You are making a number of mistakes.

First of, Tesla is buying massively from Panasonic, LG and CATL. They are also doing their own batteries in addition to that. The production of that is behind schedule, but not that far, and I can believe how little credit Tesla is getting for literally turning into a battery company over just a few years. Their batteries are gone give them a huge advantage in margin.

> depend on volume 4680 production which is behind at Panasonic as well

Tesla 4680 have nothing to do with Panasonic. Panasonic is also gone make 4680 format cells for Tesla, but those are totally different and have nothing to do with the cells currently shipping from Texas.

> Ford has the supply for 400,000 EVs lined up

Tesla makes that many in less then 6 month. And there is a large difference between signing a supply agreement and actually getting it. The lithium industry had scaling problems and pretty much all expert suggest a shortage is coming.

For Ford to get all those materials, it requires a huge number of supply expedition projects to go correctly and that is not at all guaranteed.

For until a few years ago didn't even believe that had to worry about batteries or battery materials at all. And since then they have done a 180 and try to tell everybody how EV focused and smart they are, when in-fact they are behind the curve.

> Volkswagen has the supply to outproduce Tesla in 2024

Not sure where you got this from, but its false.

> BYD is already producing more PHEV/BEV than Tesla

Nice that you snuck PHEV in-there. But yeah BYD is a great company, but their cars are mostly China only.

> if there is a solid-state breakthrough it won't be happening at Tesla.

Solid stage or rather what people actually mean by that, lithium anodes, is not inherently superior to silicon anodes. Andt Tesla has some of the most interesting research in that direction.

Also solid state will not really be relevant in the BEV space for many years to come.

I find trivial inconvenience essential for establishing positive habits.

They make me focus on my intent to establish a habit.

Habit establishing requires perseverance in the face of a bit of bother.

The big hurdles are the big hurdles. Small frictions get smoothed by repetition…or by simply becoming ordinary parts of the process.

Willingness to do things that suck is the nature of positive habits.

To a first approximation if it doesn’t feel a bit unpleasant at first, it probably isn’t a positive habit.
React Native isn't really web based. It draws real, native UI elements, not HTML.
They are posters, so the colors will definitely look different in print than on screen.

I’m guessing these are spot colors from the Pantone catalog. The nominal sRGB value is often quite different from what the actual pigment looks like in different kinds of lighting.

The lighting of the space is something to consider particularly for poster color design, as posters typically need to look striking from a distance in rooms with uneven lighting.
Obviously I don't think apples/oranges are in the same category as cookies/pizza. The reason why I said they fit the criteria for "ultraprocessed" is to show how absurd your rule is (ie. "something that feels engineered to please your tongue is usually ultraprocessed").
I wonder if they considered Flutter as well, but their website is probably written in React so it makes sense to use RN as well to share relevant code.
I don’t think RN is becoming the lingua franca for apps at all. That seems like a massive overstatement.

But I don’t think the language matters. Momentum is just too high.

The market, at least in most of Asia, Europe, and North America is saturated with smartphones. The only way to get reasonable numbers is most customers have to be converts from the existing players. Let’s ignore other things that make the platforms sticky (Google Assistant, iMessage, whatever). You still have apps.

Your new phone won’t have apps. No apps means no users. No users means no developer interest means no apps. It’s a vicious cycle. You need to bootstrap.

Palm and MS couldn’t do it back when the market wasn’t saturated, even paying money like MS did.

Not everyone uses FB or Twitter or Instagram or TikTok. But missing those four alone will probably doom your phone. Plus streaming services. Can you give away enough money to those companies to get them to care about your platform for a few years? Uber and Lyft?

And it’s been a long time since MS tried that. Since then there are billions more apps. Banks, credit cards, rent payment, games, utilities, restaurants, so much more. Even if you get the big boys onboard I think many people wouldn’t switch because of the long tail.

Basically we’re at the point that I think network effects make having a third viable platform impossible outside some very large external force, such as a mandate from an authoritarian government like China that everyone must use some new OS they create.
What does that have to do with being “western”?
It depends on how much money they made on the fraud divided by the probability of getting caught. The company’s entire profit isn’t really relevant.

According to your link the company actually lost money. So if the fine should be proportional to the company’s profit, the government should be paying Opendoor?
Yes, DM me.

> in case of mode hardcore Linux users it wouldn't be the best user experience.

The "best" user experience you're referring to is getting surprises like your OpenSSH 9 suddenly stopping to work with your key agent [1] out of the blue because they decided to change the protocol (no big deal right?) without any hint of this whatsoever during normal usage, and you just casually upgraded your packages because, well, when did Linux package upgrades ever hurt anybody?

(Just the latest incredibly frustrating surprise your fellow "Windows person" literally had to spend hours on tracking down. And that I actually remember. Most definitely not the only one.)

Exciting! I've been buying X1 Carbons for a few years now, but I'm excited to see more SKUs coming with Linux. I think we're far from having too many choices! I have a few friends who have been using Windows for years, but with Valve investing so much into Linux gaming, and how decent PopOS is for many use cases now, they're saying they'll switch to Linux before going to Windows 11. Maybe _this_ year is the year of the Linux desktop?

Tangentially, I actually think there will need to be serious consolidation for Linux to become mainstream. Developers will not want to support many distros, so I think there will need to emerge a main distro that has support. This has kind of already happened, and there's been a main set of software that most popular distros vend, but the kind of consolidation I think would be necessary may never happen. Linux may always be for tech hipsters. Guess we'll see!

If google's products cause harm, they also get recalled and/or google gets sued.

Yeah, lawyers are just lining up to represent those homeless folks, elderly grandmothers, and people who just don't get tech.

Except they're not.

Clearly you've never been poor.
In addition to the folks mentioned, I'm no longer able to log into google accounts due them insisting on having a telephone number. Which I won't be giving. Wouldn't be surprised if they already knew it somehow. :-D
Why? I use it all the time and I think it works great.
Really? A statement like "New Orleans has better food than East Saint Louis, Illinois" doesn't sound that silly to me.
It's basically Pressure Tactics 101. Claim (without a shred of proof) that you have a magic key to lower costs. Create a false sense of urgency to close the deal right now or miss out. (That one should be familiar to anyone who has shopped online in the last decade BTW, and I'll bet more than a few of you have implemented it.) You can do it with any kind of asset, really, but houses are big assets and the process is more complex/opaque than most so they're a perennial favorite. If somebody could truly make buying or selling a home that much better, you wouldn't hear about it by them coming to you.
Hey all, Ilia here.

There's some very interesting flags at the lowest level of NVidia SASS (machine code) that the PTX compiler adds.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.06826.pdf

PDF Page 14 (physical page 12) shows that every instruction on NVidia Volta SASS has 4-bits of "Reuse flags", 6-bits of "wait barrier mask", 3-bits of "Read Barrier Index", 3-bits of "Write Barrier Index", 1-bit "Yield Flag" and 4-bits "Stall Cycles".

> Wait barrier mask; Read/Write barrier index. While most instructions
have fixed latency and can be statically scheduled by the assembler, instructions involving memory and shared resources typically have variable latency.
Volta, Pascal and Maxwell use dependency barriers to track the completion
of variable-latency instructions and resolve data hazards. When a variablelatency instruction writes to a register, the assembler associates it to one of
the 6 available barriers by setting the corresponding write barrier number field.
When a later instruction consumes that register, the assembler marks the instruction as waiting on that barrier by setting the bit corresponding to that
barrier in the wait barrier mask. The hardware will stall the later instruction
until the results of the earlier one are available. An instruction may wait on
multiple barriers, which explains why the wait barrier mask is a bitmask, not
an index.

--------

It seems like NVidia has invented something very interesting here. I don't quite understand it myself, but its quite possibly what you're talking about.

__EVERY__ instruction, on NVidia machines Volta and newer (and one control-every 3 instructions on Pascal, and 7 on older Kepler systems). So these "bundles" could be seen as "better-Itanium" back in Kepler/Pascal, but perhaps the modern NVidia GPU core is fast enough to have such pre-compiled dynamic behavior / barrier interpretation every instruction these days.

It seems like a lot of instruction-bandwidth to eat up though, since each instruction on Volta is 128-bits / 16-bytes long since there's so much control information
Are you worried about tolerance, taking modafinil regularly?
Your first para is correct but this doesn’t mean that Intel will become the TSMC of the west.

Doing so needs not only huge amounts of investment but a massive change in the business model and by all accounts culture. Neither of these are a given at all.
I'm not saying that Opendoor isn't being misleading on this point, I'm just saying that the FTC didn't say what the article said it did :)

> I rather not spend time messing around with my own OS (my workflow aside) and leave it to other people.

I don't really understand what "messing around mean" in your context. Exotic things like slackware or alpine aside, all major popular distros now offer unattended updates, easy upgrade path between major releases.

Your vscode, neovim, jetbrains whatever or emacs do not work differently from one distro to another and since nowadays many external stuff is either distributed as static binaries, containers or flatpacks or appimages everything is quite straightforward and not distro specific.
It sounds bad, and it is, until you realize that he was stealing street signs, which is a crime in probably any country, not just Singapore. TBH, who decides to steal street signs in a foreign country?

Under the 1966 Vandalism Act, originally passed to curb the spread of political graffiti and which specifically penalized vandalism of government property,[1] Fay was sentenced on March 3, 1994, to four months in jail, a fine of S$3,500 (US$2,814 or £2,114 at the time), and six strokes of the cane.[6] Shiu, who pleaded not guilty, was sentenced to eight months in prison and 12 strokes of the cane.[7]

Yes, the US does not cane people but it also has a death penalty, bad prison conditions relative to other g-20 nations (solitary confinement for example), and people get long sentences for recidivism, or for certain felonies, or under 3 strikes laws. I think there is room for improvement for many countries, not just Singapore. He was sentenced 4 months for stealing the signs, which is commensurate with a misdemeanor in the US (1 year max).
Two points:

Pointing the finger at others is not a good place to start with this. You broke the site guidelines egregiously and repeatedly, regardless of what other people did. Please fix this first, and then if you have a point or a question about moderation, I'd be happy to address it further.

It's easy enough to see that we moderate comments that break the site guidelines whether they agree with any particular view or not (your side, the opposing side, or otherwise). There were several examples in this thread alone.
Understood. The ideas you mention overlap considerably with the notion of the moral sphere as explained by Robert Kane at the University of Texas at Austin. His books and audiobooks are very accessible and well done.

To summarize, when acting within the moral sphere (which Kane defines as the situation where people are acting in a way that respects other people's rights), we should act to maintain it.

But when it breaks down, we do the best we can to restore it, which might mean acting less ideally toward the people causing breakdown.
>your universal human rights

Are a lie. You only have the rights that you are able to wrest away from your government and those are far from universal.

Look at freedom of speech for example, then try to criticize the royal family when in Thailand.

Of look at your "right to self-defense", then look at how several western countries are acting in that regard. Or NYC even.

The US constitution states that only the powers enumerated are given to the government and everything else is reserved for the people. But look at how we act when our political adversaries are silenced or trampled, "Show me where in the constitution you have that right". We are willing to throw away our power to hurt those we find distasteful.

There is nothing universal about rights, except that you must win them through struggle and guard them jealously
It’s quite remarkable to me that the concept of “universal human rights” has made the jump from its Judeo-Christian origin—where there is a universal God to which to ascribe these universal rights—to secular thought. I don’t expect “universal human rights” are anything that would show up in an autopsy or other empirical investigation?

Where do these “universal human rights” come from? Who decides what they are? It’s hard to overlook the fact that, in practice, “universal human rights” means “the morals beliefs of people of European descent.” (Observe the downvotes to my comment below describing how Asians view the obligations of children to their parents.)
Hi, I'm making Codelime https://twitter.com/codelimeHQ which starts as my need to store code snippets I use often. It also contains some nifty tools for daily iOS development like generating model code from JSON or Asset Catalog icon set.

Recently I've added a tool to craft beautiful snippet screenshot. Since Codelime manages snippets, it would be missing to not allow sharing it.

The app is available for both Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Thanks for reading and hope you find the app useful.
Yep good point. RAW is amazing in that regard.
Let's say I have a web visits analytics log database, with a column "user-agent" and a column "url" that have most of the time the same values (99.9% of rows have one of 100 typical values).

Would this work well with compression here?

ie. from 50 bytes on average for these columns... to a few bytes only?

You seem to be working with a different definition of "wrong" than the rest of the planet.

There are people becoming homeless and losing government benefits because of Google.

Either you didn't read the letter, or you are a deeply amoral person who should seek professional help.
Dealerships are collectively, very powerful groups. This would not the be first time they've convinced Congress to dump money into their pockets with such schemes. CARS Act comes to mind.

The outrage will come, but dealerships will have bled every dollar they can before anything is done. And the same people voting for the bill will come out next year campaigning against such corruption and stupidity by the government.
A CPU built around the Gentoo philosophy would look like https://github.com/SpinalHDL/VexRiscv ;). Don't want an MMU? Fine. Need a larger RAM interface? You got it. Barrel ALU for DSP? Sure.

Interpreted languages work by consolidating all of the optimization effort in the interpreter. This is similar to how CPUs work now, instead of extremely specific optimizations that are hard to create distributed among all code we use very general optimizations that push the limits of mathematics that is centralized in a CPU.

-----

Itanium had a lot of contemporary issues that made it not work. I would certainly blame Intel's business practices and reputation for a large part of it. There are likely niches for such processors. The VLIW is useful for DSP or graphics. Indeed, the only extant VLIW (that I know of) processor is the Russian Elbrus. I think the VLIW is only included to let them reuse a lot of the core logic of the CPU to drive a DSP engine, useful for radar and scientific simulation, though the sci sim would probably use commercial hardware which would be faster.

It works on GPUs because they're doing DSP, basically. We could have weirder topologies for GPUs however, like a massive string of ALUs driven off an embedded core, so you try to kachunk all your data in a single clock domain after configuring the ALU string.
I really wish Chrome for Android had a menu option for "Show Simplified View", rather than just guessing. Some of the worst sites won't trigger it, presumably because the HTML is so simple the algorithm assumes you don't need it.
No word on cost that I could see in the article. I’m assuming it will be ludicrously expensive like ArcGIS proper?
Interesting plot twist! Economists do study these trends and you seem aware that the fact of having a right to something is trending among hackers, however I'm struggling to understand how any of what you just said relates to pruning code.
Not sure what the "very old con" is, but the notion of AI-washing bad behaviors (e.g. predatory practices) is a fascinatingly succinct way to describe a lot of vaporware or similar issues "AI" promises.

I work in the space -- I'll be using this. Thanks for the encapsulation!
Well, I'm now much better informed!

It does sound as if there's not much methodology in this business, beyond empirical testing. Like, is there a science of 'camouflagology'? [oops, when inventing words, never mix latin and greek]

It just seems like it's basically lore, gathered from talking to fgillies and field experience, augmented by tests (which may be omitted, or the results ignored). Anyway, it might be fun to take a minor in camouflagology.
Had to look it up [0], as I didn't know it.

Side note: I'm always happy to learn a new reference, but most of them are heavily US-centric, and for people like me who didn't grow up in the US, and live or lived in the US in their adult life, sometimes it's a bit too frustrating, because there's just too much of it going around.

The worst of all is when the reference is killed by Italian dubbers/translators (in Italy you can rarely watch TV series or movies in their original language, which is very comfortable, but deeply damages your ability to understand cultural references, which most non-US foreigners would get because they watch the original English version of everything).

Anyway, just to give all of you some new perspective of how these things are perceived by some foreigners.
