> I'm skeptical that anyone can make 20m cars a year.

There's just over 30m seconds in a year, that's a car every second and a half. That seems like it would take a lot of assembly lines to pull off ignoring other constraints.

On the other hand, at 184.8″ for a model 3, that's like a stream of them bumper to bumper leaving a single assembly line at 6.65 Mph for the entire year. Viewed in that light, maybe it doesn't take that many assembly lines to reach a speed at which this would be achievable, ignoring other very important constraints. (Or maybe I made a mistake in my math.)
Thanks you, Those rules seem fair enough.

A lack of consumer surplus creates far more problems.

Again, lack of wealth causes more problems across the board.

I cite myself for my opinion.

I’ve seen a lot of failed outsourcing over the last 20 years. It’s not like companies haven’t been trying and it’s not like they won’t keep trying. In any case, I’m not sure how effective spreading the wealth through labor restrictions will be if developer salaries normalize after the next recession. I think it is probably a moot point.

Can you blame them? Cheap oil and coal made the west into what it is today. Should they be denied the same ability to get to where we are today?
Bangladeshis are low-status migrant workers all over Asia and the Middle East, and deal with the poor working conditions that come with that. And they're often targets of racism, because racism isn't as taboo outside the western world. But the situation in the Emirates/Qatar/etc is completely different than Singapore. Unless you're taking the tack that "all capitalism is de facto slavery" or something like that, the term really only applies to the former, not to Singapore.
yeah. Personally, I don't want more microchips in everything. I just want a cheap fridge, a cheap washing machine, or cheap whatever, F** the chips. Even in a car, I want the aboslute minimum amount of chips and other nonsense.
Narcissists are tough to get close to. They are very selective about the company they keep, and have such high valuations of self that their security details are top-tier. The worst people in history have always been the best-protected.

That's before the extent of their influence has your friends/co-conspirators ratting you out for their own gain.

Murder/assassination is the obvious solution. These types expect it. Don't be obvious.
I like it, thanks for posting. It brings some interesting ideas to mind.

For example thinking of fractal scopes and the concept of fractal similarity, it makes me think of e.g. the human pattern, here--well, can we expect the lesser-human pattern, the greater-human pattern, elsewhere? Is a greater-earth model applicable out there somewhere? In what ways, and so on.
> if you're smart enough to work at Google, you're smart enough to manage your own OS

Regardless of the scale, that is a recipe for having your highly capable, highly paid engineers losing hours, days, even worse - to annoying configuration issues etc. Sometimes it's the right thing to do (e.g. very early stage, no IT infra) but if you can have an IT person who is actually good/experienced at this sort of thing sort out the core problems, it's way more efficient.

It's astonishing how much collective time can be wasted on "well, it works on my machine" issues. This makes it worth coming up with some sort of systematic way to avoid (mostly) it.
You shouldn't have to. The headline should tell you what it's about.
DebugBear | Web Performance Advocate / Technical Writer | REMOTE (UK-ish working hours) | Budget: $60k - $100k a year

DebugBear helps companies monitor and optimize the speed of their websites. Typical users of our product are front-end developers, technical SEOs, and business owners.

We’re looking for someone who wants to develop a deep understanding of web performance and create technical content on this topic. For example, you could write an in-depth guide on how to optimize the Largest Contentful Paint metric [1] or investigate the impact Chrome extensions have on website performance [2].

DebugBear is a small business with two people currently working full time. You will be working directly with me (the founder) and have a big impact on how we grow and reach more customers.

Fundamentally this is a growth marketing role, but we really value high-quality technical content. Writing is the core part of this role, but if you're interested it can also include supporting our customer with site speed issues or building free tools as part of our marketing efforts.

Ideally you will have professional experience with both front-end development and technical writing.

I'm still finalizing the job spec and interview process – will get that done later this week. If this role interests you, you can email matt at debugbear.com and I'll send you more info when it's ready.

Unless China's clearly stated policy that recognizes Taiwan as a part of China changes, it isn't really a black swan event.

It's more like an increasingly active volcano. It might not blow up tomorrow, but if you deliberately built a house on its edges, it would be hard to sympathize with you when it finally does go kaput.
it sounds cool, but I wonder how much work goes into it.

Is it possible for the firm to produce the walk-around model from their actual design tools?

Without that, an Xbox based simulator is pretty expensive marketing material and it wouldn’t be a perfect match to the real plans.

My comment was indeed intentionally satirical.
I encountered variants of the 'otherkin' community in the mid/late 90s as a teenager. It was an interesting time. It existed in forums and chatrooms online at least that early. It wouldn't surprise me to find out there were BBSs for these communities even earlier than that.

Adolescents tend to engage in community-seeking behavior to a great extent, and if they're not finding it in their schools or local community, they'll almost certainly look to find it online.
I'm still working on collAnon[1], a private discussions platform(behind a PWA) with bias avoiding intent through temporary anonymity of the answers(which also means that discussions have an end date).

In the latest development I decided to change route and make it freemium, with all the previous premium features now available to everyone.

This is to make it more appealing to try this kind of discussions that are not your usual way and give ample breath to use all the features until this platform finds its audience I hope ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> market cap has proven over and over again to be kind of bogus

how do you know when a competitor with a high market is failing? when its market cap... er, goes down. i.e. market cap is the best measure we have of a company's future prospects. What you are seeing over and over is that the future is unpredictable.
Same here. I remember seeing this as a kid and being perplexed, but haven't thought about it until reading it now. This is sooo interesting, I wonder how much stuff like this we have hidden away.

Introduction to Apple Silicon
I think it is not just plausible but likely that some world views are more accurate than others, and that various techniques/frameworks can provide not overly difficult means to improve one's approach....but, it is also very easy to wind up with a misleading one, often due to unrealized/unrealizable axioms.
The one model 3 I've driven had the left rear door not aligning with the car's body when closed. It's hard to trust Tesla's manufacturing when you see that.

I'm not an expert on Zig, but my understanding is that it also has safe slices, and pointers which disallow arithmetic, and encourages their usage in idiomatic Zig. I assume that's why this nice post describes Zig as having spatial memory safety:

https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/how-safe-is-zig/

Agreed that UAF is the larger factor these days for C++. Those are just impossible to really get rid of in such a language, without the overhead of something like Type-After-Type (which in some cases is just too much).

This idea of importing CAD-type content into game engines has been around for ages. People used Duke Nukem 3D to model building interiors, and not just for workplace deathmatch amongst the IT crew.

The core problem of CAD importing in my experience is that CAD content is not at all designed for or suitable for direct game engine importing. It requires a ton of cleaning to be optimized.

It's one thing to bring in some terrain and an appropriate overlay of imagery, but another thing to try and import actual CAD content.

As an example, I had the CAD files for a large industrial printing press at work, and thought about importing them into Valve's latest engine for VR. But the CAD files were TOO detailed. I mean literally the threads on each screw were modeled, and even the interior of the lock on a cabinet that was part of the machine. Every single component on circuit boards was modeled. It brought Hammer and the game engine to its knees with all the detail.

Another issue with CAD is that not only can things be incredibly overly complex, but the model can include details that the end user simply has no need to visualize, and hence no need for the engine to try and render. Like the interior of that generic key hole latch on the cabinet. You don't need to model the interior of a pipe let alone some complex interior valve unless there is a reason to actually see that detail. 99% of the time a cylinder will do just fine.

Then there is kinematics and animation. Want doors to open and close? Objects that are moveable by humans to be physics objects? You have to do all that yourself. Why would you do that? Well because that's part of an immersive environment that creates a truly engaging and informative experience for the design you are working with.

In the end it was easier to draw on my past experience as a level designer. I selectively imported some details that would be difficult to reproduce, then hand built other components out of simple shapes and apply textures that showed the necessary detail without actually modeling it in detail. And if I did need detail, I could remodel a specific part at a higher level of detail and take advantage of built in level of detail management for models to keep the engine happy.

Summary: nice idea, been talked about for ages, not really that easy if you actually want to build good interactive content in a game engine.

Hacker News doesn't count because i am "learning something", even though i can't recall a single thing I read today
I think this approach significantly overestimates the technical powers of small stores. There are ways to search for "amazon + local retailers" -- for example Google Shopping. Google even has a special "available nearby" button specifically for offline stores! There is a clear benefit to small stores to participate in it, but still very few do. Mega-chains like Staples and Home Depot will show up, but local hardware or bicycle stores most likely won't.

So if they are ignoring Google, with millions of searches per day, what are the chances they won't ignore some little-known browser plugin? I say pretty low.

(This also brings to the other point in the article: "use of Amazon isn't a mark of your "laziness" anymore" -- if Amazon is your first stop, it absolutely is. In the past, one would use reusable shopping bags to reduce plastic waste. And now, everyone should search on google, home depot, walmart before jumping to amazon, it's simple and makes a difference if enough people do this)
But why ? would't that make rust unsafe ( by calling a libc function ) ?
You are completely wrong. Look up statistics. -Chronically- homeless people are likely drug users. That's the only part where you are partially correct.
> of course those margins will be smaller.

You know that this whole game is about profits, right? If "of course" TSLA's margins are higher, "of course" their market cap will be higher.

And yes, investors are aware that this is a function of market segment. It's also a function of vertical integration, manufacturing prowess, unions, and retirees.

> debt because they run huge financing departments

Debt isn't the right metric to focus on, but the fundamental point is that if legacy auto perfectly executes a pivot, they get to keep their cash flows, while if TSLA keeps up the status quo, they expand their cash flows.

There will be a lot of stranded assets and failures to pivot in the legacy auto sector. Investors know it and the market caps got carpet bombed to reflect it. TSLA's didn't.

> Base rate fallacy, extrapolated into infinity

> Tesla, since they are still a rounding error

Do you not see the connection? Not only can we extrapolate, we can extrapolate far more precisely than usual because we already know the size and shape of the market they are expanding into. Usually these models take the form "TSLA grows 50% yoy until they top out at 1/3 of non-China auto sales" or something, and these are the models that back the current valuations. Optimistic? Sure, but not nearly as optimistic as "base rate fallacy, extrapolated to infinity." Lol.
Just do it based on merit. Doing it based on country makes no sense.
After all the Dershowitz country club drama, and more recently, the drama with Supreme Court justices being harassed in public, this will be the norm.

Problem is, Apple's competition is ... not so good. Doesn't go for Tesla vs other car manufacturers.

Exactly. "Zig: Because [these good reasons] for WASI/WASM" or even "I just prefer Zig to Rust" is a much better argument. My point was only -- "Zig: Because people don't like writing Rust" is kind of a weird case to make, when lots and lots of people seem to like writing Rust.

Yes, this is what I though kortex meant. Thank you for clarifying.
One can easily convert cad into playable meshes and slap an fps character controller for walking around. Texturing is trivial.
I find the opposite is true. There used to be WAY more easy access to straight up illegal stuff right out of google search.
It's less that they're marketing deceptively than that the measure they were using stopped making sense. If the ITRS back in the day had known we'd stop using planar transistors they could have named their nodes for the transistor density they achieved but they didn't and so we're stuck with a naming convention that no longer refers to a real physical quantity but we are still getting the density improvements per node that we traditionally have.
Some additional reading [1] I have run across a few conflicting studies on GDF11 on nih.gov as it pertains to bone loss and will continue to read up on it. It seems some labs are already selling this in pill form at a significant cost and with disclaimers "for lab use only".

[1] - https://wikiless.org/wiki/GDF11
It was a diagnostic test. Like how a loss of fuel efficiency is a sign that something is wrong with an engine, if someone can’t meet the standard something has gone wrong. Which is why it was treated as a pure pass fail.
Another counter-argument is that interest in pop-psychology has risen over the years and that rise also aligns with abuses of psychological labels. Maybe some subjects should not have casual interests.
> None of them are making profitable EVs at scale.

Is the f150 lightning not profitable for Ford? I looked just now and can't find any information (maybe have to wait until next fiscal year?). Their costs for that line are lower than most other automakers because they share so many parts and design elements with the ICE f150.
I strongly disagree with your point “we can install twice the capacity in MW for solar and still have money left over to put into a smarter grid or storage” because you appear to be making up numbers - what is your reference to sources?

You used MW in that comment - your new comment is not clarifying whether you made a mistake or what your actual point is.

LCOE is an averaged cost/MWh, which is absolutely inappropriate to use when discussing whether nuclear is expensive or not, because LCOE ignores usage patterns (which you obviously know, but are hand-waving away as “money left over”). From your Wikipedia link: “One of the most important potential limitations of LCOE is that it may not control for time effects associated with matching electricity production to demand” and “To ensure enough electricity is always available to meet demand, storage or backup generation may be required, which adds costs that are not included in the LCOE”.

Finally, almost any plot that uses “installed capacity” is deceptive by design: because capacity factors make solar/wind appear 5x better, which is not a trivial difference on a graph. Instantaneous capacity is usually not relevant (except during “peaker” loads).
I don't think the example you gave holds. This is how I would characterize that:
