Updates are rolled out over time by HQ, and there is no way to force an update for your car if you're stuck on a specific version but you keep hearing about a newer version that people are using (both of my Model 3's are on 2022.20.7, while there is a 2022.20.8 bugfix update as well as 2022.24.1 which adds features[0]).

Rolling out updates in this way provides a major advantage In terms of QA testing: they can start a new software update out on employee cars, then move to maybe a few thousand owners to get initial thoughts on the update and make sure an update works on multiple model years of cars with different hardware and module configurations (since they're constantly changing out parts to increase assembly efficiency and work through supply shortages). This is especially important given the update system in the car isn't limited to just the infotainment, pretty much every software system in the car can be updated during an OTA update, including the battery management system, ABS, safety systems[1], etc.

> "How do you build discipline if you’re undisciplined?"

Willink's answer is "Just do it." Very charitably, he suggests you should do things you ought to, even if they are painful and you don't want to do it. This actually has some backing in cognitive-behavioral therapy by starting with action first before motivation.

Uncharitably, it's not nuanced if there are deeper reasons why you should actually consider to not work on something you've planned to do (though it's hard to say when this should happen).

> "How do you decide what to be disciplined about?"

Willink talked about how his first motivation was to be very good at his assigned tasks while in the navy. Then, if I remember correctly, he said his mission after retiring was to provide for his family and to help others with his content. For others, he said to focus on physical health; emotional stability; spending money wisely; spending time efficiently; taking care of family and friends; and doing great at your (presumable) current job. This is actually a very good starting point.

My major criticism of his past work is that he seems to assume that leaders/managers work in good faith and won't exploit your hard work. In my experience and several reports by others, following his advice can lead to getting severely overworked for little-to-no reward by managers acting in bad faith.

He also hasn't acknowledged (as far as I can tell) the importance of managing office politics in advancement in many workplaces. He said that outworking someone is the best way to counter someone trying to make you look bad in the workplace, which in my view is insufficient - you also need to talk to your manager about it in a tactful way. Lastly, his current content seems to be increasingly monetized, and he's had more podcast guests who are politicians, when he used to be apolitical.
It's nice to see a cross platform library for these proprietary operating systems. (AWS, Azure and GCP.)

Reminds me of GNU Libc back in the day before Linux when it ran on Ultrix, BSD etc.
Basically, the timeline was just another word used for the feed.

He didn't want to see the feed that everyone was posting because he knows it just saps your attention / can be toxic, but he wanted the ability to post on other people's feeds so they would see the content he wanted to promote.
How I see it is that it's not that people own cars, it's that they drive them absolutely everywhere. I think there is a happy medium where you still have a car to get you places where you can't walk, but essential services are walking distance from where you live.

The apartment I moved into last year is in a neighborhood with grocery stores, some restaurants and a gym. It's not the epitome of walkability but it gets the job done. While at my old place I found myself getting into my car every day to go places, now I find myself only using it 1-2 times per week.

Also weather is a major factor. When I visited my friend in Florida last month I decided to walk to McDonalds one morning. By the time I got back I was drenched in sweat from the humidity. By comparison I make a similar length walk almost every morning and don't think anything of it. There even if the place was super walkable, folks would still drive because of the heat and humidity.
Sources and references help you make your argument shine!
> Libertarian presumption that people, removed from the system of control, would all act better"

My premise is more: "If people act better, and then perhaps we won't need a system of external control."

I will admit I dream of a world that may not be possible. However, I will continue dreaming, and act to see this dream come to fruition.
Stay with the pain, don't shut this out [DHH]
Yes. The clearest example of this for me was the fact that many things I was taught in high school were taught to me as an arbitrary concept first, without the accompanying visual relation.

Being taught a² + b² = c² with the triangle and accompanying squares drawn out much much later is the best example I can give.
“Put your robot in a forest with a few tools and soon you'll have a log house - built perfectly to the spec.l

I wonder how the capitalists will deal with this. If we have a robot that can build and maintain a house and grow food for you, how will they make money?
Well, another way to put it, it requires that fertilization be the explicit focus of the pregnancy and the means of that fertilization not really of the more, um, traditional variety.

I think at the very least there is a hurdle of willfulness (and a monetary hurdle of at least some degree — compared to the traditional alternative certainly).

To be sure it need not be prohibitively expensive, but it sounds like it will go hand in glove with the parental mindset that also seeks out private schooling, tutoring, etc. That probably takes it fairly exclusively into the domain of the well off (and want-to-be well off).
Temperature is definitely a major component, but the relationship between when moisture is available and soil temperature is more important.

Water when it's not warm enough to photosynthesize or respire versus significant water availability when soil surface temperature is warmer.

You might also note the significance of seasonal drought in northern climates. This also limits microbes ability to respire.
I wouldn't consider Revolut ethical though.

Revolut allowed people to open accounts immediately with no (or very soft) KYC but then had to limit (by law) the amount of money they could transact before passing stronger KYC. This led to a lot of people opening Revolut accounts, going abroad and ending up stranded with no access to their money once they've exhausted the initial limit, sometimes with no way to complete KYC at all if they didn't have the required documents on hand.

The ethical approach here would've been to prevent these people from opening accounts without initial full KYC or have strong & persistent warnings about the issue to dissuade people from going abroad with a limited account, but who cares about people being stranded if you can have "growth" instead?
Monzo business account is very much useless as it isn't connected to SWIFT.
oh, it wasn't real advice -- i was just having a bit of a dark sense of humor about mental health. apologies if this wasn't as obvious as i'd intended.

it does work, but as you note, it's not sustainable. It's horrible for the mind and body.

please take care of yourself -- overwhelm is the pits.
You need to have an app to sign up to Starling.
UK banks work to an expectation of 0-3% margin. In Monzo's favour is that they don't have to operate a branch network, but then again they are small compared to the high street banks. There's just not a lot of money available in accounts, even accounting for using it for lending etc. Also bear in mind that while they can use deposits to fund some amount of lending, the amount they have to keep on hand, collateral, insurance (not sure if it's called that) with the Bank of England, etc, are all very heavily regulated so that they can't mess it up, which conversely means it's much harder to monetise than expected based on a basic understanding of fractional reserve banking.
Hybrid Video/audio/semantic Captcha, perhaps?

An audio prompt like 'Using your <right | left> hand, repeat the numbers that I am signaling. Use <a different | the same> set of fingers from what I am using'.
Rich people already have children who are more intelligent and attractive than average. They do this via mechanisms like “being intelligent enough to get rich, or at least not being stupid enough to go broke” and “being rich enough to marry hot people and have kids with them”.

I don’t know if polygenetic testing is going to have a significant effect, but if it does, there is going to be a significant generation gap in intelligence, and that will have unpredictable consequences in education and the labor market.
Reminds me of this entry from the Trivia section on IMDB for Ex Machina:

Director Alex Garland has described the future presented in the film as "ten minutes from now," meaning, "If somebody like Google or Apple announced tomorrow that they had made Ava, we would all be surprised, but we wouldn't be that surprised."

Looks bad. Most of what they call gaming segment was related to crypto, they’d never acknowledge it but that’s what it was. The started cutting pricing on GPUs and I suspect confirmed they were hit by a billion charge related to inventory > making a lot of GPUs when crypto was doing well and prices were insane and now they can’t sell all those GPUs (old orderrs from chip manufacturers etc).
You might be missing the point. Some examples of realtime collaboration in the world of remote work can be: google docs / sheets, project boards (trello, miro), whiteboarding (jamboard, zoom), design/drawing, or even coding (VS code sharing).
job security
> Main thinking was how out of control it would get…

From a job listing, circa 2024:

- Job may require occasional lifting. (No more than 20kg)

- Expected to travel up to 25% of the year.

- Proprietary access control requires users be able to do handstands and/or simple juggling. (Feats subject to change)

- EEOC employer.
WeatherStar 4000
This isn't going to happen because it's much cheaper to transmit higher voltages than higher currents.

Your PC running at ~500W only needs a conductor capable of transmitting 4.2A with conventional 120V.

If you switch to a 12V source, that same 500W now needs a 42A conductor.

It's just not practical.
I don't know why this is getting downvoted. Yes, inequality exists and it sucks, but you still need to make the best out of what you have.

Also, a lot of people seem to far overestimate the work and risk involved. This doesn't help really poor people, obviously, but the amount of people with sufficient money, backing and time that complained they'd start a company if they "only also had $20 million backing from their parents" is staggering.
Actual prepping as in "preparing for the afternath of some catastrophic event that breaks civilization" is something else than the usual "cosplaying for the zombie apocalypse"-type of prepping you can observe so often.

Actual prepping would involve a ton of community networking, trying to be in good terms with your neighbours, creating lasting and decentralized infrastructure for a d with them etc.

The prepping most preppers do is just trying to be less fucked than others when the shit hits the fan. Living the ultimate rugged individualist delusion: that you somehow can survive alone if you just buy the right gear to make it through the first week and that you will have to shoot the looters who were too stupid to prepare.

The problem with all of this is typically that those rugged individuals have to depend on the work and expertise of other people in some way or another. I mean you might need electrical engineering, a doctor, someone who is good with plants and animals, whatever. Unless you are already live 100% self sustained whatever you are doing is not going to cut it without other people also getting through this.
Very interesting, but giving them the title ‘leaders’ seems a bit.. overbearing?

Do not get me wrong, there is some very interesting stuff there but half of gathering chunks of upvotes is not rocking the boat and saying anything that goes against the echo chamber.
If you look carefully at the sentences, one is using nouns, the other verbs.

"Organization" vs "organizing"

I am not nitpicking. I am saying that as conscious entities, we act. We "verb". It's the labeling that I see as creating trouble.
I've found the best way to build discipline is to find someone with discipline and have them keep you accountable. This could be a mentor of some kind. Granted finding that may be equally as hard as doing it on your own.

Also you don't necessarily need discipline in the actual thing you want to do - you just need to know what it means to be disciplined in something and then you can extrapolate your behavior in discipline itself to then be disciplined in something.
That's great for people living in houses with plenty of roofspace. Trickier for people living in cities with on-street parking.
The big topic is meta-programming with symbolic expressions

1) one can generate code and evaluate it

2) one can write simple interpreters, see McCarthy's first Lisp interpreter in Lisp -> your own eval

3) one can write procedural source code transformations, where the code is Lisp data -> transforming Lisp programs by Lisp programs -> apply the same development tools to the meta-level -> integrate it directly into the evaluator

The englightment is understanding how a minimal Lisp machinery for this works and that things fit together quite well.

4) how to apply source code to various software problems, for example in declarative programming or how to provide simpler interfaces to more complex, say, object-oriented mechanisms (-> example CLOS)

then there are a large number of consequences / further directions

* addressing the deficiencies of that model

* compilation

* language building (embedded DSLs)

* editor interfaces

* interactive programming

* UI representations as data

* machine models
Back in college I used PHPosxom, which was "inspired" by Blosxom but I guess dynamically created pages instead of statically generating them (and of course used PHP instead of Perl, useful if PHP was more accessible/functional on your shared hosting). https://sourceforge.net/projects/phposxom/ Of course the project is super dead now.

Here's my old homepage using PHPosxom, which would be valid XHTML 1.0 if the Swarthmore College Computing Society hadn't started injecting analytics into my web site: https://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/06/nelson/
I always wonder what would have happened if the Bush administration had had such robots available in 2003. There were quite a few people in power who thought the US should just invade any country they don’t like and “fix” it. Turns out this was way more difficult than thought and cost soldiers’ lives but what if invading a country just costs money?
> producers income, not wages

TNI is the sum of all "sum of all wages, rent, interest, and profits." Wages are in GDP because the purchase and sale of labour is a transaction. Even in the expenditure approach, G includes government employees' wages.

Did you click the CFI link? The "What is the GDP Formula?" section is less than 200 words.

> dollars spent on imports do not increase local GDP

No. Hence the NX/NFI border adjustment. (In the income approach we count foreigners' domestic incomes and citizens' foreign incomes instead of exports and imports.)
If "luck" is a dirty word in the startup world, I would at least like acknowledgement that the pathways to success are frequently not replicable.

Sure, nothing is certain, but some career paths are much more replicable than others. Maybe not everyone can work at a FAANGAMMATRON, there's a certain amount of luck, but "get a big tech job, work it for twenty-thirty-forty years" is still a fairly replicable path to moderate wealth.

You can look at the types of actions people took to get a big tech job (probably either "attend a prestigious university, apply straight to big tech" or "attend a decent state university, work any job in between for experience, apply to big tech") and there's probably a double-digit percent chance of you being able to replicate it.

You take any of the paths founders took to a successful company, it's almost impossible you'd achieve the same outcome trying to replicate it.

PayPal was launched by a Tiel owned company that also bought another company that Musk didn't start, zip2. Musk became CEO of PayPal, and was fired a month later for incompetence.
One small nit: Nobody is advocating "throwing away 1 billion ICE vehicles".

If you have a car that works, the environmentally responsible decision is -- unless it's an absurdly inefficient vehicle -- to keep using that car instead of purchasing a newly-manufactured EV. Even EV advocates acknowledge and proclaim this.

The point of the EV transition is to provide a more environmentally responsible solution for those people who are already in the market for a new car, as an alternative to manufacturing another billion polluting ICE cars.
Has anyone successfully used a tool like this to near-seamlessly switch clouds? I'm not trying to be a debbie downer but having bought into the Serverless Framework for a project I found that a lot of AWS-specific things crawled into the config very quickly despite the selling point of "you can switch clouds easily". The docs themselves break out GCP/AWS ways to define functions for Lambda/Cloud Functions, at that point you are still locking yourself in, just with an extra layer to debug. When I get the time I'm considering switching to just AWS Cloud Formation instead of dealing with a translation layer that translates practically nothing. I mean I know there is some syntactic sugar that I'll miss or have to recreate but it's not like I could pick up my codebase and move to GCP on any reasonable timescale.

Couple all that with the fact that using straight VMs on any cloud is one of the more expensive options available to you. As in you're better off in most cases using managed services if you are looking to save money or make life easier. If all you use is EC2/GCP-equivalent then I think in most all cases you'd be better off using a different provider (OVH/Hetzner/etc).

The codebase I'm working on now is what I consider an exemplary Ruby on Rails project. It is 14 years old and still going strong. It is structured exactly like you'd expect a Rails project to be structured. The gems the authors chosen have been reliable so far with few exceptions. We regularly step into sections of code that are 5 or even 10 years old, and modify/extend them with no issue. Even brand new programmers (fresh out of boot camp) find it easy to work with. It is a success by all standards of software engineering.
I’d subscribe to your math app. Khan Academy Kids has greatly accelerated my kids’ language and reading skills to the point where they were reading chapter books to us before Kindergarten.

Brilliant and KA seem to be the leaders in self-directed learning, but I’m still waiting for the device described in Neil Stephenson’s Diamond Age.

What does securing a WebAssembly runtime look like? Have browser developers made good strides on that front yet?

Flash declined in part because of its poor security compared to the Web proper (HTML/CSS/JavaScript), so I'm curious where WebAssembly stands.
Haha yeah, thanks! It just hit a bit too close to home as I'm going through this right now where thinking about work gives me the shakes and I can't seem to do any sort of long term deep work.
It would be interesting.

On the front of moving industry off world, it does not need to be far future. In fact, we really should have gotten on this years ago already.

We are behind schedule.

Our aversion to nuclear tech has set humanity back decades. Chemical rockets are not sustainable. Nuclear fusion rockets would be, but fear of nuclear fission made society largely afraid of all things nuclear & reliant on oil based energy gen, and the advent of dirt cheap solar allows us to have more time being afraid & using energy sources that constrain us to Earth’s surface.

Use of nuclear energy comes with it a more educated world populace wrt nuclear engineering (nuclear physics is more or less completely understood so the adventure here is in engineering and material sciences). With that more educated populace comes miniaturization of nuclear reactors, materials that can handle radiation better, perhaps even materials that can generate charge when struck by radiation such that most energy is captured in a usable form instead of generating unstable isotopes (think: like solar panels but for alpha / beta / gamma radiation). It also means more people with the background to make fusion a reality.

With fusion reactors comes fusion rockets. Contained plasma has a cool feature of being useful as a clean, high-energy matter stream that can be ejected (and imparting force) while simultaneously generating energy, all while potentially requiring orders of magnitude less reactant mass. This would completely change our relationship with space.
> I was expecting a gem-like quartz crystal inside, but found that oscillators use a very thin disk of quartz.

Interesting - watches usually use a tuning fork shape. I wonder why they use a disc here?

> Wristwatches were revolutionized in the 1970s by the use of highly-accurate quartz oscillators.

If you're into highly accurate timepieces you can pick up some amazing quartz pieces from brands like Rolex (the OysterQuartz) and Audemars Piguet (the AP Royal Oak 6005) from this time. Since brands wanted to distinguish their quartz movements from their mechanical ones the cases the quartz pieces come in are very distinct.
I feel OP is welcoming Germany’s demise as the Economic Powerhouse of Europe rather than suffering of people. Tho, both are linked because Germany is a net-importer of human capital and many will be forced to move back East, thus further pushing East Europe back into poverty.

60% seems like a lot, but it actually isn't: there are a lot of consumers (like myself) who would be more than happy to eat nothing but plant-based burgers, now that they're within spitting distance of meat in terms of taste and feel.

I'm not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but the only times I really eat hamburger anymore are when I need a convenient meal while traveling and a plant-based alternative is not available.

Steak and other "whole" cuts are harder, obviously. But 40-45% of beef consumed in the US is ground beef[1], so cutting that by even half would get us half way there. And that seems entirely possible, even conservative, without coercion based on current consumer trends.

That's just not true, the top tourism destinations are more popular than ever since covid restrictions have laxed, and the destruction of local environment is a known problem for places such as Machu Picchu and Venice, to the point where you now need to reserve and pay for a visit to the city of Venice [0]
