33% less labor time and 28% less spent on parts = 22% lower cost.

Maybe the one garage mentioned that charges more for labor when it's an EV isn't the exception.
this is the sorta thing that makes you realize we're all human and maybe we like all these cool toys b/c they're fun
It would also benefit ICE vehicles. If you could run the AC while parked instead of idling that’d be a win
As other comments note, this appears to only examine power use under load and LE is meant to idle at extremely low power. So it's worth knowing but not super meaningful that LE isn't more power efficient when in use, because that wasn't the point. (Also this assumes that the conclusion is true in the general case, which is unknown since they didn't test many implementations and BT has painfully wide variation in implementations)
IANAL, but I've read Twitter's SEC filings, and I don't see any potential inflation. The section on bots is extremely clear and specifically states that reality may be higher or lower than their rough estimate, after explaining exactly how they make the rough estimate.

So... "We think it's 5% using these methods, but if those methods are wrong, then the actual number could be higher or lower." How does that lead to grounds for breaking the contract?
Perhaps I am wrong but I suspect they intended to suggest that the people with whom you've had negative experiences are the assholes.

> ... it's possible to enjoy learning without being an asshole about it

The perspective might be that the people asking off-base questions are being disrespectful by not bothering to understand what they would like to ask.

Anyway, if it helps: I do not think you were really being an asshole but I can see how a person might have thought that you were assuming others to be assholes.

Amazing how it got lost in the ambiguity of the word "stock". There is a stock market and there are bump stocks, but the stock in there is a different concept.
A powdered sodium-ion battery offers 15 percent more energy density
> great battery life, etc.

The "great battery life" is part hardware, but largely software. See also: iOS devices with "worse" specs and smaller batteries that perform way better than "better" Android counterparts, while also having longer battery life. Some of it's hardware voodoo, but a lot of it's iOS and MacOS and various pieces of Apple software (notably Safari and Mobile Safari) being very respectful of system resources and protective of the battery.

It's a bit like how you used to be able to put BeOS on a Windows or Linux desktop and it'd feel like all the hardware was 4x higher clock / bigger memory size than it had been.

Yep, I taught myself to program on a TRS-80 Color Computer in the early 1980s using only the included manuals for Extended Color BASIC. Then I taught myself 6809 assembler with Radio Shack's EdtAsm+ ROM cartridge and included manual plus a 6809 quick reference card I got free from Motorola.

That led to a lifelong successful career as a programmer and software entrepreneur with no formal schooling in programming, tech or business. In theory, all the info for free on the web should make it even easier to self-teach and bootstrap your way into the industry but I'm not sure it does in practice. Maybe only having one available path to self-instruct was somehow more effective?

Thanks Radio Shack!

He offers to buy twitter on a whim, then changes his mind after signing a contract. That doesn't really seem like a good way of getting to the top.
It's insane because Twitter has been very careful to explain that the 5% number is not some sort of "promise".

You don't "have" a god. You can't have them in your wallet; this example is moot.

Saying "There exists vkhmcdtr" would be a closer example. Now prove me that vkhmcdtr does not exist.

And even there, if you are some flavor of Christian, saying God can be reduced to an object, or an incarnate being, can be akin to blasphemy, because they are not a "Being." They are its antecedent. Which is one of the roots of metaphysics and of course Christian theology.

The corporation exists to give new rights to a new entity (the corporation). Nothing prevents a group of people working together without a corporation - they form a corporation because they want their collaborative effort protected from individual liability.

If they don't want any change in their legal rights and responsibilities, it is simple - don't form a corporation. If they do, I'm fine with denoting the newly formed entity as something other than a person, and with not giving it the same rights as its owners.
This.

I know many people strongly believe in rational market theories. For these people this sort of betting site isn't just a betting site: it is the mechanism by which they engage in understanding politics and their primary means of political discourse. Beyond that, it is also an incentive for their own political engagement. They have several mathematical models that are strongly suggestive that they are right to have this belief.

From that framing the government should have no authority whatsoever to take action against PredictIt: doing so is a gross violation of natural rights. To me this seems like an error comparable to restricting freedom of religion, detaining someone so as to prevent them from voting, or the burning of an intellectuals book and the jailing of them so as to prevent the spread of their ideas. It seems an abomination.

What is the justification? Just that there was gambling or is there a deeper fundamental problem that I am missing? Gambling to me seems more fundamental to reality than breathing. Everyone engages in it all the time, but we just don't call it that when we think it might be a gambling category which is of benefit to society.

If there is no justification - what paths can be pursued to permanently sunder the governments ability to take this sort of action in the future? I say all this with no sense of judgement for the CFTC; clearly this is within their mandate under reasonable interpretations. Rather, I think other mandates - more important ones - supersede theirs and should be restricting their authority.
> I don't see how the code behind e.g. an AI image generator is fundamentally different than the Photoshop algorithm from a "who created the produced work" perspective.

The difference is that Photoshop doesn’t create 2D works any more than Blender creates 3D works. You may be ascribing too much magic to Photoshop.

Yes but with regenerative breaking, the additional wind resistance is probably a bigger problem above 35 mph.

One trick is to swap out the old 12V lead-acid battery they insist on sticking in electric cars with modern LiFePO4 ones to immediately save 20-25 pounds. Aluminum or alloy wheels might save another 50+ pounds if the car doesn't already have them. So it's conceivable to carry one or two 50 pound solar panels for free. An inverter and additional batteries to buffer the charge will add some weight though, since most electric cars have the artificial limitation that they can't charge while driving.

That's exactly what I believe happened. This is where the bot fails because it can't adequately understand the context of the term, which any human could pick up quickly. And it can't get basic facts right, treating information such as oil prices, which are highly variable as something where past data is relevant. This is the critical flaw in AI systems used as chatbots.
I don’t think there’s any world where that happens.

I think a judge would either order specific performance (e.g. do the thing the contract says, as specified in the contract), or we’re talking about damages (e.g. pay Twitter $X, but you don’t get anything in return).

I think a purchase at a lower price would probably only come from a settlement between the parties, and… I think that’s likely. Twitter didn’t want to be purchased in the first place, and now has Musk over a barrel. I think Twitter is going to use the threat of specific performance to try and extract a damages settlement greater than the contractual $1B from Musk.
So far an interesting exchange has started.

I hope more of you join. I am sharing about my latest interest: Frederick the Great and another member is sharing too: linters and the propagation of good practices.
They must have some internal documentation though, and the process can be looked at during the trial, right?

So it cannot be replicated by third parties, and Musk does not know what he’s talking about (shocker!), but it can be verified a posteriori. And I assume it will be at some point.
humans have an inate built-in (genetic) sense of reciprocity with regard to sharing. It will decrease the quality of his life if he feels he's participating in an unfair system, even to the point of harm (stress, anxiety)
Nope, Twitter has been very clear in their filings:

> Additionally, our calculation of mDAU is not based on any standardized industry methodology and is not necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Similarly, our measures of mDAU growth and engagement may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology.

Musk can't barge in and say "but MY calculations have a HIGHER number!" because Twitter already acknowledged this could be the case. Musk decided to buy anyways.

The main impediments against git bisect aren't commits that don't build; git bisect has a working solution for that.

The main impediments are external dependencies: the things contributing to the behavior change you're looking for which are not in the git repo you are bisecting:

- components from other git repos it depends on which were changing in parallel at around the time the problem showed up

- platform/toolchain and other dependencies; maybe the problem showed up because of a compiler upgrade.

Plus other things:

- difficult reproducibility of the issue being tested.

- multiple unrelated problems masquerading under the manifestation that you're actually testing for.

Regarding buildable commits; if you want a buildable commit to stay buildable, it has to reference the exact toolchain that was used, which has to be available. A commit that built with GCC 4 may not build with your GCC 12 today.

I've done bisects going back 10, 12 years.
The first article in this issue of BYTE has a very interesting characterization of Lisp that I have not come across before. I mean, famous quotes like "Lisp is a programmable programming language" by John Foderaro and "The greatest single programming language ever designed" by Alan Kay are often mentioned in articles about Lisp. But in this issue of BYTE, the article "An Overview of LISP" by John Allen at page 10 has something very interesting to say. Excerpt from the article:

"The best description of the LISP programming language is that it is a high level machine language. That is, it shares many of the facets of contemporary machine language --the necessity for attention to detail and the freedom to manipulate the machine's data and programs without restriction-- yet LISP is high level in that the language contains the expressive power and convenience of traditional high level languages. The contradiction is resolvable: a LISP machine is just a higher level machine whose data items are organized differently from the binary bit patterns of most machines, and the LISP programming language is the assembly language for this machine."

Consider the Emacs Lisp (Elisp) interpreter for example. Elisp interpreter is the Lisp machine. It understands Elisp symbolic expressions, the language of this machine. With enough code written in this machine's language, we get this fine editing and productivity software known as Emacs!
I stand corrected and am updating my understanding.Thanks!
Are there any public examples of the split audio files?
The race car analogy can be extended in that UE4 doesn't even give you a competitive F1 car but it's marketed as such. AAA companies outside of Epic using UE4 have spent a kings ransom on customizations to tailor it for console. Much like top F1 teams just getting an engine doesn't put you out front without a bunch more work. Nevertheless, this is only a problem if you think you can take UE4 and a small team and make a AAA game that's pushing lots of polys on older consoles at high fps without extra work.

"The fallout of the MoFi revelation has thrown the audiophile community into something of an existential crisis. The quality of digitized music has long been criticized because of how much data was stripped out of files so MP3s could fit on mobile devices. But these days, with the right equipment, digital recordings can be so good they can fool even the best ears. Many of MoFi’s now-exposed records were on Fremer and Esposito’s own lists of the best sounding analog albums...“One of the reasons they want to excoriate MoFi is for lying,” says Howarth. “The other part that bothers them is that they’ve been listening to digital all along and they’re highly invested in believing that any digital step will destroy their experience. And they’re wrong.”...And Randy Braun, a music lover, Hoffman message board member and lawyer in New York, hopes that, in the end, the MoFi revelation will prove what he’s been saying for years, that the anti-digital crowd has been lying to itself: “These people who claim they have golden ears and can hear the difference between analog and digital, well, it turns out you couldn’t.”"

I never understood WTF people were talking about with the cables. I'd go 5+ years with various Apple cables without a single sign of fraying. Not even careful with them, would just wad them up in bags when moving around, that kind of thing.

... then my kids got older, and my wife move to Apple and started borrowing my cables. They all kill Apple cables in like 6 months flat. It's incredible.

[EDIT] As for how they do that, I'm not sure, but they constantly use them stretched too far from the outlet, so there's a ton of tension on the cable, and frequently arrange them such that they're bent a sharp 90+ degrees right next to the connector, often while also under tension. I never do either of those things. I assume those are the things that cause it.

> Clearly an associations of individuals should have more or less the same rights they have individually when they come together.

If that's the case, then why does the formation of the corporation occur at all? It's not about "easier bookkeeping", it's because the corporation's existence shields its owners from individual liability. That's why it exists, rather than just non-corporate agglomerations of individuals. The corporation itself is a new legal entity, whose existence changes the legal culpability of the owners, and because of that, it makes perfect sense to me that while the owners would not lose their individual rights by forming a corporation, neither do they cede or grant those individual rights to the corporation.
The author is literally saying they didn't witness any sexual assault. The next sentence they describe witnessing sexual assault.

That might not register to a 17 year old who was raised in a culture that minimizes/hides sexual assault but the author is 40 now. They should be able to recognize what they saw for what it was and not continue to minimize it.

If they haven't learned that fondling someone without their consent was wrong then and is wrong now they haven't learned anything.

Basically every culture has had genocidal endeavors. Does this mean we can justify genocide currently, or in the future? Me thinks not. Do you want to act morally now, or use some past action as an excuse to not do the right thing?

> Gambling means a game of chance/luck. Court cases over poker, regardless of which way the decision goes, hinge on whether the Court is convinced that poker is a game of skill, rather than luck.

I think it really just has to have an element of uncertainty. For example one can gamble on chess tournaments. I suppose one can broadly construe an element of "luck" if Magnus somehow botches a game, but it strikes me as something quite different from whether or not one's lottery numbers come up.

As you say, poker is the archetypical example of a skill game with an element of chance. Backgammon is another good example. I would say darts is another example that falls further on the skill end.

> So if prediction markets are not allowed, why are day trading or stock futures allowed?

As noted in another comment on this submission, it appears one can greatly increase the chances of regulators approving an activity by having former regulators on staff. Needless to say traditional finance companies enthusiastically hire those people.
I insisted to me Go-playing friend a number of years ago that what we need is an AI that can teach, as in, can you explain why this choice was made and why these others were bad?

I'm not sure what that would exactly look like, but one of the things I like about Monte Carlo is that it works much more like how humans actually behave, and in theory when pressed on 'why', it could also behave more like humans behave: When challenged you (or at least I) run a more detailed simulation to pick some particularly juicy counter-examples. And if anywhere in there I sense self-doubt (why did I make that choice? Is it sound?) that may trigger a more exhaustive simulation. Turns out my pupil was right/wrong and now I understand the problem better myself.

What bothers me with respect to AI and patents is that if you did this, then you basically have a human rubber stamping an AI design. Eventually you'll end up with more subtle systems that resemble police work: this evidence is inadmissible in court but it does eliminate a set of suspects, so now I need to build a chain of clean evidence that points to an arrest. The latter might involve some skill and sophistication on the part of the human. The former just needs someone who can pass a sniff test on materials science or mechanical engineering who's willing to lie for money.
