This gives me flashbacks of "advice" that Tesla should outsource manufacturing of Model 3 and focus on design.

Tesla is (also) an AI company. Musk is thinking 10 years ahead.

If you read the resumes of people leading FSD chip and DOJO: those are chip design industry veterans that Musk hired away from AMD, Apple and other.

He built a stronger team than whatever startup you think he could buy.

Those people have already been working on Dojo for over 6 years and they'll be working for next 20.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/ganesh-venkataramanan-99272a3/ is the lead for Dojo and has been at Tesla for 6.7 years.

Tesla can hire they best people and give them practically unlimited funding, certainly much bigger than any startup could afford.

This is a big, bold, risky bet. Kind of like reusable rockets or going to mars.
A smartwatch can get you something like that without always on wake-word.
"Arnal was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit accusing him, Ryan Cohen and other large shareholders of engaging in a "pump and dump" scheme to artificially inflate the price of the company's stock."

If I had to guess, he was more afraid of the legal ramifications of being sued.

Still a tragic loss of life, but paints a little more accurate of a picture.
Unless they improve the recharge speed or dramatically improve thr power density, we're gonna have ICEs for a long time. Electric vehicles are not good in cold weather, they so far have not proven themselves to be capable of long haul towing (battery life drops off precipitously while towing), there is not enough charging ports or parking spots for hundreds of millions of cars to recharge, emergency vehicles cannot depend on EV (you can't wait for an ambulance to recharge for 45 minutes). Also, power grid constraints. California recently asked electric car owners to not charge at certain times of the day. This, in spite of the fact that electric cars are still in single digit percentages of ownership. This is unacceptable and it's very clear the grid is not ready to support it.
Did you properly set up DKIm, Dmarc and SPF? I have been hosting my own email through a VM in Texas for about two decades. Whenever I had problems with rejected deliveries, they were solved by moving to the new standards the internet invented to fight spam. Did you use a dmarc analyzer to verify you were set up correctly?
Tesla started this effort 6 years ago (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ganesh-venkataramanan-99272a3/).

So no, your conspiracy theory does not align with reality.
So, like full of homeless people and litter? No, thank you.
It's all about the delta of low-cost to high-cost electricity. Most utilities are introducing time of use plans that expose customers to prices closer to the wholesale markets.

A few kWh from the middle of the charge range has about zero cost to battery life, and the owner has to pay the carrying costs of a car anyway, so their costs will be less than the cost of dedicated grid storage for those few kWh.
The thing holding me back as a renter is that a lot of buildings still don't have any way for you to charge your EV. So unless you're into hunting for available public charging sites, you're SooL.
Jumped, according to CNN:

For me, TDD has been much more about making sure the code works the first time and to the spec and much less about the structure of it.
Took a pay cut to go and work for a small nonprofit (~100 people). Best decision ever!

There is no reasonable amount of money I would accept to return to my previous cooperation.
Maybe the Smart EQ Fortwo? Hard to get in the US and out of your price point, but if you're more interested in the vehicle than the price.
It depends on the state one lives in the USA. For instance in Texas, a garage inspects your vehicle once a year on basic functionality for it to qualify for a sticker one puts on the windshield (automatic ticket if law enforcement stops you with one out of date). In California, one has to get a smog inspection every so often to qualify for the sticker on the license plate to indicate one has paid one's vehicle tax for the year (automatic ticket if stopped by law enforcement with expired sticker).
This was my impression as well. The older I get the more I appreciate someone who can admit they don't know something.
I appear to be in the one state with zero drought impact. This may be why people jumped me when I said lawns weren't all that bad. I didn't realize the scale of impact.
Accept it, while slowly looking for places that aren't hamstrung by location based pay
> maybe in an ideal world, but this is absolutely not guaranteed at all. Some chargers only support the profiles they need and don't support the lower-voltage standards in between. Even apple does this sometimes, in fact.

Apple chargers follow the USB PD 2/3 spec which doesn’t include a 12v profile, which appeared in the original PD 1 spec. There’s good technical reasons for swapping the 12v profile for the the 15v profile, as 15v is far more useful for actually charging devices, but the rug pull spec change is certainly a pain in the arse.

Good third party PD chargers will support all historical USB PD profiles, and Programable Power Supply (PPS), which allows a device to request any arbitrary voltage. But many first party charges seem to strictly implement only PD 2/3 with PPS occasionally.

The USB forum have really messed up the labelling of these specs, but manufacturers like Apple are making perfectly compliant PD chargers, and implement everything USB PD 2/3 requires.

> and yes, it should always work at the lowest-common-denominator standard, and there should be a profile for the base USB 5v 1A if nothing else but... not all devices do.

Every USB charger does support 5v 1A. That’s what you get from a USB port before you start the USB PD handshake. The resistors on the USB-C CC pin indicate passively what the port will provide without a full PD negotiation.

> Laptops often don't support lowest-common-denominator charging, for example.

Of course laptops don’t support 5v 1A charging. It’s a complete waste of time. By the time the laptops power control electronics have finished converting into a useful voltage for internal power rails, you’ll have used up most of the 5W of power provided, and turned it into heat. There’s practically nothing useful a laptop can do with a 5v 1A supply. It’s not a meaningful amount of power, and it’s not a voltage that can be efficiently utilised for anything a laptop needs.

USB-C and its associated standards are still in their infancy. For all its problems today, USB-C provides an excellence technical base, over the next decade we’ll see rapid convergence on a standard set of charging features and data features that will be implemented at scale with dirt cheap dedicated silicon. That final feature set will be far beyond anything we’ve had before, but we’re ultimately waiting for the standards to stabilise enough that the IC needed to implement the really useful features can become cheap and common.
I just picked up a Nikon N80 off ebay for $40. Early 2000s camera so will shoot in full auto but also manual mode. Ironically can be had cheaper than the earlier semi-auto Nikons.
But why involve your car? The logical thing to do is install a large lead-acid battery pack for the house, one which is dirt-cheap and won't suffer being charged/discharged. Lead acid batteries of a capacity equivalent to a Tesla can be had for a few hundred dollars. Lead-acids are also infinitely recyclable and don't involve the nasty/complex chemicals of lithiums. The ideal system would be to slowly charge the massive house battery whenever power is cheap, then dump it into charging the Tesla without drawing from the grid.
Nice flex
You often get told that you are paid by the value you produce but in reality you are paid by the replacement costs. To some degree they are correlated but companies will always spin this in their favor.

Sometimes there is also a discount based on time zone difference. If somebody is more than 4 time zones way they are harder to deal with.
Sounds like an L1 or malfunctioning L2. I’d never revert to ICE in cold weather climates. Handling is great and ability to preheat (without idling) is a wonderful convenience on cold mornings.
> Fewer than “1,500 people have ever contacted us” about issues related to the complaint, a Credit Karma spokesperson told McClatchy News.

That's a metric that would have my company in "all-hands-on-deck" mode to fix the obvious problem. How can you claim to be data-driven when such appalling data is staring you in the face?

I know we all know the answer to this question, which is that the data were also showing a higher engagement (and higher revenue) despite the complaints, so that's which side of the A/B they chose.
I think the lesson hard learned for this cohort is that some goals far in the future are now either highly likely to be unobtainable, or unwise to aim for in a world subject to AGW and future conflict (related or unrelated)

I would be amazed if there was not a similar ennui before either of the major european wars of last century.

It's not new: its the impact of seeing things your (grand-parents and) parents could achieve with "hard work" and realising you won't.

Maslow has also shifted a bit (yes, I know at some level it's been disproved or is over-stated) -"winning" at the career has ceased to be a core drive given you can be comfortable as a slacker/slow-quitter.
Seems fine as long as they pay to clean up their mess, which means that their costs will be higher which they pass on.
Yes, or omitted them. They weren't supposed to be / documented to be necessary or functional, just keep the port clean of grime (robots operate in dirty environments) and mitigate signal loss.
Funny that you mention that, I had a Smart Fortwo EV. Got destroyed by a Ford truck. I loved that little car.
Posting someone's address can obviously facilitate a swatting. In some cases, it might even make someone an accomplice to one. But just recklessly posting someone's address doesn't make one an accomplice.

There's no implied request for someone to SWAT or even harass the person. I get that this provides no comfort to the victims, but this isn't Brandenburg incitement.
Ubuntu Sway Remix ISO download now available
Not sure when Ubuntu Sway Remix came online. I've been watching the sway distro space for friends while I've run arch derivatives such as garuda sway, manjaro sway, and swayos.

I downloaded the ISO, burned it to a USB disk. Booted on a spare machine and went through the installer.

The only hiccup I noted is that the only available partitioning option was manual partitioning, despite the fact that this box was running Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 previously and had the disk configuration from that install perfectly intact.

In fact, I had to delete all the previous partitions, create new GPT, /boot, /boot/efi, /, and swap partions with FAT32, FAT32, ext4, and swap, respectively. No big deal as I've been here before.

After that, everything went as expected except that the installer froze at a solid underscore cursor after I told it to reboot. Powered off and back on and everything worked fine.

Looks and behaves about the same as one of my arch-derivative sway distros out of the box.

Only problem post boot was that I could not apt update followed by apt upgrade the kernel. May be transient failure. I'll try again tomorrow.
I also dislike the increasing use of you won't believe... type hidden meaning teaser in the Graun, or the hyperbolic headline. All I can say is, it's worse in other media.
> Bay Area companies hire in the Bay Area, for the same reason companies are founded in the Bay Area to begin with: because most of the VCs in the US live in the Bay Area.

You're putting the cart before the horse. Investors live all over the place, and large funds have offices in markets where there is a signifcant number of possible high growth companies to invest in. And they'll invest where they don't have an office and always have.

The reason why so many investors are in silicon valley and san francisco is because of the companies. And the companies are here because of the environment. I've worked around the world but the reason I love working in the valley (specifically the peninsula) and not elsewhere, not even SF, is because of the extreme density of people, resources, markets, and just the sheer intensity of the place. I hire from all over the world, but really, just getting shit done is so much easier around here.

Ignore the bros. Those assholes get the press 'coz they're interesting to write about. I'm talking about nerds in true tech businesses like hardware, software, mechanical systems, pharma.

It's not for everyone, and even people who would like it may choose elsewhere for other reasons. Those decisions are all legit too.
If the purpose of an ad blocker is to not see any ads and unless you can show me a web page that shows ads when I’m running 1Blocker that doesn’t with a supposedly superior solution then how is 1Blocker on iOS inferior?
It is terrible. Try it against any of the cloud providers. The problem is the lack of data.
There is something going on about people changing their preferences on career decisions, I can't fully elucidate it myself... I have read multiple pieces discussing parts of it, without nailing it down.
Tesla has a path to economies of scale: they already announced that if Dojo works as expected they'll make it available to others as an AWS-style service.

Which is brilliant: they might end up making money on this.

AI is clearly here to stay. The demand for AI training will clearly explode in the future.

Running training in-house is not easy or cheap. You don't just plug in 1000 NVIDIA GPUs. You need massive up-front payment for GPUs and you're basically running your own extremely energy hungry datacenter .

Tesla might built and operate massive datacenters. They'll use as much as they need for internal needs and sell the remaining capacity to others.

This might take 5 years but the path to do it is clear.
There was no reason to waste money for this. You don't want to focus on two incredibly resource-intense and error-prone processes in the same company (Automotive, Semiconductor).

This is a hype project simply created to pump up the stock price.
Republican politicians notably tried to blame the ice storm outages last year on green energy. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/texas-wind-turbines-...
The law enforcer cannot trespass the land especially if he is not from their state. Some states also allow these out of state law enforcer to be exterminated on probable cause as well. Dox these law enforcers names and also the fair's committee. Election is coming. Everything is legal during election time including doxing.
Perhaps we will walk to our local corner printing center.
Not kill. Control. Like Tesla deleting features that the original owner paid for. Like BMW charging a monthly fee to activate features already built into the car. Like UI updates that are automatic and make options worse but you can't stop the updates.
Actually I agree
$67m is quite low for a tech organization. Wikimedia pays below market rate for every position. They have quite a lot of staff for that amount of money.

$67m is around 300 software engineers at a bay area company, only considering salary. If equity is included, it's probably closer to around 200 engineers. Of course, there's other employment costs, so in reality it's even fewer employees than that.
I think many would agree that object-verb is the better way, but the vim way is old and more established. I would imagine the sheer number of users would be far more for vim’s model.

That said, it’s a mode that could be introduced in the future as kak-mode I suppose.
I’ve been thinking about this recently, and I don’t think it is unfair or bad. Having more money and wealth in smaller towns will in the long term benefit the town, no? If anything in the long term it will be terrible for expensive cities, since people will eventually gravitate towards locations where they can have more for less. Personally for me the most important criteria is finding great schooling for my kids, I don’t want them to have to struggle like I did for the first 30 years of my life.

Sadly some careers pay more then others but that’s life. It’s why I worry about the education system eventually crumbling, since teaching and in some countries even healthcare professionals are woefully underpaid. I wish it wasn’t the case but some people get lucky and others successfully follow the money, whilst society allows governments and or private industries to milk human kindness for as much as it can get away with.
The AP Star Wars Exam
The other day 8 looked at the IMDB score for the Rings of Power. The score was something like a 3 out of 10, but what caught my eye is the number of user reviews was nearly 200,000. That is way higher than it should be at this point. The problem is that people who haven't even seen it are creating Imdb accounts just so they can give it a negative review. This happened with the all female Gohst Busters movie as well. After the trolls got board they stopped filtering the reviews and it wound up around something like a 7, which is pretty accurate. That Ghost Busters movie wasn't amazing or bad, it was just average, and trolls who had a problem with the premise refused to watch it, which is fine, but then also gave it a 1 star user review just because they hated the idea which isn't.
Helps with the accidents but otherwise has most of the same disadvantages as a car.
In theory it's unnecessary. The problem is that one of the main selling points of the Pakon is its convenience - then again, if somebody wants to do things the hard way, who am I to stop them?

I don't have any plans to develop a cross-platform client, but I will be publishing more technical information about the scanner so people aren't left wondering what I know.
Tbh, I don't see a problem with this. Throughout my 10+ year career in India I've been paid less than my counterparts in the US, and probably less than a few juniors as well. However the difference has reduced significantly from 10x to 2-3x now.

Just because we all work remote now, I don't feel that there should be parity in our pays. I'd probably be pissed if a counterpart in, say, Bangladesh was being paid much more than me though :-).
>> Unless they improve the recharge speed or dramatically improve thr power density

That may be the doomsday scenario. Imagine we had a new battery tech today that could cram 1000+miles into a car in say 5 minutes. EV sales would spike. ICEs would disappear. Then everyone would get their new EV home ... and the national electricity grid would collapse.
according to what I just read on wikipedia, the original meusli recipe from Dr. Bircher has 1 tablespoon oats.
>The trouble with 5G is that it will be the final nail in the coffin of location privacy,

And yet it's first deployed set of standards that encrypts IMSI? (this is pushing Stingrays to obsolescence, Harris stopped making them) https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwide-digital-identity-an... < from one of the world's primary producers of SIM cards.

In a densified enough network (cities) the carrier knows where users are within a few meters by correlating timing advance from the towers. This is independent of any software installed on user equipment. mmwave spectrum in the most populated areas (stadiums/train stations) brings this to centimeter-level due to physics, but we're just splitting hairs. This should be a key area of focus on privacy legislation, on 'who' should be allowed to access this data (LEO with a warrant). Even if user device lacks the hardware, the network side can have hardware installed to measure precise location of user equipment

Other wireless technologies independent of the cellular network can be used for correlation and privacy relies on the device randomizing macaddr for beacons, both Bluetooth and WiFi. GNSS (except for Beidou, which is disabled in firmware in the US) are one-way comms unless the phone is snitching on you.
Well… Many Rust enthusiasts treat it either as a silver bullet or everything else as unholy (unsafe).

Besides, syntax and complexity wise I think Rust is even worse than C++.

As a gamedev I am not interested in Rust. Zig, Jai and Odin seems much cooler/interesting.
During first AI day Tesla already said that they have plans and ideas for 10x improvements for Dojo v2. And I'm sure one of the improvements is to use 5nm or 3nm process.

They've already been working on this for almost 7 years. This is not some side projects but a serious operation. They have to ship something sometime and they decided to ship this now.

I'm confident that they know about 5nm process and chose 7nm for good reasons.

There will be next version and next process.
It's funny to see that "so slick it slides off surfaces all on its own" is an issue that dates back to the Nexus 4.
That seems like a very low power charger that had nothing to do with the cold.
I love the ideas behind functional programming so I assumed that I would love Haskell. However it turned out that I am more productive and happy using C++/C#/Java/Typescript for real world programming. Having said that, I learned a lot from learning Haskell and it made me a better programmer in other languages.
The Hobbit, in German and English. Tolkien has such expressive language it’s great to read in a foreign language.
Money, career, also projection of worth/value (it’s like saying you went to an Ivy League college)
I'm also fine with a Content Blocker app (I use local made one) like you. It rarely miss some ads (I don't know is it due to missed rules or API) but ignorable. So I'm not against for Apple/Google to introduce rule based API for efficiency. I just say Web Extensions on Safari seems to irrelevant for this topic. You can say "Content blocker is fine" instead. Technically it's less capable than what webRequests API can do, but it's almost fine for most users except like HNers.

The dictionaries mentioned here speed up for small files where the dictionary would be bigger than the raw source. You don't need that for a Mysql dump. Its many times bigger than the dictionary. You could theoretically save space for large files by sharing a dictionary but the saving is probably negligible.

My dad let me go to work with him (running a radio shack) on weekends while i was in high school. Didn't pay me much but the value was in the education, learning how to sell and solve people's problems with technology.
Taking advantage of bike lanes in cities is a huge advantage for a battery/motor assisted bicycle, but I do most of what you describe with a Yamaha XT250. Just don't go out if it looks like rain. You have your helmet and pack a raincoat in case you get unlucky. To carry some groceries you could easily rig a small rack on the back where you can attach/detach a grated plastic crate. Then put some in a backpack.

I don't do all of that but I could easily do it. I'm at the stage of my life where owning a small truck like a Tacoma or Maverick makes a lot of sense due to the utility. You have a lot of good ideas. On your negatives for EVs, I'd say walking infrastructure can't really occur without living in a dense city. Pipedream otherwise. Acceleration is less of a problem rather than people not paying attention at all, smartphones. As far as the weight, that will go down over time as solid state batteries come around.

I wouldn't trade my motorcycle for an EV motorcycle without significant advances, I also don't see interstate towing being overtaken by EVs anytime soon. You just can't beat a diesel for that whether it be in a pickup, van, or semi, and it will be tough to do so. Yet EVs in general are definitely inevitable as they are already better for countywide travel.
