I think the cost of professional indemnity for the more tangible branches of engineering really cuts into revenue in a way software production does not.

You need to insure for life of design, in practical terms it means you pay a premium for 7 years for a design delivered today, dropping off in premium/coverage each year as it is viewed the owners ops and maintenance acquire responsibility over time.

It can get expensive when you might consider an event of, say, blocking Pt Hedland harbour at cost of up to ten billion dollars a month.

I am an EE in the West consulting on electrical, controls, safety, integration etc and holding my own for rates vs IT for all but the most extreme IT rates I have seen or heard of, but only just after the recent run - my wife just changed jobs (in IT field) for an extra 100k, I am on the same rate as 12 years ago, but it was an awesome rate 12 years ago...
It is a conspiracy theory to associate commercial connections with scientific research and publications.
Any examples of cars where that's the case?
Oh wow, that's quite impressive. I assume they're just using a 128-bit datapath like NEON? Thanks for the correction.
Higher electricity demand is a problem is you're trying to. Build grid storage. And no, not everyone is onboard with the idea that battery cost is going to plunge by orders of magnitude. In fact, the opposite trend is happening. Battery costs have increased recently: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/new-york-battery-storage-co...
Well yes and no, I think in my scenario people would fall to strange quasi bronze age era with modern equipment but no means to produce anything but basic primitive tools (only some would have capabilities/knowledge to produce tech)

So first gen survivors would remember the good times.

It’s more that a system should not allow a single fraud to shape its understanding and its policy. Assume fraud exists.
> If you have energy, you have refrigeration.

Not without having invented and scaled manufacturing for the refrigerator is the point. It is clearly not a given that access to energy results in the existence of certain technologies, although it does increase their probability of existence.

All of these things intermix. Having energy is a cause and an effect.
It would create competition. Are you going to buy the smart thermostat with a five year expiration or a ten year?
I often really like this community, but I have found people here especially prone to falling to the "meritocracy trap". ie.: believing they are mostly where they are because of ability, worthiness or hard work, rather than mostly luck.

That's really unfortunate, and results in a lot of non-self-aware political bickering.

An EV going faster than 15mph is quite audible and one going slower than that can stop on a dime. If you can't hear anything it should be safe to cross.

I'll have to go through my list but for now, here's a thread of VCs who don't require a warm intro: https://twitter.com/TheLizNunez/status/1557354399093198849
Educated societies existed before refrigeration and manufacturing so those aren’t prerequisites.

The real prerequisite is an ‘educated society’ so there’s a bit of a bootstrapping/chicken/egg problem which is super difficult to solve.
For new cars that's not true anymore.
Do they indeed? They appear to be getting proven right on a daily basis, lately.
They killed the Charger brand in 1987, then reintroduced it in 2006.

Fast cars are dangerous on our streets and responsible for a significant number of deaths on the road. It wouldn’t be bad if they killed the brand for society.

It’s too bad that “car that gets you great mileage and helps protect kids in driveways and crosswalks” doesn’t sell.
This is a good idea. We need a Constitutional amendment for a balanced budget. It is clear neither party can control spending. Also a limit on the Interstate Commerce Clause which the courts have expanded beyond recognition giving Washington DC much more power than originally contemplated.
This is only a problem when there are other loud vehicles around. If all vehicles are more quiet, you'll still be able to hear them, it just won't be as loud as it is today.
A bum usually contributes less to the society than, say, a food truck operator.

For some context, the first Tesla Roadster also had a transmission, but Tesla quickly realized that it's far better to simply scale up the motor so that the torque curve is high enough at higher RPMs, electronically cap the torque at low RPM, and remove the transmission altogether. Considering transmissions are one of the most expensive and common major parts to repair in a vehicle, it is astounding that anyone would try to bring it back.
The most amazing thing about this story is that Robert Morris, of all people, was the one who dismissed it as a spam company. Ironic, hilarious, something like that…

I wish Android had a compatibility layer, along with some sandboxing measures to keep security threats from being too serious. That way old programs can still stick around, and leave more time for devs to focus on new programs instead of maintaining old ones.

My comment is more about why torque should be limitable, not a critique on electric cars.
> we should be tackling this where it broadly affects everyone.

Can you cite an example of what you mean? There's nothing being espoused that affects "everyone" unless you're excluding all persons who don't meet your criteria for personhood. Opposed viewpoints are relative extremes to each other, so measuring by majorities is how this typically get addressed in society. Legislation isn't a benevolent, objective, or unbiased action.

As a bit of anecdata, I received a spam message from SendGrid about 3 weeks ago (while just a few spam messages per year make it through), and that's how I've learned about them. But I guess they won't stay out of DNSBLs for long if the portion of spam messages will be particularly high.
I suspect you're over indexing on what what a person being stalked would do with code. The source code is a tool, and it can become clear to people outside of the corporate interests what the security model or lack thereof is.

I'm curious whether you think there is any benefit for tracking technology to be proprietary.

AI is not a legal entity. Whoever owns/operates the AI owns any results produced.

Look at this this way --- AI is simply a tool, like the "brush" an artist choses to use.

Also there are too many grey areas.

"Grey areas" have always existed and AI doesn't change this.

If you produce a derivative work without permission that is too close to the original, you can be accused of infringing copyright. Who decides? Ultimately, a judge or jury.
I'm not sure I understand your last sentence? If I were running a forum dedicated to the principle/culture of "free speech" I would think it's especially important to avoid promoting hate speech, or you run the risk that free speech and hate speech become seen as synonymous, and the wider public deciding that free speech isn't a worthy ideal after all.
Try reading for comprehension. The parent said, "You lucking out in which country you’re born in..."

You were lucky in that YOU were born in the US. Your parents could have lived in India. Or China. Or Chad. Or the Ukraine. Just so happens they lived in the US and, as a lucky consequence, you were born in the US.

But unless you're Native American your ancestors weren't born here. They were immigrants too. America is a huge multi-cultural melting pot spanning generations. 97% of the population are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants.

Getting tired of the folk that move in and then say, "Hey, I've got mine. Now it's time to close the door on everyone else."

Moving from manual to power brakes is also a recipe for slamming on the brakes..

In high school, I drove a really old car with manual everything (including brakes). Our drivers ed class was taught on 80s american sedans, with overboosted power steering and brakes where you could probably just touch them with a single toe to stop. Coming from the manual brakes in my car where I needed to stand on them to stop, I'd inadvertently slam on the brakes early in my turn at the wheel and throw everyone against the seatbelt tensioners..
Peronsally, IMO: you should submit methodology--including the data analysis and statistical tests you'll perform, to a journal before the study has been conducted. Then, they say yes or no and if yes you perform the study and as long as it is performed to the approved specifications, you get published.
>Do you support the same for fat people? …and if not, why not?

I already answered this. No, I do not; please see the second paragraph in the grandfather comment. Why do you think that entirely illogical comparison has any place in this discussion? Just get the fat vaccine; duh! And there certainly weren't any fat people before late 2019! Wait, none of that's so? "Histrionics" indeed.

>You’re also ignoring that the vaccine is worse than the disease for the young and men under 40

This is a very bold claim. I roll to disbelieve! My magic charms give me a +2 to the roll. And I have darkvision.
I don't see how Georgism solves anything. You need a government to enforce taxation - said government is profiting off unimproved land. Said governments colonize and take others land with force.
The question this brings up is this: instead of making it impossible for families to establish themselves for generations, instead encourage families to think and invest long-term, without having their accumulated experience and wisdom be made meaningless by having their resources stolen from them? Encourage people to have all-around healthy, well-raised children who will (if they so choose) carry on the and develop the family project instead of being, in effect, scattered to the winds. Rather than encouraging people to start public corporations (which are, in our current system, designed to be taken out of the hands of those who build and care for them, then eventually parted out), let's find ways to incentivize families to actually invest in their children and the future, instead of simply in building wealth that will be only temporary while hoping that maybe the kids will do fine. Encourage long-term thinking, planning, and investment by taking away the fear that all this work will be taken away or have to be sold off for taxes.
That's not what Null claims, and in any case it sounds extremely unlikely that Cloudflare would attempt to justify their decision in such detail.

Are there fields (architects, engineers?) that take advantage of the the technical pen scaling? Or scanning software that is aware of the pen/paper ratios?
This seems like a great way to have some consistency in analog/digital conversions. It would be nice to have 10 years of digitized notes that all have consistent sizing after scanning.
For some non-technical users, Power Query is a better option. If your main purpose is to work with a large data set and then update a PowerBI dashboard, for example, then Power Query sounds like a perfect solution.

But what we see is that there are a bunch of reasons that these non-technical users are excited about Python specifically. Here are two examples:

1. One of the first adopters of Mito, let's call her Shelly, is helping a team of engineers build out a Salesforce dashboard to predict when customers are going to refill an order. Since the engineers don't have the business context to figure out how to make that prediction, its Shelly's job to construct the (in this case pretty simple) algorithm by querying the relevant database, figuring out which fields are accurate (there might be 5 different date fields and figuring out which one is actually when the user last placed an order isn't as easy as it sounds), and then making the prediction for each customer. Shelly then uses the Python code that Mito generates as a communication tool for the engineers. The code is an exact audit log of each transformation she made to her data in order to create the report.

2. Many of the companies that we work with have business specific metrics that they calculate, so they have an engineering team build a Python package that can easily calculate those metrics. Sometimes they will even provide boiler plate Python code snippets to interact with those packages. (In the future they'll be able to import them into Mito!). Its a win for the employees who can rely on the code snippets instead of calculating the metrics manually, and its a win for the engineers who can write Python code instead of M.

The last thing I'll say is that companies are moving to Python because of the openeness and robustness of the Python ecosystem. They are power users of packages like Voila, Plotly. Having employees work in Python opens up a ton of doors for how companies can support them.

Your idea about expressing logic in excel and generating the equivalent code has merit too for a different user base. Let us know when you build it, excited to check it out!
Most regions have good infrastructure for their local endemic disasters. If you live in areas with relatively frequent hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc there are plans and infrastructure in place to deal with them when they occur. Where I live in the US we have visible disaster plans for lahars[0] because there is a severe lahar risk; most Americans don't even know what a lahar is.

Parts of the US where heatwaves are endemic rarely have serious issues with heatwaves, they've learned how to live with them for a long time and the local customs and infrastructure reflect that. Like in Europe, much of the human hazard from heatwaves is in areas where extreme heat is rare such that appropriate infrastructure has never been needed. As an example from the US, the extreme heatwave that hit the Pacific Northwest in 2021 was bad in part because it is a rare region of the US where few people have air-conditioning. It is a wealthy region with some of the cheapest electricity in the world so lack of air-conditioning was not a failure of infrastructure or spending, there was no good reason to invest in it.

If you live in a place that has regular heatwaves, no one needs to "retreat to bunkers". Almost all of the infrastructure is built with the assumption that heatwaves will occur at relatively low cost. The only implication for infrastructure is that it can stress power generation and distribution systems, but that isn't specific to heatwaves or natural disasters generally.

In theory I agree with the OP, but I am having the reverse problem now. My startup has an equal pay policy. I live in San Francisco and have a San Francisco salary, but cannot afford a home here without saving for many years and having a very lean budget.

Next to me are colleagues who live in countries where the cost of living is a fraction. They tell stories of the first and second homes they are building and how they agree with the pay policy. They are living a quality of life that is beyond anything I can have while living in San Francisco, and I partly resent this.

Within the company, people have and are still moving to low cost areas, because the company is fully remote. I however am married and my partner cannot as easily be relocated.

I don't give my company name here because it is very small with only a fraction or employees living in San Francisco.
I have to imagine that a smaller torqueband but more gears would make for a more efficient electric vehicle.

The torque from 1000lbs of Li-ion cannot be denied, but are there other options here? Less torque, fewer batteries, less range but still the acceptable acceleration and cruising speeds?

The high end Porches Tycan proved that two gears is a good design, even at the highest end of performance, for example. Lower performance vehicles probably have more opportunity to use gears?
It’s a failure of education, and in many ways a deliberate one because of the primacy of industry over the past century.
Ah sorry. I guess I don't understand what you are looking for.
> COBRA can also be really expensive.

But... it's not "expensive"... It's just the price. And many people never see or think about it because "employer" pays some/most/all of it. Until... you don't have an employer. Then it seems "expensive". But... the price has always been there, we just don't see it sometimes.

Employer-involved insurance is one of the biggest things slowing social progress, imo.
Battery electrochemistry still has headroom, but solar is already approaching the Shockley–Queisser ceiling, which limits efficiency at about 30% for single junction and 50% for multiple junction devices. That's the absolute conversion limit, similar to the Carnot limit for thermal engines.

So if you can buy today cells that are 18-20% efficient, you should not expect dramatic improvements in the next decades, only very gradual. The cost will continue to drop, so given the huge areas available for solar, the potential is still huge.
Should that matter much? Looking on their website it looks like they sell feeds for all sorts of animals, not just ones producing red meat. For most people, "not eating red meat" means eating pork/chicken not going vegan, so they don't stand to gain much from this study.

And severely limited at the same time, to the point where people, IMO understandably, prefer to use 100% free alternatives rather than write about the subpar experience available with "community licenses". Free versions of both LW and ACL have major hurdles that are getting in the way of developing software on these implementations.
First off - my bad, I mentioned the Moto G6 above, but I actually have a G8 (the G6 was my previous phone). However, of course the same things apply.

> phones had random 25 pin connectors

Well, that's not exactly how things worked. Back when phones used feature connectors, you'd be searching for cables for the specific phone type. Video was... almost never a thing, but let's take a data cable instead like you mention, for using the phone as a modem. Or a firmware update cable. So you were searching for, say, a "Nokia 9210 Data / Firmware Cable". If you found one, you were mostly certain that it worked. There were mobile shops that specialized in this stuff. Every large city had at least one store with a firmware unlock service, and they could tell you the exact cable you needed for firmware, or for modem data. The best I can look for right now is an Android-compatible USB C Dock with HDMI output. Hard to tell if it's any good.

I still don't know how int_19h knows definitively that the phone doesn't support video output.

And then, what about Ethernet? I've tried a few different solutions: this specific dock, then a USB C to USB A converter with an ancient 10/100 interface that even works on the Wii U and has been in the Linux kernel for over a decade, and also using that interface plugged into the USB C dock.

And finally, I also tried some simple keyboards - both with that USB C dock, and with C-A converters. None of them worked. Why wouldn't basic USB functionality like keyboards not work? Has the Android kernel dropped support for such exotic devices as keyboards? It does support bluetooth keyboards; and it's not like the kernel is wanting for memory with 4GB of RAM, or whatever is left of it after all the spyware Android devices run whether I want them to or not.
This comment is ignorant of a lot of things.

> That's a very bold stroke, especially since most of human history is unwritten and not well understood.

You don’t need written records to determine the broad strokes of early human diets. That’s an archeological problem for biological anthropologist who in fact have determined that meat entered the human diet around the time our brains grew substantially in size. There’s also cave paintings showing hunting of large animals by early humans.

The very fact that humans universally (barring medical exception) even have the capacity to digest meat is already indicative of this.

> whatever was locally available until the last 100 years

Agriculture was not invented 100 years ago. This is off by at least 2 orders of magnitude. Cows and goats were also domesticated over a very long period of time.

Perhaps by “locally available” you meant “locally available by means of farming and herding because humans lived near those”?
I'm the target audience for this. I know it makes no sense, to make the car slower "shifting" through the gears, but for many of us it's the feel of full control over the car's mechanics. It's similar to the appeal of motorcycles, we ride them because every body input you make matters to the control of it. With all this said, there will still be a market for ICE manual cars for many years to come, it'll sure become more expensive to own one but I guess that'll be the price we'll have to pay. I also don't think the desire to continue driving manual will die off, anecdotally, I was talking to my 10-year old nephew and he seemed enamored with the idea of driving manual especially interested in early 2000s JDM cars, this was a really shock to me tbh I would of never thought this will be relevant with today's youth.
