That doesn't sound right. I drove from Sacramento (elevation 30 feet), over the sierras (7200 feet or so), across many mountain ranges in Nevada, through Utah, and through most of Wyoming and came nowhere close to running out of power.

Literally I packed the car, hit the listen button, and said "Navigate to Denver, Colorado".

Is any route from Texas to Colorado really have less charging than Wyoming (the least populated state)? I found 20+ superchargers between Houston and Denver. Even with a family of 3, dog, packed car, and bikes on the back I had no problems with Sacramento -> Denver, only in the most deserted stretches of Wyoming did I need anywhere close to half of my range.

I looked for the sparsest charging and it does indeed look like it's Wyoming, it's 360 miles from east to west and has 5 super chargers on 80. Judging by eye the longest stretch is Rock Springs WY to Rawlins WY and that's only 108 miles.

Even on Secondary highways that don't show up at the state level maps there's charger stations in Wichita Falls TX, Childress TX, Amarillo TX, Clayton NM, and Trinidad CO. From there Salida (West 147 miles) or Colorado Springs (North 130 miles) will get you to the rest of the state. Salida to Montrose (130 miles) gets you to west slope. Keep in mind elevation doesn't hurt that much, and while I have gotten a bit worried when I'm at under 60% climbing to a 14k foot peak, I was very surprised to end up with over 80% once I descended again.

This is all just using the Telsa charging network, there's many other places to charge as well.

Former TIer here.

The calculator business is a tiny part of TI. Wikipedia says less than 3% of revenue; that seems high to me but I don't remember a specific number from my time there. I can assure you, though, that approximately all of TI's engineering and business efforts are directed towards semiconductors. You will note, for instance, that the words "calculator" and "education" do not even appear in their second quarter financial statement[1], while the words "analog" and "embedded processing" do.

Spatial navigation is a feature I really do miss. I don't think any other browser supports this. It made keyboard-based browsing possible without resorting to stuff like hit-a-hint. You could just hit Shift+Arrow Key (which I mapped to the home row) and select a the nearest link (or anything interactive) in that direction. I think it worked in a visual fashion so order in the DOM didn't matter at all. It behaves exactly like one would expect.
> functionality with phones, let alone be good enough to become dominant by “natural selection

Apple is at the very bottom of the list of companies that can claim to be where they are due to "natural selection".

Without the DOJ there is no Apple, they were essentially chapter 7 bankrupt and were saved by DOJ lawsuit against Microsoft.

Further what natural selection compelled Apple to kill the 3.5mm jack? As it stands a phone with a full listing price of 2000$ and you cannot listen to music while charging it. Absolute nonsense. Further nonsense is the elimination of the home button.

I don't want that kind of nonsense in my car. Maybe I'll look repetitive but BMW central wheel console is the kind of no-nonsense that is unbeaten. Physical buttons and toggles are also unbeaten.

Tesla is a projection of what an infotainment system built by Apple would look like, and it's a nightmare. There is a reason why some things are built in Detroit/Stuttgart while some things are built in California.
The sitemaps standard (if this is the basis) would need to be expanded to support additional metadata / structured data to support this idea.

1. This would be up to sites, to your point, major question would be best way to create incentives.

2. This is solvable via a number of approaches, but the search engines themselves would be mostly responsible for finding the right approach for their business. I know how I would do it.

3. Indeed, which would be the main point of this decentralization, to let search engines focus on their hardest problem.

Edit: would Kagi not benefit from having to worry about crawling / indexing sites?
I don't think so. That gets repeated a lot but I think people are just unaware of the fact that Google ads are particularly uninvasive and easy to block. If ad blockers are less capable that will only help Google's competitors, not Google. Another comment the other day confirmed that Google's ads continue to be blockable with V3.

This could change - AdSense ads could start implementing bypasses. I think that's unlikely because Google would likely end up with a few lawsuits, questions about browser monopolies, and a congressional hearing. Certainly the EU would be on their asses. One day that may change, but I don't see this move as being part of any specific plans to improve AdSense revenue.
Isn't searx what you're describing? I was running an instance for a while, and it's basically a meta search engine that has support for all kinds of providers.

There are also some web extensions available so that you can fill it with more data.

I have always done a "triage" of functionality, before starting. I call it "Front of the Box/Back of the Box/Side of the Box."

If it is important -to the end user; not the engineer-, then it gets prioritized over other functions. That is critical.

Think of a product package, sitting on a store shelf:

FRONT OF THE BOX:

This is three "Must Have" features. It correlates to the big, splashy text, on the front of a box. Without all of these, the product is a total failure.

BACK OF THE BOX:

This is four or five "Critically Important" features, that correlate to the smaller, yet still pronounced, features, listed on the back of the box.

SIDE OF THE BOX:

Everything else. Small text, on the side of the box.

When scheduling the project, it's critical to schedule Front Of The Box stuff, first, then Back of the Box, and, finally, Side of the Box.

Doesn't matter whether you are Waterfall or Agile. The important thing is to plan on implementing the "killer features," FIRST.

A lot of times, engineers want to get the difficult stuff done first (guilty as charged). This can often result in "bikeshedding" behavior, where a great deal of time is spent on stuff that isn't really relevant to the end-user.

When a project enters a "crunch phase," then it's important to start pruning. This is not popular. We need to remove feature development from the schedule ahead of us.

Since we have already implemented the important stuff, we will be pruning stuff that the end-users of our product don't really care about.

Also, I run what I call "Constant Beta." I get the project to an end-user-runable state, as soon as possible, even if feature incomplete. This gets me valuable feedback, and the important stuff (Front of the Box, first!) gets more testing than anything else in the product, since stakeholders are testing it, from the start.

This often results in pivots during development (as opposed to a janky MVP, destroying your brand).

But I have found many corporations won't do it that way. I had to wait until I was working for myself to do it.

Works a treat.
While we have Spotify's ear: why is the default behavior to clear my queue if I play another song? It's especially an issue on mobile, where viewing a playlist or album means that an errant tap almost anywhere on the screen undoes all of my queueing so far. Just a toast with an 'Undo' button whenever the queue is erased would be plenty.
Your idea is comes from a good place, but identity theft is already a thing in the real world. Digital identities would also be very stealable. This malware more harmful in the long term. Imagine if your Twitter gets hacked and your digital identity makes it so your Gmail gets blocked.

Similar, the internet is already very difficult for the people with limited means. This would make it even harder.
I want to vouch for this 100%.

Personally, on my team we use Pivotal Tracker - it tracks our velocity for us and automatically "guesses" our release date based on our velocity. If we aren't happy with the projected date, we reduce scope aggressively. Clients see our backlog and can see when things change. Most of our project planning is completely automated by Tracker - we just create tasks and point them. It's the only thing that has been even remotely successful for us. If I had to give up Tracker for Jira I would quit my job.
The above actually defines the scope very well. There is lot more to be built upon it, but it is not what the project is trying to solve.
Oof, half hour stand-ups.

I see what you are saying though, I think my definition of 'collaboration' didn't immediately translate into your head. When I think of check-in, I just think of taking attendance. Who is at work today? In two or three sentences, what are you working on today? This way, the PM knows who has a little bit more slack in their day, and who can be assigned to triage a bug that pops out of nowhere, for example. I work at a smaller company, where product engineering goes hand in hand with fixing bugs. They aren't different teams.

'Collaboration' implies some sort of positive activity, that creates or generates something, whereas I think of a standup as simple a check-in exercise that provides a mechanism for people to notify someone 'hey, I need to discuss this with you, let's stay on after the call'.

My definitions are my own though, and probably pretty weird. I've tried to internalize the spirit of Agile, and through that internalization my main conclusion with a standup is that it's just a way to check in, and springboard into deeper triage conversations while allowing product management to understand what is being worked on.

Well, just this past Sunday I literally had a random drunk driver pull onto my private property and proceed to wreck their vehicle in my front yard. While the interlock would have kept them from starting the vehicle originally, the stupidity from drunkenness is still present regardless of location or speed. I strongly disagree with interlocks (someone could have just cleaned their hands with alcohol sanitizer, or someone spilled a beer on their hand or on the sensor itself), but I would be more amenable to something that could be overridden immediately but with some warning notification lights on the vehicle with laws stating you will be pulled over for inspection and you(not insurance) will be responsible for any damages or accidents you caused if proven drunk driving after disabling the lock.
After reading this message I want you to write an email to say that you quit effective immediately. Never talk to these people again, it's important that you cut these unproductive, mentally draining relationships as soon as possible.

If you don't do it as soon as you can it will take a mental toll on you (self-esteem issues e.g. how could I be so gullible etc...) In a sense you already know, but you are still lingering for the very low probability of high return, equivalent to betting prime Tyson losing against Hasbulla, it could technically happen but it will not. It's time to start ONLY listening to that part that ALREADY KNOWS and follow its advice.

QUIT, bitch
Not enough of them to put off many employers from doing the things that they could be sued for, it would seem given how many companies behave.

If the cost of being successfully sued is significant but survivable, and the chance of someone bothering and succeeding is small, then they often feel that they can go right ahead and do what they want relatively safely. Note that “and succeeding” includes not being intimidated into backing down, or conned/cajoled/intimidated into taking a small hush payment instead – once someone sets out to sue the employer still have options to try significantly minimise the potential damage.
What if I just want something pretty similar but not necessarily the exact image. Maybe there could be a way to find a somewhat similar text prompt as a starting point, and then add in some compressed information to adjust the prompt output to be just a bit closer to the original?
I'm pretty sure we tried that way back in the day with <meta name="keywords" content="spam spam spam spam">. People would stuff that with every word in the english language. Older search engines that used those keywords returned some pretty awful results. You simply can't trust sites, who have a strong incentive to get to the top of SEO rankings, to not lie. In fact, given at least one of your competitors will stuff their keywords to get to the top you'll have to do it too. It would become an arms race for who can stuff the most garbage into their indexes to "win". It just doesn't work.

All search engines that attempt to be useful will have to filter out the junk. You just have to trust that the search engine you are using isn't withholding results from you that it considers "bad" (eg: "misinformation" (i.e. stuff somebody disagrees with)).

And to me, that is the crux of the debate really. Nobody wants spam for search results--everybody agrees with that and there is no real debate about filtering that crap out. The argument really is should a very large company that has a huge market share get to decide what constitutes "fact" and what is "misinformation". Based on 2.5 years of experience so far, what was once deemed "misinformation" has a sneaky way of becoming "factual information". Labeling and hiding "misinformation" because it goes against some narrative pushed by incredibly powerful entities is very scary and there was a hell of a lot of exactly that going on during this covid crap.

I used to fall on the side of "private companies can do whatever they want" but now I'm not so sure. Companies like FB, Twitter or Google play a huge role in shaping politics and society. I'm no longer convinced it is okay to let them play the role of "fact checker" or anything like that. Filtering spam is one thing, but hiding "misinformation" is entirely different.

> And I don't know how to express the correct solution (i.e. where we actually assert that A and B are object types).

You can do this:

function merge<
A extends Record<string, unknown>,
B extends Record<string, unknown>
>(a: A, b: B): A & B {
return { ...a, ...b }
}

const result = merge({ a: 1 }, { b: 2 })

> If you want to drive, and have fun, we'll have racetracks for that.

I wonder if someone made a research about likeness of reckless driving vs closeness to race track.

Like, if it was $5 to have a lap nearby (as in "not have to reserve day to go to track and have a track day") I wonder how less of dumbass driving we'd had on the streets...
And if you want to hear what morse telegraphy sounds like in 2022, you're in luck because it's still alive and well. Simply tune your shortwave radio to 7.028-7.045 or 14.028-14.045 MHz every Wednesday between 1300-1400z & 1900-2000z, and every Thursday at 0300-0400z & 0700–0800z. Or, try 7.050-7.060 MHz any evening to listen for operators using straight keys.

If you do not have a shortwave radio there are plenty online at http://websdr.org/.
Which is funny because that’s exactly what they did, by all accounts!

I feel like every recommendation service works this way - YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, etc. Whatever the last thing you looked at becomes your entire life's mission according to these systems. When I think about all the buzz words around machine learning, ai, and so on, it's completely incompatible with the reality I see. What exactly are all these engineering teams doing just to end up with this result?

Amazon might be the worst example though. Buy something like a bike rack for your vehicle and Amazon will recommend nothing but other bike racks... as though I need dozens of them for one car.

The selective pressures of your model reward dishonesty (under promise over deliver / make estimates as high as possible to mitigate downside and reduce pressure). Why is that making your team better?
There are two general critical approaches to a spook agency (thank you Elizabeth I):

One is that they are fundamentally evil prone, by very nature of the task. This is your take. It's a plebe take. (I'm a plebe so no offense intended! /g)

The other is that the power elite in a society typically reach an understanding on how things are done. And CIA basically is breaking that understanding, via undisclosed 'scope creep' lol. That is Truman's criticism. He wants the deadly tools of state under strict control of constitutional regime, not some Yale schoolboy network of ancient families.

> That just lives AMD as competition, and only if RDNA 3 comes out a winner.

The RX 6650 XT is in the same price bracket as the RTX 3050. I'm not sure they would be considered competition even if RX 77whatever were in the same price bracket as the RTX 3050. Nvidia just seems to push just the right buttons on the software features which AMD just cannot seem to get.

Don't get me wrong. I would love AMD to be competition. They should frankly team up with Intel. AMD has the hardware and Intel can provide the software. Don't see that happening considering AMD went alone on their FP8 proposal and everyone else joined up on a separate paper.
Yah I think there’s something to that. There’s this age delta in dating that’s a huge exaggerated deal if someone dates another a year or two older/younger in age cohort schools. There’s almost this disbelief and shock from the peers when they witnessed this narrow age gap being crossed. I used to always attribute the shock to the larger percent differences in age that are calculated in the younger years where a year relative to 10 or 14 is a much larger percentage of one’s age than at 26 or 35 and beyond. Come to think about it yah what was that shock all about and I think I agree that it probably has carried over in weird baggage into the adult age ranges. There’s like a weird mental adjustment upon first finding out about age differences in a given couple from split second shock and disbelief to like “oh yah that’s not that far apart anymore”. The problem with the age cohort model is that all people are assumed to develop at the same rate uniformly. That’s probably not true.

Who deliberately did not stay in academia to do it.
More to the point, a successful team building a product like a search engine requires roles that academia doesn't really have.

Who is doing product management?

Who is doing product marketing?

etc

This is all applied engineering at this point, not R&D. How does it at all fit into academia's strong suit?
Sure, but that's not what you said. If what you meant is that there is no one that can read anh more or less reasonably written code in C++, then I believe you'd be wrong.
> It’s a weird thing that the company that made iPods for a few years defined that term and we have gone with it since.

Apple didn't coin the term. People started using the word in 2004, but iTunes didn't have podcast support until 2005.
What's the point of a federated search engine? At the end of the day most nodes will end up implementing the same regulations/censorship with development driven primarily by a few. It's like ethereum vs ethereum classic all over again. If the EU or the developers' respective governments demand a censorship or forgetting feature to be implemented, it's not like the federated nature would matter. An open source search index is useful, a search engine that can be easily self hosted is also useful. But building a search engine as a federated system is a gimmick with no significant value.

Do you see any major Mastodon nodes interfacing with Truth Social or Gab? I certainly don't. If federation barely works for a social media app, I fail to see how it would even matter for a search engine.
I could completely understand why Google would not want such a feature in your product for Business reasons.

But if Google would actually act on that desire, they're so far into antitrust territory they'll never find their way out on their own. We can only hope that some of those teeth might have grown back.
Yeah, I plan to eventually, for now you can at least copy/paste the text out of TaskTXT. You get all the same data that way, except maybe 'created at' and 'updated at' timestamps :)
Absolutely. Circa 1900, the delay from a major event occurring in New Zealand, and newspapers carrying the story in London, could be as little as a few hours. And the 24 hour news cycle was born. The revolution wasn't just for the newspapers, either. Telegraphy meant you could sell your ship's cargo at the destination port before you even arrived! No more prices always two weeks out of date. And so the modern supply chain was born, too. (As I understand it, that economic force, more than anything else, is what really financed the first transatlantic cables.)
Might as well ask here. On our teams, we have the occasional developer that is insistent on using Typescript in an OO fashion. This has always struck me as square peg round hole. Even though I come from an OO background, Typescript strict settings really seem to push me in a direction of using interfaces and types for type signatures, and almost never classes, subclasses, instantiated objects. I don't have a very good answer for "yeah, but what about dependency injection"? though. Any thoughts from anyone?
Yes, just like you can already access it from multiple threads in the same interpreter right now.
