This type of thing is common in all industries - so much so that one way that railroad workers would strike is to “work to rule” - follow every single safety regulation to a T causing productivity to plummet.

Many safety rules can be summed up as “don’t be a dumbass” but trying to proceduralize that can be difficult.

It’s part of the reason nuclear stuff is so expensive - you have to work to rule every single time.

Great to see a dev with so many years of experience. What you attribute to your success? (In addition to keeping your tech stack fresh)
I'm not sure what your point is? They still sold books and only books at the time
Well, yeah, because demand is still relatively low. Availability like that would change if/when EVs are more widely adopted.
I didn’t use any expletives, abbreviated or otherwise [1], nor do I want to insult you.

> EVs are definitely going to remain a first-world item for my lifetime at least.

The largest EV market right now is China, and in India and other similar markets battery-swapping auto-rickshaws are increasingly common.

EVs in developing markets won't look like EVs in North America and Europe, but that doesn't mean that they won't be massive EV markets.
Ultralight dev here-- I've been on the dev-tool side of this equation for the past 13 years so I have insight into why people are actually using HTML/JS/CSS over proprietary UI tech on the desktop.

It's several things-- tons of mature web development frameworks and ecosystems (React, Angular, et al), tons of developers with experience creating and maintaining them, and tons of debugging and support resources (Chrome Dev Tools, Stack Overflow, etc.).

Very difficult to compete against a content creation pipeline like that-- hence why I've made it my mission to get modern HTML UI running performantly everywhere without requiring web developers to learn some new language or toolset.

Also, FWIW, Ultralight does allow you to mix both HTML and native UI (the library can paint offscreen) so you can choose where/when to use each in your app.
Salaries yes, TC no. I've started ignoring all these articles about tech compensation since it's become so predictable that they are simply using salary which may be reasonable for the median dev but in HN world a lot of comp is equity based. It seems like compensation is significantly depressed with the most lucrative employers retreating from the hiring market.
Wow fascinating company I haven't heard of before. That definitely helps a ton if the recovery rate is good enough.
And how many others can charge when you charge? 5? Or fewer?
If a scientist wanted to commit suicide, couldn’t he trigger the criticality event just to see what it’s like and then promptly kill himself off afterward before radiation effects set in? Or is the agony instant?

That point would be stronger if Rust were showing up as faster than C compilers on this axis, and it isn't. In point of fact aliasing rules (which is what C calls the problem you're talking about) are very well travelled ground and the benefits and risks of -fno-strict-aliasing are well understood. Static analysis tools are in fact extremely good at this particular area of the problem. And of course at the level of emerging technologies, LTO makes this largely a non-issue because the compiler is able to see the aliasing opportunities at the level of global analysis. It doesn't need the programmer or the compiler to promise it an access is unaliased, it can just check and see.
I've been playing around with OBS and Zoom lately as well. Prior to a meeting, I pre-recorded a couple of minutes of me watching the screen. I used OBS to switch to this looped pre-recording whenever I wanted to eat/drink or get out of my chair to stretch etc during the meeting.

It was mostly just to satisfy my curiousity on how difficult it is to do (it's easy) and whether anyone noticed the looping (no one did). But what I did find interesting was that I found it immensely 'freeing' to be able to participate in the meeting without being observed - there is something about knowing I'm on camera that I find taxing that I don't get in a face to face meeting.
Conversely, you can lose 50% market share per year indefinitely. Just ask Blackberry.

The top selling EV in China only costs $4k. There is absolutely no reason an electric vehicle should cost more than a typical gas powered car.

Counterpoint is that it's easy to dismiss a requirement when one doesn't fully understand it. Sometimes that takes less work to dismiss it rather than spending the effort to remove one's ignorance. Particularly in safety critical systems, it's probably prudent to assume there is a good intent first.
I have one of these sitting on the bench and have dreamt for a while of setting up some kind of BBS on 70cm. Life has perpetually gotten in the way though. Also… I’m a long long way from the Bay Area :). 73 VE5AJA

Interesting, wonder what the hard limits on voltage are? 350 amps @ 1000V must have one hell of a cord! Would be interesting to see what this station looks like.
Or the compromise (or cooperation) of a few of the software supply chain components used to program the chipset of the voting machines. Or the development machines used to write and upload the voting software. Or the foundry used to cast the chips. You think if e.g. China devoted ~5 years of their best hacking group's time to this, they couldn't do it? Because that's a very low price to pay to sway the election of a country such as Brazil.

> They are audited by members of parties and the civil society.

Audited how? Do they plug in a USB, download the software, and verify that it matches the (hopefully open-source, ideally formally verified) code it's supposed to be running?

Let's say it matches - how can they trust that the code the USB port emitted, is what is actually running?
TDD applied twice is Red, Green, Refactor, Red, Green, Refactor.

Same, it shut down hard here, but 2022 has been pretty normal outside of WFH and lingering social impacts. Since the lift of mask mandates for airplanes, very few people wear masks. We completely dropped the charade of wearing masks while walking to tables, which was in full force just a year ago.
If you ever stop learning and feel your job is tedious, move on. You are inevitably an expert at something after 16 years, and if that's a relevant technology, you're set. If it's not relevant, find something else. Your engineering experience, even if not too relevant, is valuable because it's also a process, not just an outcome, and experienced people can apply the process of engineering to anything.

25+ years in, though, while I'm still an engineer in the org chart, I'm in charge of mentoring a lot of younger engineers, and my job has turned more into keeping them from making big mistakes and helping them grow as engineers, versus producing code myself. Through them, I can get much more done in aggregate, than if I sat down and did it myself, even though I'm probably faster than any engineer that I mentor.

Given what I have done, startups are a great place to learn via trial by fire, while big companies are good places to earn some big bucks while in between cool startup jobs.
> this is a very tiny change

There! That's what I was looking for. So they were expecting a miniscule change, and instead they were pleasantly surprised by the evidence and are now expecting a very tiny change?
I suspect the navy gets away with really riding peoples asses on safety - and developing protocols and procedures and equipment that are “military grade” meaning a drunk monkey with a sledgehammer could operate it successfully.

Designing things that verify previous steps before acting on the next step is a great way to do it.
It seems theoretically sound: the profitably threshold for accidents is lower than the threshold most people are comfortable risking their lives for a job for, so a for-profit company is pressured to lower standards to the most profitable level (eg having people continue to work around a safety accident).

You can always ensure the profitable accident level stays above this with steeper penalties from regulation though.
>It's not literally just an extra engine you're carrying around, it's the whole ICE drivetrain and exhaust system: engine, starter, air intake, transmission, alternator, oil pump, fuel tank and fuel pump, gas lines, catalytic converter, muffler, all the various sensors for the engine, etc. Electric cars have none of those.

So I was an electrical engineer and designed (and hand wired) a complete drive system for an electric vehicle company. Electric car has, in some sense, all of those. It has a motor(s) instead of a starter. It has an inverter and gearbox instead of a 'transmission' [0]. It has a rectifier / charging system instead of a fuel pump. It has a DC/DC converter instead of an alternator. It has HV electrical distribution network instead of gas lines. Instead of the metals in a catalytic converter or a gas tank, you have hundreds of pounds of chemistries such as lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxide. Instead of a muffler or air intake, you have air and fluid cooling systems for the batteries. There are 'all various sensors' for battery temperature and status monitoring as well as for positioning and feedback of the motors.

My grandma gave me $7500 to buy a car so I can sell it for a profit!

-- the logic that 'because tax credits' the car didn't depreciate.

I bought my Toyota new off the lot in 2020 for $29k and Carvana offered $31k in 2022, without taxing/inflating/indebting grandma and the rest of the populace $7500.
The number of parties depends on State election law and has nothing to do with ranked choice or proportional voting. For chicagotribune.com area it is laws in Illinois which say:

- 'new political party shall become an "established political party"'

and

- Sec. 7-19. 'The primary ballot ..' shall be arranged and printed ...:

1. Designating words. At the top of the ballot "REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT"; "DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BALLOT"'

That is from
https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs5.asp?ActID=170&Ch...

It is State election law which creates the domination of the two-party major/minor system. It's simply hard-coded this way. Coders might say RTFM.
Don't be tendentious. There are obviously black-coded names, and decades of research about black-coded names.
> Keep in mind these bands are disposable. They're typically tied to a generation, a slice in time, and then they fade away.

That applies to most media. There are some art/music/games/tv/movies that stand the test of time, but that's not the rule and you can't really create assuming you're going to last forever, even if you're hot for fifteen minutes.

How many people are still doing Wordle right now? I bet it's less than 5-10% of how many people were doing it at its peak near the beginning of the year, and that was huge at the time, seemed like pretty much everyone on social media were doing it (and/or one of its variants).

For music, how many people can keep creating hits for more than a generation? Pretty much just Weird Al and Madonna, isn't it?
Could be. I ran into a number of BBSes that dropped subtle hints that they hosted stuff that was not accessible to regular users. I always had the impression that it was adult content, but it could very well have been pirated software. (These were publicly listed BBSes.)
Shifting the subsidy onto some other poor sod doesn't eliminate the depreciation. It's like saying I didn't lose money because grandma gave me $7500 to buy the car.
When you say "books like _How To Be An Antiracist_", you mean... bad books, right? Why would you expect bad-faith actors like Kendi to do better?
Type "Electrify America" into Google and hit the images tab. The majority of their 788 sites include one or more 350 kW stations. The cords are probably over an inch thick, I've never measured, but no thicker than a fuel hose for a gas pump. They're liquid cooled to carry that current without overheating.
20k? EV drivetrains are so much simpler than ICE. The fact you can buy in some market somewhere a 20k ICE car means in equivalent dollars, a 10k EV car is possible once the tech maturity of sodium ion and components and all that scaling happens.

We are so used to EV drivetrains being more expensive, we can't think of the possibility of EVs become so cheap, but I predict they will, and with sodium ion batteries at 140wh/kg coming into production next year, along with 200+ wh/kg LFP and LMFP, it's going to h ppen sooner than I would have guessed only a couple years ago.

I will agree with Toyoda that a PHEV has a functional place in the next two decades. They were one of the top PHEV companies so they probably have the platforms already, so may as well use them.

But make no mistake the arrival of usable sodium ion to me is the game changer for the mass production EV: the napkin math says that 140wh/kg cell density if it is efficiently packed (90% is current cell-to-pack expected ratio) will make a 200-300 mile car. That's no cobalt, nickel, or lithium.

And a city car only needs 150 miles of range for the "second/third world" urban centers in some teeny car.

200 wh/kg (cell) LFP/LMFP should be 300-400+ mile cars. That leaves the cobalt-nickel and whatever comes out of initial solid state into exotics, supercars, and long haul trucking.

And if those sulfur batteries papers are legit, that will also be dirt cheap and near-solid state densities.

But yeah, I think in ten years a cheapo EV will be 1/2 the cost of what a cheapo ICE will be. We'll know when the Chinese invade the US market. Luxury cars and big cars will still be dominated by equivalent doodads costs, but I think possibly in ten years the industry will hit 50% of ICE drivetrain cost.
So far I haven't gotten anything that would give me moral compunctions to ignore, thankfully!
> Everyone I met in Los Alamos had zero concerns about pollution having an impact on them.

I mean, are they wrong? By all conventional metrics, Los Alamos County is one of the healthiest counties in the country. Obviously there are major confounders, but if it doesn’t readily show in the data maybe zero concern is the right level.
Build a high yield bomb - you could probably build a relatively effective dirty bomb with the right materials and some auto springs.

“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”
> We talk about cars.

No, we're talking about batteries and charging. If you think battery tech is done evolving, wont shrink, and that "energy" and "power" are interchangeable concepts, then I don't think we can have a fruitful discussion.

> And no, you never ned 1GB of hard drive for anything that was done with computers at this time.

That was my point. Saying something wont happen based on what's happened so far is foolish.
That sounds self-inflicted then; they could have filled their library with 1,000's of games by collaborating with steam.
What do you mean by "these"? The credit default swaps? They are derivatives and they are subject to derivatives regulations, such as [1]. The Basel document [2] is a bit more readable.

In particular, the two counterparties that enter a CDS contract will need to post 2 types of margin, variation margin and initial margin. Variation margin has exactly the level that if one of the counterparties defaults, and the market does not move, the other counterparty can replace the CDS contract at no loss. The initial margin is designed to cover the replacement cost even if the market moves quite violently.

Here's a tweet [3] from March this year that states that Initial Margin across the industry has topped one trillion dollars.

If this is not to your liking, what type of regulation do you have in mind?

I like the idea of an EV, always have, even thought by age now they would be the dominant vehicle. Charging hundreds of millions of cars in the US alone overnight and short ranges compared to a gas vehicle didn't factor into my thinking until recent years.

Jay Leno has mentioned several times the numerous advantages steam and electric cars had over gas over 100 years ago but they were not enough to beat the sheer convenience of gas.

I once scoffed at the idea of a hybrid (thinking of them as a stepping stone) but today I realize they make much more sense than I realized before. Think of crossing the Mojave Desert in an EV.
I would say, to anyone who actually believes this, to get off social media and touch grass. Social media idiots have no meaningful impact on your life.
I don't think it's the same thing. That program may be cross-platform and not actually need the proprietary OS, for example. This, on the other hand, has a core dependency that is non-free.

Hasn’t Europe already experienced its lost decade?
Even this idealistic picture of developed countries transitioning to EVs is unrealistic.

Most EV's are charged from a grid that's still burning oil/gas/coal to power them. We haven't achieved much of anything in those areas.

The batteries simply DO NOT EXIST to enable a grid that is based off of renewables - or even half off renewables.
There will be some improvement in batteries but the big win will be in EVs that can get 10 or more miles per kWh because then you can get up to 40 miles of range on a sunny day.

The Porsche Taycan only gets 2 miles per kWh.
The Tesla Model 3 gets 5 miles per kWh.
The Aptera gets 10 miles per kWh.

I use the example because I can speak to my and my family's experience directly.

I think life or death -- the prospect of starving or being homeless without recourse from relations or from society -- is different from the prospect of being stressed for other reasons. That people mistake more benign stressors for "life or death" these days is the hypothesis I am proffering.

And while I expect that you intend it as a dunk, I'll grant the point unreservedly: I very much _do_ think people were tougher in previous eras. When I read about the lives of our predecessors, and what they endured and how they bore up under it, I feel disgusted with myself. They were not perfect moral gods, but tougher? Jesus, yes.

What advantages do hydrogen cars have over ICE or electric? I know very little about them. Electric, optimistically, is cost effective (especially if you have solar panels) and convenient. ICE at least has industry momentum going for it. But Hydrogen? Unsarcastically, why?
