> You never made it clear that was your problem with it.

Just to be clear, the problem was not with my intuition about temperature. The problem was trying to put toghether

"all those configurations with no particles near the thermometer -which may be very concentrated or not at all- have the same entropy"

and

"the entropy is lower the more concentrated the particles".

For example I wrote two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33206422

"In every single initial configuration the particles will be at some distance from the thermometer and will cause it to read 0 according to you reasoning (until some time passes). I guess they all correspond to the same "absolute zero macrostate".
What I still don't see is how do you calculate the entropy using Gibbs entropy formula in such a way that the entropy is lower or higher for some initial configuration depending on the position of the particles."

Or somewhere up this thread I said very clearly "The balls don’t touch the thermometer in either case. You seemed to imply that the higher concentration means a different macrostate with lower entropy."

and you insisted that "Yes. The higher concentration has a lower probability of occurring. And occupies a different temperature reading on the thermometer. Each temperature reading is a different macrostate."

It's not my fault that you insisted that the higher concentration has a lower probability of occurring and occupies a different temperature reading on the thermometer even when I was clearly talking about what you say is the same macrostate with the same temperature.

> It’s a systemic failure of the entire company, and it reflects negatively on all of us.

Some of us knowingly work for organizations that, in the aggregate, are crap.

We stay and do the best we can.

If somebody put that bullcrap of fixing our entire system on me, I'd laugh. Pretend you did that to me -- I would think that you have a poor understanding of the systemic issues causing the problems that bother you.

To me there isn't a clear line from "present" to "desirable future", and simplistic approaches ("antitrust disassemble google") to complex problems aren't actually going to work (all IMO).

Sometimes you do the best you can, help the people you can help, and feel sorry for the rest... but leaving isn't going to make it better, it's going to make it worse, because your work is above average.

Actually, I guess the parent knows this since the are still working in the automobile industry but for others - perhaps what's needed is just a thicker hide, and a willingness to say "yep, it's gonna get killed at some point, good thing we MADE IT OPEN SOURCE so others can carry it forward."
I’d imagine idiomatic use of macros.
We won't ask them
It seems absurd to me that they'd judge the success of public transit as when the property values go up, rather than whether people are riding it and using it. We should build public transit because it's an improvement on quality of life for the community, not because people who don't live there will see a return on investment.

Housing prices will always be a bubble, as long as they're so detached and distant from the communities they're trying to build.
My usual project stack is React Native (+React Native Web) to cover iOS/Android/Windows/Mac/Web all in one repo, with serverless functions (Workers/C@E/etc) on the API side in another, and with shared types between the two as a third.

However I have different business goals where I can actually take some time to choose a non-TS stack...

... but unfortunately with those kind of goals/restrictions the choices aren't really there, afaik.

On the client-side, you have Flutter, which is cool enough (No JS, everything in a canvas), but I'm not Dart's biggest fan, and there's no Dart WASM target yet to be able to write in one language for both (and share types).

On the server-side, most cloud companies only support Javascript + Rust + WASM, and WASM just isn't mature enough yet where it's not a total pain to work with (I think it'll get there at some point though)

So I'm left pretty much where you are, my last and only hope is a Typescript monorepo.
And today, Apple still caters to that market, only now the yuppies are from Silicon Valley or work in tech.
Who cares? Why are people so protective of Tesla?
Reading experience is pretty bad, and many authors on Medium use shady techniques and clickbaity titles to drive traffic to their articles.
> If the competitors never meet or agree on anything, is it still illegal?

No idea how the laws were written, but the vast majority were conceived before modern big data systems were possible, and even today most regulators are unprepared for arguments like this (from the article):

> Using software like YieldStar is “taking what we used to do manually on a yellow pad and calling people on the phone and putting it on a codified system where you take the errors out of the pricing,” he said.

Modern big data and ML capabilities mean that not only is the human removed from the details of the process, but even understanding the mechanics and relative weight of different inputs becomes all but impossible. Large-scale human-based processes can still feel opaque and arbitrary from the outside, but at least there are entry points for human empathy and (more importantly) accountability.

As we saw in the 2008 financial crisis, it's a very dangerous state of affairs when the risks and rewards of financial innovation are decoupled across different parties by means of opaque and unintelligible instruments. Computers are not the same as paper.
The title phrasing was a solid omen for what's the come.

I guess the term "clickbait" is too harsh these days.
But your bulleted list is an incorrect entailment of what "a function at its core" means wrt OP, Elm, or Bernhardt's talk, so it seems more like you're reacting to your own reductio of what that quote could entail.

You haven't explained what is wrong with using a pure function to model state changes in an application. To do so, I think you'd also have to contend with the fact that a solution like Elm works quite well in practice.
Maybe I've been spending too much time with the state monad, but that still sounds like a function to me. The fact that the DB contents get passed in implicitly as part of the context of a Rails app does not change that.
I worked at Ab Initio for two years before I left about a year ago. It is the successor to Thinking Machines that is referenced by the article but not mentioned by name. Today, Ab Initio is wildly successful but nobody knows about it because that’s how Sheryl has engineered both the internal and external culture of the company. The paranoia and bureaucracy the article discusses are very much alive and well at Ab Initio. But so are Sheryl’s culinary taste and aesthetics.

Sadly, the Ab Initio Wikipedia section that discusses its Thinking Machines connection (no pun intended) has been scrubbed recently. I don’t know if that’s because the company’s current culture is too reminiscent of the past or just an attempt at rebranding.

Ab Initio is a great tech company and I would recommend people to check it out (unfortunately you cannot apply there directly; they have a way of finding people). I left because it wasn’t the right place for me.

No, batteries don't just burn. There are many different battery formulations, and most of them do not burn when they get too hot.

Yes, the most popular battery recipe for EVs today is one that burns, but "Batteries burn. They just do." is a poor generalization.
I always run into this problem with literal minded people on HN. They are literally not the same, but they are not completely different. They're both dangerous car events occurring due to a natural disaster.
Insurance companies do actually do reconnaissance occasionally; my parents had their homeowners insurance cancelled this way.

More commonly, they will deny a claim if, during the claims process, they found there was an EV in the parking lot at the time of the loss, even if the EV isn't related to the loss. Friend of mine is an insurance adjuster and he says he denies claims all the time when he finds out people were violating their policy terms at the time of the loss.

Read your insurance policies, people.
It used to be true that Medium gave you exposure much like TikTok does it nowadays where you post* a video and it's instantly put in front of thousands of people. Medium had great network effects, but today you can even rank lower.

Also, once you post on Medium, that content is theirs to use freely.

My advice is for you to use your own blog. It's harder to build traffic that way, but all of these traffic is yours. In my opinion, a blog well put together is far better that Medium or any similar 3rd party blogging platform.

You may not have the same network effects starting out, but that traffic is yours to keep.

EDIT: Clarity.
So using your same rhetorical style, let me respond:

- While the error rate of memory is "low" (however you define that to mean), it is not zero, so the risk of memory errors persists.

- A machine without ECC memory has no reliable way to detect memory errors without some type of external diagnostic.

- While a memory test can (hopefully) detect faulty memory, it takes the computer out of operation for however long the test is run, and even then, it's simply a point-in-time test. It cannot detect memory errors that happened in the past, or that will happen in the future once the test has ended.

- ECC provides a mechanism to reliable detect memory errors as they occur, continuously, while the machine is running and performing useful work.

- While many memory manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on their memory modules, they cannot possibly warrant against data corruption and malfunctions caused by memory errors, which can have a much higher cost to the user than the modules themselves (and would almost certainly be more than the BOM cost difference between ECC and non-ECC modules).

- ECC has been cited by Microsoft and Linus Torvalds as desirable and something that should be broadly adopted, and ECC is commonly found in a wide variety of memory products (e.g., caches and solid state storage), with the glaring exception of main memory on consumer PC hardware.

- While ECC does cost more (all else being equal), the side-band ECC being discussed is the same effective speed as non-ECC memory. The overhead of ECC is canceled out by the ECC DIMM's extra capacity and bandwidth relative to the non-ECC DIMM.
One key difference (at least for some) is that the Infinite Noise project uses a completely hardware-defined USB chip[1], which has been decapped. Thus you could in theory buy a batch, decap a random selection and visually inspect to verify that it matches the reference.

The OneRNG uses a more regular SoC, which is theoretically susceptible to supply chain issues like fakes or deliberate tampering. To their credit, they do mention this:

There is one complex chip on the OneRNG which cannot be verified by eye. The CC2531 SoC (from Texas Instruments) is small, and it is theoretically possible that the chip fitted to your device has been tampered with or even been outright substituted for an alternative before you received your device.

Energy Efficiency? (In terms of the amount of the stored energy put into the car that actually goes towards spinning wheels and not making loud noises and lots of heat)

Electrical energy can be renewable generated without carbon emission unlike hydrocarbon energy?

Oh and better acceleration and handling in my experience.

Early cars were also dangerous death traps, and modern ICE cars can't just drive away after being submerged either. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater; There is work to be done to mitigate water shorts of completely submerged batteries but this seems like an edge case to fix not a reason to throw out the idea of electric cars.
Were tissues are controversial product when they first came out? On many Tiktoks I see where someone is discussing their Tesla people make a large number of negative remarks unrelated to the video. Because of this when I see an article using "Tesla" for an issue that all EVs face I'm suspicious.
I do think there is patient tracking after the fact, and that the reason for exemption is examined.

>Do you sincerely think the EU would keep a drug available for common use if everyone who took it died?

No, but this is the type of data the FDA will collect and verify. It is not an approved product so they don't have this data tracking on it like they would for a normal product.

I guess I dont think your central point is credible. You dont think that a form can be examined to see if it has a doctors approval and valid need within 72 hours?

You can't reasonably compare a housing vacancy tax with a hyperbolic straw man argument of a theater. It's not a similar phenomena at all, because it doesn't happen.
From the articles linked throughout this thread there were two EV fires during Ian and none of them reported on the brand of the car that caught fire. Why harp on a company that has 0 implied involvement, besides by being the company that originally brought the technology to market?
The number of routes is bounded by the number of drivers you hire, all of whom draw an annual salary, and who operate rolling stock that is bought and fueled multiple times on a daily basis.

For each of those you have to pay a voice artist to say the name of the service N times for the N types of notable announcement. Once a season. It’s nothing.

As well as that, factor in the number of passengers who will listen to these announcements, and think about the impact getting the announcement perfect instead of just done. It really is the sort of thing worth getting right.

But yes, you will probably have one naive engineer in the middle of all this saying “repetition is Bad(tm) so let’s factor it apart and build it programmatically!” oblivious to the whole system.
Alright, I'm awake now.

I looked over what I wrote. I think was doing too much for dramatic effect.

The history in this thread is excellent. I don't have much to add but out of either narcissism or obligation I will (I wonder if they are related) and with it open a new can of worms, so let's go

if someone was to run Lloyd's algorithm on tech companies they'd probably, with the right feature selection find nice Gaussian blobs around a number of once great companies who faltered. For example, RIM, Palm, DEC, Burroughs, Commodore, SGI and Sun. I think a pithy ~100 word description could describe them all:
"Excellent teams blindsiding the world with visionary products that crash through material reality with the human spirit of creativity who are not able to stabilize the fragile chemical interplay between market, money, magic and mind. Delays and disappointments lead to disasters and desertion as the dreams turn into nightmares. The talent atrophies and the culture grows bitter. Plans for the future are replaced with the nostalgia of the past as the once great company grasps in futility at trying to reconstruct the fleeting world that once was but can increasingly never be again."

This was also Apple's trajectory in the late 90s. The confluence of factors that led to its demise and rise were many and extraordinary. The MSFT influx is in my mind the most memorable. Apple was definitely in survival/death mode and could have just coasted and rode to the end until they got snatched up by someone like say, counterfactually now, Adobe in say 2003. They'd be another company on that pile of once great machines of the mighty who faltered.

I should probably disclose I've never liked their products. I've got an obscure collection too; a magic link, newton, nextstation - I had a 1983 pre-production mac, early snow-white design language hardware - I've never worked there but I think I have pretty deep exposure to them and I've always found their stuff to be overpriced shoddy ostentatious appliances.

And that's enough gasoline on this fire from me.

I'd speculate this is part of an "Opposition research" move by a political party that might benefit.

The extreme lengths that these people seem to have gone to is shocking. Whatever it is, FB has the evidence on their servers as Alex Stamos points out since they created a Workspace instance.
POSIX.2 wasn't a standard until 1992. Perhaps it's the standard at fault for specifying the -E and -F flags rather than specifying the tools that existed in v7 in 1979. Authors and publishers didn't just pause for 13 years to wait and see.
You can't self-host it as an individual blog but it should be possible to self-host the platform and then open a blog on it.
This whole discussion seems to miss the point that sellers always want to sell for as much as they can, and buyers always want to pay as little as they can. If the price goes too high, buyer's won't buy. You could get the same effect by having an auction every month for all the units that would be available in the next month - the price would still rise, but then you could blame the other buyers for "overbidding"

The optimal price for a seller is always "whatever the market will bear" - which we don't like the sound of it's a big "evil" corporation. But if any of us as individuals were selling a car for example, and some software would help us maximize the sale price, we would gladly use it - I don't see how the seller has a moral duty to take less money, same as the buyer has no moral duty to pay more
I don't think it is fair to conflate the "abstract machine" of C with the virtual machine. There is no software virtualization at work when running C code, it is compiled directly to assembly.
I hadn't realized it until I started working with him back in the day and saw his name on Slack.

Wrote him a message and told him how much we appreciated his work at my previous workplace and how we used it all the time to settle debates about C++ code.

Wonderful guy, back then he was very pleasantly surprised that people actually used his website.
I actually have a module that I built ti loads pages using such an approach (prefetch). In my take, I refined Pre-fetching to be triggered a few different ways. You can fetch on hover, proximity (ie: pointer is x distance from href), intersection or by programmatic preload (ie: informing the module to load certain pages). Similar to Turbo, every page is fetched over the wire and cached so a request in only ever fire once. It also supports targeted fragment replacements and a whole lot of other bells and whistles. The results are pretty incredible. I use it together with Stimulus and it's been an absolute joy for SaaS running projects.

That doesn’t track, since I was responding to a comment implying the author was ignorant of rail infrastructure outside of the US.

As to the expertise, he seems unseasoned but in command of a lot

Most important advice (and you can see it repeated here) is that you need to be used to rejection. An average developer might get never get a PR fully rejected -- a well oiled sales team expects to close only 1/3rd of their sales qualified leads. If you're starting from cold calls, you will be lucky to close <1% of your outreach, prepare for that mentally.

But also (again repeated in other comments) you aren't selling a tool, you're looking for their problems, try to understand them in their words and then show how giving you money makes them go away (it doesn't have to all be solved with software, your skills in setting up the system can be just as valuable).

EVs + batteries take a lot more energy and raw materials to manufacture but break even relatively quickly on both accounts since you get to charge them with electricity that may come from clean non-carbon energy sources like nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal as opposed to filling up regularly with dirty and high-carbon fossil and biofuel. If you charge with coal or gas-generated electricity the breakeven is slower but still generally does happen over a period of some years.
I think you're ignoring something important: competition.

Your statement would only be true if all rental properties were owned by a single entity or small number of colluding entities.

But in reality there is no such thing, and competition for tenants puts a downward pressure on market rents.
IIRC Intel "consummer" parts are qualified for 3 (or 5 ?) years of usage at a 30% duty cycle (and you might not find that figure publicly, but honestly you should, and intel should be mandatted to publish it). Now that is likely not exactly what RAM vendors are doing, but likely to give a rough idea of what you should expect from consummer electronics. I'm not even sure all small Xeon have better specs, but for sur you can source some models in volume for a quite low extra cost, qualified for a higher duty cycle and more years of usage.
There is a difference between constructive criticism and calling a language "awful mess". PHP is fine for many use cases and I cannot take a "senior folk" seriously if they plain old trash a language without providing constructive criticism which any language warrants including PHP.

So the point is that PHP is no different than say Go or JS or Java. They all have their pros and cons.
