These ranges are only the case when you get them out of the factory, in ideal conditions. In 5 years, on a cold winter's day, you will not get that range.
Netherlands are northern.

As an exercise, try the Tesla Go anywhere tool ( https://www.tesla.com/trips ). Note that this is only using Tesla charging stations which are merely a small part of the whole network. But a very convenient part. You plug in for 25 minutes and do a bathroom or lunch break or go shopping or watch a short movie - typically possible since the stops are at convenient locations for that.

Remember that you never need to think about any of this. You tell the car where to go and it will plan all the required stops for you.
I can sort of see how that may be the case with Musk and Zuckerberg, but Gates? Is it normal in US for upper middle class fathers to be partners at multi-national law corporations?
> Or do you mean it's the same in Fly.io? If it auto-detects Node.js (through package.json),

Indeed the docs[1] say Fly automatically detects a Node.js project, so you don't need to create a Dockerfile.

Fair. I’ve worked on divesting on unprofitable unit for $0 that ended up being worth $XXM and the distraction elimination it caused for management way more than outweighed the multi year ROI on the process. But your point stands. The counter argument to your point is taken to the absurd extreme you should be like those people on TV buying entire abandoned storage lockers full of junk in the hope of finding _something_. The fact that the boring company seems to partially be working (and many people on HN would likely disagree) is rear view mirror luck. Look at Facebook and oculus now, for an analogy.

I also remembered that video. But, as a non plug expert, I've always been curious how much of what he describes is really good engineering and how much is, erm, plug patriottism (?). Are there any stats or studies that back up his safety claims?
I think the key point is whether the companies are at arms length or not, not that it is pro-bono.
I'm getting the impression that either you don't have any experience with lawyers, or your parents are lawyers and you think their way of life is normal.

Lawyers lie for a living, and that inevitably fucks them up mentally. Over decades, over centuries of colonialist, capitalist apologetics, that has metastasized into an extremely sick culture.

If you lie for a living too, you might see no issue with that. But it is an issue, whatever your opinion and whatever circumstances led you to form it.
Hey HN!
At the beginning of this year, I decided to learn French. In Mai, I moved to Aix-en-Provence (which is in the south of France) and spent three months learning the language. I think I've succeeded

During this time, I found a method that worked very well for me to quickly learn new vocabulary.

In short: - Use a spaced repetition system like Anki[1] that quizzes you on words the moment before you forget them - Use images instead of translations on your flashcards to make them super memorable - Create mnemonics if words don't stick, either through a story or visually using StableDiffusion/Midjourney

I'm just getting started and will continue to write more posts on language learning in the next few weeks. I already wrote an article[2] about the principles of language learning that might also be useful to you. I'm curious about your thoughts.

I wish everyone a great weekend :)

PS: I'm resubmitting this in hope for a bit more traction. I hope that this is okay as stated in the HN FAQs?

Uninjured children can probably climb through to the front and use those doors, even if the driver is injured. I would think a 5 year old should manage that? But they would be familiar with how the doors normally open, and probably not an emergency release handle.

(I was 11.)
At this point we are basically nitpicking over the Internet, but even if you want to take a journey just for the sake of the trip, a map is still very useful.

Most of the human endeavors (art, science, etc) are facilitated by having teachers. Spiritual advancement is no different and in my book, anyone who thinks different is delusional. You may be perfectly happy with no teacher, but you are leaving out a huge chunk of it by navigating on your own. Of course you are free to disagree, but I think it is essential to know about the range of possibilities before deciding if it's worth to have a teacher, and most people simply have no idea.
They certainly can be built elsewhere, however it's currently cheaper to import. It is very common to import when it's cheaper than producing domestically despite it having a history of problems like shortages and fluctuating costs. Helium and rare elements(which aren't very rare) are some examples. Rare earth mines were shutdown in countries when China started undercutting prices.
Tesla can bill Twitter for the work at a fair market price.
Well then, some folks should have taken a few less liberties with fighting a living wage so they could go buy yachts and shit. The world is going to change, as it always has. I mean, we are all going to boil to death soon, who gives a fuck. Drink paint, take a nap, go to a party. Spend time with your friends and family. Steal a mega yacht and throw a party on it that you invite me to where listen to hella bass music while beaching the thing. I mean seriously. Who. Fucking. Cares.
It seems rare that every operation in a business is atomic across a single aggregate, so I’ve always been wary of events that are pure CRUD, whatever you choose to call them.
I do the same, except instead of xmodmap I use “setxkbmap -option compose:ralt” (plus a few other options) as described in the xkeyboard-config(7) manpage. It has some useful features: https://man.openbsd.org/xkeyboard-config.7
Same here. I was very much nurture first until i had kids and then it was absolutely crystal clear to me by the end of the first year that the truth is nature first. Nurture matters, but nature is the more powerful force. My first born was as much herself on the first day she was born as she is now at 7yo. The same for my son.
The oceans of earth contain enough lithium for every human to have 4000 teslas.

Thats… 200 MWh per person worth of lithium.

Or energy storage equal to 200 tons of TNT.

Unlike fossil fuels it is not consumed and will be recycled.

In short, there’s a few orders of magnitude of more lithium around than anyone will ever need. It all comes down to price of extraction.

Taking enough out of the oceans for everybody to have a Tesla won’t even take 0.1% of what’s there.
BMW is not bad (I own one) but try turning off the air conditioner some time.
Solid state, Na based, grid scale non-Li batteries, improved (i.e. cheaper) recycling of battery metals.

There are a lot of reasons that would reduce the cost of batteries even if the mining+processing of Li didn't grow (which it will).

It makes sense to me because Elon or Bezos couldn’t cash out a fraction of their stock without crashing it. I’d be interested in who is truly wealthy and liquid and diversified.
I'm a bit confused as to why it supports OPFS, but not the much more widely supported regular FileSystem API. As far as I understand, this is also capable of reading and writing to files directly, and also allows seeking. All the user needs to do is select a file in a file picker first.

Is there a required feature that only OPFS provides, other than file locking (which seems like a pretty non-essential feature tbh)?
I miss VB6. What's the closest modern thing to it? (VB.Net doesn't count, at least for me)
Liquid definitely doesn’t mean legal tender, just that you can quickly sell (like stocks on the market.) In contrast with property, collectibles, etc.
b) You're asking for occasional "eventual consistency" trouble when A's state lags or has moved on ahead of the event

If you allow A's state to lag behind it's own events, then how are you ever going to create a sane system? Surely A either has to be ahead or at the state that caused the event to emit, or events are pointless.
Yeah, C17 is pretty nice and C23 is shaping up to be really amazing.
So that means Modula-2 is better than Go? :)
Philippines sockets are usually hybrid Europe/US style, either without ground or with ground for US grounded plugs only.

You can also easily find the 'fully' universal wall sockets, but they get unreliable very quickly.

Plugs are anything goes and you get a free adapter with every appliance you buy.

Grounded EU plugs usually end up without ground.

Aircon use a whole other plug with ground, but there's a good chance the electrician didn't actually wire up the ground.
No hope unfortunatelly, car-as-subscription is the dream of automakers and they will do everything to reach the goal.
Adding various gimmicks and as many electronic failure points as possible is to make device less reliable and obsolete in a couple of years so new one needs to be bought.
For Africa one thing that enforces the mental misplacement is Sahara desert; it looks like it should sit on the equator, being neat east-west aligned zone spanning the continent. But in reality it's few thousand kms north of equator.
United states is a wide bowl, not a rectangle.
This is smoke and mirrors. Focus on how much money the totality of current and past coinholders have. It'll be the negative sum of the transaction fees paid. This is all there is.
At first I thought this is about some extra functionality, like having an additional way of opening the glove box, or perhaps even locking it. I thought it's harmless, since that action wouldn't be performed too often. I never thought this would be about actually replacing the physical latch.
This. Most of what I use twitter for is news. Some cyber/IT people and then our news orgs taking screencaps of it for news.
I don't see your "Period" here. Perhaps it is in best interest of both Tesla and Twitter to cooperate on some topics, but not to the degree of acquisition of one by another.

Remember that SpaceX and Tesla do have a common VP for material engineering, Charles Kuehmann? It makes sense for them to share knowledge on materials.

In the same way, there may be a cause for sharing software engineering resources/know-how between Tesla and Twitter without actually merging the entire companies into one behemoth.
Why would this prevent SoCs?
I once reviewed why colors were off in the MacOS version of LibreOffice. Not being all that familiar with the code, I spent days reading through the code. Then I idly looked up the kCGColorSpaceGenericGray and kCGColorSpaceGenericRGB in Apple's documentation, and realized they had been deprecated. Switched to the correct color space and suddenly all the tests passed.

Several dozen characters changed in the actual code. A number of ifdefs removed in the test code. Literally hours of wracking my brains as to the problem in unfamiliar code on a relatively unfamiliar platform.

Good post! I must point out, though, the correct symbol for minutes and seconds is actually the prime. As in, 10° 33′ 19″.
Ugh, this is just childish.

You publish the software under a permissive free license and then make a pikachu confused face when people start using it according to the said license.

What the hell did you expect would happen? If you wanted to get paid for software, why did you instead tell everyone that it can be used for free?
If you want to get paid for maintenance, then why are you doing it for free, instead of setting up some kind of a bug bounty, when you only react after payment? Just add a bot that automatically adds payment link to new Github Issues or whatever you use. If you don't want your software to be used for making money without paying you, then add this explicitly to your LICENSE. It's srsly THAT simple.

And don't give me that "evil corporations make money on free software" bullshit. I remember it were the devs themselves who pushed for the use of OSS for their own convenience, back in the day the use of OSS was a hard NO in most enterprise shops, somewhere it's still is.

Throwing a tantrum just cuz people use the software the way that YOU explicitly told them to is plain stupid.
Payment without the waiters is much better for the customer.

You'd think that waiting staff would take care with the part where they collect the money to pay their wages but it's incredible how often they go AWOL at that point in proceedings or double down on the "actively not looking towards the customers". In principle I'd like to be on reasonable terms with them but when that happens I'd take automation any day.
Other commenters have mentioned interactive and patch staging. That is the standard way to ensure that only the lines you specify go into a commit. I want to add an alternative method that offers some extra advantages.

Patch stack management tools like stacked-git and topgit allow you to setup a number of patches (using git). You can then specify which patch each change goes into. This is sort of like having multiple staging area/indexes at your disposal. They also allow you to add commit messages to each patch at any stage of the development. You could also add, delete, split, squash or edit each patch at any time. And these patches are converted to regular commits at the end of development of the feature. You can also convert any commits into patches if you ever need it.

The attraction that I see in this workflow is that it allows you to combine the chaotic development workflow and final rebasing step into a single stage.
EV battery lifetime has basically surprised everyone. They're lasting way longer than anyone expected. It seems this is mostly because most battery lifetime data was from 0-100% charge cycling, which is rare for most EVs, and cycling over smaller ranges with smaller duty cycles and slower charging (also the norm in EVs but rare in tests) makes a huge difference to lifetime (which was already known to some extent, but was not anticipated when EVs with large battery packs first came onto the market). In fact one of the reasons we don't have large-scale battery recycling at the moment is because there's still relatively few batteries even from this first generation which have reached the end of their life.
Obviously this isn't a technology acquisition. This was clearly for the platform and buying the existing eye balls on it. Technology can be secondary and improved a lot more easily than trying to capture the cultural relevance that Twitter has.

In particular, even if you don't have stock in your own company, you'd still likely want to invest most of your assets. I would guess that a list of people holding large quantities of cash would, roughly speaking, contain two groups: people who don't manage their wealth very well, and currency traders/speculators who are holding cash itself as an asset.
Lithium is a very small input to batteries, by mass. I forget the exact number, but I think only a few percent by weight, and it's not a major part of the cost. There's also this breakdown:

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/breaking-down-the-cost-of-a...

I would expect battery prices to stall on their drop, or even rise a bit, in the next year or two, before dropping again massively in price. There has been a lot of supply chain disruption, and an absolutely massive increase in demand. But lots more production capacity is being built.
You can't predict the markets.

And especially size of Greenland versus Africa.

People think Greenland is BIG whereas it is really small compared to Africa.

How much of the price of the battery is the raw lithium, and how much is the cost of manufacturing? For most technological goods the prices of raw inputs are almost irrelevant; you don't see chip prices going up because of the cost of raw silicon.

(Exception: solar panels, because those have the least processing over raw silicon and are therefore more price sensitive)
I would urge them to build something good that fits on 24GB maybe 48GB VRAM, otherwise there will be slow opensource progress. I need Codex alternative like that desperately to fix programming.
"Liquid" is a spectrum, not an absolute.

Stockholdings of highly capitalized, highly traded stocks on major stock exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, FTSE, a few others) are one of the more liquid assets there are.

If you are a multi-billionare it's reasonable to think you can convert maybe $500M - $1B of stock holdings to cash and have it in your bank accounts in 24 hours.

See https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/032715/what-items-a...

> Cash equivalents are typically investments that have short-term maturities of less than 90 days and are considered liquid assets because they can be readily converted to cash.
If it was just for aesthetics, you could have just a discreet manual release.

Anyway, you don't have "a discreet manual release" on actual implementation of that crap, so yeah that's the point: you could and you should have a manual release. At which point the touchscreen insanity for that would not make sense and would disappear.
He should work on something with greater commercial potential
>> capacity planning, monitoring and alerting, honing their troubleshooting skills

> This is veering into made-up-job world.

Maybe if you're running a CRUD app on a single server in your basement.

But these are definitely core engineering competencies for any system large enough to experience regular and non-preventable failure. Hardware fails. Technician error happens. A litany of natural disasters from heats wave to flooding can impact a DC or the infrastructure within hundreds of miles of a DC. Load assumptions are violated. Etc. With a large enough footprint, these sorts of things happen often enough that robust monitoring, alerting, and planning are necessary. (Hell, just building a DC requires significant capacity planning, to say nothing of keeping the thing humming along happily.)

Either you're doing this work internally or you're paying AWS/GCP/Azure to do that work for you. In many cases a mix of both. But if you're large enough to need even a small data center, this work is being done by someone.

If you don't know about it, you're either small enough to run your business from a few servers or you're paying someone else a very nice premium to abstract away the details. (Or, most commonly, both.) But if you have any amount of scale, the work is being done by someone.

Anyways, this attitude is probably spot on and is why I expect Twitter to go from "stable if unexceptional business" to "can't even stay online" to "MySpace 2.0" within 10 years.
Ask HN: Ways to make and old car safer?
I'm aware that cars nowadays are much safer than cars from 20 years ago. And a lot of that progress has to do with design (crumple zones, anti-roll, etc) and airbags.

It seems a bit wasteful to me to discard my old Subaru Forester which works just fine - but I have concerns about the safety of it were I in an accident.

Is there any way to significantly improve the safety of an old car?
Humans are just apes looking for the newest color of banana. We already know a lot about human machine interfaces and safety and human attention, and yet we throw that all away to offer and get the new shiny toy that merely changed something and usually for the worse. The older you get, the more you realize why older people are so cranky about certain things. As you gain age and experience, you become aware of the reality that humans simply will not change for the better in the collective, and that we remain driven by emotional needs rather than the reason we pride ourselves on.
There’s plenty of people going to the restaurant alone and I bet the human experience is a big part of their motivation. They may not be as noisy and visible as groups of cheering young folks but you’ll notice them for sure if you take time to scan around with your eyes and not your phone (pun intended, not disdain over techies). Think of old widows, singles, workers away from family/friends, peoples with difficulties to have social interactions.
What you say is likely to be true now, but only because of the huge climate warming that has occurred during the last 50 years, which seems to be more obvious in Europe than in other places.

When I was a child in Europe, around the 45 degrees latitude, there was permanent snow cover during 3 to 4 months of each year, and in almost all days the temperature at noon was below freezing. Sometimes there was a week or two with day temperatures down to minus 20 Celsius degrees, or even less.

In the same place now, the winters are mostly without any snow. Even when it happens to snow, one or two days per winter, it melts the next day, because the day temperature is above freezing.

Nevertheless, this is a very recent phenomenon, and not how the climate was until the last century.
Can you elaborate on the perp’s risk/reward analysis?

Imagine a vending machine in a remote area with no hardline data access, and it’s unreliable for the machine to access the phone network. If there’s a QR on the machine, and if the customer has a data signal, then payments can easily be processed by phone and return a code to complete the purchase.

A perp swaps the QR, sends customers to a plausible-looking payment site and steals their buck-and-a-quarter.

It’s fairly easily detected because that machine suddenly stops making money. The perp’s website and payment processing would be subject to subpoena. And this is wire fraud, so a federal crime in the US.

Sufficient risk / insufficient reward?

Mazda is all _out_ on touchscreens... There are knobs and buttons for controlling things. You still get all the standard bells and whistles (radar cruise, lanekeeping, heads-up display), and, at least in Australia, no phoning home or built-in connectivity beyond a GPS receiver and radio.
So apparently it’s possible to use Go when creating iPhone apps? I had no idea.
