What does this have to do with EVGA?
The sensible thing would be to make it optional: Have a manual release latch that can be electronically locked, if you want to.

Want fast access, you got it. Want to lock the glovebox, you got that too.
He's tapped into leveraging his sycophants. IMO, that's not leadership, though it can work for awhile.

The problem with his method is there is no one to tell him no, and a leader should instead value critical feedback. I think we've been seeing the cracks at the edges of this lack of feedback for awhile. This deal being the largest one to date financially.
I moved from a Mazda to Hyundai and find my Elantra very much like my Mazda 6 in terms of ease-of-use.

It has android auto/carplay. To change songs, increase the volume, mute you use buttons on the steering wheel. There is a physical volume up/down knob as well in case the passenger wants to use it and these can be done via the touch screen as well.

They have done an excellent job blending new technology and continuing to use "what works" from the past.

Too many of these touch screens in cars requires accessing menue's and sub-menu's to do basic things that should be on the steering wheel. My ex-wife's Lexus which cost 5x what i paid for my Elantra wont let her access the navigation system unless it is stopped and in park?? I can simply hold a button on the steering wheel to access Siri and state where i want to go. Far too often if you touch the screen on her lexis you get "vehicle is in motion".. Great.. and i'm in the passenger seat confused as to why this is an issue?

this is such a problem that there are instructions on how to override it?
https://www.wikihow.com/Override-Lexus-Navigation-Motion-Loc...

perhaps they should have done a better job planning this out before releasing it to the public?

Personally i feel Hyundai provides better "value for your money". By not having the incredibly complicated model and options packages you find in North American cars they keep their costs down and the variations on their products low.

No need to deal with the NA style "you want package A, you need to get packages B and C as well" crap.

Title should have been - Why talking to strangers can make us wiser
> And please don't think I'm asking for American style "service" where you practically have servers begging you for tips every 2 seconds

It’s not like this at all. Servers don’t talk about tips or beg for them. You just tip at the end of the meal, whatever amount you want.
I think it will be fine for two reasons:

1. It's way easier to install 100 chargers at a service station than it is to install 100 petrol pumps.
2. Lots of people can charge at home and will almost never charge anywhere else, so there will be fewer people wanting to charge there anyway. Maybe not at very sparsely populated American states but they surely have space for huge charging car parks anyway?
I guess it was that, which triggered this (I saw your link posted yesterday).

I'm curious, how accurate/ useful is this 2015 guide today, Vs the newer (?) one you linked (which is also very cool too!).

Having been watching various media related YouTube videos lately, in wondering whether to jump on the AV1 bandwagon for encoding all of my family videos.

Currently I'm using H264/MP4 in 4K, my kids are only 1 and 3yo and I already have a couple of terabytes of video, not to mention all of the photos.
There is someone at a company who could articulate the big-picture idea behind bizarre-looking activity, to maintain orderly calm among the employees, customers, and shareholders, and prevent wild speculation and panic. That person is the owner or CEO. Musk is both. Employees who don't trust their bosses don't do good work.
Spending a few days to produce a short bugfix is normal. But in a full-time employment scenario, you might have a bug hunt like this every once in a while, but definitely not all the time, you’re also usually working on new features, so you do have some output to show.
Sockets don’t have fuses. Only the plug. Sockets have switches but those are manually tripped and clearly visible when on or off. The fuses in the plugs only blow under exceptional circumstances too. The whole thing is really low maintenance in my experience (I’ve had more issues with US plugs so weird you experienced the reverse).

My biggest complaint about U.K. plugs is that they’re not more universal. This leads to some international goods having really shitty adapters to slot their proprietary plug into a U.K. plug. Some of which are so bad that they completely undo all of the safety mechanisms built into the U.K. plug.

As for the complaint about stepping on a plug, I’ve done that maybe once in my entire life time. Frankly if you can’t be bothered to tidy up your electrical cables then it’s really your own fault and not the flaw in the design of the plug.
Really sounds like I'll have to.
Somewhat related… I’m seeing way too many non-fiction books with titles like:

Sure, I'm not saying it's unreasonable.

The big selling point of `soanm` is that you don't need to have anything extra installed on a typical distribution (not even ssh!) and you don't need to know any extra configuration language, or how to use a special library, or anything beyond shell scripting. Of course, you also trade a lot of functionality away: The programs you write aren't declarative, and so on. But personally I don't care about that when provisioning a new dev machine. I'd much rather just run some quick scripts.
>What is important in the emotional landscape of competency is not necessarily having an accurate model, but feeling good about the model you have

Honestly I'm not sure how emotions enter into competency. Competency is best understood as the ability to get things done. You have some goals and when you are able to achieve them with reasonable efficacy you're competent. If you don't then you're not. (unless someone else is legitimately to blame, which I would not make a habit unless it's very obvious)

Rather than spending a lot of time with emotional introspection about ones own competence, imposter syndrome theorizing and what have you just evaluate your competency on measurable, real world tasks. When you don't meet them just accept that you may not be that competent, nobody's died over that fact.

Also ties into the last part. advocating "don't be attached to outcomes" is a bad idea because pursuing a tautological path that doesn't even have a theoretical failure mode is, to use a good neologism, copium. Failure and incompetence are okay, they're pretty much the natural state of things in most situations. Being overly emotional about it isn't that helpful, just do something about it.
> GM also has electronic primary door release mechanisms in their vehicles.

They often have them hidden, though.

The other day, a friend of mine had his keys on the table. His car key was the common "oblong box" variety. A small black box, with a couple of buttons.

I asked him if he'd ever had a battery issue, and he said no, but he had nightmares about it.

I then showed him his "hidden" manual key (usually, there's a fingernail slot).

Then, we had to spend some time, looking around his car, for the keyhole.

It turned out to be under the driver's side door handle, covered by a plastic plug.
While it's nice that AMD is becoming more competitive in this space, many small teams still go for NVIDIA to maximize compatibility.

The 4090 is fine as a budget option for many compute tasks, including deep learning, as long as 24GB per card is enough for your use cases.

Single cards in a PC/Workstation can be used to develop the code for a network, even if you run the main training on servers.

But as the 4090 is multiple times cheaper than an A100, a setup with 4 4090's will be preferable to A100s for some workloads.

Does anyone else remember that magical moment when you could physically insert a Gameshark[0] into the back of the Playstation and achieve basically the same thing?

It used to be a literal, physical device, similar to the technology used by Sonic & Knuckles[0].

I remember someone explained to me, after the family PC got infected with some malware that folks get MUCH angrier if you're messing around in a networked game like Starcraft than something offline like... Pokemon.

This was back when they were transitioning to CD-ROMs to distribute the games, and IMHO understandably afraid they'd spend R&D money on things like which controller designs work best, then go pirate all the games.

Anyways, I suspect of years of treating minors abusively is catching up with the world, as you see things like this exploit, Solarwinds[2], the Texas grid failure[2]... these are all separate "cyber" issues connected by a common thread: the United States has some that have a state income tax, and some that don't, and people can move freely between them.

Like... seriously... did people not plan for a future when people sigh, pretend not to understand your weird Myspace drama, and pay for a quad espresso in cash so they can go do whatever they want on the wifi?

I've seen so many people say that X shouldn't be done because something could be a server for a hospital, or an airport or something.

But I don't think any hospitals are running the FTP server to upload crime scene photos on a Playstation.

Maybe for Devil's night someone should brick every single one of them to cut down on the amount of bored teenagers running around with... command line skills.

Strangely those very same people have a very large financial incentive to maintain the status quo of ICE vehicles.
Have you tried converting iterations to SIMD and using vector extension to target x86, ARM, Webassembly and compile for Linux/Windows/MacOS with a simple piece of code? It's a pretty significant speed up and it only work with Clang.
IIRC, there was a secondary component that acted as a full windows scripting host and could even be consumed within internet explorer to run python scripts much like how you could use vbscript in webpages at one point. (what an ill-advised little escapade that was). I'm not sure how you would even use it now, so maybe it still exists! I guess maybe you'd use wscript.exe with a special command line flag?
It can, as a matter of fact.

Perhaps the pervasive use of JS forces people to enable it. I disable it and when things work, they are fast and wonderfully ad-free (or greatly cut down; I do further ad blocking). JS is a security risk IMO.
Surely it will get easier as it scales up. There are charging stations in spite of the low number of EVs.

I don't think any infrastructure will need to be rebuilt. EVs aren't that heavy. Certainly not as heavy as many vans.

How about outliers in the opposite quadrant?
Nod. VAST[1] for LLVM MLIR was mentioned in recent discussion[2]. Hmm, so perhaps with a "degree of absorption" axis, from say idiomatic-reimplementation to might-as-well-be-a-shell-call, with also transliterated-port and c-library-api, perhaps one key threshold might be sufficiently-digested-to-permit-refactoring? Puzzlement. With the pain of dealing with LLIR on one end, to an imaginary scraping of LLVM to a non-C++ knowledge representation sufficient for emitting native implementations... I'm unclear on the space's cost/benefit transitions.

Or consider large-scale code analysis and refactoring tooling - perhaps having that should be a bootstrap target, a unit of absorption is app repo, and a key threshold is ability to refactor source? Or not repo, but arbitrary scale. So Language Server Protocol blended with dynamic loading and calling convention? Smalltalkish "live" image environment with piles of mutating forked repos? That sort of cross-checks - ask a "programmer apprentice" ai, err, or simply a programming team, "I'd like capabilities foo with characteristics bar", a set of forked repos might be an unremarkable outcome. So that might suggest a language bootstrap target of ffi plus refactoring-LSP client?

FFI is an unremarkable bootstrap target, and a refactoring-LSP client gives control over both sides, so maybe next, how to move code across the line? AST scraping and transliteration? Polyglot direct memory access to data types? Suggesting as targets maybe high-end "can exercise and analyze compiler output" ffi, and rich AST tooling? Language implementation, with its specs and test suites, can be a nice context for such work. Which might bring us back around to an emphasis on early implementation of other languages, but with maybe an increased focus on interoperation with existing implementations? Control of config, build, and linkage, might also need emphasis?

Hmm, fun, tnx!

BOTW is proof of this. It’s the best looking game I’ve ever played and it’s no where near super realistic graphics.
That all makes sense about the weight, and it will likely matter for airplanes. But it doesn't matter enough for cars.

LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are already used by Tesla and have a gravimetric energy density of 125 Wh/kg, much lower than Lithium-ion.

CATL currently produces a sodium-ion battery at 160 Wh/kg, and they expect the next generation to reach 200 Wh/kg. Even if that doesn't come to fruition, it's already higher density than what's being used in electric cars!

Now consider that sodium-ion is less flammable and doesn't have the risk of thermal runaway. You might be able to drop weight in hazard protection systems. Battery cycle times are competitive with Lithium chemistry. Contrary to your prediction that it doesn't pencil out, I expect sodium-ion to completely displace Lithium batteries for use in electric vehicles because it pencils out so much better. It will just be so much cheaper and doesn't bottleneck on any materials as you scale up.
Maybe nothing, maybe EVGA, with their reputation for quality and sound engineering, would have looked at the garbage adapter cable Nvidia shipped to board partners and said "Hell no, we're not shipping that to customers" and sounded the alarm on it before thousands of these got into people's homes and offices where they may yet kill someone.

I don't personally like EVGA, had a bad experience trying (and failing) to get warranty replacement for a defective PSU, but I can certainly follow GP's thinking about how EVGA's involvement with this launch might have made a difference.
Isn't this kind of thing standard for takeovers?
On the contrary, I'm more than happy to discuss my code with my colleagues, because their intent is to understand the code. In the hypothetical scenario, the new owner's intent is to evaluate my worth, not my code.
Type of material decides on battery's energy density. It's just impossible for battery of "inferior" chemistry to get to same level of capacity.

There is a reason lead ones are not "just" heavy but also physically much bigger than same capacity lithium one.

What will (probably) happen if we get competitive sodium batteries is that they will phase out lithium from the stationary storage so there won't be that huge demand for lithium for everything. Or possibly they will become "cheap EV's battery"
He says a lot of things, however, and the fact that he’s describing that as something other than the status quo it is means we shouldn’t take this at face value.

They've had their hits and misses over the years. Not at all typical, I'm sure, but a fun anecdote: I had a 90s bmw at one point, with electronic controls for the adjustable driver's seat down near the floor between the seat and door. The buttons got wet one time when it was raining, and it led to the seat coming alive and trying to crush me against the steering wheel while in highway traffic. Mashing on the controls didn't work and the motor was quite powerful. I was barely able to pull over with the room I had to move. If I wasn't as thin as I am, I might have been pinned down and crashed.
I worked at Twitter.

That place is full of folks who are truly of a "rest and vest" mindset. They are also very political (left leaning) and biased. Which really affects moderation and the so called "open" culture. That "open" propaganda they push on their career website is really based on incrowd psychology.

There are a few gems but the really good ones left already. Now it's just the last leafs waiting to fall off the trees which are still standing. The bird has been resting and vesting on leafless trees for a long time. I would be weary hiring a developer from there knowing their record.

It's full of people trying to justify their roles to themselves and their peers with unecessary rewrite schemes for a long time.

The bird needed to migrate for a long time. I am happy it has finally sought a better climate.

However winter is coming.

Yes, software is typically more complex than a laymen would expect once all of the edge cases and layers of legacy code or “guano” are implemented. However, I doubt that these outside developers are expected to understand everything in a single day.

There are legitimate questions regarding how certain sections of the Twitter code operate as it relates to censorship, which is a primary reason Elon purchased Twitter. Given the activist mentality (and possibly hostile to new ownership) of a certain number of developers, it seems perhaps prudent to analyze the code and evaluate the existing developers immediately upon purchase of the company.

Why are we saying 10 years? Why are we in the region of 30% capacity?

I'm so curious why you'd invent such pessimistic numbers... I am hoping there is a beneficent reason for the choice..

But to inject a frame of reality in your imagining, my 2012 Nissan leaf has worse battery chemistry than modern EVs, has been left for up to 6 months off the charger, charged fully to 100% it's entire life, and still maintains 83% of original capacity a decade later.
