It's a great point. Apple Maps was pretty rough when it launched but they've stuck with it and iteratively improved it. It's not like this is a self-driving car where you have to get it right and any mistake from the get-go can be fatal, so there's no reason not to apply the same iterative approach to search.
If you’re interested in going further on this train of thought- check out virtual assistants on UpWork or Fiverr. You can find great ones for $20-40/hr. Or if you prefer a full-time person (40hr/week), you can hire a great one at $1-2k a month. This person can organize your emails, calendar, manage projects, edit videos, and so on.

The author isn't dismissing "window shopping". They're just dismissing the need to keep track of the "window shopping" in the history, since you're not changing anything in the history.

If you have state1, edit it and get state2, edit that and get state3, then go back to state2 and copy something and then go forward again to state3 to paste that something, why should the history from state3 (in reverse chronological order) then be [state2,state3,state2,state1] when it could just be [state2,state1]? This is what the author claims, and it makes sense to be. If I undo, don't make any changes, then redo, I don't want that undo-redo to then be part of the undo history.
Eating seaweed and bugs sounds a lot better than starving to death? Especially since in both cases they appear to be just intermediate sources of nutrients that will get turned into innocuous food-a-likes like burgers and bacon.

It’s been a bit so I’ll reply to myself.

I do know the fear of entering the market. Heck, also the fear of graduating into the workaday world in my early twenties with not really anything other than a degree. So I’d say be on the lookout for an entry point into whatever. If you’re going into tech then Help Desk/Service Desk work is a standard starting point. Programming, making sure you have a portfolio on GitHub and do your leetcode prep. I don’t know your exact point. But that first job can last as little as 6 months, even less, or even more. But once you’re hired you’re “off the ground” and that’s the key.
Well he failed miserably at that. If he had stuck with his original supposed $1 billion, he could have given almost all of it away and still lived a very comfortable life. As it stands now, his charitable foundation has pledged far less than $1 billion (at it remains to be seen just how much it pledged actually gets paid out).

Perhaps if he had spent more time donating money (his stated aim) rather than inventing convoluted financial structures (FTX has over 100 related companies!), he would have achieved more, and cost people a lot less.
Do you mean ice cream where it's the central flavor, or in the form of carrageenans as a thickener?
That includes steps that you shouldn't. I.e. to transfer money via bank, I wouldn't include "get a job to earn some money".

You don't want to transfer money, you want to transfer value. If the recipient can use the crypto currency to buy something else, they don't need an exchange.

Here's my very simple setup: have a bunch of mbtc sit in a wallet. Open the wallet. Insert the password. Insert address and amount. Insert the password again. Done.

I can do the same with a bank, but it takes much longer (i.e. days instead of seconds or minutes) unless the recipient is at the same bank, or I pay extra and they're in the same network, and I need to rely on the bank to allow my payment. Want to buy porn, drugs, or want to gamble your hard earned money away? Good luck using your VISA or PayPal for that.

There's plenty of potential in crypto, it doesn't need to replace any and all usecases of banking to be useful.

Labor costs are between 20-40% of the cost of construction. The Florida brightline project uses existing rail. The california project is all new rail and requires the purchase of land.
It's also worth noting that private sector contractors in CA know how to game the bidding process and often politicians or their families have stock or personal relations with the contractors.
Personally, I hate writing Go. It's a very dull and boring language, but it's an amazing language (objectively speaking) for software development.

1) It's performant. The language itself is very fast, the GC is very fast and go routines make concurrency fast.

2) The tooling is great. Once you have the Go CLI installed, everything else "just works." Cross-compilation is super easy. Install dependencies is easy. Generating code is easy. Embedding files is easy. The ecosystem is really mature. Modules are easy to create, export, and import. Compilation time is fast. The list goes on...

3) The generics system is amazing. It beats any system that implements generics with type erasure.

4) The language itself is very easy to read and write.

5) The language is relatively new, which means less outdated cruft. The language also puts an emphasis on having only one way to do things.

So comparing it to other languages:

- Python: Terrible tooling. Not performant

- C# Bad tooling (do I need .NET, .NET Core, Mono? How do I create a project? What is this crazy project xml file? How do I export my project to be consumed by others? How do I import a dependency?). Also, as an older language, it has a bit of cruft, e.g. it has optional types, but they also aren't required? Maybe if I knew more about C#, I would find it better. But using it with Unity didn't leave a great taste in my mouth.

- JavaScript: not performant, especially in multi-core environments.

- Rust: Rust is too hard to write. It's not worth the overhead if you can afford a GC.

- C++: Same as rust, + more foot guns and unsafe memory management.

- Zig: Don't have much experience with Zig, but I'd like to.

- Ruby: Not performant, not typed.

- Swift: Tooling is bad. Compilation is slow. Cross-platform is not a priority. Swift Package Manager is buggy. Using Xcode sucks.

- JVM languages: bad tooling (maven, sbt, gradle are all a pain), generics have type erasure.

Of course, there are reasons to use other languages. If you’re writing an iOS app, the tooling for Swift is best-in-class. Or if you’re doing ML, the ML-specific ecosystem in Python outweighs all other considerations.
You can "buy cash" right now in amount from $100 to $1M on most d-web exchanges. Decentralized versions like Open Bazaar have worked for years just no one uses them so its more expensive and less choice.

Decentralized on/off ramps have existed for a LONG time and the fist was a key reason Bitcoin Core (BTC) broke away from the Bitcoin roadmap and became more of an "alt-coin" than the Bitcon we started with. Many think "SegWit" was a hack desigend to inject malicious code into Bitcoin Core to make these types of decentralized exchanges more difficult but then Vitalik just said fuck the US Government and came out with Ethereum.
You're still betting your future on this privacy holding. If they do find a way to attack it, they will likely still be able to reconstruct the whole history, unlike with cash.

Also, the bounty was awarded to a company who is theoretically developing a solution. I'm not holding my breath, and anyway I hope for the sake of everyone guilty of harmless "crimes" (buying recreational drugs) that the anonymity holds.
The US can build massive projects, and many of the big projects you hear about world-wide are designed and built by US companies.

We can even do it quickly if we need to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekUROM87vTA

We just rarely need or want to.
Isn't it kind of obvious? The US has a ton of infrastructure already in place, and in heavy use. It's not such an easy thing to build new infrastructure on top of old infrastructure with heavy traffic. It requires notices, permits, diversions, schedules, tons of money, etc. What it boils down to is that it is extremely inconvenient to build transit projects in the US for everyone involved - the builders, the government, the taxpayers.

On the other hand, it's not too bad to build things in places where there's nobody, or no infrastructure. Because it inconveniences nobody. Nobody cares if some new building or railway is erected in a spot where there was previously nothing. This is why Europe's infrastructure is so much better than the US's - because most of it was destroyed in WW2, and Europe was able to essentially start from scratch. It's the same deal with China, which was previously unindustrialized, and has had no problems erecting massive cities and transit networks in all these rural places.

I see no way for the US to get out of this quandry short of a couple things:

- Some kind of weapons or terrorism scare that causes massive city depopulation

- Major transportation revolution that enables mass transit without infrastructure, think flying cars

- Building brand new cities, which honestly probably will not happen unless climate change really fucks things up

So buckle in to your carseats folks, because we're gonna continue to be a car nation for years to come.

> But the (Tesla) connector is definitely better,

I'm not convinced of that. Tesla's connector is thinner and lighter yes absolutely. But Tesla is also weaker and less reliable \ less fault tolerant than standard EV charger cables (See the dreaded EP307 / lock error, something that can't even happen with a normal EV CCS charger)

I definitely think it's preferable for CCS win, as it's the safest, most durable, most compatible, while also being the lowest cost option.
All these analysis just wind up concluding in a different politically correct phrasing of "y'all mfers piss a hell of a lot of money away on stuff that would be overt graft if it weren't an official part of the process and there wasn't some service exchanged with a plausibly deniable reason"

The whole system from top to bottom is a money sieve and it's so diffuse nobody is responsible so nobody has any incentive to clean it up and everybody has some token reason why their bit of pork is necessary so an outsider without tons of inside experience that tends to also result in deep investment in the status quo can't hope to accurately clean it up without breaking everything.
Could a straightforward UX change stop the bleeding re: impersonation: Swap the prominence/styling of the "name" (which is, inexplicably, editable) with the handle (which is by definition unique). Display handle in all-lowercase.

Not sure how you’re defining “standard” but given that Tesla has the major majority here, its connector is the standard most people are familiar with.

If you just mean, it’s something not proprietary that other manufacturers agreed on, then sure.

I think the issue with nuclear energy is the combined threats of local destruction and global environmental catastrophe. They may be overblown, but mining lithium to make electric cars doesn't increase the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation, for example.
unrelated, but I really wish people would stop using old.reddit.com links.

> I don’t know that this is “instead of.” That isn’t stated anywhere.

this is correct, I am just assuming.

> Tesla has also committed to building Superchargers with CCS connectors.

This has happened in some European countries, but as far as the US, it remains all talk; the large amount of Tesla superchargers everywhere remain unavailable for those of us with CCS vehicles. This move seems very much like intended to take the pressure off having to do this change within the US, which is my point (entirely conjecture on my part).
I did. My conclusion is that the issue is over politicization as I said. Every interested party wants a piece of the pie, that includes unions, but it also includes everyone else in a 100 mile radius.

Exactly.. of course we still have very significant problems to solve.

Such as the fact that most of these cryptocurrencies are totally impractical to use for actually buying things, leading to the need to use centralized exchanges for swapping to fiat.

And the fact that there are multitudes of competing cryptocurrencies. And that there is a fundamental lack of integration with government due to government actually needing to radically reform and advance to incorporate cryptocurrency.

But still, they are core advancements that society should take advantage of. Easier said than done.

The first one seems like confusing word choices to me. They allow you to buy 2x as much stock as you are putting money down (2:1 leverage when you buy stock). After you do so, you have 10 shares that you own to 10 shares that you control by don't own (and therefore are 1:1 levered).

The second one is only confusing because you're trying to find a cause and effect between 2 events that simply happened to happen at the same time. Though in practice the events may have an underlying common cause and so do show up more often than you'd expect.

A concrete scenario is a community bank in a place where a major employer just did a layoff. The value of the mortgages is now impaired because some people won't be able to pay them back. The laid off people also need most of the money in their checking accounts because they have no job. The bank now has a challenge - its cash reserves don't meet anticipated needs, and it can't sell the mortgages to get more cash.

The troubled bank has a good chance of surviving unless the third leg of the trifecta shows up - word gets out about the bank's trouble. Now everyone scared of losing their checking accounts all show up to withdraw money at the same time. The bank doesn't have the cash for this "run on the bank", and goes bankrupt.

This scenario was historically common. People accepted it until there was an event during the Great Depression where enough banks went under at the same time that people got scared about what were otherwise healthy banks. Even though their assets were good, they couldn't pay out all accounts at once, and began going under en masse. FDR took fairly drastic actions to fix this (bank holiday, confiscating gold, etc) and then put in the FDIC to stop it from ever happening again.

There is a well-known portrayal of this run on the banks in the movie, It's A Wonderful Life.
>would quite like to see this list; I hope someone - e.g. a strong female like the interviewee - leaks it anonymously

An anonymous leak of an unwritten list is meaningless. I could say I'm actually an MP and the most frequent name to come up is jll29, and what could you do to stop that?
> Only relevant for crime.

Sending money anonymously is speech. Just as there's no reason the government needs access to my Signal text history, they don't need access to my sex toy purchase history either.

Are you in favor of strong encryption for messaging, but not payments? If so, I am curious to hear more of your reasoning on that.

> Money is money, it can only change hands with a legal contract, and "smart contracts" are not legal contracts.

Possession is 9/10 of the law, and low-value transactions are not worth litigating. Smart contracts let a piece of software be the judge and jury on a $5 transaction, and I think there's some value in that. It could also be useful for transacting with people who live in countries with broken legal systems.

There are two common ways to deal with failable operations: either throw/panic/abort instead of returning a value if creating the value fails, or return a container which must be checked for success before the value can be accessed.

The key is that once a value has definitely been obtained, the compiler needs to be able to track that, otherwise it is unclear whether the value needs to be checked again whenever it is used. Often those checks are not where they should be, leading to many bugs.
I didn't mean to sound so negative on Vocaloid. For what it's worth, I'm a producer who used to make songs with Vocaloid (Gumi English) and switched to SynthV this year, so I'm speaking mainly from that perspective. Vocaloid can still make great songs. I'm a big fan of all of the NEXTLIGHT artists (picco, Twinfield, etc) in particular. Certainly not trying to dunk on the fandom or artists.

However, I do think that it's a lot more limited in what it can do. The voices in Vocaloid sound quite synthetic, and there's only so far you can go if you're not going for a stereotypical "Vocaloid-sounding" vocal. IMO, Synth V can get pretty close to the Vocaloid sound with Eleanor Forte, but in addition can also produce some much more realistic-sounding vocals, especially with Solaria, Eleanor AI, or the newer Dreamtronics AI voicebanks.

People are making music with Synth V! Check out AIKA who has made some amazing songs using Synth V.

The post by David Vujic actually mentioned the significant difference - REPL-driven in the way Clojure programmers understand it is not simply interpreting snippets of code in a separate process, but interacting with a running program, including all it's state and modifying it on the fly if needed.

Clojure programs listen on a extra port that you can connect your editor to and modify the program as it running.

Things like tests and notebooks may run the same code, but don't have the exact state and environment as your running program, be it running locally a staging env or even production.

This is not unique to Clojure, a Common Lisp program was famously running on a space probe and REPLed into decades ago, and Smalltalk code is stored in VM images, but few mainstream languages nowadays allow such interaction with a running program
Intel’s axed Optane biz spurts out mixed bag of new SSDs
Back in 2012 I was considerably better-versed in Java (it was the main language for my CS education and a bunch of my hobby stuff). Still, I ended up picking Go because it was so much easier--no need to deal with Maven or Gradle or the alternatives, no need to pick a testing framework or a test runner, no need to configure CI jobs to publish documentation or source code packages, no need to run some external web server process, no need to worry about runtime dependencies (including the JVM itself), etc. No need to navigate an ecosystem (including stdlib) riddled with inheritance and other antipatterns, etc. No need to get a master's degree in tuning the JVM. Text editor plugins just worked. `gofmt` existed and was ubiquitous. The language itself was far smaller and it had native, idiomatic value types from inception!. Everything about Go was just so much easier than Java.
People seem deep in denial about Tesla market share. Tesla is 80% of all EVs sold and still 65% of current vehicles sold last quarter - even with some dramatically cheaper EVs available. As Gigafactories in Austin, Berlin and Shanghai continue to ramp, that's unlikely to change.
