I mostly write Typescript these days, and being lazy, I'll just quote wikipedia, but I'd much rather debug:

const result = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
.filter(n => n % 2 === 0)
.map(a => a * 10)
.reduce((a, b) => a + b);

than:

const numList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
let result = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < numList.length; i++) {
if (numList[i] % 2 === 0) {
result += numList[i] * 10;
}
}

Maybe it doesn't make so much sense in this simple example, probably even less so if you're not familiar with Javascript, but it mostly comes down to the state of what you're working on. In FP you know what you get, how it looks while you're working with it and exactly what to expect as the outcome, in OOP, well, you sort of don't. Reading Wikipedia, though, maybe what I like is called Functional Programming with Higher-order functions and not just Functional Programming?

Like I said. I'm not extremely religious about it, and I do think a lot of OOP design principles and code practices are slowly heading toward a more FP way of thinking. In that way I think it's sort of interesting that you mention Go, because with Go you seem to mostly work with immutable states and functions, rather than mutable objects, which is more functional than imperative programming, but maybe I just haven't worked enough with Go to know better. If you ask me, everything should frankly be immutable by default, but retrain the ability to become mutable like they do it in Rust with the "mut" keyword. I really, really, enjoyed working with that for the brief period I did. Anyway, I'm not sure I'm ever going to get into religious FP, I may very rarely use classes, but it's not like an abstract class can't be healthy for your 17:00 afternoon self once in a while.

But basically every best practice in regards to OOP that I was taught at university back 20+ years ago, the stuff they still teach today (I'm an external examiner a few times a year), has proven to be sort of useless in the real world for me. Maybe it works in more professional or competent organisations but it sure hasn't worked well in any place that I've ever worked, and yes, it does feel sort of dirty to examine people in theories I disagree with, but it's good money and a good way to keep up with both the CS world and possible hires.
Expectations are simply different once you step into the luxury segment.

Tesla, pre Model 3, had real issues that went beyond panel gaps. Modern Tesla is doing much better, but they're competing against established players who differentiate through great interiors and "the little details".

Large portions of this customer segment are willing to trade long term reliability for perceived build quality and overall luxury. Tesla's value proposition, which is great performance and long term reliability at the expense of panel gap size and cheap leather, simply doesn't fit their expectations.

When the guy says stupid stuff, it would be "RUDE" to not correct him. But in his opinion, he thinks it is "rude" to correct him.

He is on a power trip.

I second everything you said about fostering a competitive no bs environment. Reminds me of Jeff Bezos. But Musk's behavior is toxic. Treating people outside the firm (like customers getting into accidents with self drive and losing their life, or journalists critiquing his cars) with disrespect and annihilation is one thing. But treating your own people who you rely on to get stuff done, is entirely another. If the head is garbage, the body is too.

Musk is garbage, and when unbridled, we can see it in its full ugliness.
> That example is a bad one.

No, just saying that it is a bad example doesn't make it.

I wish EA folks looked at the literature that discusses this very example.

> There are many serious risks in trying to do that in practice, which is why our intuitions are against it. E.g. you might be found out and people might mistrust doctors, you might be wrong about the person having to connections, those patients might not live long anyway, etc etc

Yes, that has been discussed thousands of times in the literature.

To answer, you can always have the person confirm they are ok with it (e.g. Switzerland allows physician-assisted suicide in some case).

Replying to my post to reply to all replies... that's a recipe for disaster, IMO.

I wouldn't travel outside a major metro, or on a weekend, without a spare; phone service gets sketchy when rural & the likelihood for monetary abuse by rando Roadside Service providers is likely to be very abusive, as I have experienced 1st hand. I always have a spare tire, jack, plug kit & air pump in my vehicles.

I do travel much, 20-30k miles a year, so I likely experience more issues than average... was zip-tying my shift linkage after a rock bounced up and broke it a couple months back.
> Also the declaration specifies exceptions for libel and national security among others

As I pointed out, Japan's defamation law is painted in such a way as to make it so broad that it affects all speech. Hence, bringing up such an exception is not a refutation of the point but an indictment of the exception itself. As to the "national security" exception, the US's FISA courts are a good example - or should that be bad example? - of why such an exception is easily abused. Have you not heard of Edward Snowden and Wikileaks?

> You can argue that you personally hold a different opinion about what "freedom of speech" is, but I would say that for the vast majority of people using the definition in the dictionary is the correct way.

1. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia

2. If we were talking about the meaning of common words in common use I might agree on relying on a dictionary but we are not

3. Wikipedia is also not a source of truth in a discussion on free speech. If you wish to argue your point then try to steel man it instead of looking for ways to avoid dealing with those made by your opponents, please.

4. The Oxford English dictionary defines "free speech" thus:

> free speech
> noun [mass noun]
> the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint: it violated the first-amendment guarantee of free speech.

That doesn't support your point.

And since you brought it up, my own definition:

Speech can be said to be free when one has the ability to share a view:

- with whom one chooses

- at a time of one's choosing

- without interference or punishment (physical or otherwise) by government or society

and that view is neither maliciously false nor a credible and imminent threat.
I'll use github copilot as an example, it pulls context from your surrounding code files and code in the same file. Something like that gives it the context your thinking of and a similar technique may be able to solve that problem here.
Even their examples seem better off as just templates of different speech patterns. For example Minto pyramid is used, https://untools.co/
Nah, professionals for sure. Think Panama Papers type stuff. Though there are volunteering opportunities through orgs like datakind.
> None of that exists in the crypto space.

Bullshit. It exists, it's just that the UI/UX is awful and most people in the developed world have no need for it. But they do exist. My work on hub20 [0] is exactly that, to have a system that would let people and communities create their actual self-custodial "crypto banks".

I think that will depend on the school. My daughter went to two, on opposite sides of the country: one was filled with super nice parents, the other had a lot more pretension.

We would keep a record of the person to whom we sent the memo — and beside his name we would jot the unique word that was in his memo. Do you see what I’m driving at? When the memo goes out, the person here who is betraying us will pass it on word for word to de Vroome, isn’t that so? Your informer in de Vroome’s headquarters would learn of it and report back to you. Since no memorandum would be precisely the same as the others, because of the single word change, you’d look for the different word in the memo de Vroome received and be able to find out the person who had passed on his copy of the memo.

Telnet should not be used anymore. Its an old protocol, and not suitable for today especially in the case of security. You can easily migrate to ssh.

almost as good as the odds that he got something pretty close, then changed the details a bit to fit the narrative.

or, he stayed up for two days until he got it exactly to match by tweaking his approach a little at a time, and actually matched it to the right person. Honestly, he seems like he'd do this.
IANAL, but it would seem to me this license covers the model itself and not output of the model.

This is a copyright license for the model, so I think that should just mean you can't sell the model or a derivative of the model.

I guess when it's released you have to fill out some form or click some box to accept some license agreement, that in practice is a contract saying you won't use it for commercial purposes, but if you were to just download it from somewhere your only restrictions would be on redistributing it, but not on its use.

Not entirely sure if this is correct though.
I imagine you can get an "anonymous tech industry insider" to say absolutely anything including the exact opposite statement. Another issue with the statement is the fact it is an opinion using an undefined metric.
> The technical knowledge needed to generate pgp or ssh keys is much higher than using a web UI to create a crypto wallet.

Aren’t they all essentially the same? As in you can do any of those using the same library?

The main problem is nobody is throwing big piles of money at a ssh keygen API but a wallet generator, who do I make the check out to?
> The reason you think piracy is ok is because you don't associate the crime with the victim.

piracy is a victimless crime. you were not going to buy the license anyway, so its not a lost digital sale for the creator. additionally digital copies cost exactly nothing to make so nobody lost anything in the pirated transaction.

I think you misunderstood me, or I didn't articulate myself well (maybe because I went to a public school?).

The article says that the reason parents are flocking to this school is because of the high test scores. I was curious what they are doing in the first place to achieve that.
The code examples shown here are highly confusing, and would benefit greatly from code comments. One of the most nonsensical trends I've seen in programming is the notion that 'code should explain itself' and if it's well-written, extensive comments are unnecessary.

The best way to improve this post would be to append comments to each discrete code section, explaining clearly what other code sections it interacts with, what it's intended to do, and any other notes needed to clarify the functionality.
You wouldn't do that though, would you? You'd type the thing up, print it, see that the printer received a 4.7 KB (or whatever) doc and look for a 4-6 KB doc the week of the leak, and then you have 100 documents to go through, rather than 100000.
This isn't limited to EVs, though, right? My 2012 VW TDI won't open without a key fob (even though the ignition is still key-driven). How is that a "feature?" Just let me unlock the door with my key. I am very much against "infotainment" systems, and I wonder if some makers will begin/continue to offer models that do not have a tablet in the middle of the dash.
I’m highly sceptical about the claims around muslims burning non islamic books. They had their own golden age while Europe was in the dark ages.

We know from various sources that Islamic scholars made quiet a contribution to science back in the day. A cursory glance on google provided this compact guide https://www.metmuseum.org/learn/educators/curriculum-resourc...

In particular the bit around medicine. I’m sure there are more in depth references available.
“The industry” also had decades of time to perfect their process, and afaik there isn’t some giant knowledge-sharing system in place for new manufacturers to get all the insights of “the industry”.

A new car manufacturer is going to have issues in fit and finish for the first few years regardless as they figure out their tooling process.

I’m sure quality was sacrificed to some extent, everyone does it whenever they can, but I wouldn’t expect a new company to be at the same level as one that’s been doing it for decades.
I'm not sure that you can square the "EA is precisely donating to best reviewed charities" and "tens of millions to AI safety is money well spent."

A huge problem is that people are developing this longtermism prediction model based on nothing more than sci-fi books and hunches. You need only look at how seriously places like SSC take Roko's Basilisk to see that they aren't modeling the future of AI in a reasonable way.

It is like donating to an organization that will prevent Vulcan, God of Volcanoes from destroying civilization.

Yes, government is bad at optimizing for moral good. Which is why billionaires should give their wealth to their own workers. If Tim Cook paid the people building iPhones more it would do far more good than him donating the money that comes from increased margins to some charity. The workers could decide what they need for themselves!

Instead, the idea seems to be that people are not properly qualified to identify their own needs and such decision need to be made by funneling profits to a CEO who then has superior knowledge of how to help the world and donates that money as he sees fit.
It’s great long term marketing though.
How much did you paid for the broker fee ?
Brands help consumers make reliable purchasing decisions. Amazon fucks this up all the time by trying to homogenize products and force you to discriminate on ad placement and price. Look at any category of consumer packaged goods on Amazon. If I search for “stroller rain cover” I get back 1000 identical products with identical fake ratings. Making a choice is hard, and if I make the wrong one my baby gets lead poisoning.

Branding lets me use my past experiences to make that decision process easier. I don’t want to have to look at technical specs and try to SAT solve for the optimal choice in my head or play secret hitler and read 1000s of ratings.
had the exact same thought. if anyone works in-office and has the time/capacity (don't get fired) to do this with some colleagues, it'd be a fun and interesting experiment!
My former coworker called it “making your own ball and chain”, and he is a prime example of this as well. He was very good as SAP and ABAP development, so most SAP work would get assigned to him because he can have it done faster than anyone else. Which also means no one else is getting much experience or training on SAP. And because he is always busy with SAP, he never gets trained on anything else either. Leaving was not a realistic option due to lack of experience in any development outside of SAP and SAP setup and customizations being very specific to the industry and the company.
I hope we don't end up with the same things as the java world. JDK9 removed and moved to a library a few things like JAXB. Since JDK11, every new version is harsher for programs that use reflection to mess with non-published internals. Both are good changes, BTW.

In theory, you add a few libs and you're ready to upgrade. In practice, adding libs at scale is hard, and quite a few dependencies of dependencies of ... are using reflection to mess with internals.

As a result, there are still a lot of enterprise applications on JDK8 and JDK11, even if the security impact of this is bad and the fix should be easy.

For a typical example: see https://github.com/x-stream/xstream/issues/101

I was a hardcore Airbnb user back in the day, but now I’ve reverted back to using hotels when travelling.

The prices are now pretty much the same, the discovery process is better when using hotel search engines such as booking.com and the overall quality and ratings can be easily cross-checked on multiple websites.

Compare that to the risk of having a crappy airbnb, whose ratings are of course skewed upwards, since they are the only ones in control.

Also, the airbnb website has become a slow unusable mess nowadays.

The map takes ages to load and scroll, it hides cheaper places by default and also doesnt include the fees that get tacked on in the end.
Definitely locks the user in, pushes engagement up, probably pushes the creation of new "blocks" up, etc. Defends against google docs doing it to them?
I am a professional artist who has been working with Adobe's tools since the turn of the century and let me assure you: Adobe's apps always take forever to cold-start. Always.

I recently got an M2 Air and Illustrator loads the fastest it ever has - I'm staring at the splash screen for all of five seconds before it's ready to get to work. Normally it's been more like 20-120 seconds for the past decade. I am quite sure Adobe will find a way to make their apps take several minutes to start up on the M2.

As a consequence, Illustrator cold-starts when I log in; the only time it stops running is if it crashes, or if I need to quit it to update plugins or the app itself. If I go off and do something else for a while it quietly gets swapped to disc by the system; the instant I switch back, it gets swapped into memory, ready to get back to work.
> Electric cars are already beating Hydrogen vehicles on price.

Aim for where the ball will be, not where it is. But also don't take your eye off it.

> Also, batteries will certainty get cheaper.

While I share this opinion, my certainty is only at the level of "yeah, sounds likely", which is not appropriate for a discussion about what to invest in.

> And the problem you mention is equally solve by people taking on bigger loans and paying more interest instead of paying for gas.

Poor people get the worst rates and the least options, including in some cases no option to get loans.
You really can’t conceive of a world where Elon’s actions soiled his reputation?

You think all of this is just some narrative being pushed, or are you just sensing a shift in public opinion and since it’s a deviation from the norm you are assigning it to some unknown “force?”
This is another point. People who have been at twitter have known what works and what does not. Elon comes out of nowhere, thinks he knows better, and has people actually spend countless hours extra on these stupid ideas. And then spend extra, extra hours to reverse and try something else.

Ridiculous IMO.
I read also read reviews, and while I agree with your conclusions I also think the reviewers still loved it! Mediocre in that you don't get many bells and whistles, less capable because you have a smaller bed, lower towing capacity, and can't be beat to hell like some older trucks. But affordability, size, and utility make it a hit.
I don't get the infotainment software thing. Am I an outlier by just wanting the dumbest possible system for my phone to connect to and run CarPlay on? I don't want anything the car maker added, not even radio.
> Is it not just the case that there simply hasn't been enough time to work out the kinks?

Obviously. Any such report (accurate or otherwise) would show you a snapshot of how things are right now. It won't tell you why or predict how the reliability might change.

It makes perfect sense that Tesla would still need to iron out issues related to build quality (unlike automakers who have been working on those for decades), and that other automakers would have to iron out issues related to the electric drive train (less experience in that front).
Fuel cells are only useful for automotive applications, on the grid you want combined cycle gas turbines which are cheaper and more efficient. That still only gets round trip efficiency to about 25%.
Is it outperforming the market though?
