The EV drive trains are simpler, but they've come along with some silly bits like having to electronically open the glove box from the infotainment screen. Is that mechanism going to last 20 years? How about the pop-out door handles? I'm not optimistic.

I'm sure the police are going to love that one. "License and registration?" "Sorry officer, they're in the glove compartment and when I tap the button it just makes an angry grinding noise."

I wouldn't be surprised if that's, like, the modal experience people have with the movement. But that, too, is how Scientology works!

I'm reacting to messages circulating about the whisper campaign among EA higher-ups, many of which are explicit about the fact that they didn't warn the public about Sam Bankman-Fried because EA-the-movement would ostracize them, not just from their community but also from their jobs. I'm not making those messages up. Maybe they're completely disconnected from reality? There's several of them, from several different people, though, so it'll take something more compelling than "it is unpleasant to be compared to Scientology" to refute my lying eyes.

EA even has its own Xenu: it's just called AGI.
Only for things bought and sold through amazon. If you get something sent directly from a seller returns have you print out a label.
You don't need to use it directly for it to play an important role. If you have the green hydrogen you can convert it to methane or ammonia, which have less issues in storage and transport. Methane is already widely used for bus transportation, although extracting CO2 from the air efficiently enough to create methane from the hydrogen is its own issue.

Anberic: 5.98 x 2.8 x 0.71 inches

GBA: Approximately 145 mm (5.7 in) x 82 mm (3.2 in) x 24 mm (0.94 in) (WxHxD)

Not exactly the same, but very close.

I wonder if you could drop the internals for the anberic into a gba frame
Let me explain why the window snapping thing is a problem.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US9239667B2/en?q=window+si...

It's such a dumb complaint. OSS is just infringing the patent, that's it. That is why no other commercial OS has it out of the box.

As for the rest, sure...but like a lot of them are just silly complaints. Android uses Microsoft's PNP connectivity for data transfer. Once again...OSS.. The Scroll wheel direction thing is eh, personally I use both natural but I get it. The volume button thing has to do something with the display. I have a number of displays including a TCL TV that do have volume control. But fair. That 3rd party bit is a little silly and based on software acquisition preference, Windows also falls into that. I would rather a system that doesn't assume access to user data, it prevents malicious scripts on normal user's machines from just reading data willy-nilly. The accessibility thing is a little silly and needs better names on Apple's part but needing to give software permission is a strong security model.
I believe the printer logs would contain the size of a Postscript-like equivalent, not the docx itself. I wonder if the story is missing the detail of submitting the new Word file to a printer and checking the size. Or he fired someone random where Word doc size == printer input size.

I think you are stuck with writing your front end in Javascript but you could write a back end in anything. If you are starting from zero you might try writing your back end in Javascript too because that way you only have to learn one language.
The EV transition is all about improvements in battery technology which Tesla had nothing to do with.

A big chunk of Tesla’s early revenue was selling drivetrains to over EV companies. The transition was real and Tesla successfully road the wave, props to a successfully executed business strategy but technology wise it really didn’t change much.

People talk about the EV1, but the Toyota RAV4 EV was produced from 1997–2003, and then 2012–2014 the second version was even a collaboration with Tesla. Where it failed was not targeting the sports car market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV
The lack of spare tires is correlated with the increase in tire size, IMO. My first car was a 1987 Mazda with 14" tires. It was a two seat sports car, with a tiny spare mounted vertically. They could do that since it was 14".

Modern sports cars are 18-20" and the spare tire is a big cargo compromise.

To give more context to the story about my son: I didn't at all give him some overbearing lecture. I simply read the page to him as if it were regular story-time and let him make the decision, which he did with remarkable swiftness.

That's good advice about phobia/obsession.

My daughter is a bit weird about germs. For example the other day, I was handling a deer skull that we found in the backyard, and she was a little put out that I touched a doorknob before washing my hands.

As a kid, I was the same way with germs. As an adult, I'm probably still a bit overly cautious. When COVID happened, I joked that it wasn't OCD, but rather it was training for a pandemic.

My observation of her behavior makes me wonder if it's a nature vs. nurture thing with her. Nurture: Did I accidentally teach her my phobia. Nature: does her brain (like mine) ruminate about everything, leading to phobias when the topic of ruminations is a scary thing like germs.
I’m a bit skeptical of the study, however I’ve long suspected that a lot of what happens at work is simply part of a set of special social expectations, and actually pretty disconnected from productivity.

In your experience, are these improvements available to existing code bases, green field projects, or both?
> Am curious what peoples experiences from Montessori transitioning to other education systems was like and how they perceived the school worked or didn't for then? Have some children decisions and looking for outside opinions! Thanks!

I went through something similar through the end of high school. I did, however, go through public school for elementary.

My experiences mirror a lot of what others on here have already written. The transition to back to traditional education (university) wasn't an issue.

If you are already motivated, going from a low to moderately more rigorous style of learning is easy.

The issue is going in the other direction, which is why so many first year university students fail.
lol I love how the specific complaint is what 99% of businesses do in practice while the OP post complains about coping an R binary.
How does this particular list of very minor gripes get so many upvotes? And it's not just minor gripes, half of them are wrong. Some of them have been addressed by others, but:

* Taking screenshots requires to click the preview in order to copy to clipboard, which also causes to save it to Desktop.

No, it doesn't.

* Surprising lack of apps in the store

Says someone defending KDE? But hey, strangely enough I'm typing this in Firefox. I've got Teams running, and Zoom. There really is more than one way to install an app.

* The stupid amount of app icons in the "tray" bar. Not collapsible, not hideable.

What does that mean? There's no tray bar. Is it the menu? Is it the Dock? In both cases, it's untrue, or the writer means something else.

* No easy way to open a path in Finder

Cmd-shift-G or Go > Go to folder isn't easy enough? What's KDE's super brilliant solution?

* Finder: no side by side view for easily moving stuff between unrelated folders/paths

Can't open two windows?

And even if all were true, it misses so many other points, it's embarrassing. What OP means is: I've got a fixed workflow, and now I have to learn a few new shortcuts.
So you get a new eMMC which dies in a few years again? Or did they fix the software as well?
This is completely and utterly wrong. There are simply no supporters of free speech who differentiate it from "hate" speech, only the opponents of free speech do that so let's have nothing so mendacious enter the discussion. Freedom of speech is required in order to protect speech that others would prefer not to be expressed - no protection is needed for inoffensive speech, what would be the point!

As to "the rest of the civilized world", as pointed out several times now, very little of the "civilized" world has strong speech protections. Germany? Laws against Holocaust denial and defamatory fake news[1], which sounds Orwellian. France isn't pro-free speech either[2]. The UK has the backwards Communication Act and libel laws that are criticised the world over[3], leading to hundreds of convictions a year[4], including for posting your favourite rap lyrics[5]. Canada's free speech protections are anything but[6]. Australia has "less protection of free speech than most Western countries" according to a former High Court judge and there are raids on journalists[7], which we know happens in the US all too regularly[8] as well despite its much lauded first amendment. Italy charges writers for expressing opinions[9]. Perhaps I could complete the G8 with the state of free speech in Russia? Or you'd like to move on to places like Norway that only managed to get rid of its lese majeste laws in 2015? Or Thailand that still has them. Germany only got rid of its lese majeste laws in 2018 after a dictator tried to use them against a satririst, which brings us full circle and we haven't even touched the worst parts of the world.

I had never heard of Montessori schools before this thread so I'm sure there is more going on than I'm aware of - but I wanted to point out that what you describe here:

> school had about 15-25 kids / class year. Some of the larger years were split into two groups with separate teachers. Every year, maybe one or two kids left to go to other schools and one or two new kids joined, but for the most part I grew up with the same core set of children for several years.

seems perfectly normal from a UK primary school perspective (up to age 11 or 12 depending on the area). I'm surprised to hear that kids younger than that age would be expected to have larger peer groups in the US.
Most of these employees aren't hourly, they're salary.
If you want to work for a narcissistic sociopath, you need to think like one - which explains why there are always some people who don't mind him.

That is, you should have something to gain from being seen and used as a tool and not care about the consequences of enabling the success of such leaders or businesses, respectively.

Working in small teams with talented people focused on a goal while always having the ear of someone in charge is not unique to Elon. He himself has just had the means both in talent and financially to recognize the needs of a market where the established supply was unwilling to give up its control.
The problem with that image is it gives no reasoning for its categorization. Putting the use cases on a specific energy and energy density plot would convey that more naturally.
That's data flow, which is fine: the dependency is explicit, checked by the compiler, and maintained regardless of where the code lives.

For example, if 'foo = g(x)' is defined in one module, and another module does 'f(foo)', then the data flow is preserved. If we try to force things to be the wrong way round, we'll get compiler errors like 'No such variable foo'.

Compare that to temporal ordering of statements; if one module executes 'g(x)' and another executes 'f()', how do we ensure the latter occurs after the former? How could the compiler tell us if they're the wrong way around? Very difficult.
> I think a lot of the friction you mentioned comes from learning imperative programming first. Our vocabulary, tools, and even requirements come with an implicit imperative assumption.

Yes that's exactly my point and why no one cares about how great a monad is when trying to learn FP.
I've been using computers since Windows 95 and I personally find KDE to be the most confusing and broken DE that I've tried.

Simply try to edit/move the bottom bar in edit mode, or change the global theme, and watch it fall apart.
I think there are 2 different, yet related, ideas in your question:

1) People are attached to brands

2) People consume advertisements interchangeably with content.

For both of these, I believe they are consequences from "too many choices". This article [1] from the American Psychological Association covers it well, "In fact, some researchers find that too much choice can actually lead people to take less positive risks in making selections and to use simplifying strategies in lieu of more considered choices."

I view "brands" as a pretty reliable way to take a mental shortcut to minimize risk. Instead of making a choice "I want to buy a product in X category, let me compare and contrast each individual item to see which one is the best", you can say "I want to buy a product in X category, let me see if there's a brand I trust which sells it". Note: You can replace "buy a product" with "choose a movie" for your Marvel example and the result is pretty much the same.

With respect to the blurring of content and advertisement, there are entire teams of people working hard to make that distinction not only blurry, but also irrelevant from the consumers perspective. I really enjoyed Johann Hari's book "Stolen Focus" [2], where he explains the point of a medium (books vs TV vs twitter vs instagram) is actually more important in how the content is shaped and how your brain process it, than the actual content being pushed over that medium. Warning: it's extremely possible I am absolutely butchering this point, so if you completely disagree with it, take that more as "tom is bad at explaining it" instead of "Hari is peddling garbage ideas". :)

That's terrible advice lol

My god! --you're right. This is so much better and clearer than using those boring old fashioned words.
Or all other goods and services, for that matter, in a market economy.
Yes they have. This is confirmation bias.
> We watch Marvel movie after Marvel movie where each one is advertising for the next movie.

How is a Marvel movie an ad for the next movie any more than a chapter in a book is an ad for the next chapter or an Act in a play is a an ad for the next act?

The entire idea of the MCU is an integrated universe.

And please don’t go off tsk tsking “people today”. What do you think all of the cartoons in the 80s were except for an ad for toys?

And next up the false meme that “cable use to be ad free”…
According to StackOverflow the conda 3.10 bug was fixed this January. https://stackoverflow.com/a/70614013/733092
Does it matter if the people taking Adderall actually have ADHD or just take it for fun? My wife takes it and neither her cognitive function nor risk appetite seem greater than normal because of it. It just means she can walk in a straight line for more than 10 feet without wandering off at the first shiny object she sees. I tried a single pill once and felt like I was about to have a heart attack within an hour. Didn't seem to have quite the same effect. As far as I can tell for people who actually have ADHD, the biggest negative side effect is the dependence. Without it now, she'll sleep 20 hours a day.
I have no reliable information about the current modus operandi under Musk, nor about modus operandi of any of his companies. I just have a vague feeling derived from the random information about his companies and employees I've read over the years.

It's very possible that it's just smoke and mirrors, but if I were given an offer, I'd at least try it for a while. If it's true, I gain a lot - if it's false, I gain a useful reference in my CV.
To be really secure when leaking typed documents, I get 5 colleagues together and we whisper the leak along the line, so that many of the words are changed by the end. For each word we are randomly spaced to defeat Musk's space-based detection.

We then take the output of this and transcribe it over an old HAM radio to a friend in China. He lives on a farm, so he then dictates it to a chicken who writes it in the sand. He quickly takes a picture before the wind erases it.

He then contacts a US media publisher under the name 'Whu Lee K', and they print it as is! What a wonderful time to be alive.
Define "best"?
Not sure how the Not Invented Here syndrome would help in this case.

I think what could potentially be vapor is the money in the valuations. In two years, Tesla went from 75billion market cap to 1 trillion, in the middle of a pandemic. How can a car company, of any kind, suddenly be delivering 925 billion dollars more value to the world. Tesla is one of the biggest car manufacturers by market cap, yet almost every other car company is out-producing them by a landslide, and even as industrial conglomerates they're valued at much less than Tesla which is practically quaint by comparison to say, Toyota's operations.

So valuation comes from speculation of course, but what are people speculating will happen? If Toyota, the biggest car manufacturer in the world, is valued less than Tesla is now, then the end goal of Tesla matching or besting Toyota's operations should see it's real value be... much less than it currently is.

Now incumbent manufacturers are delivering EVs and in brands, form-factors and levels of quality more people can care about, I just don't see how Tesla is differentiated in a way that even remotely justifies it's valuation.
Hydrogen has potential to be better than BEV. Do you know how much money went to BEV and it might be written away if hydrogen fuel cells turns out to be viable?

Better make some negative PR towards hydrogen.
Very small anecdotal experience, but I was in Montessori school for grades 2-3 (in the late 80s) and it ruined my math education. When I should have been learning the standard ways to do basic math, they were teaching me nonsense like "skip counting" with rhymes. Despite coming from a family of people very good at math (which also put a focus on math education at an early age), I fell behind and never caught up.
On a modern computer, all copying & pasting between programs would do is just create an exact trail of what is on your computer. Copy -> Paste is not metadata free by any means.

If your final target was Notepad or similar, it should drop all the metadata. But in that case, just start with Notepad.
An amateur film student making an artistic film to tell a story is a lot different than Disney making $1.5 billion dollars on a single Avengers movie. Everything in the latter case is calculated. The parks will get new areas and rides, new merch will get created, video game partnerships, action figures and comic books, etc. That shifts the narrative from entertainment for the sake of entertainment towards revenue for the sake of revenue. I am not saying this is good or bad, but it is important to be able to see the distinction. Intention is important.
My child has been homeschooled and many of the other homeschooling families I have talked to have used Montessori. My primary impression is that it varies a _lot_ from one Montessori school to another, and there isn't much preventing someone from claiming that their private school is "Montessori". So while it's great that you are asking for feedback on HN, make sure also to find out the inside scoop about the _particular_ Montessori school you are considering.
surely you must mean 15-20 hours per week?

The only thing we need hydrogen for is for chemical industry. And that is enough demand already for hydrogen production plans.

Beyond that you don't need it. Not needed for the waste majority of the things you suggest.

And often there are better solution then using hydrogen directly. For remote construction sites, just turn your hydrogen into anther syn fuel like methanol and run a conventional generator to power electric construction methods.

Hydrogen will be a niche use-case in all the areas you mentioned. And there are so many more important things to do.

For example, for construction, electrified railroads transporting all that gravel around rather then diesel.

> And if it was easy to self-improve and artificial intelligence, we would have figured it out, we'd be artificially improving ourselves by now, but we haven't, because it's not that easy, and for the most part we are probably limited by the laws of physics

There are three big things that stand in the way of human improvement that do not for AI. The first is reproducibility, you can't make a few copies of a starting state of a human and run them with different parameters to observe the results. The second is ethics, you can't try out a bunch of genetic tweaks on babies because one might have bad side effects. The third is observability. People complain about how much of a black box modern AIs are but you can still see it working and figure out what layers do what.

> We're going to create AGI, and they're going to be different from us, they're going to be different from us in radical ways, but they're still going to have their own form of emotions, goals, desires, influences, and so on.

I am surprised this reassures you. A race of humans that have perfect memory and can copy themselves would be a terrifying thing.
Why wait for AI to take over when you can have people run the same calculations and come to the same conclusions?
Yes because in the good ole days, entertainment use to be done for altruistic reasons.

That's like saying that it's a technical advance if I make an engine powered by burning dollar bills. Yes, technically it's a thing which did not previously exist before but people do not have the problem of solving double-spending without trusting third-parties. People have problems like paying rent or selling things online — and it's quite conspicuous that when you ask Bitcoin users what they use it for other than speculation, you almost never hear an answer where you couldn't swap PayPal into the same sentence interchangeably. Now, at some point it could be cheaper but that's hardly the revolutionary advance promised in the marketing literature.
