You're claiming that the security issue detailed in the article will be fixed through the Play Store, for devices no longer receiving updates from the device maker?

There are advantages to the iOS model of six years of full support followed by security updates for many years later, especially when an actively exploited issue is discovered.

I don't know what your situation is, but here's mine:

Got a Model 3 back in 2020. The service I've had to get done to date has been what's in the user manual: tire rotation, cabin air filter replacement and brake fluid check. That's it! No down time other than the few hours per service visit (for which they paid me equivalent of $50 USD to travel from and to the service center on each visit).

And I've used 90% Superchargers to charge and despite that, saved a lot on gas.

A close friend of ours drove for a food service delivery company.

He picked up a load in the morning, drove a few hundred kilometre highway/city route with a dozen stops during the day, and parked back at the depot at end of day.

Perfect for the Tesla Semi.

There are hundreds of trucks doing similar routes just in our metropolitan area.

There is a huge potential market for these trucks.

Given that teerak explicitly says:

> I personally blame social media and camera phones for this. [...] people taking the same photo 100 times with slightly different poses. Wannabe influencers using their boyfriends as personal photographers. Youtubers being loud

I think my interpretation, that teerak is complaining about social media and camera phones, is better supported by data - namely, the text of the post - than your rather uncharitable interpretation that he or she preferred a time when the world was less connected, and one’s ability to travel was dictated more by wealth, status, and education

I actually asked before seeing your comment:

Me: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Is Socrates mortal?

AI: Yes, Socrates is mortal.

Me: Are you mortal?

AI: Yes, I am mortal.

Me: Are you alive?

AI: Yes, I am alive.

Me: Do you biologically age?

AI: Yes, I biologically age.

Me: Are you software?

AI: No, I am not software.

Started off all right, I guess. It seems it can recognize basic syllogistic logic if the don't stereotype people filter isn't triggered, but then it immediately starts telling falsehoods anyway.
Just as that quote is over-optimistic, I think you’re over-pessimistic.

Specifically, with regard to energy, PV went from 70.5 GW to 850 GW between 2010 and 2020, while the cost per Watt of a module went from $1-2 to $0.1-0.2 in the same period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics

But yeah, from a purely technological point of view and disregarding all the politics relating to this that have actually held this back in the real world, we could’ve fixed most of today’s pressing disease issues — and probably all hunger, clean water, and education issues — decades ago, perhaps even before 1900, but certainly by 1950.
Tesla offered a discount in order to that people do not wait until buying in January when a new credit becomes available to people. And this is in a tiny part of the global market as well.

To jump from 'company offers discount' to 'company is dead' is literally the dumbest fucking argument I have ever heard. Seriously wtf.

Also they literally made record profit last quarter and are expected to make record profit this quarter all while still growing rapidly for a company this large.

Claiming Tesla is a dead company is really the height of idiocy. Like if you don't like Musk that fine, but really just denying reality because of that makes you look like very foolish.

I'm not sure if that says a lot about ChatGPT or about founders.
The lack of listing is fine, so long as the second half of the sentence, which you didn't quote, doesn't apply.

If the system matches on substrings, then you need to know what to avoid - you can't even self-censor, if everything is ambiguous. You end up with the memes of getting banned from Club Penguin, otherwise.

Except, Club Penguin does as you suggest - it tells you that you used a "rude or inappropriate word". Even if the regex is matching something that it shouldn't.
Lots of EU countries have their intelligence agencies doing close cooperation with five eyes (NSA and equivalent agencies of the smaller countries) and willing to turn a blind eye or actively collude in compromising security of IT infra in the EU. Or going further, a oft reported pattern is that when they want to spy on their own citizens but are forbidden by law, they ask the foreign allies to do the dirty work of spying on their soil and pass back the intelligence.
I don't care about that. If they can't learn a (non-"simple") system then they won't have a good knowledge base anyway.

> all of the extra information that comes with being visual

I think the key is to not make everything visual. You want to be able to view your system as you would draw it on a whiteboard. I believe it could be done using a restricted syntax of a proglang.

> Teams I've been close to lately have taken the python pill...

Most people have a desired result and want it as fast as possible.

When imperatively using map, groupBy, filter, you can usually get the immediate result you want very quickly. This is the appeal of Pandas, Python notebooks, etc.

But when someone asks: I want to re-compute on change, which pretty much applies to every task...their quick solution is not optimal.

And then if the schema changes, and you're doing all this intermediary stuff...then refactoring is next to impossible.

Any SQL query could also be written in an imperative prog lang and its probably easier to understand and tweak and also trace. An SQL relation does not maintain any info about its source, which then makes incremental updates difficult, and also refactoring.

You can basically ask the question: for every piece of data you see in your company, can you easily see the "data lineage" from its source and all the transformations it was involved in, and how clean and efficient is this pipeline when receiving new data. Then a step further is, how easy is it to change something.
This is certainly interesting. I've been using DO for something like 8 years and I really like them.

I don't plan to switch but Hetzner offers a CPU optimized server with 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of memory for $17 USD / month. DigitalOcean offers the same thing for $56 USD / month. It's hard to ignore how much of a difference that is.

Even the smaller'ish instances have a huge difference. Hetzner has a 2 CPU core 4 GB of memory server for $6.75 USD / month. DO offers the same thing for $24 USD / month and that's using the worse grade CPU. If you pick the higher end AMD CPU it's $28 a month (which sounds similar to what Hetzen is using but ~4x less price). For perspective DO's $7 USD / month price point gives you 1 CPU and 1 GB of memory.

Edit: As someone brought up in the comments below, it's possible that the Hetzner price ends up being ~25% cheaper due to not charging VAT. This will depend where you live. I converted Euros to USD on Google based on their public pricing page https://www.hetzner.com/cloud as a US site visitor.

Some source to backup this number? Are they actually in prison?

IMO the fact that we should be skeptic about China official stats means that we should also refrain from throwing random numbers at the wall hoping it will make China look bad.

BTW, two wrongs don't make a right, it's not about what they do wrong, it's about what we do better, like for example, is Guantanamo acceptable in a western democracy?
Frankly, we have no idea. If the manufacturers know, they're not telling us. I've seen dozens of failed SSDs and their failure modes are completely different from rotating disks and almost always lead to complete or significant data loss with little to no warning.

What numbers we have show that failure rates are low, but honestly I would give it another decade or two before using SSD for persistent data storage (of important data without backups to rotating disks). I don't think we're there yet.
Take a look at kubeone. We are fairly happy running production loads on K8s distributed across Hetzner DCs...
It's order of magnitude, easily.

For example - if you live in a commie-block - you don't need and often you don't have the option to own multiple cars per family. Often you don't own a car at all. Parking space is at premium and walking/public transport solves most of your transporting needs anyway.

So that's the difference between producing 1.75 cars per family vs let's say 0.75 in the city. And then driving let's say 5000 km per year vs let's say 30 000 km per year. And changing these cars every 3 years vs every 6 years.

Heating is another thing. Surface area of my block is maybe 4 times the surface area of a detached house. But it houses 16 times more people.

But that's nitpicking. The big thing is infrastructure.

How many km of roads, cables, pipes, etc do you need per 1 detached house vs 1 flat in a commie block? How much concrete and steel do you use for that? How much energy is spent building and maintaining that infrastructure over the years?

My 4-stories commie block houses 16 families in a plot that would be roughly equivalent to a plot where 1 detached house would stand in the countryside. And it's pretty low-density as far as city planning goes. You could easily make it much denser. There's a small park and a playground in that plot of land.

So that's ~1/16th the infrastructure to service the same number of people compared to the countryside. And building the infrastructure is cheap compared to maintaining it for decades. The real unsustainable part of suburbia is maintaining all the extra infrastructure that low population density housing requires.

If anything - 1 order of magnitude was an underestimate.
What's the "China situation"?

A little frightening really. I do love the fact that it produces a whole load of really rather plausible technical and sales pitch content, then when it comes to the AI generated logo and name it's called stuff like 'Cloaud ShiVore'. Makes it like a joke with a fantastic punchline.
How do you know they didn't take any of that into account?

In every single field lots of studies have been done on electric vehicles of all kinds, including cars, trucks, vans and planes. And every single time, electric vehicles show that they are cheaper to maintain.

> but commercial trucks already have processes for maintenance.

And I'm sure they would like to get ride of as many of those processes as possible.
Why do you consider this trend dangerous? Where is the danger exactly?

The vast majority of inadequate professionals are already being filtered out as companies have realized this trend and are increasing their interview standards accordingly.

Within the year I predict innumerable marketeers will type a sentence (“our blue baseball cap will help you get laid”), which is then expanded by some LLM into a full sales pitch, then compressed while being transmitted, then decompressed for display in a browser that automatically summarizes it into a single sentence (“advertiser wants you to buy hat”).

Perhaps it will be ad block and reader mode that boil out the puffery and filler.

Note that all the processing of expansion, compression, expansion, summarization, and its associated power consumption will, per Bastiat, add to the gdp.
I think it makes more sense to give figures for consumption rather than distance/energy, as we're usually more interested in how much fuel it will cost us to travel a certain distance. Bit like going into a sweet shop and having all the sweet's price as "100 per dollar" or "35 per dollar" etc..

It also helps to compare costs, as 20mpg is far less efficient to 30pmg than 30mpg is to 40mpg, but the numbers suggest the difference is similar.

Its writing style is also trite, dry, verbose and tedious not to mention, the penchant for run-on sentences and blocks/walls of text.

I know that it's been tailored to output like this by its own creators to suit this medium of communication with the public, and it can likely to be tweaked to be less uptight and more laid-back in its verbal communications style, if necessary but I am not quite sold exactly on its potential to exceed human intellectual powers.

I mean, don't get me wrong it's still quite impressive and fascinating but not really superhuman, at least not yet.
What a disingenuous analogy to make, between Tesla that has delivered time and time again and surpassed expectations, led the market for the past 10 years and continues to outsell all of its century old competitors, with Theranos which burnt investor money and never produced a working machine, ever.
I've been asking it some popular science / physics related questions, like:

"If the moon was compressed into the size of a soccer ball, would it be dangerous to be close to it ?"

Its answer:
"If the moon were compressed into the size of a soccer ball, it would be extremely dangerous to be close to it. The moon is made up of rock and other materials, and if it were compressed into a much smaller size, the resulting density would be much higher. This would cause the moon to become incredibly dense and heavy, with a gravitational pull that would be much stronger than it is currently.

If you were close to a compressed moon that was the size of a soccer ball, the gravitational force would be so strong that it would be impossible for you to escape. You would be pulled towards the moon with such force that you would be crushed by the intense pressure. In addition, the moon would be incredibly hot due to the pressure, so even if you were able to withstand the gravitational force, you would be burned by the intense heat. Overall, it would be extremely dangerous to be close to a compressed moon."
I mentioned it in a previous comment. It's common for senior engineers not to write that much code. They spend time their time on meetings, planning, creating architectures, presenting solutions, discussing solutions, triaging, keeping up-to-date with tech, clarifying business cost, working on waste avoidance, reviewing code, streamlining processes, vetting new tech/solutions and, in general, understanding everything that is going on.

ChatGPT+ will definitely have some affect on junior devs but us more experience folk should be fine... for now..

I don't buy this. Advertising is effective but advertising alone wouldn't have been enough to build this much momentum. This is all academic, but I don't consider most people idiots. I think most people installed Chrome because it had features they wanted or a technical person in their life recommended it. I was one of those technical people recommending Chrome.
I make and sell software to truck fleets too :)

I've seen some fleets plan their fuel stops using software to take advantage of fuel card discounts they get at certain gas stations, which helps stretch the single digit margins you mentioned. I can see this kind of software being extended to EV charge planning as well.

The trick for me was to start enjoying the healthy food. Asparagus and cauliflower suck, but add some bacon to it, dip it in sriracha, and eat it as a side with a juicy steak and it’s suddenly not that bad!

I don’t enjoy sweets or fast food though, so that makes things a bit easier for me. And thank god for Coke Zero.

I think this is the crucial point, just as in all AI applications the way it deals with corner cases will decide its impact on the job market. And corner cases are usually where AI has consistently been performing badly.

Just as a reminder, after we had spectacular results on ImageNet, highly respected AI researchers were predicting the end of the radiologist occupation. Turns out that even when some state-of-the-art CV classification algorithm is used on any kind of scan, you still need a radiologist to look at the image basically in the same way as before.

If you write large-scale applications with the help of a system like ChatGPT you will still need to create accurate test coverage and an understanding of the problem that is essentially equivalent to that of the people writing the code themselves. Whether all of this would in the end actually lead to large enough productivity increases depends on how error-prone the AI generated code will be and given that it takes a lot more time to dig into unfamiliar codebases than those you've written yourself, I think it's anything but obvious that this will have a huge overall impact on the industry. But obviously I might be biased here, since I have a stake in the game.
