Slavery means lots of things. Chattel slavery, yes, but also forced labor like in us prisons. Indentured labor, child soldiers, forced marriage, etc etc.

The concept of "wage slavery" is basically, "you are not free to not earn a wage because you will starve". It's also easy to draw parallels between the commodification of ones labor and slavery.

It's a term that is not new, is widely used, and debated plenty. The incorrect response is to say, "that's a useless way to think". Show some intellectual curiosity - why do people believe that, what values do they hold, what are their reasons, which arguments do I disagree with, etc.

I'm a socialist, I don't think capitalists have a "useless way to think about the world", I have fundamental critiques of specific policies and different values on certain social behaviors.
Doesn't that work out to like 2¢ per ton-mile??? Don't confuse yourself by only looking at the numerator. It probably costs close to $100k to refuel a train.
One of the few advantages the walled garden has, is the rapidity of controlled software upgrade. Android has an almost unbounded set of platforms and bleeds out old versions on old handsets. By comparison Apple has a smaller problem space and so achieves software conformance faster.

It wouldn't surprise me if the 70% by 100 days is almost a constant.
You summed up what is really going on well.
Emissions per km completely leaves time out of the equation. Fatalities per year in motorway traffic per 1000km of motorway ignores how many people drive on those 1000km in a year, an empty motorway is obviously safest but also pretty useless. Strange that they'd choose these, given that they're a statistics company and should know better.

I believe a speed limit would be useful. Maybe add more Nürburgring-style race tracks where people can drive their cars as fast as they want to.

A shared friend introduced me to someone who claimed to be a struggling Hollywood genius. We were all drinking at some university party. He told us about all the cool shit he would do if only technology wasn't so bad. So I built a tool to solve his issues. To my surprise, he used it on the Expendables 3 blurays. Later, the audio crew for George Lukas' Red Tails praised the tool in an interview. Hollywood guy got grammy nominated. I got paid first for development and then licensing fees. But I mostly like it not for the financials, but because this way my software made it onto a few magazine covers :) I collected all of them.
Having done 250kmph / 155mph on the German Autobahn I do wonder what why you feel like you should take the pleasure away from other people because you had a kid?

No-one forces you to drive faster (1) and when driving you can stick to the right lane (2) and check your mirrors when you need to pass (3).
I do not believe their claimed savings. Steel is a very cheap building material and at the scale of solar farms, the cost should be very low. (As an alternative to stainless steel on the other hand, it may make more sense)
Struggle slavery; you're not free not to struggle on the face of the Earth, otherwise you will not survive. Man, how dare the universe spring forth creatures, yet foist that on them.
> If there was no electricity where I am at, the apartment would soon start to cool down. It is right now something like -6°C outside. I think it would take some days to cool down to that level.

I mean, I lived this during finals week in college. During the day solar heating helps some. At night, with good insulation in the home it'll take some time to match outdoor temps, and a winter rated sleeping bag helps at night. One of my idiot roommates was using a sleeping bag as a comforter and complained at how cold it was on night 1. After I pointed out what the zipper was for, he reported it was toasty warm on night 2. You can do the same thing without a zipper, its just slightly less effective.

Also helps: the water heater runs on gas. So you can take a warm shower. In the dark, since most bathrooms have no windows, just exhaust fans. But the furnace, while it needs gas to heat, required electricity to move air. I'm not sure why, but water mains don't usually freeze despite the usually cold winters (though indoor plumbing requires certain precautions in the cold).

Cellphone towers usually have some batteries and backup plans in these situations, which was less useful back then before data plans existed, but meant you could still reach friends in case their power was on.

Finally: emergency generators are a thing. So as long as it isn't so cold that diesel freezes, emergency services will be available to the community in a school or something. In cold climates there are enough of these that in the lead up to the ice storm that caused the mess there were PSA campaigns to get them tested and vetted ahead of time -- if you just energize the lines without installing a cutoff switch, it can kill line workers trying to repair.
Don't ask me... Spending time with the kids, looking after them or not is super relaxing. It's the best bit of life.
So, it turns out you need to set `force_mod_linear=1` to get it working under config in your xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/config.
I think we should start teaching kids to recognize the myriad ways technology is used to steal the most valuable thing they can have - time.

Like when I open Netflix I want to continue watching from where I had stopped, but Netflix keeps jerking around the 'continue watching' section with the hope that something else will catch my attention and I would give my time to them. This kind of bad behavior is just everywhere.
Also note that (nearly?) all EU trucks are cab-over-engine because laws in Europe on the overall length of the truck are more strict, so you get more cargo for the same LOA vs a conventional cab. Author of TFA certainly appears to be in Europe.
> If there's something I can (want to and capable of) work on that's 100x more valuable than what I'm doing now, why isn't somebody hiring me to do that now?

That's like asking why 2000 years ago the farmers didn't just buy a tractor and a combine and do their farming that way, since that would have generated so much more value. The technology doesn't exist right now, we're talking about a scenario where it will.

> Similarly, if some AI is capable of writing better software than I do now, I don't get to choose another job that pays 100x. It's just that my current job will cost less

Correct, assuming that it's only writing software that gets automated, and nothing else. Society as a whole will be wealthier by virtue of being able to afford more software, but not 100x wealthier. But if 99% of everything gets automated, the jobs that remain (and the new ones that get created as a side-effect) will indeed pay 100x more in terms of real purchasing power. Whether you think of that as "this job is 100x more valuable" or "everything else costs 99% less" is just a matter of perspective.
If that's the use case then Tesla has entered the market late and with an inappropriate solution. You can already buy that local route electric truck from 4 different legit truck companies.
Devil’s advocate: the buyer and operator of the trucks may not care what the driver thinks. Most of these complaints don’t seem to hit at the truck’s profitability for its target market.
I wish it was more useful and less cutesy. The cutesy ChatGPT stuff is fun, but doesn't have that much utility or clear reusability.

Tagging might be enough to help? At least if you are willing to do some manual fixing of those tags to make them higher quality.

Also it would be nice to know what the person is trying to accomplish, and _then_ the prompt that they are using to accomplish that. That might also nudge people to give prompts that are more reusable.

> Bankman-Fried’s parents became involved in the scandal when Reuters broke that the professors had been named owners of a $16.4 million vacation home purchased by FTX. His parents told Reuters that they are seeking to return the deed to FTX

Very boring indeed /s
It sounds like Tesla has a lot to prove to skeptical truckers, so a big number on range can head off some criticism.

I think what people are saying is that there are a lot of 80-100 mile trips that this can serve, where the criticisms aren’t really a big issue. But more range still means expanded use cases.
You're in debt if your liabilities exceed your assets.

Your liabilities include rent, food, and clothing.

In the assets column, include various sources of income or capital gains, like dividend stocks.

In a HCOL place like the United States, the columns balance around $1 million, which is effectively "zero". That's the point where you start being able to afford a frugal lifestyle in that built/social environment, without work. And that's not without sacrifices.

So in that sense, most people are debt-slaves for most of their lives.
Texas is pretty far south. If you use https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php there is about a 9% increase in total output over the year for optimal tilt(27 vs 0) but then you also need to space modules.

There is hourly data if you are interested but even Jan 1 the panels produce for ~7-8 hours. The 3 hour around noon it's about 1/2 the output for the day (for Jan 1).
The only Xeon Phi products to be available in PCIe form are the first-gen KNC cards. These are not Atom-based, they do not share the x86_64 ABI, and the only effective toolchain for them is older versions of the proprietary Intel compiler.

While they were quirky at the time (and I got some neat simulations out of them), they were a massive pain in the ass in every other way:

- Requires a motherboard that supports large PCIe BAR addressing, much more common now, not at release time (and good luck getting this working with multiple Xeon Phi coprocessors on a non-server motherboard)
- You likely need enough host memory to cover each of the cards (so 8GB * number of cards)
- You'll need to patch the Intel MPSS kernel driver to work with newer kernels
- You'll need to patch the Intel MPSS tools to work on anything that isn't ~2015 RHEL
- You'll want to buy the water cooling kit that alphacool made for them, it's the only way to keep temperatures and noise to a reasonable level

Solve all of those, and you get a (fairly cheap) coprocessor reasonably good at parallel yet branchy tasks. It's much easier to use the second generation of KNL (or third-generation KNM) which share the standard X86_64 ABI and can boot a modern Linux distro and you can use a normal toolchain).

The world is filled with falsehoods that were instantly and uncritically taken as truths by susceptible segments of the population.

Photos are admittedly different (text is slippery when it comes to true or false; there's a binary quality to the presence of a naked woman) but if the fake photo gets 100,000 views, and the "actually, it's fake" follow-up gets 100, it's a heavy lift for the latter to epistemically triumph over the former.

maybe rational, but purely subjective. "Restricting freedom" - the "freedom" to reach your destination in an arbitrary speed? what kind of freedom is this? esp if we talk about a difference of what, 10 minutes over 2 hours of driving time? "potentially potentially taking away a right people are used to" it wasn't really a right (=set in law), it just was not forbidden, just like a lot of other things that get restricted all the time. the argument "but this was allowed before" is not really a good objective argument.
One of the biggest problems with the adoption of passkeys, I think, is the lack of flexibility and possibility of vendor lock-in. What happens when you don't want to use Apple or Google? Will they support the transfer of credentials out of their walled garden? Can I transfer my credentials out of Chrome, like I can with passwords?

These aren't unsolvable problems, but I think this is a point where openness and user control should be a priority, both of which Apple and Google don't have a great track record with.

As an aside, I would like to plug Bulwark Passkey (https://bulwark.id), my open-source passkey manager which I think solves some of these problems. Passkeys have the potential to fix a lot of the problems with passwords, but there are fundamental concerns around user control that I think need to be addressed.

The driver sleeps in the truck in neither of those scenarios. The driver drives back and forth from the port until his shift is over, then another driver takes over. If the truck breaks down ... you're in the middle of Los Angeles. Someone from the company picks you up, and you drive another truck, or go home.

GP's (very reasonable) thesis is that these are for truck driving as a day-job, in fair-weather locales, which obviates most of the complaints.
The reason for the touchscreens is simple... compared to all the design and manufacturing needed for a good console of buttons, it's cheap just to slap in an identical tablet unit in every car model.

From the very start it was just Tesla penny-pinching.
With type hints you would model this as a Union type, i.e., Union[int, str]. This is perfectly legal with mypy and other Python type checkers.
You may want to shift your perspective then.

I derive zero intrinsic enjoyment out of learning frameworks or APIs, the only reason that I do so is that they help me achieve a vision of something that I want to build. Yesterday I cobbled together a Kotlin app with the help of chat GPT that when a phone is detected in freefall using the accelerometer it would start screaming. I've never used kotlin before, and I was able to put it together in a single day.

If chat GPT or some AI better facilitates the ability for me to build and create new things that I'm just as happy.

There are several other electric semis, the thread lists their manufacturers at the end.
I come from Germany / Bavaria. I've been driving on the A8 autobahn between Stuttgart and Munich for many years.

About 2.5 years ago, the maximum speed of 120 was introduced in a 10 km long section near Augsburg, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

There are some many exits in quick succession. It is generally very dangerous when people traveling at very high speeds (i.e. people who are just driving there) meet people who are traveling at very low speeds (i.e. people who are trying to get onto the motorway in slow cars or trucks).

There have been many accidents in the past. Since the speed was set at 120, there have been far fewer accidents on this section, and therefore fewer seriously injured / killed.

I generally observe a harmonization of traffic flow. And I'm less stuck in traffic!

> The result was pretty interesting I thought. ChatGPT did a good job here. I bet it would have been even better with 2022's additional prompt samples found on the internet.

I never got access to DALLE, so I will never know for sure, but this is disrupting visual learning/story telling in real time, so this coupled with a decent sized social media followers and pateron that tech is finally delivering on what the Internet was promising since the days of Geo-sites.

I think writing children's books for example has just gotten easier than ever for a very accessible price (~$15).
I keep hearing a lot about "edge computing", so here's my guess.

Back in the 90s, companies would buy rooms full of servers for their big workloads and the user-facing stuff would run on people's individual PCs.

So the next big thing with cloud is, cloud will combine with edge computing to reverse this relationship: users' PCs will do analytics on behalf of big companies locally, and all the user facing stuff will run in big companies' datacenters, i.e., the cloud.
Covering the ground with impermeable surfaces isn't great either. (Maybe they have drain holes at regular intervals so that's not as much of a problem?)

This is my issue. You're replying but clearly you are missing that there arent any electric semis to compete with.

The author of the thread also clearly hasn't ridden a tesla semi, so he is just assuming that eg the mirrors can't be cleaned either from the inside nor the outside. Isnt that a bit too bad of a take?

I mean I love to read about his experience, but many of his points of criticism seem hypothetical.
> If solar panels are cheaper than the mounting hardware (wow)

I'm surprised this surprises people... Every electronics hobbyist knows that electronics are cheap as dirt while any kind of box, mount, rail or whatever is BY REALLY FAR the most expensive part of a project, even when buying massivly mass produced cheap Chinese junk.
You must be in the control group.
> Tablets are simply not designed for use in moving vehicles. You need a physical button, so you can reach for it even without taking your eyes off the road and feel it.

This is generally an issue. I really don't understand how car manufacturers believe that a touchscreen is a good interface in a car where you often need to look at the road and touch the controls in order to feel at which button or knob you are.

I'd rather have high quality resistive touchscreens where the surface can be touched but a good degree of pressure needs to be applied in order to execute a command. Ideally it would have some sort of vibration feedback when I cross a boundary between buttons.
There is really no difference if the speedometer is in front (actually below) or to the right. In both cases your eyes have to refocus. I tried both. It‘s a non-issue in the Model 3/Y.

First evidence of back room "coordination" among crypto exchanges. Is this how the crypto "free market" really works?
The relative speed difference of 130km/h means you're closing in on the traffic in front of you at 36m/s. That doesn't sound like much but if you consider how long it takes from checking the mirror to changing lanes, that's often just not enough time. Numerous times I've had the situation where I checked the mirror and by the time I've changed lanes, some car almost rear ended me. Relative speed differences like that are just a recipe for disaster and the only way to fix that is to make the fast car go slower.

Every project management tool and methodology was conceived and matured by specific individuals and teams in their specific contexts, relationships, and business environment.

Many companies and teams share similar structures and characteristics, but every single one has differences (even at the same company). Just because something worked for some company and team (even ones which are similar to yours) does not mean it will work for you.

There have been so many times where a group I've been involved with has rushed headlong into a specific methodology or tool without having a decent grasp on the team dynamics and goals, and then spent precious hours configuring Jira or arguing about how many hours equals a scrum point. Lord help all of you who get that one person who fancies themselves an expert on a specific methodology or tool.

What you need are people who are experts at understanding the business and the dynamics of team they're throwing at it.
I wonder how long before they come for the Nordschleife. “Because it’s an outlier on the pollution map and why would anyone want to drive so fast anyway. Let’s ban it.”
A microphone and a speaker allows customers to talk to bank clerks sitting far behind thick bulletproof glass. They could implement that on a truck.

Handing papers over is harder, but I wonder if making a small window that can be opened would be really hard. The driver would need to stand up, though.
It's amazing how so few people understand this.
That's the trick with the recipe ones. It's really easy to make a recipe that "seems reasonable" because most people don't have that good an intuition for the size/weight of ingredients, but those ratios are some of the most important things in the quality of the finished dish.

For example my experienced eye is worried about the veg:egg ratio here. By volume that's like 1.5 : 1 or more, depending on how you interpret "until tender." There are egg dishes like a spanish tortilla or some frittatas with that much vegetable but they use different technique to account for it.

It would be edible but depending on the cultural expectations of the person you put it in front of it might not register as omelette. Which could be fine! But if you've ever cooked an omelette more than twice you'd probably do a better job just eyeballing it.
