As far as I’m aware the gold standard for estimating the heritability of intelligence are twins that have been adopted into different families. You compare the variance of monozygotic twins adopted into separate families to the variance of dizygotic. If there is greater variance between dizygotic twins you can conclude, since the monozygotic twins share close to 100% of their genes, that the diminished variability can be explained with their shared genes.

However, like I said, there are problems with this assumption, mostly from sampling bias. But you can also argue that the twins share environment while in the womb, the bacterial environment actually interacts with your genome so the shared genome is not actually 50% vs. 100% but somewhat lower. But my problem is actually related to the definition of intelligence. There is no consensus that IQ is an accurate estimate of intelligence, far from it.

Battery life on my Macbook is better using Safari, so I choose to use it all the time. They've also been pulling ahead of Firefox on several occasions when implementing new CSS features.
I literally don't have Chrome on my Mac. Safari is faster and has less Google shoving their random product initiatives to me. I never have to log into Safari to do anything.
I think Tesla is so much like Apple. Both sell a product of debatable quality. Both do their utmost to differentiate from competitors - most visibly by using non-standard charging ports for their respective products. Both had a quirky CEO that gathered a cult-like following. Both are headquartered in the SF Bay Area and have very loyal fans.

My biggest concern as a Tesla stockholder would be that lots of Apple's retention power is due to the walled garden and making everything slightly different so users have hard time switching to competing products.

I don't think Tesla has many such technical obstacles to stop customers from selecting a different brand for their next car. They need to compete by being actually better and successfully maintaining a premium image.
That is what I mean, that kind of thing would be considered crazy in the US. Or things like the official church in UK or Denmark.
> As far as I can tell Musk is currently self-destructing for no apparent reason -- how is that best for him?

Musk is currently in a bubble where everyone around him is giving him unlimited "attaboys" for his behavior. He probably doesn't have a great read on how poorly things are going for him.
It’s a private jet, so he actually doesn’t have to deal with security at all and in most cases he won’t be close to the main terminal.

I think, to be completely fair, that the perceived security issue is more that we have a loose idea of what city he might be in. This feels more like a privacy issue than a serious security issue.

> > That and a headphone jack, but that was impossible to find on Android also.

There are plenty of Android smartphones, including from major manufacturers, that have 3.5mm jacks; they tend to not be flagships, because that’s not where the demand for them is, but they aren’t hard to find.

> Android decided to compete with apple.

“Android” is a large number of different manufacturers, many of which individually produce many more smartphone models targeting different market segments than Apple.

> They're almost entirely worse at it and by competing by turning off all the features the once had they've just become a worse phone alternative that's cheaper and also lets you install custom apps

I’ve never regreted leaving the iPhone ecosystem for Android, and I’ve pretty consistently been buying Samsung flagships, which aren’t particularly cheaper than Apple. And sideloading or using alternate app stores isn’t a huge part of that, though its nice to have the option.
ALL THE BEASTS TOGETHER

Children of the Camp are we,
Serving each in his degree;
Children of the yoke and goad,
Pack and harness, pad and load.
See our line across the plain,
Like a heelrope bent again,
Reaching, writhing, rolling far,
Sweeping all away to war!
While the men that walk beside,
Dusty, silent, heavy-eyed,
Cannot tell why we or they
March and suffer day by day.

In March 2020, TSLA was below $30 per share. In November 2021, it was above $400.

Whatever you think a reasonable value is for the stock now, how could that much increase in that little time have made sense?
I believe the original Asimo demos were more like 20 years ago at this point.
In the long run the approach Svelte takes seems very promising so I've kept an eye on it for a while now. I took umbrage at the snooty messaging towards a browser in a tool pitched as a way to "build production-grade websites".
Please don't do that here. I really feel it's better if we kept this nonsense out of HN.

If you believe that they will sustain 50% annual unit growth for another 5 years or so, then it probably is.

It certainly seems plausible. People talk of competition, but the competition has been full of mistakes and missteps so far. I don't think its obvious that the next few years will be any different.

Then again, we don't really know Teslas roadmap beyond the CT, other than vague hints. We know something smaller is coming and we know something bigger is coming. That's basically all we know of their roadmap. :)

Holocene sea level rise:

The rise, of ~60m, took place over most of the Earth as the volume of the oceans increased during deglaciation and is dated at 11,650–7000 cal. BP

That's a sea level rise of 13 mm/year, on average. Current seal-level rise estimates are about 4 mm/year, and model projections point to as much as 19 mm/year by 2100. It's certainly comparable. These are however relatively slow processes on the scale of a human lifetime, and one could argue human civilization could adapt to these conditions... at some cost, which might be quite high.
Would you mind if I put a tracking device on your car? I don't need to know where you go, but free speech, right?

First time Tesla owner and recently had opportunity to experience their full self drive feature. My findings:

1. When it works it’s just great. From maintaining lanes, speed limit, distance to other cars, auto park and summon are delightful.

2. Auto park in home garage is a bit too slow to use. But parallel parking is cool.

3. Even without a radar it worked on most roads and different lighting conditions.

4. Random speeding/ slowing is definitely present. Not like jamming into the vehicle in front of you but sudden acceleration can surprise. More dangerous was random slowing down at traffic signal, even when green and at traffic circles.

5. Overall it’s definitely good enough to show promise of self driving. They are not there yet but I would place them as one of the most advanced considering the range of functionality.

6. Still the $15k is simply way too much. You are better off with occasional $200 per month like when going on a long trip.
If it's for your career: React + (Next or Remix). Maybe Angular or Vue if the specific company you want uses it

If it's for yourself: Svelte. Amazing community, very likely to be here in 5 years, but I don't think it's been proven to work at large scales yet.

If you want to twist everything upside down and see the full potential of what front-end dev work could be: Qwik or Elm (imho)
Debugger Figma plugin – it's like devtools for Figma
Except it forces you to use node js, or do I read it wrong? Can we get a streamlined js framework that is just about the frontend and let’s you use whatever backend language you want? I know there is react, vue and angular but they seem so bloated

What you say seem plausible but, as an observer not privy to things, I am not sure how one can differentiate when someone is being allowed to get away versus being goaded to say incriminating things.

But If you look at the written coverage at NYT about this, you will realize that in this case it is the former and not the latter. Yes one can argue that it might have been a plan to make him comfortable to talk at the interview - but yeah :).

May be it is too subtle for me.

And no one is forcing you to buy an iPhone. Why don't you buy Android if you want to do all that stuff?

I recently switched to an iPhone because I want everything to "just work" and not deal with the android crap- and I honestly couldn't be happier.

Actually most of them are- they don't want to deal managing a device.. they just want something that works.
There is some similarity but I can imagine that a list-based version of this would allow union/intersection and customization, etc.
Look these guys are clearly scumbags but anyone who reads anonymous twitter posts and invests on that basis without assuming everything is a pump and dump is going to lose all their money one way or another. I would guess that at least 95 percent of trades based on this crew knew full well this was a momentum pump and dump club and just hoped to ride the wave and get out before the suckers. Not tremendous pity for their losses.
This is surprising to hear since the interest payments on sitting inventory has been steadily rising due to rate increases.
No it's simply due to priorities.

Apple has always placed privacy and efficiency over new features.
SWT is even better now.

First of all, up-to-date official packages are now published to Maven Central as part of the release process, so you can just add it as a dependency as easily as with any other library. Until recently you would have had to either fiddle around with Eclipse's alternative package management system, download it manually or use someone's unofficial Maven artifact. But that's now resolved.

Secondly, if you bundle a Java runtime customized with jlink (as is recommended these days), an SWT application is actually smaller than a Swing application. When you don't use Swing, you can exclude the entire "java.desktop" module, which is slightly larger than the SWT libraries.
It would all be opt-in, so not much changing unless you want it to.

This is the funny thing about the disclosure laws. The "influencers" may not have broken any trading rules, but their failure to disclose is an issue all to itself.

> Either they're acting against their own self-interest, sacrificing their incorruptible, safe gold for the risky, inflationary fiat currency, or they're lying about what they believe.

There is a lot to unpack here. But it comes down to this. You can advertise your services and not violate SEC laws, or you can do things which violate SEC rules.

As for buying gold for cash :

1) This isnt covered by the SEC, (perhaps the CFTC?)

2) your post about "fiat currency" vs gold is unclear. You are aware that they don't just buy bold bricks, but unwanted jewelry, etc as well?

If we replace "gold" with "used cars" does it work the same way? You are selling your unwated broken car which may be of some value to someone else.
I'd love to see an independent body conducting the same exact tests across all platforms (ie: Tesla).

> Or maybe it just drives in this alien unfamiliar way but is actually safer?

As long as the roads are a mixed environment of autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, driving in an unfamiliar way is by definition unsafe because other road users can't anticipate what your car is going to do. That's not even mentioning pedestrians or cyclists.
The "peeking" you can do with the trackpad on a Mac when navigating backwards and forwards between pages is a must have for me in a browser. It's so nice in Safari, I use it hundreds of times a day. It's painful for me when I use other browsers that don't have this feature.
as someone working on a python type checker I can second this. we get occasional complaints that some feature is too complicated or too liberal, and the answer is usually "it works this way because python works this way, we are trying to support as much valid python as we can even if it's hard to express in terms of static types".
Someone should go tell that to existing utility companies so they can argue they can't be more highly regulated than other companies.

aka, we already have precedence for this sort of thing.

Yes, that's what steelmanning is. If you don't care to do it, you're free not to respond to a request for a steelmanned arugment. Explaining your principled refusal to steelman doesn't add much to the discussion.
Can't agree. Typescript already has a better type system than a lot of languages in common usage, but it's not good enough and we run into issues all the time because it's not powerful enough. It can probably stop adding features someday, but IMO that day is at least a few years away, when it is actually solving the problem of type safety in web development fully.

Hi Nrbelex.

It is definitely the plan for the .com to continue as a commercial enterprise.

The .org is a new organization, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. There's minority company representation on our Board, and we have all the official governance things like by-laws set up. The .com has funded the establishment of the .org to date, for which we are profoundly grateful, and we all expect and hope to diversify the .org revenue from now on.

Both parties are aware of, and working to ensure, that the .org can also be independent of the .com if and when it needs to be. We would like to avoid the risk of a new CEO coming in and shutting it all down, as we are witnessing now in other arenas!
I feel it should be the opposite. If Apple is heading in the direction of more service revenue and is forced to compete on a level playing field with competitors like Spotify, for example, wouldn't this encourage them to improve Apple Music?
I believe the sidecar is optional now, and I think even the one that exists comes in the form of their paid service called Prisma Proxy. It doesn’t seem necessary for most use cases.
just like having real access to NFC would mean that developers will have more access to the hardware, I believe the same will happen here. the ML hardware will be opened just enough to let developers choose their own verbal cue

Why do I care about those things if all I do is drive to town and back and I charge at home? Not everyone is a jet setting Bay Area resident who also drives to wine country every weekend. I would prefer a reliable Toyota over the quality issues plaguing Tesla, plus the poor working conditions at the factory put me off of ever buying a Tesla, for ethical reasons. I don’t care if the model 3 is gold plated and cheap, the company and product quality sucks.
You can already see it by taking a sediment core from any undisturbed lake bottom in the world, just look for first appearance of the bomb radioisotopes and DDT residues as you go up the core from deeper to shallower layers.
Sounds like it sucks, then. If things are as bad as you say, then we have nothing to worry about because everyone will want to use Apple's browser. I'll let all the Linux guys know, and I'm certain they'll switch to WebKit right away.

> The profitability motive is false, see Steam charging the same 30% despite e.g. Gog or Microsoft store.

No, it's pretty substantial. The App Store made 80 billion USD last year, which was one of their only businesses that approached hardware profitability. Ensuring that nobody can eschew Apple's software control is completely their directive. If Apple did become more like Steam (eg. had other software stores to compete with) things would be pretty fair I'd argue.

> Clearly they need more help with this. Glad EU is looking out for them.

Apparently Chrome is borderline-unusable on Apple products anyways, so Apple has nothing to worry about.

> Or, you just decode them as Unicode (UTF-8/-16 depending on OS) and give up if the user is crazy. 99.99% of the time that'll work just fine.)

You have to be really careful about the way in which you give up here, as the user isn't necessarily in control of the files on disk: it might be an attacker. If I can hide files in folders from various parts of a Python program -- as was possible with early versions of Python 3, which simply skipped such files -- or cause corruption in how the filenames are round-tripped during a copy (allowing me to bypass a filter in one place but then write to a file with a different critical name in another place) I gain a lot of flexibility with my exploits.
It's perfectly usable in its intended scope: it allows you to focus on other things while driving in heavy traffic. When they're confident that they can do so safely, they'll extend it to other situations.

Mercedes explains the purpose in their press release:

> During the conditionally automated journey, DRIVE PILOT allows the driver to take their mind off the traffic and focus on certain secondary activities, be it communicating with colleagues via In-Car Office, surfing the internet or relaxing while watching a film. In DRIVE PILOT mode, applications can be enabled on the vehicle's integrated central display that are otherwise blocked while driving.

What bug are you thinking of? Got a GitHub issue link?
I really am curious how much Elon's rantings are affecting potential buyers of Tesla cars. I used to be a huge fan of Elon, was greatly turned off years ago, but now I actively loath him. Not only would I now never consider buying a Tesla, I wouldn't want my friends to buy one either and would tell them "Buy any EV except for a Tesla".

It's quite likely my sentiment is inconsequential, but it's pretty obvious that some of Tesla's biggest fans (and EV fans in general) were the left-leaning people he now vilifies.

I just use Nebula instead. It doesn't have a spiffy web interface or ssh auth chrome bolted on, but it works great for my purposes and it doesn't involve Google or Microsoft at any point.
