My take on globalization is that it appears to make sense from a global stability and business perspective. Most of this is uneducated opinion but based on experiences with the local auto industry and some personal thought on the impact:

1. Having inter- and co-dependence between nations decreases the likelihood of global (potentially nuclear) war. It is difficult to decimate another country when all of your aluminum, cars, wheat or salt were coming from that country.

2. From a "big-picture" perspective, global markets enable massive potential growth for many corporations. I lived through the globalization of the auto industry here in Michigan; it was a slow-motion horror show affecting virtually every person, everywhere. Similar things happened in the mining and steel industries to the south and east of us.

3. There is no free-market value to extract from 500,000,000 poverty-stricken people; better to have them working and buying your products. Low growth/low margin industries (laundry soap, packaged food, etc.) were virtually drooling over the thought of opening up the Indian, Chinese and African markets.

4. The assumption that if, through globalization, you reduce entire industries that helped build a nation (steel, automobiles, are good examples in the USA) those people will simple re-train and get jobs in other industries, particularly white-collar or service industries.

5. People are adaptable.

But, these seemingly sensible ideals are difficult to attain. We have seen that:

1. Inter- and co-dependence can be adversely affected by things other than war: e.g. a global pandemic.

2. Not all countries open their markets the same, with trade imbalances being more frequent than desired. More modern, higher-precision industrial equipment simply made Japanese cars better and longer-lasting than the decades-old "Big Three" equipment.

3. There is no guarantee that 500M newly-appointed-middle-class people will even buy your countries products. A global free market is designed so that better designs win; but marketing and market manipulations don't always work out that way. A vast majority will spend less on a product if they can; even if it is of lower quality. (looking at you Amazon).

4. Some people just don't want to be white-collar workers or provide services to others. A "days work" is best measured by the things they built, rather than the processes they optimized, or the signatures they acquired.

5. While people are adaptable, watching them adapt to seemingly non-sensical drivers (at least in their world view) breeds great amounts of discontent. Hence movements like MAGA are born.
> “People of color” is only modestly better. It’s also a new term adopted primarily by white people.

The History section of the Wikipedia link above seems to disagree. It sounds like "people of color" was heavily promoted and endorsed by black groups during and after the civil rights movement.
ChatGPT definitely improved over last two weeks. I'd say it has just crossed "The enterprise central computer" intelligence threshold.

It's able to express facts its aware of in a concise and reasonable way. You can hold a conversation with it. Although - with things it's not trained on - it's completely lost, like a baby.

Exciting times.
I seriously doubt AI will be able to fix any of these problems. In fact, it seems like it will just cause more problems. Starvation can already be fixed by today's technology. People who are starving are not starving because of a lack of technology for example, but rather because of the socio-economic situation of their country.

AI might help fix disease but if it really can make progress towards disease, it certainly won't stop there and it will help us extend lifespans too, and everyone being super-healthy for hundreds of years can't be a good thing for overpopulation.

I think you can easily just say "here's problem XYZ, let's use AI". Well, that's a rather lazy argument because it's hard to envision how AI will help and moreover, I think the onus should be on the inventors of AI to really demonstrate that it does anything useful at all, because it's not at all clear how it can help anyone.

1. I’ve always been a quick reader. I can usually get through a 350-450 page paperback novel in ~3-4 hours.

2. So if I aim to read at least 30 minutes a day on weekdays and then 2-3 hours a day on weekends, they go by pretty quick.

3. I had a week’s vacation back in May and ended up reading 6 books that week. So prioritizing reading when I have extra time helps.

4. If a book sounds interesting, I buy it without thinking about it too much. It shows up on my Kindle and then when it’s time to read I know I won’t waste too much time picking out and buying a new book.

To be honest, I don’t find this particularly impressive. I didn’t read to the end, but the beginning parts of the game are littered with errors. Basically every command is followed by ChatGPT miscalculating the remaining resources and the player having to correct it. Could the player have just asserted they had different resources? I’d guess they could have. Another poster mentioned “good enough to be used” as a criterion, and this is far afield from that. It’s not good enough to be used for a game, much less any serious business practice.

The 3 elements of a successful blog are writing, technical and marketing: to first order they are the same amount of work.

A realistic plan for writing is to write an article a week for 52 weeks.

You can outsource the technical bit to medium or silverback, or you can hack together a static site generator, or install Wordpress or write your own blog software and no matter what have a fight with comment spammers, troubles with indexing, etc.

A book or movie or music publisher spends a lot in marketing to promote its product and you need to also for the same reasons. This could be paid marketing but it's hard for that to be cost effective for a blog. You need to create about 20-50 links for each new blog post, the power of blogs for SEO is that each blog post is a new page that can accumulate links. Posts to social media, comments on blogs, a synopsis of your blog post on LinkedIn, posts on web forums, wikis, etc.

>Either the mass killing didn't really originate from it, or it did, and the authorities never acted on the very easy to find messages to prevent it.

You describe the messages as "very easy to find" but I'm not convinced that's true. Identifying threatening content, understanding which may be genuine and which are "for the lols", cross-referencing against other posts and data sources to de-anonymize and evaluate the threat level of specific individuals...this is a tremendous amount of work requiring complex solutions.

It's all technically within the capability of the authorities, but would require massive investment to support this at scale.

You could do something like give the cops live access to back-end data to make some of that easier, but I don't think most *chan defenders would be much of a fan of that.
Yup my wife just almost got stranded in her Mach-e. Fantastic car but cold weather battery is noticeably worse than our Model 3’s. Something to keep in mind.
No, I don't, because at this moment in time it seems insignificant. But, I've said that before and been wrong.

OP called it rich. It's a fair criticism - because it is rich even if true. These things are not mutually exclusive.

My point was, you're asking OP to be silent. You can also just ignore this kind of point, because looking at things from this perspective may not be in your interest. It's not particularly mine either, but I still think it's good not everyone likes my kind of ice cream.

For sure. "We tend to over-estimate the impact of a phenomenon in the short run and under-estimate it in the long run."

I think part of what's going on here is that the actual pattern of technology use is heavily dependent on technical and economic details that can't be known up front. It turns out that SAE level 5 autonomy is much harder than a lot of people expected, so the thing that disrupted the cab industry is not the long-anticipated robo-cab but a mechanical-turk version of that. Or consider mass adoption of flying cars and/or personal helicopters. It has been technically possible for a while, but the economics and practicalities don't work out.

I wonder if Rust started out hand written, or that they switched to it after they had gotten all the mechanisms they wanted in. There might be a point where you're no longer fiddling a lot with your parsing strategy and basic grammar, and from that point on the parser generator becomes less of a necessity and maybe even somewhat of a burden.
What you can do is refuse to participate in it though. I used to be a researcher in a related field and I have decided to stop publishing anything that could remotely be used to further advancements in computer science and AI technology. I will never work in that field again because it is too detrimental to humanity.

You can also refuse to support any such project financially -- if you can make decisions in a company, don't use it. Unfortunately, the situation of companies using new technology is like a prisoner's dilemma situation, so most people will use it if it maximizes their profit. That is why I think we need government regulation on a global scale .

I don't really see that pivot. Only the opposite in Musk. What people are complaining about is his hypocrisy: he claimed not to ban anyone except when required by law, but instead it looks like he's banning more people, and more arbitrarily, than Twitter ever did before his takeover.

Sure he has the right to do so, but it makes him a liar and a hypocrite.
Putting enough tall grass in a park to keep geese away would also have the consequence of making it keep humans away. Some untouched areas are fine, but if geese are avoiding it because they sense danger, humans will do the same. It comes with the reality of snakes, and worse, ticks.

Nobody will let their kids play there and no adults will run or relax there. It’d be closed off and paved over if it’s meant as an urban park.

I don't know enough about the specifics of the OpenDoc thing to be able to comment on that.

I also don't know enough about the specifics of what happened to that guy. Was he an Apple engineer? Do we know whether he got fired the next day? If not, we don't really know whether he got away with anything at all, do we?

The morals of angrily accusing your boss of something in public take a bit of unpacking. In my experience, bosses throw angry accusations at their subordinates much more frequently than the other way around. In fact, many bosses seem to think it's their job description. And they get away with it pretty much all the time (again: my experience).

Why should the social norms that govern a boss's behaviour towards their subordinates differ so radically from those that govern subordinates' behaviour towards their bosses? I mean: If this is the Prussian army in the 19th century, I kind of get it. But if those are highly educated professionals working on a common cause like Apple and we're in California in 1997, then this asymmetry doesn't sit with me as easily. Any tech company that I would want to work for would have to be basically pretty egalitarian.

Even though I know nothing about the specifics of the situation, I can sort of empathise with the overall theme: Imagine you're an "individual contributor" who takes shit from their bosses all day long, and the higher-ups just thanked you for it by flushing your career down the tube when they decided to cancel some project or some commitment or something that was deeply important to you. You go home and tell your wife, and she thinks you're a f#ing loser to put yourself in a situation where they can just treat you like that. You aren't even doing anything (because: What can you do?) to stand up for yourself. You have a difficult time looking yourself in the mirror. Then some public event like this comes along, and it may be the only chance you'll ever have to directly interact with that CEO. If you air your grievance and show them how angry you are, it may well help you, psychologically.
You may or may not have a job the next day, but, if you don't, then, at least in your own mind, you died an "honorable" martyr's death. Even though I've never done anything like that (and probably wouldn't), I can sort of relate to that.
> thermally insulate the battery enclosure to try to retain that heat as long as possible

Might pose a problem during heavy discharge with 105F ambient temps?
I too am accustomed to weather, although not nearly as dramatic.

My point is that turning things that are unknown unknowns (from the point of view of the company) into known and checked for possibilities takes concerted effort, time, and money. It's easy to look at a problem after it's found and post-facto determine how to find the same problem quicker next time.

I agree that temperature is very basic, low hanging fruit. Especially for a device that seems to be aimed at operation by construction crews. But regardless of where you draw the line on testing environmental factors, you have to draw it somewhere. And so you will still end up with unknown unknowns that escape your QA or debugging process, sending you down the same path of needing to question your assumptions to figure out what's going on.

(Also you're not really giving them the benefit of the doubt here with this assertion that they didn't take temperature into account at all. It seems that they at least looked at the part temperature ranges. And it'd be courteous to assume that they did power dissipation and temperature rise calcs. What they didn't do was component or integration testing at varying temperatures.)
Given that the goal is 0 and there are plenty of ongoing activities, poorly cleaned up spills, contaminated mining towns, and legacies of carelessness related to the nuclear sector that result in 2-200x background in various pockets, it seems like 0 was a pretty good benchmark and should maybe be reduced a little.
I wonder though if there would have to be a balance, as you wouldn't want it to over-heat when charging during an Arizona summer.

Not your role to tell other people what they should read.
The data in their nicely colored graph is wildly inaccurate. I have a long range Tesla model 3 (in Alaska) and the range is over 290 miles (it says 310 miles when full, but doesn’t quite get that, even in the summer). This is information you can trivially look up…

I know Tesla gets a lot of flak, but it’s batteries outperform most of the other cars that are listed.
Some do; the article lists some of them in the lower car-specific section. Mine [Nissan LEAF] runs an electric heater when the battery is below -20°C [-4°F], which is slightly different than the article [article says -1°F].

The problem with thermal insulation of the battery enclosure is that you want the battery to cool towards ambient in most conditions, so if you use ambient air cooling only [as the LEAF does], you probably don't want to do much thermal insulation for the rare times when it's below -20°C. Most EVs have a more active cooling solution, which could allow for thermal insulation of the pack while still having adequate cooling via a water/coolant loop.
Waymo is doing level 4 automation. Level 5 is still very far away, and will require more than just LIDAR.

Not only that, but should verify CA… the _exact_ ca. If you’re bringing in external information into a system, the source needs to be cryptographically authenticated.

Do you store identities in an external system? (LDAP for example) If you don’t verify an exact ca (or tls key), it just means you system is open to a dns rebind attack.
Perhaps we should learn to derive our identity based on likes from social media instead?

The problem is that a healthy society is one in which humans have the capability to create value and feel appreciated, not be 100% healthy meatbags having everything provided for them while they consume endless content. The only reason why this technology is being created is for short-term profit: if we were making decisions purely on what is good for us (presuming we had the wisdom to do so), we would be much more careful.

Honestly, does anyone believe that the good for society is being considered at all when a researcher writes a paper? No, of course not, they are only concerned with increasing the size of their CV and satisfying their own amusement.

Humans suck in these conditions too. The solution is to go slower, pull over in the worst conditions, take an off ramp, don't drive in the first place, etc. These are all things humans have been known to do.
