It's pretty easy to find contrary evidence--depending on your exact definition of soon.

At COP26, leading automotive companies, businesses, governments, and investors agreed to work towards all new cars and vans being zero emission vehicles by 2035 in leading markets and by 2040 globally.

New Polling Shows U.S. Voters Support Full Transition to Electric Cars by 2030

And yet, they've built the most reliable cars.
You forgot the biggest one.

Advertising revenue. That’s what Facebook and Google were supported by.

And it has been a zero sum game in a race to the bottom for years. They just didn’t diversify much, same as Russia or Venezuela with their oil economies.

Most companies built around zero-sum games are eventually going to stop growing as you run out of other people’s money. But that’s OK — they are already HUGE!

The real problem is the public stock market (also a zero-sum game, mostly) creating a bubble and pushing them to extract rents from their ecosystem harder and harder. It’s fine to raise money in order to grow, but investors end up reselling shares for more and more money and represent a class of people who extract rents from a multi sided market.

(By contrast, true utility tokens pegged to the dollar that can be sold to actual customers and are a way to raise money that is more economically sustainable and doesn’t create speculative bubbles.)
> GM isn’t investing double digit billions of dollars into EVs because they think EVs won’t be the platform that most people prefer.

True, GM only cancels and gives up on EV programs that cost single digit billions. ;)
Rian Johnson based the central character on Elon

Wonder how it’d go if the DoJ actually practiced antitrust towards tech again. The EU Commission does, at least.
Using Java microservices I have only a single endpoint per use case that returns different representations based on what is requested by the user agent. If its a browser it will request HTML and I use some simple Mustache libraries to format the HTML output. If json is requested then the built in json serialized does its thing. It feels quite elegant. I think there's room for some kind of automatic HTML serializer as well. Where styling can then be done directly in CSS.
>"As a rule"

Uh, okay.

That Toyota has no foresight or the belief that they haven't invested billions in the future of the auto industry - hydrogen and EV - sounds like an "unpopular desire" of your own.
I thought it was nice to see a movie set in 2020 that actually reflected the way many of us lived in 2020, if only for the first portion. Most film/TV made that year went out of its way to simulate normal living conditions (typically by “bubbling” the cast and using a lot of testing.)
You’re almost there. Once they get to school age it gets easier.

Right now If you have enough money hire a nanny. You may be able to find someone for a couple hours everyday and that might help.

Also hire a cleaner/house keeper etc if the day to day chores are also interfering.

Some cruises include a kids club and there are sleep away camps in the summer.
This is perhaps the mostly wildly (and incorrectly) assumption-filled response about myself I have ever received on HN, which is really saying something. It is especially funny given that not only do I have a 15-year comment history here, but I write under my own name, so if you'd had the slightest interest, no assuming was necessary.

I can only suppose that you've had this 19-paragraph rant (parts of which I actually agree with, if not the whole) brewing your head too long and it just came spewing out at the first trigger. I can only to encourage you to work on your reading skills, so that you are responding to things people actually say. You might also consider when you're writing that maybe you're talking to somebody who already understands what you're about to say but still has a different opinion. And that when you do that, instead of coming across as smartly as you intended, you look to them like a hugely fucking arrogant goof.
The hard part of building a CDN is to know when you need it. 99.9% of all websites with CDN do not need it.
Serving static files consumes so little resources that a single server can serve billions of users as long as you dont use script for serving the file. The most cost-effective with also the lowest latency solution is to never use CDN. If your webserver provider charge you a lot for traffic you are better off using another provider.
Architecturally no. Operationally based on folks I know have (or continue to) worked there in the past suggests they are much less likely to be popped. Something about having higher calibre security folk seems to make major breaches much less common. See here Google and Apple which apart from some social engineering vulns in iCloud have remained mostly untouched for decade+ whilst being the juiciest of juicy targets.
As long as they don't get Vibranium. I watched Wakanda Forever...
Oxford in this case refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford,_Mississippi, where you'll find Oxford University School, in contrast to the somewhat better known University of Oxford. There is a major university in Oxford, but it's the University of Mississippi, which is only marginally less confusing than Cambridge holding two world-leading universities, Harvard and MIT.
The GPT-3 playground lets you view the probabilities of generated tokens. That's the closest thing to a confidence score you can get from a transformer model. But like the other person said, this isn't very meaningful.
Does anyone know of an open source tool that will reliably export LastPass entries to the other formats or even a csv?

The LastPass exporter IME is very unreliable.
The benchmarks in the benchmark game are typically CPU bound, which heavily favors compiled languages for obvious reasons.

With regards to what "idiomatic use" is for Ruby, we could argue that most ruby apps are web backends and most of those spend the majority of their waiting for DB and/or API calls and don't spend all that much doing work in actual Ruby.
Won’t it cause problems with Google/Apple stores?
It’s a pretty funny joke but GM is investing $35 billion in a five year period:

This is the tip of a very large iceberg.

I knew a woman who was paid to click ads, she earned less than 1 euro a day, on average, but it was better than begging - which seemed like her only viable alternative since her age ruled out prostitution. Factor in the cost of the laptop and internet connection and she was really getting a net negative sum.

She was fortunate though, thanks to previous decent income, she owned an apartment complete with a lodger. Although he was barely earning much more as an online salesman for some kind of ponzi scheme that was, one day, going to make him rich. Last I heard he was owing months in rent since he wasn't even receiving the tiny amounts he was supposedly earning.

In both instances we're talking about reasonably intelligent people who were just caught in this trap of near zero earnings with no opportunity of escape that wouldn't involve a prolonged period of much worse.
I would agree if the sticker on the box didn’t say “compatible” :p
I am by no means an expert on the topic, but I don’t think that “array of pointers”-chasing is the primary performance bottle neck of most managed language. It happens all too often with C programs as well (or even worse, linked lists) and if the pointed to objects are close to each other in memory/are in cache (as they might be in case of a generational GC) than it is not a big performance hit. Also, most apps don’t spend most of their time in a hot loop iterating over arrays, ordinary programs seldom have huge arrays.

Dynamic properties, non-uniform object shapes may be more responsible for this generic slowness of very dynamic languages, and from what I gathered assuming a shape for these objects constitutes a kind of advanced optimization (done by JS engines, truffleruby, not sure about these engines), even if its done depending on language idioms it may not give that big of a boost. Ruby is a very dynamic language with e.g. hitting not implememted methods and dynamically handling, etc.
GM nicked named government motors is investing billions of taxpayer money into bev's because that is what the federal government is subsidized them to do

Don't know about that. I've heard that if you watch Memento in chronological order, it is very uninteresting.
Yeah, the author mostly just makes it seem like being a movie critic is a great way to ruin your ability to enjoy movies.
20 years ago, solar panels and electric cars also had "scale" problems. Those turned out not to be problems.
I could not find any tech company like this. all these silicon valley startups just focus on IPO and getting a huge return from stock market.

Looks like the prospectors might be a bunch of crumb-snatchers (people who take undeserved credit for events, outcomes or other things that they played no role in).

Also, I believe I read somewhere else that the meteorite in that photo is not in that village any more. Apparently a Chinese company working in the area hauled it off. Maybe I'm thinking of a different meteorite.

“Dynamic” “native” apps
Except that this is a completely information-free statement. I can claim that the silent majority of people are fond of mixing human hair and feces into their tuna casseroles, but they're all too embarrassed to admit it. It's a rhetorical tactic that is deliberately designed to resist any request to provide evidence. It's a hallmark tactic of bullshitters.
I mean, technology tends to get smaller, cheaper and more efficient over time.

It's like objecting to the first computers because they took up a giant room, were heavy and could only do 3rd grade math. They'll never go anywhere.

EVs use the most generic form of power exchange we’ve been able to come up with (electricity), and can be charged from any form of it relatively easily and inexpensively - from low voltage DC to high voltage AC , with various efficiency trade offs - with equipment we know how to design and build, and have been doing so for a long time now.

They’re remarkably flexible, and adaptable.

If one was sufficiently motivated, you could burn sugar refining leftovers in a boiler run a dynamo to charge, or direct charge off a solar panel array, or charge off a generator, or high voltage grid interconnect (relatively directly) that was available infrequently. Or a power outlet in a house.

They’re also remarkably low maintenance mechanically, with much smaller supply chains required, up to the life of the battery.

That potentially means they are the most flexible and best option during high change situations. It’s possible to cobble together working solutions in nearly any type of situation.

For most current users, they don’t need flexibility, they need convenience (in a specific, predictable set of circumstances), and a stable large interconnected grid definitely enables that.

But if the grid is down half the time, gas station pumps won’t work, refineries have issues, etc. too. EVs can still charge just fine when it’s up. It does take time, but in a ‘everything is falling apart’ situation, you either have none or more than you can deal with anyway. So it doesn’t likely change the situation much against it.

Hydrogen however is still not worth anything either way. :s
I just dive in and learn as I go by looking at the rest of the code-base and familiarizing myself with their chosen patterns, language documentation, and trial + error. Core principles remain mostly the same regardless of language, and anything that's not the same is pretty quick to pick up with background knowledge of peripheral technologies and Google.
> I just throw notes on my daily journal and add tags/links (same thing) liberally. The knowledge network is practically automatic and I don't fall into the trap of prescribing a hierarchical system.

This is what I've started doing as well, and can confirm it's been working well so far. Logseq will automatically create pages made out of backlinks showing you all the blocks that contain the given tag.
I want us all to move to electric asap, but the thought of it sometimes scares me thinking about how much copper and infrastructure it will take and how unready we are to accommodate the different speeds of delivery with regard to charging vs. refueling for gas.

Our Tesla superchargers in our state were often getting to capacity and that is just a few spaces and a few cars in a whole state. When every car is electric and the cars take an hour to charge I’m not sure how that is all going to work out.

This problem could be fixed with forethought and planning and converting gas stations asap, but when do humans and specifically Americans ever do that?
One could also ask, "What good does it do for an insect to taste bad to birds? By the time the insect gets 'tasted' it's already dead."

Very simply, animals learn to avoid such insects. The same simple explanation - absent much of any concept of selfish or altruistic behavior - probably applies to bees as well, regardless of their colony structure. Once an animal is stung by a bee, it learns to avoid bees, which reduces predatory pressure on all bees (including bee mimic species).

The other primary role of the stinger is in defense of the hive, i.e. colony survival. That's a more direct group selection concept, as if the queen and some drones survive an attack on the colony, new generations can be bred, so an aggressive pheromone-trigger response by workers is likely.

Furthermore, one must always consider in evolution the role of accident and misfortune. For example, walking upright in humans is widely considered to have been a beneficial evolutionary development, as humans were able to spread onto the plains and were no longer limited to living in forests. So is the development of a large brain. However, together those factors make childbirth more difficult for human females relative to other mammals. This wasn't a desirable outcome, more of a side effect. Bee stingers lodging in some of their targets may be a similar issue - i.e. an accident of evolution, not something chosen by selection.
It makes more sense if you view it through a political lens where everything is justified based on the evil of Brons. So anything bad flows from him so mistakes of others could be forgiven.

Destroying the Mona Lisa is worth it because it punishes Brons.

The movie had some high points and I thought it was fun, but the story had many flaws. I think it’s best not to overthink it too much.
I live in such an apartment and this is such FUD. Everyone is getting by just fine with level 1 chargers. Almost no one drives so much they actually need level 2, and in a pinch there are public charging stations.
This fellow's system seems overcomplicated?

For me, the benefit of linked knowledge is just that I tend to forget a LOT of things, including many details of things I've learned in the past. For me, the principles and concepts remain, but all the steps and "how to do X" vanish rather quickly. So having essentially a personal documentation database (using Obsidian) that I can quickly jump into to recall lost knowledge is very important.

My "Second Brain" is not so much about making my brain better, as it is filling in the missing gaps of where my brain struggles at.
Most music stripped down to the harmonic skeleton (or otherwise the basis, if it is whatever some algorithm yields, or some non-harmonic basis, such as a rhythmic pattern or otherwise something not in the Western harmonic tradition) is too bland, hence there usally being more work done to extend and elaborate on the basis by way of counterpoint, ornamentation, arpeggio, etc etc etc

For the video on the page, the bell-like instrument very much suits an arpeggio texture. Something with sustains (say, a cello) would need a different treatment.
Putin would want “peace” only to have more time to build up his army and continue the invasion in 2-5 years. It’s insane how naïve some people are still about russias intentions after everything they’ve done
It just seems to me that they would be more effective if worn. Even if they don't fit, cut them up and stitch up gloves and cover-ups.

I mean it’s hard to insure a house in a high crime neighborhood that has a steel door and window bars but constantly forgets to lock the front door, and puts valuables in a safe with a sticky note on the front
Faster charging times (fast enough that your vehicle is charged in the time it takes to enjoy a coffee and a bagel at the coffee shop adjacent to the charging point) would also be an acceptable solution in many cases.
Decoding the Secret Language of Photosynthesis
Most regulation that I've seen specifies electrified, which includes hybrids, not limited to just BEVs. There are perhaps exceptions, but since most people prefer to be outraged, it all gets peddled as "the gov't is going to force you to buy an EV!"
Seems like an underreaction to me. Loathing seems too good for the Last Jedi.

It’s ok to hate it despise art and even pop art.
When you’re behind, it’s easier to sling mud then catch up, especially when you’re a conservative multinational without recent experience swinging for the fences (to give credit due, Toyota’s hybrid synergy drive was the result of their fear of US emissions standards decades ago).

Tesla spent $1B on their global Supercharger network. Does Toyota not have $1B to invest? Their market cap is $226B, so clearly this isn’t the case. Get building y’all. You just need a charger team to identify locations, coordinate plans and permits with the local AHJ (authority having jurisdiction), and to engage local electrical contractors to receive the equipment and install. Every Toyota dealer is a possible location to operate a charger installer team out of if so desired (for residential and level 2 requirements).

(Tangentially, make sure your fast DC chargers actually work in the cold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq0RAjJ1PKQ ["Kyle finds out that the new Electrify America chargers that they co-developed with BTC don't work in cold temperatures. He also heads to ChargePoint, EVgo, and other EA chargers to see if they have similar issues in this cold snap."])

Norway’s ban on new combustion vehicle sales goes into effect in 2025; registration data shows they’re almost at 100% EV and hybrid sales (with hybrids making up less than 10% of new car sales), and their mobility story hasn’t come to a grinding halt. The evidence is overwhelming that challenges raised (cold weather, charging infra) can be solved for with time and resources.

There are no EV downsides? EV cars are awful in snow and hanging out at the charger station gets old fast.
No, even forty years ago it was clear that you could power the entire USA from a negligible sacrifice of southwestern territory to solar power. Your analogy doesn’t work.
Unpopular fact, western countries including the US,UK fully supported Japanese imperialism and expansion until shortly before Pearl Harbor.

Well, they said success has many fathers for a reason.

Very strange that the the list of the Internet pioneers from the Wikipedia that you've posted does not include Robert Metcalf but the article does mentioned him, but seriously why he is not in the Top 10 is beyond me! Robert is the original inventor of Ethernet he also also founded a highly successful 3Com company providing Internet infrastructure in the early days of the Internet [1],[2].

Based on the OP article we should have the original picture of the back of the envelope drawing by Cerf but nothing to be seen because according to him he threw it away. Robert, however have drawing picture of the Ethernet's original design in its glorified envelope with infamous vampire clamps/taps on it [3],[4].

I want to see that!
No, hydrogen's failings have been well-documented. Toyota has been working on this since the 90s and snapping up all the parents in the false hope that they can corner a burgeoning market. Unfortunately for them, hydrogen-powered cars are a technological dead end.
Very cool. I was an MS Windows Tech Support during the Win31/1 to Win95 transition. Looking back, it went pretty smoothly. Most of our calls were HW driver related or usability related if I remember well.
Toyota is in last place in the EV race. It's going as well for them as the smartphone transition went for Nokia.
Most probably it literally is nepotism.

It’s possible that for two generations in a row the most qualified person to succeed the previous was a family member, but it’s nowhere near as common as actually happens in practice in family businesses.

It’s also your family’s right to do that, so there’s no need to pretend it’s not nepotism.

Firstly, "things that shouldn't be said" include matters of etiquette and not just ethics, so just be clear about the line between being a good/ethical person vs. being a polite person.

Secondly, your personal ethics are absolutely relevant because ethics advances by persuasion in rational debate. Everyone's views on such matters are relevant, if not persuasive.
It's the literal definition
I wonder what the board will cost. I'm guessing around 100$ for the 8G variant?
I can also say the silent majority of people think people who don’t brush their teeth this morning are gross. “Silent majority” is often used as a BS tactic because it doesn’t say anything about the truth or falsehood of a claim - yet, the underlying claim could still be true. Don’t make the logical mistake of assuming “silent majority” claims are automatically “likely false.”

In which case, perhaps this article could be retitled to the exact same thing but with less use of the “tactic”: Toyota CEO talks to other carmakers, warns many of them are cautious on EVs.
I liked this movie quite a bit. It didn't have as much charm as the first one and slightly less mystery, but it made up for it in comedy and cultural commentary. Really glad that this is a franchise now
Seatbelts are removable, the analogy makes no sense.
