> I wonder how much Musks behavior on Twitter over the last months impacted the Tesla brand.

Definitely affects mine, I'd buy literally any other electric car now.

But... Tesla had a ridiculous valuation anyways compared to profits. They were always a long gamble for anyone with money. Given bonds are more attractive now, makes sense it'd tank.
That doesn’t make the position that “Elon’s Twitter is saving freedom of speech from the totalitarian left” any less baffling.

And that's a fundamentally stupid idea.

Yes, but that's an externality, so don't worry about it.
> Sure, it's not exactly HTML, but looking at the examples it might as well be.

The language itself doesn't really matter; that's not the interesting part. The fact that the UI is rendered natively on each client platform is what makes this project interesting.

> ...they complain about their web developer and mobile app developer productivity. Why have a mobile app at all in that case?

Because the business requires it? I'm not sure how that has anything to do with productivity.
Charging cables contribute such a minuscule amount to landfills it’s laughable. It’s feel good legislation that distracts from real environmentally conscious efforts.
Is Audi or VW presently being run by Nazis or actively supporting Nazi Germany's war effort? Is anyone who was one of those Nazis still alive, let alone in any way actively associated with the company?

Do you even know what point you're trying to make?

Suppose I dug up your grandmother's tombstone and destroyed it with a sledgehammer then proceeded to urinate on it. Then I told you that I don't really think it is that big of a deal, that your grandmother is old and all that but it really is unfortunate for all things to change. Perhaps I even said that that you should look at my urination as a defacement of your grandmother's tombstone as an amazing piece of art that tells the story of the current social climate at this point in time.

Never minding the fact that this is your grandmother we're talking about, can you think of any other reasons why this would be wrong? Can you think of any historical reasons why a 30k old artifact of visual communication might be noteworthy to preserve?
That's the parallel construction.
> now that we're getting close to actually being able to build intelligent systems, what's the point ?!

What’s the point of going to the moon? It would be a great human achievement and life will never be the same.

It also doesn’t need to be binary while machines are attempting to pass it. You still would be able to judge how close computers are getting as the questions in a Turing test get more and more nuanced and sophisticated.

That being said we should have more objective tests like you described. No reason we wont do both.

Taking Sex Differences in Personality Seriously (2019)
Honestly, will these people ever stop huffing their own farts? This site is so full of itself sometimes. Are all of you guys really THAT engineer to the degree that you act like it on this site?

Are we really going to celebrate a new marketing term to sell the idea of knowing more than one thing back to engineers?

Like, hey, what if, hey maybe what if it was a good idea for people to know more than just the very narrow domain that we slot them into. Like, they could read books and things, and, have different competencies, and not necessarily approach every problem from the perspective of the STEMMIEST GOONIEST engineer ever. Maybe they could look at the same problem from different perspectives, instead of just steamrolling over all the others in a mad race to be the most engineeringest engineer that ever engineered, the kid that was building radios in his garage, getting stomped on by the kid that was writing linux kernel modules in diapers or some shit, all of us clambering over eachother to engineer harder. And when something goes wrong, the problem was you didn't engineer hard enough-- don't worry, there are ten or twenty brilliant engineers here who will be able to point out your engineering mistakes.

Maybe we should try to understand how we have accepted and profited from a society that increasingly only wants you to know how to do one thing, and that thing is engineering. Maybe even of the amazingly talented engineers on this site-- and I know there are truly many-- it is true that though engineering is what society will currently pay them for, it is not what society needs most of them. Maybe in fact it is paying them mostly to keep their heads down and not think, to work on smart fridges and disposable scooters and giant vacuums that suck up all your data and package it into a CDO. Maybe we all need to read a fucking book once in a while, and maybe that means we need to pay people to write the books so that we have something to read. Here's a shocking idea, maybe some of those writers have multiple competencies too, maybe some of them would actually make amazing engineers-- but actually society needs them to write more than it needs them to engineer. It needs to pay them to write. It needs to pay shitty writers long enough for them to get good as much as it needs to pay shitty engineers. That's what it means for something to be a real profession and not a hobby for dipshits, it means society agrees to pay you without you having to beg. Maybe we don't need comments, maybe we need fucking books. Maybe we don't need headlines, maybe we need stories. And everyone always has a take. Everyone always has a fucking take. Go shove your take. We're living in a fucking take machine here.

Maybe without all this shit, we are plowing forward into a future we don't understand-- towards goals we didn't choose-- because we get paid and hey, we're good at it. We're good engineers. We make thing work. We make thing go fast.

You wanna build something, you wildcard piece of shit, build a way to pay other jobs what they're worth instead of finding new ways to overpay engineers to build fucking Skynet / The Matrix / The Metaverse.
DiffusionBee is an Electron app with a Python backend, so it’s not native in any sense.

It’s a nice app though!
But what if "make testable hypotheses and then invalidate them experimentally" is wrong to begin with?
Lots of people are saying this is due to Elons behavior which I think misses the underlying actual reason. Tesla was extremely overvalued. Elon leveraged this value to purchase Twitter and is now funding that dumpster fire with Tesla's gold. The market is effectively correctly for this. Nothing more, nothing less. The market doesn't care what you say. It cares what you do.
If you look into the numbers almost 50% of BYD is PHEV, the BYD Song, their top-seller, is a PHEV.

The most important part in the EV transition is still who can buy/produce the most batteries.
Lightning connectors only have eight pins, the other side of the connector has the gold plating just for the looks of it. The socket is monitoring both sides with flipped pin order, one side is always unused. It's a ridiculously wasteful design. I'm glad other companies can't use it.
As in, the screen is the part that makes it a video terminal, as opposed to the ancient printer terminals.

(Also, what do you mean "casually states"? There's a long section detailing the history of the terminal right in the article, am I misunderstanding your question?)
As a business owner, I receive random ass invoices all the time. I ignore them and have an attorney for the cheeky ones who send them to collections or small claims hoping I won’t show up. My wife has dual sim with US + NL phone numbers. Her iPhone will not let her choose which one to call from when tapping a phone number on a webpage, so whenever she does this, depending on which country we are in, can cost a few dollars/euros per minute.

I was joking that we should send Apple an invoice for the faulty feature. Maybe they will pay it, and if they don’t, we can take them to small claims court. I’m quite familiar with the process now. Lol.
BlaBlaCar does this in Europe but I don't know how much uptake they have in the US.
I'm really curious about this viewpoint. Can you point to a couple specific items in the Twitter Files that you find to be terrifying? I've taken a look -- definitely not a thorough reading -- of the Files and nothing particularly struck me. The Biden laptop stuff is the bit I'm somewhat leery of, but it looks arguable given the context from 2016.

And if the Twitter Files really do reveal terrifying information, how does Musk come off as likeable? The two viewpoints seem mutually exclusive: Musk is the same guy who began banning users for both petty personal and politically partisan reasons (ElonJet, people who criticized him like Paul Graham, journalists that he views as liberal mouthpieces). Is it good and positive because... he does it in the open?
There being a possibility of a negative event providing motivation for a strategy to mitigate the event doesn't provide justification for realizing the negative event through sheer incompetence nor does advertising your incompetence ahead of time clear you of the blame for said incompetence.

All iPad models use USB-C now. The only caveat to that is that when they introduced the new iPad model with USB-C, they kept the old model as part of the line-up and that old model still has Lightning.
I am very surprised that automated systems like this aren’t illegal. If Apple wants to start a service like this, they should be required to install an intermediary to properly handle the calls instead of just wasting the time of emergency operators and responders and endangering people’s lives by tying up the system. I believe that’s how OnStar worked/works. As it is now, they’re just outsourcing implementations of the feature to emergency services.

I absolutely hate the world where our government sits around and waits for Apple to “fix” this, whatever that means, instead of actively prosecuting them to force this feature off and penalize them.

A quick web search shows that several people have been charged and jailed over spamming 911. Apple should be too.

As a thought experiment, say you were a person on a ski slope watching people ski and immediately calling 911 when a fall occurred. Would that stand? No. So why should Apple get away with it just because they’ve automated it and outsourced it to phones and scaled it geographically?
Like I said it smelled like shit and it is indeed shit. I don't plan on rolling around in it.

Do you have any specific objections to the summary I have stated, because honestly you haven't even read half as much as I did. Which is why the entirety of your argument is meta and content free and makes no reference to the actual dissent. You seem to be offended by ignorance, but between the 2 of us you are the one who is more ignorant and have offered no opinion on the dissent apart from hot takes about me.

The only thing you can learn from reading the dissent is that Thomas is ignorant as hell.

Or are you going for the angle that my opinion doesn't matter as long as I haven't earned a law clerkship at a prestigious place. And I should just keep on reading and reading for several years and not express an opinion on something as ridiculous as denying the residents and tax payers the ability to make a copy of the law.

I'm a fan of the frank honesty of Uncle Jack Charles:

I don't understand why powerusers think their are sysadmins and then complain about documentation is for sysadmins and not for powerusers.
I've had two broken USB-C connected phones in the past, the Oneplus 3 and Oneplus 5. Both had their C ports on a separate flex cable, with the port itself screwed onto the aluminium back of the phone on both sides. I was pleasantly suprised by this, it is a really solid construction. I've never had a broken USB-C socket though, it's been the battery for both phones. I think the C port is the best mobile connector on the market ever from a physical point of view.
In my opinion Draw Things is the best stable diffusion app currently available for macOS/iOS. It's free, it is available in the App Store, it manages downloading models and weights, it supports a wide selection of popular models as well as custom weights, and it supports inpainting, text2image, and image2image.

It has some oddities: it uses a sqlite database to store generated images rather than the more traditional files, and the UI is idiosyncratic. You have to follow the author's twitter feed to learn how to use the advanced features.
Oh, sure, they will allow standard Qi charging - but they will also offer an Apple-branded charger that is incompatible with other devices and will charge a lot faster. Never underestimate the capacity for malicious compliance, especially when it comes to laws that are considered unfair.

Also, my arguably 20 year old high school-level knowledge tells me that charging by induction will by necessity waste more electric energy than a cable would.
This entire article was born from conversations I was having when doing research for my book on ADHD (https://adhdpro.xyz/), so it’s a pretty strong correlation I would say :)

The EU for example didn't want to risk enforcing reciprocity if the laws regarding the visa waiver program (law says that if the US doesn't enrol a EU country in the visa waiver program, the EU can start making it a hassle for US citizens as well to enter the EU, similar to what people from countries outside the visa waiver program have to go through).

As someone once said: The EU has no balls (and was promptly critiqued on gender grounds which is the more important problem in the EU)
> Testing rate is a meaningless statistic, because the criteria for testing vary between countries and over time.

Testing is useful for two reasons - helping people who may have the disease (obviously), and for seroprevalence. Since Japan's testing was so low those seroprevalence statistics are lacking. As we know now, severity of the disease is linked to the overall health of the individual. It's quite possible those waves you call nontrivial were just as large but that the health of the population meant the severity of symptoms (which is what actually makes a wave trivial or not, along with availability of health services) was lower and continued to be lower.

I've been in Japan for the whole of the pandemic and to claim that people were isolated - either from each other or the outside world in any way that is meaningful for disease or contact tracing was of a high level is to contradict reality.

Finally, the article I shared by Bhattacharya and Packalen goes over contact tracing and points out why it is futile in the case of COVID-19, but Martin Kulldorff, Bhattacharya's infamous co-signatory on the Great Barrington Declaration sums it up in two tweets[1][2]:

> Contact tracing, testing and isolation is important against many infectious disease outbreaks, such as Ebola and post-vaccine measles. It is ineffective, naïve and counter-productive against COVID19, influenza, pre-vaccine measles, etc, and by definition, against any pandemic.

> Problems when one or more of: (1) disease is widely spread, (2) there are many mild or asymptomatic cases, (3) there is pre-symptomatic transmission, (4) we cannot identify the first index case in a given population, or how that person got infected.

These all seem like "nothing burgers" to me.

* He critizised that Yoel advocated for Kids using dating platforms in his PhD thesis. It's a misrepresentation IMO, but the reasoning behind his criticism is not LGBT specific.

* This is about mocking pronouns, not about LGBT people. “I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.” - EM

* He reinstated a lot of accounts that didn't violate the law (free speech). Vice cherry picked some examples that were
originally banned for "anti LGBT" tweets.

* Activist account was banned for "hateful conduct". I don't know the context here, but that classification seems reasonable.

* He did delete the pelosi tweet, presumably once he realized it was false.

* The last one is about anti LGBT behavior by employees at Tesla, not by EM himself.
can't be true imo that would mean the virus would circulate more and more, which isn't the case. The numbers are going down in almost all countries due to build up of immunity, because people got it multiple times. In most countries the virus became endemic and the waves are getting smaller
A new method of configuration load in Golang
Meanwhile, the power loss associated with mandatory wireless charging over the typical phone's lifetime will impose a carbon cost of its own.

"Didn't buy a Tesla" = sends a message to Tesla

The close ones are usually treated the worst and are treated badly sooner then the rest. It might just be that - them bailing out as situation worsenes.

I had it twice. First time was far worse than the second.
Nah. Tesla is reducing output because of reduced demand.

By February the covid wave will have peaked and things will be more or less normal. What China undergoes is similar to what other countries that have done a sharp covid policy u-turn have been through; chock and cognitive dissonance, and then nothing kinda happens. (Ie Australia.)
iPhones are compatible with the Qi standard which is limited to 7.5 watts.

MagSafe however can charge up to 15 watts.

So in some respects it is still a proprietary connector.
The Twitter files seem like a whole lot of "ooh look at this things over here that sounds very nefarious and shady!" but when you look at the actual details it all seems completely reasonable and taken out of context (for example the outrage at the "paid by the FBI" thing when it was a completely normal thing to be reimbursed for law enforcement actions)

I think you're blindly buying into the narrative of Musk as visionary genius, and that's not really a well supported by the facts.
> If constituent parts of bound states like atoms don't really exist as separate things, how come electrons in metals can move around readily? Is it that they're not really bound, or is it just that they 'attach' and 'detach' easily?

Some of both. Valence electrons in a conductor are delocalized over the entire surface.

> When I think of chemistry, it seems like even if there's some sense in which the bound atom is one big writhing mass of fields, the whole atom doesn't interract in a uniform way with the outside, right? The electrons interract with the outside a lot, the nucleus is harder to get to?

Right, at least for stable atoms at low energy scales.

Tesla is a battery company... unless you consider their self driving software overhyped (no delivery) 'tech'.
>they need to be complemented by at least one type A, no-nonsense delivery manager

And these managers need to report to them, not the other way around.

Truly great things either way, but an order of magnitude more accomplishments which is noticeable.

Kind of like a real rock star who is the one that hires the manager, even though the manager will be the one outlining and scheduling the grueling tasks for the performer, which the performer will adhere to as if the manager was his actual boss, except with none of the disadvantages.
Elon hates The Intercept
I live in Scotland, but grew up in Ireland (where there is no such right). The value of this cannot be understated, IMO. It's not _just_ the right, the fact that it exists forces landowners to consider access routes. Very rarely have I found myself crossing fields full of livestock or someone's front garden, because in most places the landowners have maintained or signalled a preferred walking route. It really is wonderful.

Compare this to Ireland, where one of the most spectacular and celebrated natural rock formations [0], which has been used by the government as promotional material for visiting Ireland, is borderline inaccessible [1], and you are met with signs warning you of trespassing, and when I went last year, there was another sign warning of a bull in the field.
