I don't understand how someone who's seen anything out of Apple, let alone spent years following Apple, would believe half of those "leaks" to be remotely credible.

They're going to put an OLED screen on the outside that just shows the wearer's eyes? That would be the creepiest-looking thing on the planet and there's simply no way to dress it up in marketing. A hip-worn battery pack that lasts two hours, and you have to swap batteries out to use it longer? Not something Apple would ever release.

If Apple ever comes out with a headset, and I'm not really sold on the entire concept being true, it will not resemble what's described here in any way.
Now that sounds interesting. I assume you're not counting each API endpoint as a service, so can you shed any more light on this? The scale sounds mind-boggling. Thousands of separate services being pulled (more) together. Can you give an idea of the size or scope of these services?
The person you replied to didn’t say CL is statically typed. They said “powerful”.

While CL (the standard) doesn’t require compile time type checking AFAIK, certain implementations, such as SBCL (probably the most popular non-commercial implementation), does offer compile time type checking.

I didn't buy an EV early on, when Tesla was really the best choice, because I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ just to be an early adopter of an immature technology.

I did buy an EV recently, but at that point, Tesla really doesn't have a competitive edge. They made EVs cool, but other manufacturers now have cars that have better interior styling and better performance for a comparable price.
Maybe other people share useful state in meetings somehow. To me they're annoying background noise I zone out for until some key word like my name triggers my attention. I must not be missing much because I'm recognized one of the top performers. If I'm ever in need of a career change I might consider Shopify.
You got this the wrong way: You can then leave out the redundant information. As (I strongly hope) you won't leave out the formatting and start to write everything on a single line, the obvious thing to do than is to leave out the superfluous block delimiters.
I've resigned myself to hoping France makes new investments so we can just buy it from them on the market. Nuclear isn't happening in Germany. Barely anyone in the anti-nuclear movement is willing to have a discussion beyond "Chernobyl was bad, THTR was a huge failure and waste disposal is a problem I will accept nothing but a perfect solution on".

I think we mostly agree.

You didn’t shock any awareness, though — the idea that you could in this case is based in your perception that you knew more than me (or that this was a competition in who could be more ableism-aware) which is likely based on your own lived experience where it is probabilistically most likely to be true. We are in the long tail here though where it is not only possible but fairly likely that the person you’re talking to is at least as much of an outlier as you are, and where someone else may have already come out the other side of an extended and overwrought diversity awareness education of trauma-informed everything and be thoroughly done with it.

Your offense at the term and/or your friend’s reaction was based on your own outdated associated definition and/or your assumption of what you understood my definition to be, my understanding, and/or my awareness.

People often think they are “smarter” because others make concise comments and the big brains, instead of assuming competence, assume that every corner of the discussion that wasn’t fleshed and rounded out in the original comment is an opportunity for a brilliant unique thought, discovery, or observation of theirs that is unknown to the commenter. That’s often not the case.
Moved Colour to Pyright a few weeks ago, our Mypy checks on Github Actions were taking 1h30. Those speed regressions were fixed recently though but Pyright is still much faster and seems stricter, finding more legit issues than Mypy.
I'm really looking forward to psychedelic therapy. I have a very rare kind of body image dysmorphia/dysphoria. Traditional therapy, SSRIs, etc. have been useless at treating it. I'm scared of psychedelics, having had scary bad trips in the past, but with a therapist to guide me I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get deep into my subconscious and fix something. Uncharted territory I can finally explore.

Burden of proof is very relevant if neither side gave an argument.

People are doing A. Someone says "Do B instead!". "Why should we do B?" "Well, why should you do A?" At the end of that extremely unproductive exchange, what are people going to do, A or B? They're going to keep doing A, because they were already doing that, and nobody gave them any actual reason to change.

So "burden of proof" isn't meant in the sense of this being a formal debate, with rules. It means that, when ahf8Aithaex7Nai said "Prove your own claims before you demand proofs from other people", that ahf8Aithaex7Nai is wrong. OOP is the current default in terms of the bulk of professional programming; if FP advocates want that to change, it's on the FP advocates to provide reasons, not on the OOP advocates to prove the correctness of the status quo.
They're a reality now, people are comfortable riding in them alone. The future, however, is unevenly distributed.

I have a rule that I'm not going to make predictions about the industry until 2025. Nonetheless, it has been a good year for machine learning and that includes autonomous vehicles. The survivors this year are showing more signs of optimism than they have since about 2017, which was a year of failing to live up to big promises that they are finally starting to live up to now.
In Journalism school we had a fun exercise of writing a piece about the Red Riding Hood story. There was some interesting discussion about what the focus of the story should be - the victim, the hunter, the granny or the beast. I recall that my professor focused on the value of life, and that a life being saved would surely be the focus on most newsrooms (that was almost 20 years ago, nowadays things are probably different).
reorgs usually happen higher up the tree in larger companies, been through a bunch and its never affected any part of our work.
This is the most important point in my humble opinion: we keep confounding the most extreme and vocal and annoying minority for the moderate whole. It keeps happening and happening. Together with the corolary of confounding twitter and "The Internet" with real life.
I was really confused as to why some content for me was getting blocked.
No, you've missed my point completely. You are talking about the ends. I'm talking about the means.

Yes, a society with less suicide is a better thing. We can achieve that in many ways -- however, some ways come with significant or unpredictable side effects.

I never understood the need for "web3" because as far as care "dapps" seems to cover anything non-financial/payment in "crypto".

Blockstacks was initially release with "decentralized" storage that allows me to interact with dapps that would use that storage to hold my data. To me that was and still is the pattern of what I consider "web3".
As I recall when blogs first came about, "blog" is shorthand for "web log".

A log is a journal.

Ergo, to write a blog is to journal something.
Unfortunately Ghost is made by people that have no idea what a cdn is. And can't tell a difference between their own code and a third party theme.
With async communication you really need to define what quicker means. I suspect you're not defining it the same as people who prefer a quick call.
In no particular order:

- I'm cheap, and they're not.

- tablet UX sucks.

- dangling an extension cord out of my apartment window also sucks.

- FSD is a lie.

- baby it's cold outside: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/winter-ev-range-loss

- I have a perfectly good ICE car that is fully paid off and I intend to drive it into the ground and it's only got 75k on the odo and it'd better be good for another 200.

- I am waiting for the Cambrian explosion of EVs to chill out before I'm comfortable settling on some basic expectations for a return to sane driver controls, and ideally the simpler the better.

- Elon's an ass.

- Surprise lithium fires also suck.
A Tesla is expensive compared to many cars. Also on the used market. Some people cannot justify the cost compared to the many alternatives.

Brand loyalty is strong. Some will buy a shitty car from their favourite brand instead of reading a bit.

When money isn’t a problem, some cars are better in some aspects. I like the Tesla Model S but if I had the money, I would consider a Posche Taycan or a Mercedes EQS. Though I would perhaps not tolerate their software as I understood it is far from being perfect.

Fear of change is also something important. Having a Tesla in Norway is way past the early adopters phases but some people still resist
and will be very late just to be safe.

Tesla provides a shitty owner experience. Ordering one is very easy and great, it’s like ordering an Apple device. But picking up your car on a shitty parking using your phone and having no humans in the loop may feel strange.

Spare parts are not available quickly and it is known. Tesla should improve that because it is not uncommon to hear about someone who can’t use his broken Tesla for months because some parts are still not delivered.

Some people like internal combustion engines and the noise, the smell, the vibrations. I understand them and I think they will become rare as they are getting old.

Elon Musk.

The forum posts from a former Tesla engineer describing SSH'ing into moving cars to do updates scared me. I don't want a car that updates or can be hacked so easily. There are other reasons but this is my biggest.

You do lose some memory to holding unnecessary code and whatever data caching that a module does. But it's not generally very much and large data caching can be pushed to Redis. If you're not buying your servers by the rack or data center it's ultimately negligible compared to development cost.

Some of the progression is very subtle, but I have found noticeable differences in each stage. For example, I see myself around Stage 6 since major distractions have ceased and I am working on dullness - this has lead to a much deeper meditation practice and I didn't fully realize dullness was a challenge until I followed this guide. Granted, the practice can be dry sometimes, so I like to sprinkle in guided meditations from the "Waking Up" app or "Insight Timer". I also HIGHLY recommend Yoga Nidra practice for those who have a difficult time falling asleep.
This is written almost exactly like an Onion article.

Edit: I see a lot of others made this same observation, I should have scrolled down more into the comments.

"Four out of five new cars sold in Norway in 2022 were battery powered, led by Tesla"
Indeed. If you want it to fail then ask it to list famous people in 1976.

Nothing special about 1976 in particular, but that was the first one I tried.

It lists 10 people who weren't born in 1976.

If you ask when a particular individual was born, in some cases it will continue with the lie and in others it will answer the correct date of birth.

Sometimes if you rephrase the question it will get it right. For example it listed Mark Zuckerberg as being born in 1976 but if I asked when the CEO of Facebook was born, it mentions Mark Zuckerberg and lists the correct year.

If you then ask it to fix the list, it will either list new people (all wrong in my experience) or make a shorter list with the person whose mistake was uncovered omitted.
If someone builds a container that is designed like this:

FROM debian

RUN do-x
RUN install python2

and then someone changes do-x, if I understand, the layers below it get invalidated and all of a sudden install python2 fails. This is very bad design but very easy to replicate.
If the technology is driven by a black box, it might be different. Right now, to the average person, there isn’t a lot of understanding of technology that currently exists. “The algorithms” is the modern day “only god knows”
Just because the monolith image contains all code doesnt mean each deployment needs to run all that code. Or even same version of the code. A deployment can run only a small portion of the code determined by deployment args. It can even run an older version than other deployments
There’s a bit of a “gentlemen’s agreement” around poaching in a lot of industries. It’s not uncommon for execs to scold each other over it. Nobody wants to start a poaching war so there’s incentive to be polite on both sides.

I recently bought a vehicle and fully considered a Tesla. In the end, I decided that the build quality wasn't what I have come to expect for a car in that price range.

There is a trend amongst luxury cars, I think driven by Tesla, of moving towards minimalism, which to me feels like a move away from luxury.
The Ioniq 6 definitely has my attention, especially the N-line variant they were showing to the press a few months back. This is the kind of thing that will pull me away from sporty ICE cars for sure.
Honest question: why not? I don't really understand the nuance of taxes. I just use a tax app and answer the questions.
If you are in society and altering your mind and impairing your judgement, you're no longer the default "you" but a chemically compromised and unpredictable actor, who may be out of control.

In her third week of college, my daughter found the naked body of a student who leapt through the eighth story dorm window to his death while tripping on magic mushrooms.

She is traumatized for life because somebody chose to make a choice with their body by ingesting unpredictable drugs.

I am fairly confident, given the state of pro-psychedelics evangelism today, that the young man expected a fun trip. Instead, he died and could have killed another student with his fall.

I eventually did.

Despite:
* distaste for musk personally
* cheap feel of cars
* concerns around fit/finish

Came down to:
* supercharger network and all the issues folks with other brands have with other charging networks
* what I perceived to be a short term technology lead and track record other manufacturers don’t have
* availability. I got a model y in 4 weeks. Some of the others I considered were a year or more out.
As a European I'm glad the CIA/Poland/aliens blew up the pipelines that were funding the Russian invasion.

Even the environmental effect was minor; the methane emission from the leaks had 1/5th of the GHG effect of my small country's, Denmark, annual GHG emission.
> Everyone wants buy once, updated forever software.

People pretend they hate Paradox Interactive's DLC-based business model, but I like knowing that the games I buy will very likely be well-developed with many years of extra work put into them. More commercial software should take a little inspiration from them in terms of figuring out a way to fund and work on projects long term.

For those that don't know, Paradox is a game publisher that often release a basic shell of a grand strategy game that serves as a platform for DLC. The bad news is you have to shell out more money every so often for the biggest new features: but the good news is that they're continuously making big improvements and adding big features and have an incentive to make them as good as possible.

I confess that I don't know exactly if this model would work for a text editor, but nothing is as off-putting to me as software subscriptions when something can work locally.
It's a bad car with a good infotainment system and driver assists 5-10 years ahead of everyone else. If you don't care about those things, there's very little reason to own one. I drive a banged up 2003 Renault and prefer its fit and finish, ergonomics and comfort to the tesla model 3. Also, I find Tesla's design ugly and charmless
GitHub is based on a decentralised version-control system, so this is not a problem. Right? ;)
So, to start, I'm a leasee of a 2021 Polestar 2 Launch Edition. My thoughts are generally based on comparisons to that car.

The architecture of Tesla's infotainment system is abhorrent to me. If there's a flaw on the system that causes it to crash, you're left out in the dust with regards to any of your information surfaces.

This is relevant since last year, there was an issue where Google Maps (which provides the map tiles for Tesla) was returning 500-style errors for requests and Tesla's entire infotainment entered a boot loop, restricting visibility on Speed and alerts generated by the car.

For contrast, Polestar based their system where the infotainment system (Android Automotive) runs as a virtual machine on top of the RTOS the runs the rest of the vehicle. This provides the system some redundancy in how things operates on multiple levels. Google Maps crashes? ANR from Android. Android crashes? Infotainment reset.

The key difference is that Polestar is a _car_ company that draws it's lineage from Volvo who is nuts about being safe in the vehicle, even at the expense of all the bells and whistles.

That's not to say that they're perfect though. Polestar's mobile app is _aweful_. It crashes frequently, it's slow to update the status, and overall it's just Volvo's app.

Anyways, if anyone has any questions about the car, I'm happy to tell both sides.
By far my biggest complaint and the #1 reason I won't buy one is Tesla's insane drive to remove almost all physical controls and lock everything behind a touch screen interface. In cars physical buttons for many things are usually better. Period. Trying to navigate a virtual menu on a touch screen (that constantly changes via software update) to activate something like the window defrost/defog isn't just inconvenient, it's dangerous.

In general the insides of the cars are far too barebones and cheap feeling. I don't get why people think them sticking a full size computer monitor in the car makes it high end. Give me refined, tactile physical buttons and controls for the features essential to safe driving and give me a cool touch screen for the other stuff.

The FSD lies. Elon's crazy antics the last few years. His "leadership" and decision making at Twitter has made me second guess everything he has a hand in. The list of "why not buy" grows longer than "why buy" every day. Especially now that the rest market has caught up and there are other actual options out there.

I also think plug-in hybrids are the best choice for many people right now. A 30-40 mile electric range gets most of us through our daily commutes, and you've got the gas motor for long trips so you don't need to plan charging in advance...you just get in the car and go.
Because I’m waiting for the delivery of this…

https://www.caranddriver.com/kia/ev6

…which looks better, is relatively affordable, has a dealer network behind it that can actually do repairs, and isn’t so…boring. A Tesla is the default—it’s what you buy to show people you have an electric car.
I believe the idiom you’re looking for here when trying to warn them is “singing Ol’ Dan Tucker to a hurricane”
The dismissal of biases and stereotypes is exactly why AI research needs more people who are part of the minority. Yoav can dismiss this because it just doesn't affect him much.

It's easy to say "Oh well, humans are biased too" when the biases of these machines don't: misgender you, mistranslate text that relates to you, have negative affect toward you, are more likely to write violent stories related to you, have lower performance on tasks related to you, etc.
Because it sounds better in many contexts, and people who use tools to make music or parts of it (e.g. drum machines, automatic accompaniment, electronic music, synthesis of instrumental parts) want these parts to sound good, so 'humanization' has been a key feature of these tools for decades. The concept is not new, it's widely used and widely accepted - the article is simply about how modern tools can do it slightly better than before.

It's perfectly normal for someone to want to, for example, use a drum machine instead of needing the collaboration of a human drummer - not needing collaboration lowers the barrier of entry and opens up possibilities of independent creativity.

It's also perfectly normal for someone composing an orchestra-like part for some project to be able to synthesize that without actually needing to involve (and pay for) a full orchestra of musicians. The orchestra might be able to interpret the score better and play the parts better than the synthetic instruments, so for large-scale projects this extra effort and cost often is appropriate, but not for all projects.
Tesla wasn't my first EV but the second one. So to partially answer your question, I didn't feel Tesla is a good value for money compared to Chevy Bolt (which was my first EV). I still believe it so. The newer models of Bolt drive even better. Tesla's build quality feels lower (cheap paint, body parts that don't seem to fit well, shitty UX with the single tablet screen)

I would still buy a Bolt over Tesla but I needed an electric SUV & model Y is the only option.
>It's hard to believe that OpenAI is actually ahead of Google.

Are Google's LLMs available for us to test out? From what I've gleaned, they've locked them up - I'd love to compare GPT vs Google's LLMs.
1. Probably can't afford one

2. Don't need a car

3. Can't drive

Tbf a few years back I watched a whole thing on the Model 3 and rather liked the look of it and it's options. I've since seen a lot more about the low build quality and the inability to repair anything outside Tesla, that I'd have questions before buying one as well. And honestly having seen Elon's fast paced 'do the first dumb idea you have without thinking about it' approach to twitter, I'm not sure I really want any Tesla, for fear he might suddenly change features there as well.
