Signal speed in fiber is about ⅔ of that in vacuum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber#Refractive_index), but fiber won’t be straight-line between sender and receiver, light doesn’t move in a straight line inside the fiber, and the switched adds delays.

https://www.pingdom.com/blog/theoretical-vs-real-world-speed...: “you should probably double the “ideal” response times shown above for a more realistic target to aim at“

So yes, ⅓ of light speed in vacuum seems a decent heuristic.
This keeps coming up and I'm wondering what's Waymo's goal? Is it to be licensed self-driving product?

If that's the case and any manufacturer could just license Waymo's tech I'd think that relying on Telsa to win at autopilot is suspect.

Not exactly this, but there was a proposal that would allow for typescript type hints to be considered as normal JS syntax: (in the same way python PEP 484 – Type Hints are considered optional type hints)

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations

Deno on the server side is pretty cool and uses https://swc.rs/ (Speedy Web Compiler) - doesn't take forever to start, but kinda implements typescript as if it was just a type annotations without the more in-depth actual type checking, so it is possible.
Do something that's not productive or responsible or related to your long term goals! I have this too, and I think part of my strategy is that I'm not trying to get rid of the desire to do stuff. I'm just looking for stuff to do that isn't related to any goal or person/project that puts pressure on me.

Some stuff i like to do: trying to learn bike tricks. Making random origami. Drawing and planning tattoos i want to get. Listening to podcasts about weird history or crime stories. Making models and minis.
I disagree on this, I've been on websites where I've stumbled on CP right there on the suggestion box, this has never happened to me on pornhub.
Grokking RISC-V Vector Processing
The Alpha was RISC, and, as seen in page 14 of this very long, very interesting set of slides, it eventually got passed in raw MHz by x86 chips (specifically, the 1 GHz AMD Athlon vs the 667 MHz Alpha 21164 around the year 2000) but you can see it was a close race

https://users.nik.uni-obuda.hu/sima/letoltes/Processor_famil...

This PDF shows the Alpha 21164 was superscalar:

That kind of argument seems to presuppose that humanity is distinct from nature. It's not unique in that, of course; lots of things people say presuppose that humanity is separate from nature, so in that sense, it's a perfectly ordinary argument to make. On the other hand, I personally think of humanity as a part of nature like any other, which makes those sorts of arguments seem odd to me.
Workers have mechanisms to balance that power. E.g., forming a union, which could ensure the contract is more fair. I don't know what to make of the fact that they don't use them.

In your opinion, is there a reason why something like a union couldn't be used to negate or modify non-compete clauses?
Still less of a power imbalance than talking about the government. Let's not forget that the government is the one who enforces those non-competes. So you're really only talking about one subset of the government authority.

I think non-competes for workers should be banned. But I'm just saying there are other more feudalistic examples (good or bad) that exist.
Does the garbage truck fleet cause massive emissions? I feel like this is a strawman argument. Global warming is real and as a society, we need to change our ways, but I'm not sure that things like municipal utility vehicles are going to be the difference between us making it as a society and not. And if we were to have to choose between which vehicles should be electric vs ICE, it's clear that there is a greater societal benefit to the municipal vehicles.

If Americans were to make a slight change in their meat eating habits, I'd imagine the effect would be orders of magnitude greater than all the garbage trucks in the US, let alone just NYC.
I pay for Netflix and Prime Video.

I pirate stuff when it's somewhere else or when it's not available anywhere (surprisingly that's 50% of cases, but maybe that's just my country). So the spread availability is one of the problems, but not having a chance to watch something legally is another.

The same problem is with videogames. Some of them can't be bought anymore (excluding used physical copies on CD/DVD, but that's not something I prefer).

Pirating movies is even legal in my coutry - it's legal to download a movie that's already shared - I just can't share it. So at least they can't jail me for this sporadic crime.

Do I feel bad? Partially. I'd prefer to pay, I love paying for stuff that's even free (donations), but I don't want to feel like I'm an animal that predators want to lacerate.
Thanks, this is actually very useful, and I will almost certainly use it.

But, I still think there are real issues here, regarding empowering parents to guide their children to appropriate resources and away from resources they view as negative (it’s not just sex, either, it’s stuff on YouTube as well). The tools just aren’t that good.

One thing I’d really like on YouTube is the ability to accept YouTube’s default recommendations, but then whitelist/blacklist additional channels at my discretion. Currently it’s YouTube’s recommendations, or curate everything yourself, making the latter really hard.

The market isn't free if you're not allowed to work/compete in it.
It will be more like statistics convince some people, and then "my friend has one and he loves it, and I've ridden in it, so now I'm comfortable with it" will over time convince the rest.
I don't think this is true anymore, since they recently started rolling out discounts on vehicles, which is usually a sign of overstock / slowing demand [0]

Kind of looks like an inflamed pilonidal cyst.
I guess I kind of wish they would just offer the AI narration as a feature of Apple ebooks. Such that, if you buy the book, you can have ebooks read to you by your phone. I am really just buying books off audible with the subscription they offer. There are some books (tech books that is) that are offered as audio books and I gobble those up. There are, however, many more epub/digital books that I never buy not because I'm uninterested in the content but only because I don't have the time to sit down. I assume that for said books the audience isn't large enough (and may never be) to merit anyone ever recording the audiobook.

There are certain books that I think I'll always buy the non-AI variant because narrators can bring more than natural reading, they sometimes bring different characters (sometimes more feminine, more baritone, more stereotypical accents) -- and I would melt if AI could do that kind of voice acting.
This example seems extra crazy. The only entities it protects are large companies. The biggest threat to a local bakery is not their employee leaving and starting their own bakery, but a large bakery chain coming in and undercutting their prices. No non-compete will help with that. Meanwhile, the large bakery chain does benefit from being able to stop you from baking for someone else if you leave their employ. At a minimum it helps them suppress wages.
Yes, it does abuse people. I do not think any reasonable person thinks it's good for children to be watching sexualized, humanoid, animals engaging in various sexual acts as being okay. I don't think it's good for adults either as it blurs the line and promotes depravity, encouraging attraction to animals or animalistic things.
could you share a bit more? Why were you banned? What did they not approve of. As someone who's considered YC, it would be great to know some of this
I agree, absolute freedom doesn't mean a desirable outcome will occur for individuals or society, or that freedom even remains the defacto standard. Free markets are often a vacuum waiting for a bully to fill & exploit.
I know I'm not going to change your mind, but this viewpoint just seems so strange and morbidly fascinating. What exactly does "exposure to homosexuality" even mean? These shows and movies aren't depicting gay sex. They aren't trying to convince straight kids that they are gay. They aren't even advocating politics. What specific content do you object to? My kid is Disney movie aged, and we've watched em all--it's exhausting. But, I've never seen anything even remotely objectionable. "Gays exist" is about as far as any of them go. Is that really what's objectionable?

Chinese manufacturers frequently make counterfeit parts and stamp fake US company logos on them. Even if the parts were authentic, they certainly weren't sold directly to Iran. Middlemen in other countries not under sanctions buy them, and then re-export them. There is literally no way for US companies to prevent this, they don't have that kind of reach or power.
What's a Satan?
Viewing Tesla from afar, I've noticed...

--

The Good:

I remain excited by their large die castings, aka gigipresses. It seems to me this will lead to better fit and finish (eg. the unforgivable panel gaps).

I support their cradle to grave supply chain integration.

I like that they make their own tech such as chips and batteries.

IIRC, Tesla leads in reducing part count and labor hours.

--

The Bad:

Terrible labor relations.

Psychotic spokesmodel.

Declining brand value.

Reportedly poor quality software.

Bad FSD strategy. No LIDAR, wtf?

--

The Unknown:

Future cost of capital? Tesla previously had some clever sources of revenue. Govt investment, incentives for EVs, selling emissions credits to other OEMs, customer provided capital thru pre-sales. What's Tesla future play?

Tesla could offer auto insurance, capturing some of that idle capital, a la Buffet & Geico.

Employee morale. Compensation thru stock options is fantastic for growth companies. With the recent devaluation, I'd be super pissed and looking for a new gig.

Their rollout of the 4680 battery with new chemistry seems to troubled. This seems important.

Can their reboot of FSD R&D catch up? New team, finally accepting need for LIDAR, etc.

Rollout of Cybertruck seems contingent on 4680 transition. What's plan 'B'?

Will executive board (investors) boot Elon Musk? He really seems like Tesla's ongoing biggest risk, biggest liability. ("Thank you your service, here's your award plaque, now please go away.")

> Chromecast... crappy technology.

Absolutely 100% agree. Like Bluetooth and USB, it's built to work with a whole pile of stuff out in the real world that the devs didn't have access to for testing / didn't exist yet when it was standardized, so it's got some grabasstical corner cases.

... problem is, it's also got like 36 million users, so it's incumbent upon anything that claims to be a "streaming service" to account for those quirks to work in 36 million living rooms (in the same sense that it's not Bluetooth's "fault" when the new car or headphones on the market don't pair with already-existing popular brands of mobile phone).

If we had one streaming app to rule them all, it could consolidate the quirks fixes and we'd be all good. The fact that market competition means everyone has to solve for those quirks individually and is disincentivized to share solutions is a PITA for end users.
Car companies arguably operate in _the_ most heavily competitive and capital intensive industry on Earth. Like airlines, there's an argument that they can only manage to exist due to government subsidy. If Tesla evaporated tomorrow, Hyundai/Kia would likely eat their lunch; in a few years, GM will be ready.

It's a brutal business, which is why I think it's fascinating.

> This is actually super interesting in that Article 1. Section 10 suggests this requires Congressional approval.

The UCC is not an interstate compact in the sense of Article 1 Section 10. They're merely the same code that each state chose to adopt, with no legal ability for any other state to question if one state chooses to deviate from it in part or whole. It absolutely does not require Congressional approval. Interstate compacts are more like treaties that states make with each other.

You're absolutely right that state sovereignty has been steadily eroding, and I posit that this is to everyone's disadvantage. As in your example, just because states' rights were once used to champion the evil cause of slavery then later Jim Crow, does not mean that the whole concept of states' rights is wrong.

Besides, tort and contract laws are historically the primary domain of state law. I don't see why the US Congress has to be the one to define it for everyone.

Generally, I think it's pretty normal to interpret "POSIX compliant" as a minimum requirement, and then extend that to your own whims as long as you don't break the POSIX part.
The AMX units are really nice, especially because you can use them simply with standard sgemm through the Accelerate framework. However, in most applications where latency is not an issue, you'll probably want to use Metal Performance shaders instead, not only are they much faster most applications, they can also be more energy efficient.

For instance, we did benchmarks of spaCy (natural language processing) transformer models across various Apple Silicon SoCs and MPS was 1.9x (M1) to 5.5x faster (M1 Ultra) while providing far more performance per Watt. E.g. using MPS on an M2 MacBook Air used 4W less energy while being 2.7x faster than AMX.

Full benchmarks are at the end of this post:

For so many years, the car ads were selling us freedom. The open road, and you're in the driver's seat. Driving could be fun, not just a means of getting somewhere. Sure, they were trying to manipulate public perception, but they were doing so in a way that resonated with a lot of people.

A robot driving your car? Where's the fun in that?

Pirate movie streaming sites are better now than in the old days. The recommended content is more relevant. There are no agenda driven promotions. The related content is related to the content, not some politicized algorithm trained on other people's tastes. There's no geotargetting garbage. I've never seen, "Content not available in your country" on a piracy site. And since when did I own an entire country?

Whatever gets the most clicks generally makes it to the home page. You can also search or browse by actor, genre and other data they've imported from IMDB.

No need to sign up or sign in. Just start watching the movies you want for free. Unless you feel obligated to pay, I'm not sure why you wouldn't?

Pop-unders if you even see them on your system are still a lesser evil than ads mid stream in DRM content or dark patterns pressuring you to install some horribly bloated app. Just click and they are gone.

You can usually download the video directly over and watch it later from these streaming sites. Opening a video file in the video player of your choice and watching it whenever you like, however you like. It is almost like you own the computer and can do whatever you please with the data contained within. Imagine that.

Not my "position" - just observation. It seems to me a sort of super block fragmentation is over the time horizon. B.E. -> A.E. -> Oceania. Maybe the carrot bit is membership.
It really does seem to me that the simplest solution would be to require non-competes to be paid at the maximum of the past ~N years total earnings (and benefits value), with a minimum of say $100k/year.
You are right, they do. But in practice it doesn't materialize. The other problem with "just create a union" besides the risk involved and inequality of bargaining power in starting a union in the first place is that you typically create a bureaucratic institution which has its own drag on economic efficiency. Banning non-competes has no clear downside, but does have clear upside. It makes sense to allow workers to form unions and to also ban non-competes.
I'm running a 5800x and a 3080 Ti, primarily for gaming and a bit of machine learning (for everything else I use a Mac). As I game at 4K there are definitely scenarios where upgrading would be helpful; games like Cyberpunk, A Plague Tale: Requiem, or The Callisto Protocol don't run particularly well on my setup. And ray tracing in general can be a challenge.

Of course, 4/5s of what I play are indies that would run on a potato, so it's probably not worth upgrading. I nevertheless probably will build a new computer later on in the year, and a 4080 / 5800x3D combo is awfully tempting ...

In France a non-compete clause must be attached to financial compensation or it is considered void.
> the free market ideal

I don't think that's the free market ideal. Let's switch away from employers vs. employees and ask, "Would an ideal free market allow companies to collude to fix prices? Would an ideal free market allow consortiums of companies to set up exclusivity contracts with vendors to block competition from entering the market? Would an ideal free market allow companies with profits in a monopoly to run other businesses at a steep loss to prevent competition?"

"Freedom from regulations" is a very thorny problem, it rarely leads to what people imagine are "free" markets.

Worth noting that list is each model's top trims. The Model 3 Long Range is currently unavailable for purchase.

I wish the EPA would clamp down on manufacturer's range estimates, as those ranges are theoretical (perfect driving with no real acceleration, no climate control, etc). We need practical city/highway range like we get for ICE cars. My EV6 is rated at 310, but driving as conservatively as possible in Houston I get more like 285. On a road trip where it was mostly exposed freeway and cruise control, my range was closer to 220.

Should also probably disclose range in freezing temps as well (I'm in Houston so I don't consider that as much as others). The first manufacturer to solve that problem well would possibly be a better car than one with a larger theoretical range.
they are the leader in claimed range not realize range.
Early in the pandemic, I subscribed to Stitch Fix as a way of trying on new clothes without having to physically step into a store for prolonged periods of time. In those early months, it was pretty good - the stylist assigned to me quickly got a sense of my style and sent me things I often wanted to keep. The only thing I sent back regularly was shoes, not because I didn't like them, but because the size was often off by one and I needed to swap it out.

Then sometime that year, they laid off a ton of their stylists and I assume I was then assigned to someone (or some algorithm) that did not have as much time or care to put into recommendations. I started to get sent what was essentially repeats - the same articles of clothing I was sent a few months ago, but in a different color. After a few months of sending back over 80% of what I was sent, I cancelled my subscription.
