Tesla, and even more Uber, were priced as if self driving cars are almost here. The idea that services like Uber without the drivers would make car ownership obsolete drove those valuations. Now that self driving cars are many decades away, instead of less than one decade away, is bring stock prices down. I always questions how fast we would see self driving cars, not because of the technology, but because of consumer demand. There was a survey a few years ago of how much more people would be willing to pay for cars that could drive themself, and the median answer was $0. This is because quite a few people gave a negative number, that is, they would pay extra for a car that could not drive itself.
Google isn't a tech company, it's an ad company. Apple is a tech company because they sell computers, which are information systems: Hardware counts. Chip manufacturers are also good examples of tech companies.
> see that you watched donkey midget porn once, and can blackmail you with that data

or perhaps we'll just somehow move beyond caring about that sort of stuff? if PH (for example) is hosting it, there's some level of 'legality' they want to adhere to (to stay in business). Something is patently illegal, they'll take it down. So if I'm watching something there... it may be offensive to some, but not illegal.

As a general rule, I really don't care what sort of porn or sports or movies or music a politician consumes. I already have an idea of their governing philosophy based on party affiliation, public statements, voting records. It MIGHT be a problem for people who would be exposed as hypocrites but... even that doesn't seem to have an impact any more - people just double down on party loyalty? Someone voting to remove LGBTQ protections, somehow 'caught' watching lesbian porn... Yawn. That's par for the course now.

Same here. I just upgraded to a 5950X last year (I try to go at least 3 years between upgrades) but I am salivating already.

I fully expected my data management software to be much faster on the new hardware since it uses multi-threading to make use of all those wonderful cores, but it blew me away just how fast it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVICKCkWMZE

I might have to bite the bullet later this year if the 7950X3D benchmarks look really good once it releases.

They also have by far the best charging network. IMO Teslas have the best long range driving experience. This detail is important although not the only thing to consider. However, it looms large in how Americans think about their cars.

I say this as someone who owns an electric car by a different manufacturer.
Funnily enough cars suck for people with wheelchairs compared to a specialty designed EV. Mostly due to the doors, lack of a ramp, misplaced steering column and an unnecessary chair.

Turning a wheelchair into a speedy electric vehicle is quite easy if not cheap. It's one wheel removed from an electric recumbent trike.
Tesla has only delivered a handful of relatively small "Megapack" grid storage battery systems so far. And they have had multiple fires.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/20/tesla-megapack-battery-caugh...

Grid storage might eventually be a major business for Tesla but I doubt that it will drive huge profits. They don't have any unique sustainable competitive advantage and the customers are extremely price sensitive, so I expect long term profit margins to be low.
I feel you. Mid-30s Java lifer here.

I got way more pessimistic as I got older: bugs are here to stay, bosses will keep their buddies and fire trouble makers, the project will be wrong the first time, need a costly rewrite, and won't be used once it's finished.

Just drink the Java and spit out the stack traces.

This is natively supported in PagerDuty, OpsGenie, etc. Routing, time-based suppression, alert reminders, etc. I’ve tried to implement all of that in Alertmanager itself, and it’s much easier to just swipe the card.

As for the dashboard, there’s an Alertmanager data source for Grafana that’s super easy to set up. If you have Grafana already I would just go ahead and do it since it takes maybe ten minutes.
This is a bigger deal then the title suggests since it appears it would be retroactive and nullify existing non competes

> The commission’s proposal appears to address this issue by requiring employers to withdraw existing noncompetes and to inform workers that they no longer apply. The proposal would also make it illegal for an employer to enter into a noncompete with a worker or to try to do so, or to suggest that a worker is bound by a noncompete when he or she is not.

This is very unclear to me, and seemingly experts, if the FTC has this power, but it would be very far reaching if it were to go into effect. Given the hostility of the current Supreme Court to federal agencies, the pessimist in me says that this would be challenged by an employer go all the way to the supreme court and be used by them to dramatically limit the power of FTC

Amazon has never made sense to me. Living in Toronto the regular free shipping usually arrives in 1-2 days anyways. Is this wildly different in other cities? My partner pays for prime and I usually just order on my account anyways since there is little difference. Even if there is I rarely need something urgently.
Microsoft just released Stable Diffusion competitor: https://designer.microsoft.com/
Same. It was a chore to churn through the discs and watch whole seasons of shows like the X-files, but by god we did it.
Actually after having tested a couple of other cars, for instance the Renault Megane, the BMW i4 and the Mercedes EQE have better enhanced drive assistance than Tesla. For instance:

* when in full-auto on a single lane road, when there's an exit on the right the Tesla 3 almost always slightly swerve towards the exit before coming back in its lane. None of the Megane, the EQE or the BMW i4 do that.

* To overtake a slower vehicle, the Megane and i4 are better : simply push the left blinker, then the car switch lanes and accelerates BEFORE having entirely switched lane, like a human driver would do.

* The mapping and charge planning on the BMW and particularly the EQE/EQS are arguably slightly superior now to Tesla (though Tesla is still a bit easier). Renault is very close, and Kia/Hyundai isn't far behind either.

> Isn't RISC-V continually adding new complexity as it attempts to scale up

On the contrary, some extensions are pretty clearly designed for simplicity. For example the original 'M' extension implemented both multiply and divide insns, but it was found that the latter were not always useful and required large area. So a multiply-only extension was created. The basic set of integer instructions is the one thing that's anywhere close to immutable about "RISC-V", anything else is potentially open to replacement with something better, though of course with the cost of some incompatibility.

And actually, even the base set is not totally unchangeable as shown by the RV-E variant, halving the number of integer registers to 16.
Ahhh, ok! Makes sense, thanks!
Stable Diffusion is the only one you can host yourself or even run locally on desktop & mobile if your hardware allows. You can train your own styles and concepts using Dreambooth method (aka fine-tuning on a very small dataset) for 1.x models, or use textual inversion / LoRA / embeddings for 2.x models. SD2 is much more difficult to fine-tune so folks have been using these alternative methods. Embeddings can represent a specific style and are easier to compose. They are storage-efficient as well (<= 1 MB if I remember correctly).

DALL-E is good for surreal memes or some kinds of art. It works well for outpainting. For other use-cases it falls behind on realism and flexibility.

Midjourney has come a long way and generates very aesthetically pleasing images. But it's very opinionated to allow for ease of use for new users. And it can get expensive if you need to generate many images.
I mean what do you expect - for them to build everything down to a screw in-house in order to do manufacturing ?

Final assembly, fit and finish - those are very important things on high end cars - and as Tesla demonstrated - not that easy to do even when you're flush with cash.

Apple outsources all of it's production - I'd be surprised if they can get premium car assembly from Foxconn model when Tesla is still having issues.
I know here in Colorado they recently passed a law that under a certain pay you cannot be made to sign a noncompete. However it was only like $110k so wasn't going to help many developers.
Once a gov id is linked to a user id then I'd only expect to need a user id to login again in private mode. I'm assuming they store it in case the gov needs to audit people's porn preferences.
Last time I went car shopping, I saw a digital speedometer which irritated me for some reason so I rejected that model from further consideration.
Nobody is saying it’s unreasonable. Just that there remains a valid justification for owning a car. Not driving it everywhere, all the time. But having one.
Yeah, this is the field I worked in for my PhD. You can't transmit information this way though.

Given that it was literally a terms of service violation, and resolution was to remove the content in question (ie. this wasn’t GitHub saying “we were wrong” it was them saying, don’t do that or you’re banned)… it seems difficult to be particularly sympathetic.
Well, the market has also spoken as to what kind of councils get elected and what kind of plans those councils approve. Of course, that's in large part because car owners pay infrastructure taxes cyclists don't. But that's also precisely what the market is - the segment who's paying. If wishes built livable cities there'd probably be more of them.
I found myself nodding along with the author's musings and don't have much to add. I just want to say that I love their site. I'm putting together a personal site of my own and I want to steal some of their ideas, especially the "View Source" page tool at the bottom.
Yeah, the challenge is that after decades many of these firms actually had their onprem solutions dialed in. VMs can exist in the datacenter as well, and by the year 2022 most places have this stuff unbooked & behind a ticketing system with a defined SLA.

Unfortunately when these slow moving medium/big firms then move into the cloud, they re-invent all the opacity, inertia, and other issues that they had solved onprem already. Some think they can just replace 25 DC ops people with 2 cloudOps and somehow its going to all just work out.
Meh. They'll just carve an exception for sites that serve user uploaded content to gate specific communities that host porn. Reddit already does this, so it would be trivial for them to add an ID check for NSFW subreddits.
Airgun would be sufficient for crows and squirrels, is safer to use in densely populated areas, and comes with less regulation everywhere. Still a good idea to check game regulations on your targets though.
Does tesla have better range because they have better batteries, or just bigger batteries?

> No fapper in their right mind is submitting their ID to pornhub to have a wank.

How come so? People literally pay for porn content with their credit cards which is a form of identification too. I don't see a problem with showing your id for accessing quality content.
No it isn't.

The highest resolution supported by standards compliant DVD is 720x480 at 30hz, or 720x576 for 25hz/PAL.
The 7950X3D looks interesting, but I think the cache is on one CCD so it might only boost to 5GHz and the other CCD boosts to 5.7 as it doesn't have the cache.

When I studied for my Applied Physics degree there were exams twice a year to weed out those who couldn't hack it but these exams could contain questions on absolutely anything that was part of the whole course.

However the class of one's degree (first, second, etc.) depended only on the finals and the oral examination of the final year experimental work. The intermediate examinations counted for nothing except to justify your continued study.

On demand learning doesn't work in such an environment you have to have simultaneously a broad and a deep understanding of the system of physics not just isolated bits of it.

> I have a Tesla and I also hold a short position on TSLA. My Tesla is a great car.

This shouldn't have to be a position that requires any kind of defense or explanation. There's nothing contradictory about believing that:

1) A company makes a great product
2) The quality of that product and its total addressable market justifies the company's value at $X
3) The market cap of that company is far, far higher than $X
Ah yes, I wanted to arm her with some information (and I value a HN reference above a _more random_ internet source) about it so she can see with her doctor.

Doctors in Croatia tend to be very flippant with medications. This goes as far as pharmacies having to sometime refuse giving medications due to known adverse interactions (sometimes dangerous even). Apparently their software should warn them of this the same way pharmacies get alerted of it, but I guess they dont care?

SQLite clearly says "not interested in your code". At all.

It's not like they are unfriendly. They will happily discuss things in detail with you, but you can publish your own extension. SQLite proper is developed by Mr. Hipps and his friends/employees.

A very sensible model, if you ask me.
I have generally been against piracy. My one carve out has been live sporting events like NFL games. Due to the local games being chosen by networks, it's difficult to get specific games. Maybe I could get direct TV but it seems excessively expensive.

For everything else, like music, movies, tv shows, etc., I hope people at least try to see if a local library system near you has access to the material.
I think in this case, Pornhub isn't "luring" your kids to do anything. In any case, the parents can always put up a website blocker. If the kid continues to try and get on the website and even finds a way to disable the blocker, is that PornHub "luring" ?

That doesn't really surprise me. On the flip side, I can get high quality transcriptions for $1/minute (given good audio quality).

People, even those with better than average talent at some things, just often aren't that expensive. I suspect the same is true for some of the generative AI tasks that people are all excited about--new grad English majors are pretty cheap, especially if they can be assisted by search/generative AI.

That’s an incredible stretch of the term “evidence” when these are commodity parts involved in tens of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of parts of the supply chain. If the US found cutting edge components from US companies that were actually specialized and more rare you might have a point, but these are parts you can find in literally any electronic good. They are defined as electronics by using these electronic components.
I think competition is the key. 2022 was the year that we started to really see the incumbents flex their muscle and prove that they could build just as good an EV as a dedicated EV manufacturer. Combine that with their proven ability to build cars profitably and it starts to make the future of the startup manufacturers look pretty bleak. It's an extremely competitive market with a huge barrier to entry.

My suspicion is that in the next 5 years or so, Rivian, Lucid, and similar startups will be defunct. I expect Tesla to persist long term, as their financials are decent now. Though I think their product strategy is very non-conventional and if consumers aren't convinced by it then it could be a stumbling block to their future success.

> Have you read Enoch 1?

Yes, among many other religious texts (whole Orthodox Biblical canon + a bunch of pseudoepigraphical works, most of the Buddhist canon, Taoist and Hindu works, some ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts, Quran, etc...). Got way too sidetracked in University. It's interesting though.

> Also, Genesis does not merely reference Enoch, it introduces him

Of course he was a character mentioned in Genesis but references to things from the book of Enoch (Nephilim/Giants/half-god humans) are more interesting.

This is the point of the original post isn't it? An old/cheap DSLR will not beat an iPhone in most scenarios. I found that to be true, although I did expect the old camera to beat the iPhone due to "physics". It seems the advantage the iPhone has is largely in the software doing the image processing as well as ease of the UI, focusing/depth finding, bracketing etc.
