In January 2023, the Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) is poised to launch into orbit a prototype, dubbed the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD), which will test several key components of an ambitious plan to harvest solar power in space and beam the energy back to Earth.
And what a mistake that has been.
The only time I've ever heard of a noncompete being enforced was when an IT worker bid against his employer on a contract renewal he was working on, and won. His newly former employer had sued him and won, and made him unhappy for a long time via the courts. Some things like noncompetes really exist for the worst case scenario, but is threatened in all cases.
You used to be able to buy water heaters that would last forever. My house had one from the 1950's with a copper tank. Still going strong. Just don't be convinced b y the repair man to get a new one when you have to replace the thermocouple every 8 years or so. The furnace is from the late 1980's, still fine.

I'm not sure if such well made devices are still available for purchase however.

> To be fair, there is substantial interest in using things like Stable Diffusion to generate pornography. There are several projects for hentai, etc.

Wanting to making pornography is perfectly normal and healthy; that's not something I consider icky. When I quoted "icky stuff" I thought we were talking about the generation of underage subjects.
It's almost certainly opt-out for founders, I would be very surprised if they individually went back and got permission from every founder for the past decade before creating this.

I see someone I know would have said no if asked, for example, as their time at YC was pretty awful and resulted in what they consider to be shameful failure.

That criminals break laws and crimes require investigation and prosecution which are activities that have associated expenses is not new.

You have to remember that both investigation and prosecution involve a large amount of discretion, so the cost of the sanctions regime is dynamic and variable. Enforcement can put a small effort against low-value components and put a large effort into violations of high-value components. If the small effort put against low-value components deters some activity, then the goals of the sanctions regime are furthered.
I hope this isn't presumptive but I have struggled with mental health for years and one thing I have noticed is my tendency to withdraw and focus on the differences between myself and others. Yes, it seems you have some opinions that are controversial and that I myself don't agree with. But, you probably also have a lot more in common with people than you may be giving yourself credit for. And don't bother trying to figure out which side fits you better - it's a false dichotomy. Yes, there are talking points that are different but when it comes down to it the actual people who control the parties are the same breed.
Control loops with SQLite no just in the loop but written around it, could you please elaborate? Sounds interesting.
I switched fields entirely to get out of teaching. It is kinda fun but also very stressful and very underpaid. If teaching paid well i would probably keep doing it, but i can't afford to dedicate that much time to something if I'm not making enough money to pay someone to help out at home.

My mom is still in software, and she says her plan for after software is to be a cashier at trader Joe's and spend all her free time going hiking and to the beach. She's about to be 60. If you're gonna go for a random-ass job, make it something that doesn't require a new education or physical skill unless you're already very physically skilled. You're gonna have a major drop in salary, and that's just something you have to plan for. If you think about it and you value the change in lifestyle more than the money then go for it.
> And I'm for the most part not a fan of "censoring" code.

Well as many have said years ago, private companies like GitHub can censor anyone at anytime and point at the ToS no matter how vauge, opaque it is. They just have to give you notice, and they can still do it again to anyone else.

There is nothing shocking about this. What is really amusing is that people continue to expect a centralized version control management service to not enforce 'censorship' on their own services and products and when they do, everyone here is throwing a tantrum about it.

There is always an option to self-host your own GitLab, Gitea instance if you don't like what GitHub is doing.
Prior to going out on my own at a precociously young age, my time in corporate America (~3.5 years) was fairly brief, and less than half of it spent at companies large enough to have an HR apparatus in any meaningful sense.

I always found their seeming double-agent role confusing and ambiguous in a slightly sinister way, even as they preached that they were there for us workforce people if we needed anything.
I read the comment as sarcasm but we know how well that translates in pure text.
But that doesn't mean that the creator of this repo needs to bend the knee to other people's beliefs and morals about what he should or should not do in relation to running the project.

It's like going to an artists twitter and then complaining that their art style is garbage and that they should change it. No one is forcing you to consume that person's content.

Not all content on the internet needs to appeal to everyone even if everyone is on the internet.
Analogies are not arguments.

An example of an economy outputting businesses at the highest levels of performance while barring non competes is an argument.
1. Lithium isn't the only mineral to be concerned about.

2. "The technology will improve" is not always a reliable strategy. Fusion is perpetually almost here, for example.

3. Without a federal money printer propping up the EV market it would not exist.

4. Just because a lifestyle works great for you, e.g. walkable cities and ebikes, doesnt mean it will work for everyone.

5. How far into a dictatorial, command economy, are we capable of going into to effect a massive energy transition, i.e. how much do we force changes a substantial number of people have serious problems with?
> I'm not sure what sort of tires were fitted but it seemed to struggle more when FSD was engaged vs. the human driver.

As a Canadian who has driven in snow for 33 years "blaming the tires" is odd. Most of my life i drove on all seasons and only got "snow tires" 4 years ago because I get a discount on my insurance for having them.

The reason it is having issues is because it is attempting to accelerate too quickly for the road conditions. Perhaps snow tires might help a bit, but if it is unable to handle "all seasons" and a bit of snow.. that itself is a problem and snows may not fix it because they are not some sort of magic that suddenly gives you amazing traction on something slippery like snow.

If there is over a few CM of snow on the ground, i can spin my 2 yer old snow tires as fast as i want... Speedo showing 90km/h while i am hardly moving... All i need to do is disconnect the TC and press hard on the gas, the snows quickly lose traction and spin.

The human driver is obviously lighter on the acceleration due to road conditions and so less TC is needed.
shooting 8k means you can make more framing mistakes and still have a full 4k resolution. it also allows video stabilization without sacrificing resolution. always assuming you are targetting 4k but shoot in 8k.
Very neat. Do you implement option parsing in "magic getopt" or can you (somehow?) handle setting up the option string arguments used by the more familiar variants in getopt(3)?
I appreciate your input and it helps to clarify my point as well.

I believe we agree on most everything else if not our perception of the poster.
The blocklist is quite stupid though, the .ru TLD is totally banned, for example.

Russia is obviously hated due to their war, but banning .ru is just dumb.

They had a lot of money and needed somewhere to put it. Then just back-rationalized the higher multiples from there.
The Atlantic article Jalopnik cites is here:

I see it as an armchair rant about how great acceleration performance will decrease safety, and then tacking on an argument about EVs not being a bullet for climate change.
Things have been "good enough" since 2012. But then VSCode and bigger webpages came along and suddenly a Core2Duo just doesn't cut it anymore. ML models need somewhere to run, locally, and both Apple and Google have dedicated hardware on smartphones for that. Support for bigger and bigger models (read GPU performance) in smaller and smaller packages is just the latest iteration of progress.
Not everyone
If FTX and the pathetic Elon-simping txts from the Twitter lawsuit discovery have revealed anything, it's that once you reach a certain level of wealth you're so immune from consequences that losing money has zero effect on you personally, and since most of these guys are extremely ego-centric to begin with, that removes the only constraint they seriously cared about. There are exceptions to this, but that seems to be the trend.

Billionaires in general aren't playing 4D chess, why would they? 4D chess is hard, requires sacrifice and valuing something bigger than oneself and one's bank account. Much easier to jump on popular hype trains. If it works you look like a genius and have a million stans to stroke you off, and money number go up so you can flex on other billionaires. If it fails nothing really happens to you personally.

SBF wasn't actually at that level, but he had enough paper wealth that he clearly thought he was. We're watching the wealthy equivalent of that COVID-denier who, with their last breath before being intubated, calls the doctors and nurses who diagnosed them liars.

The specs say: [1]

DC Fast Charge Time (10-80% @ 350 kW via Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) Level 3 Charger: Approx. 18 min.

and

Drive Battery Energy: 77.4 kWh

The battery is 77.4 kWh. This implies the battery is charging at 180kW.

If it were taking in the full 350kW and losing 170kW as heat that would be one (inefficient and dangerous) thing, but it doesn't sound like it actually draws 350kW?

For comparison, they say 73min for charging at 50kW, which implies the battery is charging at 45kW. If we figure that same 10% loss, then to charge at 180kW it's probably drawing 200kW from the charger.

[2] 70% * 77.4 kWh * (60min / 1h) / 18 min = 181 kW
You misunderstand why W&C was important (although, given your username, I assume you've already sat through the lectures): in elucidating (not discovering) the structure of DNA, they had a biophysical mechanism that explained heredity (specifically, that it was an antiparallel double helix with complementary bases, which immediately suggests a mechanism for replication).

That recognition immediately led to a flurry of follow-on work confirming the mechanism and birthing molecular biology as we know it, which opened up vast new areas of science.

It can easily be regulated. Enforcement is a different issue.

Governments will need to subsidise EVs and create better mass-transit for those that cannot make the switch, but this is really a personal decision based on their own pros and cons. In a fully renewable grid how is using public transport over your EV orders of magnitude lower?
In Portland a guy had his ear bitten, and ~100 people died in their cars in crashes.
I reject the premise of the question, because you don't need lithium for electric vehicles. We could get by with shitty low-range batteries the way other EVs have. We would just need to standardize battery-swapping at the equivalent of gas stations. Drive 100 miles, drive into a battery-swapping station, service technician swaps the battery, you're back on the road in less than 5 minutes. We did it 100 years ago, we can do it again. So lithium isn't a blocker.

I also think we shouldn't own as many personal vehicles as we do, and should start to move legislation toward more funding of better (and faster, and more efficient) public transit, and more taxing of private vehicles. We don't need to have so many private vehicles, we are just addicted to them.

I disagree with the "mostly harmless" take in the article.

HR is the group everyone, regardless of where they stand in a company, must be the most careful in dealing with. They are beurocrats and, in modern western companies, are becoming ideological commissars.

One of the strongest suggestions I would make to anyone going into white collar work is to avoid HR as much as possible, and be extremely careful of everything you say to them when you do interact with them. For leaders, be very careful about how you let HR grow. Keep it as small as possible and do not let it get into the business of controlling your culture.
Which is why it's silly to have sanctions that aren't transitive.

That is actually not an option as there is no license on the first-party code in this repository (the only licenses I've seen being of a few third-party dependencies listed in html/licenses.html), so it isn't even clear to me you can legally clone it ;P... forking it would seem extremely problematic.

the wheelchair argument is bs, I agree. every family does not need to have a car for the small fraction of wheelchair users to get to the store.

however, you are not going to connect with your audience when you say things like this:

> How often do you travel those 200 miles? Why can't you use a car share service for that one occasion? I'm not assuming people never travels beyond their city.

cars are not fungible. the driver's seat in my car is always in the right position for me, I'm familiar with all of its controls and weird quirks, and I don't need to reserve it. it's always ready for me in my garage at a moment's notice.

my point is: the only real advantage to your proposal is cost, and I would be willing to pay a lot more than I currently do to keep my car. it would take something more like Japan's train network for me to actually be enthusiastic about giving up my car.
As battery charges its pretty common to taper the charge rate to improve health of the battery. To my knowledge, no EV today will sit at 350kw for the full 10 to 80 percent even if it can draw this. You still get faster charge times as the full draw can usually happen at close to empty, but charge rate will taper as battery fills. 181kw average is still pretty great - there are many EVs on sale that still max draw at 50 (looking at you VW...).
> but then shouldn't the argument be: how to accomplish this without those effects?

Nope. I think it's perfectly fine to raise issues and tell someone to go off and fix their proposal without my assistance.

It's not like there's some time sensitive pressure that I help collaborate to get some minimal solution in place as fast as possible. Kids have been looking at internet porn for the last 25 years and this law won't meaningfully curb that, regardless of how perfect age verification tech ever gets.
> And this is about the only way they hold up in court

I think if your company gets bought and you get stock compensation of the company buying it, both as a founder or an employee, they can also make it hold in court.

The onboarding was optimal for you, having the non-compete was not optimal for you. The ideal situation would be to have that great onboarding experience while also not having a non-compete, something that companies in California do all the time.

Companies in general aren't anyone's friend, in that, ideally, a company is a machine designed to make money within the constraints of law and the ethical rules the leadership decides to follow.
