They make it sound like a lot of power by multiplying with the number of phones in the world and converting it to coal fired power stations using a ridiculously small power station size of 50MW. For comparison the new solar capacity installed in 2022 (not including everything built from 1900-2021) was 5000 times as much as this, 268GW. Yes, global numbers are big.
On my browser (with an adblocker), "best air fryer" gives me a list of review articles and best-of articles from relatively reputable outlets (Good housekeeping, homes and gardens, etc).

this is arguably the most useful as links to American stores are useless to me, a review article from a newspaper, and the other Amazon) and tagged as such ("sponsored"), and everything after that is relatively the same results.

At least in the UK, it would very much be the fault of the driver in front, especially if there was that much CCTV footage available (there won't be, which is why dashcams are important - the US's obsession with blanket CCTV coverage scores a point here).

The second car had left a more than adequate stopping distance. The Tesla changed lanes close in front of it and then immediately braked as hard as possible, deliberately. The driver of the Tesla should lose their driving licence.

The drivers following the second car weren't leaving enough distance or paying enough attention.

Hi Johnny - considering there is no one answer here, no one, including you, is missing the point right? If weighting I'd generally put the largest on time-based rather than impact-based seniority, but it's just one of many factors and there isn't really a way to pick any one.
But the "new version" of the GTX 1060 is a lot more expensive. That's why it's the GTX 1060 that remained so popular and not the RTX 2060 or 3060. The 1060 came out almost 7 years ago. (And the 1650 is even lower performance!)

Now you hear that GPU sales are hitting lows they haven't been at for a while. The fear is that making a PC game would be targeting an old market, meanwhile consoles are affordable. But if fewer games are made for PCs then there's less reason for people to get gaming PCs too.

According to [1], 88% of the speedup given by OOO processors is due to speculation, and the reordering in the case of cache misses attributed around 10% of the speedup. If OOO in general gives around a 50% speedup compared to in-order designs, reordering in the face of cache misses gives only around a 5% speedup. If you use a good static schedule with speculation, you'll get the bulk of the speedup. The rest can be recovered by increasing the clock rate by 5%, since you'll have gotten rid of so much silicon.

Not a brake check, that kind of implies cutting in and then a hard enough dab on the brake to freak out the guy behind and force them to brake sharply but not enough to stop.

This was the Tesla braking as hard as possible to a complete stop. The following driver reacted quickly and had they not been paying attention the accident would have been much much worse.
>Is this not the case in California?

I don't think it is. I've never felt so unsafe in traffic as driving on highways in california. People keep an order of magnitude too little distance to the car in front. That density of cars would make any european highway slow down to a crawl but there they just practically touch eachother while driving 60kmph while doing crazy lane shifts left and right.
In my eyes a landing page is important and should be started early on. Landing pages will change over time anyway.

You can always have some kind of sign-up for a newsletter or a waiting list. It's important to track the landing page (e.g. mixpanel or something like this). You want to know how many people come to your page, what they look at and where they click.

Your call to action must be clearly stated. The idea is that if nobody visits your landing page, nobody will get to your MVP either. If people visit your landing page but never click the call to action, it doesn't matter if whatever is behind the CTA is working or not.

A good landing page can also be a gateway to talk to people, collect contact data, ...
I’m building a startup in a similar space (link in profile).

The issue here is that you have to maintain server by yourself and it adds a lot of friction to the process.

You can own all your data, host on your own domain with custom design, but still have the convenience to focus on writing and not maintaining stuff.

There are ton of innovation happening like bearblog or write.as and I find these type of projects super exiting.
It's my favorite, too!
The tesla crash in question happened on a freeway, in california where stopping on the freeway is illegal.

It was also an unsafe lane change which caused the pile up, not just the braking.

Honey is different compared to oranges and tea (presented as examples in that wiki article) because, presumably, the old Chinese populations were also having access to honey and producing it and, as such, they should have had a name for it. On the other hand Europeans didn't have direct access to stuff like oranges and tea until the transport links happen starting with the 16th century.

It takes humans up to 5 seconds to even start breaking in the presence of danger.

Even at 40 miles per hour your speed is 58 feet per second (or, at 60kmh you speed is 16 meters per second).

So it's either "the driver had sufficient warning" or "the lane change from Tesla was dangerous". As you don't expect cars that are dangerously changing to suddenly slow down.
> because that’s the only one that works between machines

There is a non-negligible number of problems that don't need multiple machines and are much easier to deal with using other concurrency paradigms. When the language forces only one model onto the developer, things are actually more complex than they need to be.
The bigger cost is storage. Very long term storage.

The first thing is to understand a problem deeply, where and why there is gap in solutions, and an idea how to solve that. Getting a landing page up helps you validate you hypothesis. You aren't trying to capture users at this point, rather gauge how right your hypothesis is. If it only takes a day as you say, why not do that first? It also gives you a place to quickly add a demo or link to MVP.

In the end, you want feedback on your hypothesis from potential users. A landing page is one way, and nice because it is self service. There are other ways to get feedback as well.

How do you know you are building the right MVP? How do you know you are solving a problem people care about?

I agree, I found I need it as well from time to time.

I'm thinking to add it as a global keyboard shortcut that would show the main UI + a typing bar where you can type a simple syntax for creating the event. As you type the date, the calendar will also switch to that date behind the typing bar so you can have an overview of other events before adding the new one.

I'm not sure about the syntax yet. Maybe:

any text here is name of event =day-month-year :hour:minute #calendar-name @invitee1 !map-location

...anything after =day would be optional so for the simplest case one could schedule a dentist appointment on the next 14th day at 10am

Dentist appointment =14 :10am

And each token should probably have autocomplete to avoid ambiguity.

> The difference comes when drawing inferences about the future development of Autopilot/FSD as these articles invariably do.

I guess I just didn't take that away from this article at all.

It seemed like a more general complaint about Level 2 automation using this instance of a crash with FSD/Autopilot as an example. The distinction seems, to me, relatively irrelevant to the main point of the article. A key paragraph for me was this one:

> While, yes, Tesla’s system was the particular one that appears to have failed here, and yes, the system is deceptively named in a way that encourages this idiotic behavior, this is not a problem unique to Tesla. It’s not a technical problem. You can’t program your way out of the problem with Level 2; in fact, the better the Level 2 system seems to be, the worse the problem gets. That problem is that human beings are simply no good at monitoring systems that do most of the work of a task and remaining ready to take over that task with minimal to no warning.

So, I guess I don't see the point in distinguishing between FSD/Autopilot when the thesis of the article isn't specific to Tesla, but rather applies to Level 2 systems across all cars.
Thanks for sharing this! Much lower dv budget if you can do gravity assists, but you have the obvious downside of a 30 year mission! High risk of failure.

It wouldn’t be distressing to someone with lots of spare cash in the UK because they would just get the surgery done privately. There seems to be a common misconception that private healthcare is not available in the UK.
Employers often treat their employees as adversaries. Thus the need for unions in those situations...

With the subscription model bit hits are still fundamental. They are "killer apps" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application) for selling the subscription. Think of "Stranger Things" or "Squid Game" for NETFLIX, "TOP GUN" for Paramount+ or "Star Wars" for Disney plus. Not in the business and I don't know how they reward this productions, but I think it would be fundamental for a platform to incentivize big hit productions and not just many low audience shows.
A large part of Europe was a single "country", namely the Roman Empire. What is currently China is arguably China + Tibet + Xinjiang + parts of Mongolia + parts of Korea + parts of whatever Heilongjiang/Jilin/Manchuria should be called. China (including China proper) has occasionally broken up into multiple polities.

One could also argue that the European Union kinda, sorta constitutes a single "country". One that would become an instant superpower if we who live there wanted it to be...

But, on the whole, Europe tends to be more fragmented than China.

I'd say the geography has a lot to do with it. China has a couple of big rivers that are well-suited for long-distance travel. Europe doesn't. Europe is also a peninsula of peninsulas, often with mountains (Pyrenees, Alps) going across where one peninsula is attached to the next.

Indeed. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html:

> If no index is specified, a.pop() removes and returns the last item in the list

The speed up then (again an educated guess) is because the pop code dives into compiled C faster. I expect the other code to do more type checks. headat += 1, for example, has to check that headat is something to which you can add 1, and find the function to do that. ThePython compiler isn’t very smart and likely does that at runtime, and each time through the loop. Even if it doesn’t, Python‘s integers are arbitrary length, mak8ng the actual +1 code slower than C’s.

(Also, for the education of the OP: if you want to benchmark, move all initialization out of the loop. There’s no need to include

mylist = list(range(numtoshuffle))

in the timing, for example (and no need to create a new list every time through the loop))

What McLuhan meant there was brand appeal. The guy with the Rolex is not wearing it, because a Rolex is such a great watch, although he might claim it is. He is wearing it, because of the symbolic value this watch has for him.

There are many products today where this symbolic value outweighs the practical value. E.g. I recall the whole Beats by Dr. Dre Headphone hype. As a musician and audio engineer I know what good headphones sound like and as I planned to get a good pair in that price bracket anyways, I decided to check on them. They sounded literally a magnitude cheaper than they were, yet many people swore this was the best thing since sliced bread. They paid for the brand appeal and for them the brand appeal was part of the use value.

Technically it does have cruise control, but I've never worked out what kind of road conditions it would be useful for and until I replace a 25-year-old dry-rotted vacuum hose under the bonnet it's not going to control a damn thing.

> Sounds interesting. Did you publish the source code?

Thanks, but no, I did not.

At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, I do not want to enable other people to “steal” from these companies.

These companies surely do not care if I use their apps for me, because I am just one person among several thousand potential customers. However, if I publish the code, many of these potential customers may stop purchasing their software licenses or subscriptions, and I do not want to be responsible for their loss in revenue.

Also, I spent a lot of hours reverse engineering these apps and their corresponding APIs. I would not get anything out of publishing the code: it will not get me a better job, it will not get me clean money, it will not get me good publicity, it will do no good to anyone other than the people who want to use these apps for free without doing any work.

> I have no idea how something like this would be built, especially in a way that it allows checking on telemetry; would be interesting to look at it.

For the sake of learning, I will give you some hints: I originally used nginx, then I wrote my own Go program, and nowadays I use envoy proxy, but pretty much any proxy server will do the trick. Then, I created and installed my own Certificate Authority to automatically trust any self-signed certificate. Maybe you can use mkcert for that. That is the easy part. The difficult part(s), and the meat of the solution, is to reverse engineer every app to understand what and how it does things. I have used several disassemblers over the years but the one I like the most is Hopper Disassembler (https://www.hopperapp.com/). You may find API keys, public SSL certificates, JSON field names, form field names, etc. and you simply need to put the pieces together to re-implement the API endpoint(s) that the app expects to use.

Sometimes it is very easy, sometimes it is very difficult. You will learn a lot for sure.

Based on box office numbers, where 2022 should've been the year of recovery, perhaps even surpassing pre-pandemic number as people surged back to the cinema... none of that happened. The numbers are down drastically, box office is 60% of the pre-pandemic times. This year doesn't look particularly promising either. One Avatar a recovery doesn't make.

The blockbuster movie and the multiplex cinema created a self strengthening cycle but it's over. I think we will see entire chains going under and with them, the blockbuster will die too.

It is indeed the time of the home theater. A family of four wants to go to the cinema, that's at least $100 if not $200 outright. Or they can watch Disney+. This is a no brainer.
