I think a large majority of these EV analyses suffer from short-term biases as well. It will be interesting to see if the cost of maintenance remains super low when these vehicles need battery replacements.

Spammers and scammers.

People are constantly trying to use any service for illicit purposes. A somewhat-easy way to deal with that is to just ban them. Because an email address is used as username and an email address usually maps 1:1 to a person, this means you just got rid of a Bad Person.

This breaks if access to new email addresses is trivial. You now have to invest actual effort into validating that a new account isn't someone trying to do bad stuff.

Or you can just block all the services providing easy access to email addresses and outsource the issue to big providers like GMail and Apple. It's a lot less effort, and you'll lose near-zero legitimate customers...
> I generally feel little sympathy for Mozilla.

I see this take a lot in Mozilla-ish threads, and at this point it just reads to me a lot like backseat driving. I think real critiques of Mozilla take the form of companies like Vivaldi, Opera, The Browser Company, Brave, Mighty, Synth, Sidekick, etc. I'm not doing a "put up or shut up" thing; I always think people have the right to critique and discuss. I'm just saying there's a difference between substantive and non-substantive critiques, and most of the anti-Mozilla stuff I see now seems like the former.

> Gecko was a mess and they had something actually exciting on their hand which was mostly untainted by their branding.

Honestly I'm not that excited by Servo. It's geek-cool that they're able to leverage Rust and build a browser engine that maybe doesn't have memory error vulns and can better take advantage of multiple CPU cores, but I'm yawning just typing that out. By the time they're done we'll have the metaverse.
It would be a bit too long/detailed/personal answering that, but IMO a healthy definition of "happy" involves using the money you earn to make your life easier most of the time, during different phases and under most situations. For example, living in a house that is physically loosing pieces, that should be fixed to avoid problems, it will not generate happiness through consumption, but it will relieve you from stress of possible bad consequences. Not doing that when you do have the money indeed, it's not healthy.
I feel a combination with a wood burning stove is best. Especially with the potential for power cuts.
3AC, CoinFLEX co-founders looking to raise $25M for new crypto exchange
Main reason to use a standalone mp3 device is: doing excersie (sports, running, etc.). I cannot play, let's say basketball with my phone hanging around. Nor running, nor almost anything that implies excersising.
> A carbon price is a cost applied to industries that emit carbon pollution. British Columbia has a carbon price of C$35 a ton, and all of Canada will have a $10 price in September that will rise to C$50 in 2022.

Interesting, this is a seemingly proven? way of levelling the temporal playing field.

If the future costs of processing and burning oil could be accurately calculated. It could be the case that synthetic fuel is already cost competitive. A tax could attempt to represent that discrepancy.

Like a sugar tax or a tobacco tax, for which there are real personal, societal, and ultimately economic costs beyond the sticker price - these costs are accumulated and deferred, so it's hard to intuitively judge for the individual. Taxes against these poor choices help make the cost more intuitive, hypothetically they could even be proportional and immediate if those funds were used to treat those issues though e.g health care spending.
The FTC plans to curtail the use of non-compete clauses
The federal government doesn't seem to be so limited. They conjured up the authority for the Civil Rights Act out of thin air, limiting intrastate commerce in this way with no clear constitutional authority to do so. Hell Wickard v Filburn says the feds can tell you whether you can grow your own feed and feed it to your animals as that is "interstate commerce."

Therefore picking who can enter is interstate commerce, no?

> Six millions years of power for a single brain is one year of power for six million brains. The knowledge that ChatGPT contains is far higher than the knowledge a random sample of six million people have produced in a year.

On the other hand, I don't think if it would be larger than that of six million people selected more carefully (though I suppose you'd have to include the costs of selection process in the tally). I also imagine it wouldn't be larger than six thousand people specifically raised and taught in coordinated fashion to fulfill this role.

On the other other hand, a human brain does a lot more than learning language, ideas and conversion between one and the other. It also, simultaneously, learns a lot of video and audio processing, not to mention smell, proprioception, touch (including pain and temperature), and... a bunch of other stuff (I was actually surprised by the size of the "human" part of the Wikipedia infobox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sensation_and_percept...). So it's probably hard to compare to specialized NN models until we learn to better classify and isolate how biological brains learn and encode all the various things they do.
2-Dimensional Time
Would Godot be a decent engine for kids around 12-14 years old? I don't know a lot about it, but would like to suggest something for a person I know.

I'd also be curious what the Godot support is like in terms of maintaining older releases. I think it would be a mistake to tell a young person to use a beta version since they could hit a lot of bugs and get discouraged, but having them use an existing version that doesn't get a lot of new support might also be discouraging.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what they'd suggest for building a simple side scroller?

I would advise you to find a partner who is also a data engineer/scientist and team up, it would be much easier also to share the workload, ideally even someone with network will bring in some new clients.
Though I do think EVs to be better in terms of maintenance. I've had family members drive multiple ICE cars (Corolla and Civic respectively) over 200,000 miles. I honestly doubt modern ICE is that expensive to maintain.
There likely is greenwashing. The percentage of their fleet consisting of EVs is likely small. Most modern ICE vehicles only need service every 10K miles on their ICE components. This may amount to $1000 for the time rental companies are operating a particular vehicle, a fraction of the overall revenue.

Alternatively, how are rental companies charging returned EVs? The time spent sitting at a charger should be considered as lost revenue when an EV comes back empty.
It depends on what you mean by "cold weather", but modern air source heat pumps are getting increasingly efficient in surprisingly cold temperatures. This Samsung model I randomly found from a Consumer Reports link (https://ashp.neep.org/#!/product/65014/7/25000///0) claims to still heat almost as effectively well below freezing as it does at more mild winter temperatures.

Even for less effective heat pumps, gas backup isn't really a requirement since you can often use electric "heat strip" backup like my home does. Heat strips are not particularly energy efficient, but many places that can get cold during the winter aren't continuously cold, so a less efficient electric backup is just fine.
Recruiters typically charge approximately 10% in the markets I am familiar with.

They also act as a free sales force and have supplier agreements with end clients. These are very hard to secure directly for one man bands.

I would argue that it's not really consulting or running your own business if you are working through a recruiter. It's more akin to short term employment. That may be fine for your aims however.
To be clear, I meant "RIP Twitter" for me personally. I wouldn't bet on Twitter failing. I think he'll make it work one way another.

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem part 2 – Module Resolution
And they almost certainly generate a lot of expenses for the city. They are probably a major consumer of city services and infrastructure.

How much trickle-down effect there is...is irrelevant. I generate revenue from all the things I spend my salary on. I still have to pay taxes.

This is corporate welfare, pure and simple.
I'd be interested in seeing how this applies to consumers/owners. From what I've seen, the items that tend to cost more in maintenance for EVs are things like the battery; ones that last a long-ish time but are extremely expensive to fix/replace when they go. Given that rental companies (and people that lease) likely won't have the cars long enough to reach that point, the overall maintenance cost is lower for them. Does this hold true when you start to consider people that own/use the cars for 10+ years?
> it was possible to believe that I had been placed on earth for the sole purpose of providing her with that last ride.

I suspect that a lot of people have a "heroism gene". In situations in which they're doing something selfless, and nothing matters other than helping the person before them who really needs it, there's an implicit "this is my purpose" or "this is what we do".

I've wondered where that comes from, nature or nurture. And how common it is.

And also how that changes once they have family dependent on them, when helping someone else would threaten that.
I'm also thinking about depreciation. I suspect most people that want an electric car are going to buy new, especially considering the tax credits. Are they going to be able to successfully offload 3-year old, high-mileage rental electric cars?
Half way through the article the author is touting how these can work in cold climates like Norway, then their example homeowner immediately states they have this but also they still have a furnace for when it actually is cold. Why do journalists try to pull crap like this? Contradictory information in the same paragraph!?

If you have to have a backup it is _not_ a replacement and it will not get us off of carbon. Most people cannot afford a heat pump system much less a heat pump _and_ a furnace. Heat pumps seem great for moderate climates but it is not gonna happen up north where things actually get cold and stay cold for long periods of time.

Anyone who actually has experienced this type of cold would run in the opposite direction of a heating technology that produces less warmth the colder it gets outside. Literally the opposite of what is needed for existence.
I hang on to my old iPod shuffles and nanos with clips on them, and have paid to get them refurbed. It's just so easy to clip them onto my shirt and go. The alternative is... what, to put my gigantic phablet phone in the small pocket of my running shorts?

I shouldn't complain too much, since there actually are a fair number of modern small dedicated mp3 players that can clip on to your shirt (although none of them that I know of are quite as unobtrusive and lightweight as a 2nd gen iPod shuffle).
Versioning is done through the package maintainers. If there is no versioning for the package it's not Apple's fault (you could argue it's brews fault for not requiring it).

If you think Brew should require versioning then open a request.

If you don't think there is enough free windows managers perhaps you should create one yourself or contribute to a non paid project to ensure your wants are addressed.

It appears your problems are with 3rd parties and not Apple.
Completely anecdotal, but about 8 years ago we had a pretty well scoped out web dev project. We didn't want to go with FTEs because the roadmap for that feature wasn't obvious after initial release (something bespoke for a large customer).

Someone at the company referred his "friends and college acquaintances" who ran a small consulting firm in Mexico. The project lasted around 6 months, they delivered a little ahead of schedule and were quite nice to work with. A team of 5 devs.

Looking at their LinkedIn profiles, two of them are now in the Bay Area for sure, one I'm not completely sure because I think his wife and him lived in California for a while since she did a postdoc there but I don't know if they stayed. One is in Seattle and the last is in NYC.

Every time someone tells me they found "cheap, local talent" in LATAM for "much less than American developers" I always wonder how long it will be until that talent becomes itself... an American developer! Especially since, unlike a decade ago, people are now incorporating in LATAM and hiring FTEs, not contractors. This makes them eligible to get an L-1 visa to transfer to the parent company in the United-States after ~1 year at the company.

Historically, they might have, but we decided barbers shouldn't be healthcare providers and now we have a shortage of healthcare providers.
How long do rental places keep cars?
The argument would be either (1) that automated facial recognition goes above and beyond the reasonable requirements of the facility, representing an unnecessary intrusion into a person’s private life, (2) that the same does unacceptable harm in the public sphere, or (3) that its particular application is capricious and clearly represents an attempt to stifle the right to seek legal recourse. Any of these would be sufficient, and may or may not be convincing to a judge.

That sucks. I can say with confidence that this is not the case on openSUSE with KDE. I have fcitx5, fcitx5-chinese-addons and a few other relevant packages installed and it works fine.

Maybe check out PhaserJS. By using a web engine, it can be easier for them to share their games. It’s also a more forgiving language and environment.

PyGame is also a good starting place.

If these two seem too elementary for their needs, consider Unity and Godot.

Here are 2,300 CVEs in linux. https://www.linuxkernelcves.com/cves. You can wander through and look for terms like use-after-free and buffer overflow.

I'm not comparing it to other operating systems. I'm not suggesting that people stop using linux. I'm suggesting that as an industry we need to take this seriously and improve the safety of the most widely used and critical piece of software on the planet.
Cutlass is from NVidia and AFAIK gets pretty close to cuBLAS performance. I think the use case for cutlass is when you only need a few kernels and don’t want to pull in a huge cuBLAS dependency and are ok paying a small perf penalty for that. Then there are times when you need custom kernels that not available in cuBLAS and for that cutlass is about as fast as it gets.
That said, a lot of EV have transmission and more fluids due to the need to improve temperature control.

Most EV's don't even have a transmission. And any battery cooling fluids are often sealed up inside the battery pack.

Some EVs have air cooled battery packs, Nissan Leaf for example.

If anything, you must be thinking about hybrids.
My main expectation from things like ORM is to be able to think of a query with SQL logic. so the end result will be SQL and I should be able to picture it in my mind. but this is where things get messy. It seems difficult to achieve this with ORMs. yes, they make a lot of things easier and they have conveniences, but to understand it, you need to grasp the logic they offer.
Godot is still experimenting with Physics engines, rolling back to more primitive homebrew solution. The original statement was straightforward.

Ofc, that's just 1 aspect of the engine. There are numerous bugs in the IDE for 2d, which I have encountered. Also, the asynchronous event system quickly becomes cumbersome as a project grows. Ordering becomes important, for which there is no amount of control in Godot (dealing with mouse events, for example). This leaves every developer to implement a stateful dashboard, of sorts, to ensure events are handled in the correct order. This then leads to nondeterministic delays, etc.

> I'm unclear about the rationale for banning facial recognition here

I don't think facial recognition needs to be banned. The two things that need to be banned are denying people access to events after you already took their money for admission to them, and denying people access to events for what their co-workers did.

Not free, but these books from "hook theory" are great and their tools are also amazing. Complementary to the tools at muted.io that the OP references...

https://www.hooktheory.com/books
Wow! That’s obscene considering they have chargers at the lot to recharge the vehicles and the power costs them almost nothing.

The perk should be able to return it on empty, as they can plug them right in at arrival. If Hertz wants to be able to turn the vehicles faster, they can install fast DC chargers at their facilities.

I've often wondered if opening windows while AC is running and outside temp is below inside temp is less efficient than keeping them closed.

My thought is I should keep them closed due to extra load on the AC to dehumidify the outside air. Or open windows and turn AC to fan-only mode to prevent stagnant air in rooms without windows.
yep it seems like the most CPU/energy is PyCharm/iTerm/Docker. This is the same set of tools and workflow I was using pre-ventura and I can very much notice the hit.

I remember people saying the same of the Mantle/Vulkan API when compared to DirectX. Now it powers gaming on Linux and the Steam Deck, and now even Intel uses DXVK in their new Arc drivers.

ROCm is a framework, and its existence likely has a bigger impact on the quality of CUDA and the good behavior of Jensen than we realize.
It is technically possible. I had the same thought as you and looked into it some time ago. The only references I ever found to it actually being implemented were in cases of giant walk-in (even warehouse sized) refrigerators/freezers in places where district cooling exists.

For something the size of a home fridge the costs would be immense compared to the energy savings. You're far far better off spending that money on more efficient heat pumps and more/better insulation.

The federal limit for the amount of power a fridge can pull is 527 kWh/year, which at my rates (admittedly on the low end these days) is ~$70/year. There are very commonly available fridges that are < 300 kWh/year, which would be ~< $40/year. So before even taking into account the efficiencies you implicitly make back when you're heating your house anyway, that's your per-attached-appliance limit for input cost on building out, maintaining and running that system.

Though, I admit that the idea of a completely silent fridge & A/C is alluring. Here's to hoping we make some breakthroughs on sold-state heat pumps.
Yeah good point.

I always imagined it as similar to transmission replacement - ie. If they can make the battery pack last as long as a median transmission, then it’ll be after the overall vehicles useful life before it comes time to replace.

We will see. We just swapped the battery on ours, price if it hadn’t been done on warranty was $50K, on a car we paid $35K for.. but then again, cost to us was zero.
> ICE vehicles are toast

Let's wait, my dad traded his 20 years old car for a new model a few years ago, he paid 8k euros for a brand new ICE car, he does under 10k km per year now. The cheapest EV I can find is 22k euros here, and it's a piece of shit that barely does highway speed, which he could not afford anyways.

Companies will make public charger more and more expensive until it reaches the price of filling a gas car, it's just matter of time, mechanics will do the same. In the meantime it's all tricks and snares, enjoy it while it lasts

Oh don't get me wrong, I love this machine, I'm just upset by the degraded battery performance. Everything else is awesome.
I love YouTube, but the shorts feature is pushing really harmful content at their users. Even though I exclusively subscribe to food and skiing channels, every fourth video on shorts is really vile stuff from Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate. Giving it the "thumbs down" appears to do nothing about this.

It reminds me of 2015 when the FB algo was being hijacked by all sorts of shadowy political interests to push weird agendas.
It is. The main culprit, arguably, is the ubiquitous use of kilowatt hours as unit of energy, particularly of electricity in context of the power company billing you for it - kilowatt hours are what you see on the power meter and on your power bill.
>Google is certainly more than capable of saving the state of a “close this” flag..
