Why does that have to happen at the same time?

It should, obviously, but even today (with not so great energy mixes) electric cars do better than gas cars from an emissions point of view (even if looking at the whole life cycle).

Electric cars are energy mix agnostic and you try to frame that as a disadvantage but it actually is not, quite the opposite. They are one puzzle piece that enables change and without which change is not possible.

I don’t get arguments like yours.

Obviously we always have to do much, much more. We have to massively push individual cars out of densely populated areas and turn them into an option that is not fun at all to use there. We have to upgrade public transport. We have to better our energy mix. Buildings have to become more efficient on a massive scale. Energy intensive industrial processes have to transition to ways of doing things that can at least be plausibly made CO2 (equivalent) neutral like hydrogen. And and and. Doesn’t mean that all of this has to or even can happen at the same time.
If a joke is the most charitable reading of a comment then does it belong on HN? Serious question.
The problem with this strategy is that most execs don't think through the higher levels (which is what went wrong here).

They think: we will flood this space with money, drive out competition, and then jack up the price.

They don't think: if we spend all this money, we will have to get a return...the product is free today, is there enough juice here? What will consumers pay?

Charging money impacts the level of demand, spending money like this is literally putting a noose around your neck with investors.

I remember when I first saw this happen...I literally couldn't believe it, these execs knew the business, they were so smart, well-incentivized...it had to work. It never does, it is horrible to read about because people get canned (less so in this case, this spending was clearly an extension of a prominent exec's social life) but you just see it every time with these "land grab" strategies.

To be clear, the mistake wasn't the strategy, it wasn't being wrong, the mistake was choosing to flamboyantly set fire to billions of dollars for no reason.
Your eyes are telling you what color that shade of red is on the wall. But if you put it next to a different color, you’ll suddenly get a different answer from your eyes.

I think if our eyes can deceive us at a fundamental level, it’s arrogant to think we aren’t deceived by our thoughts.
People will watch certain shows or play certain video games simply because they have a voice actor that they like in.

There are certainly people who do this, but you're projecting. This is objectively a minority of the target market. I could canvas 100 children who have watched Amphibia or owlhouse and it's doubtful a single one of them could name a single voice actor in those shows.

This applies even more so to voice acting in video games, I'm an avid game player everything from GTA, to tomb raider, to portal, to baldurs gate. Gun to my head and I couldn't name a single person who voiced a single line.
They really do? My new credit card is no longer embossed - I assumed that this no longer existed anywhere.

How sympathetic is China going to be to that argument?
HTTP/3 is based on QUIC, and these perf properties are due to QUIC, not H3.

With that said, the unusual performance dynamics of the Web make connection setup latency particularly important by contrast to, for instance, SMTP, where people don't really get bent out of shape if a message takes another 200ms to be delivered.

> 4. Defense of Third Party Claims.

Notwithstanding any other language in your Agreement, GitHub will defend you against any claim by an unaffiliated third-party that your use of GitHub Copilot misappropriated a trade secret or directly infringes a patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right of a third party, up to the greater of $500,000.00 USD or the total amount paid to GitHub for the use of GitHub Copilot during the 12 months preceding the claim.
GitHub’s defense obligations do not apply if (i) the claim is based on Code that differs from a Suggestion provided by GitHub Copilot, (ii) you fail to follow reasonable software development review practices designed to prevent the intentional or inadvertent use of Code in a way that may violate the intellectual property or other rights of a third party, or (iii) you have not enabled all filtering features available in GitHub Copilot.

and as I understand it:

• i) means you can't modify copilot suggestions without losing this protection,
• ii) isn't actually defined; this might mean they can use it as a crutch to avoid providing protection,
• iii) means you aren't protected if you fail to enable settings that are not on by default but in theory allow you to avoid generations that reference "radioactive" licenses like gpl.
Kernels and hardware have been optimized for TCP. QUIC will catch up eventually.
They can at home (and third-party chargers), but not at Tesla superchargers. The internet access is needed not for charging, but for making a supercharger transaction.

Though I would have personally expected Tesla to set up supercharges in a way that would instead provide free charging when the supercharging internet access is down. The monetary loss from that would probably cost far less than this negative PR. And this is literally the first time I hear about their network going down in a way that supercharging is unavailable (maybe it happened before, but I haven't been paying much attention until 2019), so it isn't like they would be losing tons of money by providing that charging for free. And especially since filling up from around 20% to 90% at a supercharger typically costs me way less (somewhere between $16-26 total) than it would for a gas car.
At some point everything.. anything that alters the status quo can be considered 'a taking'.

The way you're framing it, is any form of taxation is a taking.

I have no particular issue with welfare, because fewer poor people benefit all of us, even if you do not happen to see the benefit of it - you still receive the benefits from fewer people living in poverty.

I have a favorite quote from LBJ -

"We dont ask much, the average American does not demand much, but we have a right to expect in this rich country, if we're willing to work from daylight to dark, we have a right to expect a job, to provide food for our family, a roof over their head, clothes for their bodies, an opportunity to have our children educated, and the right to worship god according to the dictates of our own conscience. Poverty not only strikes at the needs of the body it also taxes the spirit and undermines human dignity. It is not enough for the congress to pass laws, we will not will our war against poverty until the conscience of the entire nation is aroused. We will not succeed until every citizen regards the suffering of neighbors as a call to action, we will not overcome until every child in every city and every town joins its parents to help us mobilize its resources. Not in a day, and not in a year will these goals be reached, but if we begin the effort, if we approach the task with great enthusiasm and not with cynicism these achievements will be the glory, the glory of your generation. So I have come here today to ask for your heart and your hand to ask you to join us in a similar cause. Help us to build a better land, help us to built a greater society, help us open wide the doors of opportunity and we invite all to come in and when have done this it will one day be said of America that she was a burning and shining light in mans journey on earth."

The issue is, we've made the system too unfair - it's too hard to succeed, once you're below a certain point you dont have bootstraps to pull upon. The costs from poverty cost all of us something, and make for dangerous men. Voting to tax yourself to provide for them is a cheap form of insurance.
There is no effective pandemic response that respects individual rights, as we currently expect them.

Too many people, too interconnected of a world.

Better to go ahead and admit that if the shit hits the fan (SARS-CoV-2 being far from how bad a novel pathogen could get) then world organizations will need to be pretty totalitarian to effectively manage public health.

If this concerns us, we should meet reality and focus on criteria and processes by which those powers will be guaranteed to be rolled back when the situation allows.

The alternative to having such agreements in place is an procession of ineffectual response, fear, death, ceding power to authorities from fear, and then having no structures in place by which that power can be subsequently reclaimed.
> 'with enough data its easier to model than we expected'

> a self-similar process is ultimately responsible for granting us our own intelligence

In my view, intelligence essentially resides within language, specifically in the corpus of language. Both humans and AIs can be effectively colonized by language, as there are innumerable concepts and observations that are transmitted from one mind to another, and now even from mind to LLM. Initially, ideas were limited to human minds, then to small communities, followed by books, computers, and now LLM stands as the ultimate epitome of language replication, in fact one model could contain the whole culture.

To be sure, there is a practical intelligence that is learned through personal experiences, but it constitutes only a tiny fraction of our overall intelligence. Hence, both AI and humans have an equal claim to intelligence, because a significant part of our intelligence arises from language.

Here on the mainland EU I get the nasty impression that vehicles migrate. From West to East and from 1st world to 3rd world.

Richer countries effectively off-load to buy brand-new.

Ideally this probably shouldn’t be so and hopefully some electric cars will be actually built to last. That would be the green way to do it.
Thank you for catching my typo, I have edited my comment. The citation for the stat is 3:45-3:51 on https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=360761996193121 (“Facebook live with Jan Huitema, European Parliment”).
So, I listened to Wolfram explaining ChatGPT on his youtube channel[1] - a pretty great account for a live streamed impromptu Q&A, IMO - and was amused to hear he has been training an LLM exclusively on his own copious written output: essays, emails, books and so on. Such a Wolframesque move!

Not sure how many are aware of the sheer amount of streamed output he uploads to youtube[2]; quite a collection ranging from high quality science explainers on a variety of topics to eavesdropping on product management for his software empire.

Find people locally that want to go in. Filter the rest. Offer these people remote? Believe everyone will have a reasonable commute in and use the missing out emotional trigger to get people back. Then they can sit at their desk remote into meetings with others at different locations while talking as loudly as possible while everyone else puts their headphones on and browses slashdot?
Not the OP, but just trying to be helpful.

"Travelers" are paper packets that move through a manufacturing process with whatever material is being improved. Lots of machine shops have these printed out packets of specs, communications and notes that accompany a given order as it makes it's way through the process.

I'm pretty sure the "daisies" comment was related to how many shops escalate a given order by adding bright stickers or other obvious, visual indicators to the traveler, and shops can sometime become so overwhelmed that everything is escalated and all the bright travelers start looking like a field of flowers.
I agree with you on some level, and I don't condone everything in this video. I think I probably draw the line in a different spot than most people however.

Alex Honnold has honed his craft to a point where he can casually do things that would probably have a 99% mortality rate if tried by most climbers. These folk aren't that good, but there's a huge gulf between your average road bike enjoyer and someone who races to win alleycats. While this behavior on a bike CAN cause severe injury, including to bystanders, I think compared to checking directions on your phone etc. the amortized increase in mortality for those around you is likely much lower.

I think it's wrong to "glorify" this behavior, but I don't want to live in a world where we can't appreciate the beauty of it. Where we don't understand why some people chose to do it, and where we can't take a step back to reflect that perhaps chasing this visceral sense of aliveness is worth some the danger it may cause to other people, perhaps more so than checking your phone while driving, or even going maskless in public during flu season.
my knee-jerk reaction is: and because streets aren't just for cars!

But more pragmatically, vehicular cycling is often the best choice because of visibility and predictability, and also as regards driver awareness and expectation: it at least seems safer if drivers are accustomed to sharing the road than if they never have to.

When you ask a child to write a poem or essay, is it real or fake? I think if we accept that as real, it's hard not to accept ChatGPT as real. Sometimes its writing is not very good, sometimes its not even all that consistent, but from what I've seen the quality level is better than the average non-professional human writer.
that’s not true … maybe in your circles. but many people (that are also programmers) are outraged that artists’ work are being used as training data without consent

They create and offer games[1] that purport to be a way for users to win real money. This is gambling though the company uses very precise language to try to avoid being classified as a gambling company (since that would make their business super illegal in a bunch of jurisdictions). They are, from reports, extremely scummy[2] and, to be honest, their entire business is exploitative and targets people with addictions.

You're right that HTTP/3 requires Alt-Svc at the moment. QUIC itself doesn't require a pre-established connection (1-RTT), which is notable for non-HTTP/3 protocols and WebTransport.
If it's players competing against each other, then skill-based matchmaking would lead to most players having a roughly 50% win rate naturally. But the win rates are the only real reason the OP gives for this being a scam. So the submission could really do with some extra context.
Then again bats also eat many many many bugs that carry disease. All things considered I'd rather have the bats then the bugs.
It may come back in niche spaces. Semi-automated rigid sail wind power has been a nice idea for a while now. It doesn't suit short time-line supply chain dynamics but if your goods are capable of being delivered more slowly, it has lower TCO overall per weight carried, against a green economic outcome. If you don't care about CO, CO2 or fly-ash, its never going to win.

It's also the mentality that somehow someone receiving money from the government is "stealing", but leaves totally out of the equation people that have extorted a crazy amount of wealth on themselves by enduring dangerous and poor working conditions for their workers. When you see companies depending on government to provide welfares or NGOs food banks to their OWN worker because how low the salary is. But that is fine.

You sound like you're exhausted from dealing with people who are constantly doing end runs around your software. I can understand that.

On the other hand, if everyone in your org outside of IT execs despise SAP -- and make no mistake, they do, every last one of them -- then maybe it would be productive to wonder why that is rather than blaming your idiot users.
You can use QUIC without the HTTP/3 layer on top. It's a general purpose replacement for TCP+TLS.

Castle doctrine applies to protecting ones-self in the home. [1] But I agree some states will look the other way when it comes to poachers and trespassers. It's risky for everyone involved because very few states have codified what is deemed appropriate use of lethal force for trespassers outside the home, so it's like a box of chocolates. And even when legal there is always the likely chance of civil suits from the persons family.

I'd strongly discourage anyone from actually installing and using it as it's almost certainly illegal to do so (definitely will violate ToS and probably will be actionably illegal but IANAL). Additionally, it very well could contain malware.

To be honest though, shining a light on this terrible company seems to be the main drive of the website and it's a very deserving cause.
I wouldn't quite paint everyone in Project Mayhem as immature edgelords (not even the narrator)—I think there's some genuine hole in their lives and need for belonging that's missing, and that society/capitalism/the-standard-life-plan/media-defined-masculinity/whatever isn't providing.

Thing is, Tyler's message and the way he actually "helps" these people are very much at-odds, and a lot of his message is, in fact, immature edgelord shit, sprinkled with trite and well-worn but not exactly wrong nuggets of kinda-wisdom.

I actually think Tyler's being a bit appealing, at first, is an important part of the movie. If the audience isn't convinced someone could fall for his schtick, the story doesn't work very well.

In fact, I think the film's maybe more relevant than ever. There are whole movements and personalities that look an awful lot like Tyler's mix of true-and-false and smart-and-stupid "wisdom", and in a lot of cases they are (nominally) addressing actual problems or something that's missing for a lot of people.
> Can’t the car download a certificate from the central server when it is still up which is signed with the private key of tesla and it contains what level of service the vehicle is subscribed to and an expiry date?

There is no "service" for charging, it is just like with ICE cars at a gas station. You fill up your car, and then you get charged for however much you filled up.
wage labor is also theft. before you claim "but the worker agreed to it", also recognize that by being a citizen of a country, you agree to pay their taxes. if your response to people telling you that wage labor is theft is "then don't work" then you should also agree that if you don't like taxes, move elsewhere. you'll then realize that it (as well as the option to not work) are not viable options and that both wage labor and taxation are coercion. taxation with representation but also employee representation.
