Supposedly they've replaced the cabin heater with a heat pump that doesn't kill the drive train if it fails.

But you're right - it's terrible engineering to have the entire car shut down just because the in car heat fails.

"Guardrails and safety measures" are useless. All it does is set up a multiplayer prisoner's dilemma situation among all the groups working on these things. If there's anything we know from game theory, it's that someone will defect in that situation. That group would then gain a pretty massive advantage over the cooperators.

I wish this was a joke, but they did increase the cost of prime to pay for that trash, rather than focusing on what people really use Prime for.

Ask HN: Do you think EU can catch up with US and China?
EU is lagging more and more behind US and China in terms of high-tech. Do you think they can catch up those two countries? If yes - what do you think have to be done to achieve that?
Interesting take. As a non customer I now won't consider them for any projects as they've confirmed their unreliability.
Corrosion seems over-engineered. Instead of doing a simpler federation of multiple databases (one per datacenter) across the globe, they decided to do gossip amongst every single VM across the globe! You don't really gain much but you do get all the noisy complexity for sure.
eSIM is good when the carrier does a good job of it, but it's terrible when the carrier does a bad job. There are carriers where any change to eSIM must be called in and you have to talk to a rep, where it takes hours to issue, etc.

Basically we're going back to the USA-style CDMA days where the carrier is in full control of your experience, which worries me.

I agree they're great for the use case of just buying a travel eSIM and activating that.
I know a lot of people like Elon in real life. Not nearly as successful. But the traits are similar:

- Disorganized

- Takes a lot of risks

- Flexible in decisions

- Makes decisions on a whim without thinking through consequences

- Makes bold plans without knowing exactly how to do it

- Analytical

- Loves science, history, tech, memes

The same traits that allow him to be so successful are also traits that make him chaotic.

If anyone subscribes to Myers Briggs, then Elon is a classic INTP. Some of my good friends are also INTP. I enjoy working with them a lot. But if they ever do the leading, expect chaos but you'll be working on something cool.

>Knowing which boat was where allows them to determine who might be meeting the smugglers.

A signal lamp/ aldis lamp/ Morse lamp during World War I, German signalers used optical Morse transmitters called Blinkgerät, with a range of up to 8 km (5 miles) at night, using red filters for undetected communications.

They continue to be used to the present day on naval vessels and for aviation light signals in air traffic control towers.

This then brings the states mainland communication monitoring into play, because even though some part, some nod of the communication takes place in secret like two people having a conversation passing in the street, subsequent communication channels can be observed over time, which can then expose the use of signal lamps as the form of communication.

I think most people dont realise how easy it is to extract information from people without them knowing.
This has nothing to do with Elon, but rather that’s just how business works.
The number of people that criticize without understanding how business works is almost comical.
On the otherhand, California and the Valley are pretty comical to the rest of the country..

>>If this is your sort of goalpost, then even relatively homogenous countries like Germany and Italy shouldn't really exist today, given that they only coalesced in the late 19th century.

Yup. The Holy Roman empire, Roman Empire, Byzantines, Greeks, Hellenistic period etc etc.

Over a period of long intervals the geographical boundaries of any and every region on earth expand and shrink. That's just fact of life. And boundaries are basically things written on a piece of paper, where one administration decides to start or end its control. Also what does things like 'new countries' even mean here. It is not like when people make new countries they take they dig up their region from beneath and relocate to Mars. They are just saying they don't wish to live under your political administration.

There is no need to overthink these things beyond a certain point.

I’m not suggesting OP is dumb, but if someone is setting hiring criteria and thinks they need X skillset judged by Y, I think there’s a good chance they’re directionally correct.

I get it, I’ve bombed interviews I was excited about and rationalized it anywhere and everywhere. Once I started hiring folks, my opinions evolved significantly.

How else do you hire someone out of a pool of people that are all knowledgeable and likable? A bad hire, even if they’re super smart and just the wrong fit, is worse than not hiring anyone at all.

If you climb the management ladder, you’ll likely be graded on your org’s hiring outcomes. If 10 people all seemed qualified, I’m going to burn down the risk as much as possible. If I’m wrong 1 time for this, but it not obviously wrong 9 others, I’ll call it a win.

This, SSD failure modes are scary! Even enterprise SSDs will just go from "all ok" to "no device connected" at any random time.

So far, most of the HDDs I've seen fail, gave _some_ indication prior to it, via smart or "strange" behaviour.
This is happening elsewhere too - all kinds of traditional forums for hardware, be it cars laptops or watches have now almost entirely moved to Facebook groups, only the biggest communities still hang around and even then just barely, with a shadow of their former selves. And Facebook is even worse than discord, with absolutely abysmal search and very few tools to engage with your community effectively. But it's easy to join so a lot of people prefer it.
It's depressing to see how society accepts such low standards.
Have LLM reaearchers looked into self-play and so on? Since the success of alpha zero, it must be pretty tempting. I have no idea about this stuff, but a language model that speaks as a partner to itself might be interesting.

Of course something needs to be there to keep it to the "rules" i.e maybe not inventing languages we can't understand.
Even so, it's probably not going to be super-effective, unless each workplace is willing to have enough useful small things that do not require knowing substantial chunks of the existing code base.

It is probably realistic to expect someone to write something useful (although possibly small) in three days. It is less realistic to expect someone to write a useful component integrated in a large system that they have to learn, in three days.
Or…the code base is a house of cards built by a poorly managed company. Then when changes are made the legacy code falls apart. This is the more likely scenario.

Huh? Twitter has had almost monthly rounds of layoffs, including one a few weeks ago that took out some fairly high profile employees. They also have arbitrary firings and people being let go without being told [1].

I'm certainly not going to argue that Meta is going about this in a good way at all, but it is hard to think of a worse example of doing it "well" than Twitter under Elon.

Except that if a dishwasher was significantly faster, people would love it. 20 minutes would be enough to make people go "wow, that's really nice", and that would become the new "cool" dishwasher.
It doesn't potentially open anything new. According to the court's decision, boat captains must already report that information:

> charter-boat owners are already required to report all of the information that the Government says the GPS-tracking requirement is designed to collect. That is, before going on a trip, charter-boat owners must tell the Government the type of trip (fishing or otherwise), and if it is a fishing trip, they must also tell the Government where they are going, how long they expect the trip will take, and when and where they expect to return. 50 C.F.R. § 622.26(b)(6).

Also, the decision concerns charter boat fishing, not commercial fishing.

Where? At 50k miles our last car had less than $2k in maintenance done and still was covered under warranty. We replaced one set of tires in that cost as well. I would say had we kept it to 90k miles we would still be less than or at 2k total.
NM has a population of around 2.1M and Florida around 22.2M. That puts NM at about 41 vehicular fatalities and Florida at about 443. That’s what I mean by odd numerical stuff.

Yes the DUI thing is another known problem here. Good to point it out. Don’t know that anything could be done about it. People just don’t seem to value life enough.

It was really inconvenient to switch to an MVNO or another carrier. You almost always had to order a SIM and wait a week for it to be shipped. Right now, I can activate an eSIM and be using the plan within like 10 minutes. I also am able to continue using my current plan.

In my current setup, I have a plan with primary carrier for my primary number, then a backup data only eSIM with non-expiring data for if I'm SIM swapped or overuse my data plan on my primary plan. I've actually tried and used different MVNOs.
Oh that's good, I went into one of their branches and they told me it wasn't possible and I'd have to buy a phone from them. Probably just pushy salespeople trying to meet quota.

> eSIMs are a massive win when travelling, too. Instantly activate a data plan at cheap local rates in whatever country your travelling to, without having to first get your hands on a physical SIM...

For many years I've owned dual-SIM phones and on many occasions have bought a local SIM a the airport or corner store when travelling for a week or more to countires outside my roaming allowance. This is almost always cheap, usually also easy, but can sometimes be a hassle if it takes a bit of time to track down the SIM.

When I bought my current phone with one physical and one eSIM, I was expecting it to be a huge improvement. The reality so far has been rather different... Twice now I have had to waste a lot of time online shopping around to find an eSIM for the destination country. Most of the international providers are surprisingly expensive (often 10x the cost of a locally bought SIM), have awful websites that look like they were thrown together in a weekend, and they often require you to install their own app to manage the eSIM/account, which is also invariably awful. You're also less likely to have much choice of which network you end up on, which can be a significant issue in less developed countries.

Now that I only have one physical SIM slot and always need it for my home country SIM (my mobile provider doesn't yet even support eSIMs) I regret chosing eSIM over a dual SIM phone. I do expect the situation to improve, but for now at least it still feels like a big step backwards for travel compared to dual SIM.
The chess example may though count as "shallow" thinking, in that your quick games are pattern matching out of experience without much time for deep or self-reflective novel analysis.
I sort of think this might be the first step someone uses to make something cool.

For example the croissants and cupcakes example, the C in croissants sucks - so I wouldn't do that. The C in cupcakes is ok, but so maybe keep that but make the top cherry on the C cherry red. And relatively quickly you have a better result than just Croissants and Cupcakes although sure - sort of trite still.

This ̶m̶u̶s̶h̶r̶o̶o̶m̶ ̶ fungi is easy enough to grow and cultivate yourself[2][3] - IF - you have time for such shenanigans. I did this last year through summer and autumn in my garage. I'm making no claims about effects or health benefits, but it is tasty and I managed to grow it on a number of substrates (including waste such as brown cardboard and coffee grounds).

If you're in the UK (as I am)and you see it wild, don't pick it though as Lions Mane / Bearded Tooth is a protected species[1].

Gourmet mushrooms are starting to filter into food chains in various locations through local independents who are very passionate and skilled about their cultivation practice[4].

Mycology is a fascinating hobby and plays very nice with woodworking as the waste from one activity feeds into the next on a small scale.

You can sit on the sofa, surf normal websites on your TV using the setup, etc. Connect various external HDs for any downloadable content, run programs to do said downloading, use VLC, etc.

> Dishes better be done before dinner or else somebody is going to have bad time.

Of course but since there are several hours between meals, even if you have to run your dishwasher after each meal the time it takes to run is not critical as long as it's done within that timeframe.

Basically, in general it does not matter whether it takes 1 hour or 2 hours.
But it will come at least somewhat at the expense of their core business, surely? An Airbnb with ads looks a lot less trustworthy than one without, I think.
There was a brief moment in 1999 when this tiny startup came on the scene and introduced a search engine that was so much better that all the rest of them functionally died off. Before SEO bots destroyed a lot of that particular search engine's results, it made the Internet feel much more organized, and just typing in what you wanted made it quite easy to navigate! It's now a quarter century later and Google Search has plenty of critics, but for one brief moment in history, the act of finding things on the Internet took a giant leap forwards.
I'm not talking about preconfigured port mapping. I'm taking about bindings as in entries in NAT. That happens on every outbound connection and has stateful processing. We're still finding issues with it, like the relatively recent NAT Slipstream vulnerability.

Sounds like an issue with your carrier rather than the eSIM standard. I recently went to Europe and was able to buy a cheap data eSIM (1GB for £2) and activate it in the airport basically instantly.

With SIMs I would have had to order it through the post like a week in advance, and there's no way I would have gotten that price.

I normally don't like the Washington Post.

But this much is true:

The problem today isn’t that Americans are insufficiently concerned about the rise of China. The problem is that they are prey to hysteria and alarmism that could lead the United States into a needless nuclear war. Witness the unhinged reaction when a Chinese surveillance balloon drifted across the continental United States.

When I provide another perspective to China, I'm routinely accused being paid by the CCP. Actually, I believe the US and China should work together more. It's better for both populations and the earth. We could use less extremism.

I've been with fly.io at small scale and I have always loved their approach to content (docs, blogs, forums), and needless to say, their product. They are very talented and are building something truly great. Their openness, shown in this post, is an example to follow. It's very hard to be that honest and direct when you're meant to be an infallible entity, but it's not a surprise at all to see fly authoring such a post. That's how they operate and that's why I trust them over anyone else.
If they had talent, they would still have a job or easily move into a role they prefer. Doing a job vs talent are completely different animals.

I saw a model house which had two dishwashers. One for extracting clean dishes, one for inserting dirty ones. Switch forth and back.
Obviously you wouldn't want dishwashers with alarms for that.

As for microwaves.. the good old ones had a simple spring-driven timer, turn the wheel and when it hit zero it hit a bell, physically.. a single "pling". Perfect.

But the new one I bought as a replacement would beep five times, and keep beeping even if I opened the door. Crazy and totally useless. I want to have a.. word.. with industrial designers sometimes.

The microwave I have now also annoyingly beep five times, but at least it stops when I open the door.

There's also now the option to just keep your primary phone number on a cheap plan, and have multiple other eSIMs for data usage. There's no longer the problem with having to contact a carrier to switch data plans if used in this way.

Though, hopefully in time they will improve the experience anyway.
