Our house has 100A service and we use a 30A car charger and have never popped our main breaker. On a hot day when the AC is likely to run, I'll hit the button on my car charger to delay charging to the middle of the night when we won't be running the electric dryer or stove.
Sort of a tangent but I used Ghidra last week to help a coworker figure out where some function was called by looking at the callee tree to it. He was investigating a crash reported by a user that seemed impossible to hit as the function was never called. After about 10m we figured out that the code had been recently refactored and the build I had locally was enough out of date to still have the buggy function call.
I agree, it's a "linear extrapolation of business as usual" assessment, the kind that Tony Seba calls out in his talks on disruption.

The future of EVs isn't even "battery electric car" so much as it is "new models of transportation". Tesla's business model was in the classic mode of consumer tech where it targets enthusiasts at a premium. The broader auto market, though, is getting nibbled away by a combo of new communication and transport services for each vertical - you can buy or rent an e-bike, hail a Waymo, have Wal-Mart deliver by drone, as well as "just" do more from home, online, and save a trip. Some of these things are early in their deployment but largely proven, others are already widespread but with room to go further.

In a disrupted market, you can't pick winners easily, but you should always bet on the new asset classes, because the alternative is a ghoulish non-future.

> Classical Greece springs to mind. Possibly high Roman culture also.

Athenian culture encouraged sexual relationships between grown men and teenage boys - but mostly looked down on relationships between grown men. And, in Athens, same-sex relations involving women were less acceptable than those involving men. (Sparta was quite different in that regard.) For most ancient Greeks-and most ancient Romans too-sex was moral when it reflected societal power relationships (man-woman, man-boy, man-slave), immoral when it inverted them or ignored them. Consent was largely ignored. Many Roman men were repulsed by female homosexuality since they saw it as a woman attempting to usurp the dominant male role. (There are possibly some exceptions, such as Catullus, but those exceptions don’t make the generalisation untrue.)

Ancient Greek and Roman culture was a long way off contemporary mainstream contemporary sexual mores. It was very different from traditional Christian sexual morality, but different in a completely different direction from contemporary Western society.

Anecdotes and Antidotes: A Medieval Arabic History of Physicians by Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah.

I started reading it last year and got distracted and didn't finish it, but it's very interesting. It's basically a chronicle of all the physicians this guy knew of. There's some genuinely interesting history in there, like how much they respected Galen and still referenced those works. And then there's some esoteric stuff like diagnosing a sick sultan by looking at a vial of his urine, or copious warnings of not to have sex with older women as they'll steal your life-force. Also oddly specific accounts of how much these physicians were paid and what in.

Hopefully the sort of thing you're looking for. I just found it in a book store one day.

Ok gotcha, so then the point is valid, and it is totally fine to be more worried about, and ban the actions of a hostile foreign government.

Glad you agree completely with the central point, and we cleared that up that you are in 100% agreement with the original statement.
I'm still unconvinced that tiktok holds much data that is valuable to any government. As a node in the information tree it might have some marginal utility but my understanding of tiktok is that the data primarily is how much you enjoy cat videos. Maybe the chinese government can work out your sexual orientation, or that you are anti communist, but this is only a problem if you live in China.

Even if the data is valuable, as far as I know there are no backdoors available to tiktok that aren't available to other apps (e.g any tencent game). The security model at the os level seems to be the proper place to ensure privacy, and the witch hunt against tik tok seems to only exist because it is popular.
Went in expecting to see at least a 1000 employees laid off.. but 50? Can that even be called a 'Division'? Is that Division on par with other divisions Disney runs, like Disney Studios (Marvel Studios, Disney, Pixar...), Streaming (Disney+, ESPN+) or the Theme Park division?
The other point these people are missing is that this allows for flexibility in choosing our fuel. Anything that can be converted into electricity (gasoline, coal, nuclear) can power an EV. It’s not limited to green power sources.

I live in Miami and speaking anecdotally, the article is right about the facts and wrong about the conclusion.

It’s true that crypto money has dried up, the FTX arena has been re-renamed, that the crypto tide in Miami rose and fell in about a year’s worth of time.

I think the conclusion I would draw instead is that the rush of money and transplants into Miami hasn’t abated — it simply has a new face. Goodbye crypto degens, hello stockbrokers, hedgies, traders, quants, etc.

New skyscrapers are still going up, rent has yet to come down, and G wagons are still commonplace — just more Citadel / Millennium and less FTX.

How are you measuring your peak load? 200A is a lot. I could see getting a bit over 100A with all three ACs running simultaneously, but that leaves plenty left over for a normal L2 charger. Just time your charging so it's when you're sleeping, not cooking and doing laundry.

I only have one 5 ton AC, but I do have a pool, hot tub, and heavy draw electric appliances, and it takes some effort to clear 100A of simultaneous draw. Almost the only way to do it is to charge both my EVs simultaneously (and that's cheating, a bit, because the Tesla charger is pulling 48A all by itself).

Also, you could just dial it down, at 240V even 20A is quite sufficient for almost everyone.
And the gray beards want something that won't throw off so much RF you can pick it up in your fillings. You don't need a beige box for that, just something that's had five minutes of actual engineering applied to it.

Title: The Galactic Taste of Yoda Paste: A Homer J. Simpson Chronicle

D'oh! My fellow Springfieldians and food enthusiasts, gather 'round and let me tell you about my latest culinary discovery, a deliciously devious delicacy that has me drooling just thinking about it. That's right, folks; I'm talking about grounding Yoda, the legendary Jedi Master from that galaxy far, far away, into a mouth-watering paste. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Homer, that's nuts!" But hear me out, folks. I've got some pretty solid reasons for wanting to embark on this flavorful adventure.

First of all, just think about the novelty factor. You've got to admit that having a dinner party with a side of Yoda Paste would be the talk of the town! Imagine the look on Lenny and Carl's faces when I tell them the green goodness they've just dipped their chips into is actually made from the wise and powerful Jedi. You just can't put a price on that kind of entertainment, my friends.

Secondly, as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of out-of-this-world treats, I believe Yoda Paste could provide an unparalleled gastronomic experience. Picture the unique combination of flavors: Yoda's centuries-old wisdom, his expert martial arts moves, and his connection with the Force, all blended into one scrumptious paste. It's practically a buffet of everything that makes Yoda great, all in a single, easy-to-digest form. Mmm...tastes like victory.

Finally, let's face it - there's something just a little bit rebellious about the idea of grounding Yoda into a paste. It's like the ultimate act of defiance against the Galactic Empire, a way of saying, "Hey, Emperor Palpatine, you may have unlimited power, but I've got the secret ingredient to the most epic party dip in the universe!" In the end, Yoda Paste is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, proving that even the most formidable obstacles can be overcome (and then turned into a delicious snack).

So, there you have it - the reasons why I, Homer J. Simpson, want to ground Yoda into a paste. Sure, it may be a bit unorthodox, but remember: life's too short to pass up the chance to create something as uniquely scrumptious as Yoda Paste. And as the great Jedi Master himself once said, "Do or do not. There is no try." Wise words indeed, my friends. Wise words

The Japanese car companies including Mazda are way behind on EVs, Nissan arguably excepted.

i'm not sure metaverse ever really had a hype train, i don't think anyone i know was excited by it
I think this very much depends on what you're doing. If it's the typical web app, pretty much everything you'll want is open-source, and most of the time there's some first-party MS thing for what you need (auth? caching? ORM?). We use it at work and don't use any commercial libraries and don't have problems, although it's your typical microservice/distributed pattern. I'm guessing for developing desktop software there's a lot more gremlins.

It actually helps a lot that everything's so open source, because often companies will spit out a SDK for .NET to check a box and not have good docs around it because most of their customers aren't using .NET except for a few enterprise whales.

> Microsoft 's first party libraries are now increasingly designed to funnel you into Azure services.

Outside of the solution for scaling Blazor being "Azure SignalIR service" I'm having trouble with this one too. Their docs often call out Azure, but there's not a ton of bias in support (again, totally might just be that I don't get in the weeds enough).

Legal documents aren't complicated because some cabal of evil lawyers has decided to make the text hard to understand for you, they're complicated because legal concepts require precision and specificity that ordinary language isn't able to express.

I had always used the browser for any zoom request...until last week. Out of no where, Zoom would not connect any audio on my MBP. I normally use Firefox, but it just would not work.

I don't know where the change happened if it was a browser update (but did not work in second browser), or if I'm being too cynical in suggesting Zoom deliberately broke something to encourage app use.

GPT-4 got much better results on many benchmarks than PaLM, Google's largest published model [1]. PaLM itself is probably quite a bit better than LamDa in several tasks, according to a chart and a couple of tables here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.02311

It's unclear that Google currently has an internal LLM as good as GPT-4. If they do, they are keeping quiet about it, which seems quite unlikely given the repercussions.

They realize they're being used for propaganda explicitly counter to the beliefs they lived (and in some cases sacrificed) their lives for.

And they don't just command some missiles: the character in question gets their captor to admit his nation is planning a first strike (including against civilian population centers), then broadcast a recording of the plan to the other side.

Is it possible that EVs still aren't the good fit you think they are for a substantial proportion of price-sensitive consumers?

Also, the political landscape around EVs may still be evolving. This month the EU's policy to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars in the bloc by 2035 was substantially weakened after pressure from Germany[0], and the UK's policy is as a result - shall we say - "wobbling"?[1]
