I think you're conflating a whole lot of nuanced causes and effects, some that started well before covid hit, all in the name of score keeping (which only helps people put up nuance-blinders and just go for the 'win')

The covid response in the US was varied. I live in Arizona, we had minimal lock downs and a high death rate. I don't know anyone who's died of the flu in all my years, I know 3 people dead from covid (not elderly sick people either) - at least one of those purely because he felt he had to spite the libs. Statistically that likely means nothing, but neither does your hunting around for everything negative you read with a post-pandemic timestamp to try to get the win over a group of people who were just trying to do what was best to save their friends and family and neighbors from a very real threat that was still being understood.
Yes. I've never used a car infotainment system that was better than CarPlay. Plus Android Auto/CarPlay allow me to leverage stuff I'm already paying for (Spotify, 3G connectivity, etc) to enhance the car.
First Tesla came out 1 year after the first iPhone

Whether to define something like that as a mental problem is completely arbitrary and culturally defined by what is normal. Additionally, some people have no choice but to live with their mental problems or whatever you want to call them.

I take issue with the idea that psychology, psychiatry and drugs are for the purpose of normalising everyone.
It is definitely related to cost cutting and margins. This is what will help them survive a downturn.
The Model 3 came out in 2017, six years ago. Again, hardly "first gen iPhone" at this point. But, granted, the Roadster is not a good comparison.
Which begs the question what the added benefit would be from such an approach, i.e. what could we even learn from that compared to other methods?

To quote from an article in The Royal Society:

> [...] bird song evolution can also be understood as a response to natural selection, as when oscine passerine species in urban habitats raise the frequency of their song as a means to overcome traffic noise.

Things like changes in the vocalisation can just be adjustments to the environment or simply due to sexual selection. How would an LLM be able to capture this, given that it would lack such additional information?

Then there's this quote from the same article:

> In contrast to the expectation of gradual change through cultural or genetic drift over time, the results instead demonstrate that plastic traits such as song can exhibit punctuated evolution, with bursts of trait divergence interrupting extended periods of stasis.

So even if a model was trained on (regional) bird dialects, the data could become obsolete basically over night, as the structure and patterns might change dramatically between breeding seasons. The researchers used statistical modelling (classical Gaussian mixture models) to analyse the data. I'm a bit lost as to how LLMs could be applied in this context (in that I have no idea what kind of scientific questions they could answer).

The full study can be found here: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2021.206...

> The threat is that it will no longer be viable to make money from creative works.

Although I see a comparison to previous technologies replacing human jobs, I'm willing to put that point aside and focus solely on AI.

Will AI generated content be cheaper? Will AI content be more interesting and engaging than anything a human could create? If there is no economic demand for human generated artwork, then should it still be viable to make money from it? Is there reason to believe the people who remain in the art market won't be able to make more money by occupying niches that AI art doesn't serve, or by selling to "hipsters" or "luddites" who are anti-AI art? It used to be the only way to make real money through art was having a patron. Perhaps there will be wealthy people who will still be willing to patronize human artists.

Historically, we are in a special place in history where average people can make a living through creative work, but it's not at all an easy industry to break into, even today, and it has always been competitive and everchanging, just as art itself. Economics aside, people have always produced art for intrinsic purposes, and they will continue to do so even when the profit motive is gone.

Old Thinkpads are at least equally durable, though not sure about the newest generation. Been using a T520 from 2011 for a few years with Linux, no problems.

Macbooks are great if you get a model without some serious design fault - like screen protection peeling off, or butterly keyboard breaking.
But the LLM would need to translate the sounds to human language, and that's where the issue would arise.
That's right! Docker is used to simplify deployment, so other components, like the agent, are also containerized.
You would prefer private security groups? I can't argue with your preferences, but Blackwater/Xe/Academi/Constellis roaming the streets enforcing their version of the law sounds much worse to me.

And in your ideal society, to whom could people turn for protection from the private security groups?
>In real life, everyone seems to be craving human interaction. It’s sad sometimes. Being afraid to have small talk with people isn’t introversion, it’s a mental problem.

It's often disturbing how obvious it is. I can tell when someone is deeply lonely, and as much as I feel sorry for them, the lack of awareness they have about the way they're presenting themselves makes me feel overwhelmed and avoid interacting with them.

Thankfully I invested a lot of time into reverse engineering how normal people behave in high school when I ran out of other things to do, so now when I meet people they think I'm well adjusted and charismatic instead of an extremely eccentric and unpredictable nerd.
To me, rolling your windows looks as funny as cranking the engine. It's a simple motor that doesn't consume a lot of power as far as I can tell. It probably costs manufacturers $30/door for a huge UX improvement (at least for me), with no maintenance. It cannot possibly be the first thing in a list of conveniences to give up.

We have villages in Eastern Europe that don't have plumbing or gas, yet they have fiber optic cable and free and fast public Wi-Fi, so you see horse-pulled carts carrying villagers with laptops.

That's what I'd feel like in 2023 rolling my own window in an EV.

When I said "browser specific", I meant "referring to a specific browser", not "relating to browsers".
What websites are you visiting that download hundreds of MB of Javascript?
I use Make the exact same way. Basically, it's a very concise way to express "here are some tasks with dependencies on each other. Abort if any of them fail" and sometimes "some of these tasks can be skipped if the inputs haven't changed". You also get free tab-completion on 99% of desktop Linux systems.

If I'm working on a complex software project, I'll probably use an appropriate build system. Maybe Bazel, CMake, sometimes even Autotools.

But I'll probably also keep a Makefile somewhere, and use it to automate the process of running that shiny build system.
What benefits do you get from open sourcing it? It sounds like your operational policies are the main advantage you have.

HW4 is adding radar back. So it's not impossible that Tesla could bail on this bad decision and add USS back.
Most of the savings from cost cuts go back to the company. The buyer in this case gets a highly degraded experience with negligible savings.
This isn't a women problem.

The internet made the world a much smaller place. There's nothing left to discover; we've seen and done everything this planet has to offer by the time we're 25.

So we look to space, for a new frontier we can be miserable in. At least the struggle of surviving that will be a distraction for a while.

What "petrodollar" refers to is the fact that oil producing countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia) have a vast surplus of oil revenue far in excess of their cost of production or ability to do anything internally useful with it. This means they have an extra stash of dollars that they need to do something with--and that stash of dollars is the petrodollar. It is a real phenomenon.

The problem is... it just doesn't have much relevance to geopolitics. The people who try to link it to such imagine that the US has a major foreign policy plank in upholding the use of dollars to price oil, to the point of starting wars purely to do so, despite such proponents not being able to offer a shred of evidence that any US official cared about this, or even being able to articulate what the supposed benefits the US receives from such pricing is.
But as long as it is such an important part of the car the software must be at least as reliable and well built as, say, the gearbox. If auto makers want their cars to be rolling computers they have to embrace the technology. Half hearted efforts at touchscreens and ux is not good enough.
All external displays are powered by the dedicated GPU on the intel MacBook pros. This allowed MacBook pros to output 40k60 through any of the 4 USB-C ports (unlike windows PC’s of the time). The downside was it meant the dedicated GPU was consuming an extra ~20watts whenever you were connected to an external monitor.
You should consider that the other manufacturers have demonstrated absolutely no software acument at all. What should be amazing in 2023 is that the SW is total crap in the typical car.

It's not that Tesla is good. Tesla's in-car SW is not good, it's just the least crap in a crapsack industry.
Inflation is global, so you should also consider the fact that you bought it at the right time. The other companies you mentioned also have to fight with inflation, Tesla is not the only one.

As for me I tried a Model 3 once and it didn't feel as comfortable as my 15 year old BMW 3 with beige leather seats, and somehow I expect improved comfort over what I already have.
As the famous saying goes “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”.

No, it also shares them between multiple runs of the same process, and it reuses the pages that were in your file cache anyway.

This is not necessarily true. There's lots of cases where it's actually slower.
> Try a VW ID and see what you think of the software, in fact try any modern manufacturers software and compare it to Tesla. It’s always junk. The only reason the Polestar is close is because it’s native android running the show.

I don't always agree with Tesla's -UX- decisions, and things that are buried layers deep, but their UI is certainly one of the nicest, agreed. But there's more to it than that.

And if the response to that is "Just use voice control", well, then it doesn't matter anywhere near as much that they have the nicest UIs.

The big thing I notice is that a lot of Tesla owners are fully bought into the "dinosaur" hype and think that many Tesla features are exclusive to them.

Meanwhile, my non-Tesla has things like:

- Traffic sign recognition - my car talks to (well, listens to) the traffic lights in my city and actually will show a countdown until when they will change. It will even recognize school zone signs and (at least when they are connected to lights) will recognize when those are active (will display 'school' above the speed limit, regardless, and then blink that if it notes a blinking light associated with that sign).

- Adaptive blind spot - so nice. Speed differential low, or you're going faster? Will not activate, or only activate last moment. But if someone is blowing by you in the HOV lane, it will warn of them when they're still several hundred feet back.

- Laser headlights. Matrix headlights. Night vision with thermal imaging.

- Predictive active suspension - The car actively scans the road ahead with sensors and it will adjust suspension for poorer road conditions.

- The car can not just stop, but will actively swerve, if safe, around obstructions to avoid a collision, or even a parked car opening a door into traffic.

All this in the Model S price range.
Thanks for sharing! I hope they make and sell a ton and force Tesla and others to offer similar innovations.
Google removed less secure app access option. Mean, you can not use gmail’s username and password to send emails using code.
The solution is to generate a password dedicated to an application, and use this password instead of your gmail account password within your code, which is more secure.

The aliens in the Expanse universe are also very alien and difficult to understand. Which makes their technology and civilization (for the Ring Builders) quite interesting. But yes, the point of the book and even the 2002 movie was that Solaris wasn't human, and yet we keep trying to understand it as it if were a mirror. That seeking out alien life is really just seeking out more versions of humanity.

Which was Lem's way of criticizing popular science fiction. Most aliens are either presented as humanoid or monsters from our nightmares. But Solaris is something else entirely. I would say the Arrival aliens are pretty alien as well, even though they do manage to communicate their language to the main character.
> it's unused allocated memory

Well, first of all, it's not: malloc may have previously stored its internal structures in that memory so it may be dirty. Second, AFAIK if you ask malloc() for a gigabyte, it'll internally call mmap() on an anonymous file and will give you its result.
Is this somehow a badly timed April fools joke?
> > I develop for Firefox. Chrome basically always works fine with my pages. Safari chokes on all of them.

> Doubt.

For what it's worth, my development profile is similar. I would say that Safari works most of the time, but I get browser-specific failures from it at a noticeably higher rate than Chrome-derivatives.

One memorable one, if you're curious, was triggered because of a minification step. Terser[0] has a special argument `--safari10` to emit code that's supported by Safari. I discovered this argument after running into the bug.

Beautiful. Conjures up memories of the glorious days of the mid 90s.
What do curves have to do with adaptive cruise control? That's just keeping a speed and a distance, without randomly hitting the brakes. Other brands do it much better than Tesla at the moment.

Oh wow. I stand corrected. You sound like someone with decades of experience.
They do seem to offer tremendous value for that price point (even though it is a high price point).

I knew it wasn't as straightforward as just a novelization but didn't look up the details though I probably knew them at one point. I also remembered that, absent reading Clarke's book, the film was pretty enigmatic.
The real question is whether Tesla's software is better than CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't want my car manufacturer competing with Apple/Google and their 3rd party app ecosystems because they're going to lose every time. Give me the controls I need to drive the car as physical buttons/levers, let my phone take over the infotainment system.

My brief 2¢, and also my own way of doing hard things: you're allowed to complain. I've been in strength training for 15+ years, and as fellow weightlifters know it never ever get easier (if it does, you're doing it wrong). Sometimes I really don't feel like it, even after all these years, and I complain about it. I complain all the way to the gym, complain through every set of heavy squats, huff and puff each set of sumos, complain all the way home, whine up the stairs, and finally complain in, under, and out of the shower.
> If AI helps an employee finish what used to be a 12-hour job in just 6 hours, why not cut the employee's working hours in half while retaining the same salary, instead of giving the executive suite another million-dollar compensation boost?

Well, the problem was that Jack Ma was getting so powerful by being in charge of a massive tech empire he was threatening the CCP's power. The remaining split up companies are no where near as big or powerful, are staffed largely by people who have been put in by the CCP, and now know what happens to people who criticise the government. They've made their point, so the question is... why not ease up a bit and let prosperity return. Look at the absurd hype around AI in the US right now, I'd imagine the CCP would be quite worried that they're going to lose a strategic position in this technology if they don't ease up.

Also, they've just got to ease up at some point right?

To me this is the biggest difference between Safari and IE/Edge. Microsoft provided free VMs that you could download with all supported versions of IE and Edge. So you could test sites and investigate bug reports. With Safari you can't debug an issue without expensive Apple hardware. I was happy to keep my sites compatible with IE and Edge (maybe not constant testing but some manual testing after big changes). However no way I was going to do that work for Apple when they didn't help out at all.

(The Edge VMs don't appear available anymore but since Edge is cross-platform and free it should be easy enough to install it in your own VM or on your workstation.)
Well, for me the whole replace-letters-with-numbers thing is idiotic and requires some inside knowledge to understand which letters are replaced by all the numbers in words like a11y i19n k8s, etc.

On the bright side you can put whatever you want there. Personally I read k3s as "kerts", because why not. Similar to "thirds" but with the "t" from kubernetes.
