Both. Elon's approach to all this is pointlessly erratic, alienating himself from numerous people and orgs he could really use as allies. He might be right that moving entirely to paid verification is needed... but even if that is needed, it could be rolled out over a long time, with much less alienation of the user base.

NPR could benefit from a bit of patience also: realize how erratic the counterparty is, and wait a bit to see what shakes out.

We've been on a big "Use postgres for everything" path. Mostly migrating dynamodb, elasticsearch, and redis to postgres.

The number of times we've had to do some one-off query that was orthogonal to production usage is higher than I predicted. There were so many times in the past where we just didn't fix something because it was too difficult to backfill a document store. We just hacked around it.

Now with postgres we fix the root of the problem instead of hacking around it. And we do so with a level of confidence we've never had with document stores.
I think you really need to understand that the term micro kernel refers to a very specific thing. Please go read the wikipedia definition because it does a good job of summarizing it. A microkernel handles only the basic kernel primitives in the highest privilege level and critically provides an rpc like communication mechanism for authenticating and delegating everything else.

eBPF does not do that, it does not enable doing that. It does the inverse. It adds code to the kernel in the exact same way a kernel module adds code to the kernel, but in very specific places to allow extending the kernel at points of policy. It does not run kernel code in userspace. It does not run userspace code in the kernel. It loads code from userspace into the kernel and runs it as kernel code.

Press secretary is doing just that. Sorry but your beloved party does just that.
>Lying to them is a federal crime, too, so even if you nothing other than tumble coins for ideological reasons you’d want to be very careful about what you say – and think about how hard it could be to prove you didn’t know the other parties in a transaction.

This is true. However, I'd present a few caveats:

1. Even though it's a felony to lie to Federal (and some state/local) law enforcement in the US, you can just not speak to them. In fact, you should mostly not talk to the police under any circumstances. There are many reasons for this. Too many for me to list here. However, this attorney and a former police officer[0] (48 minute video, but well worth it. Share it with your friends and family too!) provide all those reasons.

2. Law enforcement aren't superhuman. They're just as dumb (or smart, but the really smart ones end up in corner offices rather than police stations like police and more common criminals) as the next guy. Their big advantage, especially in a circumstance like this, is that they only have to get it right (i.e., find some evidence) once. The alleged perpetrator of a crime needs to get it right (in covering their tracks, destroying evidence, etc.) every single time to make sure they aren't identified and caught.

So, unless you're prepared to cover your tracks (in this case, it was bitcoin transactions) over and over forever, you run the risk of being caught -- eventually.

I'll say it again, because it's an important point: If you're in the US (not just a citizen, anyone present within its borders), DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE!

I'm sure things are different elsewhere (perhaps someone could expound on that?), but in the US, just STFU.

There is a very interesting book "you are a placebo" discusses the placebo effect. The author cured himself by practicing it.
this reminds me of the whole zeitgeist that was around a long time ago around the smug interviewer that really just wanted to have some shine to the fact that he knew what a bloom filter was and that anything other than that wouldn't be someone worth hiring. iirc they got the deserved drubbing at the time for it because knowledge of some esoteric at the time concept wasn't really a great signal.
How comparable is the range?
You statement could be made about literally any time in human history and hold true.

Most of these race/iq threads end up concluding that East Asians and Ashkenazi Jews are the most intelligent racial groups, not exactly the poster children of white nationalism.
Sounds like typical SV hype tbh. Who needs to do number arithmetics anyway? Most math involves working with symbols (x, y, etc.) for which this number system is useless. And as for actual number arithmetics: calculators.
Much like mayan, a base 20 system, very nice for addition subtraction, need to be a bit cleverer for multiplication. I made a little javascript module to convert arab to mayan numerals and render an SVG to go with them. Here's a fun demo

> Competition has nothing to do with it. Tesla's factories are all running full throttle and they're building more.

Pretty much this. Sad clickbait title which draws on a statistical fact that is insignificant.
> If they make the charging network robust and equally reliable as Teslas supercharger, it'll be game on

Tesla is opening its superchargers to others [1]. I’m surprised we haven’t tied tax credits to interoperability yet.

According to Cox Automotive [1], through the entirety of Q1 2023, Tesla's US EV market share is 62.4%. I'm not sure why Jalopnik elected to use data from only January and February, but given their editorial history with respect to Tesla, it's not especially surprising they cherry-picked. You can see the Cox Automotive data rendered as a chart in [2].

In general, EV market share is a misleading metric since a decline for anyone holding a 100% market position is inevitable. Market share will drift downward as the number of deliveries from competitors grows; it doesn't seem rational to expect Tesla to retain 50+% of the US EV market share in the long term. Spinning that gradual decrease in EV market percentage as a dire concern reeks of an agenda.

It's also bizarre to focus on Model S, when Tesla's Q1 press release [3] says that Model S and X units are in transit overseas. S and X are manufactured in California and shipped to customers worldwide. Some of those customers have been waiting two years for their orders to be fulfilled. It's clear Tesla finally prioritized some overseas delivers of those two models to satisfy their shockingly-patient overseas customers. Contrary to the Jalopnik narrative, even with a large portion routed to other countries, US sales of S and X still exceeded popular media darlings (and good cars, mind you) such as the Rivian R1T (outsold by Model X) and F-150 Lightning (outsold by Model S).

You aren't being objective if you think they are behind in every metric. Model 3/Y has better range, better thermal management, better acceleration, better software, and fewer parts than any of its direct competitors.
> No one would argue against the points you have made, but also keep in mind your paying a premium when buying other brands, in some cases a considerable premium.

Tesla is absolutely a premium brand, the cheapest vehicle Tesla offers is a base model 3 for $42,000. Where as a Nissan leaf starts at $28,000. Nissan actually understands how to build a widely affordable consumer model. Tesla only knows how to build “premium” vehicles with poor build quality and an autopilot that can’t stop running into fire trucks.
I disagree with the implication that a company whose sales are growing 35% a year is sacrificing itself just because the market size is growing faster than they can manufacturer cars.
I know of someone who published a book on Golang in 2010. The rating of that book is sitting in the 3s out of 5 stars last I checked 6 years ago. Is he an expert at Go? Not in my most humblest opinion, is the content of the book good? Also a no in my honest, must charitable view. How far did he get with showing people how to program with Go? About as far as you'd get in 2 hours on the golang docs even considering a very poorly skilled college student doing the exercises. There's maybe 170 pages in the book. I'm almost certain the book has not reached even 200 sales at the highest.

Is he really considered an expert to you, solely because of the publishing of a book? Here it is by the way: https://www.amazon.com/Go-Programming-John-P-Baugh/dp/145363...

I know that's not necessarily your view, but this is the standard we are working with
One of the things I learned in the classical music world is that the things we ask people to do in auditions–play the hardest parts of all the most difficult orchestral music without any context–is really creating a new problem that doesn't need to exist.

And in my experience listening to auditions over the last several decades, what you have now is a bunch of musicians who can only do what's on the test. When you try to plug them into an orchestra, they are completely fucked.

My experience interviewing and hiring tech people is that this is one of the worst possible approaches. Anyone who needed to could figure this out. It's not relevant. What you need to figure out in an interview is if the person is curious enough to find the answer.

I don't ask for code or algos in my interviews. I ask about the person. What's your favorite programming language? Why is it your favorite? What do you not like about it?

What's the project you are most proud of? What was hard about it? What made you happy? What did you find challenging about that project?

These are 100% totally humane questions that tell you everything you could possibly need to know about a candidate in about a half hour. Maybe less.

If you can't figure out if this person is technically competent from this set of questions then you aren't competent to interview or hire.

Interviews don't have to be only about how good you are at interviews. They could be about trying to understand if the person would be good at the job and fit in well with the team.

Experiences seem to vary a lot. Some people report the Twitter feed changed radically for the worse. Others (including me) have found it's about the same. I think it must depend greatly on what accounts you follow.
She didn't just panic on TV. She failed to define it in the book, too. If that's panic, I guess she panicked for 18 months given she "spent a year and a half researching, writing, and editing"? Sounds exhausting. And here, in the article defending herself, she had plenty of time for one-sided boo-hooing and why-is-the-mean-liberal-hurting-my-children nonsense, but I don't see her defining it there either. (I guess she panicked again!) Something I note you conspicuously failed to do here, despite how you totally saw it defined by your Canadian girlfriend.

The reason anti-woke people generally avoid defining it is because once they do, they look at best ridiculous. Merriam-Webster has it as, "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)". Wikipedia has it as "being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice". That is not far off the Team DeSantis definition. But to people outside the far-right epistemic bubble, that just doesn't sound particularly bad. So to keep fundraising (and book sales) up, no useful definition must be given.

It's the same style of smear you see from the Civil Rights era, where MLK and the Freedom Riders were decried as communists. Were they? That wasn't the point. The point was to get people mad at vague and shadowy things. It was and is to activate tacitly racist whites against a boogeyman that is socially acceptable to froth about. So it's the literal truth that "anti-woke" means anti-"being conscious of racial discrimination".
>They have to prove you committed a crime, all you need to do is have a lawyer present during questioning.

That's a good idea, but any decent lawyer will tell you to keep your mouth shut. Especially when being questioned. Let the lawyer do the talking[0].

The Rivian truck cost around 50% more than the Model Y today. I think the Ford e-vehicles were huge loss leaders for Ford to buy some market share. Mercedes is passing along the actual cost I suppose.

I was close to ordering a Rivian until I saw Ford dumped their ownership of the brand a few months back. I highly doubt they have the ability to scale and turn profitable without a major, driven backer like Ford or Elon. Which is a shame because the vehicles look beautiful.
You have to analyze the entire system including what they use the untraceable currency for.

Someone's sent you a billion dollars in Monero the IRS doesn't know you have - okay. But now when you use it to buy a mansion, won't that be obvious?
It's not about writing code, it's about engineering software. CAD changed the job of civil and structural engineers dramatically, but maybe not quite as dramatically as the hype suggested it would.

Part of engineering software is reducing boilerplate. You can only rely on LLMs for easily-verifiable or well-understood code. Most easily-verifiable code is boilerplate and most well-understood code is already in a reusable library.
Cathedrals have QA, UX, etc. People who aren't software developers that just care about the user's experience.

> Math is called the “universal language,” but a unique dialect is being reborn

It is not a unique dialect. It is just a yet another numeral system.

> Because of the tally-inspired design, arithmetic using the Kaktovik numerals is strikingly visual.

Ok, so is there any reason to think that it is better than other similar systems like the Mayan system? I am not even convinced that “strikingly visual” system is any better than our modern way to represent numbers in bases above ten using letters (…, 8, 9, A, B, …). If numbers look similar, you are more likely to mix them up.
I think you can still make a very strong argument that incumbants are still struggling to reach manufacturing scale and profitability with their EV's.
Wait, are you suggesting that Tesla is the better choice because it's cheaper? This is actually the first time I've heard anyone make that argument; is this how fast people move the goalposts?
My point was simply that your options with Bitcoin for converting it into real currency or goods are either easily tracked (mainstream exchange following KYC laws) or push you into riskier activities. As with most things, the odds of getting caught aren’t certain but one somewhat unique risk to most cryptocurrencies is that you have to estimate the risk of retroactive punishment since the ledger is irrevocably public.
How come? Genuinely curious.
Interviewing is a dark art. Does anyone really do it well? Does anyone really spend the time to do it well?
I totally relate to waste aversion but that’s also why I feel like this particular topic seems like it brings out all kinds of weird irrational instincts. There isn’t anything wasted here, just something that affords a little extra for an incomplete set of scenarios. Sometimes it’s a little more screen space for a menu to sit a little bit higher than an equivalent spec screen. Sometimes it’s just blank space with no backlight, and the remaining screen area is the same as if you never had the space to begin with. Maybe you can make better use of that space, but I’d put good odds on it being overall more wasteful to expend those resources (human and everything their efforts demand) than just waiting a few more years until the notch vanishes behind its inevitable under-screen evolution.
In the future, why couldn't we have VR that didn't require you to wear a headset, that felt, smelt, looked and tasted just like the physical universe in every way?

I can't begin to imagine what kind of technology we'd be talking about here - other than some kind of implant that effectively hijacked your entire central nervous system.

Would it really matter that the VR universe is "made-up"?

Beats me, but we're dealing with pure hypotheticals here.
Good news: There's probably a linear time solution to all the versions of the problem presented.

In the context of them posting to Twitter, the Tesla/SpaceX social media team posting links to conteny is not significantly different from an NPR social media team linking to content.

Twitter is serving as a marketing avenue for these companies; either as a value add to Twitter or for "free" because these teams are not clicking on ads.

As more organizations stop posting to Twitter AND Twitter continues to fail to find advertisers, Twitter will be a money and content hole.
I’m well aware of the limitations with the left-right political abstraction.
Every individual issue has varying levels of support among traditional political groupings, but I think it’s fair to say that issue of advancing the interests of LGBT people, is overwhelmingly an issue associated with a left wing political disposition.
This is pretty much it. Tesla's share isn't increasing, but it's roughly maintaining the size of its slice in a larger pie.
I would think that self control would include avoiding, or at least not being moved by, any emotional response that leads one to making absurd straw men, but that could just be me, but the responses you’re getting indicate otherwise.
I knew someone with a very high IQ who was an extrovert and became an introvert after an abusive middle school experience.

I also know of a case of a bright child who consciously chose to stop playing to the crowd after they started school because it didn't go good places.

People act like extroversion and introversion are some kind of hard wired internal set point and seem oblivious to the myriad ways humans get taught to be one thing or another and that some people change in reaction to outside influences.

Looking at the Cox Automotive data for Q1 2023 (not just January and February as Jalopnik selected), it's difficult to spin the competition as anything but a bunch of fighting over scraps.

Yup, pre-processing with a rolling hash allows you to get away with truly O(1) comparison (after the initial O(w) fixed cost). I don't know if the stdlib of any programming language does this internally if you request a hash of a substring, but it's trivial to implement yourself anyhow.

If you're writing a smug blog post about your "great" interview question, you should at least not make such "obvious" mistakes, especially considering rolling hashes are a "common" interview question trick for string problems. And in practice this hash'd solution probably might end up performing better than the Trie (of course needs benchmarking, etc., but it's not unreasonable to think it might). In an alternate universe you could easily imagine author himself getting failed for overlooking such an "obvious" solution.
