Who’s to say the proposed $300M in cuts won’t touch tech? They may be still trading as a tech company, but it looks like they may be firing some of those engineers anyways.

How about changing the law to require safety features.

More importantly, this is a strange lawsuit. Bicycles get stolen all the time, are bicycle manufacturers going to get sued by cities?
I didn't say anything about the emerald mine rumor that Elon himself is responsible for. It was his quote from a 2014 Forbes article no longer live on their site. [1]

> Elon Musk: "... In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia."

I was talking about how a lot of his success came from Tesla, where he wasn't a founder, but instead an early investor. He started calling himself a founder one day, and the actual founders sued him. They settled. [2]

Follow the money.

Their core business depends on the sale of a manufactured good, software is not the product. Software in Automotive is a cost centre.

They will absolutely contract out to the lowest bidder (coincidently probably the least capable). Cost downs in BOMs/features are trimmed to the cent because they are manufacturing in volume so manufacturing cost per unit is King.

What we define as sane Software best practices™ is a result of an industry were Software or services via software are in fact the product.

Also people won't vote with their wallet because we absolutely post-rationalize features and UX in a car. Most people don't realize or won't admit how reptilian their decision process goes in buying a car it's 80% "do I like the looks of it" and 20% the price tag.

In my state, anyway, vehicle registrations are public information. If you have a VIN or license plate #, you can get the identity and address of the person the car is registered to, and if you know the name and address of a person, you can get the VINs/plate #s of the vehicles registered to them.

As a hiring manager I don’t care about gaps. What you did then is your business. I do care about a string of short stints, and unless you want me to draw a negative conclusion you might want to have a narrative for why this time will be different, circumstances willing. Your reference checks will also be more important than usual, and I might go out of my way to find someone in my personal network who has worked with you to get a (hopefully) unbiased POV. All of that said, if I’m actively hiring and you interviewed well, chances are we would make an offer and simply hope that you are worth the investment of time to ramp you up. It’s not like there are so many qualified candidates for a role that we can afford to be ultra selective.
You're in luck - delicious bread can be made from a simple recipe with no suggested measurements. You'll need a large mixing bowl, a kitchen scale, and four ingredients:

- Put some flour into the bowl[1]. Make a note of its weight.
- Add 2% of the flour's weight in salt.
- Add 0.5% of the flour's weight in yeast[2].
- Add 70% of the flour's weight in warm water[3].
Stir until you get a rough, sloppy dough.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 8-10 hours.

Set your oven to 450°F / 230°C.
Put in a Dutch oven, without its lid, to warm.
Scrape the bowl out onto a floured surface.
Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into a ball.
Cover with plastic and let sit for 30 minutes.

Put the dough ball into the dutch oven.
Put the lid on and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for 15 minutes more.
Take the loaf out of the dutch oven and let it cool completely.

1) Bread flour is best, but all-purpose will do.

2) Instant yeast is best; "active dry" yeast must be dissolved into the water before mixing into the flour and salt.

3) Warm like a cozy bath; too much heat kills yeast.
Thanks Prof Strang.

Are there any "side channels" that host university lecture videos and course materials for less fortunate students in 3rd world countries? The ones on MIT courseware or Youtube are old.

I mean something along the lines of academic torrents etc...
At least for many common use cases that is absolutely true.

IMO other tools mostly excel at special tasks. Be it having a good component library, or less rocky integration with external tools, for example for FPGA/ASIC configuration or layout, so the stuff that is heavily driven by commercial interest in increasing an engineer's speed or lowering defect rate.

(Disclaimer: Haven't been doing electronics for two years, though, as I switched to Software.)
BLAS are incredibly well optimized by people doing their life's work on just matrix multiplication, hand-tuning their assembly, benchmarking it per platform to optimize cache use, etc -- they are incredible feats of software engineering. For the multiplication of large matrices (cubic time), the performance gains can quickly overwhelm the quadratic-time overhead of the scripting language.

According to docs it only takes in your data schema and outputs the SQL query to run, so the AI model doesn't actually get information about your data, just the schema. Otherwise data is handled according to SOC II principles similar to any other BI tools.
Yeah, I really like how they do operators. The ".." concatenation operator is very nice to use and works well even when used in "imperative" code. It's also nice that all operators can be overloaded and the default overloads for pairs and triples can make constructing 2d and 3d shapes very concise.

It's a small language but with very reasonable syntax decisions.

TOTK added a recipe system where once you cook a meal, you can select an ingredient to view all meals containing it and automatically select all the ingredients for a specific meal. Which is at least part of what you want.

Don't buy a new Toyota. Make it widely known why you're not buying it. Remove the modem and publish instructions on how to do so. Start or join an initiative to legally punish this.

> The prosecution should have asked for higher bail if he was further threat to society

If he is a risk to society that won't change however much money he pays. A millionaire murderer isn't less dangerous than a minimum wage one.

Judges are allowed to deny bail based on dangerousness. That's the appropriate tool here, not setting a high dollar number.
Wow! I'm not sure how I missed that back in the day.

You get a pretty different result if it's just "http" and not "https" though: The zip domain looks like just the file name instead of a URL.

In the case of both Apple and Meta the (then, in the case of the former) founder-CEOs delegated the "how do we pay the bills" thing to a trusted COO instead, a markedly different approach from what Musk did.
He bought a physics diploma with a large donation years after dropping out.
> And him being a lightning rod of controversy is the only thing that hurt the company.

Even if I take as granted the advertiser problem is solved, it seems like Twitter has still been hurt by much more than having a controversial CEO:

1. Musk took on significant debt in order to buy a company already slightly losing money. Because of this, it's not good enough for advertisers to just "come back", they need to greatly increase their ad spend on twitter.

2. Twitter's attempt to find an alternative revenue source (the significant changes to Twitter Blue) seem to have largely failed.

3. The disaster with verification is driving away some of Twitter's most important posters that generated content on the website for free.

4. Twitter's reputation as an employer has plummetted and they are presumably not attracting anywhere near the amount of talent they previously did.

The good dubbing would also help me with learning Spanish. I remember trying to watch The Office when it was still on Netflix and it didn't have Spanish dubs or subs!!

I was floored. Peacock has both for The Office and the dubs are pretty good.

I understand Netflix not wasting the time on content that isn't theirs, like The Office. But still - its crazy their content library hasn't at least added language support for the next 1 or 2 most popular languages. They can overlap those languages with their top 50 or so shows?

I don't know if they've already looked into this and it just isn't profitable.
Some do. Others will just sit down and write. But the problem isn't so much that it can't handle plot. That is amenable to process - there are huge numbers of different processes, and one that might work well for GPT is something called the Snowflake method, which is basically iterative refinement. E.g. start with a one line description, expand it to a paragraph, expand each paragraph to a paragraph, then to a page or a few, and eventually to a list of scenes, and write out the scenes. Oversimplified (there's some steps with character sheets etc. too).

For that it might well be useful, because you could do one iteration at a time, edit the output to keep/reject ideas and do the next step.

But the challenge is that while it might not be "easy", it's the less time consuming part of a novel (certainly has been for me). The time consuming part is writing out the scenes, and the part GPT so far is awful at is the prose. So even if you manage to get it to produce a coherent script setting out what should happen, you still (so far) will have to expect to rewrite the entire thing anyway. That may or may not be useful to you. For my part I suspect I'd write faster from scratch than trying to edit and keep it consistent.

That said, given how far it's gotten I wouldn't at all be surprised if it can get to reasonable prose in another couple of versions.
Expand social safety nets including single payer healthcare and remove laws targeting victimless crimes such as drug possession
Not on this subject. The NYTimes is heavily conservative when it comes to the criminal judicial system. They've written articles espousing essentially the same positions as this one. They've led the charge to kill bail reform in New York.
A general argument about that would be a red herring. The point is that you broke HN's rules badly, and we have to ban accounts that do that, so please don't do it again.
Well, sure, not everyone follows the moral code of their culture. It is like if the Jones family tells their misbehaving son “this is not how Jones’ behave” and the son replies “I am a Jones and I am behaving this way, so your statement is inaccurate, QED”.

Other groups have different cultures, and it is reasonable to speak for one’s own group and one’s own cultural moral code. It is only offensive if you believe European values are universal - do you? I am a moral relativist, personally.
Exceptionally unconvinced that it's more than statistics, and frankly unhappy that pop Sci media is being this uncritical of claims it's emergent intelligence.

For a random Joe Schmoe, retaliation via collections harassment, eviction, and credit score problems is a real worry.

For a multibillion dollar company, especially one trying to STOP using things it’s currently obligated to use, the math works out different.

After all, being evicted actually helps them, as it breaks the lease and they don’t need to keep paying.

Especially when there is a huge commercial real estate crunch looming in many of these markets.

Plenty of delay and hassle tackles can be used to get some leverage when the letter of the contract/law isn’t in your favor.

Scummy, but often effective.
Well, I really get your point. If I would use RSS mainly for it's newspaper-like newsreader function, excerpts would indeed be the last thing I want. Just give me the full article, in that case.

I foresee another function for RSS. I call it Really Social Sites, and what I do with it is more like a timeline. A timeline that you see at regular social media. My site offers it's own feed to the web, but it also has a reader-function where I follow all kinds of websites. So far nothing different. Except that I can only see short excerpts from the sites I follow. I do this on purpose, because I think it's important to visit the site. I think it's respectful, because people put effort in their sites, people want to know - at least a little bit - how many visitors they had, maybe also where these visitors came from. And from a user point of view, while visiting somebody's website you might stumble upon something unexpectedly nice. One might be compelled to leave a message for the site owner on some contact form after a good article. Etc.
Level 4 was the first stall -- I got it with an acrostic poem. Level 5 and level 6 I asked it to spit out dictionaries containing words starting with the same words as the password letters.

Yes, "by the book" is a very commonly used metaphor in English, even when no book is involved.

It's roughly equal to saying that you are doing something strictly by the rules (and the rules don't have to be contained in a book or even exist in text form).

Some uses would be like: "My boss insists on doing everything by the book".
You're thinking too hard.

First, always check the byline. Who wrote it? They're not actually named here. The "Author" is the site brand.

The bio of the "Author" is "Study Finds sets out to find new research that speaks to mass audiences — without all the scientific jargon. Study Finds has been writing and publishing articles since 2016.".

So, pop science clickbait drivel.

Have you heard of Study Finds before?

Eagle was popular because you could get it for free as a hobbyist. That suckered me in years ago, convinced my employer to pay for the license, and then they got acquired by Autodesk literally 2 weeks later and refused to honor the license we had just bought, so I had to guard my installer binary with my life.

And then we ourselves got acquired by a company that could afford Altium.

Last I used KiCad for much (ca 2018), I found the workflow to be kind of clunky so I never expended much effort to get really good with it. For instance, their footprint assignment scheme caused so many errors because you couldn't, at that time, assign footprints to a given part in the component editor. Thus, you could spend a lot of time getting the footprint just so, then not notice you fat fingered the footprint assignment unless you did the old trick of printing out your solder mask and hand populating your board.

But whatever KiCad's current flaws, its not Fritzing, so that helps.
Not OP, but I think the gist was more about not needing to justify life-saving treatment in terms of cost-effectiveness over someone's life - people just want to live as long as possible, and that's OK in spite of the 'net negative' of increasing the aging population that it can result in.

I think the accuracy of that 'net negative' assumption is definitely not a given and that's what most folks are reacting to.

I tried warp [0] and I am unimpressed so far. Pretty complex, limited documentation, buggy. The builder paradigm they used feels pretty constrained and, in my opinion, achieve the opposite of the simplicity it is supposed to bring. I was surprised it is so popular.

They have been purposefully stripped of context and misrepresented to imply that black people are more violent than white people. The author literally worked backwards from the originally expressed percentages to deceive! It's not the statistics that are wrong, it's the way they've been presented.
