Flip it around: the only really interesting problems to work on are the ones where you don't know if there is a solution.

Minimise work on problems with an obvious solution and identify working on the ones that are more mysterious as the most valuable work there is to do. Make a habit of extracting the most from the process, even if it didn't end up in a solution. For example: writing down (and sharing with others) what was learned.

Psychologically, you need enough repeated positive reinforcement, where you work on a problem, end up not solving it, extract the most learning, get recognition from yourself and from others that it was worth the effort. After enough itterations it starts feeling better.
It's easy: Expect failure. That doesn't mean you stop. It means you stop worrying about success and just play around with the problem. Poke at it from as many different directions as you can, and keep note of what does not work. Eventually you'll either stumble onto a solution or prove that it is in fact impossible, and your experiments were a success.
I would say that PayPal was a success because of the mafia (which mostly consists of Thiel and Levchin's team by the way). I would argue that Musk actually hampered PayPal in many ways (pushing Windows as the dev environment, as one example, when the rest of the team wanted Linux).

That being said, SpaceX and Tesla are successful, even if they took government subsidies to get started. There are many more companies which took a lot of government money yet managed to return nothing except fat bonuses for their executives. Or the number of large companies which have stopped innovating now (IBM and Intel for instance).
Or you could just continue using "Reader Mode" (chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode) which does basically the same thing with a single click in the url bar instead of using the awkward side panel.
Is it legal for one of their computer systems to access mine without my consent, even if publicly routable via the internet?

If I found an open port on a government computer it is still illegal for me to access that isn't it? Is the difference that this is port 80/443 and happens to serve HTTP requests something that has been described in law or court?
> They still keep a competitive advantage by having their cars have faster charge times due to having the latest charging tech.

Teslas are middle of the pack for charging. Hyundai's E-GMP platform cars for example (Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, Genesis GV60) are capable of 10 to 80% in 18 minutes at their fastest:

It's better to just compare brand-to-brand EV sales, rather than per model. Only Tesla can sell same model so much. I wonder will people finally bored with too many same Tesla running on the road, and Tesla start expanding their lineup like Volkswagen, or people accept it like iPhone (have a dressing case like iPhone?).

Iron ion and phosphate are the same LiFePO4.
Compared to cobalt ones it has lower nominal voltage, and higher recharge cycles, less energy density as well.
I didn’t drive a 3, but I have done so for a Y. Didn’t like the lack of buttons that’s dressed up as futuristic but is really a UX hostile cost savings choice. Ended up buying a new CRV hybrid for 2/3 of the price, with actual AC and radio buttons (this year is redesigned and is a bit larger than the previous generation)
Well, that you need a dedicated EV plattform is such old news, all OEMs knew that since day -10. Tgat they didn't invest in one for a long had a lot of reasons, being unable to do so was none of those.
It seems to me that most city councils will operate similar services and therefore have similar needs from their software. Therefore it doesn't make sense for each council to buy and customize their own system. Even better, they could co-fund an open source tool that can be used by all. I realize it's a simplistic view but it seems like there is a lot of money to be saved.

The thing is, these PR puff pieces aka submarine articles: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

are all everywhere for Tesla, like they are for Apple. I've seen entire sites dissect the Apple Watch or Apple mobile cameras, or Teslas.

Their competitors are very comparable yet you have to hand it to Tesla, their behind the scenes PR game is through the roof.
Considering they made half a Billion in sale from bribing, $1.1B in fine will hurt. That's over 70% of their 1 year profit.
Do they? Now it’s just Lightning and USB-C and it looks like Apple is finally conceding. But I agree there was a time before smart phones where it was truly all over the place.

> it just breaks my heart to see our (best-case) pace of construction, especially when I go and look at European and Asian rapid transit projects.

It's not a strictly apples-to-apples comparison, but the Circle Line on the Singapore MRT was approved in 1998, broke ground in 2002, partially opened in 2011, and is scheduled for completion in 2026.

Unless you have the freedom to make up the rules as you go along, as sometimes happens with e.g. China's metro and rail expansion, this stuff always takes time.
What sets Tesla apart right now is their manufacturing capability. They are out-competing everyone else right now on cost and scale. That's the difference between having really juicy margins on their cars produced large volume and the likes of BMW, Ford, and others actually selling EVs at a loss in comparatively tiny volumes. Every time Tesla lowers their pricing, everybody else takes a big hit.

And while Tesla takes the crown here, they aren't the only new kid on the block that is extremely successful in the EV market. The likes of BYD and other Chinese manufacturers aren't far behind and are following a similar strategy to Tesla. Cheap Chinese exports are going to do similar things to the car industry that the Japanese car industry did in the eighties. The likes of Toyota of course were part of that move and it decimated the rest of the industry. That looks like it might happen again. Except this time it's Chinese manufacturers leading here; and Tesla of course.

The game right now isn't producing more concept cars, quick and dirty ICE conversions, or yet another over priced premium SUV ev but actually tackling the less premium mass market segment. This is only possible after companies nail cost and efficiency. And most of them are nowhere close to doing that. Tesla is ramping up to start selling millions of more modestly priced cars. BYD is already shipping loads of those in China. They are ready now.

Toyota particularly is far behind. The only EVs they have in the market are actually made by BYD. These are Toyota in name only. It's a BYD with a Toyota sticker slapped on. Reason: until they replaced their CEO recently, they were stubbornly pursuing things like hybrids and hydrogen cars and miscalculating how long they had to make that work. EVs priced around 20-30K$ are going to be a big problem for Toyota. Most of their remaining ICE market is at or above that price point and EVs with lower cost of ownership and a lower price tag can do some serious damage to that market. That's why they are partnering with BYD while they are figuring that out.
> It must be something more.

Yes, it must be an actual tech to run ML workloads inside the Postgres instance, where all the data is readily available.
> Think about what that means for the future of all auto mechanics. Will there be far fewer?

Definitely. This is one of the reasons why dealerships are reluctant with EVs: apparently a big chunk of their profits come from servicing the cars they sell.
I have owned a troublesome 2010 BMW for 8 years now. No individual repair has been over $2,700.00. Most are closer to $1,500. I was quoted (by a dealer) $15,000.00 for engine repair once but it turned out to be a spark plug. $9,000.00 sounds like a dealer quote. Find a good independent shop.
P != NP is more likely akin to a fundamental mathematical law, like Noethers theorem [0]. No amount of self improving AI will alter the fundamental laws of physics. More provincially, in our solar system, there's a cap on energy so that any system that uses it will eventually hit a ceiling (like a self improving AI that eats up energy resources at an exponential pace).

As motivation for why P != NP, one can think of it as a finite restatement of the Halting Problem [1] in the form of asking whether a (polynomially sized) Turing machine has an input that will halt in K steps.

As far as I know the US backed the French and took over immediately as soon as they were kicked out. Though Korea and Japan were analogous, even though the US didn't actually support the Japanese occupation, it continued it.

I imagine the Koreans welcomed the US, that would be an important factor.
We were complacent while it happened because OpenAI wasn't a business, it wasn't seen as unethical to use community work to contribute to community research. Now they're entrenched and pulled the rug out from the community, whilst also trying to shut the door on anyone else.

Just a really disappointing series of events, the money and profit were never the big issue.
Are any of these reasons substantial here?

This is a clear eyed, smart move by Ford. Gives a good impression of their trajectory.

For Tesla: other automaker will convert to NACS, rendering existing CCS chargers a relic of the past, leaving alternative charging networks in the dust and requiring massive retooling to come back. This positions Tesla as an energy provider like Shell/Chevron.

Eventually I bet they'll be forced to split out the auto manufacturer from the energy vendor to avoid antitrust problems, but that will be in a while.
Own a Hyundai Ioniq. The whole fast charging thing is cool but you also need to find a charger that can do it, reliably. Things are getting better on that front but it’s not quite as good as the Supercharger network yet.

I test drove a Polestar 2, what are these car designers thinking with rear view visibility!

The between the rear headrests and huge slanted C-pillars you had a tiny sheet of paper sized opening to see out. I honestly thought the mirrors were adjusted wrong and were looking at the roof. Couple that with a half-baked 360 reversing camera that turned every obstacle into a trapezoidal blur, reversing parking that car between two other cars at the end of the drive was terrifying experience.

Nice car though.
It's easy to say "it's hardly surprising" now, but if you'd predicted this 4 or 5 years ago, plenty of people would have been surprised.
Eminent domain is well established; the court is unlikely to ever overturn this no matter the make up, and they probably shouldn’t as that’s a political question.

That said, the facts of this case didn’t support taking this any further than they did. The woman in question had practically abandoned the property, ignored all the notices, and had ample opportunity to try and pay what she owed (which was not originally $15K).

She took exception only after the County profited from the Sale. I mean, honestly it wasn’t a favorable case for her but for the fact the Court wanted an opportunity to address this specific moral hazard.
I wonder what is the target audience of articles like this. I think the article is well-written, however 90-95% of the terminology make little or no sense to me who is not proficient in this field. Would the article be useful for someone who _is_ proficient in the field?

More of an Angular fan though I haven't used post 1.x much.
but Toyota sells more cars in a year than Tesla has in the past decade? And no, if they made an EV it probably wouldn't be selling like hotcakes, because an EV is largely an irrational choice for most people (looking at you, guys chilling in your cars on top of the Target in Laurel Heights in SF, waiting for that 80% in 30 minutes) and Toyota isn't good at making something super desirable. All that aside, most workhorses running around today, shuttling passengers and food delivery seem to be old, clapped out Priuses. Can't argue with 45mpg and ultra low running costs, barring the occasional stolen catalytic converter.
Ask HN: Why Claude Shannon didn't get a Turing award?
I was looking through the list of Turing award winners and realised that Claude Shannon, the inventor of Information theory didn't receive one?

Why was this so? Is it compulsory that a Turing award recipients has to be part of the ACM? And he probably wasn't a member?
This is a good line of thinking for making LLMs more powerful. I'm confused what I'm seeing though, can I not inspect the internals of what it's doing inside each task? And why does it take so long? Is it doing tons of GPT queries for each task?

It's advantage for Toyota. They really should pushed PHEVs earlier like 2015, before Tesla M3 was sold.
PAM predates pidfd by about 25 years or so, though it's really weird how steadfastly unix heritage systems avoided handles for important things, resulting in race conditions and security issues all over the place.
Question: Does X support Y ?

Real solution: Yes, No, Not yet,...
German here. Cars are one hallmark of our economy. We are behind as well. The Chinese are absolutely crushing it in Asia and Middle East now.

Volkswagen had a market share of ICE cars of ~20%, for EVs it's now closer to 1%. EVs are way easier to build and a lot of Chinese companies are doing it successfully. They are offering cheaper EVs. They are selling in Mideast/Asia and now start to enter Europe as well.

None of these cars is particularly bad - while I'd still take the Korean EVs before anything else today, the Chinese are coming. German manufacturers only produce premium level cars few people can afford and they produce them badly. ID.3 is too expensive for its segment and too much of the car just doesnt work well.

I found this very interesting! I really, really hope for a "return to form" some day with the internet, even though I know deep down things will never quite be the same. I used to be involved with community forums both as a user and moderator/admin and I hope we can find a way to make that work again; it was far from perfect, but I can think of hardly anything about it I don't prefer to the status quo with conversation on social media.

> Google introduced a system capable both of scaling and resisting attack (significantly, resistant to a greater degree than Advogato's trust metric). A modified PageRank algorithm could take into account the positive and negative links between users, establishing overall assessments of users useful for distinguishing malicious users from normal users and for dispensing selective incentives to users producing valued contributions.

Well, this aged... interestingly. I'm not sure if PageRank holds up anymore, and either way, Google search is rapidly falling into disrepair. It seems the attacks have caught up.
> These included a MySQL database, where adding an index is no additional maintenance overhead whatsoever (FULLTEXT idx in the table DDL)

MySQL didn't add support for FULLTEXT until v5.6, released 2013-02, a few years after I was working on this. At the time if I had wanted a full text search index it would have needed to be an additional service.

This is such a silly criticism, of course Tesla's share of the "EV Car" market is going to shrink as more companies sell EV cars. DUH! But that is a silly way to view things, Toyota was never compared on their share of the "Hybrid Car Market", because that is not a real thing, just as the "EV Car" market isn't really a thing, people buy cars and to the extent they cross shop they generally do so across drive trains.

Tesla's share of the overall Automotive market is growing and that is what matters.

The Model S is a tiny and irrelevant portion of Tesla's sales.

Don't aim for the perfect/absolute solution. Sometimes a solution that solves a chunk of the problem (big or small) is just enough. Try to break the problem down, see where you can start, where you are going to need help and what will be for later.
Boxy, Your New AI Coding Assistant
end-start is the length - I didn't think given the context I needed to be that precise. The important thing is that the ABI for an array does not match C's because it has additional data that C doesn't provide, so can't interoperate with C.

"C can get new types" isn't a solution to the problem, this RFC does add such (indexable and bidi_indexable), but that does nothing to help existing code.

If a solution to bounds checking in C means you can't recompile an existing library with bounds safety, without breaking existing users of those libraries it's insufficient, because it means that it can't be used for the huge amount of existing C. If a project is new then it can just use a safe language in the first place.
Well... sure, but if you're really pushing the admixture hypothesis you'd necessarily need to assume that the species that lived in a more densely populated group was likely less individualistic. Add the Neanderthals' survival in sub-zero temps and you can easily claim that the Neanderthals weren't just "a little smarter" than the homo sapiens, they were likely doing 2 or 3 SDs on them, easily. Plus, them being acclimated to the cold would give them much better, not worse, eyesight, because they'd have to cross large distances and actually be able to make out things in the ice, and would also need good peripheral vision for protection from really bright light. "ruinous birth rate" doesn't really make sense... unless you compare the population of the neanderthals to that of the sapiens. By all accounts, the neanderthals lived in small groups, often not even over 30 individuals. They also likely had a very varied diet, or at least a very rich diet, because you can't be expected to be dumb and undernourished if you're eking out centuries in a cave because the weather outside is cold enough to freeze your bones.

As for the last paragraph... agreed. Even the most skillful warriors can be overtaken by a huge wave. Nothing to fight.

Sometimes we have actually thoroughly explored our problem space and know what we need to do, just not how to do it! But someone else seems to think they're going to get Cleverness Points by uselessly derailing the discussion.
