Nobody is saying ads are just as bad as rape. At least what I’m saying is that the repeated “yes or not-now until you cave in” design anti pattern is bad for the same reason as other things that don’t respect consent are bad. Because consent is important.

Let me be clear, if you implement these as a dev, you are doing a bad thing. No it’s not as bad as rape. Is it comparable? Yes, because it’s bad for the same reason as rape is (violating consent), just obviously at a different magnitude.
I’ve found them incredibly useful when making widespread changes where it’s hard to predicts the effects - one example is upgrading dependencies.

We’ve been using a combination of playwright tests and Meticulous. Playwright tests for the areas where we want solid coverage and are willing to put in the effort. Meticulous for the areas where we want decent coverage but aren’t willing to spend the time writing tests.

This is reasonable. OTOH a really mass-produced car means that its production becomes optimized, quirks eventually fixed, rough edges polished, etc. With model Y, Tesla has a chance to polish the design and the production process and make the car reliable and of stable quality.

They of course can squander that chance, but they never had such a chance before at all, to my mind.
Mullvad Browser is also a really good candidate. The people behind it have a track record for fighting for user privacy unlike Mozilla which has a track record of doing the opposite.
Tesla is about to overtake BMW by car sales, not just EV

But you are quite right. Given Tesla's mission and recent discontinuation of X and S and in RHD markets it wouldn't be surprised if they eventually killed them altogether. Let the premium makers like BMW, MB, Lucid focus on a niche luxury markets; use Tesla's time to make cheaper EVs.

Finish making gecko reusable so people can use it instead of blink whenever someone wants to make a custom skin, or instead of electron for "desktop" apps. I grant that it's not immediately user-facing, but it would help give them the actual market share so that web devs have a reason to care about gecko.
Toyota's sports cars actually show pretty well at how adverse they are to making them.

The Supra has a BMW engine, a BMW gearbox and a BMW interior with a BMW infotainment system, while the Toyota 86 is a joint project between Toyota and Subaru, with a Subaru engine and built in Subaru's plant.
I think this is an old story ("2022" in URL, and I recall reading it then), it's strange that it is currently labeled as "Updated ... May 25, 2023".
This is goalpost-shifting from the title, which doesn’t limit the comparison to electric cars.
There are very different things being talked about here as if they are the same. The original comment I replied to gave this example:

> If corporations promise a feature, then fail to deliver, they should be held liable for false advertisement.

You will definitely find out if the promised feature was delivered or not.
You will be aware of the identity of the company that promised the feature.
You may absolutely evaluate whether you continue to purchase things from that company, based on their past performance.

This is well within the ability of consumers and they do it all the time, regardless of any laws about "false advertising" to which this may or may not apply.

As for whether consumers should be making their purchase decisions on completely unrelated data about "corporate misdeeds", such as how the company may or may not have behaved in a foreign country, a situation the consumer does indeed know little to nothing about. No, I don't think that basing purchasing decision on things like that is effective or useful, but people are of course welcome to use whatever factors they like.
Can you prove that? Because understanding ultimately is the ability to map to abstractions and GPT4 and other models are certifiably able to abstract.
I think there is some loss of understanding of how conquest and colonialism were the norms of the day. This is represented in who Japan was fighting

Japan took Korea from China, hence it being a Sino-Japanese war.

They took Indochina from the French.

Tesla was founded in 2003, Musk invested in 2004, Roadster unveiled in 2006 and entered production in 2008. October 2008, Musk took over as CEO of the 5 year old company which then went public in 2010. The model S entered production in 2012 and they discontinued the roadster.

So Tesla went public selling a product developed under the original CEO, and he took 5 years to get the next model our even after having a working EV. That said the Model S was a hit, but it was also the original founders goal to work down to more mainstream products.
Before Covid, one could buy Toyota vehicles 6% under MSRP. Today, Toyota dealers want $5K mark up fees, on top of MSRP, then all extra garbage, with 3 months wait time. If your family already owns an ICE vehicle, just buy Tesla Model Y as a second vehicle. These car companies and their dealers just try to screw customers with all hidden garbage.
Skimming the comments, I didn't see anyone specifically making the simple observation that the minimum distance corresponds to intuition.

Is arbitrarily choosing the average distance for the concept of "closeness" being pedantic, or just obtuse?
The BMW group sold 588,138 cars in 2023. Where is that a bloodbath?
For a browser that claims to be privacy focused, I would expect them to tightly contain the code in an external module that can easily be turned off.

I would absolutely expect them to pull the whole thing out.
They can't be put in jail, given the death penalty, vote, or be taxed at the same rate as "any other person"; to turn the question around, what makes you presume that this is one of the cases where they should be treated like a person and not one of the ones where they're not, when there are numerous examples of both?
I had my first two engines on my current car (2007, current engine 2013) replaced before finally having a reliable car (manufacturer paid for both replacements after noting there were defects and not anything I had done).

some times stuff is just borked up until a certain point and some of us get unlucky with the quicker to die versions.

sucks, but we need to look at the averages, not the outliers.

* editing to add that I would still recommend my car make and model, because it's just so damned awesome, but I would hate for others to go through what I went through.
LFP can have similar density since you don't need the same amount of protection in the pack. It's a system level win.

At this point I just wonder whether Firefox userbase will flee the browser in droves if someone will make its unmozilled tracking fork sustained by easily payable tips, that has all the BS disabled and uBlock + couple of other top 10 extensions like Stylus and Tampermonkey natively implemented in it, with a good unified UI and all, for added value.
Gorbachev himself is the source of my article, that is a primary source.

You are using a secondary source that talks about the primary source to try and discredit the primary source itself.

This doesn’t work and is entirely an underhanded method to try and present non factual information as true.

Once again the fact that Sachs does not know this from a primary source is worrying, what else is he entirely unaware of the reality around the situation?.
Maybe because BMW customers still prefer combustion engines.

The Chinese car market is full of brands that don't even try to sell their cars outside China. But it's noteworthy that Tesla is a top seller there as well, second only to local juggernaut BYD in EVs.

Pretty glib take.

The more exposure this stuff gets the better. I'd really like to have more job options out there that don't involve maintaining an internal web API so that two applications you own can talk to each other.

> I don't see people in the service industry picking up a used Tesla, now or in the foreseeable future.

Purchase price, you've already touched on. You can't even get a USED Tesla for under $20K.

The second problem is charging. Apartments generally have a lack of EV chargers.
You are missing the combustion engine models. There many people that still prefer them over EV.

BMW group sold 588,138 units in 2023 and most weren't EV.
Yeah. You're right. They probably crunched the numbers and determined all the pluses for them outweighed the exclusivity plus.

What do you call the War in Cyprus and the Civil War in Northern Ireland? Turkey and Greece are two separate countries involved in territorial war of Cyprus (sometimes considered Western Europe). UK and Ireland are also two separate countries definitely inside Western Europe. Algeria and Angola were an integral part of France and Portugal respectively, just like Lyon and Lisbon. To the European powers, these were wars inside western European countries.

I find your specification of "War" and "Western Europe" awfully convenient. For example USA had hegemony over both the UK and Argentina, yet the latter invaded a territory of the former, but you are still correct because the Falkland Island aren’t in Europe.

If history doesn’t fit your narrative, you can simply narrow the scope until it fits. This is the problem with grand historic theories, they always just fit, but only after being hammered to the "correct" shape.
Thanks (to both you and the parent) for sharing these details. So is it fair to say the following:

1. Fine-tuning bakes the knowledge into the model, but getting the "source" of an answer to a specific question becomes cagey and it is unclear if the answer is accurate or just a hallucination.

2. Therefore vector databases, which can provide context to the LLM before it answers, can solve this "citation" problem, BUT:

3. We then have limits because of the context window of the LLM to begin with.

Is that a fair understanding, or have I totally gotten this incorrect?

Edit: Or, are you saying that you both fine-tune AND also use a vector database which stores the embeddings of the dataset used to fine-tune the model?
If you're in the market, go for a couple of test drives. The competition is mostly regular ICE cars with a battery bolted on, while Teslas are designed from ground up as EVs and it shows throughout in ways big and small. We were originally leaning towards getting a Polestar, but the difference between driving one and a Tesla is night and day.

I was just augmenting your answer as I liked it! It was also sort of a response to my sibling responder as they didn't seem to get what you were saying.

Because they live in an alternate dimension with a peculiar market that's kinda bubbled off. China is also like a decade ahead in electrification.

All scooters in large cities have been electric for over a decade (its a weird time warp coming to taiwan and experiencing the stench of scooter on your morning commute)

They had a fully electric taxi service about 7 years ago. Inside the city medium size trucks (for delivering merchandise to stores) are all electric. They have tons of local brands that produce electric consumer cars

However the domestic market is ginormous and they only make weak attempts at going global. The international market is fragmentary and you can be arbitrarily extrajudicially curb stomped with tariffs or outright bands due to anti China hysteria
It won't matter as long as you are using regular `a` tags for links. You anyway don't want robots to submit forms and perform any actions that are meant for users.
>It seems pretty clear you are implying we will literally go extinct because of global warming. This is crazy.

It's implying that we are sending ourselves towards extinction, just as if you were sending yourself towards obesity by continually consuming 10,000 Calories per day. What is really crazy is that there are still climate change deniers that exist in this comments section.
It makes sense to me that good web developers would be multifunctual enough to implement a solution based on the complexity of the required design. React is conversely way too complicated for a lot of the stuff that's easy to do in HTMX, so you should be able to do both in my opinion.
"fits in ram" ok got it
This also could be true.

To be absolutely fair to both sides, we're in a rough transitory period due to intra-project politics. Some people have a better time on X11, some on Wayland, and its down to which distro they're on and how new (or old) it is.

Today, however, Gnome and KDE both have excellent Wayland support, even mostly okay on Nvidia binary drivers (but still, use the FOSS drivers if they work for you, or just stop buying Nvidia hardware until Nvidia stops trying to throw AMD and Intel's excellent FOSS work under the bus).
You're mixing up LFP (LiFePo4 aka Lithium Ferrum(Iron) Phosphate) with NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt). NMC are lighter and more firey.
We have a phrase to cut through this at work: "WAYRTTD".

Someone will post a question and immediately below it, clarify why they think that'll solve their problem. e.g:

> How do you assert that a jest mock was called?

> WAYRTTD: My test passes, but I'm not sure function X was called and I'm worried it's passing anyway.

It doesn’t have to be convoluted. Differing the diameter (or shape!) or depth of the fuel input would do just fine unless people were going to resort to carrying around funnels.
Mostly, you validate on the server and send html with error messages back.

If you really need client-side, yes, of course you have to script it. If hyperscript is not to your taste, you use a bit of js.
Maybe because the typical BMW customer prefers combustion engines. Look at the overall sales not just EV
I really think the main advantage of airships is the space - you can have "wide open spaces" because there's no real cost to lifting more "air".

I also think we need to seriously consider using hydrogen again, Hindenburg notwithstanding.

Iraq is a hard case to break down for me. In one sense, Iraq was ultimately successful: the goal of the war was to replace the Saddam regime with a democracy. 20 years later, Iraq is a democracy. I do have a problem with the WMD thing being used as a pretext though.

Also, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to blame the Iraq War for some European countries being all squishy towards Russia; they’d been doing that off and on since the Cold War.

I'm not a fan of adding functionality to hypertext attributes. I want an expected set of attributes to a component, not a new set of attributes that extend existing components. A lot of functionality can get obfuscated.
Hyperbole tends to push people away. I was quite active in climate causes about 20 years ago, in large part because I was young and felt that without imminent action the world would face catastrophic damage. This [1] article is just one countless of the time. It was reporting on a Pentagon climate report that the White House was trying to 'keep the public from seeing.' At the top, in bright yellow, the Guardian is reminding viewers that "This article is more than 19 years old." And the lede is "Britain will be 'Siberian' in less than 20 years."

Other claims include that "by 2020 'catastrophic' shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war.' It's further suggested that this will also come with "widespread crop failure, famine, disease, and mass migration of populations..." And that's just from "my" era. As you go further back, you will find similar reports. Here's [2] one I dug up from 1982: "Monstafa K. Tolba, executive director of the United States environmental program, told delegates that if the nations of the world continued their present policies, they would face by the turn of the century "an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust."

If I could go back 80 years into the past and try to optimize the world for climate action I would make sure that any and all predictions made appealed not to the drama of the high end outliers in order to try to spur on immediate action, but instead did the exact opposite and assumed the low end outliers - so that people would have decades of evidence of my predictions not only coming true, but being far greater in impact. At least in my case, you can thank hyperbolic messaging for the reason I've gone from 'active advocate' to 'meh, I'm somewhat more concerned about nuclear war tbh.'

The "new hotness" only matters if you're going to try and get a job as a FE dev in a large team. The "old hotness" still works, and likely has the more obscure bugs worked out of it.

And you can always just write the thing in JS without any hotness at all. The JS ecosystem's obsession with frameworks is a diversion. You really only need a framework if your site is super complex. And even then, if you're careful about how you write your JS, you may not need a framework (you'll end up creating your own, probably).

I'm with you that the JS ecosystem is a seething mess, but I don't think that's actually a problem unless you want a job as a FE dev. You can just ignore it ;)
Aren’t self-modifying programs a potential implementation of an infinite algorithm?
There’s always the running joke about people on SO claiming it’s a XY problem when it’s not. Alas, I encounter so many times when the OP did have an XY problem, the answers then solve the actual problem, but I never had an XY problem, have the problem in the title of the post (which no one solved or cared about), and leave without a solution. I wish moderators would adjust titles on SO questions that get updated to a different question.

And funnily enough, all threads for this submission have the complaint about the reverse XY problem at the top…
Not sure if this is obvious. But its incorrect to ditch on GPT-4. The paper uses self-instruct on GPT-4 to generate the training data on which it is fine-tuned. This paper would not exist without GPT-4. Although they claim GPT-4 can be replaced by any LLM, I'm sure the results would be nowhere as good, and so they stuck with GPT-4.

Docs can include pictures, even rudimentary ones made in the simplest drawing tools.

Programmers don't like writing docs because it's work, not fun like having code. In some companies that's "someone else's job" which is terrible.

When youre young you think you'll remember every line of code you ever wrote. (Spoiler alert, over a 40 year career you'll write a LOT of code).

Code is just code. Docs make the code usable. I get paid when the code is used (well, purchased) so my incentives were clear. Plus it makes customer support a Lot easier.
For Android, Firefox still only allows a small list of "recommend" add-ons. The developer workaround requires listing them in some online account.

htmx is another tool just like that, another goalpost in the frontend webdev world. It's just happens that the most recent hype is "don't write JS", but fundamnetally it's no different. Just another framework/library that has gotten some traction. In a few years we'll be back full cycle and it will be in vogue to write JS again, probably because htmx and associated projects have grown to complex.
Totally agree. I'd posit if chargers become a bigger profit center, Tesla will also have even more business justifications and capital to extend the network and improve it over time.
But it's a useless thought experiment. It neither informs nor enlightens. It's garbage in, garbage out.

Which only makes this even more remarkable. What's going to happen when the Tesla 2 comes out and sells for the same price as a Corolla?

Unless your documentation is 20~100x the size of your codebase and written in a conversational tone, the LLM won't be able to be asked any questions about it using English.

If your only aim is to use it like Copilot, sure, it's useful.
Out of curiosity, what did you prefer about the Tesla over the Polestar?
I'd still much more gladly prefer the Toyota.
