I listed the sequence of ideas I think leads to that conclusion, and the best you could muster is an unsubstantiated "you're wrong"?

Imagine if every hacker news response was just a verbose "you're wrong." What low quality discourse.

If voting has been ritualized and is not very meaningful, where does power come from? If wages are determined by the relative power difference between labor and management, how is a laborer supposed to increase their wages? Would you expect labors wages to increase without an increase of power first? What if labors power goes to near zero? If we wanted to stop gerrymandering, where does that power come from? If we wanted to stop Pelosi from trading, how do we do that? If we wanted to bring back the per-Reagan tax rates, how do we do that?

It is about power.

We can't get a government that represents us because we do not have power. Corruption in our government represents a lack of the public's power at large.

We can't have public works because those works benefit the public at the cost of business. The government represents businesses because they have more power than the public. Businesses literally vote on candidates with money before the public at large votes. That's not a fringe idea. That is literally presented by Harvard Law professor and tech darling Lawrence Lessig.

So you think it's a non sequitur because you haven't asked the question "where does public power come from?" "How does a relatively powerless person exercise political force"? "What happens if voting is more of a ritual than a meaningful choice?"

Clearly it is a "sequitur".
According to the engineer who leaked that ssh thing (which was years ago) they were live patching and pushing updates to the cars over ssh. It was essentially full root. That said this was also super early in the company history, so this might have been for the roadsters more than the actual commercial cars.

It's a specialized data structure that the whole Lua ecosystem drives you to use as your primary collection type. They're blessed by the language, every library function will use will take and return them, and your deserializer will produce them, whether you like it or not.

Ultimately, you can use different data structures in Lua... but you'll have to write reams of boilerplate to do it. That's why I'm saying that (unfortunately) it's Lua itself that's a bad fit, not just tables.

I wish I had the source, but one view of being in the dominant position in a relationship is that "one gets things done or their needs met, but 'moves' the least." A baby is an example they gave. It just lies there, but everyone around it tends to its needs unconditionally. It is in tyrannical control of the relationship.

In the case of Tesla vehicles, the human driver sits (or lies) there and his transportation needs are met. The auto-pilot does all the work. The driver is still in control of the relationship, even if the chauffeur is software. The technology serves him; very much in contrast to the similarly "rugged, individualist" men who felt threatened by industrialization 200 years ago.
Story time! When I was a much more junior programmer I once received a call from a client, who asked me if I could double check the code sending the container weights from a container terminal to the ship planning system. She explained a captain of one of the ships had called the planners and remarked he was both deeper in the water and tilted quite a bit more than he anticipated.

So I do my research, and it turns out we were sending weights including the metal of the container itself from the one system, but interpreting them as net weights, so excluding container weight itself. So we were off by about 3000kg per container, which is bad enough if the container is 25000kg total, but even worse when transporting empties, where we were off by 100%.

Thank goodness it is drilled into captains that there are strict limits when it comes to stability, and I have never met a captain who will depart if they are not absolutely positive about the stability of their ship, but man I have spent a good few nights lying awake thinking about what could have happened.

I thought I was just working on some boring logistics software at the time, where the worst that could happen was losing a container for a day or so. It was a rude awakening.
Just because a treatment works doesn't mean it's the best treatment, or is treating the "cause." To say that a lack of fluoride is the cause of their bad teeth is silly. Not eating sugar/acidic foods, Novamin, or a different set of bacteria in her mouth would also improve her teeth.
Looks like their current electric vehicles use CCS; I'd imagine the future ones would probably have _both_, or some sort of adaptor.

On what basis have you evaluated that it "helps a lot more"? What if your method doesn't lead to more people actively brushing their teeth, thus reducing the amount of people with properly protected teeth (since they are also missing fluoride now), increasing amount of dental healthcare required?

You weren't wrong. Prior to going public, Uber relied on VC money to make the unit economics work. The unit economics now work (Uber doesn't lose money on every ride) but Uber is still losing money.

It's also not true to say that Uber's loss is due solely to R&D, since R&D only represents $1 billion in expenses, per Uber's 2022 annual report and their Q1 financials. Uber would still be unprofitable even if it did no R&D, since it has very large G&A, marketing costs, and CORS (cost of revenue).

I am playing a role that any well functioning journalist should play. Question the government and point out any wrong doings. Isn't is a core aspect of democracy? Do you see anything wrong in that?

>> All indian political parties are low quality trash in their own ways.
Agree. But the one having power currently is the focus. Be it any party.
Really? You don't see how it might be healthier if someone arbitrarily making more money because other industries are undervalued doesn't force their partner to share half the expenses while they live comfortably? If my partner is making 2k a month and has to pay half their income for our rent, that seems way more stressful to them than the potential "balance of power" if I chip in more (because I can?).

You're thinking a little too hard about it, and it comes off like this nickel and diming is gonna kill a relationship more than the financial asymmetry itself. We've talked through expectations through the relationship and what happens if we break up, and we're both happy. You have so many question marks I don't know what's rhetorical or what isn't, but no, she's not gonna be homeless if we break up because she has a career.

> you are valuing her to some amount you made up (together?)

We just pay for rent and shared expenses proportionally to our income. We don't monitor it super closely, rent is always your biggest expense, so it's not a big deal if I pay for dinner once or she does.

And to say my relationship is unhealthy because of this really shows your world view. Maybe a relationship is all about money to you, but we value each other for reasons beyond that.
> The quality of the automobile is BECAUSE we make millions of the same car over and over again.

I guess that explains why things like modern refrigerators are so much more reliable and durable than the ones that were made 20 years ago. /s

By that reckoning, modern cars should be just about perfect, modulo certain modern expectations like not emitting greenhouse gases?
I build a system that scraped GitHub. Even though GitHub can clearly handle lots of traffic I still rate limited the hell out of it. The only time I've ever seen scrapers get banned is when go super fast. Unless it's LinkedIn and Instagram who guard their product aka data as much as possible.

> as a meta point.

I mean, it's a stretch. I could use that stretching metaphor as an excuse to talk about taffy for 4 paragraphs, but it doesn't contribute anything meaningful to the conversation. Scrounging up discussion about Web3 on an Indian government exposé is off-topic, and readers will flag it. It's equally substantial as those "this is good for Bitcoin" posts that get flagged under every article about a government treasury.

> the topic is literally about how to authenticate things when you have an opposing central authority.

If so, his flagged post didn't reflect it. It was a vapid comment that made no attempt to reconcile either topic.

> his point was about how unpopular opinions are being proved correct

If you want to argue that the Blockchain could have prevented this from happening, then by all means - write that comment. But that's not what his flagged post was. It detracted from the conversation and quite literally read as flamebait.

> if you were downvoting/disagreeing with opinions about how AI is going to make it hard to authenticate information online, then you were wrong

Spoilers: it has been hard to authenticate information online for as long as the internet has been around. In fact, the most significant events are corroborated with real life occurrences that challenge these lies. These women can attest that they did not do this in the photo. If government officials insist that the version with them smiling is the true master copy, then you're the fool for believing them.

I'm baffled that this is even being used as a platform to discuss Web3, a collection of technologies mostly reputed for... being manipulated and exploited by bad actors that cannot be incentivized to stop.
It gives you a lot of freedom and doesn't force many rules like other non-dynamic languages do. This makes it great for trying out ideas and working with data and machine learning. However, when you're writing more complex programs, you need to be more careful. That's why I feel like I encounter more bugs during runtime compared to other languages. I mentioned Go because it makes you stick to a smaller number of ways to do things, which feels more "pythonic".
Mondragon is absolutely a for-profit, money-motiviated firm. It doesn't do things for free. The difference is that the shareholders are the employees rather than investors.

There is nothing illegal about starting a co-op, but in practice they are quite difficult because of the capital needed up front to start a business. That is to say, it's much easier to ask a VC for $5 million in series A funding than it is for the 10 devs running the thing to put up $500,000 each of their own money.
Not put them in plain-text :shrug:

I wrote a small utility to do this (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@qnzl/lockbox) and it behaves similar to `pass` by using gpg encryption. I wrote it because I was doing a lot of programming streaming and I kept exposing secrets.

So rather than having a .profile that is:

GITHUB_TOKEN="steal this"

It's

GITHUB_TOKEN=$(lockbox product/dev/githubToken)

Then you `source` it and your secrets are in your environment without putting them into plain-text.
I'm curious: if you have a forwarded port on your vpn that anyone can send traffic to, assuming that someone can observe the encrypted traffic going out of the vpn provider, couldn't they send various traffic "shape" to the port and try to find the same pattern in the encrypted traffic to figure out who you are?

Then why aren't you pushing the "grow your own food" mantra rather than the "get rid of fossil fuels" mantra. We wouldn't need such volumes of liquid fuels if not for industrial agriculture and transportation of food. That seems like much lower hanging fruit than eliminating fossil fuels.
This one sums it up pretty good, though I'm not very fond of the sites sensationalism sometimes.

It’s not just attention. It’s time in general that people have no respect for; their own time, and the time of others.

In a way this is not new, you can read Seneca complaining about this in his essay On the Shortness of Life:

“Men do not allow anyone to take possession of their estates, and, if there is the slightest dispute about the limit of their property, they rush to pick up stones and weapons: but they allow others to make inroads into their life, even extending personal invitations to those who will one day possess it.
No one is found who would be willing to divide up his own money: but when it comes to his life, each one of us gives others a share in it, and how many others!

…How many have plundered your life without you realising what you were losing?…You live as though you were going to live forever.”
You can put shell file redirections such as "< file" at the beginning of the line.

Either way, that makes me think, maybe the code is still there? Oops I'm not rich enough to afford a Tesla anyway.
Worked at a fully-remote company that was like that. Anything barely controversial was moved to Zoom for fear of recording incriminating data (which could used by authorities but also by CEO in regular witch hunt). We weren't discussing anything illegal but it had the side effect of discouraging any disagreements in writing.
More EV chargers is a good idea, but having to bend down so far looks uncomfortable and may even be a problem for some people.

Has shades of the OCaml/StandardML "let ... " scope:

Solar power is solar power. I don't care if it's a bunch of mirrors pointed at molten salt, or if it's from a silicon panel. What I only really care about is efficacy, efficiency, and power numbers.

What's the usecase that makes it so important for you out of interest?
You're thinking about EVs like you do ICE. Charging stations are the exception, not the rule. EV owners generally charge at home and therefore don't need DC fast chargers close to home.

My partner has been driving from San Diego to Santa Barbara or LA several times this year for site visits. There might be a Supercharger stop if we forgot to set the car to charge to 100% the night before. Otherwise my partner can make the trip and just plug-in at home.

We drove out to the desert for an overnight camping trip and made it home without having to stop and charge. I realized when we were out there that our campsite had an RV outlet and I could have brought our travel charger and gotten free L2 charging all weekend.

Road trips are the only time we use Superchargers. According the Tesla App it's 4% of the time.

It's probably different from place to place, but in my city mobile food trucks can operate on any non-residential private property with no additional permitting requirements and can operate on public streets with a permit for up to two weeks. Presumably private property can figure out their own power infrastructure and the 2-week limit on public streets would seem too short of a time for installing power to make sense.

Once worked with someone like that too. And he was terrible at keeping to things agreed on such calls, and would in fact later claim that we'd agreed things which we had not.

I started following every call with a short email listing, for the avoidance of doubt, everything agreed in the call, with a note that if I've missed anything he should let me know ASAP, and explicitly mentioning anything that didn't have a satisfactory conclusion during the call. Never felt the need to CC in others, unless they were specifically relevant, though that would have been a further step if needed (if he claimed to have never seen an mail etc.).

No, they cannot. LLMs are LANGUAGE models, not KNOWLDEGE models. They do not "know" what algorithms mean any more than they know what everything else they "talk about" mean.
