That is a terrible analogy because the information is inherently captured and you are talking about taking extraordinary measures to destroy evidence. It's also a failed conversational gambit because we end up discussing the bad analogy instead of the underlying issue.

Why is charging during a delivery a no go? Charging during loading would be the most reasonable solution, the truck will be stationary for 30-60 minutes or more anyway.

The battery life issue is mostly offset by lower operating costs: electricity is a lot cheaper than diesel / 100km and electric motors are pretty much maintenance free
People will shame dog owners who allow their dogs to pee or poop on chargers. Which won't completely eliminate the problem, but should limit it.

That’s some kind of meta-lying, too. By cherrypicking, you are implicitly saying, “these are the issues of our times, why would I else present this important issue”
Heroku is great until you need to do something non-standard in your deployment, like compile node and configure a python virtualenv in the same deploy. Then you have to learn their Buildpack framework and that is a nightmare. It's a hugely complicated abstraction layer that, like one of the parent comments says, requires me to learn 200%. I have to learn all the steps to install/configure nodejs, then python, then how they decided to slap together a layer on top of it that made assumptions like you would only be doing one of these things.
Sure !

You understand that not all people lives in denmark
Here, in France, we have 12 times more people than denmark, the highest point is a bit higher than 171 meters and there is a lot of land not really close to the sea

I studied civil engineering, with a focus on structural, but a heavy geotechnical element and some pavement design and rail desing.

Highways are cheaper and easier because they're usually less investment and planning at once. They have their own downsides, don't get me wrong, but no. Rail is long term, lots of property seizure, usually a single track across a vast distance, etc.

Rail makes sense for a lot of places, but for a country as large as America, it's hard to see the benefits as fast as highways and we need logistics to switch to electric quickly.

That said, to make highways more efficient more places should take a page off of the 407 in Ontario, Canada. The fluctuating pricing keeps the roads in high usage most of the time and it stops tragedy of the commons issues with sinks (the cities that highways dump their vehicles to) and keeps highway economic pricing honest against things like rail and sea.
Tesla Is Changing How Men Are Jerks Behind the Wheel
Marriage and family and community are historically preventative of the types of exploitative individuals and groups you talk about.

In your model the causation is that profiteers caused the breakdown of marriage but we shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.

It's also plausible that the decline of marriage caused the preponderance of profiteers.

Indeed given the modern day 'profit above all else mentality' that seems to pervade many businesses thoughts these days, and the length of history of marriage, I'd say the latter is more likely.

As for dual income. I'm sorry I simply don't believe it. In my conservative Catholic circle in a high cost of living area, I'm seeing many families with almost a dozen kids where only dad is working (my wife and I included). Dad is not even a software engineer making high six figures. In many families the father's are totally normal incomes and we have a fair share of people making below average. Two incomes is a choice. There is no difference in average income between the two groups yet one has different values. One difference is the mother's are very productive amongst themselves getting things done economically.
My comment was a very specific answer to the line:

If anything, take it up with parent comment, someone who believes non-white people are incapable of running large companies in Europe.

The BBC does have a project to digitise the archives, partly because you just can’t get the players anymore for obsolete formats like D3 (…which most of the old analogue 2” quad library was transferred to when that became obsolete).

Although just having a digitised archive doesn’t mean it can all be made public ally available, there are lots of rights issues and so on (writers and actors will want to be paid etc.) that prevent mass access to the archive.
reminds me of a general pattern I've observed in life:

1. whatever interface you expose to the public, some will abuse it

2. rules/laws/countermeasures are then added and enforced, often universally (though sometimes inconsistently)

3. which then bites, annoys, insults or otherise burdens or adds to the prices paid by ALL the OTHER non-abusing users pf that same interface

always. eventually. every time
> constexpr isn't a guarantee of it being evaluated at compile time

constexpr is a guarantee that you can use the thing in a constexpr context, and this is where the "evaluated at compile-time" guarantee can come from:

template<typename T>
auto func() {
// here some compilers can still choose to evaluate x at run-time - and very likely all of them if no optimizations are enabled
constexpr int x = f();

// but here it becomes mandatory for this use of x to be evaluated at compile-time, since the number is literally going to be part of the compiled binary as part of the function name mangling
return std::integral_constant<int, x>{};
}
Indeed, there is a recurring pattern of targeted silent downvotes.
It is usually not true. Tesla drivers often live in cities with limited parking. They can afford more than one car sure, but perhaps their $1 million town home only has one parking spot. So they can only park one car.

And why have sucky acceleration ICE when you can have an EV instead? You have to choose, why not go with the better daily drive rather than the occasional long range driver? You can always rent if the trip doesn’t make sense in an EV.
I can't be the only one who is tired of seeing news media digging at Tesla constantly. No other car manufacture is treated the same way.
Show HN: LLM React Node App Template
Hey HN:

I built a simple React app with a Node server that you can use to connect to Open AI's large language model (LLM). I'm sharing a tutorial of how to build the LLM app with a React and Node javascript template.

Tutorial: https://blog.golivecosmos.com/build-an-llm-app-with-node-rea...

Github repo with project template: https://github.com/golivecosmos/llm-react-node-app-template

Hope you find it useful!
There are two things you can look at:

1. The consequences of global warming

You could ask people how much they’d pay to keep chocolate or coffee, bananas, pineapples, or mangoes. Most of Florida’s coastline, about half of California. There are things that specialists disagree about, but all have no doubt that all those crops will not be cultivated (outside) if we stay the course. Florida and California are now seeing insurance companies bailing out, so we are moving from scientific certainty to economic reality.

Naturally, there’s more: most people think that Cajou nuts, açai berries, passion fruits, agave, prickly pears, should be on this list (because of temperature) but if we start looking at that, then people think pollinator collapse or opportunist infection are going to be there first… So I tried to make a conservative list.

Typically the answer to the question “What would you pay to keep those (chocolate, coffee, etc.)?” is that whatever cost to save those things is worth it. You can try to find numbers, but the US famously started wars to end democracies in several countries to grow just bananas (that gave us “Banana Republic”), so we are closer to amounts where it’s less money measured in many billions and more state-sponsored violence.

All that long rant to say: whatever is the cost of not destroying those, that is the “true” cost.

2. The cost of CO2 extraction and storage

With current rock-bottom electricity prices in Iceland, ClimateWorks research facility can extract CO2 for a bit more than $3,000 per ton (depending on accounting for research costs; that number is just OpEx IIRC).

To convert that to the cost of transporting goods, you can apply a ratio of 50 grams of CO2 per tonne-kilometer [1]. A 40-ton truck will have to pay $600 to compensate for every 100 km.

That sounds like a lot, even without considering the cost of storage.

ClimateWorks hope to lower the price by an order of magnitude [0], which specialists think is unlikely. In truth, much cheaper electricity makes electric trucks that much more appealing. You will never save any money by burning fuel and then spending energy trying to re-capture that CO2 at low concentrations. It’s engineering nonsense. A better idea would be to have trucks carry a balloon with their emissions and that’s obviously a clownish idea. All that, again, before we even have a scalable solution for storage. A cousin works on that project for Statoil. Sure it might work (with the right salt cave) but it’s nowhere ready to scale to handle emissions from trucks all over the world.

So we will never be even close to making ICE trucks a sound idea if we consider the environmental impact.

This is regional dependent. The last time I looked in Colorado, and electric vehicle is actually spews more pollution when running than a gas car b/c of the amount of coal power plants that we run - much to the chagrine of all the Boulderites in their Teslas.
What deserves our attention is a deep question that is important personally and societally.

I believe that it can help to use the global ethics "capabilities approach" by Martha Nussbaum:

https://iep.utm.edu/ge-capab/
Battery swapping is one of those ideas that sounds good but has enough disadvantages that it's rarely worth it.

- Your vehicle design will be less efficient and more expensive than one without the constraint of an easily-removable battery.

- Just like with phones, removable batteries mean that you have more ingresses for water and dirt, hurting reliability.

- You have to standardize on battery sizes and interfaces. If some new battery technology comes along, or you want to change the chassis (to improve crash safety, for example) you'll have to create a new standard.

- In modern EVs, batteries have liquid coolant pumped through them. This lets the vehicle keep the battery at optimal temperatures for charging, discharging, and avoiding degradation in hot climates. Swapping batteries means coming up with another solution for controlling battery temperatures.

- In addition to specially-designed cars and batteries, you also need specially designed swapping stations. Again if you ever change the standards, you'll have to upgrade these stations.

All of these issues mean that battery swapping drastically increases cost and complexity for little benefit. A swap will take five minutes, while charging to 80% can take as little as 15 minutes. There's also the issue that batteries are valuable, and the owner of the vehicle probably wants their original battery back (or at least one without more wear & tear). Then you get into issues of compensating or charging people thousands of dollars depending on their new battery's degradation level. It's much simpler to give up on swapping and focus on improving charging speeds, which is exactly what Tesla did.
> I take an authentic image with a camera, crop out the part of it that it's not aligned with my goals

If it is cropped, then it would not be provably authentic. So anyone seeing it, could see that it is modified.

> how do you solve the problem of a powerful entity telling you that the cropped image is authentic

Well, because you can check. You verify the image yourself, see that it is not authenticated, and then you know.
I think you’re right. I’d just love better data. I used to do the typical Silicon Valley commute and arrive at work unable to focus for an hour or two because mode switching so quickly know it’s a thing. What I wonder about is why is it more of a thing in some situations compared to others, and is it not a thing we want to make students practice doing.

What Drives Optimal Overhead?
I don't have access to the article, but this could end up as pretty important. The reason is that South Korea is strongly connected to its largest Chaebol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol) Samsung, which is the second most capable chip maker in the world after TSMC in Taiwan. They have so many resources. If they wanted to do it, they could pool resources across their divisions, train a massive AI better than GPT-4, and then distribute its benefits back across their divisions including their online platform Naver.
If we consider this to be true, then this is a reprehensible act.
To prevent this, it is necessary to have a completed legislation for AI (Artificial Intelligence)
I think I'm arguing that we should look at the long tail of power source/generation of both diesel and electric vehicles.

The problem may be that "both aren't perfectly great" and maybe the best solution, despite Capitalism, is to use less as one of the only ways to well: save ourselves from destroying the Planet.
Oh come on.

This supposed 'advantage' (ongoing myth like the one about their battery tech - hint: for years Tesls bought from Pana and for a while now also massively from CATL) is adversely played out on the shoulders of unsuspecting traffic participants that didn't sign up for this shitshow (firetruck operators, police officers, motorcycle riders, home owners, etc. etc.)

Also Tesla openly stated to the CA DMV they operate FSD only on L2 (1), whileas recently MB was certified for L3 (2).

I wouldn't even call Tesla's clusterfuck L2-capable. Just research number of disengaments per mile - and not as Tesla reports it, nothing published by Tesla is trustable. Also i could just refer to videos published by Musk cronies Gfilche and WholeMarsBlog that show massive decision errors by FSD over multiple, even recent revisions. Btw just (3)...

Everything Tesla publishes or their cult members believe can be debunked. But why should i put up that effort here for others if those do just easily digest stories from the cult?

EDIT: If you dont trust stuff published by Musk+Tesla opponents, then at least check out (4) he also now and then analyzes FSD crashes using Tesla recorded data.

And you can all downvote me as you please, don't care. I am observing and studying this irresponsible heap of a tech company already 5 years next month.

> Weird then that scientific computing languages prefer 1 based arrays.

Not really when the code is routinely transcribed from papers, and the ages-old convention throughout mathematics is one-based indexing, both bounds of the interval included. (With the notable exception of Euler’s beta and gamma functions.) Of course, in a paper intended for a human reader the occasional off-by-one error is much less dire than in code, so the author is freer to use a more error-prone convention.

I once had to translate from a one-based paper to zero-based Python code (with the added bonus of different discrete Fourier conventions *shudder*), and it’s remarkably annoying even if the resulting code is more obviously correct than the paper’s original formulas.
There are still active trolley bus routes that use overhead lines (Seattle, San Francisco, Lausanne, even Beijing has a trolly bus route).

But we can’t even electrify our rail routes. I doubt we would electrify I5. Although, trucks aren’t trains where diesel turbine electricity generation makes sense.
Maybe because no other car manufacturer is managed the same way.
If you put your creation out in the world to be consumed, it will be consumed.
I find (1) obvious (if brains exist, huge digital brains must be able to exist), but the real question is whether the arrival of superintelligent AI is an actual risk or not. Alien invasion is also possible, but I'm not terribly worried about it.

As far as (3) is concerned, of course we have no idea how to align AGI. We don't know anything about AGI. We can't build it, and we can't even speculate very well about how it'd be built. LLMs certainly aren't going to become AGI.

I'll become worried about (2) and (3) when creating AGI begins to at least look feasible. By then, I expect (3) to be much less true. I think it's pretty silly to speculate about safety features for a tool that doesn't exist & which we know nothing about and then panic because you can't come up with any good ones.
When you say engine performance, does that factor in drop in battery capacity? I know diesels also have problems running (and getting up and running) cold.

Yes, there's only about 500 numbers per legal gender per day. There are overflows on certain dates and so some people get assigned a number with a slightly wrong birthdate.

As inconvenient as this is for those individuals, it'd be a lot of work for society at large to move to a new system, so it's probably never going to happen.

With AI everyone now can be a lawyer too:

Generative AI cannot tell the difference between fact and fiction.

Just because it can generate code does not mean the code will work (error-free) or be safe (vulnerability-free) or not be under copyright by someone else.

Children who are 11 and 12 years old are physically capable of driving cars. Giving them keys and vehicles does not make them competent racecar drivers and the results could be quite bad.

Similarly, giving people a way to generate code does not make them programmers and, depending on the application, it might be very bad.
I talked about this several years ago[1], but I strongly believe that we, as a profession, don't invest nearly enough into thinking through all the possible consequences of the things that we design. It's easy to write off that what you're doing "doesn't matter" or "can't hurt", but the world is far too interconnected for us to be so nonchalant about our work.

I don't think "I would have gone about the topic differently, but you’re doing fine" is a growth opportunity. It just has something of an ambiguously negative vibe without actually saying what it's about, while also kind of saying something superficially positive without making it easy to tell if it's genuine. That kind of ambivalence can be mentally disorienting.

Also, if you're consistently not on the same page with someone, or are even consistently in bad terms with them, you tend to keep some distance at least emotionally.

If you are, on the other hand, (mostly) consistently on good terms with someone and end up being closer, most of the interaction is probably going to be positive -- even if that sometimes includes constructive criticism. (Good constructive criticism is probably not really ambivalent either; there might be clear good and clear bad things, with an overall feeling of both people having the other's best interest in mind.)

Either way, you know what to expect: you can protect yourself from negativity by keeping your distance, or you can expect mostly positive experiences with someone who you let closer.

Inconsistently positive and negative means you don't know whether to keep your guard up or down.
I think you can't do that, because the underscore may start a user defined literal suffix.

> When I have talked to people about advertising in general, I've found that they just don't care.

Perhaps rephrasing "do you care about watching ads" to "do you care how much time you spend on social media". I am sure people see little value in visual pollution, specially when you can tune most of it out using ad blockers. I am less sure people don't care about having more time to do things that make them actually happy.
I don't know about all that. I meticulously follow rules laid forth for pedestrians and it's gender neutral in regards to close calls. I think women edge out men in terms of distracted driving from what I've seen however. Generally phone use but my favorite:

What a weird metric to have, "videos on youtube of X". Has it occurred to you that more people post videos on youtube because they're influencers or just regular attention seekers cashing in for views because Tesla is overhyped and is the kind of thing that generates traction on social media?

Maybe Mercedes owners, or those of any other brand, buy their car to drive it first, not show it off on youtube.

For my next job, I'll work only at the company with the most videos on TikTok.
