I think I saw an example where you said you use it to answer questions like 'How many curls did I do with these weights last time' [1]. That was from a couple of years ago, and I'm assuming you are the commenter there. If that's correct, do you have a way to make this system portable? I feel like the place I'm most likely to need to answer such questions would typically only have my phone available.

I greatly appreciate the data you're collecting and the overall method of doing so. However, I'm curious to learn about the portability of this information, and how you access it when you're away from a computer with vim.

Unfortunately, the TUNE format turned out to be a bit of an evolutionary dead end; the last generation of Speech Synthesis that supports it is the Alex voice which shipped in 2007, and it's highly unlikely in my opinion that we'll ever see it again — pinpoint control of synthesis and naturalness are inherently in tension, and the latter is a lot more valuable.

"They cheat or miscalculate, because the US "serving" system is an insane way to measure nutrients."

I'm not sure how many people who count calories use the "serving" system. Almost everyone I know, myself included, goes by weight of the food and calories.

Public companies are out for one thing, and one thing only.

Shareholder returns.

It has nothing to do with CEOs "already being rich", their job is literally to run the company properly so that the shareholders make more money.

Like it or not, that's how it is. Now, if this "crap" actually hurts the brand and the bottom line, they shouldn't implement it. If they are seeing more profits, and not many complaints, it's likely it will stay.

Moral faiure does not come into play.
Every other car except for the American models of Volvo and Tesla, from what I can tell.

That said, there are two CCS standards, one for (older) Japanese and American vehicles (SAE J1772), and another widely used in Europe (IEC 62196 Type). Both have been designed to be as backwards compatible with older charging standards as possible.

European Teslas ship with CCS Type 2 so I doubt this will have any impact on Volvos outside the USA.
I never have my mind set in the first place.

Their business plan is that they know they won't make every EV that is sold, but they will make money by charging many more than they sell.

The list of Manufacturers on board at this time: Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo (and presumably Polstar).

Hyundai and Stellantis are considering it. If they join, and it'd be silly not to at this point, that's about half the car market right there. Now it's just up to the German and Japanese automakers.
> My Canadian town of 70,000...It's already there so why are they switching?

It's estimated America will need around 2mm EV chargers by 2030; it currently has about 160k [1]. Every charger currently deployed is less than a tenth of what we need in seven years. That's not quite tabula rasa, but it's close.

CCS lost because it prioritized backward compatibility in an environment where most of what's needed must be built. The difference between sticking with existing infrastructure and retrofitting is, in the grand scheme, a rounding error and so properly ignored.

This would mean they are a nationwide power company with the ability to charge more kWH for reduced charging time. Add in solar panels,battery banks, and optimizing recharging with the local power company and it's printing cash at that point.

I think it's also that the EV market needs better charging stations, that are more reliable as the existing charging brands have a bad reputation. Tesla also needs charging stations to work for non-tesla vehicles or the trust in a EV would drop.
Can you cite a source that says "micro" means "single procedure per service"? Or did you pull it from thin air and you are going to argue that everybody else is wrong?
We have a similar setup: Terraform, and the repository is open to any eng to make pull requests against.

The problem we hit is knowledge: while Terraform is not a huge knowledge hurdle to mount … it is still apparently enough. While good engineers will have no problem picking TF up, … more mediocre ones seem to struggle with it¹.

We don't have a "reference", as things are still changing sufficiently that it isn't clear what a reference would be. (I know sometimes people have base VMs or similar, and write TF about that; we run on k8s, so the various teams essentially don't have to worry about the host VM at all — or at least, much.)

It all comes back to engineering quality, I fear.

¹with knowledge acquisition itself; TF is not particularly unique here. In fact, I'd argue skills in knowledge acquisition is what separates good engineers from not.
I think conversations like this are difficult because in an indirect way, we're asking people to quantify the tradeoff of a human life vs mass human inconvenience. If the feature caused false-positives at a 1000:1 rate of real (unreported) accidents, would it be worth saving one life for 1000 wasted 911 calls? How about 10,000?

I don't have a confident answer for this at all, I think it's almost entirely subjective. There are folks who would confidently say that ANY amount of mass inconvenience is worth saving one life. There are others that would confidently say the opposite. Much more thoughtful people than I have spent a long time debating the topic on LessWrong, it's a pretty rich area of discussion.

I will say I absolutely get this perspective here and how it applies to the "spirit" of the GPL, and the way you phrase it is good in recognizing things as disparate but also intrinsically intertwined.

I will also say (on a personal level, I of course don't speak for RH) I think any such things should be addressed at the root, i.e. in the GPL.

This lets them bring in tons of money from owners of other manufacturer's cars using their chargers. It also means they don't get forced into CCS in NA which was the probable alternative path to convincing other manufacturers to use their NACS hardware.
> the Android version requires manual input

That feature is identical to iPhone's SOS call feature, but I think it has gotten recent coverage for false positives. I don't recall hearing that Apple's implementation has had the same level of false positives.

In this most recent situation it is crash detection, which I -think- Android also has, or at least Pixel phones do, but I don't know if they've had false positive problems.
I'm skeptical we'll see that any time soon. I interned at a NASA Ames lab that was testing AR, and there seemed to be no way to get depth perception correct on rendered objects directly overlaid on a see-through lens; there was lots of unpredictable variability in perceived depth by subject and background and even time of day. And I don't see us walking around with Geordi LaForge-style visors—simulated AR—any time soon.
The argument is that consolidation (and various neoliberal stalwarts e.g. Larry Summers) are the reason these companies are getting away with it. If the market were more diverse, you wouldn't have confident oligopolies raising prices with impunity.

I would add on class warfare. There's not really any such thing as corporation vs corporation anymore, it's class warfare with capital vs not, and capital knows it. All the X companies just raise prices uniformly because why would anyone not do it and ruin the party?
> other manufacturers are far better at making an actual car

Are they really "far better"? My wife's Tesla hasn't had any issues in the last 3 years. The build quality is great. Every time I have a chance to take the Tesla over my Kia, I do it because it's so much more pleasant to drive it.

Over the years I've had many cars. I am struggling to think of one better than the current Tesla that we have.
Speaking for myself, but although I loathe Elon and deride Tesla’s build quality, there’s truly nothing like driving around a Plaid Model S for it’s absolutely tearjerking speed. The weird steering wheel continues to annoy, however.

Stepping back though, one can get a performance Model 3 very inexpensively, relatively, and as far as I can tell or have seen, no other manufacturer outside of Porsche (with BMW making some minor inroads) has electric cars close to as fast.

So if given a choice between a ridiculously fast Tesla and a, say, much slower Volvo for the same or more money, I’ll go with the Tesla. Not that I base the entire purchase on acceleration performance, but all else being relatively equal I will be driving a Tesla until others catch up.

I don't put up with it. I am unreachable by phone, and I don't return unprompted calls.

However, phone calls are unreasonably effective for dynamic information exchange. Things that take days of asynchronous back and forth can be solved in a minute. This benefits both parties.

Maybe they foresee that the actual electric cars will be on par in the near future and hence focus on being the leader in energy distribution.
I think the main difference is that the field has effectively turned into a kind of factory work.

An analogy to the car industry holds very well, I think. Early in the automotive days, people built cars because they loved to build cars. As it became an industry, and then a mature industry, that was largely lost. Now, the people who "build cars" are factory workers, punching a clock and putting in their hours. The industry stopped being about excellence and started being about maximizing profit.

That's where software is now.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's clear that's a natural progression of new industries. However, that's not the sort of work that I want to do, and not what fulfills me.

I'm increasingly suspecting that there is no longer a role for the likes of me in the software industry.

It's Time to Subsidize E-Bikes
Obviously that is true, but that isn't how insurance companies think.

Imagine you're an obese 45 year old man working in a professional white collar job. You'll likely continue working for another 20+ years and switch jobs 1-3 times during that period-- switching insurance providers each time. Insurance providers are thus financially incentivized to think short-term, even though society as a whole (and that chunky guy in particular) are really obviously hurt in the long-term.

That's one reason why the US healthcare system is broken. There are many others.

A few things that I dislike:

The temporal resolution is unpredictable (as in the reduction of resolution with age is separate from the view resolution.)

Its slow as shit as in it (used) to take a good while to update with this time bucket's value, and that value seems to be able to change wildly (more than just an average)

The min/max/average/count/$other parameters are poorly documented and inconsistently applied across services. therefore what chance do you have for implementing them properly.

It's expensive(well can be)

Are think you are working with a small subset of humanity: highly educated people.

For everyone else in the world, dogma rules. It is not that people get mocked when they profess a strong moral position and change it - it is that the vast majority live by strong moral positions and apply this level of certainty to everything. Just look at the increase in discussions around "how to change people's minds" since Trump entered the political scene: we suddenly needed to deal with folks who will not change their mind under any circumstances.

Mocking people for changing their mind is how the "in group" of the tribe maintains its dominance. We, the shamans, live by different rules, and occasionally get nailed to trees by the mob.
Wegovy (semaglutide) and similar GLP-1 drugs are not just a one-time prescription. Most patients are likely to continue taking it forever.

The trouble here is timing and alignment of incentives. The cost of those drugs is paid by medical insurers and self-insured employers (group buyers) today. But the cost savings benefits in terms of reducing type-2 diabetes and other obesity related conditions only show up years in the future. By that time the patient will have probably moved on to another employer and another insurer (maybe Medicare). So, absent some sort of legal or regulatory mandate it's going to be difficult to convince many employers to cover such drugs.

(From a public policy standpoint it doesn't make much sense to tie medical insurance to employment, but that's another discussion.)
Bayesian inference only works for "the cat is on the mat" examples. In reality, hypothesis and theory discovery and model selection are highly complex and neither a theory/hypothesis/model's accuracy nor the subjective probability that it's true are the decisive criterion for choosing the best one.

I ordered so many hobby electronics parts From AliExpress before India banned it. I learnt so much for my career from these.

I can absolutely get behind the "nobody knows what log levels are for".

First of all, logs come from application components, and the bigger your application is, the more levels are in this hierarchy (components of components etc.) Authors of individual components may not have any idea about how performance of their component is going to affect the whole application.

So... log level needs to be re-interpreted? Logs need to be collected hierarchically? Logs need to become part of the application public interface? -- This is too high price to pay, and, in practice, nobody is going to do this. So, in reality, outside of very simple cases, it's just easier to ignore the level of the log message.

Another aspect is that log levels aren't really a sequence. Messages can belong to several categories at the same time, but these categories need not occupy a continuous sub-sequence. And the more detailed you make it, the more obvious this problem becomes.

Yet another aspect: people writing logs may rely on another (dumb) program processing them. So, they will leave semantics of logs aside, while concentrating on the desired side effect caused by the application processing them.

My personal experience with, eg. Kubernetes is that its authors consistently underestimate severity of some conditions and overestimate severity of others. I often find that what was labeled as "warning" was the reason the whole cluster doesn't function anymore, while something that was reported as "error" was a completely expected condition that the program absolutely knew how to recover from.
I’m probably in between “the younger generations” and “the older generations” at this point in my life. One of the interesting observations I’ve made hanging around younger people is that they do seem to talk about politics quite a bit, but in a homogenous way. With older people, I know a number of right-leaning and left-leaning people and they don’t talk about politics with each other because they’ll just end up pissed off with each other. With younger people it seems they tend to form social circles that are very politically aligned, so no one’s going to get angry talking about politics. (Compared to, say, forming social circles around a baseball team or something like that)
