It is truly insane that its 15k more for large cars. Afaik its really bad that everyone has big cars when they absolutely dont need them. No matter if they are EVs they are still lot less efficient…

Seems like this could have been incentive for people to go back to normal sized cars - it should have been same or even more for cars than for large vehicles.
That's Million or Billion? Because, otherwise, it'll be 37Bn?

Chess engines overtook human chess players more than a decade or two ago and human chess is thriving. Activities don't become less rewarding for you simply because someone else is better at it, even if that's a machine. A robotic arm can probably lift more than I do, doesn't take my enjoyment from working out away. And people enjoy the human aspect and narrative in any activity in its own right.

And that's the worst case in a way, because a chess computer is a really stupid machine. Getting beaten by minimax is kind of annoying. AGIs on the other hand if they ever exist will be very fascinating entities indeed and I wouldn't mind if they're better at anything than I am. And the same goes for scientific research. I haven't stopped doing math because Terence Tao is better than I'll ever be. How many people can seriously claim to be at the frontiers of science? The value in learning isn't in being the best guy or girl there is.
I also found his opening remarks offputting to the point where I stopped watching the video after a minute or so. I clicked on link in good faith ready to hear some ideas about the limits and dangers of technological of solutions, and instead was treated to some stereotypical and frankly hateful remarks about "tech bros".

And it's not just because I work in tech (I often fantasize about quitting my job and buying a farm and living a low-tech lifestyle). I would find such remarks equally offputting if they were made about any group of people really... a political group (on either the left or right), a religious group, ethnic gorup, etc. I'm fine with attacking ideas, but not groups of people.
Sure it can be done. Just like strip mining, and a fossil fuel based economy, and mass poisoning of ecosystems for mono culture farming. Yes you can build software factories. The point is not that it doesn't exist or it's impossible. The point is, it is a way to exploit people and cause suffering for profit.

Software is codification of knowledge about domain and business process. If you wanna endorse and foster some form or another of cajoling it into making overtly complicated products for a boost on quarter revenues, we're just fundamentally of different world views.
And the piece has at the very beginning: "The idea of growing new teeth is every dentist's dream. I've been working on this since I was a graduate student. ..."

I'm not sure how involved this new teeth growing process is, but I can imagine it's not going to suck as much value out of you as a dentist can. Perhaps this isn't even done at the dentist (I hope so actually.)

I always felt like I was getting screwed by my dentist, but then I walked through a, what we'd here call a "volksbuurt", a neighborhood that isn't particularly rich. Saw a dentist, and it seemed more like a community place. I walked in, registered and have loved it ever since. They think along with me, tell me to get insured because something big is coming up next year and they can shift the current work to January (when the new insurance starts), they are very transparent about cost, explain why things are needed. I really appreciate that. They even told me that the pain I experience can go away without any major intervention if I really started to floss daily, it worked indeed.

Similar stories exist for garages (the place where they fix your car).
I love it. How about a quantum computing version?

You know who wrote this:

"Essentially, the Quantum FizzBuzz Decoupler is a device that bifurcates the bifizzial substrates and recoheres them into units of Buzzifactive tri-fusion. Its pivotal design focuses on the tripticate circuitry which utilizes pseudo-string theory, ensuring the cyclic decoupling of the Fizzionic and Buzzionic isotopes, thereby creating a conflux of cryptic poly-angular interdigitations.

This hyper-convoluted mechanism leverages the intrinsic infra-doodlality of its multitudinous nano-digitators, producing a reiterative bi-fractal resonance with every flicker of the reciprocal quark-flux nano-helices. Interlocking harmonic modulators within the Decoupler support the synchronous crystallization of the brizzulated waveforms, thus reinforcing the transluminal juxtapositioning of multi-fuzzional intermediates.

Within its dual-core, it harmonizes the phasic disentanglement of quasi-quintessential quantum flux through the divaricating spindles of the orthofizzial transinductor. Furthermore, the Decoupler incorporates an ultra-gloptic resonator to facilitate the recursive modulation of the bifizzial and tri-buzzoidal constituents, hence the stupendously high FizzBuzz output."
This is a theme you see around, we are creating techno solutions to problems, created by techno solutions - the real question is if we are happier now than in the past. It is debatable, empirically we have more than ever per individual and yet happiness is subjective. So long as we can keep going in that direction it should be alright. Right?

It is similar to Ted K in that, yes, here is a whole lot of problems that the technological society have brought on. Cool, now what? I ain't going to do what Ted did and even then - the happiness question pops up - will it make us any happier to follow that path. I don't know but I have a feeling that it wouldn't help or hurt, we just have a default and go with that.
Yes, in an ideal world, they would find the fraudster and lock them up. But that’s not feasible and they need something to happen. Punishing the business owner makes no sense in many cases (like this one; you are not going to try to fraud your own system after 7 years of no issues), but that’s the only one they can get to.
Not at all. If you decide on foobar.io, and someone else snaps up foobar.com, they effectively own the name foobar going forward. You're now in a tough situation of rebranding or trying to fight them to get the com.
> SteamOS is just Arch.

That's technically true, but oversimplified enough to be misleading. SteamOS boots from a read-only OS partition from which you can change nothing. You can only write to your "home folder", and you can only add new software using Flatpak, or Steam itself.
There kinda is?

Here is one on ebay for $600, realistically you'd need a nice rework station and the skills to reball it to actually use it. FPGA pricing for on places like mouser and digikey is notorious for being an outright lie, the high volume prices are way less then 50k (don't get me wrong they're still expensive chips, just less expensive than that).

Yet I yearn for higher tasking APIs such as a standard task-tree or task-graph.

The parrafin library helps a bit, but it's still heavy handed and feels abandoned (yes I or whomever I'm working for could take the maintainer mantle or write language proposals, but I don't actually know which solution would be best...).

The sparkel/parasail language prototypes (or actual implementations) had some interesting ideas but I'm not sure how it panned out and what the lessons learned where.
I’m not eligible for it.
Probably older than year or two, but still very interesting PLs:

JavaScript tooling it bad. So many half-ready choices. I tried to set up TypeScript project for last few days. It's a major pain. I originally wanted to use multi-module project: 1 node.js server, 1 webapp and shared code. I spent too much time trying to figure out all those things, TypeScript moduleResolutions and whatnot just to throw it all away. To hell with it. Yesterday I tried to understand how would I generate type-safe server code from OpenAPI spec. No way. zod, yup, ajv, wtf, but just dumb simple openapi generator which can generate code even for Ada, but node.js does not exist.

I love TypeScript, I love node, but I so much hate all the associated tooling. It's incredibly terrible. I don't want to make a single choice. I want a single build system which does everything good enough. I want a single "Spring Boot" framework which does everything good enough. I want a single linter, which built into my IDE and does not require me to exclude my dist folder. I don't want to configure my TypeScript compiler, it should be smart enough to configure itself. I don't want to spend days reading about project references, npm workspaces and other stuff. I want to create few folders like I do with maven and it's just works. I don't want to browse 10 different libraries for typings (why is it even needed for typescript???). I want things like JSON parsing and validation to be built into language or stdlib.

I hate go language. But their tooling is so right that I can withstand all those `if err != nil` every second line.
If you use a password manager such as 1Password (I’m sure many others support this/will support this as well), you can save the passkeys in there and allow shared access.

Most sites also support some kind of fallback method, like magic link or a password.
Type helps LLM, so possibly TypeScript become the king for LLM era. I don't know.
I’m not sure why the data would change. I can have a blog post in Markdown that spans across multiple apps, same with other standard data formats like MP4 and PNG which do not need to change when porting from one site to another.

The folks who predicted the subprime mortgage crisis nearly went bankrupt waiting for their bets to pay off. Sometimes predictions are correct on the facts but not the timing; we'll see.

Tesla's share price is still that of a technology company rather than a car company. It's not yet entirely clear whether that's warranted, but their self-driving moat is rapidly shrinking. I'd much rather be a SpaceX investor than a Tesla one.
It’s increasine in complexity when you are writing shell scripts, it is not when you have a proper system in place that provides a sane abstraction/interface for defining such configurations.
I worry about the horrible side effects that would occur from trying to grant that wish. It is always easy to make demands when you aren't the one carrying them out and most people don't think the implications through.

My mind just boggles at the implicit additional bureaucracy, expenses, and slowdowns being cheered for. The kind of mess which results in a system so complex that it has its own "degrees which shouldn't exist" spawned from it like medical billing.
Angular kinda does this; typescript+eslint+testing+framework are set up out of the box. I think sveltekit as well.

The Aussie government has the same new account cycling that corporate culture does. It's just that the gov has call centres and support staff.

Do you think there's any incentive to fix these problems when the constant inconvenience and technical gremlins can be more easily and excitingly solved with biometric IDs and whatever else?

Let's be honest, the Australian government may clamp down on corporations, but it plays the same game and doesn't care for anyone's dissent in the long run.
The overwhelming majority of car trips are possible in even the budget EVs.

Road trips are a problem, but charging infrastructure will eventually handle it. During the cross over period you could rent an ICE car.

I don't think 1 road trip a year is enough to sway most people off the idea of an EV if they want one. It's only going to sway those who are already skeptical.

The Pair Programmer feature is absolutely fantastic and a massive gamechanger. It helped me figure out the architecture for a new app I'm planning. I showed it to a senior developer in my coworking space and he said - in his own words - "yep, that's how I would approach it too".
I get what you’re saying when you talk about being a fraction of the cost of a super car but I just want to point out that the plaid is a 130k+ € car.

I can buy houses for that money here where I live in Italy. So it’s still an insanely expensive car.
> I've tried to watch some content on YT and its so hard to tell whats going on or to see anything as a newcomer.

That might have more to do with YT's encoding and color grading. I've had the same experience when watching videos, but not when playing the game.
> “Diplomats, ambassadors and their wives, as well as high-ranking military attaches, suddenly had to face a life of starvation with no bathtubs. I think that constitutes abuse, even if they weren’t beaten,” she says.

I mean, for poor people is ok to sleep on the floor with no bathtubs. But for "diplomats, ambassadors and their wives, as well as high-ranking military attaches" it is definitely not.

I guess fascism never dies.

I have such a bitter sweet relationship with retro computers. By that I mean the actual hardware itself, it is really cool to keep these things going but more and more the maintenance on these is a losing batter or it becomes a ship of theseus scenario in which so much is replaced the original is almost gone.

A few years back, I saw that a lot of my retro stuff was beginning to fail simply due to aging components. I donated what I could to those that could do something with it but it was kind of sad to see that non of this is going to be with us for a long time.

It is crazy in video games seeing stuff like PlayStation 1/2, Gamecube and Xbox DVD's are now starting to suffer from disc rot. It is looking like emulation or FPGA recreations by be the long path ahead if you want to experience as it was.
Add to that any traditional server side template rendering like Jinja or Django templates, and you can implement probably 90% of today's SPAs in simpler terms and actually working browser staples like the back and forth buttons.

Probably submitted by a Genglish speaker? The German word is drastisch. Dramatisch also exists, but as a native speaker I would say drastisch is the better choice here. Dramatisch would suggest that there a serious consequences like e.g. bringing Tor to its knees.

Any examples of those books?

And by “carnivore”, do you mean specifically including meat? Or do you mean something completely different, like a ‘varied & balanced’ diet?

I find it odd to list the biggest change in a move from a more tribal to a more westernised diet as being “beer & grains”. I would have expected the increase in sugar and chemicals/preservatives to be the relevant factor.
In many countries you have a cheap, easy to implement and fast bank to bank for online which is faster, cheaper and more secure. And as such, mostly impossible to chargeback because unless you had a gun to your head, it was you who did the transaction.

In those regions, incentivise those means; give 5% discount for paying like that. We accept those in region where they are available, we also have our IBAN for you to pay directly. Some companies prefer that as they pay all their other invoices that way.
No quite. By 'random access array' I meant changing an arbitrary array element, anywhere in memory.

Suppose you have array mutation, but the changes are only local.

Then as TuringTest pointed out, there are efficient ways to make those local changes in a functional programming language without the log(N) overhead.
None of your observations strike true, perhaps you are assuming too much thought on the part of the average user. People use 'Login with FB' (and others) because it is convenient, there is nothing more to it. It's only a small fraction of the population that are aware that choose to avoid using it due to the potential for lockin.
Yes, my experience is that most hype comes from people that don't actually work in the jobs they claim will be replaced. Writers, for example.

While generative AI does make writing some things more efficient, it almost always has a bland, generic style that is immediately recognizable. The only jobs it will be replacing are ones that didn't require much effort in the first place.
> I am not using those tests to prove the code "correct" but to prevent regressions during refactor or new feature development later on.

Then you don't really need to have the tests written, what you need to do is to compare the output and behavior of the two code bases before and after refactoring. I mean why use a low fidelity approximation of the original (i.e. test that only works in some cases), if you already have the original at hand? (After all, how can you predict ahead of time, which features of the original version will need to be tested as preserved in the new version? Isn't writing regression tests in advance a form of premature optimization?)

From the view point of testing, you're comparing two implementations. So again there needs to be some understanding which one is the correct specification - the original one or the new one?

It would be more useful if the industry actually treated the two cases - i.e. testing against specification and regression testing of the refactored code - as completely separate, instead of trying to push unit tests for everything. Because in the latter case, ideally you can prove that the refactored code is doing identical thing, which is stronger than testing.
I made a similar observation. Assuming it was trained on internet content, like fora conversations, it would make sense that a polite conversation is conducive towards usable results.
Very in tune with the reference of the articles title.
Yeah fair enough, before pay-at-the-pump and proliferation of 24HR gas stations and navigation systems, you definitely had to think about your range more, especially in rural areas. But most gas powered cars have at least 300 miles of range. My truck has 720 miles of range. And if you always fill up at half a tank, you'd be hard pressed to find a path to travel on in the U.S. in 2023 that doesn't hit multiple gas stations with 24 hour pump access.

It's also true that running out of gas doesn't require a tow. You just need roadside assistance to bring 5-10 gallons to get you back on the road in minutes.
A minute over 40k is absolutely huge. This site is... not right. I've done a 40km TT in just under an hour and I'm no pro. Pro times are maybe low 50s.

If that “spam” you talk about was real and not just a conspiracy theory, you wouldn’t have to rely on promoting uncritical, dogmatic skepticism. That only works on feeble minds anyway. The people who matter are taking crypto seriously regardless of your “efforts”.

I’ve a DEC750 that I’ve bumped to 16GB memory. A 10GbE capable (2.3GbE Wireguard) router that’s silent and idles on par with my cable modem (8W) has been a great piece of equipment I don’t see myself replacing until 2030-2035. I even plugged in a USB WiFi adapter so if cable goes out, it fails over specific VLANs and will use my cell phone to keep core connectivity up for work, etc.

They’re not cheap, but if you want some serious kit that also financially supports the OPNSense project, the Deciso appliances are tough to argue. Power efficient, durability-focused components, just work.

It’s nice seeing their commercial offerings getting beefier.
Arguably, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
Funny. I think I trip the filter on generally distrusting people, but not because I assume they're lying. I mostly distrust people because most people love to talk and give advice on things they aren't knowledgeable enough to be trusted on. They don't necessarily mean harm. Ray Dalio's take on this is that most individuals that give advice have low believability weighting.
Yeh - it’s a bit of a slow boiler that one. Takes, what, 379 pages to establish that 1 + 1 = 2.

Kubernetes: Node-Shell
Node-shell is a kubectl plugin that allows running a privileged pod on Kubernetes, granting you access to node resources.

I heard this interview as well, and found it quite fascinating, especially that there's now an idea for an experimental test of pilot waves vs. other interpretations.

I didn't consider pilot wave theory a serious contender, he kinda changed my mind. Though I did think he kinda glossed over the objection that it's not a properly relativistic theory.
Losing it.
>Many people already pay for pornography which usually necessitates identification, so requiring ID for any porn site access is not a huge jump.

The vast majority of people do not pay for porn, therefore for the vast majority of people it is a huge jump; and so this isn't a very compelling point.

And my point was that regulation with easy and free to access loopholes is regulation only by name. Did you know you can still buy drugs, download movies and watch bestiality porn on the Internet? How can this be when these things have been illegal/regulated for so long!?
> One of my big issues with the 'follow your passion' advice is it almost always comes from people who are already rich

She is not rich and has to hustle like crazy to sell her artwork while also working tables at a casino and raising a daughter. I doubt that she would advise anyone to just follow their passion without first establishing some kind of financial base.
