If you think 60 bucks for a professional non-subscription heavy-duty media tool is good, DaVinci Resolve is going to blow your tiny wee mind - you can use the same tools they use to make stuff for Netflix, right there on your desktop, for *free*. If you want the extra features of the paid one (maybe you want to cut 8K video, or you really need neural network rescaling, or something) it's about 300 dollars.

>an average call center employee can cost $30 for a complex customer question

How? I've worked in a call center where big companies outsource their customer support in Eastern Europe, and we were paid 3-4 euro an hour. Even if a "complex customer question" takes an hour (which doesn't happen often at all), what sort of overhead can there be?

> So if you have a question that someone with HN-level IQ cannot resolve themselves then customer service cannot profitably help you.

How is it a question of intellect? Customer service might have access to more information not in the public, might have access to other instances of the same problem where they had to find out how to interpret the rules and disambiguate, and most importantly, they usually have the power to take action (untick a box somewhere, offer a refund, whatever).

And how would that be profitable long term? Just by virtue of the fact that in a market with actual competition, leaving your customer dissatisfied is not profitable.
> (let's not fight about semantics please)

But what you dismiss as semantics is entirely relevant! You're upset that Microsoft and OpenAI gatekeep uncensored models. But Llama 2 has similar content filters, no? And certainly a huge list of license restrictions.

I'm glad the actual open source models are constantly improving.

"A headless CMS in our case would be a better approach" doesn't the client just get mad they can't do what they want? You can only build so many components.

Ideal world is a CMS that allows clients to easily change the HTML without code. That way it loads fast, has great SEO and stops developers re-inventing the wheel.

That was the reason I built https://versoly.com/ (Website builder + CMS), why does the client have to contact you to change the background color or add a new section?
Psychoanalysis is more adapted to non clinical psychology, I.e., helping people cope with trauma and life events that cause issues. It is a decent adjunct to behavioral techniques. CBT etc are less about understanding and dealing with causal factors and more about thought and behavior adjustment towards some goal. In a practical society this is often valued over personal understanding and resolving complex personality challenges. But for the individual post CBT analysis and psychodynamic therapy is what truly locks in gains and mental health.

Kind of: The point is making it find and correct the mistake itself, instead of spelling out the fix. We want it to replace a competent coder who can do code reviews by themselves, rather than just being a fancy input method that turns English into code.

Generally git‘s support for a stacked PR workflow is poor [0], but imho that is the future of team collab (git is great for very asynchronously built projects, like the linux kernel).
I also wonder, how much better git could be if it was based on DAGs not trees (I may want to use a changeset that is still developing in more than one branch without maintaining copies of it) and corollarily I‘d like to rebase subtrees (sub-DAGs) instead of single branches.

I have introduced a stacked PR workflow to our team a while ago and a few months later half of the team had migrated to some kind of stacked PR workflow tool (on top of github and git, even though support is sub-optimal).
It seems like this is an idea that is really sticky.

1200km is more than enough. Nobody should be driving longer distances in one day anyway. If this will hold up, Toyota will have leap-frogged their competition. As a German, it kind of pains me to see how asleep at the wheel the German car industry is: too timid, too conservative and too slow.

Edit: Although a bit of a bummer further down: "Toyota claims it will be ready for sale in 2027 or 2028."
Ordinary, but skimmed milk - mumsnet says you need to boil it for ~10 mins and then let it cool to ~40C before adding the live yoghurt culture. Working well so far!

To put this into context, with 1200km of range, this car would be a fair bit ahead of its competitors. According to [0], the current top of the line is the Lucid Air with 830km, followed by the Tesla Model S with 650km and the Hyundai Ioniq 6 with 580 km of range.

Agree. This article takes the phrase "745 mile solid state battery, charges in 10 minutes created by Toyota" and fluffs it to 1000 words. No further information is conveyed.

I think mostly it will depend on what we will call the replacement to git. We might end up calling it 'git', too.

Less weirdly: ethernet has been replaced a few times already, but they always just end up branding the replacement as a new version of 'ethernet'.

Just like every other battery announcement. Progress is progress though, so good news.
I've used SVN and GIT and I agree that Git is needlessly complex. The tooling around it (that I have used) is better though.
Personally, this is the first time I'm seeing this info, and to me it's pretty exciting. 750mi on a single charge would significantly change the calculus on EVs for me personally. It pretty much eliminates any range worries I have, and makes it way more feasible for me to own one if I live in an apartment or condo where I cannot install a more powerful charger. It's the difference between hanging out at a charger station once a week vs once a month.

So at the very least, the article is a nice heads-up to me and others alike that are somewhat on the fence about EVs, that some of our concerns may very well be assuaged.

Lately I'm more and more convinced that the challenge is not doing a thing, the challenge is scaling it up. Doing a thing is a necessity for moving forward, but scaling it up is how you change the world.

On one hand, Toyota is pretty good at scaling things up. On the other hand, they have not shown scaling it up, they have shown doing a thing.

We'll have to see. The time is running out.
Do you think that full employment is necessary in today's society? Note I did not use the word economy. I wonder if people who have "welfare queen" adjacent perspectives believe that people would not be happy in a situation where we have a smaller economy and a society where the average person isn't forced to compromise their values or submit themselves to abuse just to afford rent and food.
Toyota already said it was around the corner in 2017[0]. Now it's 2023 and it's still around the corner. I'll believe it when I see it.

I’m sure if given the choice B&D would have chosen spending $90 million on a working factory vs. a non producing factory.
I've been seeing a lot of articles like this. I feel like Toyota is planting these stories to encourage its customers to wait for its EVs. After all, why would anyone want a 300 mile EV when these hypothetical vaporware "745 mile" EVs are around the corner?

> Either way “Rust is helping” is true.

Maybe, but it's misleading. Using the assertion that "$FOO made $BAR popular" when $FOO contributed 1% of that effort and $BAZ contributed the other 99% is enough to make most people consider the original statement inaccurate.

> And given that Go is a managed language it never really factored into the shared library debate to begin with, whereas Rust forces the issue.

How so? Rust allows both shared and static compilation, so it's actually the opposite - Rust specifically doesn't force the use of single-binaries.

I'm struggling to interpret what it is you are saying: Go specifically forces the use of static linkage, whereas in Rust it's optional, is it not?

I am under the belief that in Rust you can opt-out of static linkage, while I know that in Go you cannot.

Are you saying that Rust doesn't allow opt-out of static linkage?

In EV space, they're not even that. They have no competitive offerings and they wasted a lot of time going after hydrogen, which was shown to be not feasible like a decade ago.

Their current hybrids are nice, though.
The UNIX philosophy of minimal cmdline tools that do one thing right is fine and the Go-style 'monolithic exe' without runtime dependencies except the OS is also fine (and both philosophies actually don't need to collide).

The problem is all the software that depends on tons of dependencies that are brought in dynamically. Just look at Jekyll vs Hugo. I have Jekyll break regularly when something (seemingly) unrelated changes on my machine, but Hugo is just rock solid.

Or another much more annoying example: Linux executables linking with glibc and then not running on systems that don't have that particular version of glibc installed.

I think this is how I imagine hiring to be but it is not scalable. You get hired for doing things you love and have passion for. The fire in the belly comes from passion and love for the craft.

Lot of engineers I have interviewed, if feels to me they are trying to hack the interview process. In larger orgs, "cracking" the interview process might lead to long term job. But in a mid tier or start up, that's the beginning.

Wrench manufacturing is a solved problem. We know what to make it from, how to design the parts, what tolerances are needed, how to make chunks of metal in that shape, etc. It's within the reach of a single decently successful youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FK-0zximxo

The problem is less making the thing and more the commercial side of the operation: will it be cheap enough to compete? Will you be able to convince hardware stores to carry it?
»Toyota has been secretly developing a solid-state battery for EVs with a range of 745 miles and a charge time of 10 minutes, which could revolutionize the industry.«

If you charge a battery with anything near the capacity necessary for 1200 km range within ten minutes, you will need at least a charger with 1000 kW (1 MW) output power.

For perspective: The two new units at Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant have 1100 MW each.

Where do people expect the necessary charging power to come from?

Rebasing is something you do to the commit graph, which is a DAG. Branches only come in incidentally. Branches in git are really just mutable pointer to immutable commits.

Comments below discuss,

1. batteries contribute a lot to EV weight, which in turn contributes to tire dust,

2. people overbuy on range for 1% of long-range trips, and

3. batteries degrade by some percent every year

So why not do the following:

- allow battery packs to be swappable including

- having battery bays for a range up to something like 300miles, but composed of smaller batteries with 100miles range each?

Then you could:

- add batteries when you need them (longer range, higher wear), and

- remove batteries when you don't need them (lower range, lower wear), and as added benefit:

- because batteries are swappable, they can be replaced easily, and range extensions could even be rented for the two weeks of holidays (range as a service)

This could follow a similar model to how winter and summer tires are swapped regularly in many countries.

If batteries were standardized, then they could even be shared between different vehicle types to account for seasonal need (farming, holidays, other machinery).

OOC, why does this stand out for you? Just to explain my curiosity, I've worked on Mac since I was a kid starting with System 6 and then going to OS X when it came out, so Apple's "your program is all in that file" just kind of made sense to me and it was really convenient to just drag a file to the trash and the app is _mostly_ gone, minus a few .plist and other config files in ~/Library.

But I _like_ the old forums and sites that still show the stuff like page_id=N; for the boards and forums I go to, it's very useful to just jump around long topics or you can play with it on your shitposting.

Old craftsman tools and various other tools from 30-40 yrs ago have no competition with the current market as far as I'm aware. We sold excellence and reliability to the lowest bidder in almost every single industry. I'm under no illusions, america used to make some terrible products in the past too, but now days half this stuff,even the high end stuff, is designed to go into the trash in 1-6 months... Current lifetime warranties aren't offered because the tools are that good, it's because market research shows you won't even want another one...

Some Chinese tools are fine, but many of them are awful. I talk regularly with manufacturer types, even the raw materials(like steel or aluminum) that come from china can be super suspect.

It's basic economic warfare. China said "screw you, we will make okay enough things at a cheap price so your country loses all of its actual expertise and trades people work at call centers while manufacturing becomes entirely controlled by another country. We will do this at the cost of millions of our citizens for the greater good. Every design sent to us will be replicated and sold for less. Meanwhile we will send our young to your schools to get educated on how to do this better than you, half of PhD students are foreign nationals, and even if they stayed in the US there's no jobs".

Paying the piper in this regard is inevitable. As a country we encouraged everyone to take quick cost saving measures for decades. Germany and many other countries have not Basically our hope is we can cheaply wiggle free by "AI", and not hiring trained experts to do jobs with care and lower the costs by cutting regulations.

We sold every part of everything that mattered to get ahead short term not paying attention to the debt accrued.
I played withsome else's hole hawg and I realized it has too much torque for me to work with safely.

I think we will see solid state battery's in portables (Phones, Laptops) long before we see them in cars. The yield required, cooling, structural integrity, is all very hard to solve. Starting on a smaller scale for the significantly larger per unit market seems to me to make more sense.
Do you know the lifetime of current battery technology? Expected years until 80% capacity, etc.? Asking because I don’t know.
