This is just basic physics not a conspiracy theory.

It simply doesn't make sense to massively improve distance.

The number has nothing to do with how obscure they are.

I have interacted with them many times. (1) to fill out various Covid-related entry forms when those were widely required, (2) to apply for visas, (3) purely out of curiosity (e.g. I’m sometimes curious what travel warnings/advisories other countries’ foreign ministries put out and how they compare with our own).
OpenBSD is a tier 3 platform for Rust because of their release policy (frequent releases, no guaranteed backwards compatibility). Unless that changes it's unlikely that you'll see OpenBSD promoted beyond tier 3. From the OpenBSD side it's unlikely they'd adopt a language that's relegated them to the lowest priority.
> it would be incredibly stupid

> I'd bet he is just a self centered narcissist

These two things are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one would think that a narcissist who has gotten away with it all his life would think he was invulnerable. It certainly tracks that he would be open about it.

And really, if it walks like a rapist, and it talks like a rapist, and it acts like a rapist... it is probably a rapist.
We can build hydrogen infrastructure if we had to. None of those ICE bans are going to happen by 2035, at least not without massive loopholes. We will be driving ICE cars for a very long time to come. The correct pathway is finding a sustainable alternative to ICE cars that could happen organically, not fantasize about instantly turning everything into a zero emissions car tomorrow.

Tesla is the company that is going to die. The BEV is not going to be the only car in the future, nor will last forever. If anything, it is an outdated idea, and was an overreaction to the 2000s oil shock. Toyota will just make whatever cars people want.

Basically pentagon is setting American military power to be defeated into 2nd class power from which nevet to recover. You can already see Russians obliterate anything sent over Ukraine battlefields by NATO, especially US. We will see in our lifetime our American Leutra where just half a century ago Americans defeated Nazi. It is such a bad idea to use Sparta as though Americans never read history...ops the recent Jada Black Cleopatra confirmed that.
Trying Gleam that also runs on Erlang VM but has static types, a fast compiler with Rust-style elaborate error messages made me hopeful about how much nicer this experience can be when static types are added to Elixir too.

I see, interesting. Definitely sounds like a kernel thing, and I honestly wonder if it isn't a BIOS/firmware issue with the Nvidia GPU handling incomplete initialization sanely. I wonder what would happen if you just tried booting DOS or some other OS on the thing. Or just sat in the BIOS?

If booting into something barebones leaves everything cool, and depending on how long it takes for the chip to get warm, perhaps you could move a `for (;;);` further and further down into the OpenBSD kernel and find the point things get cranky that way.

Extremely hacky approach though, I'll definitely concede that point >.>

(But if you want to try it, I would wholeheartedly recommend looking into something like iPXE, which would let you download each test kernel over HTTP at boot time and make the iteration process tolerable. This assumes you have a second machine though...)

To continue to sell cars which are unreliable and have huge supply chains.

Electric cars require much less assembly time, have a much smaller supply chain, and require much less maintenance.

Japan is literally propped up by its auto industry - they make it prohibitively expensive to own a vehicle more than a few years in order to artificially create a market for newer cars. The other result in a huge used vehicle export to most of the world except for the US.

I don't think the average non-Japanese understands that owning an old car in Japan is a significant status symbol.

Also, did you notice that damn near every model year of Japanese car has different headlights, taillights, and bumpers? And small narrow bits of the lights now extend well into the quarter panels with unique shapes? You think it's coincidence that parts most likely to be damaged even in a minor collision are year-specific and thus more expensive and harder for non-OEMs to keep up with manufacturing compatible parts?

The lights extending into bumpers and quarter panels aren't just a styling thing, they're physically keying the parts. They even do unique rest-of-world vs US styling to make it even more difficult for third party parts.

It also lets them keep cranking out models people think are new and exciting...when in reality the underpinnings rarely change. The Corolla is a perfect example, using largely the same underpinnings for nearly two decades.

> You have to implement a matrix of all valid permutations ?

I think the example was pretty bad, however the union type being referenced is that matrix, afaik.

Let's start with a different example. I have a business process that runs off a plan-document. The plan-document includes things like caps for number of times things can happen over a period (including, all-time), or day parting specifying when things can happen at all (only saturdays), and absolute controls like "active" or "inactive", on top of the creation/deletion paradigm.

When the process runs, what is the state of the business process at any given time? "inactive because capped out" or "inactive because day parting"? This set of labels will grow, in permutations, over time as well as discoverable business needs. eg Was it "inactive" because it was created that way or someone manually deactivated it with an update? Now the program needs to reference a history of changes as well as referencing run-state.

A business that is building a new product, especially within a domain that few people understand, requires more than building a set of states and assume they will always meet the needs. This is a recipe for lots of large-scale rework and bugs. A set of states (be it a bitfield or json blob or whatever) fed into a rules engine (or component) will likely be more extensible over time than looking at simple labels.

Granted, this is predicated on the software being a non-trivial system.

Thank you for the summary!

I'm not heavily invested in AI (machine learning) and don't have tools to do X or Y. This saved me a lot of time and broke down the (dense) article nicely for me.
I find that rather strange, IMO a first level support manager has a very dehumanizing job and gets paid less than top tech support staff. The lifers I've known also didn't want developer jobs as project pressures can feel persistent while a support engineer couldn't care less about your problems when they go home.
Most of those problems are exactly the same with ICE engines. You may not want that comment, but it's true.

Except the roof rack one is bogus. I installed the cross bars of a roof rack on my Bolt EUV (it came with the rails), and afaict it affected my mileage not at all. I still get 320 to 330 estimated miles (against the EPA's 247 estimated miles).

And the don't charge above 85--90% one is bogus too; there's talk about that on forums, but the manufacturer says nothing about it.

And I wouldn't want to go below 10% on a gas powered car either...

> They started a subsidiary for self driving with around a thousand employees [2]

Lots of 'self driving' investments have invested a huge amount without much benefit.

> They released EVs, the bZ3, the bZ4x, the Lexus RZ

Their total EV sales are tiny. The bZ4x is universally mocked at one of the worst EV in class and not actually cheaper then the competition.

> Current battery technology is a huge reason why people don't switch to EVs.

And yet huge amounts of people are switching to EV and the actual limit is batteries supply limitations not battery size.
Then the future is ICE cars because it makes sense to "actual costumers." But that isn't the topic at hand. It is what will make sense, and that can only be hydrogen cars in the long run.

I encountered my first virus I think around 1991. I don’t remember the name of the virus, but I do know I had to learn to format a disk, and reinstall DOS. A few years later I came across a computer virus zoo on one my friends computer - I remember thinking it was extremely dangerous.

Antiviruses were not built in then : you had to buy them, and manually run them whenever you inserted something new ( a floppy basically) just in case the floppy came with a virus. There were indeed lots of stories about av and virus people being the same.
Ask HN: Software-related part-time positions?
Sorry for the vague-ish title, I'm looking for a software-related (developerment, IT, data engineer, etc.) part-time position and would appreciate any information on them like:

- Do they exist/how common are they?

- Where are they best found? (Haven't seen them on "who's hiring" submissions)

- What kind of positions might provide flexibility in location and work hours?

Personally, I'm trying to earn a little more plus have something to do since I have time, though I'm sure part time work is of interest to people in various situations (don't need the money, only have limited time due to e.g. child-rearing, etc.)
Sorry, but it simply IS the case that Chicago is the "capital of corruption". It's not a "regional slur." You're entitled to your opinion, but so am I: I went to the high school (Fenger) that the real Eliot Ness went to, and so did both of my parents.

>Hybrids are strictly worse than electrics in every measure except range, and most customers do not need the range they claim to need.

Thats the benefit of a plug-in Hybrid. Most people don't need to drive much on a day to day basis and the smaller battery can handle that fine. For longer driving you have the ICE engine. The ICE engine can weigh as much or less than a comparatively "long range" battery.

Peak oil or not, the declining EROI of oil however could make the continued functioning of the industry economically unviable in the 2030s.

Since when was cyberpunk a dream to be pursued? It's the opposite of a naive dream. It's a nightmare full of high tech and people living on scraps, constantly trying to keep up with the tech fallout from big corporations. One of the most iconic places in cyberpunk was literally described as being "like a deranged experiment in social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept the thumb permantently on the fast-forward button."

How is this appealing? It's a warning, not a cosy idea to aspire to!
TL;DR a parody of pseudo scientific discussion of the topic.

What does resetting your keyboard dictionary have to do with your wifi passwords?
Pretty sure it would have gone both (all) ways where the opportunity arose just as it does between today's animals. I doubt people truely think that only dinosaurs were top predators across all sizes, groups and timeframes.
No, I agree. I think it’s unlike the others in that it’s a virtue and not just a basic life skill.

I just disagreed with what I perceived to be a knee-jerk aversion to a virtue because it doesn’t apply in some circumstances.
This is clearly meant to be humorous etc, but just to explain a part of what’s happening here: Regressing price levels (integrated series) against each other does not lead to meaningful R^2 values and is considered a “chart crime”.

The second. The cost of the aging of such a large cohort will have massive effect on the economy. For western europe, current estimates is that a quarter to a third of the workforce will be in direct support and aid of old people. Caregiving. These jobs are badly paid, highly dangerous (yes).

On top of this, their healthcare will also heavily tax the healthcare system.

Both combined will generate a heavy toll on the economy. Faaaar worse than what Japan have been dealing for.

And yes. They also expect far higher standards of living than in the past.

I am sort of blown away by the response to my post. I feel like I need to respond. But the posts from so many people are so amazing. I have "retired" a couple of times, but I keep coming back because, this is fun.

The thing I want to do, it has to do with a new technology that would revolutionize LEOS technology, at least, that's what I think. And, I have some models that support that. Who cares? Millions of people who can't afford a decent internet connection, or one at all. If I say more, I could spoil it.

But what if we could do both. Turn a small reasonable profit and provide connectivity, well, everywhere. And decently. That's my dream. It's OK to laugh. I do too. But heck. What else am I supposed to do. Why not take a shot with a kooky idea. So here I go, fingers crossed and all that.
Not to mention radical increases from demanding everyone switch to heat pumps plus demanding industry switch to electrified versions of everything too. It's seriously a complete fantasy to think the grid can happen all that with minimal upgrades.

Which institutional system out there, worldwide, is a model of cross-checks, effective powerful independent oversight, corruption fighting, etc - enforcing not just lack of corruption (not just financial) but also efficiency in accomplishing its mission? Anyone? Anyone?

Some institutions used to have great reputation but I don't know that they were all that efficient. (UK Police, French electricity company). But for both of these I don't feel that it was because of good independent oversight anyway.

I use KDE neon user edition, which is basically the latest Ubuntu LTS base + rolling release KDE packages on top. That way I get a rock solid LTS core with the added benefit of always getting the freshest KDE Plasma updates, which is definitively my favourite DE.

Details about my installation:
It has proven to be quite resilient. The installation's life started as Kubuntu 18.04 in late 2018, then upgraded to 20.04, then, using some nifty tricks from a Gist I found, I migrated my Kubuntu install to KDE neon a couple of years ago, which I then eventually upgraded to the 22.04 rebase when that came out. I've had a package conflict here and there and the occasional issue due to this migration path, but always been able to rectify it fairly easily. The installation has also survived a full system upgrade, first migrating from HDD to SDD for the system disk, and during 'rona, a full upgrade of motherboard, processor and RAM, all with no issues. Just booted without any complaints. That was nearly never the case when I was a Windows user, if I changed anything, it would throw a hissy fit. Needless to say, I'm happy with the status quo :)

You do realize that if you do all of those things in an ICE, you'll get a similar drop in range, right?

At any rate, most people never do all those things, nor do they go into some death valley. Because most of us don't like death.

As for the charging places, yes that is an issue. I never had trouble filling my horse with that gasoline stuff, either.
