Tangential: The BBC writes on alleged public support in Singapore for the death penalty - 'But anti-death penalty advocates refute this'.

There are strongly held views on either side of this contentious debate but a refutation, if that's what it is, would settle the issue for most rational people. Since to refute is to disprove by argument, the existence of such a refutation would imply the Singaporean Authorities have circulated false data. I don't think the BBC believes that or is even implying it. They mean there is a vigorous debate.

"Battery meter at the top is EPA range - ie. the official range measurement method, in basically ideal conditions."

I guess I'm flabbergasted by this, as that's not how my Chevy Volt (and I presume many other BEVs) work. The range value ('guessimeter' people call it) on my Volt takes something like a rolling average of your last few drives and that's what it shows you. So if it's winter, it shows you less range because your last few drives had less efficiency. It's not always accurate (if there's, say, major temp fluctuations), but it's way more useful than what you're describing.

To me, what you're describing is borderline dishonest marketing, and technically unnecessary.

What I'd like to see is two numbers: estimated range as I've described, and beside it a kWh # (which I can guesstimate from the battery % gauge visual, but not precise).

EDIT: Not sure why car manufacturers in general hide the kWh remaining-capacity of the battery so much. They seem to think consumers are too stupid to understand such technical terms? But they're clearly aware of it every time they use a public charger, and it's the closest equivalent to litres/gallons in an ICE.

Neither would have Chrome to be fair. I remember being a PC user in the late '00s and Chrome ads and downloads links where absolutely everywhere. On Google, on Youtube, on GMail, on any kind of SW installer for Windows would come with a pre-ticked checkbox that would shove Chrome down your throat and then also set itself as the default browser on your system, like ad/-spyware. Naughty-naughty.

It was impossible to escape Chrome not getting on your Windows machine back then, it was like a disease. Sure, it was also hip and cool back then, like all brand new products launched by Google back then that generated hype and curiosity getting people to talk about it and recommend it further, but it wouldn't have reached such insane popularity on pure merit and word of mouth alone.

A bigger problem I've had with issue references is in commits. A repo we used as template was using "Fixes #123" in commits messages, to close tickets filled against that template repo.

Which is better for consumer. To pay less for one competent product or to pay more for multiple better products together?

Looking at streaming, is it not extremely great following that logic that we have dozen different services. All with their own "better" content. Instead of one lesser one with all content?
> Indie artists need money and the publishers that decide the winners/losers by controlling all the traditional distribution networks have no incentive to signal boost independents.

A publisher may wish to control distribution, but the cost to distribute any media (music, text, video, software) is nearly zero. The internet allows all of us to have a slush pile, to delve as deep for raw ore as we want. Some people want to go mining. Most don't and the traditional distribution networks ultimately market to such a person - and one way or another, we can't all delve through every slush pile. If you spend hours on SoundCloud or Bandcamp looking for music, you have less time to crawl for independent films or writing.

Any attempt to narrow the slush pile has the effect of marginalizing less mainstream efforts. If you read reviews or blogs to find things that seem worthy, then you are seeing what made it through someone else's slush pile. If you let the YouTube algorithm do it through recommendations, you are allowing Google to work through the slush pile.
What does any of this have to do with the fact that Tesla is lying to its customers and the other EV manufacturers are not.

I'm a physician and use chatGPT extensively for coding, writing, and general knowledge inquiry.

With 60-70% correct rates on most training sets and 0.63 critical errors per report, for any physician not very well-versed with the limitations of LLMs, this is more of a liability than an asset. Some of the biggest barriers to care are cognitive, such as anchoring or availability biases. LLMs in their current state will only muddy the water.

Good physicians already know and do use these tools, bad ones will only get worse. A legal mandate will not benefit care.

Doubtless these models will progress to where this calculus will change. The only benefit from a mandate now that I can foresee is to accelerate fine-tuning by forcing widespread reinforcement learning by physicians, but that is a different discussion.
I must add that in order to stay "safe for work" and comply with github community standards, I do present the tool with sounds of goats instead of female moans -- I hope you understand :-)

While you raise a valid point you chose a terrible example as even Elon, as crazy as he is, refuses to go against the laws of physics. Even he has a limit(for now at least). I get that its just an example: its just that Elon might throw you out of his office.

Its also this kind of thinking that gets people into trouble ie. completely destroying a working codebase because one only thinks in first principles and cannot map human factors(which are inherently too complex to reason mathematically) onto this other plane of thinking.

There needs to be a balance between the unconstrained dreamer and the practical realist.

Steve Jobs had a group of trusted confidants (Tim Cook, Ive and the other leaders) to help reel him back to reality from time to time.

There's no reason why Tesla can't calculate the accurate range in both places, is there? My 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has a "distance to empty" number that "learns" based on your driving habits and typical mileage. It's not perfect, for example going on a road trip can throw it off (the hybrid gets significantly lower highway MPG than around town), but most of the time it's very accurate.
I don’t really get the range complaints at this point, with an ICE vehicle people rarely know their range they just look at a gauge for F to E.

With the superchargers, range doesn’t really have a material effect anymore and most of the time the network isn’t necessary anyway.

It’s not a real issue.

I’d like to be able to go 200 miles at 85mph, and do it between 80% and 20% of charge (so I can supercharge quickly and not worry about range at the bottom end) That would equate to a single stop on my typical family road trip. That’s 333miles at 85mph. My Model 3 can’t do that. Hoping the high end Cybertruck can get close.

I meant EPA average usage
It really does not learn. I have driven the same route to and from Richmond, VA as a range test over and over again since 2018.

My range is approx. 180 miles, in favorable conditions (summer, AC off). If it was actually accurate, as soon as you hit 70-80mph you would see your range half. Clearly that doesn't happen, so the estimator is off by ~40% for highway conditions, i.e. complete bullshit.

This entirely depends on what uses it. If every website on the planet starts requiring you to attest to your identity to view the site, then yes.

Pushback against voter ID laws would be ridiculous if those laws were accompanied with measures to make it cheap and easy for citizens to obtains the necessary ID. If those laws were accompanied by such measures most of the pushback would go away.

But in most of the states that have been pushing such laws that is very much not the case. The deliberately pick forms of ID that are less prevalent among poor and minority voters and that for many are expensive to obtain. In several they have also taken measures to make it even more difficult for those people to obtain ID.

For example if they require an ID that you get from the state's department of motor vehicles (DMV) they (in the name of budget cuts) close many DMV offices, and in the ones that remain open the cut back on the hours during which they will issue licenses to a few hours on weekdays. The closures mostly hit in poor and minority districts.

Yes, some of those laws do make some forms of acceptable ID free, but only in the sense that there is no fee to obtain that ID. Obtaining the documents necessary to obtain the ID will still have fees.
As I mentioned in my above post, they have really dodgy data. Ideally, with something like this, you would have collaborators to verify alongside you as joint co-authors. I think something people underestimate if how easy to replicate samples are - crystal growth is difficult, and impurities are important. It is unlikely anyone will produce exactly the same sample only something close based on the process they've given.

In realistic terms it seems they're grabbing for the prestige without the foundation of crossing their ts. Bad science like this shouldn't be encouraged. It's likely there's not very many groups growing the same material system so they have the time to spare. A paper like this wouldn't be on the arxiv at all if they were 100% sure because they would go straight for the nature publication and take the time to do more follow-up papers while they can.

Edit: to be clear as well, a lot of people are underestimating the time it takes to reproduce a growth even with a manuscript telling you how to do it. People always leave out steps and oversimplify. There is a lot of extra characterization that takes time to double check you have the right material that lines up with what they have here. Only the direct competitors actually already growing this material can do it in a few days.
Waymo doesn't really need investors. And they're arguably at the very bleeding edge of self driving tech (at least in terms of quality). I can't see anyone else dominating the self driving truck market in the meantime.
I think they've got a fair point, though, that a number of those issues with the eSIM reflect reliance on factors outside their control (for example, whether or not one's carrier has competent backend systems) where before swapping a SIM card was a physical action within their control. It's a frustrating feeling when a new technology takes something out of your hands in the name of convenience but, far from being seamless, actually introduces problems that are entirely out of your hands to fix.
Ah, yea i definitely need local-only support.

My goal is to build a single binary, local only command<->LLM interface. Chidori looks to overlap with that significantly, but of course i'd need custom LLM resolution.
You could also say the same thing about health care or any of the myriad other problems the US faces. Supporting Ukraine and outrage at Russia's invasion are among the most bipartisan issues the US has had in years.

But honestly, the US's problems are shared by many other Western democracies, albeit on a smaller scale. Polarization is happening in many different countries, even ones that lack the two-party system of the US.

Many archeologists (e.g. Renfrew) use a methodological definition. "Prehistory" in that definition isn't a specific period of time, it's just what you're studying whenever you apply certain types of methods.

Others (e.g. Peter Schmidt, Kehoe) argue that it's just a archaic term without any meaningful communicative value. Resolutions to this include just swapping "prehistory" for "history", or defining it arbitrarily as something like 5000 BCE.

The main result of all of these is to avoid the idea that some random dude shows up for a week, never to be seen again, and using that as the date when "history" starts. European contact in most of the Americas (or Africa, Australia, etc) took centuries from initial contact to full colonialism and the word "prehistory" carries a lot of negative connotations in English. Moreover, the term "writing" itself excludes a lot of written communication systems because it's typically defined only for systems that can record the complete breadth of verbal speech. A system that only encodes a domain of human communication (e.g. tax records and religious stories like Aztec script) is not "true writing" and hence "prehistoric".

This is a really weak argument. Chase "requires" certain OSes because that's all the QA and develop for, not for some client trust reason. There's no reason for a bank to require a trusted environment, user authentication is sufficient. Trust environments really do matter for other cases and provide security for the user. All good tech has bad applications.
Yes, I've read that without easily accessible surface level coal, there is no industrial revolution. Maybe the advanced past civilizations were based in what is now called Africa or Indonesia, and the UK was some remote frozen place where it wasn't worth it to mine the surface coal?

Many people in the field are physicists, and they consistently state that even if the performance is better than human, they will not use ML in the field, simply due to explainability. Physicists like having very explainable analytical equations, so handing them a lot of matrices with how to compose them is not convincing.

They may still lose out in time, but not without a battle over explainability.

The carriers are the problem, though. In many countries there's at most one eSIM carrier, some don't allow it for pay-as-you-go and their implementation is often generally poor.

There's very little a carrier can get wrong with a SIM.

Yeah, there's no reason they couldn't do that, and most other BEVs do that. The fact that Tesla doesn't is I'd say, disappointing? and likely to give EVs a bad name in the long run.
