I'm surprised by the reaction to this article.

1. The range is set by the EPA. They are the ones that do the testing and validate the claims. The EPA should fix their range guidelines for EVs. Maybe a summer and winter range would be more appropriate?

2. Tesla should have a better UI for range, but really they should just show the percentage. Acting like it is a conspiracy is a bit extreme. They are just doing EPA Range * SOC. Without knowing all of the variables of a drive, the estimated range is going to be wrong no matter what you do. People think that their way of being wrong is better than Tesla's. Maybe they're right but the best estimate is still when navigating to a destination, and this estimate Tesla does quite well.

3. Tesla is cancelling the service appointments because there is nothing they can do to "fix" it. So why waste the time with a service appointment? They are just going to run the same diagnostics they ran remotely. Their software does a fantastic job explaining where your range is going.

Only five years ago, CL's web presence was not attractive. This included "official" websites and online documentation (despite all the great books). It's better now (common-lisp.net was reshaped, there's lisp-lang.org, a better Cookbook, the CL Community Spec, more YT tutorials…)

there is no full-featured web framework (although you can write web apps of course),

no satisfactory GUI lib (now Gtk4, Qt5 (hard to install), IUP, nice-looking Tk themes, more low-level bindings to graphics libraries etc)

the package manager came late,

good open-source compilers came late,

less choice in editors (now many https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...),

and, well, lots of FUD and a language not for everyone.

Indeed. Historically these walls have been used in orchards, where they are ideal. The wall serves an important function: it buffers heat. This can make all the difference, especially in late frosts, which are doom for the bloom. Of course, the added warmth can also mean you can grow varieties in a colder climate that you normally wouldn't be able to.
Writing a 6502 emulator in Python – Dailystuff on the Internet
The "explainer" is either incoherent here, or at least fails to acknowledge that by implementing holdback they don't solve the client trust issues they outline at the beginning. For example, one of the goals is to prevent cheating in games. With holdback, by design, the game would not be able to distinguish between a cheater who has opted out, and a non-cheater for whom holdback is active. The same applies to other trust scenarios, such as banking, in which the 'malicious software' could simply opt out. You can't just deny 5-10% of users access to your site, so there is no option but to enforce captchas, fingerprinting, or logins on those users.

In other words, developers of web apps who want to know certain difficult-to-fake facts about a client's browser would not be able to rely on WEI with holdback (by design) and would be obliged to implement all the same invasive techniques they perform now -- but now just to apply them to 5-10% of users. So it doesn't save developers any time. Does it help users? It doesn't seem like it, for two reasons. Firstly, while it's nice to know that there's only a 1 in 20 chance that my browser will be fingerprinted on a given site, that means that if I browse for any reasonable length of time and visit enough sites I will certainly be fingerprinted, and my information shared with whatever ad networks the site is using. Secondly, if developers are going to implement browser fingerprinting anyway, why not just apply it to everyone as an extra signal? Sites don't take heat for fingerprinting users now, why would they care?

In summary, the holdback idea seems to be at odds with the rest of the proposal, and the only reason it sounds attractive is because it nullifies the whole thing.

The solution is to not show miles on the basic battery meter, just percentage. Maybe show a rage next to it - 130-160 miles. But that too honest.

ICE cars all show a percentage, and maybe additionally a mileage on newer cars. The fact that they threw that away is a little silly.
Yeah, the CEO nailed the problem 5 years ago and tried to fix it. The community was having absolutely none of it - meta overflow more or less had a collective “are we so wrong? no, it’s the questionmakers who are wrong…” and then went right back to it.

We rented one on a trip recently, super annoying to realize the dozen or so chargers in this beach town were actually incompatible or just too slow for real life.

On the way back to the drop off autopilot tried to slam us into the Bentley next us! It had been traveling the same direction as us for like 20 minutes and when we passed through an intersection it just jerked hard left and I had to correct it manually. Possible injuries notwithstanding I’m sure that would have surpassed my insurance coverage, which I’ve intentionally gone way above minimums on.

It is the Skype For Business, but just rebranded. You can still see some cruft where certain dialog boxes still refer to it as Skype for Business.
> On the whole I am glad I moved out to a place where I have more in common with my neighbors and we share more cultural similarities.

I think it's strange that we agonize over race-based cultural differences, but totally accept socioeconomic differences without question.

It's okay to say "I don't wanna live in the ghetto", but not okay to say "I don't want to live in a culturally unassimilated neighborhood"
The distance left in the tank is closer to the Tesla's more accurate estimate because it's constantly adjusting based on both your current gas level as well as your current energy efficiency. It may not accurately convey the distance available at the start of a trip but you're going to know well ahead of time if you're burn rate is too high. If the non-navigation distance estimate in a Tesla is always padded you could find out well after it's too late to make it to your destination or a charging station.
Yes because I wouldn't blame her for my childs addiction. Arresting her means your child gets it from another source potential more dangerous. You need to treat the addiction not kill the messenger.

My child is probably more like her than I would want to believe. Both struggling mentally and needing help. Killing her means I'm okay with killing my own child because they shared with a friend.

But I'm not sure how big an opportunity long haul trucking is.

Rail is a good solution to going halfway across the country. Trucking is a good solution for getting from your warehouse to the store ten miles away.

Long haul truckers exist, of course, and I presume make sense in the niches they exist in, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that they're a relatively small percentage of the total trucking market.
Agree with almost everything, but

> Become a caricature of yourself.

It's not a good idea imho. People that are caricatures are easy to spot and they are usually everything but "authentic". Imho it's better to just be yourself and don't try to change in order to be liked or remembered.
As pointed out, EU law may prohibit this ... even if they are slow to act.

There is another possibility; EU countries may decide that this amounts to tacit admission by Google that the revenue generating event in ad sales happens on the browser, and ad revenue is therefore always taxable in the country where the browser (and viewer) are located.
No more laundering international revenue through tax havens.

And since Google just demonstrated such an effective verification mechanism ... well they can just repurpose it to track all such taxable revenue for the countries in question ... otherwise they might be deemed a criminal enterprise and have to be blocked nation-wide.

No need to block the useful parts, just the illegal tax-evading ad empire.

... and countries can move fast when there is a lot of money to be had ...

This is just an enormous nope for me. No better than this WEI stuff.

Whether is governmental or private action, how is it right or good that everyone has to suffer just because big tech has business model problems?
Only because Apple doesn't have enough marketshare. If everyone was using safari (probably including any browser on iOS which is just a reskin of safari) it would be just as bad. Maybe even worse, as you might get locked out of sites unless you are using apple hardware.
I drove a Tesla for over a month and it was a relief to go back to my Honda Civic. The range (both miles and %) was wildly inaccurate. If I had to drive anywhere that wasn’t a few miles within the city, I was under constant anxiety. No thank you.

It’s a wonder to me that anyone would ever trust anything Elon Musk ever says about anything. He’s a proven liar and creates an openly hostile, negative culture wherever he goes. I feel sorry for people who are caught up in his lies, either customers or employees or people who work closely with him and have to suffer his tantrums. There was a point I admired him, but that is long past.

This was my path, too. I performed exceedingly well and did the hardest things nobody raised their hand to do. This was also a startup where I had been for a while. The added company specific context and industry specific context helped.

I want to ideally press a hotkey and have the recording zoom into the area of the screen I'm interacting with the mouse, then hotkey to zoom back out to see the full application.
I wondered the same, with so much focus on performance across the blog post.
Key takeaway is that people don't consider it ( the three R's) an ordered list in terms of preference. What made this most clear to me was a full list of 5 R's.

"I hate almost everything about it."

Not owning a car only using rentals, I still think Tesla has the best and most intuitive UI. I can find everything easily, whereas in a SUVs from Skoda/VW/Audi/BMW/Renault/... it's hard to find things - at least for me.

What I do hate about the Model Ys we rented is the noise! Wind/wheel noise is as loud at 100km/h as a BMW at 150km/h - I guess they do this to safe weight and increase range, but it makes the trips very unpleasant.

Also how it randomly breaks in self driving (at least on a German Autobahn).
Your personal standards and everyone elses in the western world make up the totality of Western standards. So you would go with your local version which are Western standards because you are western.
Self driving companies want to sell us that we don't need a human operator at all. That's what the companies with large fleets of vehicles want so they the expenses of paying humans. Adding an "autopilot" to a truck while still having a human driver in the truck is not saving the company any money. Requiring a human also means that a truck cannot drive 24/7 like if it was 100% computer operated. Airlines deal with this as well by having maximum operating hours just like truck drivers.

So, unless it's 100% computer controlled, there's really not much point in it from the fleet owner's perspective
I daresay I saw this by the end of August, so I was technically correct.

Jokes aside, this is every bit as unsurprising and dumb as I had hoped it would be. It's perfect.
For the sake of anyone reading this thread who isn't in the know: many of these libraries are really written in C/C++ and have Python bindings.
My wife's car broke down, and she took my Subaru for the week, so I ended up with a Chevy Bolt. It wasn't a Tesla, but it was an eye opener for me. Cost per mile was
about the same as the Subaru, and the Subaru was a bigger car. Charging was slow and inconvenient. Range? Was really hard to predict in the Bolt because how you drive the vehicle has a big effect on what you get. I was really disappointed in the whole EV thing.
Aren't you agreeing with him?

If the power is 8x higher and the speed is 2x higher then the energy per mile must be 4x higher, as he says.
As a piece of video conferencing tech, I find it to be one of the best. I think it is the best for team calls. A few are better for really large all hands.

But I find Teams much better than Google Meet, Webex, Zoom, and many of the other usual competitors.

It's stable, the video and audio quality is good, it has very good virtual background support that works well, it can easily record calls, etc.

What Teams is very bad at is being a Slack competitor. My last employer used Teams for video calls and Slack for workplace chatting.
>Why would you want your previous driving habits to affect the base level estimation?

Because I could still just look at how much charge I had, the same way I look at how much gas I have left in the tank of my car. My old Mazda 2 gives estimated miles left in the tank based on a dead simple math calculation of average mpg for the previous X number of miles driven with only two inputs; gas consumption rate and miles driven. No time machine needed because it is an estimate and I am an adult with a functioning brain. I already know how big my gas tank is. I already know what my "EPA" mileage is. Telling me those things is not giving me an estimate, its just reminding me of what's printed in the owners manual. It is pathetic that my old cheap car gives me an actual estimate using actual data from my actual car and Tesla doesn't...until its under 50% and then suddenly its ok.
The issue I mentioned in reply to another comment below is that metformin, the medication they were having success with, is more commonly used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes.
They are already doing it with NIST CSF and most companies are following that framework because there is no better option. PCI and HIPPA are also a thing, this would be similar.

> And what would be the criteria for “legitimizing” a piece of filtering software that didn’t involve ideology?

It works across various site and content, discloses capability and passes privacy and security requirements. The details of what criteria it uses is not regulated, but what it can't use is. It can include abortion for example or not include it, but it can't include "police services" or "black people" because preventing kids from accessing the police or discriminating protected groups is not legal already. FTC cannot force companies to filter specific content, it will leave it to the market to demand lawful categories parents want to use. Even adults want this.

Realistically you could build warehouses and so on in locations and in ways that fully support access to highways in automated manner. Worst case have own ramps.

Or just build parking lot in suitable location where trucks are driven to and from.
Dominant players are in a position to abuse bundling more than smaller competitors.

To quote spiderman: "With great power comes great responsibility".

I don't think it's unreasonable to have stricter rules for bigger players but to be fair I'm not the biggest friend of MS and friends in general.

I think we would be better of with a distinct OS company and an office company and so on (multiple in fact) even if it comes at the price of "efficiency". Besides anti trust measurements to split them up, regulating BigTech is the next best thing to improve competition.

As is I'm relatively certain that microsoft does not allow most companies to opt out of "new" products like teams (and pay an appropriately cheaper price).

The Amazons and Googles of the world can probably do that, but most companies are not in such a position.

> It's illegal in all states of the US.

It's federally illegal in all states of the US. And that illegality is probably constitutional, provided that whoever is prosecuted is doing something related to interstate commerce (growing in Nevada, selling in California, for example)

It isn't clear to me that simple possession (or even a cash sale between a grower and consumer in the same state) stands up to constitutional scrutiny, in the post-Wickard v. Filburn era. So, I think you could appeal the constitutionality of federal possession charges and have them overturned on constitutional grounds.

However, the problem for MasterCard is that they are based in New York, and are engaged in selling their payment services to businesses outside New York. That's very clearly interstate commerce and thus federal laws clearly apply here.
None of these have any discussion and most barely have any upvotes. That is: it's not really a "duplicate".
What you say about the reduced range makes sense but I don't fully trust the decision on what range to show to have all the right motives in this case when many other manufcaturers (also in ICE vehicles) adjust their shown range based on recent drives.
Tesla does do this if you plan a route so they are certainly capable but unlike the mentioned toyotas, bmw's, etc they choose to use the unchanging unrealistic estimate that gets a lot of people in trouble. Given that they also stonewall when its about issues that people can't affect with their driving style or can be a matter of opinion I don't feel inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe people should adjust their behaviour and expectations.
If they are given more accurate mileage by default then it's after all much easier for them to make those considerations and realisations about what affects it.
This really is an extreme and specific example, but risks like this are why most people want lots (lots) of range and why gas/diesel cars won't die out any time soon.

The sheer ease of mind that comes with having densely packed energy that can be replenished at a moment's notice practically anywhere should not be disregarded easily. Maybe battery tech can get there some day, but it's certainly not today.
Insurance reimbursement rates already force doctors to spend too little time treating each patient.

I'm concerned that misusing LLMs would allow even shorter consultations, and that would become enshrined in reimbursement rates.
It’s functionally the same thing right?

There's a prank call podcast called The Snow Plow Show, and the guy set up a bot at a phone number that will automatically reply to callers with voice clips from a lady who yelled at him in a prank call one time. So fans of the show will put the number on windshields or craigslist ads so people will call the number and get yelled at, and the calls are all recorded so he can listen back to them later and pull out the better ones.

I think you should utilize a similar technology for your phone numbers.
