They're there if you need them - not always extremely visible though if you're not driving to one (can see the map here: https://www.tesla.com/supercharger).

If you got a Tesla you'd get a better sense for how many superchargers there are.

What you're saying is relevant though and why until recently I didn't really consider non-Tesla EVs an option to recommend if it was your only car (though now that Tesla has pivoted to opening up the superchargers to other car companies this is less of an issue).
My recollection may be a bit off, but I recall the Google Toolbar got bundled with everything. People were regularly installing it and not realizing it because it got added to installers for a whole bunch of unrelated things (accounting software, music players, archiving utilities, etc.). Then that toolbar and Google's search page kept spamming people to install Chrome, promising it to be a better Google experience. Which, I believe it was, because Google was doing proprietary things that only their web properties could take advantage of (a precursor to SPDY, I believe). Many others had it installed for them by tech support family members.

That's not to say IE was better than Chrome. I just don't think it appearing on the desktop was a deliberate decision for many. I'd be surprised if many even realized they had installed it.
I'm shocked at folks' willingness to use a browser that has a history of tampering with a user's URL input (among other shenanigans). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027&p=2 for more.

That's the bare minimum a browser is expected to do. Not touch my URLs.
Just like Avi Loeb, the Harvard astrophysicist claiming he's about to find ET. Or the MIT profs a few years ago who thought they could be billionaires with a naive bayes algo for trading bitcoin. Guess what they're doing now? Hint: still have dayjobs.

Why do you think any of these are true?
> so if you need a tall wall, you need more horizontal space for the wave and a wavey wall becomes less ideal.

Not necessarily. You might need a straight wall to be thicker or have more buttressing in that case as well. The requirements for each (waviness, thickness, buttressing) likely change to different degrees based on height, so wavy walls could become less ideal, or they could become more ideal.
>Resistance is the same as on flat ground

At the same speed, but if you don't break you likely won't have a constant speed. There's also motor efficiency, but that has less of an impact on electric vehicles because they are efficient over a high range.
It's a combination of structural variation, like with the bricks, and branding. Because as long as it's "waving" it doesn't matter how exactly it waves except in some critical areas, like where you hold it, the bottom and the top.
you need one of those new fancy GitHub EMU enterprises instead of a normal one. it is driven solely by an identity provider like Okta or AzureAD.

no one outside of your identity provider will ever know about you. your users have a read-only view of the greater github.com, but whatever access you give them within your enterprise.

it's impossible to make anything public in a GitHub EMU enterprise, and your users won't even be able to star repos outside of the enterprise, because that would reveal your presence.

if you can live without any public access to your stuff at all, have a look. you can convert your old enterprise org(s) to a Teams subscription and continue to publish open stuff there, but you'll need personal accounts there, like always.

Free ChatGPT runs 3.5. You have to upgrade to plus to use GPT-4. The APIs seem close to ChatGPT, but it’s a little opaque what they’re actually doing. If you inspect network requests the models are named something like “chat-render-3.5” instead of the API model names.

I’d imagine OpenAI might run experiments on ChatGPT that they wouldn’t on the API, to avoid breaking 3rd party applications unannounced.

From Story 77:

"... Here is a good subject for an argument or debate: Are we any happier with all these inventions than people were a thousand years ago without them?

Life is faster and more exciting; but it is more difficult and more dangerous. Instead of enjoying a book curled up in the corner of a sofa by a crackling fire, we leave a steam radiator and go out to the movies. Instead of singing or playing the violin, we turn on the graphophone or the player-piano and miss the chief joy in music, the joy of making it ourselves. Instead of the jogging drive in an old buggy behind a horse that goes along through the country-side almost by himself, we speed on in dangerous autos, to which we must pay constant, undivided attention or be wrecked..."
I LOVE this! Very excited to play around with it. This all makes so much sense and I really like the point about not assuming what the framework/builder is for. Brilliant!

I've worked with Sai for years, so I just wanted to put in a good word for PeerDB and its founders. Sai is resourceful and relentless; his energy and optimism are contagious. Kaushik complements that with deep backend and analysis skills.

Data movement is a big pain point with different players. I think it's time that there's a Postgres-centric solution out there built by a team who gets Postgres. Best of luck!
In my experience it will vary greatly with where they are grown. The ones I have gotten from Costco aren't above background.

Keep in mind that the level of uranium could be above what you'd want to consume (ideally 0ppm...ha) and still not measure on a Geiger counter. This is why I wanted to setup a scintillating detector. You have to do long running tests in a shielded chamber and look at the spectra to see what, if any, contaminates are present.
Anecdotal evidence here - I find that the API is less likely to ask questions about what you are doing and get straight to the answer.

For example, if I were to ask how to do something with burp it will just answer instead of going into the "as an AI" monologue.
The advantage of LLaMA 2 is that a company can fine tune it on the knowledge that they actually care about and then run it on their own hardware without paying API fees or relying on an unstable dependency that's constantly being tweaked.
Yeah-- I can only assume it's to ensure a consistent experience and to not disperse the model openly. If you have the model running locally on people's computers, it limits who can use the generative AI and opens up a ton of headache around customer support. Again, I don't work on this, but I'm familiar with generative AI and what it takes to run.
It’s infuriating that when they make these bills that they KNOW will rile people up and cause protest, they give them a “won’t you think of the children” name “kids online safety act”… now when you say it’s no good and needs to be modified or fought, you look like an absolute monster who doesn’t care about kids or their online safety.

These acts should be given a number as a title.
The intent of the act or bill should be clearly stated in line 1, and the act or bill itself should be required to ONLY facilitate that intent.
Kinda feels like more people should be doing this, but interacting at all with cops in America carries a nonzero chance of being abruptly murdered for no reason, so it's scary.

>Even in the distant past, during the period of cosmic inflation that occurred before the Big Bang, that background radiation was present

What does "before the Big Bang" mean? Don't space and time break down at the Big Bang singularity? Didn't cosmic inflation happen 10^-36 seconds after the Big Bang?
I'm sure that if you "slam on the brakes" (per GP), your car will take region to the max and the apply the real friction brakes, causing lots of kinetic energy to be converted to heat and "wasting" energy...

(Also, Tesla cars do have blended braking between region & friction...)
Meta releases Open Catalyst – Accelerates material science 1000x with AI
I empathize with that as I went to grad school in a school of architecture. Ended up specializing in software in their department of urban planning. Calling yourself a designer instead of an architect is just a way to be more inclusive to landscape architects, interior designers, material engineers, and everyone else who works in a the design software space.

Design thinking is just a concept for thinking about problems. Whether you're a plumber or a fashion designer, solving your problem with software first is the antithesis of design thinking. It's just a philosophy of first principles built for anyone who creates physical or digital products.
Even if we couldn’t detect them, with tech as advanced as they would have to have, are they going to be crashing on our planet so often that we need a full on program for collecting them? If it happened once, maybe. Multiple times with that level of tech? No way.
Head of World Meteorological Organization also warns ‘climate action is not a luxury but a must’ as temperatures soar

“Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” Guterres said. “It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C [above pre-industrial levels], and avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with dramatic, immediate climate action.”

“For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe, it is a cruel summer. For the entire planet, it is a disaster. And for scientists, it is unequivocal – humans are to blame.

All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here, it is terrifying, and it is just the beginning. The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.”
You should consider this possible lesson:

Good stuff! It's pretty nuts Snowflake doesn't offer an integration like this out of the box. BigQuery kind of supports this[1], but it's not easy to set up or monitor.

Also, GMail would display a prominent banner about it working better with Chrome, at the same time as it would purposely mis-function on non-Chrome browsers.

The Higgs field is and was a thing, right? In that sense, the universe has never been empty, but only in the sense of the scale and diversity of matter.
You can push a tesla in most typical push situations. Sure its heavy, but its in the ballpark of pushing any large sedan or SUV, not just electric ones. You can enable free-rolling wheels in the car and push away, especially if you have luxury of two people pushing.

The weight of a Tesla is not some unprecedented figure for a passenger car - a model 3 is no heavier than many BMW 5 series configurations etc.

The far bigger problem for pushing EVs in my experience is blown pyro-fuses that lock the axle after crashes preventing the wheels from turning - a common issue after an EV shunt. This is why you will often see EVs "dragged" out of shunts by the recovery vehicle until they can get the locked wheels onto dollies. This is only an issue if the EV being pushed has been in an impact generally, but the bar for a pyrofuse blow seems to be low too - it will trip even if airbags haven't deployed. The wheels on many EV motor axles wont turn again until the pyrofuse is replaced.

I think the earlier example that required a full recovery truck - that sounds exactly like a blown pyrofuse, which is by far the most common reason an EV ends up requiring a full lift/dollies rather than a simple tow on its own axles.

This is also why you generally always smell burning in the cabin after a tesla shunt too - nothing to do with a battery fire, its the smell of the pyrofuse burning out under the rear passenger seat.

Interesting that the video of levitation isn't mentioned at all in this rebuttal.

Assuming the scientists acted in good faith and this isn't a complete scam, maybe we found something else that doesn't conform to our current understanding of superconductors, but does levitate over a magnetic field at ambient temp/pressure.
Right but most people buy cars for the totality of the driving they have to do, not just the majority. I bought a car specifically because I was tired of the awful rental experience, so "just rent when you need to go on a longer drive" is not a viable solution.
People were arguing about this earlier (some claimimg the opposite) but I didn't see a conclusion. Do you have an external citation handy?
Wouldn't an insurance company naturally want to avoid the additional liability of personal, unlicensed repairs? What if someone improperly repairs the brakes on their own car and they fail on the road, causing a collision?

There was just a study published which proposed to show amphetamines of all kinds, actually decreased productivity, and significantly delayed time-to-resolution of cognitive problem solving tests...it also did show the people on the amphetamines vastly overestimate their productivity "boost" from the drugs. Obviously, devil's in the details.
Ok, but if they said as much why then would people shift resources to try and 'rediscover' something that may take years? Not saying it, means people will pursue the fabrication more readily.

I heard your point nonetheless. It was just a question I asked in the larger thread and wanted more input. Thanks.
I think "Rear Parking Assist" would be better phrased as "Rear Proximity Sensors", as the "Automatic Parking Assist" (which is what I thought we were discussing) only brings a (likely statistically insignificant) marginal risk reduction of 2% and seems to fall under the "bullshit convenience" category. I do agree that the proximity sensors are themselves huge wins but (if I'm understanding correctly) this could be fairly trivially conveyed on the dashboard instead of the infotainment system.

As I see it, the issue here is that it's in automakers interest to tie together the safety improvements (which are great and benefit people) with the cost-reduction mechanisms consolidating controls and monitors into a single screen which seem to conflate operation with infotainment and, I would argue, reduce peoples' safety.

This is only tangentially related but different to the repair question, so I modified what I said a bit to reflect I was going off topic.
GPT4 is more difficult to measure I think. The value I get from GPT4 is in the details it gets right on very obscure, complex questions. I'm not sure benchmarks are capturing how far GPT4 is ahead of other models. For simple stuff it's not that much better than 3.5.
Amen to this. In a tabloidish sense.

I read the title and thought "duh". Maybe others were intrigued and clicked, but for me, this is just obvious. I had lots of legos, and own more now as a grandpa than, er, uh, I should. I guess spatial reasoning about bricks just is second hand at this point.

What the article likely leaves out, is that the all of the "corner only" touch points are going to create a more "pourous" wall. And collection points for crap.
It sometimes seems that way, but when you look at how people lived without computers things were worse. Cars in the 1930s were not fuel efficient, polluted a lot, and you have to do things like file the points every couple months. I remember when you called buildings not people - the phone was attached to the wall, and what just a voice device, it didn't hold Wikipedia or current maps to everywhere. However we forget how bad the past really want.

It depends on the quench current, but yeah, maglev, hoverboards, much cheaper MRI machines, less reliance on the diminishing helium reserves, lower cost experimental fusion reactors and particle accelerators too. That last could lead to progress speeding up in that research as more people can try stuff. Lower cost for power transmission would make renewables that are geographically limited more usable. Also coil and rail guns would probably proliferate... If the quench current is high enough you could see handguns that charge on usb-c and are not legally firearms in any nation I'm aware of. Quite a disruptor.
I'm gonna take a stab at this because I don't think it's that complicated.

Design thinking is a methodology for designing things, often products. It has 5 steps:

1. Empathize. Find your intended user and try to understand them, their expectations, wants, needs, and fears.

2. Define. Based on understanding your user, what are you trying to actually do? What are the problem(s) you want to solve for the user?

3. Ideate. Get a bunch of people in a room and have a no-judgement brainstorming fest around solving the problem(s) you defined. Come up with a ton of ideas! Then look at them all critically and remove the less priomising ones.

4. Prototype. Make MVPs for a promising idea or ideas.

5. Test. Take your MVP to your target user. See how they react. Go back to prototype and adjust the idea based on feedback, or pick a different idea out of the ideation process if this one is a bust. Repeat until your prototype is good enough that you're confident to scale up.

Within each of these steps, there are a few tools/techniques you can learn to structure them more if you like. There are also no shortage of experts and consultants who will take your money to expound on the finer points of each part of the process. You can go as deep into the rabbit hole as is useful.
