> computer only can assume based on average usage

It is clear from the discussion that it isn’t basing it on that at all. Would be overjoyed if it was based on average efficiency for the last 50 miles I drove. It isn’t.
I never knew Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce were God, it doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about theology to refute it.

This show gets a lot of negativity thrown at it, but damn do I miss this show. Something about it, even in the later seasons which were definitely adjusted for a wider audience it seems, were still very enjoyable for me.
I'm using a Chromebook 100% of the time. It's a great experience. The primary limitation is that the dev environment is a bit quirky - it's not running directly on the virtual machine, instead it's in a container. This can lead to some weird stuff when you're trying to do other containery things or if you need to run a nested virtual machine.

I've created a script to set up an EC2 instance, rsync changes from my project directories over to it, and manage the instance state to save money. This pretty much solves any issues.

I really like a couple of things:

1. It is the only OS that "just works" for me. It's the only non-Windows that I can actually plug multiple monitors into and not have it flip out and freeze for minutes.

2. It keeps risky stuff (code development) isolated from sensitive stuff (web browsing). If I SSO in my web browse and install malware in my devbox I'm actually pretty safe.

3. I get to use debian, which works well for me.

4. It's the only OS that feels truly multiuser. I can `ctrl + alt + .` to switch desktops to a totally different user and users are completely isolated with distinctly encrypted directories so if one person is logged in and another isn't you can't just access their stuff. This worked really well when I was using ChromeOS for work since my work profile was very isolated from my personal environment - I could follow 'work profile' stuff like "only install these extensions" while doing whatever I wanted in my personal profile.

Basically it's everything I want in a laptop and nothing I don't want. The main limitation is the VM, but the limitations are sorta niche - I doubt many people need to run Firecracker.
Yes, I think it's a case of the engineer finding a connector that doesn't expose the CC pins (where the resistors go), and not even realizing that something is missing when they update a design from microusb to usb-c.
If neutral is connected to the physical ground at multiple points you have a quite dangerous electrical fault, and should get it resolved.

https://www.mikeholt.com/mojonewsarchive/GB-HTML/HTML/Neutra...

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2649182/so-why-is-it-bad-t...

(Basically, and probably wrong in all the right ways, if you are using ground as neutral somewhere, you can be shocked because a breaker will NOT throw when it should, and you can be shocked to death by a neutral/return line just as easily as a hot line when it is being used.)

(This does NOT mean that your single connection to ground shouldn't be multiple ground rods, as you want that connection to be as low-impedance as possible, as it helps to ground out large surges such as lightning, etc.)
> Of course, I believe the climate crisis is the most important problem in the world. However I don't think former colonial powers have any right to say or rather lecture former colonised countries on their obligations, when the colonial powers haven't properly addressed why the colonised countries are in the state they are in.

Words and lectures are irrelevant. Only what the First World can do—including influencing the Third World—matters.

> It is also not just at the feet of former colonial powers, the US wasn't a coloniser but did have a tremendous imperial influence throughout the Third World that has stymied progress and thrown Third World countries into a debt trap that they cannot escape (unfortunately China is doing the same these days). This needs to be addressed too.

I guess “stymied progress” is a way of phrasing it.

And what about the Philippines?
Then again, I've walked on the streets of both countries, and Singapore is incredibly more clean, orderly and safe than France.
I have never worked with super conductors, but I did talk with people who have and read every comment on hacker news. From what I can gather, people already make YBCO superconductors in their garage, and this doesn't seem much different in difficulty. Many people have said that it's simple enough that they expect youtube tutorials on how to make it in a week or two.
Navigation data may include altitude changes. Weather data along the route gives you temperature. The driver’s history tells you how likely they are to speed versus drive the speed limit.
This is the core of my challenges:

> sometimes it’s necessary to run a container that hasn’t been compiled for aarch64

I have several containers in that boat, for which no ARM versions exist at all. Those containers were previously using QEMU to emulate x86 on ARM linux (in Docker's VM on an ARM Mac). That emulation encountered the failures I described, and was slow.

Switching to use Rosetta 2 in Docker solved the problems; the process for enabling it is described here: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/docker-on-apple-silicon-mac...

Something I don't know and am curious about is how Docker-for-Mac is actually using Rosetta 2. Is it running an additional Linux VM containing an x86 Linux OS, and running that VM through a Rosetta-2-enabled hypervisor? Or is Rosetta 2 distributed as a Linux program that is being invoked inside Docker's pre-existing aarch64 Linux VM instead of (or inside of?) QEMU?

Edit: as for your question:

> if you have no Linux system involved because you have no VM, how would that work?

That's not my situation, so I'm not sure.
Probably no significant impact, and probably no significant difference between the two. It's angled so it largely doesn't touch the capsule (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Apollo_Pad_Abort_Tes...) and the capsule is made to keep the occupants safe through reentry, which reaches higher temperatures and lasts much longer than the second or two the pad abort rockets fire.

(It might even be less heat impact to the capsule than the Dragon-style rockets, as the hot spent rocket remains on the capsule; Apollo-style abort towers jettison.)
No one today wants to build railroads, not without being able to make folks like you and me pay for it to an extent that they can make an excess profit. Trains aren't nearly as profitable (if at all) as automobiles because, for the same amount of freight, you are only able to sell to far fewer individual owners and a highly reduced frequency. There are far more opportunities to overcharge the customer if you have thousands of potential renters or buyers, or millions if you can also sell to everyday people.

Plus there's no status to be had from investing in rail, but plenty of it from some hip young people promising trucks of the future today! After all, if Elon is [saying he is] doing it, how can you not believe?
There needs to be a way to do this same thing with MediaTek and Snapdragon ARM-based Chromebooks. MediaTek and Qualcomm need to let their firmware and bootloaders allow ARM-based Linux distros to be installed on bare metal. Too many cheap Chromebooks that schools purchase use ARM-processors and get consigned to the e-cycle bin when they can continue to be useful low-end machines if only we could easily get pure Linux on them.
Haven't seen the code, so I don't know how it works. It certainly looks at the route though, because different destinations both 100 miles away give different estimated power usages.
The car is probably warm by the time it goes below 50%.

Such number is a difficult problem. The Tesla number doesn’t represent anything meaningful. I personally have the state of charge set in % and not distance.

I used to have a BMW that was guessing the range based on the last driving conditions. It was very bad too. Driving downhill in a warm day was producing big range numbers the next day. Driving uphill in a snow storm would make you want to have the car checked for battery degradation.
Wait, the post says iceweasel but the link is iceraven, are they the same thing? This was on the default browser one of the times I tried LineageOS, this was back in 2019 or so. I could be misremembering the specific fork.
I believe it needs a minimum of 48 hours in the furnace. If labs started right away after the paper hit Arxiv we should be hearing about results soon.

The reason is optimizing for lower cost.
Ping me if you actually take this up: it's something I've taken up as a "lifetime project" but am doing this in a very manual process currently.
Yes the sensors on the car are now time machines that can figure out what the cars future conditions are going to be.

Why would you want your previous driving habits to affect the base level estimation? Your driving today could be vastly different, and then you would be here complaining about how wrong it was and the range anxiety you got when the car vastly underestimated your range because it assumed you were in 40 mph traffic when today you were late and speeding 80 mpg down the highway.
What? How did you arrive at that conclusion. Even if the laws of thermodynamics and entropy took a holiday, and you recovered 100% of the energy when you brake, at best you would break even and not hurt your range (vs not braking aggressively).

Regen breaking increases range over no regen braking, but braking aggressively will always be worse than not braking aggressively.
And we all thought Tesla's success was only because of innovation and perseverance ?

I hope they were.
"Consumer experience" seems like such a strange way to frame this research, when it's just about the general flattening of pleasurable activities over time as they're repeated.
I'm only wildly guessing here, but most likely the "cloud storage" backing all those managed databases is actually S3-like blob storage under the hood.
That makes sense. But if Tesla is going to do that, surely their less informed estimation shouldn't be so naive and use historic data. Why would Tesla guess I'm in stop and go traffic when it knows I spend 80% of my time on a highway. Shouldn't it aim for either the most accurate or most conservative naive number?

As the article points out, it also switches to a significantly more accurate estimation once the battery is half discharged.

This really shouldn’t be read as a defense of EV companies, but I think there is just a learning curve for EVs which people really haven’t grappled with yet.

Here is a minor list of things which will reduce range pretty significantly:

- Driving over 50 MPH

- Using the AC

- Using the heat

- Driving in extreme cold or extreme heat

- Driving in an area with a lot of hills. (From what I can tell regenerative braking makes up less than it loses for a given hill. If anyone can correct me here, let me know)

- Accelerating more than necessary

- Not making full use of regenerative braking

- Driving on the highway rather than around town (see the 50 MPH comment)

Are these concessions OK? Is it just a matter of better education and more honest marketing? That’s sort of for everyone to decide collectively. One thing that is for sure is that EVs have a totally different set of quirks and limitations than ICE vehicles, and that will have to be adjusted for one way or another. It’s also worth noting that most of the things listed above _also_ adversely affect ICE vehicles, however not necessarily as much, or it’s not felt directly because getting gas is very convenient.

It also strikes me that anything which adversely affects MPG in an ICE vehicle can also be said to “reduce range.” You’re losing miles off your current tank of gas. Presumably because the range is so small, and recharge opportunities are so limited, this affects people in EVs more strongly than in ICE vehicles. Perhaps if both were improved (battery capacity and charging infrastructure) then these concerns would evaporate.
I see this a lot in the rural US with wooden fences but had no idea why it was done, but I guess its for the same reason (stability). Apparently they've done it since the 1600s.

https://www.louispage.com/blog/bid/11160/worm-fence-what-is-...

Still, this seemed totally unecessary until I realized this mean they dont have to put any posts into the ground. No digging holes, which would be really nice when you're trying to fence up very large acreage.
Well.. i'll be damned. I've been wanting to toy with LLMs on a local-only and simple "command<->LLM glue" style development. If i understand this project right.. it looks like Chidori implements most of the foundational stuff i wanted to do. Notably defining commands (nodes in this, i think?), monitoring node IO and LLM IO, etc.

Looks like i'll need to give this a try. Awesome!

edit: My goal is single binary local-only install though, so sounds like Chidori struggles here due to OpenAI required. Unfortunate for now

All these elites always want to know what we plebs are running. The governments want Venmo to report anything that adds up to over $600 a year to the IRS. FATCA travel rule pushes all countries to do the same, for $1K but FINCEN has lobbied for as low as $250!

Meanwhile the Pentagon can’t account for trillions, and both parties give them more money than they even ask for. We have government officials in constant secret meetings, failing to avert disasters, then the plebs have to fight.

I say — we should have attestation that the server is running verified code, the one that was audited by third parties that I accept! That would be what I always wanted on the Web. Instead, they only do it the other way.

We the People have to rise up and demand that Google implements a standard that uses SGX extensions or whatever, to guarantee that the code managing the website matches the audited code. This is long overdue! It is also why we use smart contracts and Web3 for now.

All I really want, on the mobile Web, is a way to visit a URL that has a content hash, and it will load a static file matching a content hash, and save it so it’s always available locally. That’s it! So I can trust the code. Without having to install an extension. Instead Apple clears everything after 7 days, making it useless! And SRI only works for subresources. Which means the server can be hacked and serve malicious code to me anytime!

Why do they call it a 'secret team'? Why do they call it 'complaints'?

As said in the article, these are not complaints, but service appointments. Creating a team to handle these unnecessary appointments is completely normal. There's nothing secret about this team.
I've mentioned this in a sibling thread, but it's interesting to compare this to Ruby. Ruby does support the sort of redefinition you're talking about. And yet REPL-centric development isn't primary there, either. Yes, there are very good REPL implementations, but I don't know of anyone who develops at the Ruby REPL the same way you would in a Lisp REPL. Maybe it's a performance thing? Maybe it's the lack of images?
Not to mention the outbound guns. It’s two way trade at this point, and one reason our official gun ownership statistics are so skewed (no, 25% of Americans don’t own 10 guns each, those guns are just in Mexico and Central America).

Tangentially related; as covered in The Blue Factory documentary[1], one of the challenges with the EB110's design was its flat sides. Curved body panels provide greater strength and importantly, reduces vibrations.

Not defending Tesla but battery range is really hard without context. Kinetic energy is velocity^2, which means moving twice the speed takes 4X the energy. They probably can get the right estimate for a destination because it knows the speed limit for the route and using that as your velocity can give you a better answer.

I think that resentment comes from feeling like you "wasted" your life to make someone else's life better in the future. It's obvious to feel that since we're all selfish to some degree. But ultimately it's self-sacrificial for the betterment of others, which isn't really highlighted or praised in American society outside of military service.
He's a fictional conversation [1] between an economist and physicist where they discuss this very premise:

Economist: Hi Tom, I’m [ahem..cough]. I’m an economist.

Physicist: Hey, that’s great. I’ve been thinking a bit about growth and want to run an idea by you. I claim that economic growth cannot continue indefinitely.

Economist: [chokes on bread crumb] Did I hear you right? Did you say that growth can not continue forever?

Physicist: That’s right. I think physical limits assert themselves.

Perhaps if malicious countries are engaging in cybercrime in your country, you should disconnect them from your countries internet/phone connections. This would get them to behave right quick or suffer the effects of sanctions. It ain't perfect, but it's better than saying "there's nothing we can do, dude".
We have a decade old Mazda 2 that gives you an estimated range for your tank based on the average of the last several miles you drove. With all the data Tesla has available, it not being able to give anything other than EPA range is pathetic. A simple calculation based on your last trip range and your current trip range would get you way closer that 20-25% off and Tesla can’t be bothered, or intentionally doesn’t use, something so basic. Not to mention that Tesla should be able to learn that you commute Monday through Friday in stop and go, and take a couple highway trips on most weekends, and calculate a close to dead accurate range, but decided it looks better to give a range estimate that is basically a lie.
The labor to build such a wall may dominate the savings in brick. But if you're building a brick wall, maybe you don't care much about either.

I completely agree. I was a very low performer at my previous job. I was bored, didn't like the mission, my team got shipped away due to office politics, and small incidents with management wore me down after the first year.

I mostly did nothing the last few months, but everything I did was correct. Not that it was perfect, there is always stuff to be improved, but the little I did was good enough, filled the requirements and was documented both outside (what it does, for the lead engineer and management) and inside the code (how it works, for the poor soul who would inherit the mission).

Maybe it's a tale I tell myself, but I like to think I wasn't a net negative overall.

Violent for sure. However Singnapore seems to have a lot of other societal problems under control via the threat of harsh punishment. Same as the UAE (or they’ll just kick you out, since many aren’t naturalized citizens)

I don’t agree with the harsh punishments, though many western cities are being over taken by drugs, crime, and homelessness.

The current policies we have in places like LA and Seattle do not work, it’s plainly evident. Should we be more brutal in our punishments? Not necessarily. But we’ve tried this experiment since asylums were shut down decades ago, and it doesn’t seem to have produced the outcome expected.
