Then don't complain about Chrome taking over the Web.
> We've never owned a gas vehicle that met it's EPA range and the Tesla is no different. No one takes EPA MPG * GALLONS of gas and expects it to be a real life estimate of range.

Why is this exactly? It's been true - MPG is lower than estimated - of every vehicle I've owned too except for my most recent, a '23 MX-5 (i.e. a sports car, which I tend to drive at higher RPMs and in lower gears.) I'm getting spot-on or a little above the EPA estimated on the car I'd least expect it.

(edited to clarify "it's been true")
IIRC these keys are often produced in batches to help protect anonymity so revoking them may have undesirable impact on the bystanders who happen to have a key in the same batch.

So if we could reliably extract keys it may be enough to break this. (or force TPM makers to have per-device keys instead of per-batch keys)
Except they did not fix anything. The battery readout was lying as so ordered by Musk. This caused people to complain, wanting it fixed. Instead of fixing it (in a service centre or remotely) they lied some more. What's so hard to parse here?
No, that’s not what otaku means. Otaku can be completely disconnected from Anime, and if it is about Anime then it does not have to be connected to girls. The other way around liking the detective series conan or ghibli movies doesn’t make somebody otaku, just like enjoying a Disney movie doesn’t make you a cartoon nerd.
Most likely you want the smallest curve that’s achieves an acceptable amount of stability. Since the wave exists to prevent the wall from toppling, a pure sine is probably overkill.

So I guess a factor then will be how tall your wall is. A very tall wall will need a deep wave, just like a wall one brick high would need no wave at all.
My 3LR gets about 260 miles of usable range on a summer road trip, first leg. 200 miles per charge after that (assuming 10% to 80% charges). This is for temperate summer trips getting 260 Wh/mi. If it's hot, make that 280 Wh/mi because of air conditioning. If it's winter, make that 320 Wh/mi.

The car is rated at 358 miles of range. I knew that was bunk when I bought it, just going off the numbers on the window sticker suggests hitting 358 is a pipe dream. You can do it, but only on back roads at slower speeds.

For road trips you're better off just driving like a bat out of hell and charging only to 60% if you can, you will spend less clock time overall that way.

As others have noted, you should switch the battery display to percentage to be less irritated by the lies. The car knows your average and could use it, but instad just uses the unrealistic EPA estimate for that display. My wife drives a Bolt and sometimes shows less than EPA rated range when full, but OTOH it's always dead-on.
For people who hate beans, try the midnight black beans. Cook until they're just soft enough to eat comfortably (play around with that threshold a bit, but aim to not overcook).
> - Driving on the highway rather than around town (see the 50 MPH comment)

That would greatly depend on the town one is picturing. In pretty much any neighborhood in LA, there's no way you're going to sustain a speed of 50 mph for any reasonable period of time without frequently stopping at intersections, your usual traffic congestion, pedestrians wandering into the street, other drivers making idiotic maneuvers, etc. No way is your mileage going to be better on surface streets even if you do your best to reach 50 mph but not exceed it. Frequently braking and accelerating requires more gas than will be eaten up by driving at a constant speed of 65 mph.
I second this! The first time I heard about the book was somewhere here on Hacker News and I gave it a chance and it was really good (specially because I too am excited about reading everything about what was done in the Xerox PARC).
Literally the first paragraph of the piece:

> He expected to get something close to the electric sport sedan’s advertised driving range: 353 miles on a fully charged battery.

> He soon realized he was sometimes getting less than half that much range

We’re not talking about a couple of miles here or there.

And if Tesla discovered that range issues (even if entirely based around customer perception) were a widespread enough issue to set up a team specifically to address it, that team said nothing publicly and instead cancelled service appointments without explanation… that’s absolutely newsworthy, whether you consider it a “hit piece” or not.

> Inside the Nevada team’s office, some employees celebrated canceling service appointments by putting their phones on mute and striking a metal xylophone, triggering applause from coworkers who sometimes stood on desks. The team often closed hundreds of cases a week and staffers were tracked on their average number of diverted appointments per day.

I mean... c'mon.
I've never heard a good story about a caravan, period! I do sometimes wonder if caravans are particularly crap vehicles for intrinsic reasons, or if targeting families means you have to cut costs which reduces quality (kids are $$$$$$), or if perhaps the driving habits of young families (lots of short trips) are particularly rough on vehicles of that type. Maybe all three conspiring.

IDK about Kia, except that they're doing pretty well on the EV front compared to other legacies. But in general, 10 years is at least one product cycle, so I guess it's not that surprising that reputations-vs-reality mismatches appear on that time frame. It is weird though.
The complexity with S3 or Backblaze B2 is the granular pricing for various operations on the service. It’s difficult to optimize costs compared to a fixed “$X per GB” pricing that’s easier for people to understand and forecast expenses a bit more easily. Other than that, rsync.net provides the same pricing for different days center locations, which means there is some subsidization going on.

There are services like rsync.net that support borg at a lower price. Borgbase is one of them. I haven’t used either of these.
> Then cassettes got replaced with CDs which (initially) were read only, which again saved the market from piracy

CD players hit the market in the mid 80s (I got my first one in 1988). The effect of cassette tapes would have really hit in the late 70s and early 80s as high bias tapes hit the market. In the 90s, CD players became affordable. Also, there was a big price difference between a cassette and a CD. Cassette was about $8 for a new album, CD was $14.
A lot of random noise, for sure. But also as much signal as there is to be had in this world. And even noise is usually interesting when it's so highly personalized. Which maybe means there is far less noise than people think?
But the example from the article wasn't about a sub 1% delta. It was someone getting less than half the estimated ranged.
At some point, we will need to define which of the illegal maneuvers are expected vs which ones are unexpected.

In the mean time, I expect a lot of lawsuits and weird insurance decisions.
One has to imagine the build, test, release iteration cycle for consumer-grade transportation is quicker than commercial trucking. Most trucks have an expected life of 30-40yrs vs 3-10yrs for passenger vehicles (yes, the used auto market exists but luxury buyers always buy the new model). Electrification is a major component in any fleet-based strategy going forward, and that’s going to happen quicker on passenger vehicle platforms than commercial trucks as well.

Also, the potential damage and liability differential between a 90,000lb freight truck and a 4000lb passenger vehicle has to factor in, too. All collisions and fatalities are unfortunate, but better to limit the liability early on in the scaling phase and come back to commercial trucking later once the company and tech are further along.
Huh what? Doesn’t do any weird hacks? Where do I even start…ok try and turn off the updater on macOS using the systemctl command…all that does is prevent the auto updater from running…what happens after that is Teams will crash every 5 minutes after launching.
You want more weird privacy breaking dark patterns? Try initiating a Teams call from your phone without giving it access to your local network. You can’t. If I, the user, decide I’d rather not allow Teams to nmap my local network, or decide there aren’t any conferencing devices, Microsoft doesn’t care. Expose your local network or you can’t make any calls to anyone.

And you want to talk about user experience…if you go afk, you stop receiving all new messages…that is until you move your mouse again. Dark mode can’t be synced to the system on Mac. Native notifications weren’t a thing on Mac until like a year ago. Performance is horrid. Click anything, change channels, press any button and you’re waiting hundreds of milliseconds if not seconds! The only cure for that is using a souped up M1/2 processor.
The list goes on. Teams might be better than webex or Skype but that bar is loooooooow.
Oh I am in full agreement. I think its a generational thing though where younger folks might prefer looking in yt first for instructional types of things rather than a QA site.
Chrome was much faster than FF at launch. FF only caught up recently.

It seems to me that they plan on "fixing" that bug in this API by requiring hardware attestation from the start.

What you should and shouldn’t trust is entirely subjective, I have no reason not to trust the stats Tesla has released. If Autopilot wasn’t good enough to warrant releasing those stats, they simply wouldn’t.

You’ll have to do some deeper statistical analysis to discredit what they’re saying.
> It's easy to stop using these products [...]

Well, the definition of addictive is quite literally "cannot stop doing once you have started" (Cambridge dictionary), so not really.

I do see your point, though, I grew up without social media nor internet so I have plenty of offline things I like doing. But you have to consider that most of these young kids grew up with social media and mobile games as their primary, and often only, source of entertainment. Their addictive nature makes it really hard for them to find other interests in life, especially considering that parents often leave their kids on the smartphone to keep them quiet.
That is on the roadmap :)
Safari already has WEI, but nobody cares about that.
The idea of decentralized hierarchical LLMs is interesting but your chosen example is not a good illustration as all three of these data sources are small and insufficient, any model trained solely on any of them will not be a good model for anything. Other things being equal, data quality and domain matters a lot, but a hundredfold increase in data quantity makes an even larger difference.

Datasets like those can be used for fine tuning a pretrained LLM towards a specific domain, but for decent (not even state of art, just anything usable) results you need a large enough dataset to learn English and general world knowledge, and for that the preferable size is "almost everything you can get your hands on", as in, the quantity you'd want to train on is larger than the quantity of good data you can realistically get. Like, the 800 GiB of text at https://pile.eleuther.ai/ is a good start, but if you could get ten times more data (as some of the big companies probably do, since they have access to lots of user-generated non-public text), you should definitely use that.

If you want targeted LLMs then IMHO the proper mindset for data choice is "take everything that you can out of what humanity has ever written and then pick out of that the most suitable 20% for your needs" and that would give much better results than any single dataset that's only Wikipedia-sized.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Does medium pay enough for that to be worthwhile?
> The product is an incredible horror show, all competition easily crushed Teams.

Yes, except that it has a killer feature: absolute integration with office365. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to you, but for companies that is a very big factor.

It sounds like a terrible solution to an easy problem. And calling it an "algorithmic solution" is being generous, considering that our dead simple decade old Mazda 2 gives us a closer than 25% range estimate just based on the mpg for the previous X number of miles driven. That's not an algorithm, that is a simple math calculation with only two inputs; gas consumption rate and miles driven. Tesla, with thousands of data points on previous usage and driver behavior, could give you an almost dead accurate estimate, but chooses to give a basically useless estimate because it looks better. Then people come around and make ridiculous excuses for it and why its actually a “decent solution” (it isn’t) to a “hard problem” (its not).
Exactly. It's been a while and so a lot people either don't remember or were too young to really remember.

I was a Firefox user at the time (was using it when it was Firebird). People were already starting to shift away from IE towards Firefox at the time. A sequence of events where a person's computer was infect with malware, they asked a computer savvy friend for help, the friend "fixed" it, installed Firefox and told them to stop using IE is how most people switched browsers in those days. But Firefox was a slog and Chrome was a breath of fresh air when it was first released. So the sequence was tweaked to "install Chrome and tell you to stop using IE".

Chrome became what it is because Microsoft had tried to neuter the internet because they saw the web app potential and understood that it could undermine Windows market share. And when they realized that there was no stopping the internet, they spent several years incompetently trying to improve IE (and eventually Edge) before eventually going the "can't beat em, join em" route.
You don't know what you don't know. I'd assume any significant timeline involves broadening our understanding of thermodynamics and material science. I don't think its far fetched to presume that another species is further along on the Kardashev scale.

The cynic in me wants to say that you could be very concise with the language you choose to use when communicating with law enforcement. You are not obligated to hand-over the footage, but I can understand your willingness to assist. My concern is that, now that you know your footage may contain evidence, or if it does actually contain evidence (which you may not know is material to their investigation), then if they believe you are withholding it intentionally, you might be accused of evidence tampering.

I'd not volunteer any further information until they reach out to you again, then I would say something to the affect of "I am unable to provide this footage as, to the best of my knowledge, I do not know to extent to which it exists and do not know how to it can be retrieved. This information is with Google."

Here is the timeline again:

2022/11/11: A viral tweet claims GPT-4 will have "100 trillion parameters."[1] At this point, there were no rumors about mixture of experts.

2023/01/16: In an interview, Sam Altman mentions he saw the tweet and it was "complete bullshit."[2]

2023/06/20: geohotz and the lead of PyTorch, two people who would be expected to have relevant connections, claim that GPT-4 is an 8 x 220B mixture of experts model.[3]

These are two separate, unconnected rumors. One was denied by Sam Altman and was never plausible in the first place. The other was never denied and is highly plausible. You are conflating them by claiming, without any source, that there was "a clear denial from OpenAI's CEO" that "GPT4 is a trillion parameter mixture of experts model."

It's a tough problem, because the situations in which fast build times matter are mostly during local development and test. Only at really insane scales do they become a problem for production releasing and CI/automated testing. An environment variable that can be set on a dev workstation globally (and overridden with CLI flags) would probably be sufficient for opt-in
From 2001, but still prescient.

Also explains why I once had to wait for more than two years to get a simple website from corporate IT. They treated it as an “information management solution” and wasted time to integrate that across the company. After someone finally had the mercy to stop this, it took 2 months for what I had originally asked for.
Understanding your signals is important. And be careful what you measure.
You're ignoring all the times the stackoverflow answers also provide zero information, so this is not a balanced assessment. Prompting LLMs correctly to get high quality answers is a skill.
Cannot stress enough how every framework for development that starts with "npm install" is inaccessible to most amateurs by its very nature.

I'm not sure what drives developers to be so insular with thought and make so many assumptions about others. It seems like basic gate-keeping activity, but maybe it's just ignorance.

The docs do a really poor job of explaining what value the framework is bringing to the table. I’d contrast that to HTMX, Vue, Svelte and many other frameworks that do. (You may or may not like those frameworks but they all stand for something.). Even the new React documents do a great job of explaining they value of React even though React is so established it could easily have a “your team is using React, everybody is using React, you will use React” attitude. Instead “enhanced” jumps right into “Meet the new Javascript routing framework, same as the old Javascript routing framework”.

Maybe it is “No Javascript” in the same sense that software vendor Salesforce.com had the tagline “No software”.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t optical kerning a fallback option for fonts that have no special kerning rules? When would you use it over the font designer’s hand-specified kerning?

You should have higher expectations of your vehicle.

My 2016 ICE car's "miles left" meter is accurate to +/- 2 miles from the moment I top up the tank (80% highway driving, 20% hilly city and rolling country roads).

IMO, accurately telling the vehicle operator how many miles of juice you have left is a KPI, as it informs when you'll need to plan for refueling.

Having driven an EV for a few weeks in identical conditions, this inaccuracy is probably the major contributor to "range anxiety". I have no idea whether I'll need to recharge in 60 miles or in 25 miles, and that's totally unacceptable in most parts of the US (where there aren't available chargers every 5 miles of your trip).
And yet, you could have told me the exact opposite was true - that increasing knowledge and experience created increased joy in experiences like wine instead of less, and a large segment of people would have also said it was obvious.
We need to halt the closed development of closed-source/closed-data AI platforms, including development under the military-industrial complex. We’ll never legislate away AI development, but given the hardware requirements, we could quite effectively legislate away closed-source/closed-dataset AI development.

A commonly repeated concern is that if WEI is implemented, banks will leap on it and it will become infeasible to do online transactions at most banks without either using a WEI-blessed software / hardware configuration or the bank's app in a commercial app store.

Per-capita is absolutely a useful metric when you're asking other countries to take on a burden. When we ask developing nations to reduce their emissions, they rightly point out that this will harm their citizens' living standards. A very good response to this objection would be to prove that we can maintain US-quality living standards while emitting much less per-capita CO2 than China or India do today. Unfortunately (and despite some modest reductions) we're giving them exactly the opposite example, and they're making decisions accordingly.
