> your city is unlivable and your block is terrorized by drug addicts

This is hyperbole, I live in one of the rougher neighborhoods. The city gov especially the mayor and his cronies have done nothing to actually fix problems, they just do expensive sweeps and cleanup without addressing root causes.
That is not the paper mentioned in the press release, that's a different paper on the drug published in 2018 by the same group. The current paper is here:

vim+markdown+pandoc for me. Works great, especially since I'd rather edit anything in vim rather than any other environment.

In addition to writing books, I've also used this to make epub conversions of existing books.

If you're writing for a publisher, a lot of them prefer barebones formatting anyway so they can do the page layout themselves.
> That's also an outlier, but less than 30k isn't which makes this post somewhat misleading (at best).

I don't disagree that this _isn't_ misleading in a way but it's also important to consider that most EVs are subject to what you said right after:

> Ford's cars are probably too expensive because they ignored the EV market for a decade and it takes time to scale up production and reduce costs.

Notably that Tesla still isn't at a scale of production where walking off the lot with a < $30k vehicle is possible! There usually isn't a lot to walk off of, but its rare that the base model will be available at all!

Most of the cars they are producing are not the base package, and likely will never be. The thing about supply chains here is that the "base model" is a much smaller percentage of actual manufacturing. Most of the time if a manufacturer were to produce 1M units a year, less than 30% will be the very base model. I'm not sure there are clear numbers published anywhere, but you can bet that while the "base model" might seem affordable you're unlikely to find it due to the same supply chain constraints — Tesla would much rather up-sell you to some package above the base model and availability is restricted as-is, so which customers do you think they'll prioritize? Tesla isn't even producing millions of units yet (I think last year was just over 600k?), and this is just a drop in the bucket in the number of cars purchased each year.

> I'd guess this is because Ford can't profitably make an affordable sedan (they can't do so without losing a lot of money) so they need to make a more expensive vehicle with better margins, Tesla did this too of course - they just had a decade head start while the legacy manufacturers did nothing.

They don't "need" to make larger vehicles with better margins, they just prefer to have better margins. A lot of this is a downstream effect of CAFE exemptions on "light trucks," which applies to both SUVs and modern pick-up trucks. I guess my disagreement here isn't that they "can't" make sedans unless you're defining "can't" in terms of "what the shareholders said." We can absolutely regulate these things and it would probably be beneficial to do so.

As for why Tesla isn't making massive trucks? EV physics (weight of batteries vs. amount of energy to move said weight) somewhat preclude this, but counterpoint there is that Tesla is making a truck and wants to be on top of that market. Sedans are in a weird space with EVs since the added weight kind of puts you in a range<->weight arms race. While most people probably don't need as much range as they think they do, you end up picking between the atrocious Hummer EV or a Model 3 (which is still very large for most of the trips you'd take with a sedan!!!).

So aside from doing something such as this - whats the size of your current usecase - is it being able to search and org a large orge of devs through files and directories/repos/whatever?

What if you had a global glob of data/code/files - and as an enterprise you can just give each new emp an employee role, and based on their job and purported skills, just throw them at the monolith, yet the AI will tailor the info they get out of the glob.

Where I live, property taxes pay for schools, firefighters, libraries, roads, transit, hospitals, recreation, etc. I don't want those services to go away so that money has to come from somewhere.

Why not increase income instead of decreasing spending? There is more than enough money to go around, it's just concentrated in the top 0.1%.
I loved living in the Bay Area, but I always thought it would be funny if a new company that was on track to reach FANG-level status required investors to move elsewhere to a mid-size or smaller city (as their primary residence) as a condition to invest in them. This is mandated all the time for employees, particularly with the RTO effort, and I would be quite interested to see which wins out among the psychology of the ultra-wealthy: remain in the Bay Area or move elsewhere to gain even more wealth.
Hah! No they don't.

> Tell that to the taxpayers who are footing the bill for empty floor space and the costs of maintenance, as the GAO emphasizes.

Hey, that's me! I'm going to pay a ridiculous amount in taxes regardless, and they'll only keep increasing. The least you can do is let government workers do their jobs from the comfort of their own homes.
How many different countries and phrase books only takes you so far. I know barely enough Spanish to almost get by. But I wouldn’t have wanted to depend on it when I was in Los Cabos for three weeks staying in a hotel and I definitely wouldn’t have been as comfortable going around Mexico hailing a cab and giving directions as I was with Uber - and also needing cash.
I won't pay 30K for a vehicle in the first place. I drove a Nissan Rogue Select for 6 years before it was totaled on the highway in a rear end collision. For the past two, I've driven a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

I paid $32K total because I bought them both with 2 years on them.... and I received $13.5K back from insurance for the Rogue Select that I paid $14K for because of how wild the market was during the height of COVID.

Not sure exactly what buying a $60K vehicle is supposed to do for me. The cars had Airplay, cruise control, and AC. What else am I supposed to want?
Something similar to browser fingerprints?
I mean, typically spying in another country is outright illegal, so the CIA is asking you to commit crimes in other countries as a matter of course.
I think it depends on the use case. The big win IMO is cost savings for developers, tiny models can run on devices so theres no need for inference servers. The real challenge is coming up with a use case that a tiny model can perform. I suspect there’s probably a lot though, like rephrasing or gmail-like suggestions. Theyre tiny features, not full apps, but still seem valuable to me

Fyi me and a friend made a demo app of tinystories we just submitted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36960333 - from testing it out, anything with <500ms latency and 15 tok/sec feels real-time, and that makes a world of difference in UX
You'd likely send via pipelines or tanker trucks instead.
I still don't get it. What's an Opus codec glitch? I know roughly how things like jpg, flac, and mp3 work, and worked with Opus via ffmpeg/opusenc, but what makes some sounds a glitch? Can you only hear this when playing the data with certain decoders or so? The page and the posts don't say

Varies by field but last few years PRC been reaching parity to topping various science and innovation indexes, PRC institutions also breaking global top100 and general trend of moving up rankings. TLDR is PRC science exploded after mid 2010s - lag effect from academic reform in 00s. Biotech/bioeconomy a outlier though - just got elevated to strategic sector with 500b usd investment in last year's 5 year plan, so expect PRC to start being competitive in 5-10 years.

> at present the best Chinese scientists are still coming to the USA to work

IMO not true anymore. This isn't pre 00s where PRC send best abroad as part of state strategy and best have some english fluency because it's needed for science. More and more PRC best aren't English fluent since there's sufficiently large and growing chinese science ecosystem and best also have good access to resources in tier1 labs. Hence US cracking down on 1000 talents program where PRC entice scientists to work in PRC due to unparallel resources. Or acadmeic exchanges with PRC in general. Also see stats of record amount of scientists returning to PRC this yearm

>best students want to stay there,

Best PRC students go to PRC C9 (Ivy equivalent) now. Top US institutions captures the occasional talent with english proficiency and desire / resources to go abroad. But PRC best have been largely staying in PRC last decade. TBH most Chinese students in west now are those who couldnt hack PRC gaokao/teritary selection system but have rich enough parents to send them abroad. They're B tier talent. Still adequate to work in western labs but you simply don't hear much about PRC students in west who tested top of their districts anymore like in 00s. They're no sending their best and haven't been for while. But generally their ok is good enough. Medium term expect even less PRC students, partly due to geopoltics but also PRC likely phasing out mandetory English as core subject which will make brain draining next gen more difficult. There's always India who seem systemically incapable of preventing brain drain.
Disclaimer, this is out of my field.

Essentially: Spherical harmonics are one of the classic methods to solve PDEs on spheres, modeling complex processes like climate change, or black hole physics, etc. The spherical harmonic transform is part of this process. torch-harmonics implements the transform in way that it's differentiable with the standard automatic processes, allowing you to play the traditional tricks (optimizing over it, sensitivity analysis, etc.) The first paper linked on the repo uses it to learn the dynamics of a set of shallow water equations first and then over a larger timescale from the ERA5 climate dataset. These types approaches are beginning to gain traction for solving actual climate-scale problems (speaking from inside a national lab context). Which is not to say the problem is solved, this is a nice proof of concept that may accelerate others wanting to solve this type of problem.

TLDR: To enable data-driven deep learning methods based off of physics on a sphere (read: Earth), torch-harmonics is an important middle step.
Candidates are definitely attracted to higher pay. The immediate issue is that it takes a long time to get the candidate the seatime, training, and tests to become licensed. We are working on our pipeline. That does not change the shortage today.
There isn't a good likelihood on strong return on those type of investments. You need real engineering talent and leaders. You can glue together a delivery or dating app with a bunch of 25 year olds who just got out of a ruby on rails bootcamp, raise a few million with charismatic/well connected leaders/founders, and maybe gain enough users to be acquired or something. Anything in materials science is going to require some deep expertise, labs/machines/composites/fabrication/manufacturing setups, inside connections at the DoD, trial and error that costs millions.

Yeah, I agree, its way cooler, but way more risky for VC.
I wonder if the author is unaware Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow has been debunked.

I suppose its a 6 year old article, but I'm still embarrassed when I have thoughts related to that book.
Desktop environments: I've used Windows, macOS, GNOME1, GNOME2, GNOME3, multiple versions of KDE, twm, wmaker, and a half-dozen others. I really enjoy GNOME3 and the degree to which it simply isn't a point of concern and Just Works. It needs a little bit of non-default configuration, but so does everything, and I do that bit of configuration via my git homedir.

Laptops: I've used Sony, Dell, and IBM-then-Lenovo ThinkPads; ThinkPad every time. Very eager to try Framework the moment it has a touchpad with real physical mouse buttons, though!

Browsers: I've used Firefox, Chromium, and GNOME Web, and it's no contest: Firefox, every time, for both features and needing meaningful competition in browsers/engines. With uBlock Origin, of course.

Ad blockers: I used, sequentially, Adblock, Adblock Plus, and uBlock Origin. Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin are both good, and uBlock Origin seems subjectively faster and doesn't have the "acceptable ads" contradiction-in-terms garbage.

Search engines: I've used Google, DDG, and a dozen others over the years, and stuck with DDG. Very happy with bangs, no ads, and generally the feeling of less invasive results.

Email servers: I've used various ISPs over the years, I've used Gandi, I've run my own, and I now use Fastmail. Highly recommend Fastmail.

Mail clients: I've used Thunderbird, Evolution, mutt, K-9, and a couple of webmail clients, and I prefer the combination of mutt and K-9 to deal with the sheer volume of mail I deal with.

Editors: I used Emacs extensively for years, then switched to Vim, and have also tried various IDEs over the years. Stuck with Vim. My argument: optimizing basic text operations provides a substantial win, everything else (and there's plenty of "everything" to be had) is gravy on top.

Version control systems: I used, in order, CVS, SVN, tla/baz, Mercurial, and git. I found git both more usable and more powerful. The staging area is a great feature, `rebase -i` is a superpower, and having a clear idea of the underlying data model feels much better than having it be opaque.

Build systems: I've used a huge number of these over the years, including Make (and many variations), autotools, non-autotools configure scripts, CMake, Meson, Ninja, Scons, ./build.sh and many variations on bespoke shell scripts or Python scripts, several language-specific package managers including setuptools, pip, cabal, npm, Cargo, Debian packaging infrastructure, and a couple dozen others. My general conclusions are to avoid CMake, to use your language's package manager for building if it's remotely possible to integrate with Linux distro packaging, that opinionated tools are generally nice if you like the opinions and terrible if you don't, and if your language is C or C++, try to use the simplest thing that could possibly work and handle dependencies, including raw Make.
> Imagine writing Python style pseudoocode for ESP32 and it being super efficient without trying, and with bare metal control when you want.

To be fair, I did have to spend like 2 hours tuning my ESP32 code for handling a 22 kSPS ADC where microseconds matter. ;) Mostly just to avoid extra allocations as I was pretty new to Nim at the time.

Ah, but no major regressions in performance or changes needed for ~4 years!

I think you missed a zero.

Is there a reason you aren't considering the Leaf or the Bolt?
Another issue is even when companies are held liable they're able to nickel and dime the people they've harmed and just drag their feet through the process because the company can survive but the people they've hurt have usually lost some significant portion of their livelihood and can't fight the company for half a decade. So people are forced by necessity to take a lower payout than they actually should get because they just can't afford to fight any more. For a small infuriating sample post-Valdez Exxon argued against many tour and fishing businesses' claims saying there's no indication that those industries wouldn't have collapsed on their own in the absence of the spill so the court shouldn't take into account previous seasons' revenues for the calculation of damages.

It's arguments like that where I wish judges and the court system as a whole could do something like finding that an argument was in complete bad faith and fine the companies and lawyers just for having the gall to make it. ( I know it's a pretty bad idea in reality but that and some of the lies told to get mergers through are just infuriating)
Sure, but it's still surprisingly good for most programming type questions. Even if the answer isn't exactly right or ideal it often gives you enough to go on to figure it out yourself.
The Element Web Matrix client does that. I'm convinced that we're losing 99% of bug reports by making it so complicated.

That being said, the Rust crowd is very different, so it's definitely worth a try!
And another one if you determine whether copper is the optimal bond (as opposed to gold et al)
Author of the article here, thanks for the feedback. I do agree that there's to be more written about it but I see it as a work in progress. Though the internet is not the real world (the vitriol of the online I rarely witness it offline) it is the connection to real world events for most of us and the way the access to information is being walled off, I feel people will be robbed off valuable information sources that earlier generations have been privy to. I don't know if building our own bubbles is an answer, atleast there's a guarantee that it won't be taken down by a middleman.

Was this a typo? There is no way this is true.
Soldering iron firmware is useful for closed-loop temperature regulation and viewing the current temperature, but can be dangerous when the code goes wrong. A while back I found and fixed a bug that would cause button handling to malfunction after 49.7 days of uptime being plugged in, which could be dangerous if anyone actually plugs their Pinecil in for that long. Also I find that the two-button input is difficult to configure such a complex iron with nested menus, selectable options, iron on/off and temperature control and boost, and I sometimes end up mistakenly setting my iron to a temperature higher or lower than intended.
The rate of new car production is fairly consistent. The only way to get 9 at 13.9 years is for 13.9 years ago cars to have been produced 9x as fast, or to randomly pairing things off which doesn’t tell us anything.

If we pair the newest with oldest car and work to the middle things don’t quite work due to antiques, the pandemic, and increasing production, but it’s close enough for 25 years to be a safe estimate.
