> ... also average is just a bad metric for affordability

It is definitely better than the outlier you provided as an example. I don't drive a Mercedes-Benz because, on average, any of their models are more expensive than the one I own.

The Model Y numbers are misleading. If we consult the source material [0], it clearly states:

> ... the Tesla Model Y was the most registered new passenger car of March and Q1 2023

Which is not the same as units sold, but units delivered, i.e. one cannot register a car before receiving it. Tesla has built up a massive order backlog until quite recently [1], so it wouldn't surprise me if these deliveries are for orders placed back in 2022.

>> People are far too obsessed with static type checking.

I have to fully agree with this. At least here in HN, I see all the time comments "language is good, but does not have static typing." As it was THE thing needed.

Of course it helps, but I think is greatly exaggerated.

I think many people code as some of my colleges did Physics in the university: they looked at the data available in the problem description, and searched formulas to plug the data, just looking at the units, where the output unit was the correct for the answer required. In a similar way I see people smashing things at APIs without reading the documentation, using bad naming, having tens of variables in 10 line functions, all because "no problem, if something is wrong, it won't compile!".

I have written tens of thousands of lines of code in dynamic typed languages, and I can count and remember the few times I had a problem related to types. Out of those, only 2 times I had a somewhat difficult time debugging (couple of hours).
> 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.

Its not at all consistent, and the reason the average age has gone up is supply chain issues driving costs up and sales down for new cars.
That's the voice. :-D
From what I understand (and have seen, around here), the new electric "Mustang" is actually a crossover SUV. Note the URL hierarchy.

Yeah, you definitely need backpressure, and doing that well is had. There's a great blog post about how Flink manages this [0] and it involves a complex credit-based flow control system.

But in practice the performance advantages of allowing operators to do work as they have capacity (rather than being potentially starved by the capacity of their downstreams) outweighs this.

> Those seem equally nebulous.

They aren't. It's literally happening right now as you read this - a stream of experiences is present. If that is the case, YES it is consciousness, if nothing is happening, NO it is not consciousness. Black and white - literally as non-nebulous as you can get.
I think "cool" here is subjective, and aptitude aside, not everyone can [design|fix] things, because then who will [fix|design] them?

I think a lot of people like the hands-on aspect over, say, math, and/or the fact that their job is done when they punch out - they don't have the responsibility that a PE or PM does. Go to work, turn wrench, come home, drink beer, repeat.
There are no unneeded upgrades to be had (aside I guess autopilot?).

The experience of buying a Tesla was wonderful. We just couldn't believe how great everything was. Zero pressure. Clear pricing. Simple website. They even registered the car.
EVs are a luxury good. The most popular affordable car is around 13k EUR in the EU from new. There are no comparable EVs in the same price range.
Lipitor, Prozac, Flonase are all PFAS as well as about a third of pharmaceuticals being developed. The best solution is regulated waste management, but nimbyism sends the issue to China.
> It looks simple but in a typed language it's actually somewhat tricky.

But that example looks about as simple as it can be, so I clearly must miss something.

> The compiler needs to infer that the 1 is a float type, 2 is a byte, and compile it appropriately.

And I don't understand _why_ it has to infer anything, as the type is explicitly declared.
I mean, there are 2 possibilities:
* 1 is both a valid integer and a float literal => Nim needs the type declaration on the left to unify the type (from "integer or float" or "numeric" or whatever the type checker inferred) to `float`.
* 1 is not a valid float literal (but an integer) => the type is not inferred, but implicitly converted to `float`.
In both cases the solution does not involve inference?

They're swapping out legacy industry worker addiction to opioid and alcohol for cannabis.

Socially, it's done a lot of good in those places.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, beyond "do your own research" and "they don't want you to know".
I wonder: would be better or worse if states started giving out medical-grade Heroin to those who seek it? Perhaps with a prescription where one has to pick up a 1 day supply each day (less likely to OD) and the prescription gradually tapers off down to zero. It would put a dent in the illicit markets and reduce deaths of existing addicts, but could be too tempting for new people to try it out.

I have always been convinced that the general numbers on how many rich people (> 10M networth and > 50M networth) there are is a total lie. Maybe its the bubble that I live in, but there are ALOT of very wealthy people on the coasts. The government numbers dont match my anecdata, I think they are missing a ton of income/capital gains, and thus our wealth distribution charts dont match reality

Software engineer with ~10 years of experience. Most of that in front-end and full stack, but I recently went back to university for a MSc in machine learning. I'm a team player, and I love helping to solve real world problems.

I'm from the Netherlands, but moving to the US (Princeton) soon, and should have my green card by the end of the year, so I'm looking for something new.

I'd love to find a new challenge in the ML field, but I'm open to other opportunities.

Yes and many of them are completely wrong.

I keep seeing people saying "CPU's that don't generate heat". How exactly would that work? When a transistor turns off/ switches to 0, where does it dump the electrons? Hint: into heat
So, Nim doesn’t seem to be under an umbrella of a non-profit. Isn’t this destined to be a problem at some point regarding either acquisition of rights or succession?

26 footers are terrible. I’ll gladly tow a massive trailer and it’s much easier to position a trailer. In fact it’s easier with longer trailers over something like a jet ski trailer.

A roommate in college worked for Lowe’s installing appliances off a 26 footer. He crashed into things and cars once a month. After 9 times they said don’t get a 10th, luckily he changed jobs.
Well, her analogy is more for protected areas where you can hide from lifeless, aggresively public areas and where you can consume (presumably) more authentic content. It doesn't work well in this case for e.g. "cozy web" because places like Snapchat are definitely harvesting your interactions. Whatsapp is literally Facebook. The author of this article is more ranting about the "commercial web" in this case. They don't seem to have the same level of appreciation for some of the corporations that Maggie does.
Why are you assuming what I think about voting rights? I never brought that up.
I agree with you. TBH, 55k is likely also less than the current average selling price of a new F-150. And the F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the US, and has been for a long time.

I read an article (you can probably guess the major media source) that said EVs were expensive because the ASP of a new EV is >$55k, while a compact ICE is only ~25k. Of course comparing the average across all EVs, including $80k trucks to the price of Civic-class vehicles makes no sense.
Alpine, not to be confused with the Linux distro [1], is wonderful. I had used Pine since the '90s because nothing comes close to the speed of checking email directly on the email server itself via a TUI. Alpine, I learned, is a suitable successor to Pine, and is even better.

It's definitely faster than Pine, particularly in searches and applying actions to groups of messages. It has several cute little animations which play while waiting for a mailbox to open which, while not practical, is nice. It supports OATH so I don't have to deal with the absolute hell which is the Gmail web interface when I need to access Gmail email.

If nothing else, it's an excellent tool to keep around when there are other problems and you either need to send / check email quickly, or you want to diagnose mail problems and want to take your local email client out of the equation. Highly recommended!

[1] I had followed someone on Twitter, when it was a thing, who was active with Alpine Linux. They almost never mentioned the "Linux" part, so I genuinely thought it was an Alpine email client developer.
> After years of economic crisis, Portugal decentralized its drug oversight operation in 2012. A funding drop from 76 million euros ($82.7 million) to 16 million euros ($17.4 million) forced Portugal’s main institution to outsource work previously done by the state to nonprofit groups, including the street teams that engage with people who use drugs.

I watched this video the other day, it's really interesting.

If I can trust arbitrary estimates on stack exchange, the deep space network transmitters will be about equal brightness to the sun at frequencies near 2GHz when the 20signal is 10 Hertz wide. That would put the transmission rate in the ballpark of 10 bits per second, and the real number is 16 bits per second, so that seems to work out.

Being drowned out is harder than you might think. The maximum data rate of a weak signal is 1.4 x [bandwidth] x [signal-to-noise ratio]. If you transmit across a 200MHz band, and your signal is a million times weaker than the noise, you can do hundreds of bits per second.
Regarding car sharing: The whole the point is that I don’t have to own, maintain and insure it myself. For some people it just doesn’t make sense given how little they drive and car sharing enables them to do that once every blue moon trip without everything else that comes with a car.
I’ve tried multiple translation apps for real-time translation between English and Korean, including Google Translate, Apple Translate, Microsoft Translator, and Papago (by Naver).

Surprisingly, Microsoft translator is the best for real-time translation. It’s still rough, but it’s able to keep up in real-time. Google doesn’t have the transcribe mode for the Korean-English language pair, and neither does Apple or Papago. Really surprised those other services don’t have it
Yeah; it's hard to screw up cast iron seasoning once you know how to treat it, and basically impossible to ruin the pan.

The only way I've heard of people screwing up is by to using it infrequently. If you season with canola or vegetable oil, and use it every time you cook, then the patina takes care of itself.

To clean, scrape using chain mail or a plastic scraper, such as the ones from pampered chef or lodge, and be sparing with the soap. Do not put it in the dishwasher.

If you ignore the above, then scrape off as much of the old patina as possible, then coat lightly with oil + bake at 300 for an hour.

Compare the above to non-stick, where getting it near anything sharp destroys the pan, and you have to buy a new set every 1-5 years. Re-seasoning a pan is much less effort (and cheaper / more environmentally friendly) than shopping for a new one!
If a billionaire did this, people would see it as eccentric but not an addiction. Cause you know, he's a billionaire already. Just let him do it. If your stepsis is in dire financial straits or neglecting responsibilities, that's probably where you would draw the line.

Maybe it's different when working with a team but I've never thrown away code. It's not that I'm so smart that I get it right the first time but there's usually a lot of little bits of housekeeping code that goes along with the package that it doesn't make much sense to just throw it all away. Refactor the parts the don't work as well as intended. Maybe rethink the overall structure and reorganize it. But just throwing it all away? That's like gutting a house because you forgot that the bathroom needs a toilet.
A sea change like this, especially when it comes to substances people take to feel some relief from the bullshit of our bullshit-heavy world- and involve physical dependance- isn't going to look awesome overnight. We have to wait until some of the dust shakes off. and this is a major problem with public initiatives in this polarized day and age. If they aren't immediately effective and amazing, we demonize them immediately.

Slow down. Let's not just toss it out just yet.
No, it’s repelled by both poles.
>It is completely inaccurate to call my comments "putdowns" which are defined as "snub, disparaging remark, insult, slight, affront, rebuff, sneer, disparagement, humiliation, slap in the face, barb, jibe...".

You mean like the comments calling other people out for not commenting to your liking, and declaring how you'll "help move [their comment] down the page" in order to curate "the most useful discussion"?

Or the part where you describe another person's perspective as '"pro-privacy" grift', and close by literally telling them to "piss off"?
There's not always a happy option when you've ignored a problem for a hundred years.

Sometimes the option is a self induced stick, or a way bigger stick from something else that you don't get to choose.

It's rank entitlement to believe you personally should never have to change anything to make the world a better place. IMO this is a huge reason why the younger generations have been worthless at doing government things. The Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney situation proved that average consumers can absolutely still affect big businesses in a way that leads to uncomfortable discussions with shareholders, you just have to be willing to settle for a different product.

Meanwhile plenty of gay people and people who believe gay people deserve equal rights still buy a fucking chicken sandwhich from a fast food place that donates to organizations that explicitly exist to fight gay rights, rather than deprive themselves of, once again, a medium quality fried chicken sandwich that you can get from ten other establishments or literally any pub.

Care you expand more? I thought (granted, without any evidence) he's poised better compared to his predecessors. Better in what way? Well, not a clown; lasted more than 45 days -- neither of which, I admit, is not high praise.

The road there is stuck. Raising the railway, which has been done once already, is very expensive. Lowering the road would require moving a sewer main, which is a fairly delicate and also expensive job. Both railway and sewer are very old and substantially pre-date the modern assumption that you can just drive trucks wherever you want as if that's some basic element of civilisation rather than a weird temporary glitch.

One idea I've played with is having links be partially expanded and sort of 'docked' into the side, so you can glance over at any link and see the title & snippets. Crude mockup: https://gwern.net/doc/design/typography/sidenote/2022-11-16-...

Nooks (https://nooks.ai) | Software Engineers (full-stack & backend/ML infra) | Full-time | SF or Remote
Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a small team (18 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $1.9MM ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

I’d love to chat: reach me at nikhil [at] nooks.in or just apply at the link below: https://nooks.breezy.hr/p/bbc06c1a1bb4-software-engineer
