The truth is that if you are in this market, the best choice by far is still Tesla.

I notice that in the article the sales situation for Tesla isn’t addressed, just crap automakers like Ford or half-hearted EVs from companies like Mazda.

The best competitor is Hyundai which is a shitty buy because it doesn’t have a tax credit.

I think it’s also worth pointing out that EVs are exploding in China because those buyers don’t have to worry about long distance driving. They travel the country with the world’s best high speed rail system.

When the current EV market just barely competes with ICE cars I think it’s logical for people to really converge around the very best option.

In my case, the cubes were in large-ish rooms with doors. This was kind of great in that if things got loud you were either shutting the door or asking two or three office mates to pipe down. There was no cut-through traffic or hallway conversation. Not as excellent as the one time in my career where I had a traditional private office, but definitely the runner-up.
Wowsa. That reads like a B movie noir comedy.

Those just are not enough for many of us to warrant the switch. Mutability is fine if you’re not going over thread boundaries, many of us don’t struggle with null, and brevity does not always equal clarity.
the ease looks like a hack, since it's documented it's not a "hack as in workaround". in my vocabulary "hack" is a compliment, not a derogative. i grew up on jargon file.
I wanted ZIF sockets for three reasons things: I want to be able to swap out chips (and their fake replacements) easily to test compatibility and stuff like that. The chance of breaking the pins off of the vintage chips is very real, especially with repeated pulls/pushes. They also put a more constant pressure on the pins, so they _should_ have less of "popping out" the chips, which the wipe-contact type of sockets do a bit sometimes.

The low-profiles I wanted for two reasons, aesthetics, I like how they look, comared to the traditional tall green/cyanish giant monstrocities, and practical: Some of my fake devices are tall, and I risk running out of room in the C64c case (also true for chips below the keyboard), but also, the traditional zif sockets have a much larger footprint than a standard dip socket, and so they actually don't fit on my C64, they collide with decoupling caps AND with each other in one axis (I think it was the PLA and SID that couldn't coexist).

So, I opted for the waaahy more expensive low-profile ones
> The Better Business Bureau (BBB) told CBC that it sounded like a vendor-return scheme that's common in the US but rarer in Canada, where foreign sellers dodge fees associated with storing and shipping return items by sending the items anywhere but their own addresses.

So someone is dropshipping products from China. Because they are not fulfilled by Amazon, they would have to pay return shipping to... probably nowhere useful in China. So the seller says "screw it!" and just tells customers to ship their crappy returns to an address they pull out of a hat. Am I understanding the scam correctly?

Would it not be pretty easy to at least figure out the seller responsible?

> In this report, we analyze Tencent’s Sogou Input Method, the most popular Chinese input method with over 455 million monthly active users and versions of the app for multiple platforms, including Windows, Android, and iOS. Sogou Input Method accounts for 70% of Chinese input method users, with products by iFlytek and Baidu taking second and third place, respectively.
This part is surprising to me. Are the Chinese input methods provided directly by the operating systems not enough? I'm surprised that Microsoft, Apple et al provide such a sub-par service in China that over 450 million people were bothered enough to install a third-party keyboard.

A bit of a shame that the author didn't mention the Garmin vivofit 4, which as far as I can tell hits nearly all of the actual requirements of a fitness band. Yes, it has a screen, but it's definitely in a different class from other smart watches, and the biggest weakness of a screen (battery life) is neatly mitigated (it has a claimed 1 year life). Price is right too ($100).

So? Falcon wasn't a human spaceflight program during that time, and it was also over-schedule and over-budget anyway.

Advertising, by its very nature, is emotional manipulation with the goal of getting you to give up some of your money for something you most likely don't really need and won't improve your life all that much, if at all. To me, that's evil.

Sure, there are varying degrees of this evil, but IMO even the least-objectionable advertising out there still can't be called "good".

In my experience, the case where advertising gets you to buy something that ends up being materially useful, that you would not have bought (or found a substitute for) without that advertising, is the exception, not the rule.

Oh, and to address your specific example: if you search "best diapers", and get shown ads for diapers, that absolutely is evil, because some ad-presentation algorithm is pushing you toward whatever diapers will generate the most money for the ad network, likely not toward which diapers are best. Not to mention that "best" often means different things to different people, and the ad networks only care about that insofar it increases their profit.
> How, pray tell, are people supposed to determine that certain categories/manufacturers of drives are inherently unreliable?

Certainly not by thinking the marketing department is giving you the full story. I don't have a problem with news like this being reported. What I have a problem with is acting like it's a surprise, or acting like a user who loses 3TB of data because of the failure of a single portable drive is a blameless victim (especially when the failed drive in question was a warranty replacement for a previous drive failure).
It's unclear from this summary whether the intervention group's program was in addition to or in lieu of the standard health education curriculum that the control group had. Either option could be problematic - adding an additional assignment on top of all the regular work would presumably lead to worse academic performance and increased stress; whereas dropping the standard curriculum might mean the girls weren't being as well educated about birth control and related topics. At the end of the day shoving stuff into a curriculum is always going to have issues so it can't be isolated from the rest of the study, but it does raise the question of whether this study has shown infant simulator programs to generally be counterproductive, or just this particular program implementation.

> you are actually more production when you are being interrupted

That makes no sense. If you research the impact of interruptions on productivity you will find that interruptions unanimously destroy productivity. For engineers, it takes a significant amount of ramp-up time to get into flow, and being interrupted resets that ramp.
Ok that's nice. Would one call that a dependent type ? I guess I would naively implement this by appending %10 to all assignments to a Whatever_Name.

tl;dr: Students at schools in both the control and intervention groups took the standard required health class, which includes traditional sex ed. Students at schools in the intervention group had to opt in to the baby simulator. It wasn't a regular class and was independent of the required health class, but it did take place at the school. It was one week, 40 minutes a day to learn about the baby simulator and a few other basics. Students at schools in the intervention group only cared for the baby for 64 hours: 4 days x 16 hours. 'Free childcare' was mandated for the 8 hours they were at school, as they were turned off during the school day.

> Spying implies being observed without consent

It doesn't imply it, that's what it means. If data is being collected about me, my machine, or my use of my machine without my consent, it's spying.

> and that the adversary is gaining information to use against you.

I disagree that this is required in order for it to be spying. The reason it's collected is irrelevant. If I didn't give consent, it's spying.

> Ya'll act like Intel is sitting in a back room watching flowing logcats of your activity and cherry-picking ones to target you personally

I don't think that's what's happening at all, and certainly aren't meaning to imply it. What I think is happening is that data is being collected without consent. What makes it worse is that some of that data is clearly being collected for marketing purposes.
That's a good point, and in general actual application behavior matters more than what the TOS says. I do think there are unsolved problems with TOS/privacy policies in general though, so I'm interested in exploring ways for users to gain more control over how companies use their data.
Antibodies are "just proteins"- while some are made using VDJ recombination, you can also just design your own antibody sequence and have it expressed for you in the lab (typically grown inside of cells, like CHO).

In this case they have a mechanism by which to design sequences that are similar to naturalyl generated antibodies but presumably aren't found by the adaptive immune system.

Antibody engineering is a whole field.
Aren't RSS feeds a pull mechanism for end users? With social media, it ends up acting like a push to the user so that they get notifications in "near-realtime", which would be important for events like flash floods.

am i reading this wrong? the code has a bug*, but the bug is

unsigned char *pchEnd = pch + size;
while (pch < pchEnd)

that if pch+size overflows (unsigned, from a large address to a small address), then the while loop will be skipped entirely.

*depending if you think the compiler would ever allocate so as to put you into this position, for example usually the stack is at the top with the heap underneath it so stack overflow would be your risk, not address overflow.
A recent internal company poll/discussion about the design of the new office building revealed a pretty hard split: talkers and workers.

All the manager types, HR, comms...people that spent all day talking, they all want more "collaboration" rooms.

All the other types, people actually doing tasks, want more "concentration rooms".

The collaboration people don't like that. There can't be too many concentration rooms and attendance is max 2 hours per day.

It's all so pathetic. It's truly baffling how in our society that ordinarily aggressively optimizes for costs and efficiency, businesses really believe that employees should collaborate MORE.

The entire fucking problem is that there's TOO MUCH of it. Endless meetings, emails and chat with very little to show for it. How can you stand by and piss away all your money on buildings nobody wants to be at to do absolutely nothing of actual value for most of the day?

Make it make sense.

> is gaseous CO2 sequestration a bad idea, because it causes explosive volcanos

The paper [1] found "oceanic intraplate mafic eruptions are sustained from the mantle by high volatile concentrations inherited from their source and that deep CO2 exsolution (here up to ~800 MPa) drives their ascent and explosivity" [1]. 800 MPa occurs in the upper mantle, around 30 km below the Earth's surface [2]. (CO2 is being discussed for sequestration around 73 atm [4], or about 8 MPa, at depths that might approach 3 km.)

So yes, if we start pumping CO2 into the ocean floor at almost triple the depth of the deepest borehole we've ever dug [3], and then superpressurize it, it could create a problem.

You might not like the 20-year term; but in the case of FDM; I'm sure there are plenty of patentable refinements, and I'd be surprised if Stratasys only got the initial patent and never any refinements. But when the initial patent expired, there was an explosion of other options as the initial patent was sufficient to enable the ecosystem, even if there was a need to avoid some refinement patents.
Yeah, it's more important for people living on houseboats to have a "take shelter on land" plan than for people on land to have a "take shelter on water" plan. :P
Whenever there is some working existing implementation of a model (and maybe even checkpoint), the most effective way to be sure your model implementation is correct is to import such an existing checkpoint and compare the model output. If it does not match (which is almost always the case, as you likely got some details wrong), you can systematically go through each of the layers. You will figure out the real differences and learn. Maybe you will even find some oddities in the existing implementation.

This is about the model itself. Training is another aspect. But usually after having the hyper parameters more or less similar, this should be fine, if the model is correct.
This is very informative, thank you.

But you can't account for how all of your customers are going to use your API. It is the interface.

The freedom to buy remotely without an unelected body controlling your purchases. Generous investments in energy infrastructure, much of it in renewables. Investment in GPU technology and infrastructure.

Even the bad stuff like crime, in places where the law is brutally unjust crypto is a good tool to get around it. And blaming crypto for carbon emissions is like blaming Tesla for carbon emissions because a recharge comes from coal plants. Its our responsibility to structure renewables as the cheapest, so industry (including crypto) invest in them.

How many stories on here about payment processors, or even banks freezing accounts for arbitrary or no reasons? Crypto is one of the few options around this. There are countless countries where it has been useful for political reasons, helping people in war zones, or to bypass unjust sanctions.

I’ve been enjoying toying around with my beepy, but the display is pretty miserable. I’d say you almost need outdoor light to enjoy it. Lights on inside it’s fine, usable, but lots of tilting to get the best angle. And I’d love just a little larger size, maybe another row of text and some more columns.

When the device was announced some naysayer here on HN said, hey, that display is lame and the raspberry pi is a bad choice for battery applications, mcus with better options for deep sleep could make this a device with a battery life measured in days, not hours. And despite calling them a naysayer I’d say they are completely right.

I don’t regret buying it anyway, though.
