They say 4C and a Model 3 battery pack is apparently 60kWh so that would be 240kW. That's ignoring inefficiency though, so we're talking significant fractions of a megawatt to charge one car.
Limitless government subsidies can do wonders.
Probably not, but does it matter? When parking at home, your car usually is a few hours at rest anyway. This is interesting for charging at a service station.

There's only so much expertise you can put into "a few strokes". Charging for 5 weeks to do something in 1 week, that is high quality and still needs support? Go for it. The story about charging $9999 to know exactly where to mark the problem that everyone else couldn't solve, $1 for the mark itself? Great. But plenty of people could make an "unmistakable" Picasso that's only a few strokes. If that sketch is worth even a percent of the asking price, it's based on his fame. It has the value of an autograph, not the value of 40 years of practice.
Wow so clever. That totally solves the need to show logos and images, colors, formatting, centering things, making things visually appealing, etc.

Can you conceive your needs and your basic understanding of an issue is not, in fact, the whole thing?
That's just it isn't it.. the "pro car" people think "pro bike" people are anti delivery truck. I see my car once a week, when I take my dogs to dog training (40km away). Groceries are delivered (because it works out to be cheeper without impulse buys)

I figure one truck on the road is better than every person on the road.
Thanks for proving my alternative reality point!
You don't get an inscrutable message. An example from Elixir docs:

iex> {a, b, c} = {:hello, "world"}
* (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: {:hello, "world"}

The MatchError shows you the part that was not matching. When pattern matching on {:ok, value}, on match error you'd be told it doesn't match, say {:error, %DatabaseError{reason: "Server has gone away."}}

I always pair my production Elixir apps with Sentry, which gives me a backtrace, so I have everything needed to track down an error.

> But if you're using a library, most of the time, use the raising version.

I use the raising version to explicitly "I want this to crash." So this would happen only at the edges of the system. All internal code should operate on tuples. You don't want a core, internal function to raise and have to catch it on higher-level modules, because that's terrible form. In other words, feel free to raise, as long as there is no one that has to catch the exception. If you raise, the goal is to crash, not to leverage exceptions as control flow. This isn't Java.

I've been using Elixir since 2016 and I don't think I have written more than a couple exception handlers since.

Single-use plastic would be much less of a problem if the material would be (at least somewhat) biodegradeable.

Why make candy wrappers from material that lasts centuries when buried? Before plastics, a paper wrapper, or loose candy in a tin, did the job.

Use biodegradeable materials for such applications, and candy wrappers, cigarette packs etc will still wind up in the environment, but not stay there forever. Easy problem application-wise, big win for the environment.

You can actual build a career by just keep predicting the upcoming economic crashes in China, e.g. Gordon Chang has been doing this for decades -

his book is a great joy to read after 22 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Collapse_of_China

It is so laughable to the extent that many Chinese argue that those journalists and writers are paid by the CCP to brainwash the west to let people believe that China is not a real threat as it faces so many internal struggles. ;)
Depends where. In the USA (and perhaps Canada) this has long been a concern -- dating at least back to Kerouac's time -- and a hitchhiker there relies e.g. on drivers who are owner-operators. In the rest of the world, including the EU, hitchhikers still easily move via trucks.
I really wonder its battery life with this new Intel processor. Both with average usage and also in idle mode.

I had a tablet with Intel Atom CPU on it about 10 years ago, the performance and battery life was good during usage but it would stay only 4-5 days in idle before running out of battery (even if left it with 100% battery). But I can leave my iPad aside and come back to it 2 weeks later and it still holds most of its battery.

Having said that, this tablet really looks nice and if it also turns out to have long battery life, I might give it a try.
TSMC 3~5nm is quiet dependent on Apple, Nvidia, AMD products also being able to reach Chinese consumers. Or else the economic off scale that makes using EUV plausible breaks down. With Europe going down the drain and American consumer having a tougher time to make ends meet. Losing the Chinese consumers might as well break TSMC.
Lol YAST is still clunky. Very functional but also clunky and slow.
250 to 350kW chargers are already in common use. And batteries that charge this fast too. What's news here is that they've done it on an LFP battery which is the cheaper kind of lithium chemistry.

We've got to get better at securing email, and I've been really impressed with protonmail (not currently using them myself though).

Consider Gmail, they send 20% of outbound email as clear text and 4% inbound is unencrypted[1]. Of the encrypted email, it's unclear how much actually validates DNSSEC/DANE or a trustworthy CA and refuses to send when these are missing.

Encryption on email is generally about as secure as using http:// for 20% of your web browsing and ignoring certificate errors when you use https://. We tolerate it because email clients generally don't warn end users when this happens and there's not much we can do without harming delivery.

Worrying about legally compelled metadata sharing misses the larger context email operates in.

>Japan's recent Stagflation has plenty of obvious internal causes. Blaming the west for that is some weird cope.

I don't think it extends so far since it's the 80's but I can see why one would blame the US there.
Around this time Japan was forced to do technology transfers to the US, to have minimum marketshare in japan for US cars and semiconductors, to have unfavorable monetary policy.

That smells equivalent to being a vassal at gunpoint.
Of course European countries helped pressuring and it being the cold war japan did not have much developed (or allowed alternatives) for it's export based economy even if it did have an army, more independence and a more varied political landscape.
Can't you also just say that mmap() is a magical function that you don't know what it does?

For all the compiler knows, mmap() could just be a:

And make that the rule for all externally defined functions.
Leaving aside the question of whether these systems are the right answer: the "flexibility" here should be designed into the system.

If there's meant to be a hard limit of N hours, the point of starting to look for a stopping point should be more like N-1.

If N is meant to be the soft limit of starting to look for a stopping point, the hard limit should be more like N+1.

Either way, the "start to look for a stopping point" soft limit and the "stop immediately" hard limit should be separated by however much time it reasonably takes to find a good stopping point.

This is not a nano alternative, it follows the vim paradigm of having a command mode that nano does not have (for good reasons). It's more of a merge between vim and nano if anything, breaking the core intention behind nano.

If you ask me, nano has a niche of a super simple terminal editor that anyone can look at for the very first time and instantly figure out, with very few pitfalls or ways to mess up. The more features you add, the more modes and options, the easier it is for newcomers to press a key combo that puts them in a state only intended for power users that they won't be able to get out of without googling.
> Still, you need money to control the army and keep it interested.

Making payroll is never an issue for a sovereign that controls a central bank that controls their own currency. You're completely missing the point, because you're thinking in terms of money. A country isn't a business, or a household, it doesn't budget in the way you think.

> Money is the force of reason, ignoring it comes at one's own peril regardless of the force one controls:

Money is a floating-value paper proxy for material wealth. When there's a shortage of material prosperity - when people aren't building stuff, that's when you get a problem. Your position has just as many ideological blinders on as the one you think you are making arguments against.

The USSR collapsed because it failed to provide material prosperity. China, by any metric you could measure, is wildly succeeding at providing that material prosperity. That is what the party is focused on, because that's what's going to keep them in power.
Though I love tmux, when vim added terminal support I switched off it. It's not a full replacement; there aren't really sessions and you can't detach, but still vim covered 100% of my uses.
Cool, but feels underwhelming in comparison to the growth of other cities over the past few decades. Shanghai, Dubai, etc..
You can wrap the error types into a discriminated union and then check for retry-able errors, and retry if its one of those, otherwise, propagate the error. Or if you don't need to do special handling for any errors, you can just propagate the whole error and let the caller handle it.

ROP definitely isn't useful in all cases, but it has served me quite well in many by simplifying error handling when I don't care at the callee what error occured.
Definitely not limitless. Subsidies are only provided to get an industry to grow up. As they grow up and can increasingly fend for themselves, subsidies become progressively smaller.

There are a ton of other sectors where subsidies don't help nearly as much as the govt hopes. Until the US sanctions hit, subsidies for the semiconductor industry only had very limited effect.

That's a good article, amazing how relevant it still is today (18 years later, though paradoxically not much has changed)

Bottom up efforts, like individuals, cities and states, would be best off just dealing with the effects of climate change. Build taller flood defenses. Build more desalination plants. Change crops. Upgrade AC units. etc.

Top down efforts, like global carbon quotas with enforcement via sanctions or even military action, are the only efforts likely to see success. So far, world leaders haven't shown interest in such things, but who knows, as world leaders get old and die and are replaced by the next generation, there might be interest in such a scheme.
That sounds suspiciously like a pyramid scheme: the only thing financing the current construction are payments to new construction. How did they get into this situation? By continuously selling under cost, or perhaps by siphoning off profits?

Every time the GIL removal is discussed, I notice a tidal wave of negativity in the comments, which is completely surprising to me. I suspect some critics primarily deal with thread-parallel programs that focus on asynchronous data sharing and task signaling. In languages like C++, handling these with threads and locks is tricky, and you're all but guaranteed to produce subtle race conditions. I'm totally with you on this – I wouldn't want to manage this in Python either.

However, consider parallel data processing, a task I face so often in computer vision. In C++, I can slap a `pragma omp parallel for` onto a for loop processing a list of images/videos/meshes/csvs, increasing the speed of this section of the program by the number of CPU cores. I do this when the problem is well defined (one input, one output each), and it hasn't blown up in my face once. In Python, on the other hand, it feels cumbersome when spinning up worker processes for such tasks, not to mention harder to debug. For this kind of work, removing the GIL would be a massive relief.

It's good that people are highlighting the issues. But to add my weight to the scale, the GIL is the main barrier in Python to stand in my way to speed up my programs. So I'm very happy that they're investing their resources to build a proper way of doing thread-parallelism.
Thanks for the ref. Looks very interesting!
> For starters there isn't a level playing field.

Think about it, who determines what is a 'level playing field'? That's right, the US in this context. Every country has the right to determine it's own policies, and the US shouldn't have any say, and yet is applying pressure for it's own benefits.

The same goes when China insists on one-on-one bilateral country negotiations on the issue of the south china sea instead of multilateral negotiations.

Historically the number one country will always be putting pressure on potential the upstart countries, and Big countries will be big countries. The US especially is adapt at spinning up narratives, so calm down and take a look at the different perspectives.

Greater yield doesn't mean greater yield in nutrition.

Nutrition in many veggies has dropped significantly since we started chemical farming instead of organic farming, and now that we understand more about the soil web and the complex interactions of the life in the soil we realse that adding fertiliser results in dirt rather than soil, which then results in less nturitous food.

That's a fair point. I admit I was judging by the availability on the PC side (I don't follow the console market).

Although, if I'm not mistaken, my particular PC monitor initially didn't support HDMI 2.0, even though it's a 4k panel. There was a further revision which included it. I have that revision, but support is still somewhat wonky, in that it can't seem to switch on its own from 2.0 to 1.4b.

This sounds ponzi schemic.
Fishing for any sort of "turning points" or "decisive moments" in History is almost always an exercise in pushing some purposeful narrative. I think the only way to get a sense for Historical understanding is to read multiple narratives and understand that there are multiple points of view and complex systems change are complex and made of a whole lot of small changes, which cannot be all captured or captured fully by any one narrative.

Some periods transitions may be construed as "phase transitions" by scholars advancing interdisciplinary and "complex systems" types of analytical frame. Still, we shouldn't conflate such explanations with very well defined constructs from physics which rely on highly complicated mathematical models. We don't have nearly enough data to build such models for human behavior or social systems. It is just a metaphor.

Between the height of Rome's Imperial power in the second century to the dawn of Medieval Europe in the fifth you'd need thousands of pages to reasonably cover all the aspects of what changed and how. Simply put, there is a whole lot of irreducible complexity in History.
