In part, I'm sure culture in this particular instance is partly to blame here.

That said, in more general terms, this is a relatively new concern for many people, even in Texas or Arizona, where these wet bulb events were rare. All told, I can understand how people really don't grok it because 10+ years ago, they could keep working in the heat taking relatively simple precautions.

However since 2021 web bulb events have been increasing in regularity and many models suggest that starting this year and going forward, these extreme heat events are going to become the norm, with increasing intensity, making this a permanent concern now. This makes a lot of simple previous precautions folks take less effective or even worthless.

They're obviously not able "pull [it] off" if people are finding dangerous structural problems that Tesla is sweeping under the rug
Imagine be proud of running servers with no updates / reboot for 10 years.
> Lithium Ion should be replaces ASAP by safer chemistries so we can sidestep this issue completely

That would be nice, but so far there are no good candidates that have anywhere near the energy density of Li-based cells. As far as I understand it, besides material degradation and overcharge/overdraw, the energy density itself poses a risk. So even if we had that miracle cell chemistry it would be still pose a fire hazard when subjected to mechanical stress. The stored energy has to go somewhere.

Maybe we could all work on the "I see a tweet I disagree with and I'm not reflexively responding with a knee-jerk overly emotional response" thing instead.

Because these threads always become Tesla hate instead of an objective analysis.

All of these lane centering ADAS (including Autopilot) will kill you if you leave them unattended long enough (usually by taking a tight off-ramp at an unsafe speed). These is very evident to people who actually use these systems.

And there's nothing wrong with such behavior, it's an L2 system. Cruise Control will also kill you. These systems have been on the road for a long while and people aren't dying left and right because of it, they are empirically reasonably safe. They're probably a net positive as they likely drastically reduce rear ends.

People just get riled up at one off accidents because they make the news.

No, I'm not a doctor that has examined them. I have been told by these people that they want to maximize their disability payments and they can do that by claiming things are caused by agent orange. I've been told by them that they will shop around the diagnosis until they get something in writing they can use. I have been told by these people that they don't care if it is related to agent orange or not, as long as they can get a doctor to write it down.
That is not how complexity works. You might lower the difficulty in the happy path, but when something goes wrong, there is additional complexity, and that means more places to debug and understand.

>I think you misunderstood users, it's not just ignorance. I want apps to go back in the direction of real(not cordova) apps, not some low effort web thing. Basically zero web apps match the experience of a well crafted actual app.

For me, it also depends on how integral internet access is to the application's function. When I'm on my computer and want to check the weather, I don't want to launch a separate application. I just google "weather". I agree that games probably belong as standalone desktop/mobile applications and similarly for other programs requiring deep integration with OS APIs. But if an app mostly wraps content that's already available via a website (e.g. starbucks.com, subway.com, or news sites), I'd rather just use a full-blooded web browser.

What says that Wikipedia is successful and not just existing like Twitter and Reddit are likely to continue to?
That's likely because you engage with weather-related content.

For all its problems, Twitter does do a great job at tailoring the algorithmic feed to your (expressed) interests. I just follow/engage with artists, so I rarely see any English text on my feed. The people who see a constant feed of political hot takes have presumably engaged in political arguments on Twitter.

As an aside this was what pissed me off most about the change to require users to log in to see tweets; I'll always use incognito mode to view tweets with topics that I don't want polluting my timeline.

An IP address was never supposed to be personally identifiable info. If we treat it as such then no P2P service can ever work, and the internet will forever be under the control of a few large corps running data centers.

The real solution here is to completely disconnect an IP address from a person or physical location. Broad adoption of IPv6 will be a big step towards that.

The real answer is to get her to a rehab center for people losing their vision.

If references were guarenteed sane and consistent values like in Rust, sure - but it's trivial to get a bogus reference in C++, so I don't buy the type safety thing. An assert actually catches errors, a reference just declares intent.

As for smart pointers there's a lot of domains with tight performance requirements where you can't afford them - and to be quite frank, if you can afford to use shared_ptr you can also afford GC, so just use a sane language
Headlines like this make me not read the article, because anyone who actually writes this headline seems to lack the unawareness that his opinion is literally 1 insignificant stupid opinion floating in a sea of 10 billion shitty opinions.

Headlines like this are an immediate benefit to me because it allows authors to filter themselves out.

There are so many better ways to offer takes on things that don't depend on the stupidest worded headlines like "We dont ____", as if my use case is the same as yours.

It's actually mindblowingly painful to me when people would even consider that, I mean it's physically painful to think that someone thinks that. And, obviously it half the time might not mean to be taken literally, and in this case the author lacks insight as to how many people are disgusted by stupid headlines that have this "I decide what's best for you" energy. Yes Cal Newport, certainly you know what is best for the entire world.

Why do I need to be required? I give money to people who do good things without being required, and I'd give a lot more if I had more money. Build good FOSS and I'll send you some money, make a meme that advances the culture, I'll send you some money, down on your luck I'll send you some money, even when I was broke I'd send friends money if it meant I was rationing ramen and beans. The idea that people won't help each other out without being required seems like projection, and before there was an income tax we still had roads, rails, schools/colleges, and a military, so the idea that we need this might seem obvious, but history does not prove it out.
For better or for worse, Wikipedia is devoid of advertising revenue, and therefore seemingly immune to these ups and downs to the ad-tech market like Twitter/Reddit have been this past year.

Li-ion is a very big umbrella of battery chemistries, and within can have broadly different safety and stability profiles.

More important is that Li-ion cells are no joke, and are not equivalent to ‘AA’ or ‘AAA’ battery formats. You can NCM, NCA, LFP, Cobalt chemistries and blends within - not even accounting for differing mAH and charge/discharge capacities. 18650 is simply a form factor.

Better labeling, specing, regulated and certified repair processes are just a start for solutions as it is currently a Wild West.

However, statements like ‘Li-ion should be replaced ASAP’ do not factor in that… lithium ion as a platform is not going anywhere and has essentially won at least the next half century for 18650 type form factors and applications. Moving away is not a reasonable solution.

> It felt like more than a few inches.

It's hard to tell because the camera is at such a weird angle, but from what I can see the vehicle remains pretty firmly behind the stop line throughout the entire encounter. We can quibble about how fast it was accelerating, but I regularly see worse false starts at lights.

> When this car made this mistake, someone else (Elon) had to stop it. These are not equivalent. In the former case you can argue no accident was going to happen, but in the latter you can't.

I'm actually more worried about the human case than the human+autonomous case. In the human case it is up to the entity that made the mistake to correct their own mistake. In the autonomous vehicle case you effectively have a second set of eyes as long as the driver is paying attention (which they should be and Musk was). This is why I say that it makes a difference that this was internal testing—the driver wasn't a dumb consumer trusting the vehicle, it was the CEO of the company who knew he was using in-progress software.

> This is on a public road. Try pulling this off (well, please don't) in medicine and see how it goes.

Requiring that autonomous vehicles never be tested on a public road in real world conditions is another way of saying that you do not believe autonomous vehicles should ever exist. At some point they have to be tested in the real world, and they will make mistakes when they leave the controlled conditions of a closed course.

The 1896 New York heat wave lasted 10 days and killed ~1500 people. And has just 2 short paragraphs in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1896_Eastern_North_America_hea...)

The problem here is that there's not good alternative to Lithium for now. LiFePO4 (commonly seen as LFP) chemistry is a little safer, but also less energy dense & heavier. It's unclear to me whether or not these downsides rule out that chemistry's use for bikes as space and weight can often be at a premium.
Stop what lunacy? You realize thousands upon thousands of Americans are driving drunk every day? Or drive watching TikTok videos on their phone. How many car accidents do you think happen every week because humans are drunk or distracted?

Elon had his hands on the steering wheel ready to make any intervention, this is hardly some crazy and dangerous testing going on. I would be far more worried about the average American driver than Elon testing the latest version of FSD.

I’ve had an incident where a crazy guy fully stopped his car on the I5 fast-lane to LA trying to brake test me before getting out of his car to threaten me. I’m far more scared of people than I am of software.

Are they calling smart cruise control "Full self driving" and "Autopilot"?

Smart cruise control has existed for a while now, and it is not regularly veering off course and slamming into palm trees & fire trucks.

Full self driving Teslas - according to Tesla - do not actually exist - and yet they sell & market them and have the outcomes that they do.

And then they have the balls to lie and say the system wasn't engaged - and tell everyone to keep using Full Self Driving Autopilot as normal.
Some of the models in TheBloke's repo are optimised for things like ggml, which runs well on Mac chips. Not sure if that's what you mean?

Have been experimenting with deploying to Mac's for inference as they are cheaper and use less power. But also still deploy to a substantial amount of gpus too.

People are too concerned with human timescales when thinking about extraterrestrial life.

We're a tiny nanosecond blip of electromagnetic noise that might, with difficulty, be received at Alpha Centauri.

If simple life develops in many places, intelligent life is still vanishingly rare over galactic timescales. In our own little ephemeral lightning flash I highly doubt there's anything within our galaxy.

Non Terrestrial Intelligences (NTIs, to borrow from The Abyss movie) might be interested in places where life gets more complex than a few RNA fragments. I just can't see why they'd want samples more frequently than every few million years or so.

Certainly we'd have come and been long gone before any probe made a flyby.

Have you ever dealt with the VA? They will lie, cheat, and steal to deny benefits at any and all opportunities. Not saying that that makes lying to them or the government right, but how many people need to draw a straight line from their work on the deck of an aircraft carrier and their permanent hearing loss, or similar very obvious conditions, only to have the VA say "Not Service Connected" and deny all claims? It's no wonder you have people go to coaching before every VA meeting to know what keywords will get their claim denied or fast-tracked.

It is very easy to verify. Just have a working C compiler + git + make:

git clone https://github.com/vlang/v
cd v
make
./v your_program.v

On a modern machine with good network, it will take you under a minute, to have your own copy of latest V, and less than 200MB, including the .git/ folders.

You can also download .zip releases from https://github.com/vlang/v/releases , without needing git. The .zips there are <15MB, and contain a prebuilt V executable, so you do not even need make to use it.
I recently worked in a fairly large Rust project that I could simply not load into VS Code. rust-analyze would allocate more and more memory until it eventually crashed. I have never seen that with C++ code, besides that time I was investigating how someone was using CImg and found out that the CImg developers thought it was cute to make a single 3 MB header, and that brought the debugger to its knees. It still didn't crash, though!

So yeah, difficult-to-parse codebases are not an exclusive feature of C++.

GM Ultium UAW battery workers win 25% pay increase
So, here is my take. I've built my own battery pack, a pretty big one (170 cells of the largest capacity available), and it has served me well. But: I'm not your average DIYer and have spent a ton of time reading up on the do's and don'ts of pack construction, made a smaller one first to experiment with and have researched pack safety until my eyes hurt.

My short take is that if you are someone who wants to revive their e-bike battery pack after it fails and who does not have extensive experience yet that it is going to be much cheaper and safer to just go out and buy a replacement pack from the same brand. I've seen multiple packs that had burned out wiring (usually: balancing wires, but also the main current carrying conductor), burned out BMS boards. Rarely did I open a pack that had been in service after developing a fault where the fault could not have potentially propagated. That it did not was in most cases sheer luck. Even for brand name gear!

It is super easy to mess up with these. Drop a pack, drop a sliver of wire or interconnect ribbon, misplace a tool and you have a thermal runaway on your hands which you will not be able to stop. Doing this in a facility that is not set up for it (say, your kitchen or living room, especially if it is in shared accommodation such as an apartment building) is super dangerous.

If you're going to do this anyway, prepare to spend a grand or so on tools and a good month or so on creating a safe setup. After that you might as well go into business. I'm all for DIY stuff, but this isn't one of those.

Finally: manufacturers could help with this: they could design their packs to be more reliable and easier to repair. They also could stop price-gouging the consumers on the packs, which is one of the reasons people want to repair them to begin with. But the packs are so chock full of DRM and other nonsense that repairing them properly is specialist work and they are so expensive that there will be a number of people that will try to repair a pack themselves anyway. Just disassembling a pack is not without risk.

If you go down this route feel free to drop me an email and I'll send you a document that I have been working on for a long time to make working on these safer. Some ground rules:

- replace all cells at once

- weld your connections (NEVER solder them)

- use only the same cells

- use only cells that have all been charged to the same voltage

- make a thermal scan of the pack after the initial build during high speed charging and discharging to make sure you don't have a cell in there that somehow stands out (it will surely fail)

- if you drop a pack or a cell consider it lost, even if it seems to still work

- only use A brand cells from a reputable vendor

- do not use recycled cells

- only use the original BMS

- Make sure none of your sense wires are crossed or loose enough that they can cross

- spend as much time on the mechanical part of your build as on the electrical part
