I was curious too, but it sort of makes sense. What batteries dislike is not charging per se, but heat. When you use fast charging in a Tesla, it actively runs a liquid cooling system, so the battery is probably heating up a lot less than the one in your phone and damage is correspondingly less. Also, phone batteries only have a couple cells, Teslas have several thousand: the wear of charge/discharge cycles can be spread out over all of them.
I hope you realize that what you are advocating for in both of those cases leads to the exploitation of the poorest classes. You may want to read the article I cited for Point 4 to see why this is a really bad idea (and also the DHS infographic I posted). Not only are you advocating for the commoditization of human life, you are asking for the creation of an organ harvesting industry. Does this not violate any ethical standards you have?
Both of these things are simply observations from a limited perspective. If the universe just dies doesn’t it seem weird for it to have ever existed in the first place? Surely this one thing that is all that ever could and does exist didnt just happen to start existing 13 billion years ago and we’re just lucky enough to be around to experience the short existence of all there ever is and could be.

You made very strong claims in your opening post. Asking you to provide some proof to support those claims is perfectly valid.
This is how a lot of online journalism works today. Come up with an agenda you want to push that is sure to start flame wars (and drive advertising traffic), search for it on Twitter, find a single Tweet posted by anyone that agrees with your view (or just post it yourself from an alt account), and write a clickbait title and short article linking to that Tweet.

"Subscribers quitting Netflix in droves over new policy."

"No one uses Google anymore."

"AI replacing 80%+ of programmers at software companies."

"People outraged over [latest nothingburger]."

You can come up with an unlimited amount of catchy content, and most of it makes it to the front page of sites like HN and Reddit.
This is an ad right? Surely the Food Network was paid for this. It reads like a Ronco infomercial.

I am a professional chemist (Ph.D.). After a time, one gets a chemical intuition (as I've heard it called). There are just things that you know or you know where to look and how to filter irrelevant information.

All of that depends on your training and experience. I am not particularly strong in the organic department; however, I am quite expert in areas of physical, aqueous, and computational chemistry. I'm also a geochemist, and have significant lab experience in mostly analytical chemistry. Needless to say, I'm a decent programmer, know a bunch of lab stuff, am quote proficient in linear algebra, and so on. Those main and ancillary skills together give me a pretty good idea of what's going on without having to consult any references.

Resources that I use daily: PubChem, ACS journals, my textbooks, visualization tools, and some software if I'm targeting a certain outcome. IUPAC for naming organics (rarely for me).

Also, I answer questions on the Chemistry Stack Exchange site (not so much these days) which requires a decent amount of digging in order to answer coherently.
It would be a complete and utter waste of money which would be a net loss at best over about a 40 year period.

It's not hard to calculate the economics of batteries for residential solar (I've done it repeatedly), but I can save you some time: it's pointless. Because if it was viable, then it would cheaper and more efficient for utility companies to build their own grid batteries (which they do: but not for long-term energy storage, they use it for grid stability).

The price you pay for off-peak power, will always be slightly less the minimum cost of battery ownership. Because if batteries were cheaper to own, then you would get that price via your electricity bill anyway.

I would take a good job in my area if it meant going in to the office a few days a week. I would take one within a few hours drive if it meant going in once a week or less. It would need to be a great offer at a great company for me to come in five days a week, and even then if the commute is over a half hour or so I probably wouldn't do it.

98% chance I won't move for a job right now. It would need to be an absolute dream job with next level compensation. Wife/kids/family/house all here and happy and that's a huge deal. Once you're settled down moving for jobs is an entirely different ball game than when you're young.
right these are the extremes. But my point is life on earth no matter how inhospitable we make the planet would be strictly easier than on the moon, or mars. I don’t think we will go extinct, but we may become greatly diminished.
That sounds more like a BMW problem unless you were putting huge mileage on it. Lots of 90s vehicles on conventional oil would go over 300,000 miles without replacing any major parts. Just alternators, plugs, and $10 sensors. Anything newer running on full synthetic is a total piece of shit if it isn't hitting 400-500,000 miles

I have jk mapped to escape in vim, and for a key combo that seems like it should never occur naturally, I’m often surprised how often it misfires when I actually need to type “jk”.

Globally remapping hundreds of things like “t” and “st” would actually be quite frustrating I think.

Like imagine you’re emailing your friend about a trip to st petersburg, or about some code containing the variable t, etc.

There is no "need for share price increases" and none of this is necessary or inevitable. A publicly traded company can run at a steady pace and pay a nice dividend without the growth hacking and enshittification we see in tech. This is an industry problem.
If you’re on a Mac and using a Dell monitor (I know it does it for the Dell Ultrasharp, not sure if it’s for all Dells), check your monitor settings to see if the computer is actually sending RGB to the monitor. Chances are, even over HDMI, it’s using YPbPr. Every mac I’ve ever used (20 or more over the past 10 years), and every Dell monitor (at least 5), the mac is sending the the display signal as YPbPr instead of RGB. Just Google, “Macos Dell YPbPr” and you can find complaints going back 10+ years.

I get a lot of computers to use for a brief period of time (consultant), and fixing that on Macbooks every couple months is non-trivial. Sometimes it’s impossible if it’s an older version of MacOS because older versions required overriding system files and booting into single-user mode.
1. It’s not your resource to allocate.

2. The grid mostly doesn’t care how far the battery is from the panel.

3. Lithium ion is an incredibly inefficient means of storing power that doesn’t have to be portable. Grid storage doesn’t use Li ion because it isn’t cost effective.

In summary the major misallocation of resources is using lithium batteries to store grid power at all. At home solar is the next Great Leap Forward for humanity. It's about as logical as making steel at home.

In case you didn't get the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

It's the same problem in both cases. Why is it different now so we should apply an exclusionary standard?
But people aren't replacing their batteries every 8 years.

Modern solar panels are usually rated to 90%+ production at 20 years. Mine are rated for 92%. It turns out all the sturm und drang about having to replace solar panels and "oh-my-god manufacturing emissions will outstrip the benefits produced over their lifetime" ... was bunk. Rounded down: no one ever replaces their solar panels. In all likelyhood even 100 year old panels will still be producing >50% of their rated output. For the rare case where someone replaces panels the old panels are re-sold to a new user... they are very rarely junked.

Batteries don't last quite as long but they have similar characteristics. People forget about range anxiety and just drive the vehicle. It turns out most people don't see capacity reductions anywhere near the dire predictions. They often don't notice the capacity reduction nor care even when they do notice. Even when someone wrecks an EV the batteries are often not recycled - people buy and use them either as replacements for their own vehicles or for power backup systems. Fleet stats are in the early stages but so far even after driving for 10+ years most Tesla owners are on the original battery and happy with it.
For all we know every 15 billion years a universe worth of matter springs into existences blowing the existing matter outside of our visible universe. This is a contrived point but we don’t know what the universe looks like at really large timescales beyond our visible universes birth. It could (and likely does) get weird.
Their software is a huge part of their defensibility
> they lost to their own perverse incentives

This, IMO, is actually a good thing. If Google stayed really great (and thus dominant), there might be less incentive for new info retrieval and knowledge/"cognitive" tech. But the decay of Google makes consumers far more likely to experiment with alternatives. It sort of feels like the circle of (tech) life.
Recycling EV batteries would continue to produce CO2 (by the shady metrics people use to attach CO2 production to a process which does not include any emissions directly from the manufacturing process, unlike say, concrete production).
Point of order. Models don't define squat. They describe. The world works as it pleases.
Am at a fully remote position after years commuting from the East Bay to SF. Don’t miss BART, don’t miss the commute to the office, and won’t go back. I am remote only from this point forward. It works well for our team and if I decided to switch roles I would absolutely prioritize orgs that have figured out how to be effective remotely. It is absolutely possible and honestly feels like a useful filter when assessing how adaptive an org is to changing circumstances. Clinging to an in office approach feels distinctly horse n carriage to me at this point.
Very neat John! Bookmarked.
If you went down a rabbit hole and done research, you should have been able to find evidence of such things. And there is a lot of bad stuff they've done that hasn't gotten mentioned by their Wikipedia article.

Kiwifarms, now banned, official twitter page said their goal was “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. ( Source: https://archive.is/jYp5p ).

I think Kiwifarms is (borderline) criminal. Null, the admin of the site, outright said he was ok with users posting stolen financial information, such as Social Security Numbers and Credit cards. Source: https://archive.is/0fOcS . There are many examples of private financial information being posted on the site.

I would describe them as operating with a paper thin layer of "plausible" deniability. Officially you aren't allowed to harass or interact with the targets. But posting their home address, stolen passwords, phone numbers, and private information about relatives is all allowed. (Which would have no use if they were simply a gossip forum).

But even the rule against interacting with "lolcows" (called "cowtipping") is rarely, if ever, enforced. For example, one user had sex with a "lolcow" and posted photos. The admin explicitly said they would allow the content to remain up: https://archive.is/zYnpK#35%
Great feedback, thanks for that! There's plans to support two taps soon. Same for an 'are you sure' button when giving up. The reason the button is there (aside from its psychological benefit to not give up in early playtesting) is that it allows players who get stumped at a certain level to save their high score to the leaderboard without finishing the game. As explained in the post linked above, puzzle games are, in some sense, different from arcade games in that you can never just die.

Which brings us to the next point: 'endless' mode handles the game over state with a countdown timer, ensuring a convergence toward an end game even in a (theoretically) infinite game mode. But that mode is purposefully designed to be more arcade-like and speedrunnable, versus 'classic' mode which is dedicated to strategic patient thinkers. If timing in games stresses you out, definitely feel free to stick to classic instead of endless mode. Many folks love the timing aspect, but if you've never been into things like blitz chess, it's totally understandable.

Thankfully, you'd be happy to hear that the scoring system is purposefully designed to minimize the impact of timing in classic mode for exactly that reason (check out the 'Scoring System' section in the post).

p.s. I'm surprised to hear drag and drop is giving you issues on your phone, sorry about that. Not sure any players have had that issue before. Do you mind sharing what device/os/browser you're using, and if you're accessing echochess.com in a fresh browser tab directly?

> I wonder how a prolonged ride can affect the range.

It can make a huge difference. I noticed articles this year talking about how bad EV range is in very hot weather (>95F).

At first, I thought this was implausible. Then I looked at the data on some days where I had a lot of short trips interspersed with lots of cabin overheat protection and preconditioning. If I extrapolated from that, I'd have horrible range! I never noticed, because range never matters on days like that.

On a road trip in the same conditions, range has been pretty good.

This is not (or shouldn't be) a controversial issue. Trump et.al. went way beyond "free speech." They actively conspired, and took concrete steps, to overthrow a presidential election.

That's like saying, if I recruit some friends to plot a murder, and even attempt it, I'm protected by "free speech."

And anyway, "free speech" only enjoins the government from prohibiting speech. It does not protect the consequences of that speech, such as the classic example of yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

I think you're confused about your family member's anecdote. I'm telling you straight up that cold weather operation is a minor impact, 10-20% or so per the Teslamate data from 25k miles of travel in my Model Y. I don't know what to tell you except that you are simply wrong.

FWIW, "vampire drain" is a term from years ago, and indeed there were bugs at various times with various subsystems that led to faster-than-expected drain. No, the Tesla doesn't cost $200/month to heat a battery in the cold (which is like 1900W continuous at my rates, please be real).
> ICE cars don't really lose range, but they do degrade faster in ways that EVs don't

I understand ICE have more moving parts, but this doesn't really hold up. If you DON'T INCLUDE battery costs, then EVs begin to be cheaper in maintenance after ~3 years (in the first 3 months they cost ~2.3x more in maintenance and this figure gradually reduces). However, there have not been significant studies that go beyond this range which is when battery issues/replacements start to factor in. I wouldn't be surprised if after 10 years maintenance costs for EVs would again be higher than for ICE

Coincidentally, I had an AirTag in a silicone case on a pair of AirPod Pros that was stolen. Apparently, I must've dropped them in my mixed-development's garage. I knew where they were but they went into a controlled access space inside of an unoccupied (except for security) Google building. I proceeded to inquire at the building's entrance to no avail. Then, I opened a case with Austin PD. As it so happened, I could see them move from the commercial building onto the highway and then to a residence just outside of town. Because of jurisdiction precedence, the PD in the other town couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it. The thing with APD is they are critically understaffed by about 200 officers and rarely/never respond to anything nonviolent except after 48 hours, so theft and burglary is a free-for-all. No officer was ever assigned and the criminals disabled the AirTag. So much for AirTags.

Is tape really that expensive nowadays? You can find LTO-7 tape drives on ebay for under 1k USD and actual LTO-7 tapes new from the manufacturer for less than 50usd a piece.

If you are storing enough data that you are even considering tape, the cost of your tapes is going to be just as much as a second hand drive fairly quickly and the break even point against HDDs is like 5-6 HDDs or tapes.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

I don't doubt that Amazon is a great company. But if you are asserting that it got there because of the LPs I find it hard to believe. Are you suggesting that had those people "had backbone" and "were right, a lot", then AWS wouldn't have succeeded? That seems quite far-fetched.

The LPs look good on paper. But it's a stretch to call it a decision-making framework because the LPs are so vague and open to interpretation. Furthermore, they are often used by those in power to exploit those who are not, as illustrated by the story.

Then again, I don't work for Amazon so what do I know.
I've worked on a project where MongoDB GridFS was used quite successfully as the backing store for a CMS system. If I recall correctly, GridFS gives you versioning out of the box, which the CMS leveraged to let users roll back files/images/videos to older versions.

That was a production system and used to get hammered with requests. It didn't even have a CDN in front of it for the first few years.

And that was MongoDB 2.4 so I'm assuming GridFS has matured even more since then.
I don't give a crap about the industry. I'm only interested in remote jobs at this point for any industry. I guess I understand the reasons people give, wanting to leave the house, interact with co-workers, whatever, but the health benefits for me have been tremendous. Most of the spine and joint problems from not moving around enough gone. I run every day. I lift every day. I cook all of my own food from scratch and have eaten the healthiest I've ever eaten for years now. I sleep better. The quality of life impact is tremendous. My schedule is far more consistent. I get to sleep on time, wake up without an alarm, don't have to adhere to the schedule of other people.

Thankfully, as it stands, it would make no sense for me to go an office anyway. My company is 100% remote and the only "office" they have is a co-working space six states away from me that seats 10 people. But I'm a consultant anyway. I work for customers everywhere in the country. Where I'm physically located is irrelevant. I'm not going to move my entire family every few months to be where the next customer is, so remote is the only arrangement that even makes sense.

And it's not like this is some kind of new concept. I remember before I started doing this work, I was still in the Army and my last job was in the 1st CAV division headquarters. At the time, we had units in Estonia, Afghanistan, and Korea, and had to coordinate and meet with all of them. Obviously can't be in four countries at once. This happened from the division operations center, but it was still remote collaboration. When I first got, much of my early work was classified, so I worked from a SCIF. Had to go to the office, but many of the people I worked with were still not physically co-located. The were military and intelligence officers posted all over the country in different installations. We managed to work together perfectly fine even though I never met any of them.
