Six brilliant authors who only wrote one novel
I think a lot of EV charging stories are region specific. I pretty much never encounter down chargers, there's always been one working open dispenser available any time I've wanted to charge at a CCS fast charger. I'm not saying people's horror stories aren't real, just that it doesn't seem to be the story everywhere.
Electricity meters have been known for decades, even with payment terminals.after all, they were invented to bill customers for electricity used.
And I can see authors point - if you look at Tesla chargers, it's not only the stalls but whole underground infrastructure with cooling, air conditioners and who knows what else. If cars were designed to use AC instead it would be enough to have an AC outlet (3 phase probably) and a meter, and whole charging station could be built by an electrician, with standard components. Yep you won't get a megawatt power this way, but 30-50kW is realistic
I wish one of these panels invited David Moon, if he's also interested of course. He was one of the main creators of multiple generations of Lisp, and of Apple's Dylan. Not the most popular languages today, but they are very well-designed in my opinion, and David is held in a very high regard by those who worked with him. His long-time colleague Guy Steele has been much more public over the years.

Author here, I found it pretty interesting the amount of similarity between BPF and embedded development. My original background is in computer design and low-level software, so this was a bit of a blast from the past - lots of delicately holding the compiler in just the right way to get it to emit the desired set of instructions, reading through the resulting assembly (_much_ easier with the validator annotating register values), digging deep into language specs and compiler documentation. It makes sense in retrospect, but it caught me off guard when I first started.

Let me know if you have any questions.
The customer service is a potential killer for me. For a while, I was relying on Gmail. Then started seeing the horror stories of people losing their accounts with almost no recourse of getting them back.

I realize the false-positive bans are probably just 1 in a million but that's still too big of a risk for something crucial like my main email. Moved everything to a personal domain.

In old literature, being "barren" was seen as a heart breaking tragedy for women. And countless references to children as a treasure and a blessing.
better yet, the minivan!
I bought one, very reluctantly, when we were exepecting our third child. I really tried to get something else but the soccer-mom Honda was the most comfortable and performant. Now my kids are starting to drive and I get the van all to myself - it's awesome! going biking? just put it inside and don't worry about highway, weather or security for an after ride beer. Need building supplies? go camping? hauling the family on a long road trip. And I'm now into essentially "free miles" with the age and still awesome condition. My biggest fear is any accident will have the insurance company write it off and I'll get nothing towards the current generation of sub-optimal, over-priced vehicles.
If we're talking about infrastructure for road trip charging, I agree with you. I'd estimate that well over 90% of my total car annual milage is for "not road trips" and so when I'm talking about "what infrastructure for charging would we need to electrify half the US fleet?", I'm definitely going to include Level 2 charging at home, offices, and commercial spaces.

(I'd even include Level 1 charging at home, but since that's a really short conversation, it rightly doesn't get talked about much.)
So, a gas pump?

Not everything needs to be an app. Especially in a world where almost nobody can build an app that actually functions.
See the other comment. I agree with him.
This reads as a strange comment to me without any information about which chargers in which country/region you’re referring to.

Nice but it definitely needs to support waterway=stream as well.
Yeah but that's basically non issue now because many people vote for 0.
A lot of talk about pumps. Is it possible to have caffiene on one of those pumps?
Brilliant point! It always depends on the problem you're trying to solve.
What Xata did, was integrate files as a database column, BUT stored the binary content in S3. Thus offering both transactional file management and point in time recovery as well as high performance direct (S3) file access, through a CDN.
Basically Xata implements the orchestration and takes away the pain of managing 2 services.
People assume driving the Alaska Highway in an EV would be difficult, but actually it's extremely easy thanks to all the RV parks with 50 Amp service. They're plentiful, and the cost is already rolled into camping a night.

Is that what you mean, or do you mean that building a society where both parents need to work in order to survive has distracted us from important parts of life that result in a healthier society?

Perhaps one parent working and one at home with plenty of time for both parents to relax and spend time with their family is the key, but that doesn't mean that the man should work and the woman should stay home (or that both parents need to be different genders).
There is the old saying that scrum turns bad devs into mediocre devs and good devs into mediocre ones.
Longterm, it probably is. The problem is the transitional period. The reality of having a population with more elders and fewer working age adults will be absolutely brutal.
A16z is getting 'mad respect' from me for taking this line of the 'ai wars' and generally their attitude on all this. Really cool that they're going straight into 2010 era startup energy on this new wave. Idk I just find them really cool and inspirational.
nice post! startup-within-a-startup is always tough, but it seems like making the team as much like a startup as possible (in every way) is the right approach.
I should have said that there are many problems with Baofengs and similar.

Certainly spurious emissions are the big one. The manufacturers have made some attempt to fit LPFs for the ham bands, but simply don't bother for the bands that they don't legally cover.

And yeah, the "cheap and nasty" aspect is simply the other side of the same coin. If the manufactures had fitted LPFs for each possible band, plus sought type-approval for other bands, they would be unaffordable.

Not to mention that removing keypad panel programming would block any attempt at type approval in the first place.
You describe the exact reason I sold my Civic for a Rav4. My commute often had me looking at tires out my sides, headlights and grill in the rear, and a tow hitch out the front.
The other challenge with using the NEMA plugs is I doubt many of them are rated for as many plug cycles as what a J1772 or Tesla connector is rated for. If that plug is going to get plugged and unplugged several times a day it'll wear out pretty quick.

Israel experimented with communally raising children within the Kibbutz system, but as far as I know the results weren't super encouraging and few places still do it
While I mostly agree... there's something to be said for a simpler, server-driven stack. HTMX is particularly interesting as a point for server driven integration(s). Many (most) apps are for internalized use at a given company... there's a lot of corporate development and most of these applications can scale perfectly fine with a relatively simple stack backed by a traditional RDBMS.

It's usually somewhere between 10k users and 1m users where the rules change entirely and you need to start looking to more modern/advanced approaches. 10k is kind of arbitrary, because you can do some really stupid things with a traditional rdbms with sql.
That part confused me too. I think I have the same ultra wide monitor and it indeed runs 144 on windows. The article ever explained why it is "unsupported" under Linux
Good work, Altanis! After exactness, speed is certainly a priority. For my engine, I settled on Rapier, which also offers excellent performance (and determinism!). Do you think you could compare it with Kinetics?

Can you provide a high-level view of how you achieve that speed? I have also heard of eXtended Position-Based Dynamics as one of the latest improvements in physics engine. Do you have a perspective on that?
A 10kw level 2 charger costs about $2k to install and uses about $1 an hour of power. A 250kw DC charger costs about $50k-150k to install and uses about $30 an hour of power running full tilt. Way lower upfront capital costs and way lower potential for abuse.

In places where people stay for multiple hours, there's a huge argument to install about 25-50 level 2 chargers and make them a free perk instead of one big fast charger. Less complexity, less potential for being blocked or vandalized, etc.
You have to add a /s or something. There are too many people on the Internet who are broken like this.
Would you still use it though if there's a better AI answer from someone else and there's isn't a confusingly placed ad next to it?
Equality is the prerogative of the government. Why do you want equal share in someone's private property? This is what reservations in the private sector mean. Someone takes all the risk, and works their ass off to establish a business and you come in with demands of equality in what someone else has made.
This is a pretty uninformed and distracting article.
How to tell who your best programmer is
No, we don't need caste-based reservations in the private sector. (And I'm saying this as someone that's ST). That would further increase the divide between castes, and I've never heard of anyone being denied a job in private sector based on their caste. It's definitely not the norm.

Reservation should be meant to uplift 1-2 generations, I don't see the point in giving reservation beyond that. I've seen so many rich people from lower castes getting into institutions easily and also availing scholarships by faking their parents yearly income. The whole system is rigged to be honest.
I'm not sure why an application link wasn't provided. How is one suppose to reach them to apply?
> EV chargers aren't this "dumb" for one simple reason: they need to be able to charge you for the power used.
A dumb outlet, if metered properly, would still need some app or something to be able to restrict you from just taking power infinitely.

I'm scratching my head here. The old gas/diesel dispensing stations have solved this problem of restricting people taking all of the fuel in the pump with a disruptive financial technology called blo^H^H^H credit card. And I am really, really struggling to understand why I cant buy electricity directly with my credit card. (I do understand why the app might be better experience in many ways, but it is no excuse for not making it possible to pay with card without stupid obligatory app)
Yeah, a PHEV Sienna would be outstanding.

Chrysler makes a PHEV version of the Pacifica, but only in FWD and I'm looking for AWD.

Yeah but even adding a credit card terminal massively increases the complexity compared to the plain plug the author is talking about here. If you're going to have to include relays and ground fault equipment and payment systems you're 95% of the way to a "complicated" EVSE.
>While this should be especially true for destinations, such as hotels or even apartments

It's really not though? I've never come across an L2 charger that doesn't just work. The DC fast charging is where the problems always arise. At least with an L2 charger, the hotel/apartment can easily track the power consumption being utilized, and also lock it down to only allow charging as they see fit via mobile app, NFC card, or pin. With a 14-50 it's a free-for-all.

I don't have any "loyalty to Google."

There are no options that are better for what I'm willing to spend and they consistently have a quality phone product. I recently switched my internet service to T-Mobile but their phone options are not up to snuff for what I'm willing to pay and their prices are $30 higher for the same level of service.

It's not loyalty. It's economics.

This would be the perfect setting for a "the Road"-style Twilight Zone episode. The ragtag group of survivors have fended off starvation, thieves, murderers, rapists, nasty weather, wild rabid animals, etc. and stumble on to this scene, thinking wow, we made it to that fabled city where everything is still ok.

And then they discover it's all fake. Including, of course, all of the provisions- food, drink.

Oddly, I would think the "limitation" of only using the onboard system for control is an advantage? In that not having the latency of transmission back to a controller has to be measurable?

I probably have very bad intuitions on how long it takes to transmit video and such?

To be fair, I doubt most knowledgeable RV parks would mind. In my area, it is less than <$.15/kwh (often _much_ less). Even for a Lucid, that'd be $16.50 at most. The parking spots here tend to be $50 and up and most RVs would be running A/C off the power most of the day anyway. So the real difference is maybe ~half of that?

I doubt the campground would complain about a customer like this. And, tbh, RV energy usage will vary widely too. They don't really charge differently for a large RV with a big A/C on >90F days vs a smaller one there during early spring.
This is why I have not bought an EV, and I'm not buying one until it's solved.

Our current fueling infrastructure does not care what brand of vehicle I have. It does not require any particular payment method -- I can even pay cash! It is permissionless.

I'll buy an EV as soon as we they have permissionless fueling.

Safety is a red herring. Legacy fueling is far more dangerous than EV fueling -- we're talking about combustible hydrocarbons for crying out loud.

I ordered a NUCLEO-G474RE directly from ST yesterday. I could only add one to the cart, whereas I wanted two. When I recently bought two NUCLEO-F334R8 I didn't encounter this.

So apparently there is limited stock, and someone else that wants one can get it despite me. That's fine; I'll go back later and get another. It's great to see at least one damn company thinking this way.

BTW, they're providing free shipping for a limited time!

> I get what you are saying but does every operating system have the goal of allowing unpredictable multiple user applications running?

Certainly not, cooperative multitasking is used all the time in userspace programs to great effect, and OSs can do the same thing if the limitations are understood.

For the OS that's the focus of this post though, I think it does have the aim of being general purpose and running whatever you want on it. At that point the limitations aren't really acceptable (which the author acknowledges), and that's why the whole question of "what happens when a program misbehaves?" has come up. If the answer is "preempt the process to run it later" then it's not actually a cooperative system and application developers need to keep that in mind.

The implementation. I would argue Microsoft is far more egregious on how it shoves “recommendations” in your face compared to Apple or Google.

Lots of sites have ads for example, but you can quickly discern well integrated ads vs ones that are distracting.
Even though RTI queries to major IITs reveal that almost all faculty comes from un-reserved category, one needs more evidence (than this RTI data) to show that caste discrimination occurred. If there is an opening for two faculty positions in the IITM CS department esp in machine learning and AI, if 20 people are applied, two are selected, and two happened to be from un-reserved category. Does it prove caste-discrimination? Well, look at the profiles of twenty candidates and see their research record and also academic pedigree, see whether one can pick up two candidates from reserved category (that is, SC, ST and OBC). If one can show that, yes, indeed caste-discrimination is occurred: both candidates A (reserved category) and B (un-reserved category) are excellent both academically and research-wise, only B is chosen, yes, one can say that the committee should have picked A.

Btw, I am not a product of IITs or any elite institution in the West/East. So, I am of opinion that best candidates should be picked up irrespective of one's caste. Sometimes, what is 'best' can be under dispute: for instance, a UCLA Ph.D with many publications in STOC/FOCS is picked up over a CMU Ph.D with many publications in tier-2 conferences. Again, what is tier-1, what is tier-2, etc are driven by the CS community, not by the so-called upper-castes from India. Same goes for pedigree: why Ph.D students from top-tier CS departments have better shot at getting faculty jobs than those from tier-2 institutions? Why CS people from American universities have better shot than those who got Ph.D from IIT Ropar/Tirupati? Again, it is community-driven, not by upper castes.
Yes, but even their birthrates are trending lower because they likely have the same pollutants if not more of them being exposed to their respective populaces. You have to look at trends and not just the current rates. It makes sense that they’re also affected, since developing countries do a large portion of manufacturing for developed countries

The big difference to communism is that the Agile Manifesto was written from personal experience of having working teams. The Communist Manifesto was wild speculation about how society could maybe work.

I have worked following the Agile Manifesto for soon 13 years and it works very well. No surprise really, as it's just treating everyone like adults.
Yes let's trap people in apartments they can never move from and force newcomers to pay excessive rents to cover it. Also let's give landlords an incentive to try to make it as unpleasant for those long term tenants as possible.

And of course we will need an expensive and unaccountable bureaucracy to manage all the inevitable conflicts of interest. But it's a small price to pay to avoid the horror of building enough housing units to match population growth.

8x4090 machines should be a lot cheaper than that. 1599*8=12,792. I.e. closer to 16x4090 machines. Sure labor is worth something but he has it in cash, and also there's barely a lot of people (yet) paying high prices for research (non ML ops) labor hours for this yet so the salary wouldn't be that high anyway.

Just a pet peeve when ppl under exaggerate how many gpus/flops a dollar can buy (if you're slighly smart with your money).
Caste is absolutely a huge problem in India as these numbers show. It’s a different question whether it’s a problem in Western companies, especially outside India, and I’m not sure about the data for that.

That being said, even this statistic shows that we should be wary of mapping our understanding of other kinds of discrimination onto caste without being very careful.

In an idealized version of the caste system (which you will see some bigots use to defend it but in the real world the idealized version is nowhere to be seen), it’s literally impossible for those lower caste numbers to be anything other than 0%, because in the idealized version your caste is defined by your profession, so being a professor means you’re not any of those castes.
The plug can handle similar cycles under the spec, but a lot of residential plugs are not.

Those RV site plugs handle 1-2 cycles daily, but they're more robust, more expensive versions.
