> Anita Rajan, general director of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association in the United States, said Japanese automakers were biding their time until they could make electric cars that were as reliable and affordable as the gasoline vehicles.
> “I don’t know if there’s a benefit in being first to market with these vehicles,” Ms. Rajan said. “I think it’s how you’re entering the market and the thoughtfulness that you show for your customers.”

This is probably all much ado about nothing. Toyota's hybrids and PHEVs are selling as fast as they can make them. The only reason their sales numbers aren't higher in the US has been lack of parts! Cannibalizing the rare materials they could use to make their very successful hybrid lineup in order to make fewer/less profitable/less impactful cars seems pretty foolhardy.

Toyota's entire MO is to take old, trusted technologies that they can refine through manufacturing. Even as innovative as the Prius was, it was not a slapped together car to meet market demand. So I find this entire framing fraught.

I think the only warranted criticism of their current strategy is that they have not been aggressive enough about locking in battery suppliers. If Toyota wants to proceed down their current path of making every car in their lineup an ultra-durable 300k-achieving hybrid, they need to make sure they don't get bottlenecked. Every other manufacturer is locking in exclusivity deals with battery manufacturers, and Toyota still has a lot of scaling up to do.

Absolutely not.

You might be confused by the fact that they don't file a lot of parents. That's only because they know countries like China and North Korea will just use the parents like a recipe book.
Really curious to get more info on that file format. Seems like it’s structured as a database and has internal addressing schemes and embedded caching structures to allow for partial IO. The idea of persistent history implies that it records changes as events, which is a good fit for an LSM. In any case it must be a container format, as an LSM alone would not suffice, perhaps it could be a filesystem volume disguised as a file with Apple specific tech behind it.
Eos was Zn-air; if they've switched to Zn-Ni that says something.

It looks like lisp... which I have to say is not used much these days.
I want to add that even if the US produced more oil, we currently don't have enough industrial refining capacity for the type of crude that we produce to meet our demand, so we would still need to rely on foreign imports.

why is anyone surprised by this? I remember that the main discussion around the new China chip embargo was basically that it will only lead to China expediting their domestic chip industry.

US graduates struggle to find work despite tight labour market
It seems to me that attempting to frame spending time with one's family as "incredibly short-sighted" is a perfect example of the "total-work" mentality the article decries. In that case, under what circumstances would you say a person shouldn't feel guilty about seeing their kids when they could be working?

Can you clarify, does that works on the forwarded packets? I assume it should, given the vuln in the scrubbing function, but it would help if that would be stated clearly.
Yeah that's an interesting comparison, though it's mainly b/c Vietnam sees China as its main adversary and threat, along with an opportunity to steal parts of the Asian manufacturing supply chain from China. The shared enemy and shared economic interests b/t US and Vietnam are pretty strongly aligned.

But I'm not sure if such an alignment could be created between the US and Cuba while Cuba remains a communist authoritarian hereditary dictatorship, since there's no shared enemy nearby and no strong shared economic incentive. Seems like the only real alignment would be Cuba becoming a democracy.

There's a whole lot of information out there about the harm caused by stereotypes. Normally I tell people to look it up because it's not hard and I'm not your research assistant, but here's a freebie: "Are Greg and Emily More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal" is a mid-aughts study in which the authors sent out 5k job applications using fabricated equally-weighted resumes that were randomly assigned a stereotypically Black American or stereotypically white American name. Resumes attached to 'white' sounding names were fifty percent more likely to recieve a callback. Would you consider that a reasonable pan-industry attempt by employers to protect themselves from harm based entirely on someone's name?

I only use Zelle from my banks' apps, and banks use TFA with text messages all the time, including from the website, calls to support, and the bank app running on the phone. I'm not saying that TFA texts to your phone are 100% two-factor-valuable from an app on your same phone, but what you're talking about would be a major set of changes to the standard security model everybody follows.

Good luck with that. It is clear how you value that work.
The goal is to have Mojo be fully compatible with Python, so that you should eventually have access to all of the libraries offered in Python. How many libraries will be written in Mojo remains to be seen, depending on whether it catches on or not.

>But perhaps we should punish the board of directors for creating an environment where their subordinates need to look the other way when it comes to safety?

Due process typically requires mens rea, so you can't prosecute people for crimes that they're unaware of. I suppose you could phrase the law to be in terms of negligence, but that's not a silver bullet either. What if the company had a certified ESG box-checker (the "G" in ESG stands for "goverenance" which covers this sort of thing) and did all the required anti-"look the other way when it comes to safety" training sessions and audits, but for whatever reason the incident still happened? Do you still prosecute them? Seems a bit unfair to do so given their hearts were in the right place and took steps to prevent it. Or maybe you let them off? If that's the case what prevents unscrupulous actors from going through all the motions and ticking all the boxes, but not actually caring the underlying principles? eg. SOC2 or PCI compliance
so, in that benchmark, context switch is comparable to copying 64k mem, which is kinda significant, I run some heavy load database with few hundreds threads, and see that it does 100k context switching per sec some times.
You may not be aware that node created a situation where ESM maximizes compatibility when consuming libraries and CJS maximizes compatibility when producing libraries. Its a circular incentive paradigm. I suspect you are consuming libraries using "import" and everything "just works". Well, under the hood you are likely importing many libraries that use CJS "module.exports" because that is what libraries use to ensure their library can be used with both import/ESM AND require/CJS.

The only solution to this problem is to upgrade require work for importing ESM. Once that is implemented ESM will become the natural choice for those publishing libraries. Until that happens library authors are going to continue to use CJS so their libraries are available to everyone.
I was reacting to your GP comment ("Dead! Wow that's very shocking") as flamebait - but looking at it more in context now, I think I misinterpreted you. Sorry about that!

Another option to use rust from Node.js is Neon: https://neon-bindings.com/. It is a little older than napi-rs.

Overall using rust with node is not as seamless as Python with PyO3, but things are improving quickly.
This feature is used since ages by sudo to implement the noexec option, to prevent dynamically linked executables from executing further programs. At some point I took advantage of this (sudo allows specifying a custom .so file for the noexec function) to implement other restrictions in programs run by sudo (of course, there are always ways to go around them).
Something similar (maybe not ai, idk) is included in Google's keyboard app. You can combine many emoji. Not all of them, but it's still quite nice!
> I'm typing this from a corporate laptop with ipv6 explicitly disabled even though my current network supports it, because the required corporate VPN doesn't support ipv6. Today.

And (today) my (mandatory) corporate VPN doesn't support ipv6, but my both laptop and the VPN work just fine when the machine has one or more IPv6 addresses.

I'm having a somewhat difficult time imagining what series of misconfigurations were required to make your corporate network fail in that way.

Anyway. I've been using IPv6 continuously (whether via Teredo, an explicitly-configured 6to4 tunnel, or native dual-stack) for (ugh) nearly twenty years. IME, it works fine, really.

What I’m rejecting is a kind of perpetual motion machine style setup where you need to redirect a bunch of already captured CO2 in order to capture an equivalent amount.

If however the resulting CO2 as they cycle this can be and is in practice truly captured (not just on paper), then sure, I can see the use, if it makes a more efficient way to glean and gather CO2 molecules out of the atmosphere.

Still the energy costs (solar, say) have to be weighed against the opportunity cost of using that solar to simply replace some CO2-generating combustion process directly, avoiding putting most of the differential amount of CO2 into the atmosphere to begin with.

In other words, it’s really hard to see a win here unless they’re going for some kind of tax or PR win.

They have to be buying them for pennies on the dollar.

Every time collectors harass me, they obviously want the full amount but if the previous lender couldn't collect it, they don't waste their time on the same approach. They always push for quick settlement as a fraction of the actual balance (25% or so? Been a while).

Whatever they pay for the debt must be substantially less than n% of the balance.
Rollbar Had a Data Breach
On September 6, 2023 at 8:28AM PDT, we identified an irregularity in our data warehouse query logs. We immediately performed an initial forensic analysis, determining what had occurred and conducting initial assessment of the impact.

Our preliminary analysis established that a cloud platform service account which only had access to our data warehouse was used by an unauthorized party. When we became aware of this access we disabled the service account and began analyzing what actions had been taken by the unauthorized party. The party first tried to launch compute resources, and after that failed for lack of permission, they accessed the data warehouse and ran searches that suggested they were interested in Bitcoin wallets or other cloud credentials. Our investigation indicates this access occurred from August 9, 2023 to August 11, 2023. We will also engage a third-party forensic consultant to assist us in verifying these findings, and that work is ongoing.

Our analysis of the incident continues, but we are contacting you now because our initial forensic analysis indicates the unauthorized party accessed data about your account, including:

Usernames and user email addresses
Account name
Project and environment names
Project access tokens
Project service link configuration

We are taking the following actions:
Project access tokens with 'read' or 'write' scope: these tokens could allow access to your Rollbar project data (occurrences, items, etc). These tokens have been expired. You can refresh each token using the Rollbar UI, API, or Terraform provider.

Project access tokens with 'post_server_item' scope: these tokens could allow access to send data into your project (but not read data). These tokens will be expired in 30 days.

Although our investigation is ongoing, we hold the security of our customers data paramount and are therefore writing to promptly notify you of the discovery and the steps we have taken.

Please feel free to contact us using the information below if you have any additional questions or if there is further information we can provide.

Sincerely,
Brian Rue, Co-founder and CEO

That exactly what people were saying about solar 10 years ago. Hell, some people are still saying that about solar today, but it's what people were correctly saying 10 years ago.

Do you have any reason for why batteries will stop improving before they are mainstream? (As somebody pointed out, your numbers are a bit off, and they are already viable. They just aren't the cheapest option in isolation, so we have natural gas plants and batteries are niche. Do you have a good reason why they will stop improving before they dethrone natural gas?)

Because, just like solar, the physical constraints puts a floor on their price that is much lower than what we need.

Obviously petrochemical refineries are going set prices to maximize profits. They don't need any excuse to do that.

In the US, existing refineries have significant pricing power because environmental laws have made it nearly impossible to build new ones. The issue is compounded in California by idiotic state laws that mandate a unique blend of gasoline only produced by a handful of refineries. This ends up being effectively a direct wealth transfer from consumers to refinery owners without even achieving any significant environment benefits.

Democrats have not been in charge for a couple decades or more.

Manchin has long not toed the line with Democrats, and Sinema is officially not a Democrat, so they are not even at 50 senate votes. And they are the minority in the House, so they clearly do not have any control of Congress.

You also need 60 votes in the Senate for whatever reason, which they are nowhere close to. The last time sort of had it, which was again a heavily compromised 60 votes, was Jun to Dec 2009 during which time PPACA was passed.

It'd be more accurate to say that biographers would not have heard anything (from Steve or any other in-the-know Apple employees) about any projects that hadn't already been unveiled by Apple.
