> Now it's 2023 - the Tesla connector is superior to the European standard, European EV companies still lag behind and the Tesla standard is being adapted by the industry without any government intervention.

This is a misunderstanding of the situation. The reality is Europe is a long way ahead of North America on EV infrastructure.

The European charging networks are compatible with all EVs because of standardization. More investment has gone into charger manufacturing and charging network deployment because of standardization.

You've been able to charge other brands on a Tesla chargers for a long time in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y33AArvMUQ

You can charge your EV on a 400 kW charger from Alpitronic and FastNed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ZWN_-a2j4

Or use a 400 kW charger from Kempower and Shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR2M5W6saAk

Or charge your Volvo truck on a 350 kW Ionity charger. Why not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UAttTG03WA

Or charge whatever EV on whatever charging network you like. Europe has done EV infrastructure right. And they've got a plan to make it even better:

https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/article/f...

In contrast, North America continues to thrash about trying to arrive at a charging standard. It's still going to be years of fiddling around to get anywhere near where Europe already is.

The result North America has ended up with is CCS chargers with Tesla's plug on the end. North America could have and should have got to standardization sooner.
What do you mean? To me it's not even close.

C# doesn’t really offer language syntax to deal with self many DUs. So you will probably suffer. Perhaps it can change if the language supports DU in the future.
But still at 350W TDP. I want gobs of ECC memory and PCIe lanes without feeling like I'm driving a hummer every time I power on my desktop.
The owner of the charging station has no interest in cars taking up a charging space for any longer than they need to.
I love that take on it, thanks for reconciling me with this saying.

> They can't really be done as libraries.

It's definitely the case that you can't implement a string type in WASM and have it interoperate with JavaScript strings.

But there is no reason that JavaScript strings can't be a "special" kind of import that provides functionality implemented by the engine. In other words, #include <wasm/wtf16string.h> could provide an API for the built-in JavaScript string, much like #include <ruby.h> provides access to the native Ruby string in Ruby extensions.

I believe this is how the counter-proposal works: https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-string-builtins/blob/main/...

For engines that do not have a built-in JavaScript-like string type, the wasm/wtf16string.h library could be implemented in WASM as a polyfill. In that case, there is no native string to interoperate with, so no disadvantage to implementing directly in WASM (except perhaps a bit of speed penalty).

YouTube is the best thing on the internet. Prove me wrong. I scoffed for many years, but honestly Google Search and Gmail could go away tomorrow. Sure, if it did, it would make my life hell for a few weeks as I switch all my email accounts to a new provider, and maybe I would miss search a little. But YouTube?? The entire knowledge of the human race now resides in YouTube. It should be replicated to the Library of Congress, the Internet Archive, and the Encyclopedia Galactica.

With all the money that goes into weapons systems, it’s only going to be a decade before we have jets, tanks, artillery, etc that are all (semi)automated.

Rather than expensive jets and tanks, swarms of cheaper robotic systems are going to overwhelm current technology.
Well, in my case I have access to a couple servers with >250 threads, and it will happily peg all those out until it has to put vmlinux together, then it goes down to a thread or two for a bit, and then they all go back to 100% while the modules are processed.

So, yes, but presumably given enough threads the limit becomes how fast one can collect and link the vmlinux which is mostly still done serially ala Amdahl's law. Oh and there is some IO/etc bounding at the beginning checking the config/etc. Some sites have kernel compile benchmarks and for the most part they tend to indicate nearly linear scalability. Although there tend to be two major config differences, some people benchmark with something like an allmodconfig vs people who benchmark with a more minimal kernel module setup. The former are the ones that can be as slow as an hour or so on machines without a lot of cores, and the latter are the ones that finish in sub 60 seconds on fairly modest hardware. But given enough cores its possible to turn the former into he latter.
> The US CCS standard that is being abandoned is not the same as the EU standard.

No. NACS is CCS chargers with Tesla's plug on the end. The plug will become CCS Type 3.

Older Teslas (2019 and earlier) won't work on NACS chargers without a CCS retrofit:

Poe’s law got me here again. I think you’re joking but plausibly someone could say this and not care that they used the word "dictator".
Yes, PDF is what I really want, but apparently it didn't get the "<img> tag treatment" so, we have to leave with "SVG with text as paths, and perfect layout" or "SVG with embedded fonts (a subset if you're brave), and selectable text".
That sucks. I can believe if you have a tough medical condition then there's no limit to how expensive life can be :-(

And yes, marketplace insurance is poor. I get paid a fraction of $500K and the deductible for the whole family is under $4K. Max out of pocket is about $5K, but we never hit it. I don't pay any premiums. If I were single, it would be much cheaper - I mostly pay for the dependents. Big companies negotiate good deals, and they'll often have employees who will act as your advocate for weird billing problems. Insurance companies don't want to upset a big client.

Sad fact of life in the US that one of the reasons people cling to soul sucking jobs is this - even when they have enough money to retire (but still too young for Medicare).
My kids like repeats, but not THAT many repeats… and they mostly like tv shows. A full run of a TV show on DVD is around $50. So less than 3 tv shows would pay for a full year of Disney+ with all the shows.

Also, my kids go through phases… watching the same shows on repeat, then switching. It would cost way more to buy the shows than stream them.
You can split them up if they become so successful that uncompetitive behavior just falls out of it. Like people who want to split away the app store from the iPhone (regardless of the fact that other phones and app stores exist: Apple's vertical closed ecosystem makes the iPhone more popular).

That Tom Wolfe piece was a great read. Thank you.
The US didn’t just get things done, though. We also did a huge government initiative to standardize a connector, including allocating billions to charging networks that adopted it. This connector wasn’t Tesla’s because Tesla’s connector wasn’t open/libre. Tesla opened their (physical) connector after it became obvious that it was either that, or be forced to abandon theirs entirely.

Also: as I understand it: NACS is only the physical Tesla connector; the digital elements (protocols etc.) are still CCS. That’s important.
My roommate in college watched Gladiator every single night for like a full year.
PDFs are typically already compressed. They are essentially compressed postscript.
I couldn't imagine worrying about it, but maybe it's because I think I'm doing fine. Credit score is such a strange game to me.

Closed a loan? That costs me points, somehow.

Dad got a new cell phone and they ran the wrong person's credit? That cost me points too, because clearly their screw up was my fault. Hope he was still approved.

I rent and the cars are old. Sometimes I feel like I play on hard mode by having a $3000 VISA as my only debt.

If I make a $2000 purchase, they report it Tuesday, I pay that back to them Thursday, and I check my score? Woah, dropped 80 points! What a delinquent!

That might have become more of a rant than I intended. I should probably just apply for more credit stop the large points changes like this.
My understanding is that Tesla opened it up, because the US government would fund EV charging stations, as long as they support more than one auto maker?

So it's not exactly a government free success story.
My frustration, possibly perhaps how I'm coding, is wrapping every instruction on an error wrapper and then I've got twenty if not an error do the next thing.

I code solo, so I'm not sure how others do it.

The alternative is to have twenty methods?

I build a data structure, modify its state in a dozen ways and then return it to the caller.
I do too. Error handling is fine-ish mostly. The issue I have is there are three forms of error handling.

Errors : Fine.
Panics : Weird because golang already had errors.
Segfaults: Gah! (though this is a cgo issue apparently)

> paid comp to the execs for a full year

IDK if Shone did things the most intelligent way, but the general story is not uncommon.

Shareholders/creditors have a mess if the CEO and CFO walk out the door for their new job; it is financially beneficial for them to liquidate assets and shut the door.

Shareholders/creditors don't have a mess when the engineer and a product manager walk out the door to their new job.

That's how the logic works.
Yes, but we do have a common idiom for error-propagation in Go. It's more explicit than the proposed alternative, in fact.
Same, and the reduced strain on my internet bandwidth has also helped me. Now is the time to buy, as physical media is quickly disappearing.

Either the economy is truly free, or it is "well-run" aka state managed.

I don't know where you live, but virtually every place I can think of with strong labor protection policies have them for the benefit of those with jobs at the expense of those without jobs who would like to get one. Harder to fire equals harder to hire with few exceptions.
NACS is CCS with Tesla's plug on the end. The industry has coalesced around CCS.
Companies are owned by people too. The idea that somehow the decision to engage in a consensual pooling of resources to organize an entity to conduct business somehow degrades a person is a wild take. In fact, the existence of companies as separate entities is in some way an insulation from the sort of state intervention upon the individual and their right to association that you describe. That's not a higher standard. That's higher barbarism, at best. Courts have the power to compel, coerce, and enforce through, however removed, the use of force upon the individual who may or may not have voluntarily assented to such power. Why would anyone hire anyone in the first place if you can't downsize when needed? You'd leave, if the state lets you, and in many places, it simply won't.
I feel like you're calling out deep learning.

Or one of the ML variants if you prefer a GCed language. F#, OCaml, SML, were great choices when go was written. Reason has been added since.
The end result of that would be that the poorer states would descend into something resembling anarchy, absolute misery. They currently depend on the richer states to support them and the way all 50 are collectively linked together by federal programs is what makes it possible for a lot of states to exist.

Of course NY and CA and some of the other states would be just fine on their own but we'd be basically abandoning millions of people to suffer and potentially die. Not a good thing to do.
If they do that then everyone will realize there's actually not that much content on the service
I mean, in codespaces you have scripts that run as the codespace is built. So we basically have s3 buckets with appropriately-sanitized (hopefully) data dumps that the repos copy down and then import into the database.

You can tell codespaces to include the AWS commandline tooling automatically via the devcontainer "features" attributes. And you can tell it to run a script once the codespace has initially been created using the postCreateCommand (which imo is a lot easier to debug than beforeCreate...

For us the s3 credentials live in the github repo as codespace secrets (although I think you could set up a much better auth approach via the vscode aws plugins possibly).

Not only that, the market for electric cars is going to overtake the market for gasoline cars. They don't need to keep 61% of the market forever -- they probably won't -- but if they held 15% of the market once >90% of new cars are electric they'd be selling more cars than they do now.
If it's a specific example, why mention her age.

What you're trying to retcon into the comment is that they really meant to say "My mother, who is not great with technology, can easily sign up for Netflix."

This is the way to communicate this in a non-ageist way. The age was thrown in as a clear attempt to draw on stereotypes that the elderly are poor with technology.

Unless the law has changed, in California back pay is senior to everything except tax debt. And the company officers are personally liable for it.

It should work that way everywhere. Executives need to be incentivized to do layoffs while there’s still cash for it. Defrauding employees is a terrible evil.

Margins are tight in the US, a typical gas station has margins comparable to a grocery store. Something in the neighborhood of 2% IIRC. Adding a convenience store definitely helps increase that.
Ideally - however there are points where it's not possible yet.

Bindings like pycairo are a good example.

On windows a WHL can be provided.

On Linux it can't - Cairo (which pycairo binds to) is shipped by the distro, and distros are free to enable or disable different features.

Since the C bindings are linked to the cairo shared library, and that includes all the backends you can't build that and know if would work in a distro.

There are two use cases for pycairo - in one you might not care what the system provides and if the pycairo who provided its own Cairo shared object, that would be fine.

In the second use case you want to use the system provides Cairo, e.g. to work with Gtk.

It's impossible to resolve this workout changing how Cairo itself works and it's API.

The result is no pycairo whl on Linux, and users who have to install all the dependencies (which once go to pango you pull in Gtk, X, freetype etc).

Cairo isn't the only example but it's one I know.

A lot of these are libraries that bind system libraries and predate virtualenv / venv - when they were created compiling things was fine.
I do appreciate that. Have edited my comment with your correction.
It says some things about our economic system that "lower economic growth" is a reasonable and valid goal for government entities to pursue.
For certain niche applications… this is actually a very good thing.

Case in point. Radiation hardness, the ability of a chip to resist the long term effects of radiation damage is highly related to the cross sectional area of the wires. The shiny efficient circuits we make now with their tiny single digit nanometer surface features… are getting to the point where we’re only working with something a few dozen atoms wide. Which means that when high enough energy radiation slams into that part of a circuit, even if all it does is knock a single atom out place or change its atomic structure by neutron or proton capture or splitting it into two or more new atoms… regardless of the result your damaging an appreciable portion of the circuit and It won’t be able to take much before the cumulative effects of exposure to all the radiation degrades the integrated circuit traces and causes eventual failure. A lot of space grade hardware gets around this with having secondary backup hardware or using FPGAs so damaged silicon can be routed around over time. But this gets expensive to use for everything…

Having a way to build basic components like power management watchdogs and other critical circuitry that doesn’t require a lot of “smarts” but does need to be reliable… definitely could benefit from this sort of technology.
Tis one looks like it can right itself. The legs spin 360.
Slimmer cables on superchargers are Tesla being clever and pushing more amps over the cable than the cable is rated for, and monitors when the cable overheats. Everyone else seems to do it by the book and has cables thick enough for their max amperage.

BTW, CSS2 supports 3-phase AC charging, which is common in Europe, but not in the US. In this regard NACS would be a downgrade for Europeans.
If you haven't tried Ideogram or DeepFloyd, those are better yet at the specific case of "writing verbatim text in your prompt". To the point Ideogram's trending page is entirely taken over by images of Latina women's names with bling effects and Disney characters last I looked.

DALLE3 is definitely amazingly higher quality but I still feel it's kind of… useless. It's too hard to control in conversation form, because it's not a multimodal LLM but rather just works by rewriting text prompts. ChatGPT doesn't really know what dalle can and can't do, the actual dalle model still frequently fights you and just generates whatever it wants, when it generates prompts it sometimes leaves out or writes conflicting details, and it writes every prompt in "friendly harmless AI voice" so there's superfluous hype adjectives.

This is odd because GPT4V actually is a multimodal model, and asking it to describe images as text works really well IME.

Common failure modes I saw playing with it:

* if you set something in eg "France", ChatGPT will rewrite it to be diverse and inclusive by literally saying "diverse people" a lot, but then also adds a lot of super-stereotypical details, and then dalle ignores half of it. So you get sometimes-diverse French people who are all wearing striped shirts and berets in front of the Eiffel Tower.

* You can have a conversation with it and tell it to edit images, which it does by writing new prompts, but it's dumb and thinks the prompts are part of the conversation. So a second round prompt will sometimes leave out all the details and just say "The girl from before" and produce a useless image.

* Composition is usually boring (very center-aligned and symmetrical) and if you try to control it by using words like "camera", it will put cameras in the picture half the time.

* Typical AI failure modes: "anime" generates a kind of commercial/fanart style that doesn't exist rather than frames from a TV show. You can't generate things if they're hard to explain in English, like "a keyboard whose keys are house keys".

But it's really good at putting things in Minecraft.

Call me old fashioned, but no amount of execs introing me to companies that are hiring forgives them for realizing they don't give a shit about me and my job because they'd rather make more money. They should have thought about that before hiring in the first place. Severance isn't a reward, it's the absolute bare minimum.

> The same way that as an Australian citizen you don't have to abide by a ban on e-cigarettes in Singapore even if the law is written in a way that says it applies globally.

What? If you're an Australian citizen you are bound by many Australian laws under the concept of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. This is mostly used to charge for offenses around CSA, human trafficking, etc. but also applies to drug use. While it's very unlikely you'd be charged for violating laws around e-cigarettes, that doesn't mean the law doesn't apply.
