Mullvad? 72$ yearly instead of the price hike with Nord, pretty easy to set and forget an always-on vpn. Are clients that bad these days that hard to miss red/green on/off toggles are the hassle or where's the friction?
I'd assume the "dog" designs have better movement in many terrains. Trying to drive through a forest, swamp, jungle, and plenty of other terrains is tricky to impossible while something with legs can easily go through it.
Revenue. Automakers did not build their own networks, so they must now contribute to have access to something required to encourage EV sales.

Gas stations (very roughly speaking! lots of Superchargers are colocated at grocery stores, malls, and other places humans can comfortably dwell for 15-30 min) don't want to front the hundreds of thousands of dollars per station for the equipment, so Tesla did. Paid for out of Model S and X margins early on, and more recently through profits from total sales. Remember, fuel sales are razor thin margins, pennies per gallon. The profit is on the snacks in the gas station store. Similar with fast DC charging, it is not a profit center due to demand charges (utility charges for pulling megawatts of power on demand) and charging infra capex [1] [2] [3]. But you must have this network to soothe range anxiety, as non Supercharger networks in the US are frankly garbage (as the Dept of Energy Secretary recently discovered on a PR EV roadtrip [4]).

> “To dive deeper into this sum-of-the-parts valuation, we modeled & projected out Tesla’s supercharger network, taking into account access & revenues from other OEMs using stations across the United States. Ultimately, we estimate that Tesla’s supercharger business will be roughly 3%-6% of total revenues, translating to a $10 billion – $20 billion business by 2030.” [5]

> Plus they still have to buy the subscription

Not necessarily...
Yeah. Mullvad. Actually good too.

Something like $5.30/mo (forever). They take literal cash (as one of the options). WireGuard support. They actually do privacy, not just market it.

Edited to fix price estimate and clarify it isn’t just for the first year.
Same here. Netflix is running out of old content. They were great with this for a while, but have incomplete sets of shows, which defeats the point of binging on them.

With Disney+, I can still watch Iron Man 2 if I wanted. HBO were the champions of original content and I can watch Silicon Valley the whole year if I wanted. I only watch TV to chill during lunch hour and don't need that much, but I need to be reassured that the content will still be there in 8 months.
I see what you're saying, but it's pretty different from an open core analytics product or something. This is a language/dev environment and the bar is a lot higher because 1) I know it's going to be a big investment to learn the language and ecosystem 2) I'm deeply locked-in technically by writing my stuff in this language 3) the competitors are open source and at this point I'm not worried about python, numpy, typescript etc going away. My feedback is basically that despite this project looking cool, I will not be writing any Mojo until it's open source.
FTL already exists, so there's not really any point making new video games anyway.
kids love repeat content

This is very true, to a certain age. My kids would watch some things over and over again, until they reached a certain age when there was an abrupt change. Once that change happens it's polar opposite, they could not fathom watching something a second time.

This should be illegal, and probably is, but it's very hard to enforce. Unless they ever want to business in Europe.
Powell's education left him (like all of his peers) unable to comprehend an economy that is not in labor surplus. His one thought is to get back to the familiar ground that was tacitly assumed in all of his textbooks. The known methods of causing a labor surplus will no longer work, but he knows nothing else, and neither does anyone who might be a candidate to replace him.
I wonder what kind of de-optimizations non Tesla makers are signing up for when their hardware gets used on Tesla owned charging infrastructure? (And vice versa)

As a thought experiment imagine a Ford gas station where the pumping infrastructure is the same but when a Ford car was present some advantage exists, like maybe optimized octane without extra cost or maybe the pump ran a little faster.

Or maybe another analogy would be Walmart running on AWS. Sure there are contracts, guarantees, etc, but there could be other data leaks that give a competitor advantage.

Right move from Jon. The man has integrity!

Can't say I really liked his new show much anyway, despite being a huge The Daily Show fan when he was on it.

I can't imagine an AI story would be much of an issue for Apple, right?
That’s exactly what we do - we sample relevant parts of the DOM and use the model to write the logic for selecting that element. This works pretty well and saves a lot of time that developers otherwise spend inspecting the html structure to write the selectors themselves.

Going forward we’re excited to experiment with more intelligence at runtime e.g. using AI to try to recover if the selector wasn’t found.
I think the form factor Microsoft created with the notebook-style foldable dual screen tablet was really cool.

> Is it possible to go from linux administrator into something related to robotics without a major amount of training?

Certainly possible. You are probably not going to work on the core control, planning or perception algorithms, but many of these robots run linux systems. Managing them, especially at scale, requires a lot of linux know-how. (Both on the robot and off the robot too! Data pipelines, CI/CD, MLOps, etc. All required for the project to sail smoothly.)

I’m working at a self driving car company. As a first approximation self-driving cars are robots on four wheels. As a secondary approximation they are weird data centers with sporadic network connections. Initially we needed a lot of robotics expertise to make the product do the basic things, but as things mature we also needed a lot of linux expertise to scale and get us to a smoothly running machine.

I assume you are not in the UK , so probably not of direct interest to you but here is one of our job adverts which is tailormade for someone with the right kind of linux expertise: https://apply.workable.com/oxa/j/EB627E54F2/

Yep, absolutely terrifying!

There's always the old chestnut that if your country doesn't develop it, another country (or well-funded faction) with fewer scruples will, and if they think that their tech gives them a significant advantage over you, war is more likely (because they will have a much stronger belief they can win / win at a lower cost).

That's also why we see slick video reveals of stealth bombers and missiles nowadays. The best weapon is one you never have to use in anger.
It would be interesting to build something like this but with real books from Z-Library or something. Not saying that's necessarily ethical or not.

But it would be interesting to see the physical scale of large archives.
Due to the nature of my work I'm often in a position to write, deploy and then maintain systems that are running my code and generally have to play the part of top tier support for the entire stack.

The more that this has become my reality, the more I care about actually producing worthwhile errors. I'm not at all bothered that 70% of my code is error case management with some liberal sprinklings of context into those values.

At this point, I see straight through them in my code, to the point where I'm actually going to be confronted with an error, bug or emergent system case and I'm going to be exceptionally pleased that I put so much effort into actually managing these errors correctly and not just punting them up through a common and often cryptic common error handler case with most of the useful context about the detailed error environment now missing.
Most people pay more than they think they pay.

For example they think they pay 2K/mo in rent but that easily blows up to 4K after hidden costs that aren't on the sticker price of the lease.

Utilities, utilities of others that landlord charges to you because the lease said they could (and so does every other lease in a 100 mile radius), maintainence and safety issues that landlord doesn't cover, moving costs averaged over time, extra months of rent you have to pay because of stupid 12 month lease systems, tax or whatever other stupid fees charged by the rent payment systems, pest control, mold control, cleaning costs, furniture costs, ... only after all that does the place become even livable for a middle class standard.

Yeah, if you're okay with some pests and bedbug-ridden furniture you can save $200/month. If you're okay with shitty internet access that you can't even have a quality video call, you can save $50/month. etc. If you breathe mold all day, you can save $50/month. If you move all your stuff with muscles and no moving companies, you can save $200/month. But then you're not having a middle class life.
Energy stations (gas) pay pretty well. Right now Tesla owns most of the electric world and even if their cars fail could become a dominant energy provider.
I agree with you that there are too many 1s on there. I think the problem is that passively consuming content is too easy, humans just aren't really wired for it. I am certainly not immune to it. In say 1900 if you wanted to entertain yourself you could talk to people, you could listen to someone play music (live), you could play music yourself, you could write, you could tinker, etc. The most passive consumption was basically reading, which is still a rather active thing compared to scroll tik tok or watch netflix (or both). So a lot of people instead of doing the difficult thing (creating) just consume.
If you run a company and you’re running out of money and you owe any secured creditors any money, and as the last act of the company, you pay all your employees a bonus so they can buy health insurance, you’ll find that in bankruptcy this might become a preferential transfer or a fraudulent transfer which will be clawed back by the creditors with priority.
I wouldn't even say lot size is a factor as much as simply zoning rules and regulations. there aren't a lot of high cost of living areas, with the exception of maybe places like Manhattan, that actually don't have space for more housing. and even there, they have plenty of under-utilized space zoned for other things.
16 years ago, we made the first commit to what would eventually be GitHub/GitHub
I ended up with a Beelink GTR6, picked up used on eBay for $430. It's been great so far, but it's too early to vouch for it. You lose the nice IPMI/other server management features using consumer hardware, but that's part of the tradeoff.

Rack stuff can be efficient (<100W idling), especially recent model year stuff, but it gets pricey quickly. You could spec a used 1U single socket Epyc Rome or Milan for under $2,000 if you're willing to shop around, but if you don't have other rackmount equipment, I'd stay away as it's such a price (and power) premium
lol, Elon is totally that petty, isn’t he?
I am so happy to see this taking off. It’s objectively so much better than CCS or CHAdeMO.

I’ve also heard of people with mobility issues having trouble with the heavy chunky plugs on those standards but using NACS (aka Tesla) just fine.

Why do those others have such absurdly chonky plugs anyway?
One group of corporations lobbying for a brand new law to cripple another group of competing corporations, with the side effect of good PR and a theoretical benefit to consumers, is not the proper way to regulate this issue.

The primary reason for people supporting net neutrality is due to the existence of clear-cut ISP monopolies. This problem of monopolistic ISPs could be easily solved by enforcing the existing anti-trust laws that have long been on the books. Net neutrality essentially gives these monopolies a pass, so long as they make some vague promises about not throttling.

Net neutrality is the convoluted nonsense regulation that gets written by politicians who are trying to balance the various sets of competing lobbying interests.

The correct and proper solution would be to simply enforce existing anti-trust laws.
It much more negatively affects women who choose to or are compelled by societal expectations to take their husband's surname.

Busy Forks == bZ4X? That is awesome, like some bad translation of a cross-language idiom.
There's always risk/reward evaluations that are made when in these situations. A handful of stories are being tossed around of examples where business owners ran the business to the redline, and then somehow pulled a rabbit out of a hat. These stories ignore that the significant majority of businesses fail. As an point of principal, is it better to bet on being the unicorn rarely, or to be the leader that takes responsibility for their employees consistently?
Are there not beefy cloud compilers services available?

This is such a stereotypical tale: Europe mandated a universal plug for electric vehicles 10 years ago - without having any noteworthy EV manufacturers - in fact most of the big European car companies completely missed the shift to EVs.
At the same time in the US the largest EV manufacturer is slowly taking shape without the federal government taking any action at all to standardize chargers. 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.
Right now the generated script is the ground truth but we’ve been working on augmenting this with images & videos to fall back on. We think defaulting to code is good because it is faster, cheaper and more easy to reason about in the 95%+ of times it works. Plain old Selenium will get you pretty far, especially if creating scripts is much easier.
Humanity is coming along nicely.
> health insurance rarely pays for what they do, balance bill you several thousands of dollars every time you have a regular check up for an incurable health issue, and it often requires legal notices and lots of lost work hours on the phone with debt collectors, insurance, hospitals

Despite what the news will tell you, most SW engineers don't deal with this. In over a decade of working, with lots of interactions with the medical system, not one of these has manifested for me nor for my friends.

> transportation isn't cheap. a rock hit the bottom of my car last month on the highway and it cost $700 to repair. tires wore out and that costs $1000. DMV charge me $600 a year just for the hell of it. insurance costs $200/month. other costs are upwards of $200/month just to use the damn thing. and then there's parking, energy costs, fastrak costs, ...

There's a whole country out there where you don't pay most of these fees. I pay a sixth of what you do to the DMV, and half what you pay for insurance (and I have more than the bare minimum). Repairs? Yeah, sometimes I have to pay a lot. But something on the order of $700 for a single repair is one of those "once every 3-4 years" things for me, for 2 cars.
Wow. So the union negotiated for a real dollar pay cut. What a load.

I tried this way back in the late 90s with my kid. Since we did not sign the paper work granting the school to post the kiddo's information, they went on to say that would mean that their "artwork" would not be able to be displayed along with the rest of the class in public places like the post office, public library, etc. They refused to be more granular with personal data/photographs and school work. Of course back then, social media didn't exist so nobody could comprehend the desire to protect private data from becoming public.

I'm curious what it's like for parents navigating those waters in today's online world
When I first saw Boston Dynamic's Atlas I thought "I wonder when will they fit a firearm to that". I was hoping my first thought was out of my cynism or bad sense of humour...
Interesting. So it's not actually solid state. It uses piezo vibration to create airflow. It's still got moving parts. But it's much thinner than a traditional fan.

Really solid state active cooling would be something like a peltier element which are really inefficient and could cause condensation. I don't think they have been used in off the shelf PCs for those reasons though hobbyists have certainly made builds with them.
Tom Wolfe, in "Sorry, But Your Soul Just Died", Forbes Magazine, 1996
http://www.psy.vanderbilt.edu/courses/psy115w/Fall02/TomWolf...

Which brings us to the second most famous statement in all of modern philosophy: Nietzsche's "God is dead." The year was 1882. (The book was Die Frohliche Wissenschaft [ The Gay Science ].) Nietzsche said this was not a declaration of atheism, although he was in fact an atheist, but simply the news of an event. He called the death of God a "tremendous event," the greatest event of modern history. The news was that educated people no longer believed in God, as a result of the rise of rationalism and scientific thought, including Darwinism, over the preceding 250 years. But before you atheists run up your flags of triumph, he said, think of the implications. "The story I have to tell," wrote Nietzsche, "is the history of the next two centuries." He predicted (in Ecce Homo ) that the twentieth century would be a century of "wars such as have never happened on earth," wars catastrophic beyond all imagining. And why? Because human beings would no longer have a god to turn to, to absolve them of their guilt; but they would still be racked by guilt, since guilt is an impulse instilled in children when they are very young, before the age of reason. As a result, people would loathe not only one another but themselves. The blind and reassuring faith they formerly poured into their belief in God, said Nietzsche, they would now pour into a belief in barbaric nationalistic brotherhoods: "If the doctrines...of the lack of any cardinal distinction between man and animal, doctrines I consider true but deadly"--he says in an allusion to Darwinism in Untimely Meditations --"are hurled into the people for another generation...then nobody should be surprised when...brotherhoods with the aim of the robbery and exploitation of the non-brothers...will appear in the arena of the future...

Nietzsche said that mankind would limp on through the twentieth century "on the mere pittance" of the old decaying God-based moral codes. But then, in the twenty-first, would come a period more dreadful than the great wars, a time of "the total eclipse of all values" (in The Will to Power ). This would also be a frantic period of "revaluation," in which people would try to find new systems of values to replace the osteoporotic skeletons of the old. But you will fail, he warned, because you cannot believe in moral codes without simultaneously believing in a god who points at you with his fearsome forefinger and says "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not."
SwiftUI definitely has an iOS/mobile bent to it, no doubt because iOS is its flagship platform. macOS no longer has the corporate gravity that it enjoyed prior to the iPhone, when AppKit received most of its post-NeXT development.

This problem isn’t exclusive to SwiftUI though, WinUI/Windows App SDK is also mobile-flavored likely due to its UWP heritage, lacking basic desktop widgets like a tableview/datagrid.
I believe yEd can do this. Maybe try out yEd?

I've tried Redis-on-flash (enterprise version), and performance was very poor. Its just lsmt underneath and suffers from all the usual lsmt issues.

In the end we went with Aerospike which actually while backed by NVMe, outperforms redis backed by memory. Aerospike in memory is completely absurd speeds and throughput. Sadly the setup is a bit weird and query model is a bit wonky but we worked around it. A bit sad on how expensive the enterprise version is.

I actually take a benzo only as needed, and try not to take it if I can absolutely help it. I was told that taking a benzo(diazepine) the day of a Ketamine treatment actually cancels out the positive effect of the Ketamine. I believe it as well. Benzodiazepines definitely have a beneficial effect, but if you are trying to get through a psychedelic crisis, or even a horrible panic attack, taking it will 100% negate any kind of benefit you would get by pushing through the uncomfortable negativity. I'm speaking from personal experience, but I feel Benzos cancel out anything positive from learning in regards to a psychically negative experience. Sometimes your anxiety is so bad you need them, I know I have been in that place where I'm responsible for another person, and can't deal with the anxiety and still help this other person. I'm also terrified as I've heard Benzos increase the odds of getting Alzheimer's by something like >80%. I have Alzheimer's on my dad's grandmother's side, and my mom's father's side. Unless it skips a generation, and favors mother's or father's side, and the side it skips works out, I'm screwed!
There is median household income and there is median earnings of dual income households. They are two different things. You keep talking about the former, I am only interested in the latter. Median household earnings figure contains many single income households.

There is no argument from me that buying a house on one income can be difficult. But my original comment way up at the top specifically says dual income households.
