Another dubious study but something rings like common sense to me. Mentally struggling artists can go on at their craft alone and in isolation. Magicians need to be showpeople in addition to training a lot so any mental health problems would derail their careers. It’s also self selection at play as magicians need different skills than other creatives. Those skills such as being sharp, having laser focus, able at reading the audience don’t gell well with people who are struggling mentally. But I wouldn’t bet there are no magicians with mental health issues either…
Honestly, if I were a girl, and a guy was mansplaining to me why Android was better than iOS, I wouldn't want to date them either.
> This is my fear with everyone eventually plugging in their electric vehicles at 5pm

If every house had a fast charger, that would be a sensible concern. But everybody turning their dryers on simultaneously during off-peak hours isn't something worth worrying about. Especially since it's not going to just happen all at once some day.
I feel the same in the paragraph. But in some situation it seems rational

Figma still limits you from editing the component if someone is on it. And Figjam did that too. In my mind, this is a good practice in the realm of collaborative design. Because it will be very messy if a single component obeys the last-write-win rule
Nothing lol
Compounded by getting rid of natural gas for cooking and heating.

It's fine to say that electric is simpler to deliver and more efficient in theory, but our grid is not even a fraction ready for that, and heat pumps and induction ranges are a whole order of magnitude up the tech ladder from boilers and gas stoves, and by going all electric you lose the multiple sources redundancy which is literally a life saver.

I do actually welcome the cleaner future but I hate how people are pretending it's already here and making regular people deal with the discrepency.
> who cares if a webpage is rendered in 100ms or 2s?

Do you really stand by the statement of this rhetorical question? Because if yes: this attitude is a big reason for why web apps are so unpleasant to work with compared to locally running applications. Depending on the application, even 16ms vs 32ms can make a big difference.
The idea that China is hoping for some Islamist radical campaign against the USA is misplaced. China fundamentally wants order within its borders (defined as China defines them), and terrorism against any major state actor doesn't align with its goals. Its vision of a new world order is a collection of states dividing the world into spheres of influence, without individualistic activism, violent or otherwise, disrupting state power within those spheres. More likely than not, the US didn't even need to request anything of TikTok to get this censorship: it arose organically.
Probably compression
Yes, if it causes harm to people. Being a landlord is a job (so I'm told), do some math, figure out how much is fair (cost:labor calculation) then ask on the open market if people want to pay that. The problem is that the underlying system here did NOT do this calculation, hence price-gouging. It is the lack of free market that is the problem, thanks to this price centralization.
> This is a huge burden on the electrical grids, and Tesla or EV's get to hand that problem to someone else.

They don't exactly get to push it onto someone else. Large loads like this come with demand charges. In some areas, they might be $5/KW, in others I've heard of >$10. A single megacharger would be $5-10k on top of the actual energy used.

It is high enough that I'd expect them to start thinking about battery buffers at charging sites to mitigate the cost.

That already happens at a smaller scale, with things like Freewire.
> The reality is that the effort in software development isn't easily divided into these streams. The article fails to address an important consequence of putting effort into fighting fires: the project plans and roadmaps of the affected teams will be disrupted. This is where the term "unplanned" really fails, because if the organization never takes into account the effort taken to address issues and emergencies, the plans are worse than having no plan at all.

The article likely glosses over these particular details because it's a sales pitch for an app that offers a, seemingly, smooth flow to get "unplanned" work into the "plan." The "plan" just being the ticketing system where work-to-be-performed is assigned, not the roadmap.

You're not wrong that "unplanned work", of any form, can disrupt your timelines. And that why the features they are describing, that are separate from the assigned work, are important. They require someone to explicitly acknowledge and accept the costs of that work before adding it to the "plan."

That said, your roadmap, like it's analogous counterpart, generally won't be that specific. It's just there to layout the direction and highlight important landmarks. You don't use the roadmap to draw every gas stop or who is driving each stretch of road on the road map because it's hard to anticipate those details and expensive to update when things go awry. And even if you try, sometimes you just want to take a detour and see the Largest Ball of Yarn because you need to stretch your legs and it's only a few miles out of the way. Your roadmap shouldn't care about any of that, it's just there to help you get back on track when you're done.

But once you get to the car, you make a plan. You decide who is going to drive first and how far you expect to go. And you can change that plan when the fuel tank doesn't get you as far as you thought, or a poor night's sleep catches up with you sooner than expected, or there's a rock shop on the side of the road, because you can ask the other people in the car whether its worth arriving a little later to look at some cool rocks.
FTA: "It’s fine if people want to call it a “glorified golf cart”, though I’m not sure I’ve seen a golf cart that can tow a boat, haul furniture, dump mulch, and that comes with creature comforts like air-conditioning, infotainment screen, power windows and locks, and a frunk."

> Seems like the answer is just to allow more construction and densification

The system very often doesn't actually support that in fact, so I don't find it a particularly compelling argument.

Sometimes systems suck from the get go, sometimes they degrade over time. Some of us are getting tired of the heads I win tails you lose "democracy" magic show, and the runtime we are in supports recourse outside of the "agreed upon" (wink wink) legal conventions, and I suspect it is more of a coordination problem than a consensus or will problem.
Yea, i've read it but the point still stands. And there's all sorts of tricked out golf carts available with most of those features. Being able to bounce around your own property is cool, and there's many types of small vehicles for that, but they're not something you compare to a road worthy vehicle.
It's a prototype at the edge of what state of the art battery technology allows.

Kudos to Tesla for having the guts and endurance to try. This is relevant for Tesla and for the industry.
Note that the vast majority of magicians are to magic what cover bands are to music. Only artists in that they are performing in front of an audience, not creators in any meaningful way.
(Source: I am a consulting mentalist, I am the kind of people mentalists, a very similar profession, offsource the creation to...)
My guess is that may be working more like a simple "maestro" telling your brain orchestra and heart drummer to reduce the speed from Heavy metal to Ballad and that somehow makes easy to focus in what's in front of you?

I make no claims here, I did it for me and looks like it works, not scientifically based or proven, not even tested on more than 1. So, no idea if can or will work for you ; )

That said, I'm now curious with so many comments to see how it will perform for those building versions to test. Its a 20min project, free for those already with prototyping board around.

The key for me was to remove to my marginal angle of vision, not on the screen (like an app), the moment I moved outside and wasn't in front of it it work best. If you see it directly it does distract you indeed.
Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
The first time I saw a cyber truck on the road in Austin I literally laughed out loud. It was that startling. I’m sure that will fade, but it’s a very comical first impression.
Tesla just makes the biggest headlines. Freightliner had an electric class 8 truck in production before the Tesla. And they're not the only other company doing it. I trust Freightliner to make a big truck a lot more than I'd trust Tesla.
You bring a small constellation of points to mind; sorry for the multi-part reply:

1.

The original question was about the natural world, not math, and I'd say that the connection between the two is not guaranteed by anything. So any conclusion in math does not dictate reality. We simply have no "givens" in reality to work from. Though certainly mathematical models are useful.

2.

Going back to your Noether example: are you saying that conservation laws are caused by symmetries?

If the theorem says "X => Y", then does that mean Y is "caused by" X?

I don't think so. It just means that if you observe X, you can be sure Y is there too.

Suppose later we find out additional information: Y => X

Now, we have "X <=> Y", and certainly it would be unfair to say one of these "causes" the other, no?

That would fall in your "uncaused" category, I believe.

3.

The scientific method does not prove things to be true, ever.
It only disproves wrong theories, by providing counterexamples.

So, if you have a theory about "why" something is a certain way, you will never fully confirm it with the scientific method. You will only discover when one of your proposals was wrong, never that it was right.

It may be the case that a lot of people try very hard to prove it wrong, and fail. And it may be the case that it is useful at predicting the future and other novelties. But it could still be wrong, and you would never know — maybe the counterexample will be found tomorrow.

I really do think the bedrock answer to "why do apples fall from trees" is "we don't know." There's just a lot of interesting stuff to be discovered in the (failed) attempt at answering it, in the meantime.
Not a matter of refactoring. AI should ideally regenerate the code from the spec each time the requirements change. "Programming" won't go away, but it will refer to working with specification languages, not implementation languages.

In the best of all possible worlds, you'd have to deal with the C++ or JavaScript code about as often you have to dig into the x86 or ARM assembly code now.
Note that since about 2021 renewables have overtaken fossil-based sources of energy on price. New installations of utility scale wind and solar PV are now cheaper than their alternatives. Not to mention protection from price fluctuations in the cost of fuels needed to power fossil fuel plants.
Not really. They send those emails only to people who donated before.
Small Modular Reactors should make regulation a lot easier vs bespoke behemoth power plants.

Unfortunately they still seem to be all promise and no deliveries.
That’s about the worst possible way to build a physical product, especially a heavy duty industrial product like a semi truck.

If that’s honestly their design philosophy I have serious doubts about their ability to contend with any serious competition beyond what they’ve gained so far from being a first mover in the less rigorous world of end consumer cars.
Back in the day everybody watched the same TV programs, there used to be the "simultaneous flush at break time" problem (real or imagined), e.g. https://medium.com/nycwater/the-big-flush-on-super-bowl-sund...
>Center seating, which looks cool in the Tesla Semi launch video, is actually not practical and not well liked by PepsiCo’s drivers.

My work involves direct interaction with truck drivers on a near daily basis and I have been saying this since Tesla debuted the interior design. I am completely unsurprised to hear this

The amount of hubris Tesla has when it comes to so many things like this is mind-blowing.
A magician gets to stop being Xmo the Magnificent at the end of the show and be a normal person the rest of the time.

An artist has no such separation between themselves as normal people and themselves as the artist. So if time as an artist isn't going well, it's pretty rough bearing it as a normal person.
I don't know about merits of this case but some of the controlling interstate commerce interpretations are quite broad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn Even growing your own wheat affects interstate commerce: your alternative to growing it yourself is buying it on the open market. This is an activity which, in aggregate across thousands of farmers, would affect interstate commerce.
Maybe they’re just better at concealing it?
> that can tow a boat

LOL, most golf carts could tow that tiny little boat.
We wouldn't because the issue always was iphone users never willing to use an app outside of imessage. What good is a messaging platform if more than 1/2 your network won't use it?
No, you’re making assertions I didn’t claim. You have to demonstrate that a theft occurred. A theft, by definition, requires a claim of ownership. An owner. Without a claim of ownership, there is no crime because you can trivially argue it was a gift or abandoned property.
"We" (the west) need to go below net zero as it's clear that most of the world isn't concerned with curbing carbon emissions(quite the opposite, it seems).

Note that "need" here is in the context of meeting the climate goals we've chosen to impose on ourselves. I'm not going to debate the wisdom of that choice here.
> Sure the settlements suck, hut that's not the state of Israel's doing.

When illegal settlements start being built, and complaints are raised/filed against it, I imagine that it takes quite some time for the settlement building projects to finish. I also imagine that there are laborers and companies involved who execute the building project over a certain period of time.
- During that whole time from the start of the settlement being built, to its completion, the state of Israel simply does not notice it happening (despite filed complaints) and is unable to do anything about it?
- Israel cannot arrest those people and suspend the license of the company building the illegal settlement that is complicit in the illegal action?
- Israel cannot put repeat offenders in prison for a very long time?
- Even if a settlement is somehow built without the knowledge of the Israeli government (impossible for a building poject), Israel cannot simply demolish it and heavily fine everyone involved?

You don't sneak a building project behind the government's back, especially when it's built on land that belongs to other people who will surely report it. Either Israeli government is absolutely incapable of doing basic government things, or there is no political will to stop such illegal settlements from being built and the Israeli government does not actually mind them, even though it publicly says that it does.

So yes, the settlements are absolutely the doing of the state of Israel if it is doing nothing to prevent them from being built.
> However, the fact that this hand labeling is possible indicates in itself that the issue isn't a pure privacy violation.

They can use it on profiles where that wouldn't've been possible before, and which do not have the obvious tells like "By the way, I live in Melbourne, Australia". Once an 'easy' profile has been labeled, then the model will be trained to learn all the features in that profile which correlate with living in Melbourne, including the ones no human had ever noticed before, and which will be present in other Melbourne profiles. (You could, and should, also remove the obvious tells from the training data after you have constructed the label, to force it to discover subtler features beyond the ones your human labelers used.)

This lets you bootstrap your classifier to extract information no human could have before. That would seem to be a 'pure privacy violation' by your definition.

Any story like this always summons up people eager to cry 'But where I am is an exception'.

They rarely say where they actually are.

The thing that most countries - a convenient non-geo construct only because most countries have a national grid - who claim to be exceptional have in common, is a firm commitment to the idea that they are exceptional. I am reminded of that onion headline that ends 'says only nation where this regularly happens'.

I concede that it's possible you happen to live somewhere that is out of reach of a grid that in turn has potential feeds from hydro (pumped or otherwise), solar pvc, solar thermal, geothermal, tidal, wind, and so on.

But I doubt that's likely to be the case.

(That you mention California makes me assume you're somewhere in the USA.)
> The market is already fairly efficient

Please translate "fairly efficient" into percentage terms. Also, what instrument are you using to perform your measurements?
But the current manufacturing of EVs and batteries isn’t carbon neutral or net zero until well into a vehicle’s lifecycle.

It’s still worth doing but we should understand the true cost.
(I've been told team meetups, even once a year, are not possible)

This is bizarre, even open source projects do brainstorming retreats and get-togethers.

BTW folks, when you see a worthwhile Ask HN, don't forget to upvote as well as comment, otherwise it's likely to die before many people see it due to appearing to HN's algorithms as flamebait.
Noopept is a potential candidate for another replacement. It’s basically has a similar safety profile but it’s more potent and requires much less to achieve the desired effect.
The author clearly has an angle here. Tesla's obviously in some kind of beta mode. They've even said (in the Leno episode) they're going to rev the thing before going into full production. Plus battery degradation is well understood. Plus it's known there are multiple range editions of the Semi, they aren't all the 500mi version. Also obviously the taxpayers aren't paying for this vehicle program somehow. Wait a year and see how it's going. We have to electrify all transport, so someone's got to work on it.
> Blue bubbles can message me in those areas; green cannot.

They can, but one or both parties is refusing to use any of the numerous alternative messaging options like WhatsApp.
I love that the Semi is just about as reliable as my Model X, which has been in for service 10 times, and even just this morning I got in to discover it completely dead with black screens.

I can't wait to get rid of the damn thing.
Except Musk was all out saying how it was production ready six years ago.

There they go, saying Whatsapp is using their tech without proof they haven't tampered with it. Doing propaganda for proprietary shovelware.
Did you know that tidal energy is actually not renewable? Harvesting tidal energy slightly slows the rotation of the planet over time. Here's a quote from the relevant paper by Liu:

> Based on the average pace of world energy consumption over the last 50 years, if we were to extract the rotational energy just to supply 1% of the world's energy consumption, the rotation of the Earth would lock to the Moon in about 1000 years.
Routers, airplanes, satellites, nuclear power stations, lots of good stuff
Priuses manage to get 50 mpg highway without depleting charge or plugging in but I guess the same optimizations can't work on a big diesel as on a little gas engine?
I don't think your average Rivian or E150 customer is in the same group as someone interested in buying a Cybertruck. Some people want practical trucks. Some people want Cybertrucks(for various reasons). I'm not saying the Cybertruck will do well, but if it doesn't, I doubt you can blame Rivians and E150s.
Ideally, yes - but the US is lacking in rail infrastructure, so the US *needs* zero-emission, road-based, logistics solutions.

(Disclaimer: Non-expert, but Tesla owner since Q1 2018) I think EV trucks, as a concept is fine, but battery-swapping makes much more sense than using a nonremovable battery-pack that's 5-10x the size of a sedan-sized battery-pack.
Didn’t Germany just put its nuclear power plants on standby instead of shutting them down last year

It's a side effect of decent regen braking. Your petrol car brakes can dissipate many times more power than its engine can put out.
That’s the quote. Which doesn’t say anything about being physically addictive. Guess you’re spreading disinformation.
>Nice try but the West has moved on to Enlightenment and Liberal values and has integrated freedom of religion inside of it.

Nice try, tell me that when anyone but a conservative Christian can be elected President, libraries aren't being shut down for having "woke" material, and states aren't hunting down women for getting abortions, mandating school prayers or outlawing homosexuality.

And I'm not talking about "the West" here, I'm talking about the US. Other Western countries take Enlightenment and Liberal values seriously enough to actually provide for the common welfare of their citizens. The US constantly struggles against the chains the Constitution puts on it because it wants nothing more than to be a Christian theocracy, and for every step forward it takes, it seems to stumble back two.

> Maybe Islam should do the same, or at least not see the people who do this as sub-human infidels that deserve death

Maybe the CIA should stop interfering with secular Muslim societies and installing radical dictators, or letting the Saudis get away with anything they want. Remember, the only reason the West was able to stumble out of the dark ages and into the Enlightenment was Islamic scholarship.

>Alternatively as you suggest we could return the favor and revive the crusades.

We already are. George Bush literally declared that after 9/11. American politicians have already framed Israel's actions as a "religious war."

What I suggest is America get off its high horse, stop supporting evil in the name of its deranged apocalyptic view of Christianity and leave the world alone. Or else, at least, be consistent enough in its ideals to be willing to oppose something as evil as genocide regardless of who commits it.
