> It's supposed to be for the benefit of the workers in question, and to be honest I don't think anyone's even covering them?

The Nordics are a high-value EV market. It could be worth demonstrating resolve so the next group that hires these workers plays by the rules the local economy has evolved.

The Swedish unions, for their part, see this fight as exisetnial to their economic model [1]. With which I agree. If they bend for Tesla, they'll have to for Amazon.

You have a very unique definition of "truck". Sure, totally understand it may not fit your needs given where you need to drive it and what you do with it, but I'd posit that none of your constraints require redefinition of a commonly understood English word.
it doesn't meet the requirements to function as a truck for me.

obviously it can meet a wikipedia definition, that doesn't really matter too much to me though.

There wasn’t anything useful in these books I didn’t already know from an extensive binge into CS theory and practice. There was no new insights either.

There was a lot of useless knowledge that wasted time to cover, like how to optimize for his totally made up machine language.
Oh my, that prompted me to read Wikipedia - and we have MUMPS also from VMS. A quite different programming paradigm. The last common ancestor with current mainstream programming is really far back and it looks very odd.

It's not the average distance you drive, it's the maximum distance you drive. Most people are not going to select an EV as their primary vehicle until they can make that infrequent but important road trip without charge anxiety.
Your expectations about bed size might be off. You also can't load a bike lengthwise in a 4-door F-150 or a 4-door Ram 1500, both of which have 5.5 foot beds. I personally think it's kind of silly for a truck, but that's what the market is apparently asking for.
It's essentially the same as a relaxed atomic at the machine level, but it's weaker - it corresponds to "unordered" in the LLVM sense. In particular, it allows for a lot more optimization - operations can be reordered with respect to each other as long as the compiler is aware that they refer to disjoint memory locations.
In the case of science and math words are more than just jargon, they have precise meaning. Often jargon contains ambiguity but you can infer a general meaning. With the language of math and science you actually need to read the precise definition of a term to understand its meaning.
I am not sure how far the original Tesla design was in when Musk acquired the company, but my impression is that Cybertruck is HIS baby, and it shows.

First of all, it looks like it was drawn by a 10-year-old. It just looks ugly. I won't rule out that Musk himself decided to "create".

Let's see: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/tesla-cybertruck-elon-mus...

“A majority of people in this studio hated it,” said chief designer Franz von Holzhausen. “They were like, ‘You can’t be serious.’ They didn’t want to have anything to do with it. It was just too weird.”

After seeing a full-size mock-up of the futuristic pick-up truck, some designers began secretly designing an alternative version.

A spokesperson for Tesla did not respond to a request for comment."

Oh yeah...

And, as we can see with other ventures, if Elon shows active interest in something and starts micromanaging a project - it's as good as a death sentence. His influence should not spread beyond generating crazy ideas and then abusing people until they do the impossible.

It's not the work itself that is bad but the conditions of it. I loved cooking, I much prefer it to computer work. But allowances for health and family have to be carved out case-by-case depending on your relationship to your bosses.

This isn't necessary and we could change it. But we haven't, and so these jobs suck for reasons that have nothing to do with the work being done.
Why is this comment downvoted? Outside of internet forums which tend to be very free speech, parental controls would be incredibly popular, and companies that don't have tight content controls receive a lot of scrutiny. As the article notes, Facebook is already being criticized for not tightly enforcing minimum ages, and there was a popular article out just yesterday[0] about Instagram just showing things that are vaguely "risque".

If you ask someone on the street if Google and Facebook should have parental controls the answer would be unequivocally yes. This is the normie position the vast majority of the time. Are we able to engage with normie positions? Is it not genuinely concerning if we're unable to?

Yes it supports up to 4 serial interfaces given the ports available on the Pi. You can use small USB-to-RS232 converters, and/or use the built-in USB-to-serial plus additional USB-to-serial converters and solder two MAX232 chips on the board.

Volts podcast has a terrific interview with Fervo CEO Tim Latimer (and co-author of that paper you linked).

Both audio and transcript:

"Enhanced geothermal power is finally a reality" [2023-07-21]
https://www.volts.wtf/p/enhanced-geothermal-power-is-finally

My key takeaways:

Advanced geothermal energy (AGE) completes the puzzle. Wind, solar, others hit 80% of our needs. AGE fulfills the final 20%.

Additionally, by serving as heat reservior, AGE will maximize solar and wind. Instead of curtailing, Fervo will store their excess output as heat in the ground.

Can be located anywhere there's accessible heat. Even urban areas. Surface level operation is just a well head and a modest building.

Scales "horizontally". Meaning just drill more wells. Versus larger or more complex wells. This means Fervo has jumped onto the cost-learning curve (Wright's Law) by doing the same thing repeatedly. Instead of every project being bespoke.

All that R&D investment in the much hated fracking industry unlocked this achievement.

For a sensitive issue like child protection, Google and Meta are going to get attacked no matter what they do. Too much protection and they are harming LBGT youth, too little protection and they are putting children at risk.

From the tech companies' point of view, it makes sense for there to be regulations here. Then they can just follow the regulations, and if people are unhappy, then the regulation should be changed through the democratic process. It's not really "anticompetitive" because this stuff just isn't a big deal to the business side of the companies. It's a big deal because of the impact on children, not financially.

Even then I’d say that courts being able to discipline workers for unionizing and blocking work against a huge company would be going against the intent of workers rights.

This isn’t workers saying we’re not going to deliver mail to, let’s say, Muslims. It’s saying that we’re not going to deliver mail for a company actively refusing to work within our labor market with our customs. This is entirely their right. A court that would rule otherwise is not a legitimate court in the eyes of the workers and people.
To me this is the age old short term enjoyment vs long term security argument. Most people don't care.
> were the same conditions ripe in America, we'd see registration delays and special fees, safety investigations and public hearings.

I don't think we would. America is a big country, and certainly governments can be obstructionist, particularly state and local governments. But that tends to be through permitting and courts, which makes it more predictable and easier to appeal. USPS doing something like this is inconceivable - reliable delivery of government services is very high priority.

Have you read Euclid's Elements? Did you enjoy the proofs? And the general process? The conclusions in the Elements are what any 10th grade geometry student should already know. It's not the conclusions though, but the journey. Some people still swear by Euclid, claiming the Elements helps teach a person how to think.

TAOCP is in that vein. As you have identified, it is not a programming book, and it's not a computer engineering book, and it's not really a college textbook either. It is a computer science book in the old tradition, where computer science is treated as a branch of mathematics.

It won't teach you to program. As another user said, you should probably be using the algorithm your language's standard library provides. Now, if you want to know why a library's author chose a particular algorithm, the trade-offs between the options, and an open-ended and in-depth exploration of such topics, then this is the book for you. The author of that optimized tree search function you're using probably read TAOCP at some point, so you don't have to.

Nuclear fission could do direct power output, we just have criminally crippled the industry which resulted in serious underfunding and thus lack of research for the past 70 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

Solar by itself can’t replace power generation needs no matter how cheap panels get without batteries. They can only offset some demand (same for wind). And we just don’t have the capacity to do grid scale batteries - we barely have enough for electric cars and we’re ramping that up as fast as we can.

The best time to have built a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. There just simply isn’t an alternative right now to drastically increasing fission capacity. China is doing it too. We have no excuse in the West aside from protecting oil interests.

The expense and time to build are not intractable issues - we just don’t do it enough to have economies of scale at play. Same goes for waste - without a double sided market nuclear is more expensive than it needs to be and legislation is blocking the second side of the market for spent fuel, which unlike fossil fuel emissions isn’t waste and can be reused for lots of applications instead of being buried in the ground (+ can be reused in breeder reactors)
> a crazy PE ratio of 73

Their PE ratio was over 100 before the earnings announcement last week, so it has fallen. 18.12B revenue, 9.24B net this last quarter - 6.05B revenue, 1.41B net three quarters ago.

With growth in revenue and net this quick, the 12 month trailing P/E ratio will be high.

Of all the leaks I've had these past 10 years, only two have been appliances, and one was high pressure (water heater). The other as negligible. Both of those didn't need sensors.... they were obvious, and quickly.

The leaks that haunt me though... several under the house in the crawl space. Copper pipe pinholes, caused I don't know how much damage (including several ruined water heater elements, maybe even causing the water heater to fail prematurely). Ruined floors. Until they got bad enough that we had no hot water (which was about the time the floor started warping), there doesn't seem to be anyway that we might have noticed. The water bill wasn't unusually high, or maybe it just frog-boiled its way up where we couldn't. There were several more copper pinholes, but they were noticed as muddy places in the crawlspace while fixing the first, or just spidey-sensed. I am also very nearly too fat to crawl under the house, let alone do emergency plumbing while there.

Another incident involved a squirrel. The idiot owners of this house (before us, not the current idiot owners) decided that the easiest place to put new plumbing was in the ceiling (maybe they were too fat too?). Our attic had a new uninvited guest, and apparently PEX piping is very tasty. Or appears that way, the squirrel lost his appetite after biting enough of a hole that there was a leak from above. This leak though, despite the location which should have made it almost instantly obvious, happens almost within 5 minutes of a torrential downpour that lasted better than an hour. That, plus my unwillingness to believe the previous owners had routed plumbing above everyone's heads, meant we didn't get that taken care of quite as quickly as we might have.

My lessons from this, I think, are:

1. We might have caught the crawlspace leaks quickly if there were a humidity sensor (is that how the leak sensors work?) down there, and we could have compared to baseline. That is, if spraying water didn't just fry them immediately.

2. The ceiling leak probably couldn't have been detected very early, given the coincidence with the rain and how it would have raised humidity. Possibly if we had a water pressure sensor, that would have picked it up as a drop, despite there being no faucets running.

Plumbing sucks. Houses build 50 years ago assumed that it could never fail often enough to make it easily accessible. My next house will take into consideration squirrel mitigation concerns.
So as the word “race” is applied in the US, race is not very correlated with genetic ancestry.
> You would have no ability to carry on your normal life or business.

This is indeed the point of a strike, yes. Which is allowed (under certain conditions) by Swedish law, particularly when it comes to labor conflicts. If Tesla wants to conduct business in Sweden, it'll have to cooperate with Swedish laborers. Those have more power than in the USA, but Tesla can always go elsewhere if it really cannot stomach paying its workers equivalent wages as other companies in Sweden.

“Of course, as we keep pointing out, for many kids, parents are the problem. How would this kind of system work when there is an LGBTQ child searching for information or communities where they can express themselves or learn, and they have parents who are not open minded about such things?”

This was about the dumbest argument that could have been said for why this should be opposed because it ties opposition tightly into a still-controversial political perspective.

Also, I respond with: There are school resources, public libraries, they interact with people every day who will probably happily give them information. Their friends in school would give them information. The internet isn’t the beginning and end of access to information. The alternative is letting data miners and worse run amok - and I think that’s a greater evil.

And, in addition to all of the above, who is to say that the resources they find online are safe? How do you know the first link they open won’t be from someone who wants to prey on them? If you care about LGBTQ youth, you’d probably prefer they use school resources first…

You're exactly right. The Cybertruck an enormous misstep for the company. And the amazing thing is Tesla figured out with the Model S that if you make a nice sedan that happens to be electric—people will buy it. There were a lot of people with disposable income that want to help the environment, but wanted to drive something nicer and less weird looking than a Prius.

They should have taken the same approach with their pickup. People expect trucks to be able to haul, tow and have a certain amount of bed space. If they were serious about building a pickup, they'd build something like the Lightning—a truck that could do all of that, but happens to be electric. Heck, if they did that Rivian might not be in business.

The Cybertruck is a novelty item and nobody who wants or needs the utility of a truck is going to consider it over a Rivian or F-150 Lightning.

Seems like it's a universal law of media companies: They constantly and seemingly deliberately won't allow any distribution channel to get good enough to beat "piracy".

As soon as something comes along that has the potential of being a one-stop shop, they fuck everything up by splintering into many services you have to pay for individually.

As soon as something comes along that offers a huge catalog, they fuck everything up by fighting among themselves over IP rights and exclusivity and randomly removing random shows from random seasons.

As soon as something comes along that is cheap enough to make the risk of piracy not worth it, they fuck everything up by jacking up the price.

As soon as something comes along that delivers piracy-like video quality over streaming, they fuck it up by over-compressing it and otherwise nerfing the video quality.

It's like these media executives are meeting every year to ensure that their products are all just shitty enough to keep piracy alive.

Another metric to think about if you care about rhythm. In a 4/4 beat at 120 BPM with 50% swing (i.e. straight 16th notes with no swing), sixteenth notes are 125ms apart.

Each percent of swing is 2.5ms. So if you increase to 51% swing, it's 127.5ms and 122.5ms between successive pairs of 26th notes. 55% swing (which is very distinct from 50% to my ears) is 137.5ms and 112.5ms.
