You seem to be getting downvoted, but I agree with you to a large extent. He does say a ton of stuff I disagree with, sometimes strongly, but I also know if most other CEOs were as public and unfiltered they'd probably fair even worse in aligning with my positions on many issues.

When I'm thinking where to spend my money, I do appreciate that Tesla (and SpaceX) push the boundaries in high-tech industries, and that much of the R&D and manufacturing spend goes to employees in my home country.
Gee, I wonder what has happened since, say, 2008, that has caused pedestrians to lose any trace of situational awareness and wander in front of moving cars. It's almost as if they're distracted by something that became a factor relatively recently, around the same time that drivers also became much more distracted than usual. Someone should look into that.
also awesome name by the way. That's a man that knows what a vehicle can do.
It’ll be a peak demand, not peak supply problem.
Thanks for the reference. I think at this point I kind of want to just build my own UI to playback GP files. I looked into the guts of TuxGuitar and was pretty put off by how much code there is. It's kind of a hot mess. Really I want to use it to riff more in a jamming mode, more than a sit-down seriously study a piece of music. It needs to be useable from a standing/jamming position and have simplified controls like stop, start, tempo up, down, flip these tracks on and off, repeat this riff or section (but without a hard stop, just loop around, staying in time). TuxGuitar is clearly designed for people to make tabs, and not so much for playing along.
I remember it being named "The National Anthem".
Yeah definitely, research is much more than having a couple interesting observations. I didn't have the insight to dig deeper.

the problem with EV in Japan is that electricity is quite expensive (30~40 Yen/kwh) to the typical salaryman who earns around 300,000 Yen a month pretax/pension. It could be an easy 5 - 10% of their allocatable income.

To make it worse, the capacity of Japanese power grid isn’t very well. Although people are adapting EV cars and e-bikes in Japan, the price parity per charge isn’t that much comparing to gas.

I think what made it popular today is that gas price is skyrocketing (140->180/L within a year), so people started seeking alternatives.

HN seems immune to VC pressures specifically because it's owned by a VC.

Single core process, single server, single moderator. No react, no chasing growth. It's actually right-sized or even undersized because it's intentionally a loss leader.
While I agree that there is a lot to frontend development, that list is ridiculous. It is useful as far as knowing what categories of things you may come across at some point. But as far as things you need to know? This is significantly overstating it.
GameFAQs, Nintendo Power, and all the websites about Missingno thoroughly mapped out the entire game when I played as a kid.

The only real issue was all the fake ways to get Mew and the awful greedy Nintendo marketing department that removed Mew from the American game so that you could only get him from sanctioned events. What made it even worse was that they would look through your Dex before giving you one and if they saw you had used a GameShark or a MissingNo hack they would deny you the transfer.

Personally I found Diamond to be the magical experience. Everything I hated about the game I loved had been fixed. It was in color, there were no stupid cables needed that nobody had, and you could easily trade and fight over the internet. I was also old enough to know that a game can be more fun without looking at the guides.
We welcome any and all creative attempts to convince the public to use evs, which are massively piling up on dealer lots.
Tesla is using LFP batteries in many of their cheaper, lower range vehicles. Just not in the US market since the batteries are sourced from China, and that reduces their EV tax credit.
I've done both vanilla postfix, dovecot, rspamd, etc and mailcow.

For me the reason I use mailcow is it's a few commands and I have a fully functional mail, calendar, and contacts server with a web UI. It can then be updated with a single update.sh.

Using mailcow I don't need to mess around with virtual domains, connecting it to mysql, DKIM, etc which is far more than a few commands.

I also get a nice admin UI, web mail and CalDAV and CardDAV which you don't get with the above.

Also I'd consider the separate containers a good thing so that if rspamd, or clamav, for example, has a CVE they can't pivot to other parts of your mailserver.

Memory bandwidth is becoming the ultimate spec. In related news, Apple reduced memory bandwidth in their M3 chips by 25% compared to M1/M2: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/31/apple-m3-pro-less-memor...
This is generally a bad idea because it requires code modification, which has security implications. Most implementations will bring in multiple implementations and select the right one at startup (amortizing the indirect call into something like the GOT which already exists).
From what I've seen, it looks pretty low to the ground, which would make it safer than a lifted truck.
I wasn't referring to the speed, I meant the quality/validity/value of the tokens.
Cars look the same in part because of safety regulations make those designs more attractive to manufacturers.
> By definition (an LLM as a “compressor”) this shouldn’t happen.

A couple problems with this.

1) That's not the definition of an LLM, it's just a useful way to think about it.

2) That is exactly what I'd expect a compressor to do. That's the exact job of lossless compression.

Of course the metaphor is lossy compression, not lossless. But it's not that surprising if lossy compression reproduces some piece of what it compressed. A jpeg doesn't get every pixel or every local group of pixels wrong.

Is ranking by brand necessarily the most useful ranking?

How does the Toyota Prius (with 19 potential trouble areas, per the article) compare with a non-hybrid (say a Mazda 3)?

The first graph indicates that Toyotas are, on the whole, more reliable than Mazdas, and the second graph indicates that hybrid drivetrains (despite having more trouble points) are marginally more reliable than purely gas powered vehicles.

Taken together, this suggests that a recent Prius would be more reliable than a recent Mazda 3, but it would be nice to have a model-wise reliability score, no?
Given the relative simplicity of the drive train for EVs, it's a shame that the dedicated electric manufacturers like Rivian and Tesla aren't much higher on this list...

Your thinking here seems to be a bit confused. You said, "the data comes from .. consumer reports. Not actual data, but surveys of people's thoughts."

But that is incorrect. It's not a survey of people's "thoughts." Survey participants:

"are asked to identify problems that they considered serious (because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime). We ask them to include problems covered by warranty, but not the ones resulting from accident damage or due solely to recall. Respondents check off problems from a list of trouble areas, ranging from the engine and transmission to climate system, brakes, electrical system, and electrical accessories..."[0]

Can you explain how this is "not actual data"? If it isn't, what would you expect instead -- that Consumer Reports buy a statistically significant number of all cars by all manufacturers every year and drive every single one thousands of miles and then calculate the reliability of each one?

Calling a rescue worker a pedophile

Turning his sexual harassment allegations into a cultural red vs blue issue by front-running a story about said sexual harassment allegations

Totally unnecessarily inhumane behavior toward employees during the Twitter acquisition

He just seems increasingly like a truly awful person by almost any definition of “awful person” except the one “has a lot of money.” Character really, really matters, and culturally important people exhibiting horrible character should be aggressively laughed at and disparaged. A less public, equally atrocious, equally wealthy person actually does have less of a negative impact on the rest of us by mere virtue of being less public. Elon could’ve been awful in private and frankly I wouldn’t have cared all that much. But as it is now, generations of people — young leaders — are learning that you can be as awful as you want so long as you’re powerful. What does that foreshadow for our culture, if unchecked?
If by, by-and-large, you mean a minority of vocal people in a coastal elite bubble, sure, they don’t like what they see. That sounds great to me.

c++'s growth was large projects building largescale apps on MSWindows (Microsoft Office et al), and that started just before "the internet/web".

unix grew in somewhat coincidentally the same timeframe, and the timeframe that the internet did because tcp/ip/servers/linux/everything's a stream; client-server was "the thing" and that gave http a place to stand.

unix and C are inextricably bound, and that gives C++ some free apron strings to tug, but C++ has never really associated itself with *nix per se. (MS window handles providing a cute place to put a link to the C++ class really cemented it as a "natural" way to interface to C++ OOP for handling UI events)
What makes jobs "tricky" is that jobs are--by definition--entirely side-effects.

So:
- What happens if the process where you called the job crashes?
- What happens if the entire application crashes?
- What happens if two threads/processes schedule the same job?
- Should jobs be stored in memory? On disk? In a db?

Are all sort of interesting questions. Presumably the Deno runtime deals with this in a way that's opaque to the user, but that using "a library" does not, especially in a language like Javascript where processes/jobs are not really first-class.
Because I know exactly what the CLI commands do, the work anywhere on anybody’s machine, and I don’t know what a GUI is actually going to execute

In Europe it has always been known as Dacia Duster.
Dacia in Europe is the "low cost brand" of Renault and to keep cost low they reuse components and parts already developed for previous Nissan and Renault models.
Other manufacturers do the same or share components, for example
the 1500cc Renault diesel engine used in the previous generation of Dacia Duster was also the same used in the Mercedes Class A.
There is a Cambridge University legend of one of the Dons who no-one could catch in conversation on any subject where the Don did not have a robust and detailed understanding- they tried physics and geography, national and local physics. Till one day a post-grad studied up on Norweigian First Division football, and buttonholed the man at lunch and asked about the prospects for Ham-Kam in the upcoming match.

And the Don leaned over to get his sandwich and without looking back said "Well I would have said it's an easy win but with Bondevik being injured in the last game I think their defence is lacking ..."

I know I should go and spend a few days learning what the relationship between cones in my eyes and intensity of photons is and how it affects color perception.

But I just don't know how some people find the time to learn the Norwegian football leagues - not because it might come in handy, not because i'm not smart enough, but I just don't know how to arrange the worlds information so it can arrive in my perception so I can learn it.

In short it's not about smart, it's not about hard work, it's about which hard work and how to keep learning more.

I am just not sure how many years left there are to give to whimesy
The X this book complains about would have mostly been the code/protocol overseen by the open group.

That issue can be dealt with using an IOMMU under host control. Those limit where the peripheral can DMA regardless of its firmware.
For me:

- front-end: either Vue or server rendered html from templates
- back-end: Kotlin/Java, Go, (if I'm adventurous Phoenix/Elixir or F#)
framework: something lightweight like Javalin + JDBI (or homegrown)
- db: MySQL (because I can multi-writer, backup/restore from *my* memory) or a cloud service offering
What I see is yet another way that the backend JS world is finally achieving something .NET had over 10 years ago[0].

Node/Deno/Bun/etc. + npm sounds super straightforward (and it is at first). But I've thought for years that it's far easier to be productive on the backend on .NET in Visual Studio, since it's simpler to design, deliver, and maintain infrastructure.

> I traded a Toyota full size pickup truck in for my first Tesla, a Model S, because Tesla needed to move units to survive. I'm looking forward to closing the loop, trading that Model S (with almost 110k miles on it after driving cross country in six years) in for my Cybertruck. It's ugly, I love it, I don't care what it costs.

I don't need a fancy EV. I want an EV I can beat the shit out of (steel body, no paint issues to contend with), tow with, and has native access to the Supercharger network (I live out of a duffel bag with a starlink dish and am constantly mobile across the continental US). I also don't want to support legacy auto, who had to be dragged to the EV transition by Tesla. Mission accomplished. That is worthy of my dollars. How others spend theirs is up to them.
My tip would be: just don't care.

I once was hired as a type of consultant for an internal matter. The company had a lot of in-house developed software from various internal departments situated in different countries.

A whole bunch of representatives traveled to a single location focusing on one such important application. We had 10 local versions of it. Plan is to get rid of all of them and align on what should go into a single new one that was to be built.

The sessions were a total disaster. A tragedy of the commons situation where each representative did not cooperate or align, instead they all tried to "win" each and every little detail. Frustration grew, there was shouting, petty revenge behavior, toddler-like silence (I refuse to further speak), people simply leaving, and even people crying from stress.

In the debrief with the session leader, she was still traumatized. She watched me dutifully make notes and then asked: how do you do this?

During the sessions, which lasted 2 days, I was at perfect peace amidst a bunch of screaming pseudo-adults. Completely unbothered. I'm not talking about controlling my frustration, I had none at all.

Because I don't care. It's a super power. Which obviously needs to be applied responsibly.

If this were something like bread or water, then yes. But it's not. A Tesla is a luxury purchase, not an essential purchase. Nobody who chooses not to buy one because of Elon's stupid antics is going to suffer in absolutely any sense.
It’s not a trivial fix. Besides the fix likely being in microcode (where AMD figures out why aliasing is broke for addresses that are close to page-aligned), even a software mitigation would be complex because the kernel cannot actually use vector instructions that are typically used for the fallback path when ERMS is not available.

The point being that all of those topics are a potential area to deep dive. The previous poster is disappointed that not everyone happens to deep dive on his specific area of interest, while there are likely a hundred areas other people are experts in that he has not done a deep dive for.
You could also just stick it behind a reverse proxy with basic HTTP Authentication; that means you have to keep Apache/nginx/caddy/whatever up to date but that part is easy and then nothing else can get to the actual application if you've done it right.

I've had a half dozen or so Subaru's and have had little trouble with any of them. Currently we have a '17 Forester we bought new currently with 120k miles on it and just last week I picked up a used '21 Ascent.

The Forester has been though two batteries and just last week I had a wheel bearing in the rear replaced. No other trouble and still runs fine.

I got the Ascent to keep out in Seattle and that'll be my car there -- it'll fit right in -- Subaru seems to make up about 30% of cars in the Seattle area.
This is the wrong question to ask as a consumer. There is a large variation across models as well as across years.

If you are in the market, you are better off spending your time researching specifics rather than aggregations.
Yup, I might've actually started playing this.

Yeah the fuel economy is definitely not a selling point even on the standard WRX. Couple that with a strange urge to engage in spirited driving and you’ll be getting your mpgs down to the teens or low twenties.

Re 1: I really hope they bring out a refreshed version, but I have a feeling that may not happen for a while… at least while batteries weigh what they do. Maybe a full EV version some day?

Re 2: yeah the STi was hardly affordable to (my guess) the majority of the crowd that’s into them.

I should have snagged an STi instead of the standard WRX when I had the chance. I love my wrx though, so much fun to drive.

Chat clients and Slack specifically are designed for sync primarily. GitHub discussions and email are wholly async. Basecamp has a chat feature not chat focus. I don't know Twist.

You said instantly. Not me or the person who wrote the 1st comment.

I believe data I saw over your assertion. Nearly 2 in 3 people in very different companies said expectations changed soon after their company or team started to use chat software. This excluded companies where near real time responses were expected already. Our tools shape us is a well known observation.

And that was not even the type of expectation I meant. The 1st comment talked about missing conversation while focused on tasks. This leads to being left out of decisions and so on.

Debian is already fully bootstrapped on LoongArch
Musk may be an asshole boss and he may post cringy right wing opinions on X, but trying to boycott his businesses based on those actions is quite disproportionate compared to the behaviors whole industries are engaging in regularly. Elon and his companies are in no way worse for the world than the average car manufacturer or businessman.
Henry Ford and Wernher von Braun are also in the history books, but not always in the ways they might have hoped for.
