These guys care about superficial things when likely the current car they brought has a similar “bad guy” that had a hand in making his vehicle. Ignorance at its best
There's no IQ test to afford a Beemer. The things I did to my 323i I would never dream of doing to my Toyota (and guess which one has lasted 20 years).
yesterday on my way to work i saw a guy in one of those huge pickup trucks cut a corner on a right turn, run over the concrete bike lane seperator, which was marked by a row of roughly three foot high reflector sticks (which he also mowed down), and then drive his right front wheels up over the curve onto the sidewalk.

on a perfectly clear morning in a residential neighborhood, with curbs painted with that yellow reflective paint.
Cars don't always stop at marked crossings. Hell, they don't always stop at marked crossings with lights, or at school bus stops. This isn't an issue of pedestrians just randomly walking in front of cars. Drivers don't always look where they're going, and it's getting worse as people get more distracted by things like massive screens replacing physical controls on the dashboard.

A decade ago, I knew a girl who got hit by a passing SUV while crossing the street to board the school bus. The bus was stopped with lights and signs out on a 2-lane road, it was impossible to miss. The SUV driver just decided not to stop and clipped her going 45 mph when legally they should have stopped. Getting hit was not her fault, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of cases were similar.
This is exactly what I do. Debian + Postfix + rspamd.
It basically runs itself, I login to the rspamd web gui every now and then and add a few hosts to the "trusted DMARC" whitelist so they get a better score through rspamd, but I don't really need to do that.

I've been running it for ~5 years this way and it hardly ever lets a spam through (Very rarely the spams that are just images get through) and I've rejected 2 mails that I'm fairly sure were legit (just bulk marketing ones though)

People always say "Use Mailcow!" and I say "But why?". Adding the additional complexity of docker with the random firewall rules it adds, individual containers that need to be fed and watered. It's a mailserver, all the processes are doing the same mail related function.
Don't get me wrong, there's a very real place for Mailcow etc, but for a small end-user mailserver I think it adds overhead that makes running a mailserver more complex, not less.

Anyway, great in depth article.
> Now that the immediate danger seems to be resolved

What was the most immediate danger exactly? My take on the mainstream reaction is that it appears to have been the perceived loss of financial value if Altman left. Does that sound correct?
After they fixed the head gasket issues of the 2000s or so, they seem to be fine? My partner, myself, most of my friends, and may of my coworkers, and much of my town drives them. They're insanely popular in outdoorsy and snowy areas. The article scores them decently high in reliability too.

I'd never get a WRX though.

Build quality and ride comfort though, not so much. They're rough and tumble machines, not luxury sedans (well, the Legacy is nice enough, not seems silly to get that over a Toyota).

Speaking of Toyota, they own part of Subaru anyway and have collaborated with them on a few dual-branded vehicles.

A decade ago most people I knew thought of Elon neutral or even positively, he was just a figure that was doing good stuff with cars for the environment. At this point everyone I know thinks he's pathetic and a disgusting person.

I don't know when the Cybertruck was announced initially, I believe Elon had already started to enter the public eye a bit more aggressively... but sentiment has definitely changed over the last ~8-9 years.
this has nothing to do with it though. it's not that most normal people like him—it's just, most normal people don't spend any portion of their daily lives ruminating on how much they hate someone they've never met, who is much wealthier and more successful than themselves, to the point of repeatedly expressing said hate on the Internet... well, at least, since about 2020 or so.
The first 3 years of a new car are almost always covered under manufacturer warranty, hence manufacturers have a strong financial incentive to minimize issues in that time interval.

A less biased review would also include years 3-7 at least, but perhaps up to 10.
The article starts with pictures from the preproduction trucks with awful gaps. Later down the page they have pictures from production trucks without awful gaps.
Yeah. I honestly don't know if I'd trade my 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero for a 2023 anything. No trouble, no nonsense, it's fast enough, it doesn't nag at me if I drive around the block without my seatbelt, and minor repairs are rarely more than $100.

A few years back, I had a late model Mercedes GLS, and the damn thing was in the shop almost every other month, and each time it was at least $300-400. Mostly it was electronic components that were at fault; an error in the anti-theft system which cost me $2000 was too much to bear, and I sold the car at a loss...
Those things are necessary but if that's the extent of their efforts then they are going to be sad.
I can control circumstances, other people's actions, and life/death. Sorry my bad.
He already apologized for the tweets? And said "If we make bad products that people don’t want to use, the users will vote with their resources and use something else." So what is he calling "blackmail"?
Exceptions typically unwind the stack, producing a stack trace similar to what certain Go error types already do. Go's panic does actually unwind the stack. In a sense, Go has had Java/Python style exceptions, from the beginning, through panic and recover. This project distinguishes itself from that pattern in the README.

As far as error handling is concerned, errors as values is the modern thinking. Go is not behind the times here. If you squint, the `(T, error)` return type is very similar to Rust's `Result`, and the `if err != nil` idiom is basically Monadic control flow.

Short answer: yes. In the 1970s it was standard to IPL ("initial program load" == boot) using a short deck of cards. As I recall you dropped the cards in the card reader, and brought the system up by reading the deck, which then pointed the processor to read the OS from disk. In principle it's not that different from BIOS.

It's been a while since I did that.

(Edit: typo)
Too bad that plenty of these "heavy stuffs" are driven by people who sometimes decide to drive into pedestrians.
Everyone gets bigger cars because bigger cars have more room inside so they're really comfortable and practical.

Teslas are heavier because they have to use batteries and batteries are incredibly inefficient compared to petrol. This is the consequence of you asking them to get rid of combustion.
Hybrid vehicle sales continue to grow. They have hardly been "decimated".
Some EVs will monitor the 12V battery and periodically connect the traction battery to the DC-DC converter to maintain the 12V battery when the car is parked for an extended period of time. (On the older Smart EVs, this doesn’t have a limit, so the traction battery will kill itself trying to maintain a weak 12V battery. There’s a firmware patch for it.)
defrost is the big one with me.

not only is it on the touchscreen, it doesn't have a dedicated location, is hard to locate visually, then hard to hard to actually press (small target), all in a moving car and without affecting other controls.

also, turn on cabin lights? flash headlights off and on? sigh.
https://python-type-challenges.zeabur.app/basic/optional could have a better description. It does not become clear that the default value should be 0.
On engine reliability they are on par. On electronics and auxiliaries both can't hold a candle to the Japanese in terms of reliability, but all car manufacturers have problems in that domain.
You're wrong.

App/mobile and web developers are stretched beyond belief as it comes to skills expected of them. This handbook gives a reasonable overview of the scope of a front-end developer:

https://thoughtworksinc.github.io/front-end-handbook/en/

Yet it's still incomplete, most of the cloud stuff isn't even included.

We're over-asking people. Take Spotify. Has an army of quite decent engineers. They had to actually build a homegrown platform to shield developers from the ops tooling madness. The average developer struggles to understand just git. Even senior ones do.

Front-end developers were a joke 20 years ago. Not taken very serious, not "real" developers. Now it's one of the most complicated programming jobs there are. You have to know...everything.

As for performance, there I do agree that a programmer has a responsibility.

Yeah, if most are in an office then you can't even trust them saying your job will remain remote. It's mixed where I am. C-suite is partially remote. Some higher-ups aren't remote, but they're in a separate city from my team. Managers on my team used to never come to the office, but lately they have been. And even in-office people are only there 2-3 days a week.

I think the biggest thing reducing my risk is the mix of office locations at this point.
Quite literally in part due to mass.
Yes, but NHTSA doesn't account for the safety of others, nor have they ever. They do have some pedestrian safety stuff, not sure if it's live yet, but, working on it.

In any case, the safety-class thing is really a big issue issue here, because you can buy a compact hatchback with a 5-star rating or a giant SUV with a 5-star rating, but those ratings aren't at-all comparable.

The thing is, making those ratings honest is really only going to make people want larger cars, because larger cars are actually safer. I think you could probably solve this by rating not only the car, but also the likelihood it will injure/kill a driver of the other classes of cars.

You could come up with some slick THIS vs THAT iconography, and that would allow people to realize that they're either driving an 8000lb death sled, or they'd rather not have that liability.

They only measure 3 year reliability, and BMWs are well known to reliably go to shit after 3 years.

Anecdata to your point:

1. In the world of Honda S2000's, all other things being equal the 2004-05 models command a premium over the 00-03 and 06-09 model years.

2. My wife (2022 Prius) sighs when she sees how attached I am to my 2008 CR-V. It has 220K miles and I'd be happy to drive it another 220K.
Not negative at all. I just learned something new, thanks!
jql homoiconicity looks rather ... Lispy. Like you could use it on itself, write "Macros", etc.
if it's moving towards you, yeah. Good advice.
Bravo for this accomplished display of victim blaming. If only pesky pedestrians stopped trying to get around on foot and got into their own private steel boxes, they'd be safer!
The outside look of it is really terrible. It's like someone made a rough sketch of a truck and then told the team to build that exact sketch. Which is almost certainly what actually happened.

Subaru finally made an EV (the Solterra). I love the way it drives, but it's more expensive (at least at my dealer) than an entry level Tesla. I'd trust Subaru way more than Tesla though.
Apparently freedom of speech that Elon doesn’t like is blackmail.
Not for any “purposeful” use. Screensavers were used to prevent burn-in. So, unless you’re using a CRT, it’s a waste of power. OLED displays usually have built-in burn-in protection nowadays as well. Again, it is more energy efficient to power off the display.
I believe the BIOS was open or something like that. In general, though, it is hard to have a meaningful consistent position here because you can have most of the software be open and some random peripheral with closed firmware can DMA all over everything it wants :/

It was not Helsing, sorry. The challenge was to build a zero-knowledge implementation from scratch as an auth/login server. I was able to get it working, but I spent a non-trivial amount of time on it, which is the real story of my job search lately. It's a part-time job just to keep up with code challenges while I'm applying this often for work.
What's the bet that there was no single approved requirements document covering this design.
“Brevity is the soul of wit”

Maybe we have different goals but I don’t get paid to write witty code and I don’t think anyone on my team would appreciate it if I did.

I don’t think the redeeming qualities of brevity in prose transfer to something like terse syntax.
Yeah, I've always liked the idea of jq but personally I find it easier to open a REPL in the language I'm most familiar with (which happens to be JS, which does make a difference) and just paste in the JSON and work with it there

It may be more verbose, but I never have to google anything, which makes a bigger difference in my experience
How long will other countries allow Chinese companies to sell there when non-Chinese companies face much stricter rules when selling in China? Not to mention the perks like state banks providing financing, forgiving missed payments and doing loan rollovers repeatedly, etc. Everyone provides support in some form or another but China provides the most (on a relative basis).

For my part I'd like to see China increase imports to balance trade so it becomes sustainable. That will result in the best outcomes for everyone.
I don't have to read the article to know it's Toyota. That's the kind of brand awareness only years of great track record can buy. If you're playing the long game, money invested in reliability gain you more than marketing.
I remember looking at some new features and was so hopeful the language would get better but they had some super cargo culty take on something borrowed from another language that completely missed the point. It's a horribly done me too language where the developers don't fully understand what they are "me too"ing.

7.0 had some issues so bad it's almost impossible to find anymore. Seems like they tried to erase it from the internet. The language itself is an attack vector.
Keep in mind if you're buying a used 2007 Toyota Camry that the oil burning problem was a Toyota Service Bulletin and not a recall. The TSB has expired. If the previous owner(s) did t do it in time, you can't do it for free anymore. You might need to "top up" half a quart of engine oil or do oil changes every three thousand to five thousand miles even with full synthetic oil, ignoring any Toyota assurances that you may wait longer.

I remember some articles on HN a while back about running your own email servers. I think they basically said that they would end up in spam for just about every contact. It seems like most people today use email that runs through Gmail. Who get to more or less decide how the worlds email should be processed. SMTP was meant to be an open protocol. It's really messed up what happened to it.
Cars kept solely for convenience should be eliminated.
I continue to be puzzled by people's strong opinions on Elon. He's says dumb things on social media but there seem to be unusually strong sacred contagion effects from that.

Buying petrol from Shell or cereal from Nestle? No problem. Buying a Model 3 from Tesla? No way!

Honestly, I'd be surprised if there weren't a ton of people with the same views on immigration or trans issues or covid or whatever, each associated with a company you buy from every year.

Though personally, I always thought Cybertruck looked pretty naff.
Hm I haven't had any issues like that. I do have room sync issues where it takes forever to join a large room, but nothing wrong with the app itself. I'm also using the Electron app across platforms and maybe it handles differently across browsers, but I use the Discord Electron app also.

It's not efficient at all. Without condensing the solar input, there simply isn't enough energy to heat the water fast enough to create enough steam to push a fan.

However, what you have described is similar to the basic design of closed-loop industrial solar thermal systems: they concentrate solar power to heat a liquid or other medium and use the heat (or heat differential) conventionally (see, for example the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility near Las Vegas).
"they open fully in really tight spots where normal doors wouldn’t"

I don't see how this helps. They're on the back, not the front, so the driver can't get any benefit. So you still always need to have room to open the doors normally.
I don't see any mention of WiFi 6E, for extended radio bandwidth in the 5GHz range.

Only "WiFi6".
Electric cars already look a bit different -- many of them don't have a front grille.

But what else would you change?

I'm not sure there's as much scope for flexibility as you think. Maybe when self-driving cars are common and very safe, internal seat layouts could change a bit. That seems a long way off though.
Haha, you got me
> I have one, but am looking for a second.

I don't think they're transferable.
I would buy the crap out of that, but it will never see actual production looking like that. By the time it's done it'll be round just like every other car.
Because it's not a rocket launch operation, it's a announcement of price and specification. You won't magically own one when the countdown reaches 0. The romantic idea of 'launching' everything in tech is wearing a bit thin.
I would be interested to learn how this works in practice. In many companies separate divisions barely collaborate or take learnings from each other. 2 separate companies sharing learnings is unique.
Yeah Chase works out the best for sure. Especially if you manage to get a signup bonus. That's what I did for the Preferred earlier this year and it netted me 80k extra points. Used part of it to get "free" roundtrip economy tickets to Japan from California. Not bad. You're right though that the Apple Card just isn't really that worth it unless you're buying hardware every year, which I do not.
This is the equivalent of taking a single dumb tweet and trying to pick it apart scientifically.

Maybe it makes you feel good, but overall it was just a huge time waste for everyone.
You saying I'm flamebaiting? I doubt anyone is going to be offended by PHP being trash, especially anyone that has spent any serious time working with it.
> they open fully in really tight spots where normal doors wouldn’t

Honest question, how do they work in vertically constrained spaces? Like subterranean parking lots. I appreciate the design, but I'm wondering if they have the same issues as some older wing doors.
I still think that if Tesla has figured out a way of making pointy metal cars, they should buy the Delorean IP and bring it back as an electric car.
ah yes the "you live in society yet you criticize it" logic, you think i have a choice in the fact that we live in a fossil fuel car dependant society?

Weight is not the main factor. Height/shape is much more important.

From https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/06/28/suvs-killi... :

> Hampton Clay Gabler, a professor in the department of biomedical engineering and mechanics at Virginia Tech, [ ... ] described the vulnerability of pedestrians when struck by an SUV as a geometry problem of sorts because SUVs and pickups tend to be tall compared with pedestrians and have a blunter front end. That positioning is more likely to put someone’s head or chest in line to be struck during the initial impact with a vehicle. “(Not to diminish leg injuries but) serious head and chest injuries can actually kill you,” Gabler said in a telephone interview.

(It is probably true, though, that most vehicles this heavy are tall as well, so weight would still be correlated to how dangerous a vehicle is.)
The risk is that he will go much farther than he already has. If he comes out as a full-fledged neo-Nazi, which I wouldn't bet against given how erratically he has behaved lately, the value of Teslas on the used market will plummet.
> batteries are incredibly inefficient compared to petrol

What are you getting on about? By what metric?
To be fair, they did write things down. It’s more a matter of explaining why GPT was behaving the way it was (ie, because it was regurgitating its training data). Also, I’d personally respect a blog post just as a much as a peer reviewed journal article on something like this where it’s pretty easy to reproduce yourself, not to mention that I and I’m sure many others have observed this behaviour before.
