Almost everyone I encounter dislikes Elon Musk. I'm not even talking about tech people, although I do live in Silicon Valley and that might bias things. My hair dresser, my wife's make-up artist friend and stay-at-home moms. My kids' teachers.

For better or worse, even random Joe Q. Public knows who the richest man in the world is, and has some opinion on him. Everything he does is scrutinized by the media and put into some political or moral framework. Just like Bill Gates in the '90's, he's inescapable.

But unlike Bill Gates and other prior holders of the richest-man title, Musk eschews any personal PR department and instead broadcasts to the world unfiltered takes. And by and large, people don't like what they see.
For me the crux of it is where's the boundary of 'self'. Regardless of how it came to be, we can define a bounded self (whether bio or software) that runs freely taking energy (but not decision input) from outside. Then we can say that that self produces outputs that have internal sources as being 'free'.

To me it basically comes down to infinite butterfly effects where the knowledge of past/current states of the environment can't be effectively used to predict the output of the self.

Another fun way to imagine it is to say 'I' is the complex gut microbiome that's interchanged and evolving and it's the 'source' of decisions more than anything else. It would also solve the problem of how the human population keeps increasing but souls are discrete and countable--even with reincarnation the number of creatures varies greatly. With microbiomes they can be cultivated and/or subdivided, and mixed. Of course this doesn't work out, but it's easy to see there are things that we haven't considered yet to be ruled out.
They're not "inefficient", they're less power-dense in terms of mass. There's many types of efficiencies and where a car is involved, EVs are largely more efficient in those measures than ICE cars.
I owned a Volvo when it was afully Scandinavian company . It was always having issues. My regret was paying BMW like repair costs for a boxy Volvo.
I am surprised tesla is that high up in the list. It feels like a bucket on wheels.

They are cooking the frog. First 1 to 2 days, then as long as you're in 50% in a month. Now 3 days. Most of the people rant but give up at the end and some go elsewhere. The ones who do what they want and work from home do just that. Execs are happy when they can show 50% compliance overall so they get the bonus.

> at least in the US, the poorest households do not have dishwashers

Not just the poorest. About half of the places I've lived in the US didn't have a dishwasher, and only about 1/4 of those places were affordable for a low-income person.

In my experience, it largely depends on how recently the place was built/remodeled.
Yet, millions of tons of H2 is produced, stored and transported annually, today.

It needs adequate ventilation to ensure that any leakage doesn't accumulate to exceed a 25% mix with air. That is done where H2 is used now. You are not hearing about hydrogen detonations.
So it is ok for church schools to not hire atheist people who do not follow the religion tenet?
I think a lot of companies started 'getting it right' during that time.

FBOW however, the increasing demands of Fuel Economy and emissions standards led to a lot of poorly-executed moves for various companies from a reliability standpoint; Sometimes it's dual clutch transmissions or CVTs, sometimes it's stuff like cylinder deactivation or a cheaped out Turbo 4 or 3 cylinder design.

And then, all the speeds on an auto in general now. It took a decent amount of time for (most of) the automakers to make a reliable 4 speed auto across their lines. Hondamatic 5 speeds warned of things to come, because first everyone started flipping to 6 speeds (emphasis on the starting bit, in 2006). Then over the next 10-12 years we got all the way from 6 speeds to 10, often without enough size increase budget to know it will all be reliable.
If you went out on the street and asked random people to name CEOs of nestle or shell I'd guess you'd have a super majority who don't know.

There's a reason most CEOs stay quiet, when you become the face of a company your actions reflect on the companies you represent, and when you spend billions of dollars to make sure that your antics are broadcast as far and wide as possible it's not surprising that your antics affect your companies.

There's a reason most spokespeople for companies have to sign some level of acceptable public behavior contract.
One person dying does not equate to "unsafe roads" in the way that "widespread adoption of motor vehicles" does. People were frequently trampled by horse-drawn carriages prior to cars, but not at anywhere close to the rate after cars became so ubiquitous.

There are definitely times I’ll take on a personal cost because of my principles. But he’s pretty far removed from your actual life and there are other factors. There are good people in the company and it’s the best current shot at competing with eg China. Fair chance almost all electric cars are made by China in 20 years. I’d rather deal with a flaky CEO who also happens to generate massive economic benefits for my country. (But that’s me, obviously everyone has that choice to make. And if Tesla was Russian I’d be right there with you so maybe I’m full of it :)
A core part of npm is that the dependencies are installed in the folder/project you are working in (unless you use the --global flag which is discouraged for most use-cases).

Can I use this in any way without a global system state? Like with https://github.com/zonkyio/embedded-postgres-binaries or similar that don't have a global install? Or with a distro that supports multiple versions/instances of postgresql?
> but all the alternatives require significant redesign in languages and tools people are unfamiliar with and we can't afford that overhead

Where I work, we've made it a principle to stay OpenCL-compatible even while going with NVIDIA due to their better-performing GPUs. I even go as far as writing kernels that can be compiled as either CUDA C++ or OpenCL-C, with a bit of duct-tape adapter headers:

https://github.com/eyalroz/gpu-kernel-runner/blob/main/kerne...

https://github.com/eyalroz/gpu-kernel-runner/blob/main/kerne...

of course, if you're working with higher-level frameworks then it's more difficult, and you depend on whether or not they provided different backends. So, no thrust for AMD GPUs, for example, but pytorch and TensorFlow do let you use them.
Maybe they need to machine it from a block of metal, like apple's laptops.

Yep. I've mentioned before on HN that this is the operational method used by IB/RAW.

It's a total clown show, as almost all these agents are publicly listed as Intelligence Agents (any IPS officer or State Police Officer that gets central deputation to work with IFS is intelligence).

"Senior Field Officer" is a IB/RAW rank btw. You can practice for the exam for that position on Sequoia funded Byju [0] and an example exam [1]

Tbf they tend to get people who rote study instead of strong critical thinking skills as like with any other Indian govt job you need to take a hypercompetitive exam that takes years to study and the pay sucks (best case $2k a month at the highest levels).

The best and brightest join the private sector or electoral politics instead. No point grinding for a govt exam when you can either gain a ton of money or power respectively.

If I understand it correctly… he thinks users will go elsewhere and considers that okay, but by "users" he has in mind Twitter's audience, not its advertisers. Advertisers should bring their advertising budget to whichever platform has the audience and offers capable targeting, and not try to influence platforms or users. "Platforms serve users, not advertisers" or something like that, and advertisers should accept that the audience is real people with real people's occasionally nasty habits.

I personally disagree. To my mind, it's perfectly reasonable for advertisers to say e.g. "if a screenshot with some nazi shit blows up and causes a scandal, I really don't want our ad visible" and prevent that from happening by not advertising on Twitter. My disagreement means nothing, though, since I'm neither a user, an advertiser or Elon.
You can expect the Python developers to look very closely at any benchmark that significantly benefits from adding random padding to the object header. Performance isn’t just trying a bunch of random things and picking whatever works the best, it’s critical to understand why so you know that the improvement is not a fluke. Especially since it is very easy to introduce bias and significantly perturb the results if you don’t understand what’s going on.
Weight, presumably, because that's the topic of the parent comment. Mile for mile, batteries are heavy and gasoline is (comparatively) light
The same engines they cancelled would have been used on LH2-fueled aircraft.
Thanks for this unexpected, thriller-like read.

I'm impressed by your perseverance, how you follow through with your investigation to the lowest (hardware) level.
I'm not surprised at all. MG4 is the best bang-for-the-buck BEV you can buy in Europe.

To me more surprising is that Fiat 500e was higher in the ranking, despite costing more and having smaller battery.

MG4 also has Xpower model, which costs the same as a base model of VW ID.3, but does 0-60 in 3.5s (it's not a real sports car, but it's still ridiculous).

If you have DMARC and DKIM configured correctly, use a dedicated IP (so you can control its reputation) which you don't just start sending millions of emails from and have your SMTP server configured to communicate via TLS/SSL, you'll probably be fine -- assuming your IP hasn't been blacklisted in the past.
The whole concept of roads being "car land" comes from car industry propaganda. Roads existed before cars, and people walked in them. Then cars came along and started killing a lot of pedestrians. Car companies didn't like the negative PR, so they promoted the idea of roads being "car land". They created the concept of "jaywalking" and lobbied governments to make it illegal.

You are the one operating a machine that kills people easily. It is your job to avoid killing people.
That's completely fine in kernels and low-level libraries, but if I find that in a library as high-level as opendal, I'll definitely mark it down as a code smell.
I dunno if it's just my system fonts, but the numeric digits are not all the same width, so the clock jumps around slightly as it changes.
I think it's just politics mixed with his Twitter ownership making him enemy number one of the mainstream press (replacing Zuck - they like Zuck now).

You get article after article hating on him - it ends up affecting reputation and public sentiment.

Humanity is lucky to have him, despite his faults.
Yes, it's very pleasant to talk to. The only great conversation I had with it involved playing both sides, teasing apart dimensions, and asking for concrete numbers (1-10 scale). That was the closest I ever felt to being a Asimov robot-psychiatrist x Minority Report pod-dweller.
I'd expect somewhere in between the strong negativity on the Internet and total obliviousness.

Average person probably doesn't consciously register all that is happening and can't tell you about the past weeks' drama, but I think there's a certain point where too much negativity attached to a brand starts to drag it down, and Tesla might have reached that point.

I'm not saying it certainly has, but a few years back the outlook on Tesla was so overwhelmingly positive, you'd have to actively seek out criticism on your own. At least nowadays sentiment on them seem to have returned back to Earth.
Musk does this routinely, also with the Boring Company or with Twitter - upon his acquisition, he took a lot of Tesla staff with him to Twitter HQ [1] to help out.

In the first nine months of 2023, electric vehicles accounted for 21.5% of cars sold in California (7.4% nationwide). Apparently we're ahead of schedule to get to 100% before 2035 when ZEV will be mandatory.
I'd like to be a purist about email, but I just can't bring myself to care, because as long as my correspondent is a corporate whore, why shouldn't I be too? A copy of the email is going to end up on their servers anyway.

In other words, I can only protect email from my provider as long as everyone else on the email protects it from theirs. And it only takes one gmail user on the thread to ruin it for everybody.

If I'm corresponding with people who also care about this kind of thing, we aren't using email. If we absolutely have to, then we can encrypt it with PGP.

My email use cases are: (1) b2b professional emails, which you expect to be retained for compliance, etc. and (2) transactional emails, which my provider unavoidably has access to and which I protect with strong passwords and 2FA. (That said, I would like to obscure the list of my internet accounts from google, so maybe one day I'll migrate my transactional emails somewhere else.)
Yeah the driver is usually doing something stupid like texting too. Which reminds me of the Werner Herzog documentary From One Second to the Next (2013) @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1vCqfYpos
I read a long time ago, I think in Scientific American, that there are two different genes involved here: one that causes your pee to have that distinct asparagus smell or not, and a different gene that determines whether you can smell that particular aroma or not.

So the article divided people into four groups: smelly smellers, smelly non-smellers, non-smelly smellers, and non-smelly non-smellers.

I don't seem to be finding the original article, but here is a related one:

That's not what bias means. If I'm in the market for a new car I want to know how the 2022 model is expected to perform. Whether the car was reliable 10-15 years ago isn't all that relevant to me considering how quickly lines are refreshed.

>New vehicles are much safer from a structural standpoint than older ones.

Perhaps if you compare the same model 15 years ago and now that is true, but people rarely buy the same model used as they would new. At least among my aquitances it is common to consider a higher class used car, or a much cheaper lower class new car. I doubt a 6 years old lexus rx350 is less safe than 2023 Toyota Yaris for example. Two cars of comparable price around here in Central EU.
well the weight of petrol disapears, batteries' stay the same.

So petrol is more efficient in that way.
There are only 4 cars: Tundra, Tacoma, 4runner, prius. The rest are mere toys. Don't get a Tundra if you live in a big city though. Seriously just get a 4runner unless you regularly need to haul stuff.

Well no, buying from Tesla gives Elon money and legitimacy.

Any company with >$50 million in real cashflow is a target for private equity to come in, load it up with debt and extract the cash.
The separation of art and artist is a complex thing that differs from person to person. I think one universal aspect is that one's willingness to divest from art (or product, in this case) is relative to the ratio of disgust felt for the artist to desire for the product. Elon has reached a point of cultural over-saturation while Tesla's products move in the wrong direction on the ladder of cultural cache, the result of their (Tesla vehicles') own foibles and the industry as a whole just becoming more competitive. While plenty of people won't buy his cars, I'm sure they will or would still use a Tesla Supercharger if they could, because the value there is simply too compelling and the relationship is brief but powerful.

Elon in particular has become a liability thanks to his deliberate efforts to be the face and voice of Tesla. For me and clearly others, it's no longer possible to think of Tesla independently of him. His products need to be that must better to work against it and they're just not making the cut.

Other products -- Shell, Nestle -- are reevaluated for disgust-vs-need each time. Most of us have tiny, brief interactions with these companies. There's no meaningful relationship, so I'd have to be extremely furious with a brand to avoid their product. Right now I'll get gas from Shell but not Lukoil, for instance.

Huh, I suppose we're different. I wasn't born American, and both the truck stop stuff and the Japanese city are wondrous to me. But they're obviously different experiences because of how many novel things I can experience in a short amount of time.
You don't need to do any extra build tasks - the file should be everything you need.

There are some gotchas to watch out for though: https://github.com/mozilla-Ocho/llamafile#gotchas
I have a Model 3 (2018) and a Model Y (2022) and both are largely without issues.

I think people meme hard on Tesla to make them sound like the most unreliable car out there for some reason, when in reality you occasionally have fit and finish issues and a normal amount of unreliability.
From the perspective of a molecule of water, I don't think you can tell whether the wall you are in contact with was heated by other molecules like yourself, or whether it was heated by an electrical resistor sitting behind it. It's just stainless steel at 95C or so that is touching your cheek.
> I would be surprised if transistors are as flexible as human neurons

Yeah, I didn't check to consider that the specific potential energy (10 km times g = 100 kJ/kg) is actually much larger than the specific kinetic energy (200 m/s squared over two = 20 kJ/kg) so my idea of pre-charging the velocity doesn't pencil out.

I do like the magsafe charger idea. However, I anticipate some regulatory issues.
It's exciting! There's built-up anticipation. Even if it's just specs and price, I'm sure the teams who worked on it are excited to share their work with the world!

Storage of LH2 is not, in fact, heavy. Rockets are even launched carrying it.

Management of bulk LH2 is a chore, but is mature technology. The value proposition of LH2 as aircraft fuel is such that, in any market where LH2 airframes come into service, kerosene craft will be immediately wholly unable to compete.
