I have an animation degree (never pursued it professionally).
For one project, I took some shortcuts, and ‘owned up’ to it during the presentation to the class.

My lecturer interrupted me and wanted to emphasise that there is no ‘cheating’ in animation - you get the end result whichever way you want. Experimentation happened all the time in traditional practice and ended up becoming indispensable innovations across the industry.

I now work more with data and documents, but I still apply that mindset to my work.

Well kanji and emoji both share 「字」(“ji”, https://www.edrdg.org/jmwsgi/entr.py?svc=jmdict&sid=&q=13151...). I don’t think it’s much more significant than that, it’s the same “ji” in romaji which is just the Roman alphabet and even in the west we have pictures that convey meaning such as in traffic signs, DOT pictograms, restroom symbols and emoticons.

Good luck with your studies.
This seems like a reference-object error (a denotation error, or sense-reference error in philosophical terms), except the functional definition and the partial numerical expansion are both references to PI rather than being PI itself.

Diving into JTAG – Overview (Part 1)
Presumably the limit is the hitch, not the drive train. You can put only so much force on a standard-sized chunk of steel.
Usually those types of pieces have an "eat your vegetables" vibe to them. While it may be good advice (and is, in the case of vegetables) people generally don't listen to music to be challenged.

They're seeking familiarity, comfort, joy -- which are hard to find in "challenging" music, whether that's genres that they don't care for or more experimental music that defies conventions.
It could be a rating on the frame and hitch that keeps it at that level. Or possibly braking.
So the $40K CyberTruck is actually $61,000 and works on the assumption of tax credits being available at the end of 2025, 2 years from now... oh, and we've gone back to the bullshit of "subtracting gas costs from the "probable price"."

Another Elon lie. Four, nearly five years after initial claims - meant to be available in 2021, and 52% more expensive.

"Range: 250 - 500 miles". Another lie. Try 250 - 340. 33% less.

No solar roof.

The brake lights might be tied with the Mini for the worst/least intuitive brake lights in history (the Mini has the left light with the left half of the Union Jack, i.e. looks like a right arrow, and the right light with the right half, looking like a left arrow, while the Cyber Truck actually turns OFF lights on the light bar to signify braking is happening, and turns them ON when no braking is happening).
What if the original patent holder is not a trillion dollar business?
The whole Cybertruck site is really well designed - animations are subtle and way less choppy/annoying (on my M2 Mac) than Apple's website.
When I read it for the first time many years ago it left a deep impression. And as others mentioned in this thread, reading it again recently I found new things that I didn't understand the first time. A bit sad, disillusioning but just kind of resonating with deeper truth.
Correlation yes, as it means that it has a connection between both, but the cause might be a third thing (like a divestment from science, etc..).
But the title "ban of the printing press LED to the decline..." implies causation, which is not a conclusion you get without more facts.

Both happened at the same time, but we cannot conclude that banning the printing press caused the decline. The printing press ban might just have been another symptom of the overall misgovernment that generated the decline.
Likely what the frame/towhook attachment is rated for, rather than the motors
Wow, that's accurate (1971).
I'd say game studios are also especially risk-averse if you are building tools that are in the critical path for the game. Developers have to really trust you to be open to using your tool, which is probably why Microsoft is able to sell Playfab

Data point of one (as is this essay), but Twitter hasn’t changed that much for me.

In some ways the timeline algo actually feels more addictive.

I do see posts that might have been flagged under the previous team, but if I don’t like them I can mute or unfollow - it’s not that big a deal.

A bigger issue in my opinion is the government demanding that social media companies censor things, and I think Elon has done a good job shining light on this.
Are there any videos of how well a driver can see out of this thing to the sides and rear? I can't imagine it's great.

Without knowing much about towing things, I'd guess it's limited by the brakes. Could also be whatever attaches the tow hitch to the frame.

Seems shady

One more point for Don't Be Clever. As Brian Kernighan put it: “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.”
No $40k truck, but $61k is $51.6k in 2019 dollars, so pretty reasonable price and specs.

Towing capacity is not a function of torque alone. You need to be able to brake your load, keep it stable behind the car and have enough juice on board to actually get it somewhere.

The US would definitely be more efficient with fewer timezones. Really we should find a way to remove at least one between the 2 coasts. United, no, but the US is not the EU. America is united by default, Europe divided.
If I had to guess at what the next leap for AI would be, it looks something like a collection of small and large special-purpose models, with a model on top that excels at understanding which sub-models (if any) should be applied to the current problem space.

> Prices assume IRA Federal Tax Credits up to $7,500 for Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive and est. gas savings of $3,600 over 3 years.

This seems like a new low in scammy marketing. I can't wait for everything to have wildly undermarked prices with small asterisks saying it's when you subtract all the ways it will save you money in the long term.
They end with "2 out of 5 of the episodes are lost". So even ignoring the rest of the article, they couldn't realistically show it anyway.

> With the ability to pull near infinite mass and a towing capability of over 14,000 pounds, Cybertruck can perform in almost any extreme situation with ease.

This is direct quote from the Tesla site from 3 weeks ago.

It’s now 11,000lbs on the linked page. More Musk bullshittery.
I'm not sure that's specific to the US, and I don't even think that particular teaching method has been used here in Quebec, yet we still see broadly similar literacy rates and levels.

Last I checked US students rank well and are near the top in most education global rankings, so I think bad education is more of a global problem than Americans think it is. Maybe that's outdated though, I'll do my research.
You know what computers couldn’t do 10 years ago? Understand and write coherent code. Why do you feel confident in your opinion that they won’t be able to do that in the next 10 years?
What surprised me is the "order with card" choice. I haven't bought a new car in a while, but is it normal to be defaulted to putting a $100,000 purchase on a credit card?

Edit: Nevermind, it's a $250 deposit on a later $100,000 purchase.

Loading from Parquet is great if you have Parquet file... but for use case, CSV import is the best bet. It is also very fast (>1GB/s on uncompressed CSVs) and works fine if the CSVs are reasonably well-formatted.
The advent of AI has catalyzed a transformation in business operations across industries, addressing conventional challenges prevalent in automation tools, such as steep learning curves and prolonged timeframes.

Was incredible really how accurate it was.
Because the US are messed up on so many levels.

Of course the judicial, legislative and executive branches should be independent and they're not that much right now.

In any case, even in such a system the proposal might have more positive than negative effects, and maybe lead to gradual improvements to everything else.
I would like to see additional windows spawned after a certain point for a true 'brickception' experience.
Inflation exists independently of Musk or Tesla. $61k is $51.6k in 2019 dollars.
Using Ripgrep via Consult [1] in Emacs is bliss. It's like the rg+fzf thing that some have made, but all inside Emacs. I use the `consult-ripgrep` command all the time, and sometimes I use it to make project-wide edits too!

Can you share any advice on exporting? I used Evernote for years as my digital brain but also got fed up with the dark patterns. I stopped my renewal lately but thought I would still retain access to all of my old notes when I needed them. Seems like I should properly export now...
Yep. I used to be more charitable, but I've taken to being very short with founder wannabes who act like this. Bluntly, if they refuse to look past their preconceptions to see who they're actually talking to, why should I?

This is made easier knowing founders with those sorts of blinders are likely going to fail anyway, so you don't want to be in the blast radius when it happens.
Apple has many, many patents related to devices with ring-like form factors, but I'm not aware of any attempts to patent specific tori shapes.
Probably limitation of the battery pack structure.
I love reading stuff like this because I hate the GOP. I don't think too much about any of this stuff, because I know that the GOP is bad. There's no real risk in demonizing one party and having a single party state, that's the goal - to defeat my enemies, the GOP
Yeah, you'd need a goosneck at some point
11kish is usually ther upper limit of most half ton pickups. Probably a function of what the frame can handle.

But Towing 11k on that thing is already going to tank your range to ~100 miles. I couldn’t imagine towing our camper with this thing (and the design is stupid enough that you probably can’t tow a fifth wheel right the cybertruck anyway)
Towing capacity is generally limited by things like the frame, braking capacity, and cooling capacity.

If you hook any automatic transmission truck up to a really heavy trailer (100,000 pounds) you can probably move it around, but if you try to actually tow it anywhere the truck will either overheat or crash into something when you can't stop it going down a hill.

Torque really only determines how fast you can accelerate the load, not how much you can tow on the road.

Also, EV "torque" specs are not comparable to traditional car torque specs because they're measured differently (ICE measured at the engine before the transmission multiplies torque to the wheels, EV measured directly at the wheels)
Maybe the were referring to the F-150 Lightning, which is similar weight to the Cybertruck.
mkbhd will be putting out a review soon. Otherwise we only have Tesla's marketing materials.
Probably the same platform with different bodies. Might end up being vaporware, but I'm voting for the design language.

That’s because it’s for the $250 deposit.
The tax credit timeframe is already written into law, though? Of course Congress can't constrain itself so it could always cancel (or double!) those credits, but it seems pretty reasonable to rely on what the law currently says.
"Consciousness" is one of those loaded words that means a few different things in different contexts. When I say consciousness is about recursive theory of mind, I'm not trying to say that when you're asleep you're unable to do social reasoning. That's a different use of the same word.

I mean "conscious" in the sense of self-awareness or sentience.

I'm also not ascribing any moral or cognitive superiority or inferiority to different levels of it. The fact that a cat might be less self-aware of its suffering because it think about how it would explain its pain to other cats does mean imply that I'm saying it should be OK to torture cats.

I'm just interested in what is going in human brains when we "feel self-aware". What are we doing when we're thinking about what we're doing? Where does that sense of perceptual distance come from when we are aware of ourselves? And my pet theory is that the distance comes from imagining how we look through others' eyes and developed from our highly advanced social reasoning.
This is fascinating! Stunning art and close to the color palette I had in my head for it. Knowing Bealrusian and having read the book years ago in Russian am tempted to give it a shot.
Last I looked it was more of a design company than an actual car manufacturer. They seem to have a prototype, but I have doubts it'll ever arrive. Hope to be wrong.

How long will it take to get one? Three years?
That’s the estimated price for delivery in 2025. Things could change by then.

Also, we’re talking about a new industry here because of which a lot of costs are also likely facing downwards pressure (so, for example, batteries are almost certainly cheaper today than they were 4-5 years ago).

Edit: This has caught me by surprise but EV battery prices seem to have started going up in constant dollars. It’s still lower than in 2019, so the nominal dollars are probably slightly lower than 2019, but I haven’t been following this for a few years and assumed battery prices were still going down in constant dollars.

> So the $40K CyberTruck is actually more like $57,000

$61k. Click on the tab that says "purchase price".
Oh wow. I missed that. That even feels illegal. FTC might come calling on that practice.

Edit: Other comments say they've been doing that for a while, even with the 3 series. So, I guess it's accepted? Urgh.
There's an estimate they have 1.9M reservations. Even at 1k deliveries a day, that will take another 5 years. I doubt they'll hit that delivery rate soon.
If it does, prosecution has a few tools at their disposal. They can seal the records, justified as protecting "ways and means", they can also just decide ahead of time not to bring charges until such time as there is a successful route through which to execute a parallel construction.

The biggest issue, in a sense, isn't that defense attorneys aren't able to challenge these devices use, but that prosecutors are not slamming law enforcement for unlawful use. They aren't incentivized to in any way except by meing a radical proponent for judicial as systemic integrity. Such a personality characteristiv is not going to endear one sufficiently to law enforcement enough to likely even be informed that a case may have had less-than-legal investigatory methods employed.

Literally the only realistic way to catch these types of abuses is to essentially assume they happen, and dedicate adversarial resources with relative-to-Law-Enforcement level privileged access to the means to investigate law enforcers.

I.e. Internal Affairs/an Inspector General like construct.

In practice, however, any system that implements such a thing still has levers that can be applied to sufficiently frustrate the efforts of said groups to render it of questionable efficacy.
Depends what you're doing.

It's relatively rare nowadays to see tech solopreneurs. (At least, for something more than a lifestyle business.)

Often you need someone with experience/connections/insight into the industry: medicine, construction, ecommerce, finance, logistics, whatever.
This is not accurate. In my city, we've rolled all that back.
I'd like add to this conversation this two other important facts:

1) you (or your partner) do need domain experience and expertise. If you want open a bakery, or even try to automate a bakery, you really need at least some commercial baking experience. I see so many folks pitching a product in an area where they have zero experience.

2) you (or your partner) do need some organizational and/or business management experience. Business-whether it is software, hardware, or selling bakegoods-is about working with people and working with money. Learn about it and do some of it before starting uour own company.

We used to develop software that used the Windows Accessibility APIs (UI Automation). On certain versions of Excel with some files it would crash the client application with a null pointer exception once you try to read the window name/class. It would be interesting to see the cause of the crash e.g. a core dump/user-mode dump/event viewer log.
>Plus this isn't some inherently critical issue, for most people it's at most a minor irritation twice per year. For some it's a minor enjoyable, "free sleep".

I want to push back on this a bit. It's not just the moment of change itself, it's how wall time compares to the sun.

And the problem with that is business hours being stuck to wall time. Essentially the government controls how business hours relate to the sun, instead of expecting each entity to change their business hours with the seasons (or not) as desired. This goes back to the time when business hours posted on a door were much more important.

If you are stuck in a "9-5" job or otherwise are committed to what the clock says, the time change significantly controls your interaction with the sun.

There is an old soviet joke that went something like: "optimists practice their english; pessimists practice their chinese; ...and realists practice reassembling their AK". It took on new meaning for me after I found plenty of YouTube footage of high-school clubs with timed disassembly/reassembly competitions.

(very competitive times too: I think the AK-47 is simpler than our rifles, but these kids —at least the ones who post online— are fast)

Obligatory propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuPX8mjeb-E (Гагарина sang this at the kick-off concert for the Ukraine* invasion; I thought both Цой and Павличенко would have been rolling in their graves had they been aware.)

* there's even a rumour that the movie's production provided cover for preparatory espionage in Crimea...

Edit: something I always found strange: unknown sources (who I presume to be .ru-linked) were providing plenty of memes to US militia types that (in between appeals to religion, family values, etc.) played up the resemblance between the old Novorossiya flag and the CSA battle flag. However, I saw no mention of military-patriotic clubs in this flow despite the fact that militia-adjacent politicians in the States seem to love photo ops with rifle-toting kids; one would think they would've been perfect propaganda...
OK but nobody takes "pulling infinite mass" as an engineering specification. That's clearly marketing talking, something all car co's do.

That's just the $250 deposit. Car dealers also require deposits when ordering a car, and it is common to put that on a credit card.

I would be surprised if Tesla allows placing the entire order by credit card.

There is definitely a lot wrong with the classical music scene in general (speaking as a classical pianist - in training). Most notably elitism/classism. I guess classical music also has lots of image problems and just has trouble finding its place in the world. Between the fact that in the last 200 years we've started to actually play and listen to older music (not to mention composing in older styles), the advent of sound recording and then the information age or whatever, it's understandable, really.

I myself just feel lucky that I can enjoy most of this "challenging" music without needing to care about the magnificently strict structure, or how the composer wanted to channel God or something. All I ask is that people not question my sanity on the grounds of my liking of this kind of music.
