I‘ve had a fully electric Ioniq for almost 4 years, the most efficient car at the time. I‘d rather people buy a used compact, efficient diesel than bring such a monster into circulation. The waste of materials and power (40kWh/100km at 120km/h reportedly) is ridiculous.
This professional statement is sure to attract advertisers like flies… Musk is unhinged because advertisers leaving en masse will finally break X.
Depends on the new safety tech; it often comes into the luxury brands and works it's way down. 6 years could be long enough for something significant to be in the Yaris.
Hmm, on the contrary, I've encountered a bunch of really nice (and not just nice, but generally awesome) people who were very mediocre at the core of their jobs. Usually these are not in technical, software dev roles, but in areas like product management and marketing.

And I don't think this is just my bias, but as much as people love to crap on leetcode-style engineering interviews, they do ensure an objective bar of programming ability: I have never seen someone do great at programming problem interviews who then struggled to program on the job (but they certainly may have had other issues). But the interviews I've sat in on for roles like product management and marketing had less of an objective bar, so it was generally easier for someone with a great personality to get hired in those roles.
Religion was never a problem. The same people who 'seized control of religion because they believed they knew how to manage other peoples lives better' are now doing it in the new power structure. sort of. They always used the universities. religion also gets a lot of the blame from the vomit coming from universities.

Its the same people doing the same shit.
Why did you drop the second sentence on that topic?

"Employee demographics are “diverse,” sort of—I would guess, based on a visual survey of the cafeteria at lunchtime, that about a third of the staff is South Asian, a third is East Asian, and a third is white. The workers are overwhelmingly male."

"Overwhelmingly male" is an obvious counterpoint the author is making to the ethnicity distribution and by itself explains the quotation marks.

Everyone is free to read in additional subtext but your question can be answered solely by not dropping the second sentence of the author's.
Never mind, misread the comment. I somehow assumed that the driver safety has decreased because of the increasing number of vehicles on roads.
100% agree with this. Personally I've been using SourceTree since before it was acquired by Atlassian. It's such a powerful tool because it instantly gives you a level of situational awareness that would take several commands to get from the command line.

I usually still make commits from the command line, but then review them in SourceTree before pushing. I also find it to be a much more straightforward interface for doing an interactive rebase.

Looking for a replacement has been on my to-do list for a while however, as Atlassian has kinda been letting it lagnuish.

This was one of the top posts on reddit yesterday, not as much as turbo though.
Not strange. Chinese government control all the industries through party delegates that injects in the companies that become relevant, and plans strategically their movements as the state needs, so TSMC has little chance with the sues?

Other different thing is that thankfully for us, most of those political delegates kills part of the initiative of those companies due corruption.
It is of course incredibly simple, but it is even more simple to claim that buying "Teslas" helps to fight climate change.

That solution simply doesn't scale and is a convenient "feel good" excuse for Tesla to sell more cars and individual that can splurge in a 5000 pounds vehicle full of toxic particles requiring a ton of grey energy to produce.

Is it marginally better than buying an ICE car? Maybe (Some studies show that keeping your old car a couple more years is actually more efficient).

But the real solution is to start reducing the size of those vehicles to something like a one-person car, not buying a "lifestyle truck"

Edit: I have no issue with people buying what they want. I have an issue with people splurging on superfluous items and ALSO claiming they help fighting climate change.
This speaks to the idea that a lot of Japanese culture, especially business culture, is performative.
>> So, uh, 75% more bandwidth but 200% more cores is a net reduction in available bandwidth per core.

My guess is that most cloud customers use fairly little compute and low average bandwidth. But everyone wants "dedicated" cores so this makes a ton of sense and Amazon is raking in billions due to stupidity. Remember the recent story how a couple clicks cut the company cloud bill by a shit-ton. That's probably the norm.

> The solution to this incremental scope problem is a lot less clear to me and something I struggle with personally in scientific computing projects. When variety #2 pops up, how does one decide whether to restructure everything in case of a variety #3, or take the quicker (potentially more efficient) path and avoid unnecessary complexity?

Short-answer rule-of-three (but really it depends).

I get what you mean, but this is more about implementation choices than identification of variety. Varieties can be grouped different ways that makes sense for implementation challenges or development timelines and later refactored to be more effective. The identification of the varieties themselves is distinct from the choice of grouping/implementation. Things that have little effect on behaviors (eg. color only affects one aspect of rendering) can be a property of a thing. More complex/varied characteristics may be better served by separating into distinct things.

Sometimes a 'bag of properties' can serve for all things (similar to JS Object). That's how I believe reddit's data model evolved at one time. I think HN isn't much different as it seems that id's of posts, comments, etc share numbering.
You'd think the CPU vendor knows their CPU best. If there's a faster "software" implementation, why doesn't REP MOVS at least do the same thing in microcode?

That's an odd question. Obviously I'd rather live in the more peaceful side, but that has nothing to do with anything. If you had to chose between living in nazi occupied Paris and Stalingrad, which one would you chose? Does that mean that the Russians made a bad choice resisting the invaders?

For some people, living comfortably isn't the most important thing they can have. Not getting conquered, invaded, or literally colonized is a good thing. Don't you agree?

If Israel wants peace, it shouldn't push for massive colonization efforts and shouldn't use its army to back any colonist living in the Westbank when an armed group finally decides to lay down arms.

If psychopathy is the only way for a group to prevent its own annihilation (whether it happens now or slowly), you will almost always get psychopathic behavior. That's true for everyone, hell in fact even Israel has that embedded in it's very own defense strategy with the Samson option. Which makes the Israeli side even less credible
I was flashed. Totally. Blown away. But in the middle I lost my interest. Not very accessible
People have political power ultimately because they have military and economic power. That would potentially change if politicians have artificial people under their control that can patrol the streets and enforce any law they want and man the factories.

Pretty sure the hybrid f-150 rings in near the same price point.
> Imagine a world where tiny runways that only service EVs are integrated into the city and you can hop between them as easily as catching a bus.

I mean, that sounds like a massive shift in infrastructure and city planning. I am not sure how efficient and affordable this would need to be to achieve that level of integration into daily society. Currently nothing, in the US at least, is setup to function this way. Whereas rail and roads are already deployed.

And again, this ignores any of the issues brought on by scale. If this is the way we want people traveling at a 10x or 100x rate, the airspace is going to be busier and likely will need some sort of coordination, whether ATC or some other mechanism.
I never met a Brazilian who went to Japan and didn’t spontaneously say that things there are so different. I don’t think it’s solely propaganda (if any at all).

Are you claiming the Cybertruck doesn’t have a crumple zone? That doesn’t make a lot sense. The entire front hood area is hollow, there isn’t even an engine there.

Just because Elon used a bunch of puffery to play up the exoskeleton doesn’t mean it acts like a boulder when it hits another vehicle.

Crumple zones aren’t even relevant to pedestrian crashes.
> If you squint, the `(T, error)` return type is very similar to Rust's `Result`

This requires the kind of squinting where 9 x 9 = 81 is basically the same as 9 + 9 = 18 right? I mean, they're roughly the same symbols, albeit one at slightly different angle, and in a different order...

Result is a sum type, as are a lot of key things in Rust. Take the Rust type Result<bool,()> - this has three possible values, Ok(true), Ok(false), Err. The analogous Go product type has four possible values, (false,false) (false, true), (true, false) and (true, true).
> extremely mechanical 4Runner

Same sentiment for my washer/dryer. Bought an older (used) set for $300, They have lasted 7 years so far, which is in addition to however long they were in use before: I would guess at least 7 more.

Seems like lots of people lament how things like cars, refrigerators, washers, etc. are becoming less mechanical and more electronic. Maybe there's a market for "bespoke" mechanical items.
Isn't SnappyMail a fork of Roundcube?

Even as someone who hasn't compiled a kernel in a loooong time (10-12 years?) this is a weird position to me.

AFAIK Loongson's ISA is some sort of superset of MIPS64. Not exactly ubiquitous but MIPS64 has been around for a while so I would expect bootstrapping to be fairly simple.

Of course, bootstrapping is not the same as, say, using the parts of the superset that help with x86 emulation to speed things up, but even QEMU has supported LoongArch since 7.1 (over a year ago.)
Analyze the business processes by roles, and frame it as a cybersecurity review. How many of your microservices are either switching behavior on caller role (unmaintainable) or overloading roles (security antipattern)? The dirty little secret is that most microservices, like most subclassed information types, only concern one role. The rest is the proper granularity of role-specific services.

(The other dirty little secret is that the temptation to overload roles (and information types) comes from "the database".)
Hiding stuff is probably the main reason why I think the git CLI interface is not so good: it's much, much harder to learn what's going on without a good view of the commit graph, and while you can extract that from the CLI it's not something that is obvious to beginners, and it's tedious for more experienced use.

Also, the mouse will generally beat the keyboard for selection tasks, which is a decent amount of git usage. Splitting up changes in your working directory into multiple commits is substantially faster with a GUI, as well as a lot of commit graph manipulation options.
thank you for your thoughtful reply. I find "oil-as-a-resource" to be a uniquely-awful analogy for the impacts of the printing press on civilization. We probably have many unspoken assumptions about the question that also differ.

Some people say that pulling "principle cause" from chapters of history is very difficult from a Science point of view, since the entire experiment has so many parts, and cannot be replicated. So it is here. best to all from California

Here on HN I read about the theory, that one of the main reasons that the time of the steam engines came, was the rise of the cannon.
Over generations, every king wanted to have the best cannons as that translated into power - and once you can build a cannon, you can build something that can contain high pressures and give that pressure a direction. In other words, to take that toy further, they would have also had to greatly improve their metallurgy first. Otherwise a smart greek inventor would have just created spectacular (and dangerous) booms, but nothing that could reliable do more work, than a ordinary slave.

I agree with you there. My impression was that the cinematic format is closed, unlike .r3d which is a bunch of open format files in a .zip. Do you know whether Apple has published the specs for the cinematic video format anywhere, or if there are there good libraries for handling it?

He's no longer secretary of labor. He's a former secretary of labor discussing something he had to first-hand experience, as opposed to seeing it from the disconnected pulpit.

I’ll bet a lot of people are surprised to learn BMW is one of the most reliable manufacturers in the business.
Perceptions of brand reliability at that.

I would hazard a guess that Toyota and Lexus have very similar real-world reliability - most of them share platforms. However this article shows that Lexus owners perceive their cars to be more reliable than Toyota owners.

Somehow Mini is near the top of the list too

3D ultrasound has been a thing for quite a while.

The problem is that ultrasound just isn't very good for general imaging. The physics of ultrasound means that you must have direct skin contact with a gel mediator to couple the ultrasound into your skin. The signal cannot pass through open air.

Any type of ultrasound imaging would require removing your clothes, having the technician's hands on you, and you get covered in goop.

Compared to other imaging technologies, there's no contest. For x-ray, you simply stand in front of the plate, or put your body part on top of it. No disrobing, no goo, no one even has to touch you. With CT and MRI, you just put the body part (or whole body) in the scanner. Clothes and all.

Ultrasound has it's place, but it really is an inferior technology.
Wait, what? Want to read that again and take another stab. Someone having the "right" to control my life seems like a pretty big stomping all over my rights.
Optimistic about ultrasound for sleep and aging applications, the waste clearance processes are just being understood. Turning brain areas off has also been shown to help different types of performance.
Doesn't sound like the guy Will Rogers made that decision though. It sounds like he just blindly trusted his instruments, knowing he could act with impunity. He was right - after all is said and done he killed 290 innocent people and he ended up getting something called the "Legion of Merit" so it doesn't sound like it bothered too many people there.
VTV (to name the biggest one) has been consistently either tracking below or severely underperforming the S&P. If there is value to be found, that's not there.
The polarization of modern politics, especially within academic humanities, casts all who disagree with one side into an undifferentiated collective on the other side, ripe to be held accountable for the worst acts of the enemy. The sin of the skeptic is not in what they say but their willingness to say it, and for that they now get labeled “reactionary” or the like.
FWIW, the computers don’t tend to break. The things that do break are essentially the same as they were 20 years ago. The bells and whistles are mostly for creatures comfort. The mechanical components haven’t changed much.

> If it's wildly irregular to have 2 people independently doing port/starboard thrust control, the process should be like "Transfer Thrust Control", followed by a modal with a giant "BOTH SIDES" button and two tiny "Port only" "Stbd Only" buttons.

A contributing factor in the crash of Air France Flight 447 was that Airbus aircraft average the inputs of the two pilots side-stick flight controls (as oppose to Boeing, which connects the two yokes so you can't move one without moving the other). At various points leading up to the crash one pilot understood the situation and was applying the correct input to resolve the issue, but the other pilot was doing the opposite and canceled out the correct input. While there was an audible warning about the conflicting inputs, it was easily lost in the chaos of the moment.
Maybe they won't break down, but they have ~none of the modern safety features to keep them, uh, safe.
Meanwhile in reality:

"So you got a radar track squaking civillian"

"Yup"

"And it never made any search or track radar emissions"

"Yup"

"And it was climbing out of the area, and despite all your instruments showing it continuing to climb, you all asserted it was diving for an attack run"

"Right"

"And instead of trying to further deconflict, or ask any of the other local navy vessels their interpretation, or just take a risk and accept that as a member of the military sometimes your job is to stand up in the line of fire, you decided that this was definitely an F-14 interceptor, being used to attack an AEGIS vessel whose intended design is to protect an american aircraft carrier from 20 simultaneous incoming Soviet antiship missiles, and was definitely a threat to said vessel"

"Yup"

"And now 290 innocent people are dead"

The captain of the Vincennes also claims they were in "hot pursuit" of a small Iranian gunboat in "self defense" at the time, and was noted by superiors as regularly going beyond his Rules of Engagement in training activities. He had a chip on his shoulder and clearly made up his mind about what he was going to do to that plane well before he had any indication it was a threat. A nearby vessel that was datalinked (ie, was hooked into the same battlefield map and signals) very quickly and clearly concluded it was a civilian flight. Capt Rogers convinced himself otherwise.

Good point about program traces.

Another area I wish Copilot understood: where my cursor will go next. Right now it can only feed me new lines, but I bet the underlying LLM is already powerful enough that with little fine-tuning, it could guess that after I edit a call to foobar() to add an argument the next thing I'll do is probably edit the definition of foobar.

It feels like there's a trove of UX improvements in there; we've barely scratched the surface.

Speaking is so slow compared to finding a button by feeling or through muscle memory. Maybe I just have to try it, but I predict that having to talk to my car to get it to do things would make me feel pretty dumb.

> Most functions were only 1 or 2 clicks deep in the menu

What functions were those? Media controls and such I can accept, but that's 1 or 2 clicks too deep for anything related to driving.
> "First and foremost, the transmission replaces the rather staggering pile of complexity of a modern automatic transmission, typically, with "a few motor/generators, some planetary gears, maybe a band that only engages when a motor is already stopped, and some power electronics." Compared to the 9+ speed automatics, this is dramatically simpler. Quite a few hybrids don't even have a mechanical reverse gear, it's just using the electronics for that brief period."

There are very few PHEVs that aren't using the same automatic gearbox as the plain-ole ICE model. You are describing the architecture the Prius uses I guess? In almost all cases the manufacturer just wraps a small electric motor around the output shaft of the same automatic gearbox connected to a small battery.

Mazda PHEVs - same auto gearboxes

BMW PHEVs - same auto gearboxes

Volvo PHEVs - same auto gearboxes

Mercedes PHEVs - same auto gearboxes

etc

There are probably some other exceptions i'm missing, but few PHEVs have a custom gearbox. While they may be just as reliable in many cases, they are almost always more complex designs than their ICE variants.
Regardless, but these advertisers are starting(or already?) to act as a political party and try to use that in a political manner, twitter been and will always be a space for controversial political opinions, and as long as the platform doesn’t promote something illegal like drug dealing and such, it shouldn’t be a problem, in fact, other social media like instagram already have a big problem of illegal activities like drug dealing or human/minor trafficking and I don’t see advertisers have any problem with that..
This is my thinking as well. we are currently patting people on the back for helping with climate change when they buy a new 5000 pound electrical vehicle.
