Better charging is the only one of those three where I think you could argue Tesla has the advantage.

Engineering seems like is becoming more problematic with time, and experience is mostly subjective, but also feels like is losing ground.

Charging is definitely better with Teslas for now, but the tide is starting to turn a bit here as well, on both sides: Superchargers are becoming compatible with CCS with the introduction of the Magic Dock, plus non-Tesla manufacturers are starting to use NACS.
I'm sorry, but even if I concede the notion that this piece promotes "intellectual curiosity" in some amount (how much?), this news source is highly biased and has been found to spread fake news especially on the events since October 7th including current war in Gaza.

There is real harm in spreading this information. As you may or may not know, mobs and individuals around the world are fed such false narratives that demonize Israelis/Jews. Combine this with either mental illness or religious fundamentalism and you get the kinds of lynching, hateful speech, violence threats, etc. against Israelis/Jews and sympathizers.

Is whatever "intellectual curiosity" you think you're promoting with this piece worth the health and lives of innocent people?
No, I don't think that is a reasonable take at all.

1. This is warfare, not civil law. Hamas, which is the sovereign in Gaza (there has been no Israeli military presence there for years), commited an act of war in which hundreds were killed, raped, and kidnapped. Israel, as a state, has the moral duty to fight back and make sure this never happens again. Otherwise, it breaks the most basic contract between citizen and state ("I give up on violence and in turn you protect me from violence").

2. The aggressors (both in the field and leadership) are still largely out there, and holding kidnapped civilians and soldiers. They don't get a pass just because the "aggression is over" (whatever that means, rockets are still being fired indiscriminately at Israeli cities and towns, which is a war crime by the way...)

3. The responsibility for the safety of the Gazan civilians is that of Hamas since, again, they are the sovereign in Gaza. We shouldn't absolve them of responsibility for picking a fight with a better armed opponent. The defense does not have to be proportionate since that would mean Israel cannot use it's Tanks, warplanes, etc. To imply that Israel should fight with it's hands tied behind its back is ridiculous since war is not fair. There are some international laws intended to reduce the suffering of those that are uninvolved. For example, what does have to be proportionate is the harm caused to civilians when attacking a military target on a case by case basis, to the best of your knowledge (note that, according to international law, the target can in fact be a hospital/school/etc if it's used for military purposes).

Finally, an honest question, what would you do? How would you respond in this situation?
Yeah but with which 110V socket, from where? If you don't live at your own house and live at a rental apartment complex then you have no charging point at your parking space either way, be it 800V or 110V, until the building management or the city council decides to invest in EV charging infrastructure where you live and park your car.

What are you gonna do then, implement those Slav-Engineering™ solutions you see in Eastern Europe where EV owners run household AC extension outlets from their balcony window to their car parked in front of the commie-block? I mean, it works, but it's not legal to code everywhere and would get you in trouble in the more rigorous countries.

EVs are currently best suited to those who live in their own homes and can install their own chargers, or have chargers at work. Those without chargers at home are left holding the bags in the switch to EVs, hence why adoption is so slow.

I still use whatever they call the service where my ripped CDs get uploaded to my Apple Music library. I have quite a few albums physically that their library lacks and it's been nice to be able to listen to them in my car.

Over the last 3 to 4 years though more and more of my music living in the cloud has gotten corrupted, to the point that something like 1 in 10 songs is unlistenable. The source material in my main library still plays fine, nothing wrong with it, but play it on any other device it pops and skips.

Doing some googling, I don't seem to be alone in this. It's honestly infuriating and has me potentially searching for some other service.

We fight all sorts of natural processes. Most common forms of death from a couple of centuries ago are solved. Our average lifespan has increased dramatically. We fly around in planes, travel to space, grow fruit out of season and build giant cities.

I don’t understand the push to convert to residential. Absent proximity to jobs, who’s clamoring to live downtown in just about any city?

Maybe downtown SF is still “cool” (for whatever value and age group you want to assign that to) and I just don’t know the Bay Area as well as my own city.
I'm sure Ford is looking at total numbers, not percentages. They have invested significant resources in their EV division and the ICE division is apt for comparison.

They at least have made a strong argument for their case [1]. I don't read this as taking Hamas claims as valid by default because they backed it up with reasoning from their sources. Are they correct? Hard to say for sure, but there's more evidence for it than just "Hamas said this so we believe it."

> People would argue that it's up to the seller whether they want to make their creations available. If I don't want to sell you something, then I'd entertain the argument that downloading it anyway is in some sense immoral or unethical.

I would say another key distinction is between "don't want to sell/can't sell" vs "don't want you to buy". In the former it may be because the owner does not want to go through the trouble of selling it or is no longer around to sell it.
I know some people have given up because the effort to deal with "trolls" (particularly DMCA and fakes) has either turned their passion into a nightmare or it's not really their passion anymore and they don't want to deal with it.

Operating out of Israel would be an international relations nightmare for both the US and Israel. We’d not do it if we had any other options (and we’ve always had several, for relevant values of “always”)

We give them aid to prevent another attempt at conquest by neighbors. The other prong of that fork is that we also pay Egypt (check out the list of top US aid recipients over the last few decades) to keep them out of any war-coalition of Israel’s neighbors, significantly reducing any such move’s likelihood of success.

Why we do that, I’m not sure. I’ve not dug enough into the situation to have a solid answer. Anyone can think of some, but I’m not sure what the actual reasons are. I don’t think it’s anything like “to buy a base in the Levant” though.
That should be the norm for all news. Always remain skeptical, of all sides.
> what should be done about the guy holding a loaded gun at his hostage's head while covering himself in babys?

It's a difficult situation, but I doubt the answer would be to shoot the guy and two babies, which is analogous to Israel's response, if you believe their claim that 1/3 of the people they've killed were Hamas.
Tim Ferris' idea about filter of consequences is interesting. Except for the fact that that information has likely passed through filters of propaganda and almost certainly passed through filters of ignorance, stupidity, and bias.

I think the standards of academic citation are higher than you are imagining. I also don't think a lot of these are that bad for casual writing, but if you compare them directly to what Harvard considers plagiarism, many of them seem to fall under the plagiarism side.

Other wars are discussed. There have been threads on Russia vs. Ukraine in recent months.

Perhaps Israel look bad in the press because they are acting badly. It seems to me that Israel are unambiguously the stronger power in this conflict: they have are much stronger military, and additionally have the backing of the US and a bunch of other nations that would step in were Israeli territory under threat. And they are using that power to aggressively attack the weaker power in the conflict with little regard for civilian casualties (“collateral damage”) or proportionality of response.
Hitchens was brilliant but also seemingly rather unselfconscious of how his atheistic zealotry mirrored the religious dogmatism that he constantly railed against.

I've been in contact with Palestinians, you may be aware of millions of them living abroad (same as Israelis, like myself) and millions more living in the west bank (the total Palestinian population world-wide numbers 14.3 million, Gaza only houses 2.3M). You don't have to be on ground zero in Gaza to be a Palestinian.

Hm. That sounds like that might actually be classifiable as "blackmail," doesn't it? Certainly an effort at intimidation. What's the "Hate Speech" laws got to say about that?
Not sure what that has to do with it. The current conflict between Palsetinians and Israel roots back to the foubdation of Israel as a state after WW2. Which I get, jews came pretty close to extinction, and arguably not a lot of people actually cared about that. Hence the need for a state of their own.

80 years and a bunch of wars, insurgencies, counter-insurgencies, terror and air campaigns later, interseded with a handful of peace initiatives, the situation is truely FUBAR. I am not convinced so that leveling Gaza actually does a lot to solve that problem.
> Qualcomm actively botches the security of their products as per request of many governments.

Why is it that in the US individuals have to band together and privately launch a class action to stop these types of parasitic behaviours. The government is supposed to represent the interests of citizens.
I think your concerns are unfounded. TSA doesn't generally sift through every bit of paper in your possession, nor do they really care what's written on any of the paper you're carrying since it's unlikely to be a threat.

> it's a shame that tech-weak showmen like Musk and Altman suck up so much discursive oxygen

Just for a point of reference the BYD electric pickup with a smallish 85kWh battery pack and few features has a MRSP of about $32,000 US. There is zero chance it would qualify for the federal tax credit however, even if it were available in the US. Still, many vehicles are getting their tax credit cut in half next year due to stricter domestic sourcing rules.

I think domestic automakers underestimate the number of buyers who's first, second, and third priority is low price. They have all forgotten their origin as the company that sold the lowest price most mass market vehicle to people who couldn't previously afford them.
Without proper parking sensors buying a €45k car (model Y) nowadays is a risky gamble. Closer to the dense cities parking by intuition can be dangerous - even simple white bumper repair goes for 500-700€ in not so reputable repair shop. Vision only failed badly and no solution in sight.

And now with all the stamped parts the insurers are going crazy. The cars after easy crash are basically thrash. Proper identification of damaged parts is very expensive and proper repair not worth it at the end anymore.
> I am not aware that the aiframe is the main reason why planes are taken out of service

This is true--- these days. We've been tending to replace planes before the airframe life limits are met.

Well, on the other hand, this is mostly true because airframe life limits and expensive inspection programs that we established after horrific accidents.

And things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243 (1988).

> Will be interesting to look at fatigue of the control surfaces though, if they get used many times more per flight to adjust for minor turbulences.

Control surfaces are on bearings and have, in general, a lot of excess strength to minimize internal deflection. Even if there were a trade in wearing out control surfaces faster, they are a more easily inspected and replaced part of the airplane.
I'll be a bit more pessimistic than others here. Netanyahu knows that elections won't go favorably for him, but he's very smart and has survived this long - and he's still in charge; he'll be putting a lot of effort towards fending off early elections, certainly until he can show some win for Israel here (not that I think it's possible at this point).

We're also in a situation where he knows that dragging out the war might be the best strategy for him personally, which worries me greatly.

That’s an interesting parallel, Gazan’s response is also borne of a history of oppression. Living with food insecurity, being an intergenerational refugee unable to return to home a few miles away, watching family members harmed, etc seems to motivate a lot of Palestinian behavior.

Agreed that many technical founders build on the pain points they've experienced themselves. I'm curious your take on why the managed services approach is hard to scale?

> Our work pays because someone values it, that is tautological.

You say that as if it helps your point?

I'm talking about "bullshit jobs" as in those described in the book 'Bullshit Jobs' by Graeber. Think Wally from Dilbert; sinecures without the dignity. Here:

> Bullshit Jobs: A Theory is a 2018 book by anthropologist David Graeber that postulates the existence of meaningless jobs and analyzes their societal harm. He contends that over half of societal work is pointless and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth. Graeber describes five types of meaningless jobs, in which workers pretend their role is not as pointless or harmful as they know it to be: flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters. He argues that the association of labor with virtuous suffering is recent in human history and proposes unions and universal basic income as a potential solution.
Some of these solutions may not work as well in "big government" cities - they layer on so many non-core requirements the underlying product can become somewhat expensive or challenging. I had to deal with government tech support on something 10 years ago and you'd NEVER want to experience something like that - an entire office (being paid for by the government) would be offline for one silly reason or another. It was always like for x, y and z reasons only Q can do that needful thing, and Q is on a protected leave of some sort.... and cost and disruption was irrelevant. Then put in compliance with McBride Principles for Northern Ireland, required virgin redwood purchasing evaluations, sweatshop evaluations, travel restrictions, purchasing restrictions, first source hiring, purchasing procedures that were both highly complex and product quality / price only a small part of eval and extend this list 20x - all worthy things of course, but tough to get stuff done at times.

This works if the document plus prompt fit in the context window. I suspect the most popular task for this workflow is summary which presumably means large documents. That's when you begin scaling out to a vector store and implementing those more advanced workflows. It does work even by sending a large document on certain local models, but even with the highest tier MacBook Pro a large document can quickly choke up any LLM and bring inference speed to a crawl. Meaning, a powerful client is still required no matter what. Even if you generate embeddings in "real-time" and dump to a vector store that process would be slow in most consumers hardware.

If you're passing in smaller documents then it works pretty good for real-time feedback.
