In europe the connections are a lot lower amperage, around here for example 35 ampere per phase. But having 3 phases is pretty normal and the standard in any new house, which means 3 phases can let you charge at 22kW with a few Ampere left, while with 1 phase you can only charge at 7 KW.

That does make it useful to charge it in a few hours in the afternoon, instead of having to wiat the night.

There's a lot of truth to this, but I have seen clients get really interested in local models—mostly due to cost and/or confidentiality. For example, some healthcare clients will never upload medical records to OpenAI, regardless of the enterprise agreement.
It seems that most people that buy a Tesla are more interested in the status they bring vs. the build quality and reliability.

When I shopped around for an EV, I couldn’t find any compelling reason to get one over other models (e.g. Hyundai, BMW, Kia, Ford, etc.). The only two advantages I could find were a) simply the status of owning one, and b) the charging infrastructure. Build quality, features, and price were all better vs. Tesla.

Re: status, I think they’re currently still selling because at one point, you drew a ton of attention for owning one since there were so few on the road.

Nowadays, most anyone can afford one, and they still consider it a status symbol.

But as they become more commonplace and people start to see the build problems, and as EV production starts to ramp up and the gap in price between EVs and ICE vehicles narrows, I feel like Tesla will start to lose ground to the competition that has years of experience in making high quality and reliable vehicles, and the status of owning one will fade.

Re: infrastructure, this is already shifting considerably given the adoption of NACS, and even the Magic Dock being rolled out to allow CCS on Superchargers.
Nobody stole anything from them, they were still learning. They maybe even learned something they otherwise wouldn't in school. Maybe some kids got a break from their bullies. Some spent more time with other grown ups or some spent it more outside. PISA tests are really not a measure of any kind of success in life.
No, we accept road traffic accidents as fact and do not shut down entire road intersections due to deaths that occur. The same thing applies to child pornography, and 0.5ppm is certainly a tolerable amount in an extremely large dataset.

There are something like ~42000 traffic fatalities in the United States every year, we do not adopt draconian measures in dealing with it, even though loss of life and severe life-altering injuries occur. And such traffic accidents are absolutely devastating for the victims and their families.

Unless the dataset is particularly severely contaminated, the known illegal images should be removed and the rest of it should be allowed to stay up.

I mean there are times where I feel like I’m so familiar with the variables involved or so fixated on observing everything that I can make very good guesses about the sort of thing that might happen next - but that isn’t the same as knowing or getting time backwards or ‘remembering the future’ or something.

OpenAI is nothing like IBM in its heyday. I bet a very healthy proportion of companies will not share their data with OpenAI. I saw some numbers on this a while back I don't have the link handy. Trust has to be earned.
I am thinking of buildings where they got 100+ parking spots, and one can install a charging station for his/her/their car. THAT station needs some 'lock' (software or hardware). Otherwise what stops someone else to abuse my parking spot's 'e-pump', when I drive to work and the spot will be unoccupied for the next 10h?

So some hoop-jumping should also be required.
Oh right OLTP stuff in that case I’m a bit rusty there. Most everything I do is on the OLAP side.
You can fine-tune a small model yourself and see. GPT-4 is an amazing general model, but won’t perform the best at every task you throw at it, out of the box. I have a fine-tuned Mistral 7B model that outperforms GPT 4 on a specific type of structured data extraction. Maybe if I fine-tuned GPT-4 it could beat it, but that costs a lot of money for what I can now do locally for the cost of electricity.

Great, honest-sounding description of this college application grind, doing things he wasn't interested in, and suggesting that most of the other mathletes also weren't interested in math.

Now that he's 15 years into a tech career, I'm wondering what he thinks if/when interviewing applicants, and sees or doesn't see similar grind on the resume.

I imagine that some, if they got their position by virtue of the hoop-jumping grind, would think that the grind was positive signal for a candidate for that kind of position. But I don't know how common that belief is.

Reason I'm wondering... The last time I did a call with a FAANG recruiter (for Staff/Principal SWE), they did something new, running down a long list of checkboxes, and asking me for each one whether I had it or not. Most of it sounded like college application fodder, like people get coached to do in affluent prep schools, including multiple checkboxes about mathlete competitions. Not something that I would've thought would still matter for someone with a big industry track record. Was gathering this college app grind data for experienced candidates a new thing, or have recruiters and resume-scanning software been filling out these properties of each candidate for a long time?

Yes. So I’m assuming from your statement, you would agree that Tesla c/should be fine billions of dollars for fraud, just as VW was?

To be clear, I’m not saying Tesla is unique in this regard. I’m saying there are degrees ranging from “good faith engineering mistakes that are handled appropriately” and “fraud”. The Tesla memos and whistleblower claims seem to tilt it closer to the latter.

Show HN: I built a VR and AI microverse explorer
https://dynamoid.com/blog/10k-science-launch

It all started when I got an NSF grant back in 2010 and produced the award-winning app, Powers of Minus Ten (as seen in the original iPad 2 commercial "Alive" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYmXvOeoNk0). The idea actually came from the planetarium community, who wanted a way to explore real scientific datasets on the dome. Since at the time I was producing 3D dome shows about biology and using real structural datasets, I was like "I want to make this happen."

Long story short, it was a success (700,000+ downloads) but producing new content was a super manual process and it wasn't feasible for a small team to produce enough to make it work financially. So we switched to automating the data visualization pipelines, boostrapping through contracts.

Around 2015 when VR became a thing (again), we saw that there was an opportunity beyond a cool way to view our content - for the first time it became possible for non-3d experts to produce 3D content and we realized we could get scientists/researchers to directly import and visualize their data. We worked on the VR creator tools to make this a reality, worked with scientists to visualize their data, worked with our educational partners to adapt the content for educational contexts.

Several pilots and one NIH grant later, we're launching 10k Science on Meta Quest App Lab today. Just in the last couple months, we've done some really exciting work with OpenAI APIs to create audio tours with GPT-powered Q&A around the content (in my opinion, the real game changer here, I'm incredibly excited about it)

No. But it reads like I was. Apologies.
No, there's a tradeoff. If non-accessible software outcompetes and crowds out accessible software, that degrades the ability of people who need accessible software to use their computers. It is entirely reasonable for people who think that people with disabilities should have equal access to technology to advocate against the development of software without accessibility features.

Worth pointing out that this can depend a lot more on fiddly details than you might expect. In particular, you're dealing with a small fixed width allowing the hash to be stored in the table instead of the key. The article emphasizes variable-length keys, and I don't see any specialization on key sizes (if 4- and 8-byte keys aren't common then this makes sense; if they are then I'd expect dedicated table code for those sizes to be valuable). And set lookups are also just a bit different from value lookups. I think these cases are different enough that I have no idea if the results would carry over, although I can see how the bidirectional approach would reduce probing more than RH which seems good.

...and since I've done a lot of work with Robin Hood on small-key lookups, I can point out some little tweaks that have made a big difference for me. I have 8-byte lookups at just over 3ns/lookup[0], albeit at a very low load factor, typically <50%. A key step was to use the maximum possible hash as a sentinel value, handling it specially in case it shows up in the data. This way, instead of probing until finding an empty bucket or greater hash, probing just finds the first slot that's greater than or equal to the requested key's hash. So the lookup code[1] is very simple (the rest, not so much). The while loop is only needed on a hash collision, so at a low load factor a lookup is effectively branchless. However, these choices are specialized for a batched search where the number of insertions never has to be higher than the number of searches, and all the insertions can be done first. And focused on small-ish (under a million entries) tables.

I try guesstimating the "information density". Often you can tell from the title that a topic is so specific that the book shouldn't be as long as it is. Self help books selling you one revolutionary idea are an example. Other books (often general business advice types) will fill themselves with many examples, but there's little novelty with each next example. On the other hand, some topics, e.g. history, would have to present a lot of facts that you wouldn't have guessed otherwise (unless you've read something similar before), so I'm inclined toward these books.

Cheaper and faster is also better. The cheapest version of GPT-4 costs $0.01/$0.03 per 1K input/output tokens [1]. Mistral AI is charging 0.14€/0.42€ per ONE MILLION input/output tokens for their 7B model [2]. It's night and day.

If people can start fine-tuning a 7B model to do the same work they were doing with GPT-4, they will 100% switch.

Accessibility is only not a concern for internal custom tools if you're certain you're not going to hire anybody with a disability that requires those accessibility features. (You shouldn't be certain of this, because it means you're probably breaking the law.)
JSX is still a dependency with different variants which can cause issues. For example, SolidJS uses JSX but a different variant of JSX, which is a bit more slimmer (innerHTML instead of dangerouslySetInnerHTML).

I experimented with VanJS integrating into Astro. No plugin was needed & getting the SSR HTML is as simple as calling `.render()`.

I wrote a fork of VanJS called relementjs & took this concept further, using `.toString()` instead of render. Now SSR components can be rendered inside a template string.

Recall means “call back”.

What we want to say is “update” or “downgrade” or “restrict” or “Fuck Tesla!” depending on the intent.

You could say that you can recall a feature if you disable it in a software update. Even though the software doesn’t actually get returned, but just gets deleted, it’s a metaphorical recall. You are not recalling the car itself, because it doesn’t go anywhere.

I’m not sure defendingg this word use is any more weird than to die on the opposing hill of insisting updating a car’s software is a recall of the car.
For routine home charging, you don't want to require a credit card transaction.

Normally, in a game there is a completely separate not-awful-looking GUI system for the player, pushing Dear ImGui towards the opposite niches: simple in order to be easy and efficient to write rather than complex in order to be general and flexible, evolution through changing (mostly adding) widgets and assimilating more data rather than through improved appearance and behaviour of a relatively simple and stable GUI, "just working" and low churn rather than configurable, cheap rather than accessible, and so on.
There is no mandated billing method, but the ability to pay without registering an account is mandated. Additionally every charger has a unique id with a QR code.

Usually you either just plug it in (first party charger) or just scan the QR code with your favorite charging app which will handles the billing (third party charger).
> I think the adage about "a solution needs to be 10x other solutions to make someone switch" applies here.

It's already superior to OpenAI because it doesn't require an API. You can run the model on your own hardware, in your own datacenter, and your data is guaranteed to remain confidential. Creating a one-off fine-tune is a different story than permanently joining your company at the hip to OpenAI.

I know in our bubble, in the era of Cloud, it's easy to send confidential company data to some random API on the Internet and not worry about it, but that's absolutely not the case for anyone in Healthcare, Government, or even normal companies that are security conscious. For them, OpenAI was never a valid consideration in the first place.
Good Testing/Automation is never free lunch AFAIK but Dear ImGui has a testing/automation system: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui_test_engine
It's the python litmus test, basically. I think a large number of people (including me) can live with it (and maybe even appreciate the vertical space improvements) while a different but still large number of people (like you) can't stand it (and perhaps find it to be an intolerable source of programming errors.)
Installing random apps sounds janky as hell. I only install vetted apps from F droid. I wouldn't give a charging station access to my phone.
