Maybe relevant, from Conversations with Tyler (Ep. 184, with David Bentley Hart):

COWEN: Let’s say Poland, Slovenia, Czechia, which have a lot of Catholicism in their backgrounds — they seem to be converging on Western norms, living standards much more than, say, the EU members to the East: Bulgaria, Romania.

HART: Well, they had certain advantages to begin with, too, but better relations. Again, I don’t think it has any particular... To be honest, Polish Catholicism is basically culturally very much like Slavic Orthodoxy. There, you’re going to find that culturally, Catholicism and Orthodoxy are closer to one another in many ways than Catholicism in the East is with Catholicism in the West.

Trying to draw causal ties between what are very complex social histories, I just think is a mistake. There’s no way of saying one way or the other. Greek democracy flourished in the modern age for a while after Greek independence in the early 19th century, and Greece remains Orthodox, too. Even more than Poland, it is committed to a set of real democratic norms. In Poland, there are stronger reactionary forces at present than there are in Greece.

and also from Ep. 192, with Jacob Mikanowski:

MIKANOWSKI: [...] I think that idea of an Orthodox disease is maybe a figment of geography more than a deeply cultural matrix that we think. I’m not — I think we could be optimistic about Croatia and Romania simultaneously. Bulgaria maybe too. I’m not sure that I believe in a kind of Orthodox curse. I think it has more to do with how things shook up internally in former Yugoslavia and where those countries are in relationship to that industrial core of Germany, Austria, Switzerland.

I think this is explained by the fact that most business logic is dry, and most abstractions are interesting (until you get bored of them). So you wrap your actual code in fun code to make the job bearable.

The numbers included seem to contradict the story. They are alleging that the suspension is defective, but the numbers included don't seem to back it up. They show that the cost of repairs under warranty for suspension components is $3.9 million per year. This actually seems quite low for a company with millions of cars on the road. There is also this:

> In other cases, the automaker charged customers with out-of-warranty cars to replace parts that Tesla engineers internally called flawed or that they knew had high failure rates. Engineers ordered repeated redesigns for several parts and discussed seeking money back from suppliers because of the defects.

Do car companies ever not charge customers for repairs that are out-of-warranty? And I don't find the fact that the engineers called these parts flawed very significant. Everybody knows that certain makes and models tend to have trouble with their <car part>. I am not surprised that the engineers who made the car can figure these things out too.

The anecdotal evidence of the single case of the wheel falling off I don't find particularly damning. First of all the analysis by the engineer does not rule out collision, like the article implies. The direct quote from the engineer is "No convincing evidence to prove a direct impact is the cause of the fracture." This is an indeterminate result. Assuming that this was in fact a defect, when you have a N of millions of cars, you are going to be able to find some catastrophic defects. It's inevitable, and it's the reason why anecdotal evidence is weak.

I have a very high bar for accusations, and an even higher bar for accusations against Tesla given the high volume of them, and the low percentage of them actually going anywhere. And I remain unconvinced by this article.
If you pair two top performers, they get slowed down by 10-20% because they each have their own way of approaching the work, and there's usually conflict as they are each convinced of their own way. They work even faster, however, if you put them next to each other, but working separately. They watch each other and start tacitly competing. You'll get another 10% out of them generally.

As for pairing the two lowest producers, they'll sink even more as they are confused by what the other person is doing and it slows them down.

Changing someone's level of productivity is essentially untrainable in my experience. It's not a training issue. The people at the bottom know how to do the work, but any attempt to show them a more efficient way of doing it is overwhelming and confusing to them, and they shut down.
- They like something you don't
- They like it because others do
- It's thus not worth considering more deeply why they like it

Did I map that unfairly?
> it's one of the first games that is using ECS and that I also have a deep interest into

FWIW, I did read to the end of the line, but I parsed that as two separate assertions (with “and that” being a means to introduce the second assertion):

1) it is one of the first games using ECS

2) that you also have an interest in it

Rather than the intersection of:

1) the set of games using ECS

2) the set of games that you have an interest in

Or, expressed another way, it’s this (how I read it):

(it's one of the first games that is using ECS) and that (I also have a deep interest into)

Vs

it's one of the first games that: (is using ECS) and that (I also have a deep interest into)

I suppose I would have written this:

It’s one of the first games using ECS which I have also had an interest in.

I’m fairly certain I’ve almost always seen something like “[of] which” to introduce another qualifier, whereas “and” almost always introduces a new statement that stands on its own (the exception being in more formal contexts where there’s a sentence structured along the lines of “consider such [insert class of objects here] which are both: [this] and [that]”).

I think it’s the “and that” which threw me (and others here who misread you) off.
I once worked on a project that would not even compile if a function had a param without a comment explaining the purpose of that param written with a specific format. Every comment was validated on compile time, you couldn't even comment code just to test something. Life was hell.

Show HN: Containerlab.app – drag'n'drop Docker IDE for easy container dev
My buddy and I have been in software for a while and we’ve seen how tedious it can get to spin up multi-container projects. Whether it’s a pre-packaged open source app like n8n or AppSmith, or if it’s a more complex self-hosted project that needs a DB, a VPN, and a reverse proxy - it’s always a mission to get it spun up. You can end up spending days looking up documentation, drafting compose files, tweaking little properties here and there, and then not even get to a fully functional setup.

We wanted to build a platform that lets you literally drag and drop preset containers into a project, and then just have it work. No fuss, no documentation lookup, just quick and easy container dev. And then we’re also building in some extra goodies like one-click deployments, exporting to a compose file, and a community platform for sharing projects.

If this sounds interesting to you, head over to our website at https://containerlab.app . We’re accepting emails in preparation for our closed beta which we’re planning on having up and running early next year.

We’re keen to hear feedback on the platform, so leave a comment!
It sounds like you might mean something different by emergency brake than I think most non-Tesla drivers expect. I've always called the lever/pedal with a direct mechanical link to the brakes the emergency brake. Is this a thing on Teslas?
Notes on Ghana's Modern History
One way to make an electric car go efficiently fast and far is to make it light. Extreme effort is taken on Teslas to reduce weight, and part of that will involve making suspension and steering components only as strong as they need to be, but no stronger.

That strength is enough for most people - but there will always be some who hit a pothole at speed, slam into a kerb, jack the car up on the wrong point, or otherwise exert forces beyond the design limits.

Other cars would survive that because they are overengineered. Tesla's may not.

It's a tradeoff you make when you buy the vehicle - you get a faster and more efficient car, but have to be aware that it is more fragile. If you wanted something robust, you could have bought a tank.
No gaps, interior still looks good, even in the Y two toddlers are in primarily.
Code reviews are so impactful. Learning how to have others look at your code and provide feedback, and you looking at others and provide feedback is huge. Mixing in the junior devs into the mix, where they feel safe to ask what is going on here or why, is the perfect comment canary. Taking the journey from 'ugly, but acceptable' to polished only comes from feedback and looking at other's code.
Not to undermine your point at all, but as a tangent, you might be surprised by how powerful phone compute is getting these days.

The iPhone 15 Pro approaches the multi-threaded GeekBench score of my Ryzen 3700x (which, while not new or high-end, is still better than what 90% of desktop users have) and handily beats its single-threaded score.

I agree that the difference in smoothness is due to software design decisions and not computational power, but thought it might be novel to see how the gap between nubile and desktop has shrunk over the years!
Tesla Sweden is delivering cars without license plates
I used ioniq 5 on driving school and rented it for one month after I got my license.

- ioniq 5 has a terrible bug on its turning signal; it often automatically turns off at wrong points. since I use it so often, it's so annoying.

- ioniq 5 has no rear wiper, which makes it super dangerous to drive on snowy/rainy days. the air dynamics just cannot remove the water or snow on the rear window.

- another deal breaker is the driving experience, the car is harder to control than Tesla. at every turn I feel uncomfortable.

These three points bother me every minute I drive it.

and it's even more expensive than Model Y. :)
The end game for surveillance capitalism. Recording everything you do, storing it out of your control and then falsifying the data to screw other people over. They'll probably only get a small fine for it so all they'll learn is to hide it a little bit better next time.

Sure, I guess I’m conflating society with government. Yeah, doctors and lawyers make more money than other professions, but those incomes are a result of innumerable positive and negative incentives (eg, cost of education, opportunity cost of education, work/life balance, “meaningfulness”). It seems nearly impossible to intentionally modify those incentives in a specific direction without causing unintended consequences elsewhere.

Example: society wants more quality teachers, so society chooses to increase the federal education budget to increase teacher salaries. Consequently, more highly educated people choose to become teachers, however, this unintentionally exacerbates the doctor shortage and further increases corporate lawyer salaries due to decreased supply of lawyers.

It's the collision avoidance braking when parking in close quarters.

It applies the brakes automatically when you are within about 6 inches of an obstacle and moving towards it. Often false-fires when parallel parking in tight quarters or reversing with a bike rack attached.

This is a different, ultrasound-based system that had been on cars for about a decade now. It has limited range.

Not to be confused with the newer autonomous emergency braking systems that are radar-based(believe mm-wave radar) that has range more appropriate for road and highway speeds but has the limitation of not being able to differentiate stationary objects from terrain.

The culture at Toshiba was don’t stand out. Just show up put in long hours & do what your superiors want. The storage executives DID NOT WANT a new technology. They were content with spinning disks. Do not rock the boat, put in your 20 years quietly, retire & maybe come back with a get a consulting job there if lucky.

The Keiretsu based structure bred complacency & selling average products to each other.

As innovation technology in Silicon Valley skyrocketed, Toshiba made slideware & agreements that offered no tangible value.

They would talk about the cloud, sign agreements with IBM but have zero real budget for implementation.

Instead they would focus on continuing to build and sell non competitive solutions that meant divisions were ordered to keep making non competitive products built by thousands of engineers at a loss.

This has allowed massive debits in a Keynesian frenzy and surplus capital. Then you have the massive military industrial complex that allowed the government to heavily subsidize the technology sector while looking good at the OTC.

You can use this argument against any law ever passed. Yes there will be a black market, and yes more people will turn to it than before, but if 99% of instances of the thing you were targeting have been removed then it is still a success.

Well, the devices I compare are a seven year old iPhone X, which has 20% of the performance of latest iPhone (in Metal API, at least), a desktop system which's equipped with a Radeon RX550 with 4GB of RAM, and an Apple MacBook Air M1.

Both of these systems are infinitely more powerful than my phone, and the latest iPhone possibly smoke that old AMD card, but not the M1, not by a large margin, at least.
The article being discussed describes the collective sense of purpose in Bulgaria as being at its peak post-communism, when the populace was excited to be free from repression and able to try new things, start businesses etc. You’re basically agreeing with the author.

It does seem, however, that there are many concerning trends in social measures in western countries these days, particularly among things that have traditionally given people a sense of purpose on an individual level. So it may behoove us to discuss and think about why that may be, and what we can do collectively to inspire the kind of societal outlook that is likely to promote a different trend in those measures.

I'd heard at one point that she specifically cram-preps for interviews the night before, so it's all still fresh and interesting in her head. (Versus overly-researched and boring)

The article alludes to something similar, in the context of her interview pace.

She clarifies her thoughts first thing in the morning in the shower. [...] It’s important to be away from her notes when she does this. She emerges from the shower with her ‘‘major destination points.’’ Then she goes to her office and refers back to her notes — sheafs of facts; dog-eared, marked-up books — for the details. Then she does the interview. And then she is inundated by the other daily tasks of running a radio show. The next day, she does it all again.
Understanding Virtual Machine Dispatch Through Duality
I remember the first time I got into a Tesla Model S. I got a rental one just to see how it’s like. Was super looking forward to it.

Getting into it was a downer. I disliked the interior or rather the lack of it so much. Driving it exceeded all my expectations though. At that point it was the best EV, and one of the best cars on the street. Revolutionary indeed.

So, I can see how it could be seen as the best car for many people. Me? I’ll take an E-Tron, or a Taycan over a Tesla any day. I myself drive a KIA, and I much prefer it over the comparable Model 3.

And that’s before taking reliability into consideration.
