I think that the url search parameter convention as is used by PostgREST is a better alternative then using SQL for this. It is more ergonomic, easier to parse and allows for some additional functionality you would usually need GraphQL for. It has some smaller downsides but those are in part due to the translation mismatch between URLs and SQL. Remember that the SQL spec runs in the thousands of pages and that the only reliable way to parse Postgres's version of SQL is by linking to actual Postgres implementation.

I've been playing around with this idea of using this language as a colloquial standard for writing things like a DB poxy/cache or a "standard" interface for something like a ECS based OLAP-esque on columnar stores. Nothing to report at the time but I love to hear from people who have worked on a similar thing.
My phone is so dumb down that any comparison is useless. It is like driving a Ferrari through a corn field.

Really? What’s so significant with this release?

Yes! Ractors deserve more highlighting! It’s a huge feature.
did they remove the service plan? My Model S came with a 4 year service plan where every quarter they would flush the coolant, filters, etc
While in general Arm assembly is much better, there are various niche applications, like computations with big numbers, where Arm still lacks some of the instructions included in the AMD64 ISA, which make the latter much more convenient for those special applications.

Things like theft under $950 being classified as a misdemeanor in California (happened in 2021 IIRC), which makes it far less likely the cops will do anything about it, de-facto legalizing theft.

This isn't the only place it's happened, it's just the one that got the most visibility.
In a scientific paper you either define everything or you give references to other papers that define them.

Not even simple terms like natural numbers should be assumed. Some include the number 0, some do not. But it does not matter as long as you provide a definition: let's talk about whole positive numbers including 0.

Definitions are paramount to quality science and research, otherwise very simple disagreements and misunderstandings derive from the lack of a basic set of knowledge.
Thank god they have a modern OS to slow them down. /s
It is amazing how they effectively built a computer in the game of life for this, even to the extent of it having its own assembly and higher level languages. It is also awesome to see people come together for such a long time to come up with a solution to even a relatively esoteric problem like this
If you think house prices are a joke now, just wait 2-3 years.

I'm actually a structural engineer with a passion for passive houses and went into programming 8 years ago. I designed and built a lot of houses and I know what you're talking about.. the house builders chase profits disregarding any laws.

IMHO the best thing is to buy a lot and build yourself the house, this way you are sure that you get what you want.
I’m currently playing with PostgreSQL, foreign data wrappers, and pgrx rust extensions. My development experience has been surprisingly smooth and enjoyable.

My main issue is that joins will be processed locally, so all the foreign data will be fetched before the join happens. But otherwise basic CRUD is easy.

So, I just read a bit on my pre-WW1 European history... And now I know why I regarded Austria-Hungary as seperate entity already before the Napoleonic Wars: The Prussian and Austrian tension arose already before, an in my memory that registered as an united Empire in name only, or as Volaire put it: Neither Roman, Holly nor an Empire.

One point to formalize this split would be 1806, rather early in the Napoleonic Wars.

Overall so, you are right. The Asutria-Hungary I talked about existed only between the Napoleonic Wars and the end of WW1.

In contrast nuclear, storage gets cheaper and better. Nuclear does not remain in Germany and is largely irrelevant almost everywhere else. My prediction is that it will increasingly become completely irrelevant, because it does not really help: We need storage, demand shaping, and peaker plants. Nuclear does not have any useful role in this world because it need to run all the time to be able to be profitable, so it can not be used to cover the missing gaps where there is no wind. So it does not make economic sense to today, and this will get even worse.

All this should be recommended in the UI.

The car DOES have maintenance needs.

Lots of people in models X & S are surprised to find their seemingly ok tires are NOT OK because they wear very quickly on the non-visible inside edge.

there are brakes on the car, which have pads and fluid. There is coolant for the battery.

Honestly, there should be a maintenance screen in the UI. You should be able to replace tires, or windshield wipers or fluid and the UI should keep track of it. Even if it just says "last replaced 10/11/12 @ 23,456 miles" or "inspected 11/12/13" or something.
I swear that most model 3's I see in Europe have their headlights adjusted up so high that they're still looking for German aircraft. It's blinding.
Oh yes, maintenance on condition! Great concept, but it requires regular inspection to appraise said condition. Otherwise it is just "until failure".
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
A lot of the stuff that took hours back then can now be done in sub-seconds.

Think about mechanical engineering: Back then they might have simulated how cars deform in a crash. Now we can perform similar simulations in real-time for fun in our video games. Afaik it's hardly ever done because no one actually needs physically accurate models in games, but it could be done.

Same goes for rendering back then they rendered each frame of toy story for a good few hours, now we achieve arguably better graphics in real time.

I wrote a subtractive synth in java for my masters project. It was a fascinating domain to learn. For example, how to manage the independent voices, wavetable interpolation, envelopes. I was probably in over my head, and if I recall correctly, my supervisor was warning me about the complexity, since it was a software engineering programme.

The filter was the weirdest, least intuitive part. I ended up porting some open source code to java. This eventually worked, but was essentially impossible to debug without some sort of software oscilloscope.

That was about 18 years ago (yikes), and I still think about DSP from time to time.

The best intuition I have of low pass filters is to imagine it like an averaging, smoothing function which operates on the sample values as a sliding window. But that's not really true - it's not a straight rolling average, instead the sinc function (sin x / x) is used to scale the sample values with respect to time.

The way FIR filters work assumes a finite amount of samples (otherwise it would be technically impossible to know all past and future samples), so instead you pick a time period over which to calculate the output. Since there are always past and future samples included, this leads to a delayed output. Eg for a 100 sample filter window, you'd need to first have 100 samples in order to calculate the first output sample. This is intuitive, since a filter is sort of a smoothing, averaging function.
I do not have to ask myself the question: I follow energy policy closely and also look at actual data. Of course, we need a solution for time when there is no wind or solar. But this - very obviously - will not be nuclear. Nuclear is far too expensive and everybody who only blames this on regularization only is delusional. The solution will be demand shaping, storage, and gas peakers and this will be driven and optimized by market forces.

Also: What is bullshit are estimates for nuclear cost: Projects are started with clearly "optimistic" ideas about cost and end up being completely over budget and it never works without the tax or rate payer footing the bill. Wind, on the other hand is now a huge industry which would not have the growth rates it has even the economics wouldn't work.
This is absolutely false unless you have a long-haul truck. Additionally most pumps have a price button or gallon/litre button where you set the thing you want and it shuts off automatically.

If you want to fill up all the way, there is a little switch which locks the pistol so you don't have to hold it and it will shut off automatically. It's that easy.
Sounds like an interesting project, but I think it's important to find a good way to interact with browser APIs. They all work differently, like rAF, geolocation, pointer lock, camera access and so on. I think relying on the unsafe mode for all that could lead to a frustrating experience but also implementing those APIs in a different way would be weird and you have to keep up with new APIs and changes browsers introduce. I suggest having an idea on how to solve this before spending a lot of time developing the actual language. If it limits what I can do with JS I would not use this and just stick with Typescript.
Give it a few years, pops :-)
Assuming this, no scheduled services, is Tesla policy, it is very well possible that Tesla doesn't have task lists in place for said checks. Which would be bad...
Much thanks to you
You could go to a third party garage. The mandatory state inspections will detect the safety issues too.

> But SQL is strictly more powerful.

I'm not sure I understand. GraphQL doesn't need to be, nor is it meant to be, powerful. Its only purpose in life is to roll up multiple actions into a single response made from a single request. It was originally designed for those actions to be REST/RPC endpoints, but if you have an SQL API endpoint the same applies.

SQL as an API isn't some novel thing. Your DBMS already does exactly that! We've been using SQL as an API for 50-some-odd years and will probably still be using it for APIs in 50 more. But, there is good reason why we have added layers on top in the datacenter. Don't expect SQL to be a suitable API for the entire world to use.

> which allows to aggregate all necessary data within the same SQL query and being returned as a single response.

If you push SQL to really pained lengths it can be done, but with a whole lot of added overhead elsewhere. There is no free lunch. Best to leave SQL to the job it was designed for; the job it is good at. It's okay to let it have help.
You miss the part where Hamas was ready to step aside, as recently as 2021, if it meant a political agreement could be reached over the establishment of the Palestinian state: https://www.972mag.com/hamas-fatah-elections-israel-arroganc...

Anyhow, after Hamas is gone like we are promised, let's see what new excuses crop up (like, 'all Pal civilians are Nazis' is already gathering some steam) to continue the subjugation of the Palestinians.

But one can sure try, right? Right?
I remember the first time I was referred to as "sir" after moving to the UK from Norway.

In Norway it's now rare to come across the equivalent "Herr" other than as an insult (implying you're stuck up), outside of very limited cases, such as instead of "Mr", but that use too is in steep decline.

English is full of ways to express implied hierarchy through different wording / tone without the T-V distinction.
I agree, but Ruby folks seem to consider C style transitive inclusion to be a feature. I found it and several other aspects of Ruby to be maddening (and productivity-sapping) for the 1.5 years I spent with an otherwise pretty nice language.
I don't think I've ever heard ofthis being a thing lol

Why doesn't Jeff or Elon just stop working? People that make that much money don't work for the money.
Tesla has some recommendations in user manual. I almost bought model y. So I saw, that there is recommendation to check brakes after winter and salty roads or something alike. I also guess, that any other repair shop could do generic check as well. Teslas have brakes, suspensions, brake fluids and many other “normal” parts.
lol. Do you know how much a "middle class" house costs in the bay area where these folks work? it is sort of crazy.
Every quarter? Even when driving a 15 year old combustion car I have never had a car that needed to go for service that often! My new EV has a two-year service interval to check the coolant and brakes.
Absolutely, but the more specialised, the more likely your skill is one part of a much bigger structure and therefore you're less likely to be able to leverage it as a solo entrepreneur.

For example, you spend 15 years becoming a lead engineer for a vehicle manufacturer. But there's very few ways you can then that into a solo business, other than consulting (which is no longer the same work).
Unlike most articles about machine learning, this one feels like it's written in my language.

The section on Lempel-Ziv is cool. Making a large LZ model is probably not very interesting because LZ is too strict, it matches strings exactly. What could be more interesting is something like "jpeg for text", strategically allowing some non-exactness to achieve a reduction in size. Which is probably what LLMs do.
Yeah but doesn't the way you intone a word change the meaning entirely? With how heavy accents are the norm for English second speakers I would think this makes Chinese practically impossible to learn to pronounce. Also 90% of the world can read the latin alphabet already which is a good start when learning a new language. Years ago I made a small attempt to learn some Russian and Cyrillic was like smashing against a brick wall, I imagine it's 200x worse for Chinese since you have to learn 5000 new characters.
Meteor Lake CPUs on Intel's optimized AI tools: AMD's chips often beat them
It should be possible to equip the car with enough sensors to detect or predict maintenance needs. Tesla's approach is, however, still incomplete. The powertrain is sensored enough, suspension/brakes/tires aren't.
I guess if we add all the problems in IT that were caused by bugs and poor designs of parsers/serializations, e.g. SQL injections, XSS, null byte vulns etc., we get billions of human hours in damages.

What should be instead is an absolutely clear serialization format into a byte string of ANY data structure that must processed by two different programs.

Parsers are programs, they should "parse" bytes, not strings, like we humans do.
If you enjoyed this, and you enjoy video games, you really should try Outer Wilds. It's in the same emotional spirit, and an absolutely fantastic game. Go in completely blind, don't read anything or watch any videos, since this is a game about gaining knowledge and can only be played once.
5.5% is still historically reasonable. Look at what rates were in the 70s and 80s. The issue is so many people got used to the ridiculously low rates over the last 10 or so years.
At the moment, many people who live in a terrace or flat, may find it easy to keep a fossil fuel car but hard to be able to rely on charging an EV at home. In a terrace, you can't guarantee that you can park outside your house necessarily.

Eventually, the local authority or landlord may install charging on every parking slot, but until then lots of people don't want to deal with the anxiety of not knowing if they can charge today.
This doesn't change much. If you want to buy an EV from Audi, you can do it.

Electric cars are so dumbed down, it's really simple. If people would read the article to know why: taking pressure off supplies, and likely dropping demand.

There has been a big crash in electric car demand this year, you can see this everywhere, from lithium prices to Tesla having to drop it's prices multiple times.

It hurts my eyes to see people in HN saying that it's really important to invest in R&D, those companies have been always investing in R&D. But creating a new electric car model is literally day-to-day business.
Looks like it already supports Linux!

It doesn't work. Tesla Model 3 is the car model that fails most often for it's age. Model Y has not been on the German roads in high amounts for enough years yet, but I fully expect it to overtake Model 3.

Model 3 fails because of rusted brakes and failing suspension for example.

Didn't read the article, but existence is obviously not a property. It is an operator, and it takes a property (e.g. "x => x is a brown unicorn"), and then searches the whole universe for something with that property.

Philosophy is a funny thing. You need some word to describe what you are doing when you are thinking about something you haven't fully grasped yet, and which is on shaky foundations. That word might as well be Philosophy. But all too often Philosophy gets lost in intellectual games which make no sense. I have to read the article to see if that is one of those cases.
I read mathematics on screens but when it comes to working out exercises etc I still prefer to do it with pen and paper, so I prefer succinct notation.
Various modal formulations of the ontological argument do lead to an interesting and I think correct conclusion that falls short of God’s existence. That is the conclusion that God must either necessarily exist or necessarily fail to exist. Anything that merely happened not to exist would not, if it did exist, be worthy of worship (as it would be something that merely happened to exist).

I am just stating the result here rather than arguing for it. Norman Malcolm expressed it very clearly in a 1960 paper. The original paper is on JSTOR, but there’s a decent summary of it here: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/s3-euw1-ap-pe-ws4-cws-doc...

Malcolm wanted to go all the way and show that God does indeed exist. I think that’s where the argument runs into problems.
Ask HN: What's the state of the art of BCI in 2023?
I am interested in continuing my study on something related to BCI in the near future because I thought VR using only audio visual is lame. But does anyone know how's the state of the art today? The only thing remotely on the news is Musk's neural chips experiment. Also is there any recommendations on what books and courses can guide me as a mere software engineer to start with this field?
Don't know how it works with local laws, but as far as I know, they could ,(doubt they would) repossess. Nevertheless, they would auction, take the 2% remaining, plus their admittedly ridiculous fees, and pay you back the rest. Not that it would end up a good deal, but it's not as disastrous as one would infer.
It didn’t make it easier.
Sure, Tesla has some things in the user manual. A workshop so needs specific task lists in the workshop manual, otherwise the inspection varies by day and person doing it. Because without said workshop manuals, mechanics are left out in the cold with regards to what has to be done. Propably includes a liability risk, you follow approved check lists from the OEM and you are propably save if something happens. You don't, miss something, an accident happens and the liability question is a lot less clear.
