The adjective order one is really interesting to explain: the adjectives in "good small old red wooden English book" have to come in that order or it sounds very peculiar.

Other European languages may have this to, but explaining it to people who speak unrelated languages usual results in a wail of "but why?!"

Many English speakers don't themselves realise it - in the UK, at least, we are not carefully taught English piece by piece after a very young age. Most grammatical understanding comes when (if!) you study a foreign language and then you find out that "find out" is a thing called a "phrasal verb".
There is a service screen in the UI with alerts and details on when tires were last changed. There is an alert for windshield fluid.

This is a bit off-topic, but I wonder if anyone knows of a programming language/DSL that supports 'subsentential' logical operators. I was just thinking the other day how convenient it'd be to be able to write SQL queries like this:

... WHERE (either A or B or C) (either beginswith OR endswith) (either X or Y or Z)

i.e. expressing the condition in a way closely mirroring the English syntax, instead of having to fully write out all 18 (=3x2x3) clauses. (Natural rules for short-circuiting would apply, so if 'A beginswith X' evaluates to true, no further conditions need be check)

This isn't just limited to query languages. In many programming languages, it strikes me as odd that I can't write something like `if A is (either X or Z)`, which mirrors how I would naturally express the condition in English, but need to reformulate it as `if A is X or A is Z`, or (worse IMO from the readability standpoint) something like `if [X,Z].includes(A)`.
This makes me a feel a lot better about choosing a Toyota over a Tesla back in 2019.

The one unforgivable thing about the Toyota is the infotainment system. What a blight on humanity.

But otherwise, such a great car. I’ve never really liked cars until this thing. It’s so comfortable, reliable, cheap to maintain, and makes all of our trips like camping and mountain biking such a joy. The Tesla would have been such a headache in comparison, I think.

At the time I was certain it would be the other way around, but charging networks weren’t sufficient in the places we travel yet. I’m glad that’s the way it went now.
Literally any moment in the next 10000 years. The probability distribution (afaict) is pretty flat, and either 1000, 10000, or 1000000 years long.
The gpt-4-1106-preview (aka gpt-4-turbo) is a foundational model with a 128K context window that OpenAI makes available for API consumption both directly and via Azure OpenAI Services.

ChatGPT is a consumer facing service that wraps the GPT-4 foundational model but at some point will likely wrap gpt-4-turbo.

Signing up for OpenAI API access or Azure OpenAI Services will grant you access to this model (with some rate-limits in place given its a preview model).
Almost all optimisations in C/C++ compilers depend on undefined behaviour, because practically no behaviour is defined!

The trick is to define behaviour, which is what other programming languages do.

E.g.: in both C# and Rust, integers have fixed sizes. A C# Int32 is equivalent to a Rust i32. Only God knows what a C/C++ "int" is. It could have 17 bits and use ternary.
There are lots of applications where a query interface that looks like SQL is not valid and there are lots of applications where it is. There are also lots of applications where "some query language" that has a translation to SQL would be a perfectly pleasant human interface, including product search.

Even if there are three applications, this blog post isn't saying every single problem has to be solved this way, so if you're one of the people solving one of those three problems, this could be a great solution for you.

> Databases do query planning, but some of them cache query plans based on the SQL text before substituting arguments, and may optimise reoccurring queries more aggressively.

Ok, and? Even if we go with your JSON solution, you still need to query the database at the end of the day, and your JSON query is not going to translate into the exact same SQL every time (unless you're doing very limited set of operations). I'm not sure what the real advice or information is here. Are you saying we should just never do some query language that translates to SQL at all? All SQL queries should just be dynamic on the input parameters? Even if your statement on query plan optimization is true, how do we know it matters for the product? Maybe slightly longer queries are totally fine in this context?
It's funny how rarely thirds of a year come up. I can't recall a single thing for which they are used
We have to add LLMs and MMMs (multi modal models) into all standard Linux distributions. A service will index all local files creating embedding connectors, this will be used to augment user prompts, and voila we can search for anything with natural language.
If I had to guess? Putting a service interval reminder would contradict the idea that EV's need absolutely no maintenance whatsoever.

That being said I vaguely recall hearing that Teslas had an annual service interval in the manual. Is that not the case?
I 100% agree with you! That's how the line "should be" drawn! Unfortunately, when you let faceless bureaucrats draw the line, they don't draw it where you want them to!

There is no formalization required for mathematics and in fact, almost all mathematics is developed, learned and written completely informal. The problem which formalization tries to resolve, is enormous amount of mathematical texts and publications waiting for review. And some of them are really big papers consisting of large amount of ideas not quite clear. For reviewer, who always is working mathematician, it us challenging to make investment into understanding others ideas just to produce review while stopping, for a while, its own research.
Formal methods may, in theory, make at least, problem of the checking of ogical correctness, automatic.
However, who want to create this formall mathematical texts at the first move? Mathematicians want to describe his ideas on informal way, and till today, except rather exotic topics, most of the community did not adopted any of formal standards ( and even maybe not agree of formal logical framework to build one)
Hmmh, I'm actually not familiar with that part of history.

> Really? What’s so significant with this release?

I think the Prism parser update is a standout highlight for me. This is the start of many new static analysis tools for ruby.

It's also significant that RBS type information is starting to be used in IRB autocompletion. Previously RBS has been an interesting experiment but hasn't had much practical use compared to Sorbet.

Ruby seems to now have good answers to non-blocking IO (async fibers) and tooling questions (ruby-lsp). We're starting to see YJIT performance improvements starting to compound with more to come too.

That all seems significant to me. Thanks to everyone involved.

> QoS could be a problem, indeed. If QoS it is an issue in the case one is working on, exposing your data as SQL might not be best choice, and neither is exposing any type of api that causes the server to have to do hard work.

It seems to me that there is a large gap between "inject SQL from the user directly into the database" and "provide a limited query language that can be translated to SQL". There are plenty of situations where the latter is totally fine. Is that reinventing the wheel? I don't think so.
To what Ive seen online is that Teslas have problems, but they are different to ICE cars. One of the problems that I think will play a mayor role is bearings. In ICE engines these are lubricated by engine oil which is replaced on service intervals, but with E-Cars regular bearings are used within electrical motors. Gonna make a weird comparison here, but I see the same in Robot vacuums; the grease in the (plastic) gearboxes is flung to the outsides of the casing where it dries up over time, so even though they are using plastics that negate a lot of the friction issues you get in dry gearboxes, they start to wear out faster. I think we should really start to investigate how we can make these components servicable, even if that means we have to go back to oil as a lubricant. Whats the point in going electric if we have to start throwing them away just like we do with consumer electronics because they are not servicable?

I don't see how it's relevant given that YJIT didn't cause any compatibility issue whatsoever.
I’m surprised that you find the software to be junk.. that’s supposed to be one of their strong points. I found the software on the Model S I borrowed for a trip a while back quite nice. But I guess the issues aren’t surface level?
I wish they were more specific about the "brake problems"
My last two new ICE cars had horrible infotainment that crashed constantly, loose fits, and an interior that rattles until it drives one to violence. I'd say they are competing on even grounds here.

The distinction is quite clear, the reason to ever use such a flag - less so. Toolchain features are very much a popularity contest, if there is no real reason to add a feature (and, in fact substantial reason not to), it shouldn't be implemented.

The idea to use it during rapid prototyping is especially problematic, since that's the point where pernicious data access patterns will infect the entire design. Once the application "works, save from some double free bugs in weird testcases we don't expect in production, and which require a one month refactoring", the temptation to ship the flag into production will become overwhelming.

My statement is from 2023 and is the current state of affairs. Your source from 2021 does not include:

1. An actual statement

2. That was ever enacted

FYI, what you are referring to is actually a proposal from Fatah to hold elections in 2021, and a promise from Hamas not to run. Hamas backed out of the agreement and ended up submitting candidates to run, despite briefly claiming they wouldn't, and according to Marwan Barghouti and Mohammad Dahlan [1], and even Hamas themselves [2], Abbas then canceled the elections out of fear his party would lose. Your article's claim that it was due to "heavy pressure" from the United States and Israel is unsourced; and regardless, long before the time of the cancellation, Hamas was running and any pretense that they would step aside was gone.

Attention is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being, but in doing so makes others recede. What a thing is depends on who is attending to it, and in what way. The fact that a place is special to some because of its great peace and beauty may, by that very fact, make it for another a resource to exploit, in such a way that its peace and beauty are destroyed. Attention has consequences.

E-Mails from big cooperations become increasingly "du". Sometimes it's still weird, but overall everyone got used to being on "du" basis with big faceless cooperations. I don't really notice anymore.

That being said, I'm young enough to have not really experienced a time when it was unheard of to call someone you don't know really well "du". I'm only learning from this thread that it seems to be a fairly recent development.
Interesting that writing style works, but other reflective actions don't.

Funny, the workshop manual, true it is a single one from the 80s, has quite detailed interval tasks listed. And the detailed instructions later, identified by task code. On top of that, it includes all / most steps regarding diagnostics. And, obviously, detailed instructions regarding repair and replacement of bits and pieces. I never bothered checking those manuals for modern cars so, first I don't do that work and second there is only so much one can do anyway.
To be fair, infotainment is a relatively recent feature of cars.

(Disclaimer: Its only very recently gone 1.0 and is still likely to undergo API change as the LLM domain itself is still rapidly evolving - I've substantially forked the project for my own needs, but I hope that as it stabilises, I can contribute PRs for some of my more advanced use cases).
Infotainment is not a cars purpose but an addition. If you need to play video games and watch Netflix then you should not be driving.
I guess you are right. Since they are creating the debt out of thin air selling it for any price is always a profit not a loss.
The low friction tires are less durable afaik. I've noticed this in practice with the comparison between my plugin and others full electric which almost always have those kind of tires. N=1 of course.

Edit: also, the APK is only after the first 4 years, and does not check things like brake fluid (which you should replace now and then) and things like bearing wear unless it becomes so obvious that it is affecting driving chacteristics. The APK does not check a lot of wear and tear so you should still do regular checkups.

Edit: maintenance is not mandatory. Only when it would be in violation of the APK, and by that time you damaged more than you should have.

On your deathbed you are likely not going to look back favorably at all the years you put in for bigcorp advancing the industry. Even if you do have a few white papers published, so what?

Two things: rewards and separation of business concerns.

First, you need to properly motivate your people to take maximum initiative to build things. If there is time to spare there is time to improve internal automation and refactor existing internal software processes. Do it, because that churn is normally hard to financially justify but it’s how you build superior software.

Also, use that time to make massive advancements in documentation. The documentation should be human readable and not specs. Specs are technical documents created for either planning purposes or conformity in the wild.

You need to reward your people for small successes that increase automation, reduce tech debt, and so on. Rewards can be things like recognition programs, points for periodic evaluations, lunch coupons, PTO, awards, and so forth.

Separate out business concerns so that the developers are not churning on product decisions unless the developers are creating new original software tools. When managing open source projects there are many product decisions to be made but most of the energy is actually documentation and maintenance. If necessary bring a product owner into the mix to advise your developers on these internal initiatives.

Things can turn around. In 2016 I felt the same way as you. It was the nadir of my life, and was interspersed with suicidal thoughts. We barely kept our Chicago apartment.

Don’t give up hope, and keep trying. Also, one key for me was to get properly medicated. Prozac was a turning point, but everyone is different. There was a clear step function from "before Prozac" to "after Prozac". The suicidal ideation stopped, among other things, which let me get my life in order.

Mostly just remember to enjoy each day in small ways. The only thing I regret from 2016 is not taking the time to appreciate the small things. There’s an interesting mental exercise to snap you out of this: pretend you’re on your death bed at 80, and then you were magically transported back in time to the present day. What would you do? Even being able to run is a blessing I don’t remember to appreciate until I can’t.

You’ll figure it out. Or at least, the chances of you figuring things out is much higher than things going downhill forever. It’s the default path, even if it doesn’t feel like it when things are going wrong.
At the moment the guides available at https://ronin.co/docs could be used for getting started! We're working on landing a starter boilerplate in the coming weeks (early 2024).

Motor oil isn't used in lubricating axle bearings or the gearbox. Those latter two are, in modern cars anyway, lubricated for "life". If Teslas, again no idea if that's the case, failed to design those components to not require regular maintenance, and then fails to define proper service intervalls, it is purely on Tesla and not the fact that we talk about EVs. Because EVs from brands with a dense service network (which is a significant revebue driver, no idea how a company can miss that) performba lot better than Tesla in the TÜV report.
