As someone who has written an ANN from scratch and hasn't used TensorFlow, I still find this description confusing.

I asked ChatGPT to explain how to modify a basic ANN to implement self-attention without using the terms Matrix or Vector and it gave me a really simple explanation. Though I haven't tried to implement it yet.

I prefer to think of everything in terms of nodes, weights and layers. Matrices and vectors just makes it harder to relate to what's happening in the ANN.

The way I'm used to writing ANNs, each input node is a scalar but the feed forward algorithm looks like vector-matrix multiplication since you multiply all the input nodes by the weights then sum them up... Anyway, I feel like I'm approaching these descriptions with the wrong mindset. Maybe I lack the necessary background.
Also not a lawyer.

I think if, for instance, a group of roof tile workers were discussing how they thought their safety straps needed to be replaced, and were fired for doing so - whether or not the straps needed replacing would be immaterial. The discussion is protected.

In the same way, I don't think it's material whether Twitter is disruptive to their work. NLRB's argument, if I'm understanding correctly, is that they were discussing their conditions, and that such a discussion is protected.
Big car inflation.

People who like to stand out buy big cars. Big cars make people in small cars feel unsafe. So people replace their small cars with big cars. So, people in big cars buy bigger cars.....and so on.

So now every car has to have more 'safety'. Maybe if the car hitting me wasn't 5000lbs, at chest level and didn't accelerate like a bullet..... I wouldn't need more 'safety'. So now every one has bigger, "safer" and more expensive cars....... all while American road deaths keep growing with no limits in sight.

One day I will see a Ford-150 bed used for pickup truck tasks. Today is not that day.

Regarding your last point about what it didn't save you, it reminded me of this blog post: https://overbring.com/articles/2023-06-23-on-using-llm-to-ge...
Right, but isn’t 92 min / 702 min (11h42m) is a 13% increase, not 23%? (Also, ABRP by default adds 5 minutes “overhead” to charging stops — reasonable for non-superchargers were you have to futz with everything, but the supercharger overhead is frankly less than a gas station. Pull up, plug in, done.)

I found the range penalty for going above 75 mph to be a weird thing…I typically target supercharger arrivals at 15%. If there’s…extra drag, let’s say…I might arrive around 10% or lower. But the battery charges really fast at that SoC, at least on the 250kW superchargers. If the extra drag gets me there 10-15 minutes sooner for a 2-hour segment, I’ll only see a charge penalty of 2-3 minutes.

Of course, I’m only thinking about all this stuff because I love spreadsheets more than is reasonable; most people won’t, shouldn’t, and don’t have to bother!
SELinux precisely allows things like restricting applications to specific ports or specific files though. Pretty sure that it would also be possible to restrict internet access and things like that. What it needs is better UIs.

The potential for process injections is severely reduced by design on systems such as Android or when containerizing applications, for example with Flatpak. Modulo kernel bugs or being root, it's simply not possible to mess with the processes of another user.

Advanced desktop users have better things to do than reviewing security warnings all day long. I get paid to write code instead of investigating what my applications are doing.
I have a 200 mile range EV, which is to say a practical range of 120-160. It's great for running around the bay area. It's not so great for the monthly travel I do going 500-2000 miles in a stretch because stopping every 120-160 miles for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours is mind-numbing, and that doesn't even account for the mercurial state of the national charging network. It's also not so great in places less friendly to EVs. I'm upgrading to a 400 mile range EV down the road and I hope the charging network upgrades itself as well because it still sucks.
Eventually you will get used to it, like in Greece unless all UK rises.

Ironically, Eastern European migration is what ran a lot of the low-wage, labor-intensive industries like restaurants, ridesharing, delivery, etc.

These industries have been decimated during the pandemic when the migrants (who mostly could still remain in the UK despite Brexit thanks to (pre?)settled status) decided that it was no longer worth to stay in a place that is not only hostile to them but now offers the same quality of life as their native country.

Cue the “nobody wants to work anymore” cries.
They chose a constructive way, yet received destruction in return.

To be absolutely clear, politely communicating with fellow employees is absolutely the constructive way to handle work disagreements. The problem here obviously wasn't the constructiveness, but that there was any disagreement at all.

That's toxic leadership, but no surprise given the leader of the company.
Totally agree that the edge cases are important. But people spend too much on owning equipment for them that would make more sense to rent.

Take the dining room example. A quick search says it costs ~$20,000 to build a dining room, so let's say a house with one costs $10,000 more than a house without. So by foregoing a dining room, one now has an extra 10k that they can spend however they want.

But that DOESN'T mean that they can't spend it on throwing parties! I'm pretty sure that even spread over many years, 10k dollars can produce a lot of fun times.
I'd like to see TLDR of this.
In my mind these things aren't really at odds. It can both be true that in a society where folks have disposable cash they're willing to spend it to optimize low frequency events, and companies are willing to encourage this behavior for the reasons I mentioned above.

It seems around 0.6€ is where they judge it worthwhile to create an invoice. I have even less data (because I only backup my server there, for my PC I use backblaze personal with payments every 2 years), and they charge me 0.6-0.85€ every 2 months.

It looks like the problem is dominated by reading in the data file. Some fast solutions just read the whole file into memory.
If you have 93% of your trips under 30mi, and have 1 trip per day, you have 25 over 30mi per year — or about 2 per months.

40mi per day indicates that’s probably 2 trips per day, hence 4 over 30mi per month.

Worrying your car can’t go to the mountains and back to ski on the weekend (or whatever) seems valid — and why those 73% of people are concerned.

Telling me I shouldn’t worry about having a weekend getaway because it’ll do me fine going to and from work is a loser sales pitch. As many here have pointed out.
Yes, for the mainland locations at least. We would fly to Kalispell and rent a car for glacier, nice airports exist for Yellowstone and Grand Canyon. We would be skipping the great American road trip, however, which isn’t really practical in a rental. Glacier is only 9-10 hours away from us by car, so it is definitely road trip feasible. I might wait to go to glacier for a year or two since the charging infrastructure should be better by then.

There wouldn’t be much point to an Alaskan road trip with a rental. Again, just fly and rent a car I guess, but we could get up to Prince George maybe.

Very interesting. When I was hand-writing ELFs, it took me a while to grok sections vs. segments. If you ever run across a history of executable formats and the motivations for the particular decisions made with ELF, I'd love to read that.

The main thing that surprised me was how loose of a format ELF is compared to the much more rigid conventions imposed by modern mainstream compilers.

Electric drier plugs aren’t always conveniently located (and some won’t have any—apartments and certain types of assisted-living sorts of situations might not).

Normal outlets take forever to charge. Days from, say, 20% charge to get to full. Better not be using it for any other driving while you visit.

May have to kick one of their cars out of a garage, in either case, to reach any outlet. Some people really hate having their car outside.
But is it still expensive compared to the situation where you're buying fuel for the ICE instead? For many places, the saving on the fuel costs will more than offset the occasional trip.

It's kind of similar to why we got rid of the second car. Sure, it's useful, but for all the extra costs, I can take multiple taxi trips a year. (I barely do 1 in practice)
If the rich and powerful are unable to show self restraint then they should not have that power. Humans are Human, but we don't have to give some humans the power to sack others without just cause.
FWIW, with that downside (and really that plus the range are the biggest two downsides), these are by far outweighed by the upsides.

It is practically zero maintenance, so much more fun/pleasant to drive, and no more trips to the gas station every week or two.

I have considered replacing our other (ICE) vehicle with a second EV, but the article hits on the main reason stopping me: we still take enough road trips that the (current) lack of infrastructure would make those tough for an EV.

But I think I will always own at least one EV, and I’m hoping the infrastructure improves enough to allow me to get rid of our ICE vehicle.

The NLRB only collects tens of millions in fines, nationwide, per year [0]. Shotwell probably understood the illegality of her actions quite well—and more importantly understood that the benefits of chilling labor activism in a 30k-employee company far outweighed the miniscule costs.

In support of this: Shotwell not only fired these employees, but made a loud spectacle out of it—emailing the entire company to announce their firing. This, deterrence, was the reason.

"Gwynne" to me looks like the first element of Guinevere (obviously female) plus a French-style feminine ending.

And the root means "white", which if it's going to be coded as one sex or the other is again always going to be female.

I would never have expected the name to be masculine. I'm surprised to see males reach 50%. (Actually, in the Wikipedia list, 55%.)

(Looking into it a little farther, the same name in Irish appears to be Finn, a legendary (male) hero. Probably relevant.)
70mph is the upper end of the sweet spot for Tesla distance driving. I lived in Chicago for a decade and had a Model 3 for the majority of that (purchased it in 2018 new). From our house in Chicago to our family's house in Kentucky, it was 385 miles door to door. We'd stop in Indianapolis (or Lafayette, IN) and grab a bite to eat, stretch our legs, and use the restroom. It would always be done charging before we were finished eating, so no big deal at all. We've since purchased a Tesla Model Y and have done many road trips. I'm hoping to get the Cybertruck in the next year or so with the range extender. I do have a farm and plan on using it to haul stuff, but with 470 miles of range, we can drive generally longer than I'd ever want to with two kids and go camping.
> It's not an equal playing field, hence why workers protections are important.

That's why unemployment is important.

None of these factors prevent someone from being let go without notice. Those points aren't germane to whether someone can be laid off. Criticizing the CEO isn't a protected activity in any event.
I have worked a little bit with facilities in the italian health system in my career. As with any health system you build out to handle a certain idea of peak utilization which is much higher than average utilization. My experience in Italy was the there was a very modest difference between average and peak. It is extremely expensive to maintain a lot of unused capacity for modern health facilities. Bottlenecks around imaging, and ICU in particular. As with any health system you do the best you can with the resources that are available. Unfortunately, it is a very long lead time to add additional peak capacity.

I don't like the usage of "collapse". It's a weasel word. What they actually mean is that some meaningful amount of patients won't be able to receive a proper standard of care. That is a -- possibly avoidable -- tragedy.
The takeaway is "Don't dis your boss at work." I know Elon lost this round, but those dirty bstrds that took his cash and trashed him like that must be in it for some dubious reasons --they are NEVER going to wakeup one day in their 50s and be able to gloat about how they improved humanity...all because they decided to spout off some political trash at work, about the guy signing their checks. Even if they do manage to score some cash when all is said and done, they're going to wind up buying restaurants or getting into auto leasing or something ..while Elon is sending friggin' spaceships to friggin' Mars.

Didn't know that. Also was too emotionally distraught to really deal with it in a logical manner. I had a lot of stuff going on, I was about to get off parole 3 years early. I absolutely needed a job. Anyways, I found a good one after. And it was good for 2 years.
Speaking up against your employer should not threaten your job. That's how you get an echo chamber of horrible decisions made by the people who just so happen to sit at the top. Especially in a company run by someone who claims to "seek truths" like Musk.

However, it certainly would not make you popular with the true believers in the room. You would definitely feel the discontent amongst your peers in a conviction led company.
Sure, you could.

I don't really understand what people are imagining here though - it's not like "entertaining space" is some gilded-age ballroom for most people making this choice, and the price difference matters if and only if there is an otherwise comparable house you can buy that meets your other constraints.

That’s wrong. It’s true that areas planned around cars can’t support that number of small shops and restaurants.

Actually nearby it’s the street with more car traffic that has the most empty store fronts because everyone hates walking on it.

The main issue with the walkable cities is the housing is expensive.

The reason for that is demand exceeds supply. People love the cities judging by the absurd house prices in them. It’s just that we don’t have enough of them.

A main reason for that is single family zoning and parking minimums.

> Which part of the open letter discusses working conditions?

The sections regarding unacceptable behavior seem like potential candidates:

> SpaceX’s current systems and culture do not live up to its stated values, as many employees continue to experience unequal enforcement of our oft-repeated “No Asshole” and “Zero Tolerance” policies. This must change.

> [snip]

> Define and uniformly respond to all forms of unacceptable behavior. Clearly define what exactly is intended by SpaceX’s “no-asshole” and “zero tolerance” policies and enforce them consistently. SpaceX must establish safe avenues for reporting and uphold clear repercussions for all unacceptable behavior, whether from the CEO or an employee starting their first day.
I think the question is whether the boss's personal social media account is part of their workplace conditions. A safety strap is definitely a part of the work place. If your job is not social media manager and you don't work at Twitter (these are SpaceX employees), then it's hard to see how Twitter is a part of their workplace conditions. They should probably be designing rockets or whatever they were being paid to do instead of reading Twitter.

> Plus, heavier electric vehicles are harder on roads.

It’s true but the author should check the fourth power law. Most of the road wear comes from the heavyweight vehicles, the trucks. The little weight increase on personal vehicles isn’t that bad for the roads.

Making lightweight electric cars is also possible, the old bmw i3 was light, but it’s more expensive.

Okay. Then how should we measure the emotional value of seeing and smelling gasoline? Experiencing the nostalgia of pumping gasoline just like the good old days of yore? Can you see the problem here? People ascribe emotional value to all sorts of things that may be financially unwise or environmentally damaging. You waste your money I don't care; but we all have one earth to protect.

My point is, climate change is an extremely big threat that we simply don't have much room for these affordances. 2024 is the year to make personal sacrifices to switch to EVs because that's how urgent the situation is.
> This is purely a semantic difference. If you travel once or twice a year beyond the standard EV range, then by definition it’s an edge case.

I humbly beg to disagree; it's most definitely not an edge-case as the phrase is defined.

You're using "edge-case" to mean low-frequency event. How I see the phrase used everywhere I've ever seen it, is "edge case" referring to a low-probability event, i.e. an event that is predicted to so rarely occur that it can be dismissed from consideration.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/edge-cas... says:

>> an extreme or not typical example of something, that should not be considered when forming an opinion about it:

An annual trip is an almost guaranteed event, so it's a very high probability event. I get that it is a low-frequency event, but "edge-case" is the incorrect term used to describe the event. Use "rarely" or similar instead.
RV parks let you do that here in the state, you can even get to L2 charging in most cases (this is the only way to drive an EV to Alaska ATM), but it isn’t what I would say convenient, or very practical.
