The energy density of the fuel isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. The chemical energy stored in gas is much harder to use. ICE cars typically get around 20-40% efficiency. Electric motors typically get 80-90%.

In some sense, they do that by moving the losses to before the battery/tank; so this isn't as big of a gain in terms of total energy usage. However, in terms of the effective capacity of the energy storage device, we don't really care about losses in refilling it.
If I say I want to go to X destination the car says I will arrive with Y battery percent left.

This is accurate to me within about 5% of the battery, even driving at fast highways speeds and in cold weather.

If it was "cheating" I think I'd notice an issue when the car said I had 5% left but the real battery charge was empty.
I've heard it said that paying public servants well is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for avoiding corruption (this was as applied to Singapore). You don't want people trading power for money, and when you consider how much economic damage a corrupt person in a position of power can do, paying them well is really cheap.

Of course, it is best to couple the good pay with severe penalties for abusing power.

As a long time Ubuntu user, I figured I'd try Debian a month ago for the same reasons you listed. It's supposed to be 95% the same, so why not. Fresh install, my bluetooth headphones didn't work. Reverted back to Ubuntu and they worked right away.

That's my reason for using Ubuntu instead of Debian - I simply don't care enough to bother with these small things.

The lead photo shows it next to a Volvo XC40[1], not a Yaris. Yes, pickups are nice at certain times (I have fit dimensional lumber into my Mazda 3, but it wasn't pretty), but modern trucks are just silly. The Maverick is larger than an old Ford Ranger yet has a smaller bed.

Please prove me wrong on these points. My current belief and understanding is that:

1. `foo(T)` indicates polymorphic over both `T::T(const T&)` and `T::T(T&&)`. This gives you benefits of both pass-by-move (using `std::move` as needed), or copy.

2. Usage of `foo(T&&)` signals code-smell or an anti-pattern as `foo(T)` should be used instead unless it is perfecting forwarding / universal reference `template <typename T> foo(T&&)`.
Starcraft was doing that in the 90s including the tweaks to balance the different races. IMO it made the game better as clear imbalances got fixed over time.
It is also what you get when language evolution makes was for language revolution - or revolutionary language - where language modification is used as a tool to achieve a means to achieve an ideological goal. When 'language is violence' but actual violence is 'mostly peaceful' or 'context-dependent' language loses its purpose.

The 57.5 kWh battery in the base Model 3 has the same energy content as just ~1.18 US gallons (4.46 liters) of pure gasoline. Electric motors are a lot more efficient than combustion engines, though.

This reaction to the pandemic still baffles me, even if you thought the precautions were overly cautious you were fighting an uphill battle against the scientific consensus. Even when you're right that almost never turns out well for you as Semmelweis Gamgee can personally attest.

Magnified by the fact the broader population considered this a crisis where social cohesion is priority number one it cost literally nothing to tow the line; no one was going to be fired for being too cautious with people's health. And you can still get an I told you so at the end. Were prominent right wing politicians really that desperate for another wedge issue to justify their lack of platform they thought it was good idea to just throw some m80s into the public square and run away?

Is there some other deep seeded part of human nature desperate to be contrarian "for the luls" even to your own detriment? Because the high profile people pushing the denial clearly didn't believe their own words, they all got the vaccine. Looking back the only explanation left is they just wanted to be like "u mad?" for the attention.

Cryptocurrency Nearing Mainstream Milestone
I started learning on my own about two years ago and I only used simplypiano and youtube. I’m able to play with both hands now and can learn songs pretty quickly by watching youtube videos. I can also read some music thanks to simplypiano. I noticed quicker progress when I sat down to learn songs I really liked (in comparison to just learning what everybody else tells you to learn).
If it were exactly the same size it could still be silly for city life, depending on the city, the neighborhood, etc. Because it awkwardly sticks out in parking lots? Because you like how it makes you feel, and even better how it makes others feel? That's silly.

Because it's impossible to find parallel street parking (and take up 2-3 spaces when you do) and makes it much easier to hit unseen pedestrians in crowded areas and older layouts with tight corners? Because you need it for work? Not at all silly.
I think it was clear from the beginning that this was unlikely a SMIC breakthrough, especially after Huawei unveiled their 7nm chip a few months before.

China might achieve chipmaking parity with Taiwan at some point in the future, but given that they are yet unable to manufacture 7nm chips at a meaningful scale, it is not going to be any time soon.
I've been really surprised people have been so willing to share a verified phone number with a company that has a product with the potential to learn everything about everyone.

Ask HN: Should I switch to Grok/Bard/Claude?
I have subscribed to ChatGPT Plus for asking development questions and requesting code writing assistance, especially in unfamiliar languages.

I have a few complaints about ChatGPT:

1. It doesn't actively search the Internet and when it does, it's slow.
2. Sometimes it generates incorrect information, making it difficult to distinguish if it is accurate or not.
3. The code it produces occasionally doesn't adhere to the latest best practices.

Should I consider switching to Grok/Bard/Claude? Or are there better alternatives available?
The pascal system on Apple II was very advanced. I never used it (BASIC and 6502 assembly for me) but I know that one game I played, the well-regarded "Wizardry" (note the state-of-the art 3D graphics here https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Wizardr... and here https://www.myabandonware.com/media/screenshots/w/wizardry-p...)

I believe a group has built source for Wizardry from the binary and you can compile/run it today on Apple emulators:

it's crazy how that game, with its simple 3D graphics, led me to be fascinated with rendering 3D which ended up being a significant part of my career.
"Independent" just meaning "not part of a cabinet secretariat" is not at issue. When the claim is that the governance structure and the pseudo judicial hearings by which they actually exercise authority are unconstitutional it's fair to qualify the argument as "the agency is unconstitutional".

No one would have an issue if the board and officers were fireable by the president at will, like they are at say the CIA or EPA, and if they had to actually go to court to allege violations of the law.

Why does it have to be perfectly equivalent?

Do we only need to reduce emissions if doing so is not just feasible or workable but perfectly convenient for everyone in all situations?

For reference my road tripping charges on interstate highways tend to look like ~3-3.5 hours of driving on the first leg (starting with 90-100% charge at home) followed by 15 minutes of charging every ~2 hours of driving after that.

It's not perfect or quite as good as ICE, but I usually find that the car is almost ready to go after I use the restroom and get a bottle of water or something and get back to the car.

I make this great sacrifice of horrific inconvenience the two times per year or so that I take trips that actually require multiple charging stops, in exchange for zero gas station visits the rest of the year due to home charging.
It also sets the bar very high for parents.
I agree in principle, but that's dangerously close to saying "I'd love if AI was a good game designer" -- I mean, I'd love it too, but we're very far from that, and there are even more interesting things we could do in that world.

I'm also a girl dad (ages 3 and 4) and Bluey is a total favorite in our (mountain west US) household. In utter contrast to the singsongy dreck of CocoMelon and its imitators, our kids actually take away memorable lessons they enjoy (going to bed like a big girl, like Bingo!), and my wife and I regularly comment that we'd watch the show on our own without the kids for its sheer relatability.

> It'd be nice to know, for instance, how damaging one substance is versus another so that I can prioritize my concerns better.

A list of harmful chemicals people could be exposed to in daily life shouldn't be difficult to compile if there isn't one already, but is relatively useless because as I noted exposure itself is not the problem in almost all cases.

However taking that list and trying to compare the harm on some sort quantitative level is going to be difficult.

I wouldn't worry about it -- I was speaking more about 'stay mindful of things around you that you can control, like wearing PPE when necessary or staying away from off-gassing plastics which have a characteristic smell' rather than 'make a list of everything you are exposed to and plan your life around it'.

Your positive opinion on their copyright stance does not seem to align with other YouTube creators - in particular, their complaints about aggressive automatic content ID application, that successful appeal often lead to the video being up but with redirected monitization to the claimant, the poor appeal process for the blind legal requests made using it, and the associated "copyright strike" system where third parties can basically terminate your source of income as a result of a few blind, incorrect takedown requests.

Perhaps your type of content is less likely to get incorrect matches, or does not use fair-use or expired works often, or maybe you have access to better YouTube representatives than the average (semi-succesful or better) YouTuber.
For some reason I never saw anyone inquiring about the climate change implications of the Starships.

Elon is envisioning a rate of one million Starship launches per year. That makes the numbers very round: every launch produces 5000 tons of CO2-equivalent, so that's 5 gigatons of CO2e. For comparison the whole of the US emitted 4.7 GT of CO2e in 2022.
It's modern diesel engine (2019). The exhaust that comes out is cleaner than many small 2 stroke motorcycle engines, lawn mower engines,etc. Also way cleaner than that old Mercedes diesel you are running your biodiesel in.

I live right where the interstate dumps into the city, we have soot on our windows. The problem is real, but the diesel trucks, big trucks, are 95% of the problem, not the 5k miles I drive a year in my truck.
I made the unfortunate mistake of having the backend for my game on Hetzner and on launch day the abrupt spike in traffic made their abuse detection go haywire. No amount of explaining that everything was under control would satisfy their support team, and they null-routed my server.

> People don't always get trials by jury either (petty traffic cases being perhaps the most common example)

And this is also a gross miscarriage of justice, and basically is uncontrolled rampant taxation.

And somehow, its done as a contortion that the BMV "allows" you to drive, so you're bound by their ALJs, who are actual judges but with laughable standards. And the BMV can revoke driving rights for any/no reason.

Its cause the system would drown if citations actually required a real court and jury and such. So the state just jedi-hand-waves and says no.

Hopefully, SCOTUS decision will also remove this BMV speeding ticket bullshit in kangaroo court.
The whole "death of RSS" idea seems like a strange perspective. RSS/Atom never went away, and nothing has replaced their use case for syndicating content.

To the author's point, it's just that a lot of mass-market consumption of web content for the past decade or so has been on walled-garden platforms that never offered syndication in the first place.

But even there, I think the article is overstating things -- it implies that Reddit, HN, Medium, and Substack have only recently begun offering RSS feeds, but these have never not offered RSS feeds (and HN has always had a native top-level article feed, even if the 3rd-party solution is more extensive). Even YouTube has always offered RSS feeds (albeit without enclosures, so they can't be used as podcast feeds -- but Odysee, a web frontend to LBRY which is gaining traction against YouTube does offer feeds with enclosures).

I guess this application is a good solution for people who want to follow syndicated content via Mastodon, but it should be pointed out that the traditional model of using standalone RSS readers never went away -- when Google Reader was shut down, the void was quickly filled with a variety of solutions like TinyTinyRSS, MiniFlux, Feedly, Inoreader, etc.

I personally use TinyTinyRSS, with Liferea as a desktop client, as my primary interface to all of the blogs, podcasts, subreddits, and YouTube channels I read, along with aggregators like HN and Lobsters. I've been using this solution for over 10 years now; nothing has ever stopped working and none of the sites ever pulled back from publishing feeds.
Reasonable or not, the company you keep is treated as a thing.

I know that's what the ruling essentially implies, but that doesn't sound like a reality we should be encouraging or even entertaining, IMO. It's a failure of the US legal and antitrust enforcement system if this line of reasoning is accepted, blatantly so in this case.

I do wish they'd mention the music and inspiration in the credits. S1E17 (Calypso) is built around Camille Saint-Saens' "Organ Symphony" 4th movement. S1E1 (The Magic Xylophone) is based on Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca". S1E11 (Bike) is derived from Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 4th movement (a.k.a. Ode to Joy). And the original music is awesome.
