As someone who is 6 years in: It's not that bad. Really the only issue is when it's REALLY cold, like single digits F (negative double digits C) where the car is charging, and the battery is cold, it basically will not charge at home (Supercharger can do it, but takes a very long time). If the charging starts before the battery freezes, it's good.

Some places are more willing than others to charge anybody using or brandishing a firearm, regardless of the circumstances, and sometimes those exactly are the states which charge very aggressively for it. Heck, I've heard of people just being charged for driving into a wrong state with a loaded magazine laying somewhere in their trunk. Not all laws everywhere make sense.
How many hundreds of thousands of projects fall under that NIH budget?

China recently allocated $41 Billion just to improve chip production. The US hasn't spent like that since the Apollo program.
It is not uncommon for this to happen.

It is also not uncommon for a version of a device to pass emissions, being modified during the testing process to do so, but those changes never make it back into the production BOM. Or if they do, the production build is never re-qualified.
> but it's kind of annoying.

Why? Do the life choices of other individuals really cause you that much harm? I could see being annoyed that they're _marketed_ into over sized solutions that aren't actually correct for their use case, but to just be annoyed that other people appear to enjoy prosperity as an edge case is unusual to my way of thinking.

> People focus too much on edge cases when making life decisions, imo.

Similarly, and sorry to do this in reverse, but why do you think that is? Marketing, experience, habitual, unfairly priced?

> need

Anyways, personally, I'm more annoyed that corporations get to do this kind of edge case thinking. Shifting the growing of food, the use of labor, and the capital markets they sell to around in pernicious ways simply to add a few points to a publicly traded stock. Then using these profit streams to purchase selfish legislation and reduced taxes all to grease the wheels of this odd machine. Then we're all expected to accept a reduced quality experience just to paper over their decades of environmental abuse? That is madness.
For whatever it's worth, the person you're replying to took the courtesy of pointing you to some research they're familiar with, and your "it's just one paper" point (or really, any of your points here) would be much more convincing if you responded in kind to that courtesy.

On topics like this you can argue from first principles endlessly and never get any closer to the truth. Better to show us some data, I think.
Needing to drive extended distances is not an "edge case" in this country but something that the vast, vast majority of the population does on a regular basis.

Certainly not.

In a similar vein, the employees don't own their position at the company. Employment arrangements are made through mutual agreements.

If the company says something an employee doesn't like, the employee is free to leave.

If the employee says something the company doesn't like, the company is free to dismiss the employee.

It's astounding that the NRLB is defending an insubordination termination after accusations were made against the executive. This is pretty obviously a political prosecution and the end result won't be good for anyone.
That is super interesting. Do you happen to have a link still? I'd love to learn more. I wonder how applicable it is to learning new languages as opposed to new words in a native / near-native language.

Tesla is the only one I'll buy until any car can use the tesla charger network, others simply aren't very well kept up.
There is a general drought of Tesla SCs in Queensland / NE Australia, so ABRP can't find a suitable route only using the SC network. Otherwise a scenario for the Lucid Air Dream Edition has it charging 6 times for a total of 4h12m (in "great" conditions, though; I can't change the car's consumption mi/wh on the desktop site): https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=c34a381b-83fc-4bd... - but of course this is one of the most expensive and longest range EVs available today.

A lot of the world is not so developed. Ewan MacGreggor did a show on AppleTV about trying to drive from Argentina to California on electric bikes with Rivian support.

For most of Argentina and Chile and Bolivia there was no electricity at all, except for the occasional domestic windmill. We’re taking about 5,100 km of wild land. They had to charge the Rivians by attaching tow-cables to semi-trucks and being pulled, back and forth, to use the regenerative system. So deisel power, indirectly.

I will say, I don't think I've ever faced a performance issue that was caused by poor architecture. Maybe I've been exceedingly lucky. But pretty much all of the performance issues I've encountered that I can remember are in individual queries or functions / methods (or sometimes, a group of functions / methods); discrete units of code that could be tested, changed, and fixed without any sort of re-architecture or major rewrite. Or maybe we're using different definitions of "architecture" here.

People also don't want to swap their own engines or transmissions, but shops will gladly do it for you. I don't think that the need for specialized equipment is a good counter-argument - plenty of car repair tasks require specialized tools.
How impractical is it to rent a car for Dec 23 to Jan 1 if lots of other EV owners are doing the same thing?

We're a happy one ICE, one EV family, but there's no way in hell we could be all EV. Our Christmas road trip is 766 miles each way, and our gas car does it in about 11 hours of wall-clock time door-to-door, including the two fuel stops owing to that car having such a small gas tank.

I just saw the ABRP link below, so I played around with it abit. In our 2015 Nissan LEAF, that becomes a 29 hour trip with 22 charging stops. Obviously, that's a dumb car to take on a road trip.

In a Hyundai AWD Long Range, it's 14h02m with 5 charging stops. A Tesla M3LR shaves 28 minutes off that time, but still takes 23% longer than the sub-$5K 2005 Honda CR-V.

If an employee loses their job they may not be able to pay rent or buy groceries. If SpaceX fires an employee they have 10,000+ that can pick up the slack. Similarly, companies often have large legal teams on retainer whereas getting legal repression can be difficult for individuals.

It's not an equal playing field, hence why workers protections are important.

I live in the USA, in a suburb with many Chinese and Indians. Many drive Teslas. In contrast, Americans have a weird complex with Tesla/Elon and the other EVs aren’t very competitive yet, so we have this funny situation where the otherwise environmentally conscious high-income Seattle folk insist on buying ICE Subarus.
That might be the point. The best tool is often the one that the team knows best. So you might really be testing for the case where the team knows a tool best and thus can respond the fastest to the work request.
The point of the article is that rising EV sales, even at 87% in Norway (which yields only 20% EVs on the road), is not enough to fix the environmental problems of car driving. TFA talks about the need to end the car-size arms-race and the need for viable alternatives to car transportation as necessary for actually addressing the issues EV tax incentives are meant to tackle.

Agreed the title is useless, but I found the analysis insightful.
> (sticker price)

The sticker price is just the "obvious" price you see when it comes to owning a vehicle. But everything else still matters, routine maintenance and gas alike. Ignoring it only sets yourself up for being surprised when those bills come due.

> I'd consider an EV for my daily commute if I could buy a new one for $10K.

I'd consider an ICE vehicle if I could buy a new one for $10K. Have a suggestion?
This is all true in a neutral net, but Transformers aren't Neural Nets in the traditional sense. I was under that impression originally, but there's not a back propagation or Hebbian learning here, which were the key bits of biomimicry that earned classic NNs their name.

Transformers do have coefficients that are fit, but that's more broad.. could be used for any sort of regression or optimization, and not necessarily indicative of biological analogs.

So I think the terms "learned model" of "weights" are malapropisms for Transformers, carried over from deep nets because of structural similarities, like many layers, and the development workflow.

The functional units in Transformer's layers have lost their orginal biological inspiration and functional analog. The core function in Transformers is more like autoencoding/decoding (concepts from info theory) and model/grammar-free translation, with a unique attention based optimization. Transformers were developed for translation. The magic is smth like "attending" to important parts of the translation inputs&outputs as tokens are generated, maybe as a kind of deviation on pure autoencoding, due to the bias from the .. learned model :) See I can't even escape it.

Attention as a powerful systemic optimization is the actual closer bit of neuro/bio-insporation here.. but more from Cog Psych than micro/neuro anatomy.

Btw, not only is attention a key insight for Transformers, but it's an interesting biographical note that the lead inventor of it, Jakob Uzkereit, went on to work on a bio-AI startup after Google.

Floating point numbers are the worst ways to work with non-integer numbers, unless you count all the other ways of working with non-integer numbers, which are worse (ratios, fixed-point).

This is kind of a ha-ha cute response and not something you should try to dissect, but it’s worth thinking about the reasons why float beat out both ratios and fixed-point as the preferred way to represent numbers—those types both come with traps that are somewhat more severe than the traps you encounter with floats.

Theoretically, renting a car for rare long drives is a reasonable proposal. In practice, it's a PITA in most areas. You go to pick it up, the rental office is understaffed, so you wait 20-30 minutes or more. Then they spend time trying to upsell you on the car and insurance and fuel plans, and then tell you they don't have the actual car model you reserved but they have a [not really comparable] substitute. Then you have to spend time walking around the car, looking for dents and scratches so they don't get charged to you when you turn it in.

It would be more practical if it worked like on the TV ads where you just walk up to your car, get in, and go.
> How do Musk’s personal statements/opinions outside of work count as work-related issues?

You're allowed to discuss working conditions at work, it's protected by law. You're advocating for criminal behavior by suggesting they should be fired in retaliation for a protected category of organizing.

You might find more sympathy for your point of view if it were not enforced as criminally illegal behavior. Workers don't need to respect an illegal order just because it comes from their master - it's a free country with protected categories of speech.
The edge cases are the important cases though. Those parties I throw are the highlight of my year. My parents staying here with me is important to me, I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah I have a desk job but that landscaping work I do in my weekend is one of my favourite hobbies.

I refuse to live my life as if these things aren't important to me. I refuse to average my entire life style down to my median day. My median day is boring.

Most rental vehicles kind of suck unless you pay a fortune, which quickly eliminates any cost savings. And the rental agencies don't even allow for reserving a specific vehicle. In my experience at busy times you have to take whatever is left, which might not be suitable for a long road trip.
There’s nothing to leave aside, the only thing that matters is the law.

One thing I like is exploring the structural typing.

However I am confused if the enum's are structural or nominal. It seems necessary to state which enum a variant comes from, like `Direction of South` (for that matter it seems the same is true when constructing structs?). Can you cast enum values to a wider enum type? Or combine different enum values (e.g. through branching - the return of `match`) to construct a value of a wider enum?

nice! when was this? what systems did you build in it? what implementation did you use? i've been trying to understand fraser's work so i can apply it to a small embedded system, where existing lock-based programs aren't a consideration
I disagree that "someone just has to build it."

For example, when iOS shipped it did not have spell checking, word lookup, translation, password insertion, etc built in as context menus on text. When those features were added by the OS, every app using the native widgets got those features for free with no work on their part.

Apps that rolled their own though, had to re-release their app. If they don't have time or their app is abandoned then their users suffer.

This is arguably one of the reasons flash was killed off. It was designed to render to a rectangle of pixels and it assumed a mouse and keyboard. Then smartphones appeared and no one was going to go back and fix millions of flash pages.

Current apps doing their own thing will have the same problem with the next UI change (maybe vision Pro for example).
While I completely agree: I don't believe this applies to Restic (or many other many-cloud-host backup software). It seems to be using the dumb S3 like API with an entirely local encryption, as do many others because that's kinda the only portable way to do encryption.

I have not dug into it in detail though, so I would encourage everyone to not believe this without verifying.
> Drivers saw the vehicles around them getting bigger, so they wanted bigger cars to make themselves feel safer. Automakers argued that this was proof that people wanted only big cars, so they cut small models and made existing vehicles bigger, which made people with smaller cars feel less safe — you get the picture.

This statement (that drivers buy bigger cars to protect themselves from big cars they see on the road) is unsourced, and seems ridiculous to me. I found some surveys where people cite safety as a factor in purchases of SUVs, but that says nothing about whether an "XXL" SUV is (or is even assumed to be) safer than an "XL" SUV. It especially does not attribute causation: whether or not people are buying larger and larger vehicles reactively, and in an endless feedback loop. That last part sounds like somebody's personal theory.
Unfortunately mainstream conservatives don’t believe in free speech anymore, that was a 2000s era flash in the pan.
Because it kicks on to non-urgent, elective surgeries, preventative care etc which in turn reverberates into increased utilisation in the future. It can take a long time for the system to recover.
Agree; I have spent far less time adding miles to my car compared to constant chore of gas filling given daily thoughtless home charging.

Trips with fast charging/Tesla network has not been a problem for many years now; it's good to stretch your legs every 3 to 4 hours anyway.

Gas stations smell bad & exhaust is poison and smells awful.
> it basically will not charge at home

That actually sounds pretty bad to me, especially if that is my primary charging mechanism.
My guess would be vibration at the top of the rack which is why when you relocate them they do much better. This is such a great thing to call out explicitly with data.
I agree, in my circle (Asian tech worker) no one cares about Musk’s shenanigans. They just want a practical EV with a charging network that just works. It’s always fun going to dinner parties and the driveway is full of white Xs and Ys. The Tesla hate comes from an insular online bubble, but it doesn’t seem to affect EV sales much.
That is a shame. I was looking at that SUV and 40F isn't too terribly cold around where I live. That stinks that it over halves the range of the PHEV.
The formula is pretty straightforward, the sheet itself is a bit of a mess. Take the price you pay for each car; take your number of miles driven a year; use the mpg and kWh/mi to calculate the operational cost of each for a year (I think I used a conservative value of like 180 kWh/mi for my 3). Then multiply by the number of years owned and add the purchase price.

I don't give this kind of feedback unprompted unless it's asked for by the candidate in which case I will happily oblige. But early in my career I would do this by default the first few times until someone screamed "F--- YOU" and hung up the phone at which point I decided its best to just let people ask instead of giving it out freely.
I'm surprised nobody is pointing out the chasm.

EVs have so far captured the market for early adopters. The range limitations, early teething problems, and just lack of comfort of understanding how they work (is it on, is it not on, how far can I go, etc etc) only appeals to the early adopters.

My proof point in this is when I was renting an EV at Hertz a few weeks ago. The couple next to me were trying out an EV for the first time, and trying to select one. They couldn't figure out how to get the trunk open, there was no obvious button or handle (this EV only had a button on the key, which they hadn't taken from the car yet).

They were asking me a few questions as I just walked up to my car and started getting my stuff in it. They wanted to know which one they should take, how do they know if it's locked, etc. Many things which are not significantly, or any different from a regular car, but they understand that EVs are new, and they obviously weren't comfortable with the new.

So a "slowdown in growth", is somewhat to be expected as EVs make the transition across the chasm.

I'm embarrassed that i don't know this, I've read the book, but how is this properly addressed?
