While I'd argue anyone looking to spend under $20k on a car would be better suited going used/pre-owned instead of new, theres really not a price premium on new electric vehicles anymore.

The Chevy Bolt MSRP is $26,500[1] (not sure where you saw 28.5) but it qualifies for the $7500 rebate. In the past that was a tax write-off and you still had to pay sticker up front but it changed this year to be a credit the IRS gives the dealer at time of purchase so the price gets immediately knocked down to $19k.[2] Requires the purchaser be under the new income cap to qualify but that includes over 90% of people.

Theres only two new cars available in 2024 under $19k, the Nissan Versa and Mitsubishi Mirage. If we look at 2023 theres also the Kia Rio. All three are out of date cars with anemic engines (the Mirage literally makes 78hp) and 0-60 times of 10 seconds or more compared to 200hp and 6.8 seconds for the Bolt. None of the base models have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto unlike the Bolt. Same for safety features/creature comforts like lane assist and adaptive cruise control.

Otherwise the next cheapest new car available is the '23 Kia Forte which is a pretty fun car (and can reach highway speed before the heat death of the universe) which is actually in a similar tier to the Bolt and similarly priced at $19.5k.[3]

Theres definitely a lot of people who EVs don't work for logistically (myself included until only very recently), and yes you could buy one of three horrifying cars I would not force on my worst enemy for less, but manufacturers know they won't sell overpriced cars so the upfront cost of an EV aligns quite well nowadays with comparable ICE vehicles.

I would expect Mercedes to abide by a court order. This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't a "smart car" and just has a plain old set of keys, the company wouldnt need to be involved at all. But they have an additional responsibility here because they can override the legal system in this case with no recourse.

Frankly they're lucky the ex husband killed himself. Could have been a very expensive lawsuit if he ended up hurting someone.
(Also worked on this area for a bit)

There are EU regulations requiring fishing vessels over 15m to use AIS (the UK also abides by these) so within Europe the standards are reasonably consistent. Regulations are considerably more relaxed or less effectively enforced in other jurisdictions which is reflected in the data; it's possible the 98% of all fishing vessels operating off Thailand without AIS are all legal. But given the reputation of larger vessels operating in that region for slavery, perhaps not.

Agree there are privacy-related reasons why you might ideally not want competing vessels seeing which waters you fish, but AIS alone doesn't tell anyone whether it's any better than other waters (and fishermen have no shortage of other data points to plan their activity or other boats to follow if they really don't have any better heuristics). Regulatory evasion is rife even in effectively-regulated areas not least because the industry is convinced some of the regulations are actually wrong, especially when it comes to localised quotas. You knows there's an issue when a former operator of a commercial fleet in Europe tells you candidly, that their skippers (who are all tracked by AIS/VMS) would definitely expect any catch logging system to allow them to lie about which points on their voyage yielded most of the fish....
> EVs are still solidly in the "luxury" category

Not all models. With the tax rebate, a Tesla 3 costs nearly the same as a Camry, so does the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt. If you want a Polestar or Mach-e, sure, then your in BMW/Merc price range.
The range anxiety issue is the same sort of issue we’ve seen preventing heat pumps from becoming more widespread than far less efficient heating sources until more recently.

Consumers seem to focus on the circumstances under which the new technology performs its worst and judge it against the performance of the old technology in this specific scenario, with little regard to how common or likely this scenario may be.

It begs the question if this is a marketing problem, a generational problem, or a simple matter of dollars and cents — that is to say: Does this kind of problem only go away when the new technology is just so much cheaper that it’s impossible to rationalize choosing the old?

Obviously it’s some combination of these things and more, but personally I think there’s an outsized effect of marketing. Here’s why: Take a look at the top selling vehicles in the US and you’ll find a large number of heavy duty pick up trucks, for example. However you’ll also find that something like 10% of consumer heavy duty vehicles actually haul anything substantial on any regular basis.

Now, take a look at the ads for these vehicles (or really any vehicles — not to pick on trucks) and you’ll find they are selling a lifestyle fantasy: Off-roading to a private beach with a surf board and your dog, hauling lumber from a forest to your family’s cabin, heroically helping a close friend move into their new home, a family road trip to Yellowstone…

It’s January 2024 and Americans everywhere are resolving to spend more time with their friends and families, to do more things outdoors, etc. They can finally get to it this year once they’ve got the (literal) vehicle to achieve this fantasy, so only then nothing stands in their way, surely…

It’s this kind of FOMO that is driving most range anxiety, because people see their vehicle in the fantastical terms they were sold, not the reality of how they’re actually used.
100 years ago is when western powers became involved and created the conditions for the current situation. So any comparison between the pre-british and period and everything that has happened since is quite harebrained.
Yeah I’m hearing that but it seems very much like you are selling art, an LLM character service, and some dev/packaging. I don’t think you’re going to reap much benefits from aggregating all these together. Feels like a shovelware machine. One of your homepage trending projects also used Star Trek IP.

Like your value prop is description to game. Ok. But doesn’t that mean that if the description to game is too complicated that you’re going to be failing your value prop? Which is very likely to happen because you’re trying to instantiate something of great complexity? It really really feels to me like you’re selling some tooling.

The art looks much better than the games. Selling devs art tooling might be more sensible even if the total imaginable market is much smaller.

I hope this is useful to you fadymak- the page load is quite slow for me, and returning to it the second time was equally slow. (5-10s)
I can go longer and I could force the kids to go longer but the overall mood is crankier than with more frequent stops.

This isn’t really an EV topic but a philosophy of life topic: do you plan to have a relaxed time or do you push thru to minimize your metrics. Funny these people seem to end up in couples.

Tho, on the EV topic, my son now borrows the Tesla for roads trips and has discovered that long trips are faster going 65 than 75 or 80 or whatever he was doing because the increased efficiency cuts down on total charge time. He has been showing up to places early. It’s weird.
The best way to address climate change would be to annihilate the human population. Since we're not going to do that (presumably), we have to come up with a practical, viable and acceptable solution.

Altering American culture to love public transportation is significantly less practical than offering them EVs. The only time I can think of that a campaign like that might have worked is with smoking and how many decades did that take (and how many people still smoke anyway)?
I recently had issues with AMD's RX580 GPU, where the latest drivers would cause issues for me when trying to run VR games with an Oculus Quest (either SteamVR or the Meta OpenXR implementation). I'd play the game for about 10-40 minutes and then it would crash, the drivers would reset, the screen would go black in the middle for a bit and the OS would make an attempt to recover (which didn't always work).

In the end, turns out that the version of AMD Software and their included drivers from 2023 didn't work and I had to revert to an older version. I ended up going for their 2020 AMD Pro drivers and software because the card is from 2018 and the improvement was immediate - I haven't had a single crash since, whereas previously I could reproduce it 100% of the time, with only the time before the crash varying. Note: this is on Windows 10, which I boot into for gaming, though I actually like their AMD Software which feels a bit better than CoreCtrl on Linux distros.

Some people suggested that 2022 drivers/software would also work, but this is one of those cases where the hardware technically gets updates, but they actually make things worse, perhaps because the older hardware is not tested against as much, especially with newer games and programs. I don't necessarily expect anyone to care that much about hardware from 2018, it was just an interesting case of things going wrong.

Overall, I like AMD because they're affordable (still running a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU on my main workstation and it does everything I need) and decent, and perhaps the driver situation on Linux is a bit better than Nvidia's, but then again I also like Intel's attempts with Arc, except that Nvidia still wins out because of CUDA for a lot of workloads (I never managed to get ROCm working locally well for running LLM's and DKIM kicked my butt, needing to compile stuff after every apt upgrade).

Oh well, here's hoping that we keep getting lots of options for hardware, software and that the market competition stays alive and well, so I can enjoy affordable last gen options with most of the issues patched out a few years down the line as well, when I decide to upgrade on the cheap. But also even in regards to entertainment like gaming things are getting better thanks to Proton. I look forwards to the day when I can 100% switch over to Linux.

My homelab servers already run Debian/Ubuntu with AMDs 200GE CPUs, which I got for dirt cheap and which have relatively low TDP (35W) while still giving me access to x86, which I can passively cool.
>> Why is it not compulsory to release the source code from day 1? If you're making a driver it's because you're selling hardware, that's where your profit and value is. Commingling the two leads to perverse incentives and conflicts of interest.

> Because if I can rewrite my printer to not intentionally be a total piece of shit, the company gets less money by intentionally expiring or wasting ink, DRM locking ink cartridge brands, or "service needed" bricking the device after a period of time.

That sounds exactly like the "perverse incentives and conflicts of interest" that the parent comment mentioned. I don't think they're asking why it isn't required now, but why it _shouldn't_ be required. What you're saying sounds more compelling as an argument in favor of what they propose, not in favor of the status quo.
You’re right, though I suspect you could increase that “max” current figure quite substantially if we’re assuming this is an underwater ROV and the wire has water cooling for free. You’d need to be pumping a whopping 300A/mm^2 through that wire to match the 150W fiber, though, so your conclusion isn’t affected.

Also, your calculation is for equivalent diameters. If mass was more important then, well, the fiber is 1/3 the density of copper…

I suffer from extreme time blindness and one apparent solution to this is to have a regular metronome like pulse - I would love an app for say a smart watch or something that did this with vibrations!
Is there OpSec better than my local doctor or hospital? I feel like I hear about ransomware attacks on hospitals every week.

Actually if you are of a certain age, you might have been in an era where providing extra information to HR was commonplace. I think for my first job I just filled out my bank account info on paper and did not interact with any payroll software at all.

But I don't remember being asked about DEI information, I am not sure they cared back then.
It has always been “an imperative code that outputs the declarative configuration that can be used for the build”. Which is a very reasonable thing to do, but unfortunately most people fail to understand that a println in the config file’s global scope is different than inside a closure for a task description.

Sure, a fancy calculator that supports rather efficient execution on ridiculously large machine farms. What some people might call the implementation language for a database engine.
Artificial Intelligence vs. Truckers and Writers
I don’t know about databases but I’ve done similar with testing interactive web apps and it works quite well. When your architecture supports it, at least.

Essentially a hidden field on the page that tracks interactions and outstanding Ajax calls. When you assert that a field on the page hasn’t changed, you need to know that it’s not still in the process of painting. And just waiting “long enough” makes for very slow testing overall.
At Airbnb we are implementing translation serving on top of Sparkey; part of our Ruby system open sourced here: https://github.com/airbnb/hammerspace

The way the system worked (iirc it’s been a while): we’d periodically dump all the translation strings from our translation editor app (MySQL backed) into a sparkey S3 path, and use a Kubernetes daemonset to fetch the sparkey file to each host in the cluster. Finally application pods written in any language use a host volume to read translation strings from the local sparkey file. Certainly overkill for smaller apps but with a bunch of services and hundreds of thousands of translation strings, the out of band updates are well worth it and keep the app container small.
The crypto isn't complicated. What makes it complicated is the 10,000 different use cases they want the solution to work for, rather than one solution per use case, and a loose coupling interface for all of them.
Meanwhile the US court system moves so slowly that a man facing multiple federal charges will be able to run for president later this year.

> So you are happy for all international goods to get more expensive?

I've heard a maybe 3-4% increase in cost of shipping for going around the long way around (around Africa).

There's just not many people & in spite of their scale these cargo ships are remarkably efficient (by weight) means of transport.

The cost of shipping seems a vanishingly marginal issue here.
As do you with your relentless, unserious comments.
What I think incredible, is that 20 years CPUs may not be able to run the latest client software but are still powerful enough for a lot of tasks. You probably don't need anything more fancy than this to a lot of industrial machinery for example.

BLAS is getting almost exactly 100% of the theoretical peak performance of my machine (CPU frequncy * 2 fmadd/cycle * 8 lanes * 2 ops/lane), it's not slow. I mean, just look at the profiler output...

It's easy and could be just how other companies with great security practices (like google) can tell you when they find your password in a password dump.

Imagine you are a company with great password practices, how would you tell that a user re-used a password that was exposed in some other data breach without you being able to generally know what a user's password is? Well, of course, it's the same way that you verify their password when they login. You track (or more likely in this case, adhoc check) data breaches, when you find a matched email in the breach with one of your users, you check if the password from the breach would allow that user to login.
Much like the original post, the construction industry has an intimate understanding of the pricing of the plain box as a 'standard' and the non-plain box as a 'premium / luxury'. The resulting environment expresses bland uniformity as a standard cost and unqiueness as high-specialty luxury.

Agree but everything is obviously relative to people’s situation and no perfect rule.

Location, state property taxes, share the car or not, do they already have loan on another new car, new home owners or not, current net worth, age/retirement goal, kids, kids in daycare, etc…

$300k AGI can get eaten ridiculously quick. Hence why I think an EV is too expensive for most.
Massive web corporations flush with stock market cash acquired startups for billions of dollars, like rich brats that wanted a cool new toy, but then quickly got tired of it and threw it away.

Would this have been a higher raise amount if the "google has no moat, and neither does anyone else" leak hadn't happened?

Surely personal data is again the moat and we should all be saving our chats privately so some trusted next gen LLM can pin point any holes in our thinking later. I just wonder after using pplx so much myself if we will regret giving any for-profit chatbots that much sway over us.

But the vast majority do have driveways. In my WWI era neighborhood designed for horse-and buggies and later streetcars (must have been nice), nearly every 100 year old house has a driveway (carved from the 8-10 foot wide gap between the houses) and half of them have EVs in them. Most post-war suburban American single family homes have far more space than that for driveways for EV charging.
I don’t and am not. But suggesting that mosquitoes communicate about purpose and mortality is silly

I would be be shocked if there aren't huge loopholes in GINA or they weren't doing this under the table. Like you sprinkle some derivatives of GI into your huge model and then "our model assesses that risk XYZ is likely..." without ever mentioning GI to the customer.

Our main healthcare "privacy" law in US, HIPAA, is structured to protect insurance firms' right to our private health data (while otherwise sensibly restricting access to it). It is not a given that private finance firms ought to have legally protected, virtually exclusive access to our sensitive health information, but they do in America. Facts like this make me skeptical that GINA was written and is enforced in good faith.
Why would that be a trillion dollar revolution?
Honestly for me that's almost beside the point, the fundamental challenge with lab grown meat is cost. You need close to sterile conditions, you need a viable, cheap, presumably vegan growth media, you need seriously skilled technicians... and this is all in competition with rearing livestock. You don't need people with PhD's to raise cattle or chickens, you don't need sterile conditions, and the many challenges involved in livestock have been explored by all of humanity for thousands of years. Even more with corporate, large-scale operations, the efficiencies of scale are enormous.

How on Earth anyone thought that lab-grown could compete with that, when price matters so much to people, blows my mind. Sure there are some vegans and some relatively well-off people who might be interested, but that's not a scale that matters.

Then you have to ask about the taste, texture, and nutritional value... none of which appear to be a good match yet.
Just to add some context, have a look at the memory systems in https://aithought.com/ Creating a model of that might be a fun experiment, at the moment often agents sit in stasis waiting for interaction or new information, humans live in a continuum, so for an agent to be useful, it might need to 'experience' time in order to have direction and agency.
