The way I see it (and the way I see all OpenRTB advertising) is that we are helping to give a competitive edge to smaller, more independent sites so that they can survive against huge corporations like Amazon. Without higher yield advertising, independent publishers and new organizations can't survive and ecommerce sites can't compete. Unless people start paying for subscriptions to certain services or choosing to utilize smaller businesses at a higher cost and slower delivery times (which they will do neither of willingly), the open advertising system is the financial engine which keeps the internet from consolidating into a walled garden of just a handful of sites.
The American & European auto industries have led us to $50-70K electric cars and trucks with shoddy manufacturing, falsely advertised range, months-long wait times and dealership markups, expensive maintenance and repairs and shit like seat heating subscriptions on top. If China is succeeding it's because customers desperately want reasonable alternatives.

If BYD shows up stateside with a 25-50% discount over Tesla and other premium manufacturers for similar quality and features (like they do in Australia and elsewhere), I will be first in line.
Of course not all Russians share this sentiment. There are people, of whom many have by now emigrated, who are against Russian government genocidal actions and there is large part of people who are either ignorant or indifferent.
One unexpected consequence is the behavior around negative zero. For example:

var d = -0.0

is different than

var d = 0.0
d = -d

This IMO crosses the line into "outright bug" territory.

If you own a business Germany is decidedly not a good place to live due to the tax burden and the bureaucracy.

CFC & management and control rules will make any company owned by you essentially a German company and you’ll have to be rectally examined by Finanszamt quite often.
Nuclear is definitely part of the mix we need, but we can easily do multiple things.

For one thing, it's neither limitless nor free - the limit is the amount of radioactive ore we mine, and the cost is the cost of setting up a plant, running it, mining the ore, purifying it, transporting it,... The cost of nuclear is actually pretty high. I'm not talking about safety except that the cost factors in both passive and active safety mechanisms. And, they take _forever_ to build and bring to operation.

On the other hand, the price of solar (even without subsidy) is already cost competitive with _coal_ leave alone nuclear.[1] But it's intermittent, and batteries like the article are expensive.

So, the question is not either this or that, but what's the right mix...

Cars in the US also tend to be much larger, to such a degree that the average US vehicle has equal or more kinetic energy at 70mph than its German counterpart at 78mph. Anyway, there are a lot of factors. My only objection in this thread is to the innumeracy of saying "autobahn mumble handwave".
Ah yes, we evolved eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day 24/7/365 over millions of years. So sad that the chicken nugget tree went extinct.
> can we show your production average latency comparies to other applications?

This is pretty standard: many companies explicitly add contract language to NOT be included in these benchmarks. The reasons should be obvious, offering these benchmarks on increasingly narrow segments walks right up to betraying competitive information.

I'd think this depends heavily on the subject. Someone asking about fundamental math and physics is likely to get the same answer now as 50 years from now. Immigration law and policy can change quickly and answers from 5 years ago may no longer present accurate information.
One side effect (heh) of those, at least in the US: If my doctor orders a colonoscopy, then the insurance covers it. But if he orders one of these tests and it indicates that I need a colonoscopy, then I pay for the colonoscopy.

Note that this may vary, depending on your insurance...
Managers will never be honest. Managers are modern practitioners of Taylorism(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management). They have to see you as a number and a resource in order to do their jobs and fit in the hierarchy. Thats why you never trust them and always reverse manage them.

I think a big part of the problem is that internet is also full of him generated dog shit. At some point it became necessary to write a couple of pages about your vacation to Tuscany before dropping the promised recipe to avoid being penalized by google.
Now there is now guarantee that the intro filler will ever end or that the eventual recipe will even be something that is desirable or safe to consume.
Unfortunately people who like small cars are a minority. Most people want whatever is the current fad, and small cars are out. I do not know how to change this. (come to think of it, even though I prefer small cars I drive a large truck because once in a while I need a truck and I don't drive enough to justify two vehicles)
all i see on the website is a download link and an animated screenshot, both of which are also on the github page along with a lot of other information. i even opened it up in incognito mode to see if one of my extensions was blocking stuff, but no, it really does look like a superminimal site to me.

I don't see why a torque wrench needs to receive firmware updates if it has no connectivity whatsoever. It's a wrench. It has to tighten nuts according to a torque value selected via the keyboard. What could an update possibly do to make it perform this one task better?

What are you on about? I'm arguing there were ways to solve the problem that didn't involve the tool connecting to the Internet. I don't need to show that my solution is better, because that has nothing to do with what I'm saying. And either way there's no "better" here. There's no objective measure of goodness. What's better to me and what's better to Bosch are not necessarily the same, and in fact they obviously aren't, as I never would have designed a tool this way, but then I don't have a tool manufacturing company.
> Yeah. My company is in principle set 2, in practice set 1. But even so, I’m on a team where almost half of us are fully remote or working out of other offices and so don’t go in on our “dedicated in office days”. I stopped going in on those days too because it felt pointless.

Same. Essentially an open secret that most folks aren't going in at all, or if so, 1 of 2 days.
Two of the big reasons are to keep code clean and security. Reference the latest linux kernels, and how they achieved most of their performance increases (hint they removed old code and simplified the codepaths). The second reason is to prevent it's use. It is not just good enough to consider the "happy path." There are unhappy paths where an adversary is able to make use of these abilities. When the aggregate unhappy paths overwhelm the single happy path, it's time to bite the bullet.
You’re missing a huge point: there’s a ton of devs that went into react bootcamp or whatever. Building a 50 person team on a technology that isn’t widely used or heavily supported by Google/Adobe/Microsoft is a huge hurdle. Even Typescript isn’t really used correctly, people basically use ts-lint on a lot of projects I see. For large companies they will also turn projects into BAU (business as usual) where the pressure is to push down costs and move it overseas. Finding a large overseas team on htmx at React prices will be difficult.

Typescript is popular because people don’t use it a lot, and it doesn’t break things.

If you’re introducing something new the bar is incredibly high to be obvious as to why to switch.

Oh. So you constructed your site to make this distinction unclear, and then paid for an AI generated article to be put on your site.

I guess that makes it alright then. Nothing needs to change.

I was travelling in Latin America (Costa Rica) recently and was surprised by the number of chinese brands (Cherry etc) that were on the streets.
I just did a demo this week for someone who asked how well GPT4 would write forum replies in their voice. The results were startling to be honest. The only way I would (maybe) tell the comments were AI is that they were slightly better quality replies than the author themselves would have written.

I wouldn't go forward with it because it felt unethical, but it was a really fascinating thought experiment.

I've been hosting meetups online and in person since 2014 and launched a new one that meets monthly in the Southeast US in 2021. It's grown from 5 people to 45. We usually get 20-25 people per meetup nowadays. In person.

I suggest you check out Eventbrite. Events with up to 25 tickets are free to publish. If you want to offer more tickets for an event, you can pay a one-time fee or sign up for the monthly subscription.

If you are just testing the waters for your meetup you could run it for free with less than 25 tickets and see if there is interest without putting any money down.

You would still need to promote the event where people you are targeting hang out. Social media, forums, town subreddits, etc
It's crazy to think about the amount on insight outlook's data collection must provide on the inner workings of so many companies across so many different industries, even their own competitors. There's no way Microsoft isn't at least trying to use that data for their own benefit, yet somehow the company is still such a mess.

Companies just blindly trust MS with their data and even force their employees to hand their personal data over in the process. I've pushed for my company to stop leaking so much company/employee/customer data to MS, but as long as the corporation doesn't personally experience how that data is being used/abused and they aren't being fined or hauled into court over it I doubt much will change.
There's lots of ways to ensure security aside from at the protocol level, and DSA helps with compatibility, so this just seems like a bad idea to me. I don't think anybody was really accidentally using DSA not understanding the implications.
Yeah, I can buy that. The enquiry even today was discussing how some postmasters were forced to agree not to blame Horizon in return for reduced charges. If that's the mentality then it absolutely fits.

Presumably those people potentially faced contempt of court charges if they continued to blame the system.
Yep. When I get upgraded to an SUV I exchange it for something along the lines of the car I had originally reserved. I've asked them to put something in my file saying "don't upgrade to SUV" but it appears beyond the capabilities of their system.
> You no longer have to hire a copywriter, as many SEO spammers used to do.

I used to do SEO copywriting in high school and yeah, ChatGPT's output is pretty much at the level of what I was producing (primarily, use certain keywords, secondarily, write a surface-level informative article tangential to what you want to sell to the customer).

> At some point it may become impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I think over time there could be a weird eddy-like effect to AI intelligence. Today you can ask ChatGPT a Stack Overflow-style and get a Stack Overflow-style response instantly (complete with taking a bit of a gamble on whether it's true and accurate). Hooray for increased productivity?

But then, looking forward years in time, people start leaning more heavily on that and stop posting to Stack Overflow and the well of information for AI to train on starts to dry up, instead becoming a loop of sometimes-correct goop. Maybe that becomes a problem as technology evolves? Or maybe they train on technical documentation at that point?
Same here in Costa Rica. BYD and Geely is everywhere. Tesla's are very rare. Chinese car makers are killing it here.
Yeah I think I agree with that. I'm skeptical of fasting outside of a specific tradition and guidance. But don't like to see the value of those traditions dismissed either.
I tried renting an EV from Hertz a couple months ago. I reserved a Model Y. They waited until the morning of to call me and tell me they didn't have one for me. Said they might have a model 3 (but not the model Y I reserved) 3-4 hours passed my reserved pickup time. I waited an hour or two, then found a model y on Turo that got the job done. Then Hertz tried to charged me for cancelling... they did fix that but I was furious when I saw it going pending on my card.

I'm going to avoid Hertz from here on out as much as possible. Especially if I want an EV. Perhaps the problem isn't Tesla, but Hertz. At least based on my experience, that's what it was.
Tesla demoed a battery swap in one of the early keynotes. But I can see the infra being much harder than just charging, as well as restricting the subsequent car design.

Maybe the timing is much better now that the EV design has settled a bit. Looks like Nio got to a good number of stations so far [1]

Sounds more like google search has gone to dog shit. But a lot of the internet has as well, but it's been happening before AI has become mainstream, I blame walled gardens like linkedin and facebook, as well as signup and paywall blocks.
Yeah I get that distance issue. At least I’m in Wilmington when I visit family there so I’ll see what’s over in Burlington next time I’m out. I recall going to a devops meetup at Datadog when they first opened their doors in Boston. It was a nice change-up from all the ones run by consulting partner firms.
Unlikely. Some people really just are better at low level than high level (and vice versa.) Further, I would say anyone who started after say... '97 never needed to have that layer, and '87 may be true too. The true pressure hasn't existed in over 25 years and yet we still have low level expertise because embedded will continue to be a use case.
The last time I needed to rent a car, I seriously considered renting an EV. I find them more pleasant to drive, my usage could have been accomplished on a single charge, and Hertz doesn’t penalize you for returning a discharged EV like they do for returning a gas car on an empty tank, so it would have saved me having to find a gas station near the airport on my way out of town.

But they wanted more than twice as much for a model 3 than any other compact sedan, so I ended up with a gas powered Kia instead.

I think in this context people are more referring to country of origin in terms of culture, engineering, and operations. Not just the financial side of the fence.
A company is not your friend, or your enemy. It's a machine. See it as such, use it as such.

A particular person above you in the management chain may actually be your friend. It does not mean that that person would be able to protect you from a layoff; that could be a conflict of interest. That person might give you an earlier warning so that you could start looking around ahead of time. That person could give you a glowing review and references for prospective employers. That person might introduce you to someone who might be interested in hiring you. But that person operates the machine, and plays by the rules of the machine, to which you have agreed when you have signed your offer.

Build good relationships with coworkers; this can be helpful, and is just more pleasant. But don't try to build a relationship with a company; you can't.
I watched this a while ago and thought I’m clearly too dumb to work at Google because I’m not going to come up with convex hull algorithms in an interview room.
That's always been the case. Surely you didn't used to trust random information? Ask any schoolteacher how to decide what to trust on the internet at any point in time. They're not going to say "If it's at the top of Google results" or "If it's a well-designed website", or "If it seems legit".

I think it would be fairly easy to find evidence of directly linked survival -> passing on risk. There haven't been so many generations with modern (cancer) medicine that you couldn't trace whether many folks getting cancer young had recent ancestors who survived getting cancer young because of modern medicine.

On the other hand, if there's significant overlap between all the historical causes of infant/small child mortality that we've eliminated over centuries, and susceptibility to early cancer, that would be much harder to identify.
This is true of ChatGPT 4 with the default prompt maybe but that’s just the way it responds after being given its specific corporate friendly disclaimer heavy instructions. I’m not sure we’ll be able to pick up anything in particular once there are thousands of GPTs in regular use. Which could be already.

But I agree we will probably very often recognise 2023 GPT4 defaults.
If you have no problem using an obviated algorithm why is there suddenly a problem using an obviated ssh? These complaints almost beggar belief.

This is due to high body damage repair costs and has nothing to do with repairing an electric powertrain:

>Let me share a bit more context on the damage equation. First, while conventional maintenance on electric vehicles remained lower relative to comparable ICE vehicles in Q3, higher collision and damage repairs on EVs continue to weigh on our results and negatively impacted EBITDA. For context, collision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle. Second, where a car is salvaged, we must crystallize at once any difference between our carrying value and the market value of that car. The MSRP declines in EVs over the course of 2023, driven primarily by Tesla have driven the fair market value of our EVs lower as compared to last year, such that a salvage creates a larger loss and, therefore, greater burden.

People pay for lots of social gathering type places - community centers, libraries, gyms, clubs and such. But they only do so if the prices are reasonable. And prices are usually reasonable because the club in question is not trying to grow till it takes over the world. It is a roughly fixed size place, where subscription fees pay for keeping the place running.

The cost of running most social media is only about a $1/year (yes year not month) [1]. Social media companies when they want to charge $50-100/year. People are not stupid. Why would they pay more than $2/year.

My reasoning is, there's topics where I don't bother to go to google anymore because I know the results will be crap. That way google loses any way to show me ads when I'm searching for these topics, or get paid for click-throughs, or to profile my interests as accurately as they could otherwise.

There's categories of products where I spend money regularly, but I go directly to category-specific sites so google again loses out on the ability to take their cut as middleman, which I'd happily let them take - and maybe discover vendors other than the ones I know - if they provided me with higher-quality results than they do now.
