I don't think it will be effective. The root cause is not PE, but human nature: greed, complacency, myopia, and etc. We can outlaw PE, but Boeing can simply invent another way to maximize their profit at the cost of product quality. It looks to me the only cure is to encourage competitors, so that long before Boeing becomes this rotting organization, their talented employees can join another competitor to beat the shit of Boeing. Unfortunately there's so much regulatory capture and intertwined interests between Boeing and governments that I don't think we will see any meaningful competition for years to come.

Even if autonomous trucks managed to handle digital logging they'll still get stopped for inspection due to weather, traffic, and load size. The rear tandem adjustment takes place on the trailer and is mandatory for safe operation so, youre building autonomous trailers too (no one is).

> Yes, because companies need labor.

Companies need some labour, sure. But they can absolutely do things like hiring 10% more or 10% less, bringing a layoff forward a few months or pushing it back.

> When you shed labor during poor economic conditions, it is not collusion, even if they, hypothetically, "colluded" to do it.

> When a bunch of people see that a stock is crashing and decide to pull out together, it is not stock manipulation. It is a rational decision.

That's backwards logic. If a bunch of people agree to sell a stock at the same time so that none of them are left holding the bag, that is stock manipulation, even if they sold at a time when it was "rational" to sell. The fact that companies can act as a de-facto cartel without the kind of explicit coordination that our current anaemic anti-trust regime might punish is an argument for stronger anti-trust laws, not for ignoring the cases when we do catch them red-handed.
I feel like the problem with the current EV offerings is they are basically higher end cars with repair bills you'd expect. Not like a lower end commuter car. I also think the race to add more and more features to cars means the cost of repairs for anything non legacy is higher than people might assume. As in older trucks were easy and cheap to repair. And that is no longer true at all.
Anecdotal: I've heard that in Europe EM emissions directives have exceptions for microwave ovens, because without the exceptions none of them would pass the tests and make it to market.

You need at least a minute to get into the context and have full situational awareness, to imagine what it would be like as a remote driver with less lead time than that, think about a scenario where you suddenly wake up with your hands on the wheel, with no idea where you are and no idea what's going on, except the situation is probably bad.

A translation engine between natural language and SQL means that everyone can communicate with a SQL database now. That's huge. Soon also DB people will use it to get the response for complex questions and queries. It's just more natural and way faster.

With technology like this, there is little reason to even know SQL anymore as the average developer. Just like today, the average developer doesn't know how databases work because the cloud takes care of it. We're moving up on the abstraction ladder and tomorrow all you need to know for SQL is to ask the right question.

Ivy leagues have never been about finding the highest performers or potential; they’ve always been about giving rich kids the opportunity to network with other rich kids.

Romex is grand at audio frequencies but what's even better is just sticking the amplifier in the speaker.

What you get from vanilla integrated speakers today is something that would have cost tens of thousands in the 90s and would not have been available in the 70s: dedicated amplifiers for each speaker element, with electronic crossovers and, if you want it, room correction.
> so it's totally normal to have a NixOS build with multimedia apps, games, etc

Every time I try NixOS on a desktop with anything more complex than setting a couple flags (writing some derivations to work around the broken software, managing my dotfiles etc), my configuration ends up as an unholy mix of weird Nix trickery, FHS paths in a non-FHS environment, and foreign config includes. It's like writing (programming) your Emacs config by patching the existing one with a Python script, for twice the fun. Of course it also needs to be versioned and documented to keep track of it, otherwise what's the point.

I can't help but think that the Arch approach (make the system management transparent, close and personal, and ignore the burning trashcan) is infinitely easier for personal usage than the Nix approach (describe everything with an additional layer of indirection). It's probably the opposite for huge deployments, of course.
Right. Boeing picked right and Airbus picked wrong. But was that better judgement or just a lucky guess?
The single most challenging issue in conversations about these topics is the role of time in the electricity sector's design process.

The average home car charger is the largest consumer of power in a household, often by as much as 2x - 3x the next largest device. That next largest device is often a heat pump, radiant heat or electric stove. Calculations for the grid as a whole ignore the fact that there are local and regional capacity bottlenecks, where meeting demand becomes a problem and the solution requires years of planning.

The feeder running along my street assumes a maximum power at each house of 10 kW and that 33% of houses consume that peak power at the same time. Imagine now if all houses added a 7 kW car charger, all charging during the night, every night. That is the havoc i refer to.

One could argue traffic light was the first “smart” feature added to roads. Why do we continue to have costly high way accidents in 2024? Massive pile ups can be minimized and even avoided.
There's been a rail line there for a century. It's just being improved. It's the port facilities that need major expansion.

For example, within the context window giving it 5 examples of a problem in a class it has never seen, with answers, and then asking it to solve a sixth was given as one of the amazing few-shot learning examples.

It could potentially do similar searching by the internet for similar things to your question and then figuring out how to derive the answer, without finding an exact answer match directly.
They can happen at the same time. Especially with programs encouraging people to build their own solar. I did that and at least in the summer months cover 90% of my power usage. Winter is more of an issue but this doesn't need to be in a bunch of discrete ordered steps.

In my experience, they’ve improved massively over the last few years.

Most of the time, the docs directly explain how to solve some problem I have while also giving good context. I recently was messing with my boot loader and the docs were perfect
“Reminders” is better for things like shared shopping lists (not to say Notes shouldn’t be working better for you for this use case, but Reminders is another option that’s specifically for that kind of use case)

Maybe on the surface (pun intended) it appears stupidly expensive in comparison, but I bet if you actually put a value to all of the positives then the cost would at minimum be at par.

With tunnels you can also go 3D, you could go 100 tunnels deep - stacked - increasing capacity on the same line as needed; something Elon points out as part of the traffic congestion problem is that cities went 3D (skyscrapers) but traffic did not.
Every time we get an article about EVs we get commenters here who just like to list the pitfalls, every time, over and over. It's pretty boring. No-body is forcing anyone to buy an EV (yet), so each of us can decide on the merits.

I would love to have one, but I cannot afford one. Well, I could, I could easily get finance, but I wouldn't do it. I think if you live in the US, the way people on HN talk about cars, they must be cheaper there, finance is cheaper and wages are higher, such that you can just get a new one rather than making an agonising decision over months, even years.

We're just about to replace our 15 year old car with a 4 year old 7 seater because the kids are fighting over space in the back too often. There was 1 EV on the market with enough space (as an aside, all newer cars have less space across the width because of more safety features in the doors) and it's 2.5x my budget. A new hybrid is 1.7x my budget. You can buy a hell of a lot of petrol in that price difference, more than we'll use in 10 years of driving. So we'll keep this one until some of our offspring have left and the next car might hopefully be an EV.
2C-B is one of the few drugs on my "want to try" list. I imagine I won't see a reliably uncontaminated version in my lifetime though.
> Incidentally, that also sold a shit-ton of 737 MAX. Maybe not the best metric to choose.

You have to think about the difference between narrow and wide bodies.

Yes they sold many 737 MAXs but not compared to Airbus narrow bodies.

> Missed the market by so much, they are pulling the A380s out of storage.

Sure. Nice for them. But that doesn't change anything for Airbus, they are not gone sell more of them. There was never a question if A380 would go away competently, its the right aircraft for many airlines.

Lets be real, Airbus sold 250 A380 and is never gone build more. Boeing sold 1800 787s and will sell many more. Its not really a competition what was the better investment.

> The A350 _is_ the perfect competitor. The two planes are, by their design, not competing in the same segments.

Sure if you don't understand the industry.

The very biggest 787 is slightly competitive with the smallest A350. But that is not the focus of either of those planes design.

Airbus deliberately did not build a 787 competitor, they believed the market would would already be mostly captured. So they build a competitor to the 777 instead, with the goal of replacing older wide bodies like the 777, 747 and 380.

The A330 NEO is the more direct competitor to the 787 core business.
Then we need to stop rewarding people for going to those schools.
Even in the US you can quickly get to sw eng level after a few years in the trades, which are booming right now

And bonus, it’s a direct step from there to starting your own business in that trade then making way more

Of course you could start a software agency too but the competition is way more cutthroat
Correct. For fork PR workflows on the pull_request trigger the GITHUB_TOKEN has read only permissions, so you can’t do anything with it.

The key thing with a non-ephemeral runner is that (after obtaining persistence) you can grab the GITHUB_TOKEN from a subsequent non-fork PR build or a build on another trigger, which will have write permissions unless restricted by the repository maintainers.

What’s funny is SQL was supposed to be the natural language everyone uses to communicate with. Few bothered to learn it.
"Cars are getting too big; why are manufacturers pushing “crossovers” and SUVs on consumers and why are consumers buying them? I could write pages on this point alone."

Because when you talk about safety, concerns about environment steps a side. Basic argument that greenwashing is another level of marketing for consumers.

Long-haul trucking is potentially easier but we already have a great system for delivering large amounts of cargo along fixed, guided pathways. The only problems that making it run on roads instead of rails solves is political - the US is allergic to owning and funding rails but will happily dump tens of billions into its government-owned roads every year.

Short-haul trucking (in-city delivery etc) is where the value is in having agile, self-driving vehicles moving cargo away from supply points… but it’s also the hardest to implement because there are so many dynamic elements in city driving. And largely these light delivery vehicles are already being electrified where it makes sense (UPS, USPS, etc). You are mostly talking about it any advantage coming from removing a human, not the act of rolling electric vehicles into it like taxis where it’s primarily disrupting internal combustion with electric.

Also, any system is eventually going to be utilized at its full capacity. The number of vehicles supervised per agent will increase until the average number of incidents at any one time meets the average number of agents, or beyond, until there is a regulation. Capitalism is a cost optimizer and no cost will ever go unsqueezed - much like the internet is designed to route around network damage, capitalism is designed to route around any such inefficiency as morals or safety standards until otherwise compelled by regulation.
I think it is more useful to go by energy cost ratios.

A while back I did the math for Chevy Bolt vs an ICE car that gets 39 mpg.

The results were charging the Bolt would be cheaper per mile than filling the ICE car whenever G/E > 9.4, where G is the price of a gallon of gas and E is the cost of a kW of electricity.
This is a good idea. I think what you'd want to do is override the generate_sql function and store the question with the "related" metadata and the generated sql somewhere:

https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna/blob/main/src/vanna/base/b...

We're going to be adding a generic logging function soon and fairly soon what you're talking about could just be a custom logger.
I guess you want sometging like this:

[[prices.agegroup]]
min = 60
max = 120

modificator = 1.5
Thank you, it's good advice. I also have a problem where current job is easy, but requires almost nothing. The lack of work makes me anxious and they've been laying people off in the company.
Saying “black lives matter” is not inherently bad. Saying “black lives matter” while disagreeing with “all lives matter” is bad.
Last years Xbox leak revealed that Microsoft was at least considering switching to ARM for the next Xbox generation, though regardless of the CPU architecture they chose they indicated they were sticking with AMD for the GPU. It will be interesting to see how that shakes out, going to ARM would complicate backwards compatibility so they would need a very good reason to move.
Racial slurs don't always say a person is not a person, I can only think of one that has that implication. They mostly mock a person's choices and behavior by associating them with stereotypes implied by the slur.
Author of the package here. Yes, this is a very common use case.
Stop being moronic. Different transportation mediums exist for a reason. Trains in the US are currently suited for long haul transportation at which they excel at. We already tried running rail lines to warehouses and distribution centers and determined trucks were a better form of last mile transportation.

Do you think that no one at UPS, FedEx, Walmart or Amazon has ever looked at how much more efficient or what cost saving they could get if "only they had a rail line to their warehouses verse a road?"

What the discussion is looking at is making a micro improvement to what we have already tested as the better method of delivery, trucks in this case. Where the issue is coming about is we are trying to build autonomous actions into a hybrid roadway verse dedicating a portion of a roadway to autonomous driving. The article states the following:

"Trucking was supposed to be the ideal first application of autonomous driving. Freeways contain predictable, highly structured driving
scenarios"

When sharing the road with human drivers this statement makes no sense as all. Vehicle's are their own entities with no connection to each other outside of the road, signage and defined lanes.
