Texas’ problem was not really the fact that you can print them easily, but the fact that you could produce “legitimate” ones without any verification whatsoever that the car actually existed. The DPS also had some limitations in what they could do enforce anything for several years which made the problem worse (legislative red tape). So all these tags were actual legitimate tags that showed up in a legit tag database, they just never were real cars that corresponded to sales. So even something like a license plate reader wouldn’t have caught these.

Although I will say anything that a layman producing with a printer that has value is always going to have a counterfeit risk. It just wasn’t counterfeit in the typical sense here.

Going rate for a nanny is about $25/hour or about $4000-5000/month in the Bay Area, so yes, it was roughly the same price. I know many, many Googler families with daytime nannies, night nannies, multiple nannies, etc.

The two main things you got with the in-house daycare was a.) consistency and b.) convenience. I have a teammate whose kid went through the Google daycare; she said that at the time (over a decade ago now), it really was quite high quality, and because the caretakers were in-house employees of Google, they had passed the same high bar as the rest of Google employees. (I've also heard that this - like many other things about Google - has gone downhill in recent years, and that people whose kids went through post-COVID dealt with high staff turnover and inadequate care.) Meanwhile, almost everybody I know who uses nannies for full-time care has had horror stories about finding a reliable nanny. Some are flakes who don't show up to work; some seem to have perpetual car trouble; some are neglectful; some always have their boyfriend come over and spend more time with him than the kids; some get fired for putting the kids in danger. Nannies are not licensed, unlike daycares. It's very much parent-beware, and a lot of people don't have time to search for a good nanny, hire them, and monitor them to make sure their kids will be safe.

There's also just a convenience benefit from having your kid on-site. You can share commutes; you can use the carpool lane; your schedules are identical; you can pick up your kid in a blink if they get sick; you know they're always close; you don't need to coordinate logistics with a nanny; your time schedules will overlay; and so on.

FWIW the Ford F-150 promises 300 miles but gets around 278 — and 210 if it is loaded with 1,400 lbs

It also weighs 3 tons which is probably the main factor. A Model 3 towing 1 ton will barely get 100 miles range.

That said, despite the boxy look, the Cybertruck has a respectable 0.34 aerodynamic coefficient, not far from 90s sedans.
Japan's first-ever soft lunar landing with SLIM spacecraft [video]
A few months ago a former Navy guy mentioned to me that you can tell if your pilot is Navy or Air Force by the landing. Air Force pilots will come in nice and smooth, but Navy pilots, having been trained to land on carriers, will hit hard.

I don’t know if there is truth to that, but if so, I’ve definitely had more than a few Navy pilots.
It's actually a pretty tricky situation, often called the Paradox of Tolerance.

Presumably you'd not be in favor of censoring somebody merely for disagreeing with you on a political topic.

But what if those political views and stated goal was to remove your right to vote in democracy? Obviously you'd speak up against that view with your own voice, but what if that's not enough? Do you just cross your fingers and hope they don't get enough traction?

What if escalates even more, what if they actively want to impose the death penalty on you, and have the state execute you? Would you actively fight against censorship of the people whoms stated goal is to have you dead? Would you call people evil fascists if they wanted to censor those who want actively want them dead?

For a lot of people, these aren't hypothetical. It actually has happened before in history 77 years ago in Nazi Germany, and it's hopelessly naive to think that it's just impossible for something similar to ever happen again. There is a sizable part of the world who thinks that gay people deserve the death penalty for being gay, right now, today.

Yeah, that's fair; I enjoy VR gaming, but it's not really where my interest lies (outside of hanging with friends in VRChat). That being said, it definitely has potential for immersion for what the reviews have said - it just may not be the most interactive immersion :sweat_smile:

I'm much more enthused about the future of computing; I've wanted to get away from monitors for a long time now, and this finally feels like the first step towards that in the consumer market.

You are kidding right? There are tons of needs for trucks over long distances.

Case in point: I know of a Minnesotan business with South Dakotan vendors. A trip is only needed once a month.

That’s a “road trip”? The real joke is people who have never used or needed a truck passing judgement on truck owners.
This is an interesting take. Traditionally, I can't think of any instances in which high-end creative work was paid for by a subscription. Hollywood blockbusters were paid for by ticket sales. Great albums by album purchases. Frescos and painings either by selling the paintings or being commissioned on a project-by-project basis. Novels by selling the novels. Creative work has more or less always been gig work.

Microtransactions are a natural extension of this funding mechanism into smaller-scale creative output such as blog posts and ten-minute videos that don't cost anywhere near as much to produce as films and novels.
Regardless of quality of execution, I do think 3D movies are gimmicks because they are mostly (wholly?) there to attract attention and publicity, and are less about the story or characters. I am not saying that any technology applied to movies is a gimmick (e.g. sound, higher resolution, color, etc.). And gimmickry also applies to other devices that weak directors or cinematographers or script writers employ sometimes like contrived plot points, using animals to pull on the heart strings.

Note that I'm not saying that gimmicks cannot be effective. They can and it is a distinction worth keeping in mind.

But in the case of 3D movies I think they are not only gimmicks, but they will also be (commercially and immersively) ineffective compared to a great movie that doesn't rely on that crutch.

They're not just apples and oranges, but apples vs differential equations. They had completely different requirements. Like ROM being sown for Apollo.

You get something completely different if failure is not an option.

But also yes, it is a big leap. NASA bootstrapped the semiconductor industry by buying up most of the world's supply. Without the Apollo program we may only just now have gotten smartphones. (And some people still think it's a waste of money. pff!)
What is the past anyway? If something happened far enough back that all that we have left of it is stories and architecture, what is the reality, as separate from those stories?

It seems like the sort of thing soldiers probably did.

I don't have experience with it myself, but Polylith architecture looks interesting. There you compose services based on shared components. You can start developing it as a monolith, and then extract components to separate services by just changing the interface between components.

But it doesn’t. That’s the whole point.
Yes, it scales up very well.

People upthread are trying to say it scales down badly.
I have heard similar perspectives on this. That folks are moving away from devops and towards platform engineering. The idea being that a platform team reduces the friction to deploy code by building self-serve APIs, libraries, and infrastructure to be used by dev teams.

Even when in teams practicing devops well I have always known at least one or two people who are great developers but they don’t want to know anything about operating systems, sockets, file descriptors, service level objectives and all that. I always found working with them to be challenging.

I’m very much in the, “you wrote it, you run it,” camp.

While platform engineering sounds great I’ve also worked with teams trying this and it has its own trade-offs: as demands on the platform team grow it can take longer to wait for your change requests to be deployed and depending on how ownership at the company works.. it can be frustrating: you could have fixed it yourself and shipped sooner but now you have to live within the constraints set for you by the platform team. You also end up with a development culture that has a hard time understanding service performance objectives.

This can be a great thing for some companies for sure. But I haven’t seen a cure-all for siloing teams. Conway’s Law and all.
> If that was your point, I'm pretty sure everyone missed it. No one is training models as a form of caching their previous responses. They want to improve the quality of responses they haven't generated yet. That's not caching.

So... You didn't read the article of which you're commenting in?

> You said customers don't own the output; they do. I said you made most of it up, and you did.

You don't own it. If I own something, I can do whatever I want with it. This is just like your iPhone. You don't actually own it, because you can only do with it what Apple allows you to do.

> Including your apparent retconning of your original point.

Wow, enjoy your day. Your misunderstanding is, apparently, my "retconning". Maybe read the original piece you're responding to within the thread.
> When I was working on telecom doing interfacing with carriers (e.g T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) on thing that I noticed was how simple was to work with those folks: Ok, this is the standard XML, those are the endpoints, that’s the list of error codes, the rate limit is X requests per second, a bunch of files will be on this FTP at 5AM daily basis, and if you face more than 100ms latency from our side just call this number.

To me, that probably reflects the maturity of the services the carriers provide. And presumably that there's an explicit customer-producer relationship? These things justify the complexity of maintaining a well curated and operated API.

> Working with “product” companies without silos most of the time it’s design by committee, folks that won’t keep the service running wanting to have a say in our payload wanting us to change our overly reliable RabbitMQ to use their Kafka.

If I understand what you're saying, you've experienced platform people telling you what tech to use, without having real skin in the game for operating your services? If so, that sounds very irritating. To me, a truly silo-less approach would not have that.

To the extent that there are platform teams with a say in architecture, I think they should develop requirements around the external characteristics of the deliverable (performance, cost, observability, contract with other teams, etc) and largely leave the implementation concerns to the people developing and running the service.
Sounds like a viable path. Do you have any university or contacts in mind? Perhaps there is a forum where I can post about this?
If you can maintain constant speeds it would be but the only places I drive in that range is in cities where I'm stopping and starting a lot so the wasted energy there dominates. I keep rough track of my mpg each time I fill up (as a sanity check to the calculated MPG my car gives me) and when I take long trips home I easily hit 33-34 mpg while weeks where its mostly short trips in the city I usually get more around 28 or lower. And those long trips sit at 60-70 for an hour or more at a time in good traffic.
I'm not sure. But, my impression is that the boundary of what we consider sentient life has been shifting for a while. For example, people used to think that fish don't feel pain, and so it's fine to catch and eat them. Now there seems to be some evidence that fish do feel pain.

Of course, if there's a bacteria that's threatening to kill us, it might still be necessary for us to kill it, and that might even be objectively justifiable if the existence of humans is/becomes a positive influence on the preservation of other animals?

Or, one could just argue, since it's difficult to decide which life is most "worthy", an aligned AI shouldn't interfere or decide on that.

It's Musk's new prototype junk that everyone adored and was excited about and then he bought Twitter (got himself into the sh!t show that's politics). That made him lots more enemies who now highlight through their media friends & their money how much of used car salesman he really is. Also, media is pounding away this year suddenly on the big downfalls of EV ownership compared to the 100 year old gas car with 100 year old infrastructure.

When the experience of owning an EV is the same as owning a gas car Im excited about being able to charge my car overnight and super quickly on my many road trips. I do a few a month near, far and sometimes in remote areas ... yet hopefully not in super cold areas..the EV could freeze & in a remote area YIKES.

Yes, from an user point of view, Google sucks. But it's making money. Probably it's hard for a company to achieve behemoth status and still do nice things.

That’s because fuel has far more energy density than batteries. Yet ICE cars still underestimate mileage.

On YouTube some guys did the experiment: driving and measuring mileage after fuel gauge dropped to empty and computer started to complain about fuel. They got about 40 miles.
> What do you do in the first 100 miles in your new car...

Drive it. Because it's MINE. New cars should only have a few miles on it for on/offloading it, etc.

No one is gaslighting anyone, except maybe the folks who pretend language never changes. No one complained about the use of "parent".

Same reason I don't just have an ultra widescreen monitor on my desk and I have 3 monitors instead.

Separate monitors allows for better organization of different app windows than a single monitor, especially with different spaces on different monitors. I can keep my main screen on whatever it is I am working on while switching to a different space on another monitor to check email or teams for example.

Or just being able to have multiple full screen apps which is what I often do.
How will the State get the panopticon that it desires? It is obvious that the State sees the people as the enemy of the "good". Can't have enemies moving about freely. They might do bad things.
That would be a bit hard to swallow for a general purpose supervisor.
I agree with the points you make above.
I take excellent care of it, mechanically and cosmetically. A scratch in the first 100 miles is there forever... I even demand the dealer NOT wash the car as they are likely to put micro-scratches in the paint. Go look at the cars in carmax. The cheap cars tend to have very good paint, the high end European brands tend to have massive amounts of microscratches all over (presumably from their previous owners frequently taking it to a non-touchless car wash).

I sold a high performance sports car with 10,000 miles on it to Carmax a few years ago and the mechanic review said the car "looked and ran like it was brand new" and I was very happy with the price they offered.

For ICE cars, especially high performance sports cars, there is a lot to be concerned about non-owners doing in the first 100 miles.
I used org-mode files to save the examples of complex commands and code snippets (for example, for Docker, Kubernetes, bash, SQL and CQL). From the reader point of view it's literally documentation, although I'm not a professional technical writer and the only reader it's just myself (ok, sometimes I share some of this files with friends and family).

If you use Emacs, you will have great editor with powerful preview features (images, formatting, table processor with formulae, code execution inside the text), and the pipeline for generating HTML or PDF will be approximately the same as with .md/.rst (org-mode is even supported by GitLab and GitHub web interface, although not perfectly). But the support of the org-mode outside Emacs is worse than of Markdown and reStructuredText.
Your experience is typical, but there are many exceptions.

If you buy a constrained car, or if there are fulfillment issues, sometimes cars will get traded between dealerships and be driven by a guy vs. transporting. I needed a very specific configuration of a work truck a few years ago that ended up being brought in from another city - it was new with 150 miles for that reason.

With Tesla, there's no dealers, but it seems to be a... chaotic company, so I'm sure there's lots of behind the scenes shifting.

Not everywhere does leaf collection at the curb. About 10 years ago we lived in a city that did that and it was great. They told you the two or three times they would come by to vacuum the leaves so all you'd have to is get the leaves to the curb.

Where we are at now, we have a wooded lot out back so we blow them back there (folks across the street do blow them to the curb and pay for a company to come out and vacuum them up).

No way we could just rake them either, there's just too much. For lawn sweepers they can be pretty big so you'd need somewhere to put it when you're done (at least the ones I've looked at).
