Every time I read anything about a "break in" on cars it always felt like people were just repeating old wives tales because I could never get an answer on what the result would be if I ignored it.

Will the transmission last 5000 extra kms or the engine will make it from 500,000 to 501,000 km? No one seems to know.

Makes it feel like poeple telling me I have to discharge a battery all the way because it has "memory" long after most batteries were lithium ion with a charge controller.
That was my initial reaction as well. Having said that I thought the same about the Watch and I turned out to be wrong about that. I still don't want one but all that means is I'm an outlier.
I was thinking about that, and that is true when one of the monitors is generally Safari.

The question will be can I easily copy something from Safari on the Vision Pro to my Mac for example? Or move the mouse from my Mac Display (which will likely just be the trackpad of my laptop on my lap) to that Safari and use it that way.

It would need to operate as an extension of my Mac for it to be useful in this scenario.
The frustrating thing is when you buy it at 13 miles, and pick it up at 53 miles. They prefer to show that car rather than put miles on their own vehicles.
I'll bet many people were willing to pay that if executives and managers had there kids there. Daycare can provide unique kinds of networking and job-security/promotion options.
Getting Ready for the Worst. Just in Case
Drat, I was hoping for a chainload of the Linux kernel. A sort of "here's a quarter, kid, go get yourself a real operating system" option.
My personal exasperation is less about being unable to find alternatives (e.g. [1]). It's more that those alternatives aren't 1) as good, 2) free, or 3) part of the same platform.

And even if I use an alternative, my friends, family, and workplace do not. So I'm still fighting the use of Google products after I stop using them.

I think it's mentioned in the write-up that the issue is not necessarily the car owners but the car themselves. I guess in San Francisco criminals do not make their getaway on mass transit
My dad worked in Facilities at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center (or maybe it was Cray, or maybe it was Control Data, or maybe it was NetASPx, or maybe it was something else, I was never clear to be honest) here on Washington Ave in Minneapolis. Sometimes as a kid in the 90s, he'd take me in to follow him around for a day. I definitely remember looking at the server racks and supercomputers they had on their main floor, watching automated tape backup machines move tapes around, all these crazy water cooling setups with colored lights, stuff like that. I even got to see the big diesel backup generators in the basement once. But the standout was the decommissioned Cray-1 they had as a seating bench in the front lobby. Could walk inside the unit and look at all the wires and circuit boards connected together, or just sit on the nice padded bench and have a chat. If you really knew what you were doing, you could lift up the seat panels and have a look at more boards and wires. Fun stuff.
Fair enough, that's also an important aspect (perhaps more important ^.^). It's just that I immediately started thinking about what other phrases could've been said, and which might be the best one for a "properly aligned AI" (whatever that means).
I get way better mpg when I take long drives on the highway cruising at 65-70 than I do on periods with mostly city driving. I keep track when I fill up as a check against the car's slightly wonky mpg calculation and it's a difference of 5ish mpg more for highway like the EPA estimates suggest.
Can somebody eli5 how this works, or point me to some description? Let's say I'm pip installing it. How does the rust code turn into something that python can call?
Ohh, that looks awesome. A bit thick, but otherwise great! My current one is only 2 years old, but I’m saving this.
> I've been told that it's not anymore, but that comes from salesmen.

The owner's manuals still recommend a break in period. Modern synthetic oils and manufacturing tolerances reduce the need to be sure, but there's still a whole bunch of parts built at different plants that have never really worked together before. A bit of controlled wear still makes sense to me.

That reported 599 watt-hours/mile is hard for me to understand. That's 374 wH/km or nearly double the average for the EVs in this table: https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/energy-consumption-electr...

A F150 Lightning is about 500wH/mi. https://insideevs.com/news/584918/ford-f150-lightning-epa-ra...

Other Tesla cars are way way better, under that 374 number. I get the Cybertruck is heavy and not very aerodynamic. But this bad?

I’d take issue with the “Iceberg is slow” theme that Databricks in particular has tried to push.

If that were true, Snowflake would not be as fast on Iceberg/Parquet as its native format. The engine makes something fast or slow, not the table format.

Disclaimer - am at Snowflake.
They don’t work. They also get used by the state for unrelated surveillance. But sure cheer it on and YC for pushing it.
Yeah, if you've ever seen them loaded onto the trucks, it isn't necessarily done in the most careful manner. They don't get babied before delivery in a lot of cases.

Having said that, once production is in full-swing, they are unlikely to get full "burn-in" tests.

Early production may get a little more for various reasons.
Care to share your opinion? I’m curious.
Yeah, but just like I said back then, that's like saying that a bathtub and a swimming pool are the same because they're both masses of contained water. The difference is explicitly in the size.
Basing your justification on the exceptional case instead of the general rule does not make for a good argument.

Also, anyone with a modicum of sense could see that it would be better to just rent a truck if you only need one for monthly trips.
Totally correct!
Yeah I love the 8bitdo ones. But they're not inexpensive.

It would be interesting to hear why the armchair experts clicked that vote-down arrow instead of reacting. The fact that you think self-hosting mail can not be done does not mean others can not do it. If you happen to work for a mail hosting company and feel you need to grey out potential competition that'd be understandable (if fraudulent) but otherwise I do not understand this reaction. Does the fact that others can self-host make you feel insecure? Does the fact that this gives those people freedom and the opportunity to evade censorship threaten you? Let's hear it, I'm interested in understanding the background for this ever so common reaction to any suggestion of not letting the experts handle things like this.
Omniverse Extensions Development Handbook
As someone from NC with a LOT of family from eastern NC specifically, I'd like to provide an addendum to "bless your heart".

I see it frequently cited as always meant sarcastically/disingenuosly. It certainly can mean "screw you", "go away", or "... so much fail".

However, if there's one thing people should understand about southern/NC etiquette, it's that passive aggression is the primary form of aggression. There are plenty of southerners who would never tell you to GFY straight to your face. That doesn't mean they aren't thinking that and trying to say that, though. Perhaps even with a "bless your heart".

Given all of that, "bless your[/their] heart" is absolutely to be taken at face value about as often as it shouldn't. That level of plausible deniability provides the highest level of potential passive-aggressiveness.

I can't speak for absolutely everybody, but at least if someone from eastern NC says "bless your heart", they could mean anything between "GFY" and "I'm so sorry that happened, please come to my house so that I can shower you with hospitality". You might never know which they meant, and that's intentional.

Yea, comparing Delta Lake to Iceberg is more apt, but I've been shying away from that content cause I don't wanna flamewar. Another poster is asking for this post tho, so maybe I should write it.

I don't really see how Delta vs Hive comparison makes sense. A Delta table can be registered in the Hive metastore or can be unregistered. If you persist a Spark DataFrame in Delta with save it's not registered in the Hive metastore. If you persist it with saveAsTable it is registered. I've been meaning to write a blog post on this, so you're motivating me again.

I've seen a bunch of enterprises that are still working with Parquet tables that aren't registered in Hive. I worked at an org like this for many years and didn't even know Hive was a thing, haha.

Lol, guilty as charged. Blue cheese dressing with my wings is still a thing I do.

I honestly don't follow your line of thinking.

> See for example Sweden, or France for where this path leads to.

I think mixing France and Sweden on this point makes no sense. France made a deliberate attempt to attract as many refugees (and, at the same time, non-refugee immigrants) as possible in a very short period of time; they understood where it leads to and backpedaled on too open policies but things want a bit too far and they need to deal with the consequences, mainly criminal gang bombings.

As for France, the situation is dramatically different. You have several generations of immigrants already, some feeling more French than the French if I may use this expression. This population is very heterogeneous but suffice it to say than when ISIS planned Bataclan attacks, they had to recruit people in Belgium. Also, the countries of origins for immigrants in both cases are very different and in the case of France related to the history of the country, the Algerian War etc.

So, if you wanted to lump the two together, it would be proper to say "Sweden and Merkel's Germany" (because today's Germany is quite different, too).
Can you share some references to the git-like semantics? I couldn't find much about merging the branched tables.

These blog posts eulogizing Google's culture death sidestep the elephant in the room; Google sells ads. Nothing else they produce makes money. Google Search didn't magically get dumber, they simply made a business decision to favor SEO-optimized junk sites, many of which run Google Ads.

There's an outdated saying that goes, "if you're so smart, why aren't you rich?"

If Google was hiring only the best and brightest, surely they could have come up with something in 25 years besides ads that made money and could stand on its own two feet. Instead, there is:

- Youtube (unprofitable 18 years running)

- Android (dead in the water w/o Samsung)

- Google Cloud Platform

- Google Workspace

- hundreds of smaller projects that were sunset

For all the non-Ads people lamenting the end of the good ol' days, has there been any reflection from them on the fact that all the cool projects they worked on weren't profitable at all?
>Relatively few people were able to take advantage of the on-site daycare because of long waitlists

I might be parsing this incorrectly, but isn't this sentence saying "too many people used the daycare (long waitlist), so not many people could use it"?
Databricks has been struggling to defend Delta against the fast-moving improvements and widening adoption of Iceberg, championed by two of its major competitors, AWS and Snowflake. This article seems like a bizarre, and maybe even misleading, artifact, given that no one in the industry is comparing Parquet to Delta. They’re weighing Iceberg, which like Delta, can organize and structure groups of parquet (or other format) files…
Most pickup trucks are not 3 tons. They're generally 1 ton or less. Weight has a cost in the power required to get it going.

That's what the parent is calling out (IMO).
> Also, fun fact, it didn't have a CPU. It used all discrete logic chips, and was wired by hand,

That's how CPUs were built back then. What it didn't have was a single-chip CPU, or a microprocessor.

Lots and lots of wire, yes, with each one cut to a specific length so that all of each gate's input signals arrive at the same time. That's why the backplane looks like a mess of wires hanging down due to seemingly being way too long.
Video conferencing using existing equipment and connections is arguably just about the only more immersive virtual experience that has really taken off. And that was somewhat forced on people and plenty here are still "FU. I'm not turning my camera on" in a work context as it is.

We can conceive of other uses but turns out that you can either get most of the way there for far less money and effort and/or the market for "spare no expense" is tiny.

a narrower interpretation of the interstate commerce clause would disable many aspects of the federal governments agency system and require a different legal rationale from Congress if the people want to continue them, I don’t know how those specific examples you mention fall into that and it isn’t an argument for anything specific except an interpretation more congruent with federalism

I’m arguing for more durable consensus. Look at the accession process of Texas versus a territory with Hispanics, Pacific Islanders or Asians, and see how many steps were done in the former versus how many were skipped in the latter. Do those steps and accept any outcome. I’m not arguing for any specific outcome of an areas status.

I don't imagine many people looking for 320 miles between charges are planning to do it anywhere except a highway?

It is a good argument when that exceptional case is literally the reason people buy trucks. You’re telling me a truck buyer won’t have, even once, a case where he actually needs it?

It’s the same reason people buy insurance. I’m sure you won’t tell me, “99% of people buying health insurance at 25 years old don’t file claims, so it’s a complete waste of money. A stupid first world luxury, even.”

> Also, anyone with a modicum of sense could see that it would be better to just rent a truck if you only need one for monthly trips.

At that kind of wear and tear? Not necessarily, especially with tax advantages for depreciation. Also, this reeks of the spirit of “you’ll own nothing and be happy.”
Did you believe Red at his parole hearings in The Shawshank Redemption?
"Carnage" and "EV Winter" in a market with strong growth makes me wonder what words they'll use to describe markets that are actually shrinking.

Plus "price cuts", while they might anger Bloomberg readers due to impacts on their stock portfolio are a) predicted as a feature of EVs for the next decade, so maybe they should have done their homework, and b) good for both the planet and society, so maybe a financial system that can't cope with that is something we should worry about more than lower cost EVs?

Delta Live Tables are a Databricks feature and aren't related to Delta Lake.

Can't you just setup a cron job to vacuum periodically?
Expanding on what others have already said:

Yes, it is basically just another relational database system. -but-, it's a database system that's optimized for a different purpose.

A traditional RDBMS is designed for OLTP workloads, and it does a great job of that. Ideally operations are small, discrete, and handled within milliseconds. In service of that speed, you also want to keep them small and lean, so that you can take maximum advantage of caching hot data in memory. Maybe on the megabytes-to-gigabytes scale.

A data warehouse is designed for more OLAP-style workloads, but the emphasis is still on real-time responses to relatively predictable requests. But it's at the more relaxed end of the "real-time" scale - a query might take a few seconds to run. You'll use extract-transform-load jobs to get the data organized into a structure that's optimized for those workloads before you load it into the warehouse. Data volumes still matter here, but they can be allowed to get quite a bit bigger than what's typical in OLTP databases. Think gigabytes-to-terabytes scale.

Lakehouses, on the other hand, are meant for more of a "get the data somewhere, and then figure out how to use it" mindset. So getting the data into it follows more of an extract-load-transform regime, meaning that significant processing and transformation of the data happens in the course of executing the query itself. The kinds of questions you want to ask are almost unconstrained, and that changes the performance situation again. Millisecond response times are now something that just never happens. Instead you're looking at seconds to minutes, perhaps even hours, being typical execution times for a query. The data also gets bigger again. People often suggest it's potentially on the terabytes-to-petabytes scale, but I haven't seen that myself. Mostly because I've never worked anywhere were anyone even wants to have that much data sitting around to have to manage and govern.

I would say don't get caught up too much on the scale consideration, though. That's real, but I think that the more interesting distinction, and the one that explains why OLTP systems and data warehouses are often implemented using the same RDBMS systems, while lakehouses really do merit a completely different tech stack, is the ETL vs ELT distinction.
That's true but also very germane to the conversation here. Sure, life will go on. It's not guaranteed that life with Google will go on, or that FANG will be an acronym of interest anymore than the "Nifty Fifty" are today.

For folks saying "just make it text", I think you really need to consider the human element here. Pilot->ATC text would be an absolute no go since now you'd basically be muted if it's bumpy. Instead of being able to just talk and occasionally ask for clarification, now you have to mess around with a shitty $40,000 Garmin pager device while getting bumped around and missing the buttons and typoing a bunch. Oh yeah, and you gotta also fly a plane.

A slightly reasonable system where ATC->Pilots is text and Pilots->ATC is audio is now just making the whole thing more complicated with some slight reduction of "Say again"s. You still would need to ask for clarification if the instruction is unclear or unexpected but now also ATC has to develop new workflows and a mixed text/voice system seems likely to induce higher workload and produce more errors.
This is because most vehicles have a “reserve” of 1.5 gallons. So even when the gauge hits E you still have about 1.5 gallons at current MPG to make it gas station. This is get drivers to refuel sooner and not run the fuel pump dry which can cause major damage and be expensive to repair.
Yes APIs are expensive and require significant overhead.

But clean, maintained interfaces between separate domains are far LESS expensive than multi-domain/team mashups.

Maintaining separate teams AND well- maintained interfaces surfaces and makes explicit the myriad inter-silo interactions.

Instead of a quick backchannel conversation and a quick hack, it is an explicit conversation and an API adjustment.

Yes, it's more expensive up front, but far cheaper and more powerful in the long run.

So for high-speed prototyping, not so suitable- breaj the silos, do the backchannel hack & move on (this version will likely be binned or massively refactored anyway). But when the domain is more stable, modular with solid interfaces is the way to go.
