> Distressed by the state of the public charger system, automobile companies have struck agreements with Tesla to use its Superchargers. The details are yet to be announced. No word on what percentage of Tesla chargers non-Tesla cars will be able to use, how much it will cost

The announcements promise > 15k stalls. That is basically every v3/v4 station. Why does he pretend that he doesn't know this when he purports to cover the EV industry.

Oh, just another piece of rubbish by Russ Mitchell, the world's worst EV salesman. He "[...] covers the epic transition to electric vehicles" but somehow only finds negative things to say, especially about the largest manufacturer of EVs.

Weird.
Restrictions are needed to maintain cartel like control over the watches and keep the price at 10x that of the comparable competition.
I didn't realize that the whistleblower might have accessed the records without permission, that could be a good reason to stay anonymous

Of course no way to know the truth for now.
>> Good, that is the way it should have been the whole time.

The corpse of John Adams probably has a smirk.

> government ... people ... as an adversary.

Adams had some interesting views, ones the courts dont share but he did. In his thought, the final check on power was the jury. It did not matter what the LAW said, it matters what the jury thought, that a jury at any point could just choose to nullify a law.

In many places talking about this near courts will get you held in contempt. But at lest one of the founding fathers though "telling the government to stuff it" was the right thing to do.
I looked at some random files, did not find a single comment, very strange.
I noticed many inoperable chargepoint chargers are due to the broken plug clip - it's a plastic clip that snaps easily when exposed to weather. It's truly poor design and even worse maintenance.
I tried one of those frequency adjustment videos where it just loops through a bunch of different frequencies to try to find the one that cancels out the ring of your tinnitus. I haven't found one that worked for me, really. But I should give that more time. Other than that, I'm not aware of any modern treatments for tinnitus.
> a broken incentive structure, shame on you when the outcomes aren't as desired

What’s surprising is the lack of course correction. The California Energy Commission should threaten to sue, to claw back funds for non-performing chargers. Instead, they haven’t even changed the way they distribute new funds.
The occupants of the vehicle would be safer, but what if your main worry is hitting pedestrians during in-city driving? If that was my worry, I would greatly prefer the 1990 model.
If we pay them more, it's clearly wasteful. If we pay them less, do we expect better results?
I am so happy to see GPUI now open source. This is very exciting, really grateful to the team at Zed to do this.
Another easy way is to just tweet it, which works for me - they usually get indexed < 1 hour later. Google has access to tweets and the URLs in those tweets.
It's so hard to tell on HN. A lot here will do anything to defend leadership.
They'd just go out of business and close down.

These charging things are unmanned and unmonitored and clearly nobody cares.

I do love to see more research here, thank you!

Having done internal developer & analyst tooling work (and used DX), this type of survey is great for internal prioritization when you have dedicated capacity for improvements.

I'd be curious to see more about organizational outcomes, as this is piece of DevOps/DevEx data that I feel is weakest and requires the most faith. DORA did some research here, but it's still not always enough to convince leadership.
The title incorrectly implies that police can no longer ask users for surveillance video, while the actual change is that Amazon itself is going to stop sharing it without a warrant. You can of course do anything with your video you want, including giving it to police.
This is well known and well studied. I highly recommend Sapolksy’s lecture on this: https://youtu.be/SIOQgY1tqrU?feature=shared

Start at 12:14 for the relevant topic, but the entire lecture is a good watch.
Do you mind if I ask how it is that you had kidney stones so long without realizing it that you mistook it for a fear of flying? I was under the impression that was a rather acute problem...
It's RDNA2 rather than 3, but my 6800xt idles at 36W. I have a 4k TV and a 1440p monitor connected. It looks like the memory idles at 1000Mhz.
There was a Technology Connections video on YouTube that I can’t find right now, so feel free to link it.

He was basically talking about the fact that a lot of the infrastructure that we have surrounding gas pumps in stations being missing from EV chargers is not necessarily something that’s sustainable, and more so a presently lacking feature to prevent damage and other issues. He posits that as EV gets more popular security and amenities will be mandatory, and EV charging parks will look more like our present day gas stations.

In the transition period, we are probably going to see chargers moving away from dedicated locations and into existing gas stations.
> The purpose of confession in the religious sense has nothing to do with the purpose of confession in the judicial sense.

That's completely irrelevant, if both confessions work the same way. And they do. There's no switch in the human brain that says "this is a judicial confession, be the sharpest least emotional being you've ever been". You may hope that the confession in the judicial sense acts as evidence, but when this clearly fails to be the case, over and over, for decades and centuries, creating a truly unknown and uncountable number of false convictions...

Well, then reasonable people don't whine "but they're supposed to be different!". If you can't see this, then I question your right to sit on a jury. You're simply unsafe for the rest of us to allow you to ever be involved in the process. It's very unfortunate that so many people who should rightfully be institutionalized for feeble-mindedness are allowed to do things like wander freely, vote, and use sharp tools.
Ramanujan died early. He is another one which comes to mind.
I subscribe to a particular framework for understanding human behavior. It's not perfect, but I find it enlightening as empirically it approximates reality well enough to be useful.

Every human has six needs: certainty, variety (uncertainty), significance, love (or connection, if they can't find love), growth and contributing. Everyone looks for all of these, they just rank their importance differently.

Find people who have 2-3 same needs ranked at the top or close to the top. I feel like your search for truth likely means you value certainty above all else (certainly above love), likely with significance closely following.

It's ok to leave people behind who don't have the same goals as you. Shakespeare said we're all actors with our entrances and exits, and I agree. Life is ever-changing.

Now on the more constructive side, why is truth the single most important value to you?

Do you value truth more than you value love? Health? Happiness? Passion? Growth? Make a list of the values you have and force rank them. Then think about what it takes to feel those values according to you. Do you get "truth" when you catch someone lying or when you strictly follow laws/a code? Truth can mean different things to different people. Then reflect on which values you actually want to pursue. I used to pursue anger because it made me feel powerful, righteous and driven. Now it's nowhere to be seen on my list.

Finally, you'll never outperform your belief system. If you want different results, change your beliefs. But belief systems are just stories we tell ourselves. It's mostly bullshit when we're being honest with ourselves (it's "BS" after all...) Is it really true that you searched truth when others didn't? Change your story, change your life.

It's hard to distill all of this into a HN comment but hopefully this is net helpful rather than unhelpful... Wishing you the very best journey ahead
Zed developers, please don't. I don't want my core editor potentially sending out my code to who knows where or wasting cycles analyzing it.

It was meant more as a joke, but it's indeed probably inappropriate here.
It's an ideological battle topic of the sort that leads to repetitive discussion and usually nasty flamewar. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I had this same problem a few years ago and went down the rabbit hole. I was looking for the US Robotics X2 and K56Flex handshake sounds and eventually found them.

Maybe, in any case it can only affect US contributors, so it is an US loss in a way.
Saudi Arabia opens its first-ever alcohol store
The article mentions this, but a lot of people don't realize that Electrify America was essentially set up as government-mandated punishment for VW for diesel-gate. Thus, it's not surprising their incentives aren't aligned to provide a great customer experience, as opposed to Tesla who basically views their Supercharging network as an extension of their cars and brand.
Rather than "jumping into the middle of an instruction" (which to me implies some crazy trickery where both the original instruction and the middle of it do something useful, like the sibling comment about biology), a more straightforward way of looking at it is that the "jumped-into" instruction is actually a single-byte jump which skips over the one or two following bytes - and those shouldn't be considered to be part of the instruction at all.

The opcode will of course perform whatever function it was normally intended for, but it will have been chosen by the programmer to be something that doesn't affect the state of the program in a meaningful way. So it really is just a shorter form of jump, not something beyond the understanding of mere humans - you could always replace it with a regular jump and get the same semantics.

CPUs at the time didn't have branch prediction. The 8086 did prefetch code, but always linearly, and even an unconditional jump would flush that prefetch queue. So having an instruction like "CMP AX,xxxx" (where xxxx=any 16 bit immediate value) would be both shorter and faster than the "proper" jump instruction, while affecting only the flag register.

And on the 8080, there was no short (8 bit relative) jump instruction, so this kind of trick even saved two bytes instead of just one.
Then compliance costs spiral out of control.

This is why this kind of stuff should be done with state capacity. Make it a normal employer employee relationship.
Nope. Gmail spam filter has been working very well for me, and has been for a long time.

Sorry to hear it's sucking for you, but I'm not seeing the same thing. I do see a few phishing attempts in the spam folder, but the vast majority of them get dropped on the floor before that. (I only know because my spam folder used to contain tens of thousands of messages, and now it has mere dozens.)
I’ve worked (burned out) under this. Eventually I realized that “debate everything” just meant the boss really loved to debate, because he could always “win.”
Warrants are to obligate companies. We must also accept that some companies actively want to cooperate. They have their own agendas over who owns what data, agendas that often conflict with the views of privacy advocates. One would hope that market forces would drive these companies away but that doesnt seem to happen much these days.

Good DevEx is incredibly important. Nice to see actual data supporting what is already known anecdotally.
Doesn't seem like a very fair comparison, you're using a cheap, unofficial knock-off ESP32 board which only allows up to 1v, compared to official Rpi and Arduino boards which go up to 3.3v. Perhaps you should use an official ESP32 devkit (https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits) and try running it again. I don't really understand why people bother buying other boards when the official ones are so cheap.

Having said all that, I have heard the analogue inputs aren't that great on the ESP32.
Honestly, it's pretty cool in my experience; in VSCode everyone gets their own "client-side navigation" so while you are typing something, your coworker can go look up a function for you in another file, etc. Even though they exist in "your" instance, they still get Go To Definition, Find References, type-on-hover, etc.

Realistically though it doesn't replace every instance of screen sharing, for me. It's also cultural to some extent I guess. For things like debugging or being intro'd to a new codebase, I think it's great, though.
Correct. There is nothing about fair weather that makes California's EV chargers particularly bad. They are all bad. It is a harder problem than the EV industry boosters want you to believe. Coupling and decoupling a load of hundreds of kilowatts to and from the grid presents significant life safety issues and the people who make the equipment are biased towards having the equipment fail open at the slightest whiff of a fault.

I have a friend who’s abusive and manipulative partner setup ring cameras around the house. After they broke up, the bad ex then took videos of day to day life and sent them to the police as evidence of physical abuse.

A good lawyer got the case dropped pretty quick, but not before she spent a weekend in jail, got fired as a teacher, and spent thousands on legal fees. The police had “video evidence” and therefore refused to drop the case even when the ex retracted the claims, and required months of fighting the legal system.

Beyond that awful freak incident, there’s tons of cases of police planting evidence, police ignoring real evidence, and police using an individual’s voluntary will to help them catch one crime to implicate an innocent person in a petty crime unexpectedly. There’d have to be a pretty big crime for me to voluntarily show the police any video of myself.
Ah, Cromemco. One of the many, many computer companies whose lights burned so brightly c. 1981, but would be totally trampled by the IBM PC elephant.

And it's not like Cromemco, Godbout, Morrow, et al. didn't know that 16-bit was the future. They released 8088/8086-based computers too. The offerings were not, however, IBM PC-compatible.
I recommend scaling that to no meetings on most days.
Interesting that it’s been deleted now also
"Are there any plans to figure out objective ways to measure productivity"

You can't measure developer productivity objectively, assuming you're referring to metrics like lines of code, number of pull requests, or velocity points which are infamous. There's broad agreement on this both within the research community as well as practitioners at leading tech companies.

Here are some examples:

This can come up even with application software (which is my area). If it worked before and it's broken now, or if your application appears to be the only thing that is broken for the user, from most user perspectives, it doesn't matter that the problem may have been technically created by an OS bug, errant virus scanner, or whatever. As I tell colleagues, "It may not be our fault, but it's still our problem."

For the history of the canals, wikipedia[1] has a pretty good page. The Canal and River Trust (CRT) is the current authority for much of the canal system in England and Wales, and they have a site[2] with plenty of little articles on individual little bits and bobs.

If you're after more of a modern angle - i.e., stories and insights from people that live on them (or just use them) today, there are many blogs from boaters, but I tend to not read them unles I come across a particular post addressing something relevant to me (usually repairs...). There are also tons of vlogs and youtube channels where people document their journeys which other people in the comments have mentioned, and even TV shows! I highly recommend Canal Boat Diaries by Robbie Cumming, though outside the UK I'm not sure where it can be found. He also has a youtube channel [3] which is less highly polished and a bit more 'real'.

Ring offers video end-to-end-encryption (E2EE) on at least some devices, in which case they can't access the footage even if they want to (short of sneaking it out of the app post decryption). I hope they'll find ways to support more features when E2EE is enabled over time.

Since you're talking about scummy behavior and miscommunication, I'd like to point out one place that TFA does so:

> Under completely unrealistic assumptions, G42D8 improves the chances of winning by less 1%. If there is any uncertainty in these calculations at all, then you might even be putting yourself at a disadvantage!

This is implying (without out saying) that a tiny error in e.g. the probabilities of converting a 2 point conversion will make things a disadvantage. After all, what if there's only a 46% (instead of 48% from Ms. Albert's article) of making the 2-point conversion, that must surely lower your win chances by more than 1 percentage point, right?

The answer is "of course not" becuase that just lowers the win probability by a tiny absolute amount as well. In fact this can be seen in the flow-chart that TFA hates so much. The author is either being scummy and disingenuous, or has confused himself by mixing relative and absolute percentage changes.
Agreed with this. We're working on it!
Very nice to see that it uses native IME. You can test it by pressing ctrl+cmd+space on macOS and see if the Emoji picker shows up.

I did misremember, it seems they used a network of algorithms based on how flies use 2000 neurons and the original article I read it from a while ago may have oversold it. The fact it was able to predict well is them looking for inspiration in insects, and that they'll be using more insect inspired behavior.

Right now fast chargers are very expensive to build and install, and the return on investment just from selling electricity isn't great unless it's actually used many times per day.

I think a lot of these charging providers make most of their money by installing the charger when it's paid for by grants, businesses, etc. rather than from the ongoing business of charging cars.

Tesla reduces up front costs with vertical integration instead of buying chargers from third party suppliers like other charging companies do. They also have their own fleet of cars and data on where chargers are needed, so most of their chargers get decent utilization.

That said I think part of why Tesla is doing deals to get more cars on their network is to increase that utilization even farther at more remote chargers that might currently be losing money on their books.
They should get a random 737 MAX every time they fly, that'd change things up quickly!

> many tech companies really are overstaffed

> and can get away with far fewer employees

I can't tell whether Twitter was really overstaffed or not, but I don't agree with people who use "see, twitter.com is still stable now" as a proof that the company was overstaffed before layoff. For instance, the stability could have been earlier investment in reliability engineering paying off. Cutting features and reducing changes also improves stability, but that may not be a good thing in the long run.

Can the company get away with it? Possible.

It would be great if you can share few examples of your truth/unconventional measures. There are a lot of instances where people would use the phrase "brutally honest" and are more brutal than honest. Books on communication would say "How you say it" matters a lot more than "What you say".
