No, EVs do not damage roads. Its not famously proportional, there is a cut off and consumer vehicles, including EVs, do not damage roadways. Large semi trucks do.

Not sure how you calculate 40% but that sounds wildly off, unless you are cherry picking and comparing a Rav 4 to that wildly heavy Hummer.

Lets take a real comparison though, Model Y at the top end is 4400lbs, a Rav4 at the top end is 3600lbs. Thats a 22% increase, heavier yes but not 40%.

Edit: Here is one source to show why EVs are not tearing up the road. https://twitter.com/ajisuzu1/status/1681123111364620294?s=46

My TLDR is there is essentially a cutoff where the weight matters. Going from 3800lbs to 4400lbs is not whats causing damage, its the 60,000lb loaded semi (and I think 80k is actually the max weight cutoff.

A Tesla Model 3 is 0-15% heavier than a BMW 3 Series. A Ford Lightning is 10-20% heavier than a gasoline SuperCrew. EV's are not 40% heavier.
I own a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I run non-EV specific tires, and I burn through them. Some claim weight is the issue, but at roughly 4,000 lbs the Model 3 isn't significantly heavier than at least some of its ICE competitors (to pick one of the worst offenders, the AWD Charger is heavier). I'm pretty confident the real cause is the power, power delivery, and my driving habits. Abusing sticky tires has always been expensive, it hasn't always been so easy to do.
I don't see how what we know is discrete.

What do they put on Teslas where you are? In Europe they put SportContacts, those are performance tires and obviously wear down faster than your standard PremiumContact or equivalent.
SLIM is a $100m project, including half of the launch(rideshare with XRISM x-ray telescope on H-IIA), not a billion dollar JPL project on a dedicated Atlas V, so budget likely is a factor.
Anyone giving you equity instead of a salary in cash is looking to take advantage of your not understanding what equity really means.

How major shareholders can change the deal by dilution, how can they just spin up separate entities to compete with what you have even though it might seem they are on the same boat while in reality they are not.

One would say "you can always go to court" - can you? If guy that gives you equity was already in the game he already has lawyers and most likely more capital in his pockets. If your equity will be worth $200k and he drags court case so you have to pay for your lawyers $300k in fees is it worth? Especially if you are an engineer that has mortgage instead of loads of cash in bank or other investments. Can you stretch $100k over to win the case and then even if you win and he has to pay you back all the costs with interests, you believe someone will just wire up it in one day instead of dragging it out for another 10 years where you as small time guy cannot sleep at night because all of the crap.
I like the thing, but it misses what I enjoyed teaching about these most: phase. Many people know white noise is nominally 'all frequencies at the same intenisty', yet those taught Fourier mathematics are also taught that the same recipe makes a pulse. The difference is all in the phase information, and why I maintain to this day the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, as typically applied, is incorrect.
I see people saying self-hosting email is difficult - I disagree. If you know what a DNS record is, how to SSH into a server, and how to run a docker container, then self-hosting email will be easy for you. Postfix and Mailcow make it quite simple these days.

The problem with self-hosting is that even after setting up everything correctly, you will still likely run into delivery issues with your outgoing mail because your IP doesn't have the right reputation, i.e. it's not associated with a globocorp. What will follow is a cat and mouse game of contacting the various big email providers and asking/begging/demanding them to whitelist your IP so that they don't send your mail directly to spam. The responses to these whitelist requests vary between being ignored and being temporarily whitelisted.

Many consider this to be a losing game and give up self-hosting email.

If you can get through to legal departments, you may have better and more permanent success in getting whitelisted, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30225619

But you might want to just sign up for a cheap email provider like Fastmail. If you self-host, you'll likely spend at least $5/mo for the VPS anyway, and if you have 100 or fewer custom domains, Fastmail is just under $5/mo, so I'd say that's a better deal than self-hosting.

The car I drive weighs about 1300 kg, the Tesla Model X is about 2400 kg. I was being conservative with 40%.

Edit: turns out my car weighs even less.

Until recently, you could not disable automatic windshield wipers when using Auto-Steer (lane control). You can now, though...

If Tesla is this delusional about how bad automatic windshield wipers are, why not require FSD to be enabled at all times?

It would be more intellectually interesting if you told us why you hate it, and perhaps suggestions on how to improve it, or better alternative solutions.

I'll add that "hate" is an overused word that tells us almost nothing, other than your displeasure. Show, don't tell. Instead of telling us that you hate it, show us some concrete facts and specific details.

Anecdotal but when I drive a crappy/always broken A3 I remember hearing a customer complain at the dealer that the sales rep should have worn them how heavy the A7 (maybe RS7) was because they were spending so much on tires.

I'm not an EV fan, but this problem has always existed for heavy cars, of which there have been many for decades.

I do understand why EVs can wear tires faster than gas cars. Because of the low end torque, it is easy (even in the Nissan Leaf I drive) to chirp the tires at the light. However, if you drive moderately (and it is a choice), there is no reason your tires will wear unduly fast. Says someone on their second set of tires after 51k miles.
A chaotic grid would be macroscopically observable because random + random != 2 random, it's equal to 'bell curve'. Everything would be smeared as a function of distance, which we don't see.

This characteristic is observable for metals as well. Steel becomes less flexible as it's worked because it's grains become smaller and more chaotic - A microscopic property with a macroscopic effect.

Having read the paper he's rapidly on his way to materialistic solipsism - which is fine as a circle of hell, but it doesn't have any bearing on reality.

Otherwise, he really isn't saying anything new from a philosophical perspective. Both Aristotle and St. Thomas long ago had a distinction between the act of sensing something and the act of naming (that is knowing) it. And noted that we can reflect on both of them.

As he says:

> Third, an attention schema cannot explain how a [non-empirically verifiable, non-material phenomena] emerges from the brain ... It explains how we believe, think, and claim to have such things, but it does not posit that we actually have [non-material phenomena] inside us.

Having limited himself to only material things, he is necessarily constrained to only talk about epiphenomena if there is a non-material formal cause for the material phenomena.

But empiricism is not all that is - there is no empirical proof for empiricism, it requires something outside of itself to support itself.
Actually, the modern thinking is that "anybody smoking is bad for all of us because it puts unnecessary pressure on the healthcare system". Same thing with drinking and other harmful things. Well that is for countries that have public healthcare that is.
>You cannot uninstall slow crap Safari from an iPhone.

Which is irrelevant. You can always not use it. And when you don't use it, it doesn't slow down your iPhone.

In fact it doesn't slow down your iPhone even when you use it.

In Safari's backend is close up there with Chrome for speed and beats Firefox (as seen in macOS, where all three engines are available). It also does so with much less memory and cpu load, to the point that it adds 20% or more of battery life to use it on a laptop.

My dad spent most of his working life on "preaching" road safety for the local health service, reviewing all the data in the world (more or less) to tell people what works and what doesn't.

Unfortunately, one thing he learned is that every measure of forceful compliance is consistently more successful in preventing accidents and deaths. Seatbelts save lives, but they had to be made compulsory by law to drill the concept into people; and even with that, it takes un-inescapable annoyances like this alarm to get into compliance that last 5-10% of stubborn idiots who just won't do the right thing. Full-face helmets save lives, but so many people insist in using pointless "bowls" or even nothing at all. Respecting speed limits save lives, but it takes speed cameras to actually persuade people to do that. Etc etc.

The technical implementations can always improve, of course. And tbh, it takes nothing to fix the issue reported: just fasten the belt "empty" when you have the dog (and accept the poor thing will not survive an impact...). The industry is what it is because People Are Bad At Risk-Assessment, and that's that.
If you want to call yourself "engineer" then at a minimum all those standards and minimum requirements should apply, no questions asked.

I've heard stories of hauling civil engineers out of retirement and in front of a tribunal after some structure that collapsed before it's time, or it was found that the original design was flawed in some way.

An engineer "signing off" on something actually means something, with actual stakes.

Of course the "developers" will revolt against this, because they are not engineers. A developer does not get to sign off on anything, and everything they do must be scrutinised by the engineer in charge before it can be deployed.

Doing this for your common run-of-the-mill CRUD app or HTML website is obviously overkill. Just like you don't need an engineer to replace a broken window or hang a new door. But when it comes to things that actually matter, like data safety and privacy, you must ensure you bring in the right culture (let alone job title).
There are operators with continuous spectra. The previous commenter was accidentally half-right, in that the usual intro QM picture where everything lives in L2 really isn't fully rigorous, but this is fairly easy to resolve.

The correct setting is a rigged Hilbert space: given an algebra of operators A on a Hilbert space H, let S be the maximal subspace of H such that |sa| is finite for any s in S, a in A. These are your states. Operators in A don't necessarily have eigenvectors in H, but they do have eigenvectors in the space S* of all continuous linear functionals on S. So <x|, for instance, is just the map `psi -> delta_x(psi)`.

Thats my point, you created an example to match your narrative. Same if you were to compare your car against a Ford F-150, its not a like for like comparison.

It looks like the one-liner function comes from their npm library... which requires a build step?

At that point you could just use an SVG charting library. Good charting libraries will have code snippets readily available for line charts that you can copy/paste. SVG can be styled with CSS just like text.

"Simpler code" seems like the main benefit but it comes with a big "weirdness" factor as the tradeoff. I'd bet there's a super lightweight SVG charting lib somewhere out there which is about as simple as this while being much more standard. i.e. supports line charts only, and has the simple type signature `(number[]) => SVGElement`.

The parameters you pass in define your dependencies. For a program to compile it needs the compiler and that is a complicated dependency. One might think that only passing the paths to the dependencies would be enough. That way the inputs could be much simpler indeed. I guess there's room for a simpler Nix.

Funnily enough, I complained to Atlas Obscura a couple years back about a story they ran that included a bunch of statistics which were mathematically inconsistent with each other. I get that english majors don't like math :) but these numbers were so central to the story that you'd think any fact checker who had the story to review would have pulled out a calculator and checked them (if not actually review the sources of the numbers).

I got an email reply from Patel (who is mentioned in the Walrus story) about 3-4 weeks after my initial complaint, acknowledging the issue and saying that they'd issued a correction. In the editorial comment that they'd added to the story along with the corrections, they understated the issue that I reported, but they had fixed all of the numbers. Of course, fixing stories 3-4 weeks after publishing means that only the fictional long tail will benefit.
Isn't this just restating in an obscure and poorly worded fashion what the very clearly worded original post said?

In principle, yes. In practice, most of the "community" is paid developers for companies like RedHat. So while they do have to pay the bills, they do so by those FOSS contributions.
People aren't picking between a Ford F-150 or a Tesla where I live, they pick between a normal ICE 5-seater or a Tesla. It's not cherry-picked, it is me-picked, a sample of 1 but a sample nonetheless. You OTOH have fabricated a choice that makes it seem reasonable. A truck is a work vehicle, a Tesla is personal transportation. The cyber truck is the like-for-like with a F-150, or at least it is designed to be.

Absolutely. But you're also not really considering that that was starting from literally nothing, and going at a hyper-accelerated rate. Now that we have that knowledge, to say nothing of a million other technological improvements, costs ought be dramatically lower. And indeed the Falcon Heavy's entire development cost about $500 million, over about 3 years of active development. [1]

The SLS, which is NASA's latest ship - being developed by Boeing/Lockheed, started 13 years ago and has, so far, cost more than $30 billion (the costs listed on Wiki are 5 years outdated). [2] If/when it is ever completed, its ideal goal will be to carry ~2x as much as a Falcon Heavy, at a launch cost about of well over 20x as much.

I have other friendships that have been tested for similar amounts that have survived. But, it leaves a mark.

I had an ex-employee who worked for me under starvation wages in a startup long ago. He was upset about that and some tax implications, and brought it up with me. I gave him a smallish lump sum and enabled him to put a down payment on a house. I need to ask him about that, it was really brave to ask me to clean something up, and I never did that with the friend from the OP. I wonder if it would have gone differently.

I'm seeing a lot of people in my circle struggling right now. I bet 2024 is going to be a bad year for friendships.

For unfortunate personal reasons I have been reading studies on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is terminal if untreated and curable if treated, but still 20-30% of patients don't even complete radiation and chemo treatment. Standard of care is localized radiation, poison in pill and IV form, and hope the cancer dies before the patient. At 40, this is rough. At 80, I might decide to call it game over. Only in the last decade, they have downplayed surgery with ~40% dodging it altogether when chemo-radiation provides total response. Surgery typically means at least a temporary colostomy and is high risk for older patients so the incentive was there to avoid it. Modern medicine is very pro-treatment and it takes a lot of 5 year studies to get them to dial things back.
