This illustrates a number of issues to I like to single out.

1) Note that it is illegal to manufacture under US environmental legislation. Tesla is something a little under half the market for electric vehicles, led the charge and did a lot fo the R&D. The author draws our attention to the reasonable point that the regulators should have shut big chunks of that down if they were doing their job and forced Tesla to spend more time on other matters.

2) It appears one of Elon Musk's competitive advantages is negotiating with government. By bypassing environmental legislation and taking cynical advantage of subsidies, he can get a manufacturing company up and running. This bodes very badly for manufacturing that isn't effectively corrupt.

3) Off topic bonus point. I have a quiet bet with myself that these dynamics are also the reason why China is good at solar panel production and the US is not.

There seems to be a hard trade off between environmental and manufacturing excellence. I expect manufacturing excellence actually drives improving long term living standards.

Did you read the article? Are you not piping hot mad? Dozens of mg of major pollutants per liter when the legal limit is 0.1mg. Flouting clean air regulations with abandon. A massive campaign of illegal dumping. This isnt absurd, this is monstrous. And there seems to be no real motion towards them ever coming into any kind of compliance

What is so over the line for you about the authors ending place? Personally this seems more than deserved and honest, seems like a fair assessment of the wanton hell Tesla has been creating around them without pause or a care:

> But the more we’ve excused the more Tesla has taken license to ignore the law, the company’s legal compliance following the spiraling ego trip of its Chief Executive Officer. The monster turning Twitter into a Nazi CSAM hellscape, like his monstrous car company that is wantonly polluting the state that did so much to help birth it, are the products of our collective choices. Sure, both probably had a kernel of monstrousness in them from the very beginning, but both had to be nurtured with constant, repeated assurances that whatever they do is for the greater good, no matter what.

Telling people they need to be more polite in their criticism is a low form of criticism, bypassing all substance of the topic. What's happening here deserves a cast & mighty reckoning, and there's something wrong and sick with a leadership that would allow these indignities to stack up so high, that pollutes so viciously with such abandon.

I agree that this didn't have to be an Elon bash, but I'm in no way unsympathetic that it is. This seems like a previous long set of misdeeds, and responsibility here definitely goes to the top.

The child isn't tortured in the original story. You misremember. The child is neglected, ignored and maltreated but the abuse is acts of ommision not commision.

The story doesn't say where the child is from, but it does say the child remembers its mother and how to speak.

The story ends saying that the ones who leave are going somewhere, we know not where nor why (it lightly implies the ones leave because the child is abused, but it could just as easily be they left because they learnt something).

Don't effects like this usually "begin" at a dosage of zero? If the effect size ends up being 0.001 points of IQ lost at a reasonable dosage, I don't particularly care whether scientists prove that there's a casual and statistically significant effect. Doesn't matter either way

At this stage, I'd vote for any proposal which equalizes wealth. Limiting wealth, UBI...

The most interesting proposal I've heard recently basically suggested that instead of governments selling bonds (to the central bank and to the markets) when it creates new currency for public spending, it should essentially just give the newly created bonds to citizens since it's the people's money anyway that it's loaning out... It would have to split them equally among all citizens.

Having had one for years they are fairly expensive, require some not insignificant maintenance and cleaning to keep them running optimally and are made almost entirely of plastic and are not recyclable.

A better option would be a carbon + sediment filter but again these are usually plastic fiber or at the least some sort of synthetic fiber and carbon in a plastic shell - a slight step up in recyclability than RO filters though.

I'd wager it's far more efficient for the municipality to get their water quality right at the source than every home fit a filter.
> Dismissing this possibility as crazy (as it usually is) seems really ignorant. The most plausible explanation is that current levels likely do cause some small level of intellectual impairment in at least some portion people.

If so it needs to be compared to the level of intellectual impairment caused by any increase in infection from tooth decay or the more tentatively researched links between mastication and cognitive decline.

Modern dental care to handle any an increase in tooth decay would need to be factored in. My main point is to make sure IQ changes on both sides of the equation are addressed.
A lot of medicines are taken sublingually, because absorption is expected to be higher than through the oral route. Does fluoride not get absorbed that way?
These concerns are not limited to fluoride in municipal water, but also excessive fluoride consumption via tea, see. e.g.: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/14034948219902...

One wonders, therefore, whether the Victorian British (who consumed an annual average of 6 pounds of tea per person in 1900) suffered from hyperfluoridation, and what its downstream effects might have been... In fairness, and what needs to be noted, the intellectual output of that place and era was highly superior.
I grew up having pinball machines in our house (my dad bought and fixed them as a hobby, sold or gifted them to friends). I have my childhood Black Knight pinball with me now. Love playing it, the kids and their friends love it. Honestly it’s great.

Repairs and maintenance is very DIY able at least for this age of machine. Luckily I can still call dad when I’m stuck troubleshooting.

No idea if they hold their value. Never thought of selling.

Hey HN!

I made this page to show some points in a simple way about AI being too overconfident depending on the model being used and how it could affect our lives. It also has a simple demo to show the difference between a model considering uncertainties and a traditional one. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any suggestions to improve it!

> Recall is a term of art in the automotive safety world, as you just posted.

Also in consumer products in general. Here is a list of recalls from the Consumer Products Safety Commission for example [1].

Sometimes the remedy is to take the product to a dealer to be fixed. Sometimes it is an OTA update. Sometimes it is that the manufacturer will send a repairperson to your home to fix the problem. Sometimes it is a non-OTA update (e.g., there was one for a Samsung washer a while back where if your model didn't have WiFi they would send you a dongle to plug in that would install the update).

Does anyone know how well the Seaweed Filer works for renaming files or missing files? My use case’s involves writing a lot of data to temporary files that are then renamed to their final name. This is always the Achilles heel for distributed file storage, where files are put into buckets based on the file path… when you rename the path, but keep the data, lookups become more complicated.

(This is HPC work with large processing pipelines. I keep track of if the job was successful based upon if the final file exists. The rename only happens if the job was successful. It’s a great way to track pipeline status, but metadata lookups can be a pain — particularly for missing files. )
That's an awesome interactive page! Did you write it by hand, or did you use some sort of generator/tool?
> Sure. When you use API, you can design it with a domain-specific data format. When you use SSR, you stick to HTML page overhead.

Now you hydration, your JS to run, and a custom serialization/deserialization format (and a custom parser) to maintain.

> This is not an argument against SPA, it’s an argument to invest in UX. When done right, SPA and native clients do deliver better UX than SSR/generic browser. The effort to achieve that is not huge, in fact this behavior can be built as a reusable component.

We're well over a decade into SPAs and we're still seeing these problems/errors. I routinely see SPAs keeling over without any feedback built by large, richly resourced. The tool has something to do with it if so many different people and organizations are failing.
It was for manufacturing. It's not as great as one would hope for actually playing. The city has an ordnance that says that you need a special "public place of amusement" license if you have more than 3 machines and are open to the public, and it can be rather expensive. So places to play are generally limited to a relatively small number of barcade-type venues that tend to be loud and crowded.

I prefer the pinball scene in Milwaukee. Seemingly every neighborhood has at least a few relaxed, cozy bars with a decent number of machines in the back room, and there are also a few decent venues that are open to minors.

I don't know Portland as well, but based on what little time I've spent there it seemed like the situation was more similar to what it's like in Milwaukee. I've stumbled across some great old classic machines when I was there.

Veserv has correctly restated what I meant by my original comment (which I still stand by). In my first reply, I used a mutex as an example for a contended resource. A cooperative multitasking system just extends "contended resource" to include the CPU.

Just like you need to make sure you don't hold a critical lock for too long in a preemptive multitasking system, you need to make sure you don't run on the CPU for too long in a cooperative multitasking system.

[replying to GP so as to not fork this thread too much]

> A kernel (because that's where interrupt handlers are located) can ensure that a thread is scheduled with N usecs of when it "ought to be" (which could be based on some sort of time allocation algorithm, or simple priorities or whatever other scheme may be in use. The kernel can say "oh look, it's been N usecs, let's check who is running and who is ready to run ... hey, time for Thread 2 to run". This is preemptive scheduling.

> No cooperative scheduling system can ensure this.

Sure it can: just poll for preemption every N usecs. You can even statically analyze the assembly code to calculate the maximum number of clock cycles between two points where you poll for preemption (in the event that your microcontroller has caches, you will want to use writethrough caching to help with this analysis).

> Your example involves poorly designed code, which is not the responsibility of the scheduler. Its job is just to make sure that threads run when they "ought to" - it cannot protect against priority inversions in user space and ensure that RT guarantees are met (pick 1, and even then, you lose).

This was the whole point of that example. A realtime scheduler only guarantees that a thread gets the CPU time it is promised. CPI time is one of (potentially many) contended resources in a multitasking system. It is so helpful because all tasks will be contending for CPU time and there are few other resources for which this is true (memory bandwidth, particularly on SMP systems immediately comes to mind).

To be clear: I like realtime schedulers. The are great and simplify many things; the analyses of tasks that only contend for CPU are greatly simplified by them.

Combined with the cash-strapped bean-counting tendencies of local governments this sounds like a recipe for suburbanizing services into cheaper land, at great cost to municipal inhabitants.

As a general example, there are one million public schoolchildren in New York City, many who attend schools in some of the hottest real estate in the country. Requiring cities to put that on their balance sheet would mean that governments are highly incentivized to make children commute an hour into cheaper suburbs to get schooling.
"Doesn't work" for me has had different meanings. Most of the time I start because I feel initial passion for the project. Then, positive user feedback fuels me to keep going. Things go well (more users, good feedback, sales), it's easy. Things don't go well (no user growth, no feedback which can actually be worse than bad feedback, declining sales), I feel terrible. Do I want to keep pushing through the tough times? That's the test for when to give up.
Shipwrecked by Rents (2023)
Should have 2017. Thought Karpathy was reviewing Apple Vision Pro.
I was a manager. That was a big problem, looking for an IC job.

My employees were close to my age, and got jobs, but it took years. These were top-shelf C++ geeks.

I was treated pretty badly, and decided it wasn’t worth it.
Yeah, I did eventually run into a few guesswork situations. But besides those, it was a lot of fun. On the 20% I really had to stop and think, because all the logic I already knew was there, but subtly different due to the number of neighbours, so new patterns emerged that I had to re-deduce. Still haven't successfully solved one! most of the guesswork I've had to do was around the edges. Maybe going somewhat down from 20% in total and having a smaller percentage around the edges could be a useful temporary heuristic until a potential solver is in place.

I also spotted a bug I think, where when you fail and undo, some of the mines are rendered similar to an empty cell, thereby spoiling where they are. This was on Firefox.

Somebody is getting paid for that fluoride.
Absolutely.

I did the same thing with my kids when they were toddlers.

I also asked water delivery companies about specifying non-flouridated water and they charged more for it (alhambra)...

But here is my main kicker, think of all the various drinks you buy, from wine, beer, soda, coffee, energy drinks, bottled water, water at the restaurant to go with dinner... etc...

All of them, 100% of them, are a product made using flouridated water. Unless they specifically market that they are not (which I would still question).

My dad owned Timberland Water Company in Lake Tahoe, and we served ~600 homes from our little water company, which was literally a spring in the side of the mountain, in Timberland, Lake Tahoe, and it fill our giant water tank and flowed into the pipes to the neighborhood below.

My dad single-handedly ran that water company for several decades. Never flouridated the water. Had a lot of frozen pipes burst though.

I wanted to bottle the water but the PUD signed a law preventing me from doing so.

EDIT: My dad had to sell the water company to the tahoe PUD (they had been trying to buy it for years) - my dad finally sold when he needed the money for cancer...

So the PUD bought it, and I wonder if they flouridate the water now that they integrated it into the entanglement...

According to this, "ALL WATER IS FLUORIDATED"

https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinki...

Timberland water is in Placer County water district now that PUD owns it, it controls how it complies to fluoridation....

:-(
Thanks for clarifying, that's definitely a more well thought through perspective than I gave you credit for before.

I guess I would avoid updating my beliefs too strongly when a measurement I generally find quite useful (in this case gdp per capita) does not perfectly map onto a more nuanced view of the world! As you say, it's only a single data point.
I agree with you, I wasn’t clear that I didn’t mean _only_ the company.
Python isn't oriented around defining and validating data.

For example, something like: "this number is be between 1 and 10" means you have to come up with a novel way to add validation, because it isn't built into the language.

Also, Pkl is meant to be usable everywhere. General purpose languages tend to be tied to their own ecosystem--imagine telling a Go developer that they need to install Python, set up virtualenv, and run pip install so they can configure their application. We'd like Pkl to be a simple tool that can be brought anywhere, and easily integrated into any system.
Once every other month I drive about 11hrs two ways. I'll pick a charger every 2-3 hours. 2 hours away the Tesla will say "Preconditioning battery for charging". It's pretty clear this is a bug. It's been there for at least 3 years, as long as I've owned the car. It doesn't give me confidence that FSD is going to work if something so basic fails.

Another thing that happens is driving down an effectively straight highway with 2 lanes on each side and only the cruise control on it will suddenly slam on the breaks in the middle of no where on clear day with no obstructions in sight. Again, no confidence in FSD.

I've also seen your issue where it tells me it steered to miss something but I don't feel any change.

Note: I don't have FSD nor do I have the highway lane change feature.

Gnat Static Analysis Suite: A Vision for Static Analysis in Ada
This sounds like what Microsoft has tried but failed to do in numerous iterations for two decades: OFS (Cairo, unreleased predecessor to Windows 95), Storage+ (SQL Server 7.0), RFS (SQL Server 2000), Exchange Webstore, Outlook LIS, WinFS, and finally Microsoft Semantic Engine.

All projects were either cancelled, features cut, or officially left in limbo.

It's a pretty remarkable piece of Microsoft history as it has been there on the sidelines since roughly post-Windows 3.11. The reason they returned to it so often was in part because Bill Gates loved the idea of a more high level object storage that, like this, bridges the gap between files and databases.

He would probably have loved this kind of technology part of Windows -- and indeed in 2013, he cited the failure of WinFS as his greatest disappointment at Microsoft, that it was ahead its time and that it would re-emerge.
