More objective looks at reliability put Teslas as a class very far down in any ordered ranking.

[Citation Needed]

There's a long history of such rankings being gamed by the auto industry. If you follow Tesla closely, it's quite obvious that so many of the rankings are simply designed to exclude or disadvantage them.

What's interesting is the despite this Teslas often rank near the top for owner satisfaction.

I can believe that both are true.

In automotive history, when there's disruption and car adoption shifts so massively, has it ever turned out that large numbers of people were deluded? Has it ever turned out that large numbers of people saw real value where complacent incumbents dropped the ball? (Example: Japanese imports disrupting the US market.)

That answer to both is yes. However, the 2nd has been more often the case. Also, the instances of the 1st simply don't last multiple years.

So if you consider automotive history, it's far more likely that loyal Tesla owners are onto something, and you simply want them to be deluded.
The machines are still incredibly reliable, much more than a rack full of Dells.

My master project shaped my career
Before flights with patchy/no wifi, I often download a long, single-page tutorial. This is perfect. Curious if anyone knows of any for other languages/tech (e.g. beyond SQL).
Thanks. Appreciate your feedback.

Do you think LLMs have meaningfully greater capabilities than existing tools (like Kira)?

I take your point on low stakes contracts vs. sophisticated work. There has been automation at the "low end" of the legal totem pole for a while. I recall even ten years ago banks were able to replace attorneys with automations for standard form contracts. Perhaps this is the next step on that front.

I agree that rewriting existing contracts is more useful than generating new ones--that is what most attorneys do. That said, I haven't been very impressed by the drafting capabilities of the LLM legal tools I have seen. They tend to replicate instructions almost word for word (plain English) rather than draw upon precedent to produce quality legal language. That might be enough if the provisions in question are term/termination, governing law, etc. But it's inadequate for more sophisticiated revisions.
> Who gives a shit? [...] I'm not sure what you are trying to add here.

I guess nothing. You must be fun at design reviews.
K8s introduced Auto rotation surprisingly late.

Even we run into that issue 5 years ago.

But k8s is still very young and the problem is solved for 5-6 years
Kzinti Lesson is a subclass of Jon's Law.

I'm thinking of the Lensmen series--the stardrive ejects non-interacting particles and thus doesn't tear things up. And since it's inertialess you can't use it to accelerate an impactor. However, you can go grab something that's already moving how you want, slap an inertialess drive on it and reposition it so that when the drive is turned off it's heading for your target. When it's a planet you fling around that can be pretty dangerous. And when it's a FTL planet (everything is Newtonian, this doesn't cause issues other than for the crew--can't allow one atom of native matter into your ship, can't use one atom from your ship in the drive on the planet) the results are spectacular.

(Note that they also have normal reaction drives in the Lensmen universe--the stardrive will get you to your objective but you still need to match velocities with it. And that does tear things up and we see it's use as a weapon, although not against a peer-class opponent.)
Yep, this is one of the initial motivations for creating Extism: https://github.com/extism/extism -- and it works across 16 host languages & 8 guest languages.
The problem this brings up to me then is it's just a worse missile that we hope can be cheap while still being effective. But there's a lot of systems that this drone needs to still be at all effective. Miles of range, with a communication system, and guidance of some sort. Doesn't sound like $5000.

The real winner is the swarm of highly effective missiles.

We build https://aichat.realtimex.co, a customer support AI working along side Human Agents. It's a RAG system with embeddings built from crawling pages of the website and user-uploaded documents including dynamic databases (such as products and pricing). The key difference with other LLM's CS products is the collaboration between the AI Agents and Human Agents. We are inspired by aircraft's pilots and autopilots collaboration. In this case, the AI and Human Agents silently collaborate to bring the best support to customers.
The queries are solid, but I really appreciate throwing in the worlds most confusing diagrams here and there. It keeps me alert trying to find where to even start with them. So to be clear, tables must have a name, and must have rows and the rows must have the same name as the table, yes?
Incidentally that's also a big part of why the people running the site don't like the name, and why the users do.

That depends on the constraints you have. Currently you can start a tail on multiple files if you don't need to distinguish the filenames in Logdy

- $ logdy stdin 'tail -f file1.log file2.log' this use case is described here [1].

Logdy currently works best with tailing, however exploring big files is not supported well as Logdy will stream the whole content if used like $ logdy stdin 'cat bigfile.log'. I'm planning to introduce another mode [2] that will work more like a 'less' command.

The older you get the more responsibilities and also regrets you have. With more responsibilities and the feeling of not being able to manage them you feel as soon as the THC goes away, it is hard not to get anxious as you age, and it also adds more regrets which directly add to the anxiety and feeling of self-defeat and lack self-control. At least that was in my experience and the reason why I dropped it completely soon after turning 30.

For the most part, it's a rhetorical question.

But there's a massive trend of people born wealthy to attribute their success to hard work, rather than giving any credit to the fact that they had a massive safety net if they failed at their ventures. Every billionaire was born a millionaire.

Taylor Swift had a huge amount of support, both financial and emotional, from her parents. Her parents weren't millionaires, but they were decently well off, enough that they could move her to Nashville just to help put her career on a launch pad. She's extremely talented, but talent alone is extremely unlikely to be enough. You have to be able to meet the right people at the right time in the right place. All that together takes money and flexibility, which aren't things you earn by just working super hard.
I've picked my fair share of outages on managed k8s solutions. The difference there is once it's hosed, your fate is 100% in the hands of cloud support and well... good luck with that one. The cloud apologists in this thread will ofc try to shame you for not buying into their marketing
Prep method matters so much though. For comparison, a standard double shot of espresso is typically 18g of coffee. This would yield approximately 110mg of caffeine.

By comparison, the same 18g brewed using a pour over method should yield an 8oz cup of coffee with … likely around 170mg of caffeine.

> Of course, without WASM, we'd be missing out on lots of cool software that was previously stuck on desktop/native.

Maybe not. Someone could have written a backend for GCC and/or LLVM that targets JS in the same way that Emscripten targets WASM (with JS around the edges).
It's kind of the modus operandi of Kubernetes since inception. The core model is okay, but ops was always a barely constructed afterthought. And the network stack (kube-proxy) was literally a summer of code project.

I'm thinking a lot of that was by design - both Redhat and Google had incentives to get you onto their value-add to get an actual production ready system.

It also created an entire cottage industry, although much of this has faded as everyone moved to purely managed solutions. Because anything else is absolutely insane.

One neat thing is that the hot spares can be used during boot to shorten the time to availability. Not sure LinuxONE boxes are bought like that, but for the Z-series you can buy the machine with more capacity than you pay for and pay for it to be enabled at a later point.
As I get into my late 40s, all I see is cargo cults anymore. Not just in tech, but everywhere. I thought we had people who knew what they are doing, but it feels like everything is being run by silver-tongued conmen now.
In the bad old days of self-managing some servers with a few libvirt VMs and such, I’d have considered a 3-day outage such a shockingly bad outcome that I’d have totally reconsidered what I was doing.

And k8s is supposed to make that situation better, but these multi-day outage stories are… common? Why are we adding all this complexity and cost if the result is consumer-PC-tower-in-a-closet-with-no-IAC uptime (or worse)?
She most likely doesn't know either.
That's not true, you can run a 30 years old binary on modern CPUs. The machine code you feed to the CPU didn't change much.

That's not true for GPUs, the machine code changes very frequently. You feed your "binary" (PTX, ...) to the driver, and the driver compiles it to the actual machine code of your actual GPU.
Is computing good enough as a literacy that anyone can use it to model complex ideas? Computers are simulators and can be used to model almost anything, sadly most people just use it to model old media (images, movies, text documents). As an example, can your [insert elderly relative] program it the same way he/she can probably string together multiple words to express a complicated idea.
No one in their right mind throws away lego.
In support of your point, I would add that here in the US, electricity rates don’t matter to high-density renters — EVs are only relevant to those who rent or own low-density housing.

My apartment complex, built in 2020 on a commercial power grid in a region with many EVs on the road, has 600 units, 10 reserved chargers, and a waitlist of 50. This is an unusually high number of chargers, relative to the single one my previous medium-density housing had. None of an hundred apartment listings has a charger when I search.

High density EVs are inconceivable to cope with given the American power grid and parking zoning laws as they are implemented today, and until changes made by force of law and compulsory upgrades occur, EVs will remain inaccessible to 90% of the US population.
> Joins are not a "hack," they are an integral part of the relational model.

Yes, joins are an essential part of the relational model, but we're clearly not talking about the relational model. The n+1 problem rears its ugly head when you don't have a relational model – when you have a tree-like model instead.

> The included query in the gist returns all available information about the albums present in a single query. No n+1.

No n+1, but then you're stuck with tables/relations, which are decidedly not in a tree-like shape.

You can move database logic into your application to turn tables into trees, but then you have a whole lot of extra complexity to contend with. Needlessly so in the typical case since you can just use SQLite instead... Unless you have a really strong case otherwise, it's best to leave database work for databases. After all, if you want your application to do the database work, what do you need SQLite or Postgres for?

Of course, as always, tradeoffs have to be made. Sometimes it is better to put database logic in your application to make gains elsewhere. But for the typical greenfield application that hasn't even proven that users want to use it yet, added complexity in the application layer is probably not a good trade. At least not in the typical case.

I've built a couple of recent Technics kits and noticed a decline in the clarity of Lego's instructions.

Instead of clearly showing the 'path' of each part in a step, that is how and where to connect it to an assembly, they now tend to show the assembly with the new parts attached. This leads to a game of 'spot the difference' with the previous step.

The timbre is also important. Tire and engine noise are closer to white noise, which you can tune out. An aftermarket muffler like what my jackass neighbor has is a single pitch that pierces through anything.
The financial stability of a passive $40k means you don’t need to worry about getting laid off. You can live a better life, follow your curiosity with low stress, and possibly discover a different thing you’d want to quit your job for.

That is interesting. I wonder if it's simply the cadmium and lead found in coffee concentrate in heavy users.
Quality is always a trade-off. If you're deeply into economics, you wonder about the trade-offs of cost to find defects before shipping, difference in cost of addressing defects before and after shipping including costs of mitigation from consequences of defects, % of defects that will never be found after shipping (and are therefore a real cost savings), and in the long game costs of having a reputation for shipping product with defects that could have been reasonably detected.

In a lot of software organizations with rapidly changing and undocumented requirements, there's a good chance defects will go unnoticed until they're no longer relevant, so spending a lot to find them before they're shipped is a waste. Mitigation of many software defects is simple, but some aren't; hopefully you know which changes are expensive to fix if wrong, so you can more thoroughly vet those.

In Aerospace, addressing defects after shipping is very expensive, and mitigating the effects of defects is only approximate; you can't restore passengers from backup, economic damages don't really make families whole, but should be an incentive not to let reasonably detectable defects be shipped.
There's nothing misleading here, you're just insisting that "recall" means "bring the car to the shop", but it's 2024 and that's not true any more. The government (and the car companies) will continue to call it a recall.
(As an aside, I think this discussion was about browsers, not about app stores. It matters a bit, because for browsers, the main complaint on Apple's proposal seems to be the geo-restriction, while for app stores nobody is complaining about that but there are plenty of other issues.)

If the EC decides to interpret the rules as requiring compliance globally rather than just within the EU, and the courts were to uphold it, it would be irrelevant that Apple's sales are being done via some shell company. If anything, it would probably be considered worse, since it'd be a clear attempt at circumventing the law. The products that the shell company would be selling would be found illegal, and one way or other the operation would stop. And the effect would be that Apple would have left the EU.

If your plan were actually a thing, every American company would already be doing it just to shield themselves against GDPR (which has fines based on global revenue, not EU revenue). But they don't do it, because it wouldn't work.

Natural ice on lakes is usually rougher, because it typically has snow on top that partially freezes on. Esp if there's frequent melt+refreeze.

There's the odd winter where you get ice smooth and snowless like a rink, but rare.

I don't think that's true for LinuxONE. One of the points is that it behaves as a large and fast (with lots of dedicated acceleration hardware) Linux machine.

I am somehow puzzled on how this goes into a downtime as implied in the article.

The control plane can be fully down - as in: you can shut it down - and everything continues to run. I've been in that situation multiple times with large clusters. E.g. one etcd node having disk issues, pretty much turning it into a lame service (even worse than true down). Kubelets got randomly regarded as non-healthy due to update latency. But everything continued to run. Another time API servers were leaking memory, and with that crashing, causing some herding that would crash each server as it comes up. No issues whatsoever, migrate to larger instances.

It's a pretty cool feature of kubernetes.

I am wondering what was done to let this cascade like this. The only thing I could imagine is that someone _wiped_ the etcd state, then brought it up, casing all things to go down.
I could imagine there’s a lot of toothbrushes near unsecured wifi hotspots. (Hotels, in backpacks of travellers in a cafe, a demo unit in a store) Could be as simple as polling continuously till one allows the device to phone home.
