Even if they have cash on hand, I'm assuming any big moves they would make are still really capital intensive because it's the auto industry.

By stuff Tesla and Musk have said, they are expecting slowing sales growth, but part of that is also because they said they are developing a new car. But other comments have just been standard demand and competition.

So is it just they don't think it's a good idea to keep expanding at past pace into uncertainty while hurdle rates got much higher?
I was building something like this for personal use but for Reddit to beat my reddit addiction (before they fucked up their API).

I called it Detox for Reddit and you could connect your reddit account to get your subreddits and then it would check distribution of scores for that subreddit and only send you the really good stuff in a daily digest e-mail.

The idea was that it would prevent the FOMO that made me check Reddit more often to avoid missing the good stuff among the sludge.

I wasn't planning on monetizing but monetization strategy would have been a limited number of subreddits (3-5) in a free version, all your subreddits in a small monthly subscription (like 1-2$) and then a larger fee to enable NSFW subreddits.

If reddit allowed them, I would have advertised directly on reddit in ADHD and other relevant subreddits like Productivity etc.

So I like your idea, I think it works as is but would be enhanced by having customizable thresholds or actual calculation of outliers so you can say give me the top 5% or 1% of posts.
I've found laptops always go back, but monitors they tend to not care about. I've been on contracts where they only want the laptop back, after sending you a complete setup with monitor, keyboard, etc.

On Matrix, that assumes the attacker knows where the server is or that it even exists. Whereas on Signal it’s pretty obvious where the server is, given there’s only one logical server.
No, as in the pernicious myth is that american democracy is a thing, that it ever existed, that it ever will exist, and/or that such a thing would be desirable.
Never grokked real market for it - all the toyota hilux owners? These type of cars are basically not used in Europe, you can sometimes see it on farms but almost never on the roads and general population simply doesn't buy them, they are not the best choice since they drive poorly and have high running costs, and also way too big for our roads and parkings.

Also, legendary hilux has solid reliability in brutal conditions (thats why every isis in desert has them, ideally with some gun or rockets mounted in the back). No way some early 1st generation of much more expensive electric car will match that. You want to have that safety of lugging around additional fuel tank or two in jerrycans and refuel in a minute, instead of doing additional mental gymnastic re chargers.

So a bad civilian car, and farmers are very price sensitive so not a great choice for them (now).
Why would you ever expect the opposite, i.e. American students of adventurous, New World colonizing and even Wild West background, to be less rebellous than Chinese students with a family history of 50 generations of tending to a rice field?

Not saying either of these options is wrong, and even hinting that the former may perform comparatively better in real life than their test scores suggest. After all, their ancestors survived.
The Iliad is the first book I read cover to cover. At 15. I hated reading fictions growing up and just got away reading cliff notes during middle school. The book changed my life not because I learned anything from the texts but I learned the merits of reading something cover to cover without taking shortcuts.

I also learned that some people can recite the entire book from memory which was my first realization of “100x” myth.
The core derangement of the current zeitgeist is the bravest truth tellers* are the most marginalized people, conflated with fringe conspiracy theorist wingnuts. Perhaps it is a result of "digital hallucinations" filter bubble reality bifurcation such that there is essentially no apparent common context or stable community with which to discover and relate to other people, and secondly, the unreasonable simultaneous apparent widening of digital community participation freedoms, with declines in locality connected in the real world and declines in purchasing power and wealth for most. (A good fraction on HN didn't experience the struggle of the downward leg of the K-shaped recovery, but I imagine some of us did.) Compounded also by a widespread lack of reading books and long-form articles.

> The point of the article, which I hope you did in fact read, is that some sites force dark mode on the user

You mean like just about literally every website (except a few that got shit for being 90s-era design) that forced bright backgrounds on users for the better part of 15 years or so before "dark mode" became a thing?
What's interesting about this is not that parts it got wrong, but the parts it got right.

The cacophony problem is still with us. With engagement-oriented social media, it's worse since extreme voices tend to get amplified where they might previously have been drowned out by all the noise.

Search engines were great for a while, and often remain quite good; I can instantly get the date for the battle of Trafalger, and I trust that the answer DuckDuckGo provided by way of Wikipedia is correct. Few people would put up a web page to lie about that. LLMs, however eagerly lie about simple, uncontroversial facts. I asked a local copy of the Mistral 7b LLM for the date of the battle of Trafalger and got three different answers, all wrong. Both interacting directly with LLMs and search engines finding LLM-generated content are likely to further reduce our ability to quickly and reliably find facts online.
I think there's an objective reason for the buyer to prefer that the shipping cost be baked-in. In the case of a problem with the product, such that I get a refund, I'll be getting back the cost of the shipping as well. If the cost were separate, then I'd have to eat that loss.

HN doesn't tolerate any kind of superficial political story, and this one, about a campaign tweet, is more superficial than most. But your contributions to this thread are a good illustration of why people reflexively flag stories about this controversy: HN is an engine for generating conversations, and we've seen what kinds of conversation we get when it's fueled this way.

astropy gets you the correct answer:

of course astropy is bit specialized and not really something I'd use as general purpose date/time library. But this is one good litmus test for datetimes, feel free to try it with your favorites.
This is the law in NZ at least. When selling to consumers, you must include the GST in the displayed price. If selling to businesses, you can display the price excluding GST.

> Although I think I recall that the kernel doesn't use Rust's standard library

Rust's standard library has three elements

core has stuff you get with the Rust language, like any use of Rust, Rust for Linux has core. You could technically implement Rust without core, or at least, without most of it, but that's not really the Rust language, you've instead made your own weird fork.

[T]::sort_unstable() is a core function which sorts a slice of some Ordered type T but may re-arrange elements despite them comparing equal hence the word "unstable".

alloc depends on an allocator. You may not have an allocator, e.g. you're a tiny embedded controller, in which case you likely don't want and can't use this. Rust for Linux re-implements alloc, basically cloning the "official" alloc and fiddling with it.

Vec::try_reserve() is a feature found in alloc, it tries to allocate enough space to ensure your Vec has a certain amount of capacity beyond its current size, and if not reports it could not.

std further depends on an Operating System, it offers exciting features like knowing what the time is, reading a file, connecting to a remote service over TCP/IP, or making a thread. Rust for Linux does not provide std.

File::create() is a std function which creates files.

The function you were interested in is part of core (although you were looking at its re-export from std) and so yes, it exists in Rust for Linux.

All That Rain Is Driving Up Cases of a Deadly Fungal Disease in California
Good idea but it seems that every developer of a project is going to have to use it, because it's a gem and it must be included in a layout. It's possible to do that conditionally based on an environment variable, but we're still adding some code to the Rails app. A better way would be to turn it into an extension to developer tools, like the ones for React and Vue. I've got them into my Firefox.
>tightly regulate price setting for drugs and medical services administered under that system.

One think I think worth mentioning is that there is a significant difference between price controls and purchasing controls. purchasing controls is simply refusing to buy if the price is too high, while price controls is mandating a miniumum or maximum price for X. nearly every successful medical system uses purchasing controls, not price controls.

IMO, one of the main reasons costs are out of control is a lack of purchasing controls.

Guangdong+Fujian became a major manufacturing hub because most of the business elite in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Phillipines were from the same clans and families in Guangdong and Fujian

Before the 2000s, Manchuria tended to be much richer and industrialized than Guangdong/Fujian because of Russian/Soviet, South Korean, and Japanese FDI along with the fact that it was close to Beijing and was the heartland of the CCP after WW2 so most SOEs were based there.

By the mid-late 2000s, China's financial sector formalized and a IB/PE/VC model similar to that in the US and Israel arose.

I interpret “let the market decide” as also charging market rates for street parking, in which case the resources are only as limited as the market decides -- if more people want to park than there is room for, the private market can meet that demand by building garages/private lots.

The High Cost of Free Parking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Cost_of_Free_Parking) is pretty eye-opening in terms of how non-drivers end up bearing the cost of parking minimums.
If the US split into 2 then China would offer to help one of the 2 pieces defend itself against the other piece, which greatly strengthens China's position in the world with potentially drastic effects on billions of people, so I hope that anyone talking about secession from the US is at least taking that effect into account.

Sounds like a Tesla killing recipe for the existing automotive industry.
you somehow assume that i care about any of this stuff. i do not. i simply don’t think the EU knows anything about anything and that it has the best interest of citizens at its core.

Strategy, Science and Life
Strategy is often talked about in complicated, abstract/ impractical and academic terms. But does it have to be?

In an increasingly online/ digital world, where almost any output or assumption can be measured and tested, it seems like a more scientific approach to strategy could be a simpler but no less effective alternative

Unless you espcially meant by ”App Store”, by Apples App store, it is Apple to blame in that case because it is not possible due to the encryption of app binaries.
Of course. That doesn’t mean they don’t care about the results.
No, unfortunately I only learned about it while debugging a very annoying issue that resulted from mixing automotive modules with off the shelf data center type managed switches and had to consult one of the system design technical leads, so I only got what detail he provided, but the intuition matches some of what you can get from understanding CAN.
First there would need to be signs of greatly increased productivity where it counts (customer facing). Somehow I have my doubts we will see that with the current crop of LLM.
I am not saying projects have not been completed or that money has not been spent. My view is it is far too difficult in the Bay Area to make significant progress because it’s too easy to derail projects. I look at how many years we keep pushing out the Silicon Valley Bart extension. How long the Richmond district bus lane. There is change happening but it’s far too slow.

> Also there's no way in any universe that the cost of getting an item to me physically via my car and a physical storefront is better for the environment than the Amazon or FedEx truck taking what would have been hundreds of trips to the store and making one run for everyone. I don't have a massively efficient logistics network.

Maybe not. But what about walking to the store? And certainly minimizing the number of trips those delivery drivers make by consolidating items instead of doing next-day by default certainly helps.
The day after watching The Last Jedi in theaters people asked me and my wife how we liked it. There was an awkward pause as both of us simultaneously realized that we barely remembered anything from the movie—the only response we could give was that it was forgettable.

So, if "it's weird that I didn't remember it at all one day later" counts as something that sticks with me and changes me, then yeah, I guess so?
Right - I think this is what's at the heart of the original question.

I know they asked with a continuous example, but I don't interpret their question as limited to continuous cases, and I think it's easier to address using a discrete example, as we avoid the issue of each exact parameter having infinitesimal mass which occurs in a continuous setting.

Let's imagine the parameter we're trying to estimate is discrete and has, say, 500 different possible values.

Let's say the parameter can have the value of the integers between 1 and 500 and most of the mass is clustered in the middle between 230 and 270.

Given some data, it would actually be possible that MLE would come up with the exact value, say 250.

But maybe given the data, a range of values between 240 and 260 are also very plausible, so the likelihood of exactly 250 has a fairly low probability.

The original poster is confused, because they are basically saying, well, if the actual probability is so low, why is this MLE stuff useful?

You are pointing out they should really frame things in terms of a range and not a point estimate. You are right; but I think their question is still legitimate, because often in practice we do not give a range, and just give the maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter. (And also, separately, in a discrete parameter setting, specific parameter value could have substantial mass.)

So why is the MLE useful?

My answer would be, well, that's because for many posterior distributions, a lot of the probability mass will be near the MLE, if not exactly at it - so knowing the MLE is often useful, even if the probability of that exact value of the parameter is low.

The point is that L(params) is not a probability density. The integral of L(params) over params is not one.
yes, but the likelihood of it being life changing increases as you watch older movies that have been filtered by time over many suggestions by word-of-mouth.
As they should have been in both cases. For most uses EV is superior, and this is the only way for Chinese manufacturers to meaningfully tackle the broader markets worldwide. You can’t compete with ICEs and hundreds of billions of dollars invested into that manufacturing capacity, supply chains, and know how. But you can entirely sidestep the whole thing. Which is what the Chinese are doing.
