I'm sure many already know this, but EVs are much more commodified than ICE cars are, and the trend will continue. An EV is a battery on wheels.

Batteries will be increasingly commoditized. So the remaining differentiators are software (usability) and brand.

You can make software a winning differentiator - Apple has done it - but why would VW succeed at this? Their best-known software to date was to cheat the emissions test.

That leaves brand. My guess is that Scout will be VW's biggest moneyloser since DieselGate. But at least they'll employ many Americans for a few years, which is a positive.
*In a healthy competitive market with a consumer-base that's well educated on potential consequences of their purchases.

I do agree with the principle that a space-hogging marginally profitable business is detrimental to a community. Just that the opposite is not necessarily true; profitability does not imply beneficiality.

Humans do not fit the model of "rational self-interested agent" commonly applied for economic models. Gambling and addictive substances are two hugely profitable business sectors that would not exist if it we're remotely accurate.

I'll also preempt someone's inevitable assertion that the burden of verification should lie on the consumer. In informationally antagonistic environment, it's absurd to expect each individual to individually vet every service and product. That's a phenomenal waste of labor that favors only well-funded organizations practiced in deception. Any rational group would pool resources and have a single org do the research and share it with everyone. Oops we've reinvented a government.
aren’t they supposed to lose money? i though they were subsidized by the business specifically to collect data that can be used elsewhere.
Wow, someone on the Internet is advising me on my own subjective experience! Amazing!
And, the latest edition of Learning Perl covers up to v5.34. I also provide additional exercises in Learning Perl Exercises (<https://leanpub.com/learning_perl_exercises>), and cover new features in Perl New Features (<https://leanpub.com/perl_new_features>) so I can update it faster than the paper books.

But yet, Randal had beat into me the idea of explaining "why" on everything. You'll notice the basic pattern in Learning Perl and my other writing is that we show the expedient thing, tell you how that fails, improve that a little, show how that fails, and end up at a better final solution. That path shows quite a bit that's ancillary to the task at hand, but also shows how the pieces work together and how different parts affect the solution. I'm usually frustrated by other language tutorials where they say "just do this" without saying anything about why the various parts are there.

Learning Perl was originally written with a C programmer audience, so it assumes that the reader is comfortable with ideas such as variables and looping. I have another book I might recommend for beginning to code: Squeak: Learn Programming with Robots. Sure, it's Smalltalk and literally written for teenagers, but I think it works. It reminds me of the fun days of Logo.
It's also compressed while sending so that is most likely the unpacked size you see there.

This appears to be a journal article. Why should it have citations? This is an arena where people are supposed to be doing primary research. "I have a PhD and this is my opinion" is probably at least 20% of academics.
Yes. Directly – no CDK or wrappers – using the serverless transform when it makes sense.

I know how CloudFormation behaves, and none of the wrappers have convinced me that translating through CloudFormation makes sense. ("through" because if you're using CDK, you're translating from imperative to declarative to imperative... why?!)
What you want or not is not related to what's best for a society. This radical individualism is, at best, short sighted.

You will benefit from a society that has healthcare and education, even if you individually would prefer not to be because you might not directly need it if you have your private money for your own healthcare and education. The rest of society might not and living in a society where people are decently treated is better for you in the long term.

From your own words:

> Would have done tons of things like this if I didn't have student loans hanging over my head.

With access to low cost/free education you'd be free from this, hence giving you more freedom. Healthcare is similar, without the lingering fear that it might bankrupt you in case you are not well covered you have more freedoms, you don't depend on an employer to have access to healthcare that won't destroy your life.

The warped view of freedom in America is baffling, you prefer to be "free to" than "free from". True liberation usually don't come only from being "free to"...
not going to lift weights then lol
I didn't ignore what you wrote, I disagreed with it. It may be clear to you that potential infinity is the way to assess the volume of the towers but I think it is incorrect.

I don't think that volume is the appropriate thing to use for the sort of size comparison you want to make. The argument you made is that we should consider one tower to have twice the volume of the other because we can fit it inside twice. I don't think this is a useful notion, since it is trivial to to fit one tower inside the other tower arbitrarily many times if you slice them up a bit.

I think the sense in which one tower is twice as big as the other is captured by another quantity you mentioned already - the cross-sectional area. You don't need this potential vs actual infinity stuff at all. You just talk about whichever of the volume and cross-section is relevant to you.

> That's completely wrong. You are operating under the assumption that potential infinity is a number.

No type of infinity is a number, but I was indeed working under the assumption that it could be used as a cardinality since you told me you could understand volume with it, and I told you I understand volume as the cardinality of a set of unit-volumes filling the universe. If potential infinity can not be understood as a cardinality it seems entirely impossible to talk about it being the volume of the universe.

> Consider the set described by the interval [0, 1]. Is it countable or uncountable?

Neither, it is finite. We are talking about volumes here (used as short hand for lengths/areas/whatever is appropriate for the dimension), not cardinalities. Its volume is 1. If the underlying space is continuous then its cardinality is going to be uncountable, if the space is discrete the cardinality will be finite (not countable but finite), but either way the volume (defined by the appropriate measure) will be 1.

> Otherwise the tower would have both countable and uncountable volume at the same time

Nope, by fairly standard arguments your tower can be partitioned up into an countable number of unit cubes, and it emphatically can't be partitioned up into an uncountable number of unit cubes. You can use essentially the same argument that says one can't partition the real line up into uncountably many unit intervals.
would that make terraform faster as well ?

Unfortunately, in some situations it does matter. There's a very visible change in the organization from last year, when I was excluded from meetings, to today, where I (or similar senior people from the team I recruited) are included.

It's been very striking, the teams are executing much faster, we're building better things, the engineers seem happier and take more initiative, and the software is higher quality.

Yes, any decision in itself probably doesn't matter much, but an accumulated year of single decisions across the whole company matters greatly.
>Over time I expect more and more of that will get moved locally

I'm not so sure whether this is the direction of travel. The economics are pretty harsh for local, general purpose AI. And battery will always be a limiting factor.

If you're sending a few hundered requests per day to a very powerful AI then sharing the cost of the inference machinery with others has overwhelming economic advantages. And it will need access to current data anyway, so it can't be completely local.

There will be tasks such as keyboard autocomplete and a lot of other specialised tasks where latency or privacy is more important than quality. So yes I do believe in hybrid. But I think the cloud will always do the heavy lifting when it comes to more general tasks.

I can imagine an alternative scenario where a lot of AI processing happens on Mac and PC and mobile devices benefit from that. But many people don't have powerful desktop devices. So I'm not sure Apple can rely on this.
The suitable lossy-ness (of any compression method) is entirely dependant on context. There is no one size fits all approach for all uses cases.

One key item with emerging 'AI compression' techniques is the information loss is not deterministic which somewhat complicates assessing suitability.
Ha, fun to see this again! Back before everything was HTTPS, it was fun to use the Browser Exploitation Framework (https://beefproject.com) which had a script included that did this. Though in those cases I wasn't in control of the gateway, so ARP spoofing was required to get other devices to route through me.
It's a nice number to advertise, but AWS really should make all CloudFormation deployments much faster. There's no reason why updating the code of a single Lambda function should take 30s or even several minutes. It should happen in less than a second, the time it actually takes to call the Lambda API. In general it is way too slow to update a big CloudFormation project comprising many stacks, when only a small portion of the resources are actually changed. This slows down development of CDK based projects for no good reason.
It also feels a little strange in writing. Examples:

"Figure Figure11 shows a mountain gorilla lying on the ground on his side without a pillow" - Of course it is without a pillow, it's a mountain gorilla! What is this clarification?

"To start with, some Westerners have to hold on to a doorframe." - Would it not be better to say "you may have to hold on" or "newbies"? It is not like Westerners have some special physiological feature that makes them do it, it's about lack of practice.

Vector to me is more than just "high-performance" - It's a true swiss army knife for metrics and logging. We regularly use it to transform logs to metrics, metrics to different format, push them to different datastores, filter them, etc. It's wild how flexible this program is. It has become my first choice for anything regarding gathering/aggregating/filtering/preprocessing observability data.

Pre-rendered in this context means you still have access to the full 3d scene so you can generate the full gaussian splatting model from that. The benefit here would be to lower the cost of rendering that complicated scene. There is a game called Fantasian (by the former FF dev) that uses real-life dioramas as backgrounds, I bet this tech would've been perfect fit for that too.

> How much does an enterprise desktop PC with a 3+GHz CPU cost? Surely less than 2K USD. How much does a developer cost?

But the software runs on the computers of all of their users. How much money do their users' computers cost? If you have just 10k users, probably $10M or so? But software companies don't pay for my computer's resources. The money I need to spend on computer hardware isn't priced in to your calculus at all. They don't care.

I find it pretty frustrating and sad.

I guess I’m surprised that your claim is basically that datadog’s advantage is in ingestion. I would have assumed they would be focusing on trying to make a product so good that people wouldn’t want to switch from it. Vector supporting multiple backends would be good for datadog if it can get more people in the door, so long as their product is compelling enough for people to stay.

I don’t know what exactly you mean about otel but elsewhere in this comments section someone linked to upscale, which uses vector to collect otel logs. Is that a counterexample?
Terraform is too low level. If only there were L2 / L3 constructs like CDK. There are modules, but often only community / 3rd party.
This is obviously a problem, but it does appear to be an intermittent one, and not easy to provoke for me. I upgraded last week, and have seen precisely one unexpected exit of a JVM process, and I think that memory analysis toolkit running out of memory, and I have been running a lot of stuff.

Yes, Peter Attia says this precise thing in his book 'Outlive' and also his podcasts. I stopped using the gripper after that.

I started lifting weights 1 year and 2 months back - whole body compound lifts i.e. deadlift, squats, bench press, overhead press - and results are phenomenal.

Before that had been doing body weight for a decade push ups/ pull ups/ planks, and for some reason thought it was sufficient for me. Only when I pivoted to these (lifting weights) after a chronic pain developed due to excessive running, did I feel the difference.

Overall lifting weights and counting protein intake seems to be life changing. The chronic pain also went away.

I assumed by "running away" they meant they'd just leave the airport and live as undocumented/illegal immigrants.
I don't think it's fair to outright dismiss it because it is not a systematic/empirical study (and the author explicitly mention that). In the case of posture, stretching & training I think there's several exercises out there that doesn't have a rigorous empirical study to back it up, yet can be explained to be good/bad from our anatomical understanding of the human body.
> You shouldn't misuse unsafe Rust to create `&str` or `String` with invalid UTF-8.

Sorry - I think my comment wasn't clear. The point of from_utf8_unchecked isn't to create strings with invalid UTF8. The point is that if you know that your string has already been validated, you can skip re-validating it.
Good. Uber has definitely improved the taxi experience in Australia, but operating at a loss to get business with heavy undercutting at the scale Uber did harms the market potentially permanently.

Congrats.

Also, remember that is where it starts to get dangerous.
No, nobody needs to check the proof; that's the whole point of formal theorem proving, the machine checks it for you.
Taxis in Australia, like many other places, used to abuse their customers. Uber truly made a difference; these days, Uber may represent questionable value in Australia, but at the very minimum they managed to change the behaviour of an entire industry, which is a huge positive.
Which other JITs behave like this? AFAIK neither V8 nor Spidermonkey nor LuaJIT rely on segfaults as a normal part of their operation?
Can you please provide an installation link? Searching Google Play for it brings a lot of junk.
I understand the argument. Fortunately, Go makes a lot of promises that makes this scenario unlikely. So in real life this becomes mostly a theoretical issue. It could happen. It just isn’t terribly likely.

And if it does happen, it is likely a lot of other people will find themselves in the same boat, making a practical solution emerging more likely.

And note: the same thing could happen, and is more likely to happen, if you use a third party library. Some of the libraries I’ve used for years are no longer actively maintained, for instance.
“The problem does not affect most typical Mac users, as Java was deprecated for the Mac back in 2012.”

You can do better - generate synthetic data covering all topics. And to make it less prone to hallucination, use RAG or web search for reference material. The Phi-1.5 model was trained on 300B of synthetic tokens generated with chatGPT and it showed a 5x bump in efficiency, punching well above its line.

Synthetic data can be more diverse if you sample carefully with seeded concepts, and it can be more complex than average web text. You can even diff against a garden variety Mistral or LLaMA and only collect knowledge and skills they don't already have. I call this approach "Machine Study", where AI makes its own training data by studying its corpus and learning from other models.

As of recently, Docker on MacOS has improved and AFAICT the performance penalty is gone.

librem5 is a binary blob provider. and you mostly fell for a scam.

they signed the same NDA as other OEM.

your so called open source drivers are full of binary blobs, which ironically are just the chip manufacturer reference implementation code compiled, with little else.

In what way?

I've always found that Terraform does it exceptionally well, mostly because of the dependency graph and how good providers map resources so that they don't end up in a dead lock.
