>> Newbie Tesla drivers who weren’t used to the car’s instantaneous acceleration and immediate braking were running into obstacles or getting rear-ended, sometimes even before they left the rental lot. Hertz’s Teslas got into accidents four times more often than the company’s other vehicles.

That statistic from the article shocked me.

Four times?!

Apple explores home robotics as potential 'next big thing'
Decades ago, I knew two couples doing the "she heads off to work, he stays at home" thing.

Both husbands were doing essentially non-remote work at home (academia and a home-office business). And had multiple children to look after, at home, as part of the deal.

I've had the Fidelity 2% card for a long time. It's simple, and mostly no-nonsense. It's one of my two "everyday carry" cards, and what I use for everything except Amazon and Whole Foods Market (WFM).

For Amazon and WFM, I use the Amazon (Chase) card. Since WFM has replaced or outlived most of the grocery stores near me, this is my other carry card, and it doubles as a backup card if the Fidelity 2% has a problem.

I almost added a Target 5% store card recently, because being a cheap bastid overrides being a minimalist bastid. But I abandoned the card application form, when something about it seemed a little too invasive. So I'll keep doing the Fidelity 2% card when I shop at Target, and that makes Target prices a little less competitive.

This is not correct. Fine-tuning can absolutely add new knowledge to a model. It's been repeatedly demonstrated at this point.

LIMA demonstrated that instruction-tuning and output formatting could be trained with a limited number of samples, not that finetuning was incapable of adding new information to the model.

It may be sub-optimal in most cases to RAG, but it does work.

> The EPA has wide unilateral authority to ban new uses, for which we have little to no usage data for. But if we start executing those uses and get actual usage data that a substance is harmful, the EPA is toothless?

It’s not toothless, but it has to use that data to make a stronger showing of harm balanced with economic impact.

You’re looking at it only from the point of view of avoiding harm from pollination. But the economic side of that dichotomy is that it’s less pain to ban something that nobody is using yet than something that’s widely used and people rely on.

Nothing to brush off.
It's because Tesla's navigation automatically adds charging stops to the route. Also you add billing info when you set up your Tesla account (which the car is tied to) so you don't do anything besides plug in. While you're driving you can see on your car's screen how busy nearby chargers are, whether any stalls are out of commission (an extremely rare occurrence), and what the maximum charging rate is.

I've tried 3rd party chargers a few times and gave up on them. They're often broken or extremely slow. They usually require installing some app, and you don't know whether they're occupied or not until you get there. In contrast, Tesla's chargers are a consistently good experience. Without them, I'd simply never use my EV for road trips.
I was the French if I'm not wrong.

They said it 'suddenly decelerated.' That is NOT what you are supposed to do when a car is in the breakdown lane.
> For example, she had to walk in the cold (Maine) from her hotel to her car...

Equivalently, she chose a hotel without chargers, or without enough chargers. How much extra time and money would it have taken to find a hotel with/near chargers?

Which travel search engines/ OTAs/ directories allow you to find hotels with L1/L2 chargers? (Do they list number and ratio of chargers/rooms?) Just like how most of these allow you to search on free parking, breakfast, wifi, disabled access etc., I see this as a feature that will become common then standard.

EDIT: to the down-voter, this is on-topic and substantive comment. Per my other comment here, the onus is on the rental company to actively incentivize behavior modification in first-time-EV-renting customers, help them plan their trip, not just to merrily slam them for fees. Assuming Hertz want loyalty and repeat business (if not, then this is a wider issue with them, not with EVs).

Hey team! Looks great, I checked some of the examples on github.

A few questions regarding the web version 1. What is the total weight of loaded resources? 2. If I would like to add some animations to my website. Maybe even just a few simple animated icons.

That didn't quite work. At least in my Netflix.
One of my more unpopular opinions is that Swift would’ve made a good successor to Java for server development. Syntactically I feel it is in that smalltalk-inspired vein and feels like a pretty elegant balance of simplicity and robustness (strong typing, concurrency friendly primitives etc etc). And the reference counting based memory management is really interesting for servers where consistent latency is desirable. I know there’s a working group on it and a small community, but it never seemed to take off and get the kind of Linux optimization needed for high performance. Am I wrong?

As much as I like taking advantage of rewards programs as a consumer (and boy I do), if given the choice I would actually prefer merchants paid very low fees and I got no rewards.

That's just my personal preference. It seems like a much fairer system. I just don't like that middlemen take an unfair share, even if that middleman is me.
Don't know the brand unfortunately - I was basic and just asked the workshop to do it, because I don't have the tools to adjust the chain. I just thought it was interesting to me that the mechanic explained to me that they come in teflon coating.

...significantly hampered by low-earth-orbit microsat constellations like Starlink. It boggles the mind that there are half a million microsats planned for launch in the next ten years. Starlink is already causing issues for launches, cutting down launch windows and even blocking ones that had been open because Starlink moves a satellite without clearing it with anyone first.

TLDR: the telescope's field of view means that it will be nearly impossible for them to find a "clear" patch of sky, the brightness off satellites saturates the CCD, which in turn causes crosstalk during readout of the CCDs, and even just masking the primary streak is difficult. I'm sure there are optics issues as well from such bright objects, in the field of view and not.

> During the nominal 30-second visit to a sky patch, satellites in 400-600km LEO orbits typically move about 15 degrees across the sky (about four times the diameter of Rubin Observatory’s field of view), and are visible a few hours after sunset and before sunrise. With 400,000 satellites orbiting Earth, tens of thousands of satellites would be visible above the horizon and it would be difficult to find a circle of 9.6 square degrees anywhere on the sky that does not contain satellite streaks. Simulations of the LSST observing cadence and the full SpaceX satellite constellation show that as many as 30% of all LSST images would contain at least one Starlink satellite trail. With the planned constellations of 400,000 satellites at 400-600 km, all images in twilight will contain streaks. The OneWeb constellation at 1200 km will be visible all night long in Chilean summer. Measurements of the brightness of the current LEO satellites in their final orbits indicate that these trails would cause residual artifacts in the reduced data. If these LEO satellites can be darkened to 7th magnitude, then a new instrument signature removal algorithm can remove some of the residual artifacts. This is challenging due to apparent non-linear crosstalk between the 16 channels on each of the 189 CCDs, the cause of which is still under study. The bright main satellite trail would still be present, potentially creating bogus alerts and systematics at low surface brightness. Masking of these trails is not 100% perfect. This is a challenge for science data analysis, adding potentially significant effort.
We do support Graviton! I actually _just_ enabled them today, which we're calling "beta" for the moment: https://depot.dev/docs/github-actions/overview#depot-support....

The challenge with Arm is actually just that GitHub doesn't have a runner image defined for Arm. For the Intel runners, we build our image directly from GitHub's source[0], and we're doing the same for the Arm runners by patching those same Packer scripts for arm64. It also looks like some popular actions, like `actions/setup-*`, don't always have arm support either.

So the disclaimers for launching Depot `-arm` instances at the moment is basically just (1) we have no idea if our image is compatible with your workflows, and (2) those instances take a bit longer to start.

On achieving fast startup times, it's a challenge. :) The main slowdown that prevents a <5s kernel boot is actually EBS lazy-loading the AMI from S3 on launch.

To address that at the moment, we do keep a pool of instances that boot once, load their volume contents, then shutdown until they're needed for a job. That works, at the cost of extra complexity and extra money - we're experimenting some with more exotic solutions now though like netbooting the AMI. That'll be a nice blog post someday I think.

As an intermediate Go player, you are given a handicap that your opponent spends the game chipping away. They are on the defensive from move 1, and they have to counterattack. Mostly this comes by making a move that defends against your last move, but puts you in retreat. The game shifts from them answering you to you answering them.

I'm curious, what's the point of renting 300 cars in a year? Why not just buy a car? That's close to renting a car daily, no? Unless you're flying to different places and renting cars there every day?
The only issue that I've had with SwiftUI -and it's a showstopper- is that SwiftUI makes writing fairly basic apps insanely easy, but really has problems, when I try to veer off the beaten path (which describes pretty much every single one of my projects).

Apple has always enabled staying in their desired UI and workflow, but I've usually been able to find a way to coerce the system to do what I need.

That appears to not be the case, with SwiftUI. You need to follow The Rules. Workarounds are crazy complex.

But I love working in Swift. It's just that I ship [UI|App|Watch]Kit.

People who want to yamlize everything really need to develop a rewarding hobby to occupy all of the free time they apparently spend trying to come up with justifications for yamlizing everything.

But config files that are more difficult to construct make it easier to nudge people towards paying for cloud-based configuration management and delivery services, so I guess it's the way of the future.
I used to essentially be a consultant (left that life behind this year). My title was Junior Partner / Assoc Director.

I'd on one hand advice executives (public, private & gov) on strategy (usually focused on tech but also growth, finance etc.) and work with on-the-ground staff to figure out what was going on & implement changes (meaning tons of travel between my home base - Toronto, to on-site - all over US / CA, to engagement HQs - usually NYC / Washington / Chicago / Seattle / Nashville etc.)

I also took tons of (very-short) vacations in-between because I used to get super burnt-out (eg. my last day was Dec 31, and I ended up working at a client from Dec 5th to Jan 1st and flew back on the 1st to start my new job on the 2nd) and I love driving so I'd rent cars and drive all over (eg. Toronto to NYC to DC or Seattle to Vancouver to Whistler to Kamloops to Edmonton to Calgary, Toronto to Halifax etc.)

I used to joke that in general, any car I rented would come back with at least 1k km if I had it for more than 2 - 3 days)

Fun life (I'm just turning 29), enjoyed my job (tons of perks like I earned points for a lifetime on Air Canada and Marriott - my family used to joke that I'd treat my home as a hotel as I spent more time in hotels than at home), but I was grossly underpaid (I gave up a role that paid me 2x what I would have made for this) and I ended up on the wrong side of the politics at the consultancy (big 4) so I left on my terms (for a much better role) before I'd have been forced to.

Yeah 5 seconds is from stopped to running, but to get that speed we need to pre-initialize the root EBS volumes so that they're not streaming their contents from S3 during boot. The GitHub Actions runner image is 50GB in size _just_ from preinstalled software!
You might not know them, but HR does. No way your employer is sending them money every month without a reasonable degree of certainty that they are who they say they are. Or, at the very least, that they aren't 3 hackers in a trenchcoat.

Slow cooking is very easy in a microwave oven, but only if it is a good oven that has a power control with many steps, which allows the selection of a power much smaller than the maximum.

For instance my oven has 6 power steps, the maximum is 1000 W and the minimum is 100 W. This is enough to be able to choose for any food how fast or how slow to be cooked, within a large range. However, even the equivalent of slow cooking is much faster when done in a microwave oven, because the heat is introduced directly inside the food, so it is heated uniformly in all its volume.

On the other hand if you like food done by sauteing, a microwave oven is not helpful for that. A microwave oven is optimal for replacing boiling, steaming, roasting or baking for any kind of vegetables or meat (also for dough, cakes, creams, eggs). The vegetables that contain much water, e.g. potatoes, sweet potatoes or quinces, are more tasty if they are not boiled but just baked in a closed glass vessel, without adding anything to them. Meat is also done best by roasting in a closed glass vessel without anything added.

A microwave oven is not useful for replacing frying or sauteing.

Nevertheless, in my opinion, these are bad habits. As a general rule, it is useful to heat only the parts of food that consist of proteins and carbohydrates.

Heating any kind of fat cannot provide any useful effect from a nutritional point of view, it only degrades the fat and it makes it harmful, even if many people are addicted to the taste of burned fat.

I have transitioned from cooking with a traditional oven and kitchen stove to using only a microwave oven a few years ago, but I had stopped heating any kind of oil or fat many years earlier.

I add to the food the various kinds of oil that I use or any other kind of fat only after the food has been cooked and it has cooled down.

Except if the taste of burned oil is desired, there is no need for using oil or fat when cooking in a microwave oven, because when using closed glass vessels it is possible to heat anything of interest without the risk of the food sticking to the vessel or becoming burnt.

Yeah, it's usually tourists or people vacationing from their beach houses. It's sad when more than one person drowns this way, because it usually means the additional people that lost their lives were trying to rescue the others. Recently happened to a parent and their kid here.
> If your logic was true...

I think you're taking a stronger interpretation than what I wrote.

I'm not saying no one ever spent any crypto.

I'm saying that because it was deflationary, people tended to spend less than otherwise. This was so bad with bitcoin that it failed to be usable as a currency.

If my logic were true, then when interest rates were higher and people could make more money doing nothing, then people with access to investment opportunities would tend to spend less money.

Which is exactly what we are currently seeing.
"Smart home" has really fallen flat across the board, from smart speakers to the Roomba. It would be great if Apple changed that, but I'm not optimistic. I just don't think people really want smart home devices all that much.

We don't re-use the VMs - a VM's lifecycle is basically:

1. Launch, prepare basic software, shut down

2. A GitHub job request arrives at Depot

3. The job is assigned to the stopped VM, which is then started

4. The job runs on the VM completes

5. The VM is terminated

So the pool exists to speed up the EC2 instance launch time, but the VMs themselves are both single-tenant and single-use.

Imagine that they tell you to take "weeks" to train specifically for their 5 leetcode interviews process. And still, at this point, it is just to "determine your level". Will it be done then? no, you will still need to do more interviews with a few different teams to see which one can be a mutual fit between you and them.

And I guess that you will still have management/HR interviews to complete that.

We do both. You can’t just fine tune if you’re trying a different model architecture, or even change some of the hyperparameters on an existing one. Every now and again you might be able to reuse some of the weights, but that’s about it. That’s part of the reason research is so incredibly expensive and time consuming in this field. I bet that $80k is only a fraction of the overall cost for the model described in the article, too.
I will add that, even in a business setting, open source package repositories are pretty good for sharing code and a closed-source marketplace would add a lot of friction. When people at different companies want to collaborate on making improvements to a library, do you really want to negotiate a contract?
