Would BYD even be able to sell it here for $10k? Pretty sure Trump slapped a bunch of tariffs on Chinese vehicles, and Biden may have hiked those tariffs. To me, the logical step is for Chinese vehicles to build factories in Mexico and then ship vehicles into the country so they qualify as NAFTA vehicles. No way will it be $10k, but it certainly won't be $40k like other electric vehicles.
I have high hopes for wasm on the desktop for app plugins. Loading a whole binary DLL/SO is such a risk. VMs like Lua don't give you enough performance. VMs like Python and Java require huge effort to embed.

Once the SIMD stuff is in, it may even have enough performance for music plugins. wasm codecs would be real cool too. Nobody likes having to build and install ffmpeg. `ffmpeg-4.0.wasm`... just imagine.
Well, admitting otherwise would be admitting failure of managing that company and we can't have that!

The original VW Beetle begs to differ.
My personal observation is that where many people struggle the most mentally is across the three statements (balance sheet, income statement, and cash flows), 1) that that balance sheet is point in time and the other two are over some period, but 2) how a record entry effects each of the statements…e.g. if you sell an asset for a gain causing a change in the composition of the balance sheet (asset > cash, reversals of accumulated depreciation etc.) income statement (income in excess of basis) and cash flow (actual cash received)

Nobody in the USA wants that market. There isn’t even an interest in under 25k cars. I don’t see any issues allowing these if local manufacturers aren’t even willing to make products at 2x the price
Aside from being a long-standing obsession of Musk's, the thing about the 'everything app' is that it's the Hail Mary move which could make the Twitter thing anything but a dumpster fire immolating $20b+, Musk's reputation, and several years of his rapidly-shortening QALYs. If you force as many people as possible to subscribe, you can then flip them to the 'everything app' and bootstrap a big enough bloc of customers to matter that you control their demand. (cf. Stratechery).

It's not going to work, but it is the only story you can tell yourself and employees about how the Twitter saga ends in any way other than Musk losing interest and getting distracted by AI again and Twitter spiraling into the drain and possibly being dumped into bankruptcy by its debt load.
It should worry the EU industry more. People in the US don't buy city or compact cars. They buy bigger and more premium ones.
Should be safe to allow imports then, right? Since nobody but me would buy one. :-)
1% is where the problem is.

User side of false negatives: You miss skin cancer. The user delays a visit to a doctor by a month. The user dies in 3 months, and her relatives sue the hell out of the model creator.

User side of false positives: The model thinks a blemish is malignant. The user spends few grand to verify it is not, and blames you for scaring her.

Doctor side of false responses: The fucking engineers do not know what they are doing. Please, my patients, do not use that. We the doctors and the responsible patients should unite against the stupid AI.

Arguably, the user's side is about being moral. The doctor's side is more important for adoption.

BTW, what is the accuracy, false positives and false negatives for just an AI model, just a doctor, and a doctor equipped with an AI helper model?
In terms of UI/UX, I believe Apple provides the best development toolkit and guidelines for developers. I'm not using any custom UI component for CompressX, it's just a few buttons, toggles and a video player, but the overall UI looks good enough and consistent with other applications in the macOS
The visa holder thing might have been true for maybe 3 months before and after the takeover. The job market was absolutely on fire at the time (early 2022). Anyone who wanted to leave should have been able to, especially considering they were good enough to be hired at Twitter.
Edit: Now before commenting, I see there's an overarching theme of: sure, there is a bunch of unhealthy stuff about social media, but meanwhile there are some things you can do to make your interaction with it better.

> That's where social media has been most damaging. You can't share your thoughts anymore. The 'Redditization' of the world means that sharing thoughts is met with hostility. No longer can you just throw something out there, no matter how stupid. These days you have carry an entire encyclopedia with you in order to back up every last thing you say and if you utter anything that isn't deemed 100% perfect by those listening, the social scorn will fall upon you.

I think that's an important point, that I think is partly due to culture of the spaces. For example, I almost never downvote anyone, and in particular not for them being wrong, unless it's something particularly harmful whose visibility would be damaging, or just a troll (quite rare usually). The downvote button seems important for those rare situations (maybe just a mod button would be enough?), but in general it should rarely be used.

Not only I've come to believe asking questions is important for beginners to learn, but also it's an important medium for everyone else (and in particular experts or more advanced learners) to exercise their knowledge by teaching stuff and learning to fill gaps in their knowledge.

I actually think reddit is pretty good in this regard, specially w.r.t. what we had before and other media like StackExchange. In SE, you're expected to search the site and often questions are met with arrogance. In oldschool forums, which I do like, there was (in almost every case I remember) an even greater air of elitism; although, on the other hand, it created a healthy eagerness to learn the norms and participate in a careful way. I tend to prefer the lower-stakes communication of HN-style boards though.

I think as with everything massification is a significant problem. I encourage everyone to participate in communities whose size feels 'just right'. Also, at least some of your interactions should be highly participative, and not just mindless consumption.

I think a final problem is that any activity of too narrow scope can be dangerous. If people are confined into extremely narrow interests and spend all their time on that, as opposed to learning everything about life, that can (and probably will in most cases) paint a distorted picture of reality and be very unhealthy. Broaden your curiosity :)
Im surprised to see military traffic over the US. They tend to fly with ADSB out turned off and have an agreement with FAA to be able to do that. Also surprised to see gliders who generally don’t broadcast ADSB out. In the US, we are required to have ADSB out within most controlled airspace and within the mode C veil of a major airport (within 30nm and up to 10,000 MSL). So most GA planes have it but remote areas have planes without ADSB out.
It was state not federal, plus it wasn’t in the US.

Maybe it is different in the US, but my experience is legislators generally don’t want to micromanage agency budgets - they’ll give the agency a bucket of money to spend but will leave it up to senior management to decide exactly how to spend it. Whether the agency spends $1 million on new LDAP servers or $1 million on new network switches is not the level of detail they want to drill down to, to them it is just “$10 million for X agency IT”. But for her, although she was responsible for proposing and delivering those projects, it was the level above her which had to approve carving them out of the overall budget, and that level was much more enthusiastic about paying for sexy stuff like identity management than boring stuff like replacing ancient network switches, even if the enterprise actually had a much more urgent need for the latter. So she just quietly redirected some of the sexy budget to help pay for those boring necessities
I hope so. The price of EVs in the US market is ludicrously overinflated.

It's understandable for new startups like Rivian, Lucid and co, but in the case of existing auto manufacturers, early adopters are subsidizing the cost of redeveloping tooling that should have been easily covered by nearly a century of profit leeched away by shareholders.

GM, Ford and Stellantis should have been able to produce a sub-$20k EV by now, and none of their offerings should have ever been more expensive than a comparable trim ICE vehicle.
Yes totally, but it's still scary knowing that the only thing standing between you and destruction is a political policy.

Also: if you consider climate change to be an end-of-the-world catastrophe, then it's pretty easy to make an argument to consider changing the tariffs at some point.
How is this different? Kobo is a mass seller of ereaders, they sell what are IMHO the only real contender to Kindles. They also sell ebooks, so they are very interested in making content for color ereaders. Before I clicked the link, my though was "OK, another color ereader for 700€, for the headlines". But they are color ereaders for 150€! For the first time ever, I'm very tempted to buy one, even knowing that I don't need it.

> Nobody in the USA wants that market. There isn’t even an interest in under 25k cars

That doesn’t mean the market doesn’t exist. I could see these being sold in Mexico and Europe. At that point, the American car industry becomes an inefficient protected industry. American voters have limited sympathy for those in the long run when it comes to consumer goods.

That said, it’s unclear if BYD can make a $10k car that meets American safety (and useless regulatory) standards.
Justification for the assertion?

In a democracy, over the long term, short term interests win out over long term interests. This is true of both the citizens and the politicians.

In a monarchy, long term interests win out over short term interests because they're dynastic and stay within a family. There is a natural incentive for long term thinking that comes with a monarchy.

This problem is not democracy itself, but the incrementalism that occurs in democratic systems. At least in representative democracies, every few years another person is elected to carve out provisions to benefit their special interests. In theory, this would be the constituents. But in practice, after the politicians realize voters are unorganized, uninformed, and as self-interested as everyone else, the politician also focus on themselves (and you would too). Compound that over hundreds of years and it's should be clear as day why democratic governments inevitably grind to halt, become ineffective, collapse, and are recreated from a clean slate.
So did I, as an American. Locale, culture, and parents' values probably have more influence on this than continent.

That said, I don't think there's anything particularly strange/hilarious about people congregating in spaces built for congregation or feeling nostalgia for those spaces and experiences as they've begun to fade away. Memories can be made anywhere, and not everyone has access to the green spaces that you and I did as children.
As a counter-example, the fall of communism in Eastern bloc was (mostly) a very peaceful process. A notable exception was Romania where the ruler was particularly cruel but in several other countries the system changed without one shot being fired, even though surely there were quite a few proponents of the old regime.
> The "credit" and "debit" terminology is ridiculous because their definitions swap around depending on which account you're talking about, which is an utterly absurd (mis)use of language and the main reason people find this confusing

What would you suggest as an improvement? The article suggests "incoming" and "outgoing" which seems to have the same issue, as does everything I see in your comment (the person spending 5$ on lemonade sure as hell isn't putting 5$ in their accounts sales entry).

I'm not fully understanding the confusion both here and in the article.
Interestingly I sort of went in the other direction at one point -- converting what was obviously a graph (build pipelines) into a from-to / credit-debit representation. On reflection it's just an edge list.

My main problem with adapting the representation was in the incommensurability of different kinds of asset moving through the pipeline. How does one credit source code and debit a blob store? I thought about learning more about multi-currency accounting as a source for ideas but never followed it up.

That effort inspired my thinking about a "Universal Asset Graph" for software[0] -- keeping track of not just containment but also movement and transformation of software. It's a partial but not complete inspiration for GUAC, which aims to capture software part relations for easy querying.

This quote from the end of the article is good:

> With this in mind, maybe Wasm is mainstream. Spencer notes, for instance, that anyone who browses the web is likely to be interacting with WebAssembly on a daily basis.

I think that's correct. Non-Web usecases are a more complicated story (that the article focuses on), but the Web side is largely complete and successful, and that was the original purpose of Wasm. In that sense it's already succeeded.

>How one spends their time isn't purpose, it's just a description of their day.

My examples were sarcastic, based on those being bad ways to spend your time.

That said, I don't agree that "none of these examples are examples of purpose". Or at least I don't think purpose has to be something big, like "do great good", "cure cancer", "get rich".

Those could very well be descriptions of someone's purpose, they would just be unhealthy purposes.

> Unfortunately, QuickBooks won't help you understand accounting. It's not a true double-entry accounting system, at least it wasn't the last time I touched it.

QuickBooks absolutely is a double-entry accounting system. The "bookkeeper" mode abstracts away and hides what's going on under the hood, but if you enter "accountant" mode, you'll see the full ledger, and you can even make direct journal entries to modify it.
Neat! Then we should allow them into the market, right?
Lol, the joke here is depending on rural areas. You may wait a few hours just for an ambulance to show up in the first place.
> how about we work on shelter?

we are. I built my place 20 years ago; from lumber i bought pre-milled, delivered to my site on a truck. I didn't hafta cut any trees myself and make them into boards. The cost of that lumber (measured however) was a fragment of what it would have been 200 years ago, too.

Same thing, tho. The forestry industry then could only be called "nascent" in comparison to today's. The input labor goes down but it spreads out and becomes hard to quantify compared to being able to say "one human with hand tools can turn tree into X board feet of lumber in N hours"

I've wanted a color Kobo for years, but I'm a bit disappointed.

The main benefit of a color eReader is for (some) PDFs, comics, etc., all of which benefit hugely from a larger screen than the Libra's 7" display. I hoped Kobo's first color reader would be at least 8", and preferably 10.3". Carrying all my RPG PDFs on a color eInk display would be super cool, as I find reading on such a device much easier on my eyes than an iPad.

I think the argument for color is much weaker on a book-sized reader. You get the library and sleep screens (which are admittedly cool to have in color!), but the rest of your usage will mostly not benefit. Kobo's PDF software isn't great, though there are third-party readers you can install that improve the experience. No matter how good those are, though, they still benefit greatly from a larger display.

Presumably, this is just the first step. IIUC, the Libra 2 is their most popular reader, so I suppose it makes sense. Just a bit disappointing.
Most minors don't smoke or drink, even though straw purchases of booze and cigs are a thing. Social media is even more amenable to this type of gatekeeping because if most of your social circle isn't on it, you have no reason to be there either.
Indeed this article uses a weird framing, if anything this seems more like a threat to EU manufacturers that sell small cars in a market where people want smaller cars, not US manufacturers that mostly sell SUVs and Pickups in a market where people are picking ever-larger monstruosities.
Literally in that article a man who has more stake in the game than you, Elon musk, says it’s an existential threat. This must mean Elon is completely delusional. There is no threat and no market for sub 10k cars because they’re too small for Americans.

Elon musk needs a reality check.
I’m guessing the Chinese government bears some of this cost, particularly R&D. Even the article mentioned the government subsidizing cost. Unless you don’t believe that.

Big discussion a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39973467
It's not like "Zen of Python" is an inviolable law, but things that break it are not, in my opinion, "Pythonic". The top 2 aphorisms are:

"Beautiful is better than ugly."

I think this is ugly. It's visually appealing, but my editor doesn't know that "csvbase" is a magic symbol that selects the code path to follow. That deep ugliness outweighs any skin-deep cleverness.

"Explicit is better than implicit."

That sums it up. This is implicit. `pip install foo` changing runtime behavior of packages that never import foo is as implicit as it gets. From a developer's and a security engineer's point of view, I loathe that code is running simply because it exists.

It's possible to do these things. I contend that it's not Pythonic, and we should not be doing them.
A little nitpick: they were always ordered by insertion, 3.7 just codified that behavior as a guarantee instead of an implementation detail.
Cool!

A lot of it is the frameworks available in Apple platforms. AppKit and UIKit are both wide and deep, providing just about everything needed to build polished apps while also providing well-supported “happy paths” for most tasks.

I can whip up a decent looking AppKit UI for a moderately complex desktop app that can handle the rigors of accessibility settings and internationalization in an afternoon without importing a single third party dependency. That’s hard to beat for indie dev projects.
