The other interesting effect I notice is that in rural communities especially, you find a lot more long-term employees that have just stayed because it was the solidest employer of the time.

Between jobs and before I launched into my current IT position I had a small stint at my local Walmart just to make ends meet -- MANY of the staff had 5, 10, 15, and even 20+ year service badges. Many of those 20+ year employees were there as the concrete was being poured and have been here since that store first opened in the community.
Can anyone provide context for how common this is in a newly released production car?

They probably should have know better, but this seems like a fairly innocent mistake to me... I thought it could be an issue with the car's computers which in my eyes would be more concerning than a relatively simple mechanical issue. Interestingly the cover of my car's pedal fell of this weekend, although I can't see how this would cause the pedal to stick in my car (it's a Fiat).

Is this still true in the age of the smart TV? I’ve never looked but always presumed they had essentially the guts of a crappy Android phone with the radio transceivers replaced.

They get apps and updates now so I would’ve assumed some semi-reliable persistent storage. This really doesn’t even need to be persistent; resetting on reboot would be perfectly fine.

I’ve no doubt they would struggle to cache “real” 4K, but at the bitrate most of this 4K stuff is sent at, 1 GB of cache should be at least 5 minutes. Netflix recommends at least 15 Mbps for 4K streaming. Even doubled to 30Mbps, that’s ~4MB/s, or about 256 seconds of content cached per GB.
Oh man, the cybertruck is a deeply unserious vehicle.
I had similar issues (also with pfSense) during my ISP's rollout of IPv6. It seems that it was all ISP related. I turned it off and came back a few months later and it's been pretty flawless ever since. The only times it causes problems is when the ISP's v6 stack goes out, leaving us with interrupted v6 service but working v4. Doesn't seem that apps handle that situation very gracefully.

At another site I manage they have Starlink with v6 and CGNAT v4 and it's great, just plugged in the dish to the pfSense router, set up v6, and it's been ticking away happily ever since. The only problems we have are with the old devices (iot and such) that don't get V6 addresses, and have trouble with the CGNAT. (Seems like it doesn't reset long-running connections correctly perhaps, they just get stalled out. Killing the state on pfSense usually gets them working again.)

So I suspect it's more a your-mileage-may-vary situation depending on ISP than an issue with v6 or pfSense.

The function pointer is initialized at build time, and put into a read-only section in the executable. This is impossible for default arguments, in general. Many of them would need to be dynamically initialized.

Anyway, it's more than one way antithetical how default arguments work in C++. It's not Python, C++ doesn't have default argument objects in any shape and form. Default argument expressions are expected to be evaluated at call time, with all of its observable implications. The feature itself doesn't mesh well with virtual functions, but there is no reasonable way to resolve it. You either break the intuitions for virtual functions or to default arguments.

Good? It's tax-advantaged for a reason. As a taxpayer I want people paying for their own retirement. I don't want social spending to explode because people don't save enough. The penalty (which is not nearly high enough IMO) is there to dissuade people from using it as a piggy bank then mortgaging their future and the social spending of their neighbors because they want to buy a new Tahoe or put an addition on their fully-mortgaged house.
Diode based lasers have driven the cost to laser cut plywood down to affordable levels (~$200 for a creality/comgrow/chinabrand 5w laser). I just bought two of them off ebay as "customer returned" for $75 dollars a piece. they work great on the 1/8in plywood and 3/8in foam i've been cutting. Haven't tried 1/4in ply yet but I bet going slower or multi pass and it will do it.

Edit: It easily cut 1/4 ply (used 2 passes, but judging by the burn marks behind it I only need one). And that's without air assist to clear to the smoke which would help it cut deeper.

There are separate static builds for aarch64 and x86_64, those are put into a "fat binary" that runs on current generation hardware/software combos (osx with aarch64, win with x86_64 and linux with both).

This is unlikely. While transmission lines may go DC, all of the distribution, the lines that goes from a substation to peoples houses, in the US is AC. Although it’s possible to wire a house for DC, and people have done that, many of the appliances we use, use AC power.

Although AC phase matching is a delicate technical problem, it’s one we’ve solved for over a hundred years. DC presents other engineering challenges that are non-trivial. For example, circuit breakers for AC power are designed to “break” when the AC curve hits zero volts. This eliminates the chance of arcing and makes breakers smaller and cheaper to manufacture. A DC breaker has a chance of arcing and it may be necessary to make them larger, or use exotic gasses with high dielectric values to prevent this from occurring. Either of these increase costs for homeowners.

> Chinese EV brands and models

Not all of them. Most Chinese EVs in Europe are SAIC (MG Group) or Geely (Volvo, Polestar).

BYD hasn't entered the market yet, let alone the upcoming brands like Xiaomi, but is largely targeting Eastern Europe as their initial phase.

Also, Smart was only recently resurrected as a German-Chinese JV.

> even the Dacia EV is actually a Chinese car

It uses the CMF-A, which is a French-Japanese joint platform.

German automotive players tend to have JVs with China and targeted the Chinese and (before the war) Russian market. French automotive players tend to have JVs with Japanese players and targeted Europe, South America, Korea, and India.

> US is an exception

They are available in the US as well under the "Volvo" and "Polestar" logo, as both are subsidiaries of Geely.

> Many western brands are manufacturing in China and exporting globally

Absolutely! But for now they don't have significant marketshare YET. It's still Tesla, BMW Group, VW Group, and Daimler-Benz Group (which is going to start using a Chinese platform as they fell significantly behind).

In the US EV platforms need to be domestic in order to be cost competitive, but in the German automotive industry, they're going to start importing Chinese EV platforms (as German automotive brands were almost entirely dependent on China - the VW Jetta was China's Honda Civic).

In the next year, that kind of importation will most likely be banned and retroactive tariffs will be in place by June-July [0]

On a US$ 60-100k product it's absolutely a slap on the face, no questions, there's absolutely no reason to cheap out on a fastener for the pedal trim.

Also puts in question what is actually happening on Tesla's engineering org, one just needs to have a moderate amount of reasoning power to think about the scenario "what happens in case this piece gets loose?" on a critical feature of a car, not even an engineering-related study nor a big brain, it's just a reasonable thought to have, so how could this piece pass all the engineering process review?

That wasn't my assumption, for what it's worth. I understand that it's about the lines not the end points. It's a good point though, that the lines they worried about the risk of might be nowhere nearby.

I suspect you're right about what the process was. I think a more succinct version of my view is this: I think we shouldn't need to speculate about this, we should have the details of this process available to us. I understand that info about specific lines might be sensitive, but we should know what the process is for this.
The video here demonstrates how a loose pedal cover can wedge the accelerator.

They don't really give any specifics and I'm not sure if they give you the keys or explain how the keys are derived (which I assume must be based on your login if they don't make you enter it otherwise they must be able to decrypt it whenever they want) but they mention they worked with Latacora[1]. Also curious if anyone else has any ideas on how they prevent themselves from being able to decrypt user data while implying they're not using E2EE[1].

[1]: https://help.limitless.ai/en/articles/9130680-privacy-with-l...

Edit: I just tried it. They don't give you encryption keys you need to enter when signing in and the server literally sends you your transcripts with no encryption. Maybe they're including a key somehow derived when signing in with Google/a magic link in the request, but I don't think anything would stop them from just logging API responses even if that was the case. They're definitely not using E2EE. They might just be encrypting at rest and storing their keys in AWS KMS which sounds like false advertising.
They absolutely can. Anyone around them for long enough has dead spots in their eyes.

Maybe not checked in, but I've made "tests" before where the code really doesn't assert things, but whether it compiles or not is what I'm after.

It's far too easy in Typescript to do something where you actually lose your type safety without realizing. So I could for instance have some dummy code that calls foo.bar() but crashes in runtime, and my goal is to fix the typing throughout some generic functions so that it catches the mistake compile time.
> With TB, you know exactly what are you getting.

The article is literally detailing a Thunderbolt device that behaves differently when plugged into different macs, precisely because of the ambiguity introduced by the USB4 modes.

"You know exactly what you are getting" is a story about a specification being unambiguously written. It doesn't say anything about what happens when you have dueling specs on the same port, which is the problem here.

How is this policy enforceable? There aren’t any reliable ways to detect LLM-generated text, are there?
My understanding is that utilities keep a percentage of the cost of capital improvements they make. This is because the utilities’ original arrangement from way back when was designed to incentivize the rollout of electricity as fast as possible. To that extent their incentive is actually to undertake the largest and most expensive development projects possible. The issue with distribution infrastructure as I understand it is not a lack of will or incentives on the utilities side but simply the difficulty in acquiring right of way and permitting.

> "People aren't saving enough for retirement" has been the case forever. It's human nature to prioritize urgency over importance, and when it's most impactful to save for retirement (your early 20s) you're making the least and it's really hard to justify maxing out that 401(k) and Roth IRA as a new grad in an expensive city, or in a non-HCOL area making comparatively less. Not a lot of 20-somethings want to drop a third of their gross into a retirement fund especially if they have high earnings potential as most people reading these comments do.

It's a huge stretch to pin that on the proliferation of credit.

Most people reading these comments aren't the average person. We live in a privileged bubble where we have the income that generates the possibility of being able to own property.

There are far more people living paycheck-to-paycheck with the "assistance" of a credit card than we would like to admit.[0] If there weren't, the Fed wouldn't have injected so much money into the economy during the pandemic. They did so because the average person doesn't have the savings to not work for a month, and because the US federal government doesn't have the savings to give out the money as funded by tax revenues.

Sure, depending on how you want to draw a line around features. Compose won’t do multi-node orchestration of deploys (I.e. update backends 1-3 sequentially, and revert the change on all of them if any fail to deploy).

It also doesn’t manage your configs; ie if you need to roll back, it won’t do that for you (though git will let you do that pretty easily).

I think Compose is great for the niches it serves; I have a lot of stuff that still runs on Compose because it doesn’t need any k8s stuff yet. I just don’t think it can be honestly called a k8s replacement. Compose offers equivalent features for some kinds of apps in certain situations, but k8s is a broader tool by far (for better or worse).

I'm not sure businesses would be interested in a modular laptop, I always assumed they prefer to just buy new ones when the time comes rather than having someone spending the time to service them for the needed uogrades. Currently, they don't even bother trying to reinstall Windows, which I think it would solve most of the performance problems that surface after about 3 years of operation of a laptop (assuming it's used for office work).
I can honestly say I don't think I've paid much attention to what the pedals in any car I've driven look like.
I really wish someone would make a pendant like this which is focussed on local-only use. It could connect to a mobile app or computer for transcription and summarisation, but using local models or an API key that the use chooses. I would pay serious money for a device high quality that did this (>$500) if it was backed by open-source platform/infrastructure for processing the managing the audio. Even better if it was written as an extension or fork of something like obsidian, or if the data structures were fairly open and there was an API for querying the data in interesting ways.

Recording and processing audio locally is something I already do. But there's absolutely no way I'm EVER going to trust a startup with this sort of data, any anyone in any serious job would almost certainly be unable to use it for work.

I guess the risk is that someone would sell a crappy pendant that uses the same software, but I still think there's a potential niche here for people who want something that just works.

I'd also purchase the software from the App Store if it was otherwise only available as a non-signed binary.
