Most fast charging stations can’t do 800V ultra fast charging anyway. Even here in Norway, in the region of the world with one of the highest densities of fast charges, I had to actively hunt around to find a charger that could take my Hyundai Ioniq 5 over 200kW.

Even when they build a 200kW charger they will usually put in several 100/150kW chargers. So I don’t think your point about capacity of charging station network is valid. We’re also starting to see some concepts where a certain capacity is just shared among a bunch of cables. At my local supermarket I can get 150kW if I’m the only one charging or 75kW if there’s another car there. So if you charge slower it just releases capacity for others charging at the same time.

Anyway, I suspect any desire for ultra fast charging will mainly be for first time EV buyers. I did have to fast charge my old
Kia Soul EV a lot. But our Ioniq 5 I’ve never in two years fast charged other than to test how fast I could get it to charge in the month after we got it.

Even did a whole road trip through Denmark without anything but destination charging.

150kW charging and 60kWh is what I think would be enough for most people, if they have overnight charging at/near home. Not to be dismissive that some people have a real need for more.
First:

> so you'd better be prepared to listen and support them

... is in my opinion basic management 101.

---

Concerning your other points: I do believe that I at least somewhat know how to work with such people (though I never managed such people).

For example, at a former job, I worked under such people; they really liked me, because I was one of the few people who were actually capable of "understanding" their visions and make them understandable to less intelligent (but still smart) colleagues.

I really have a tendency to be liked by frustrated highly-smart people, both because I really love to learn from them and I think I am a decent person to talk to if you are really frustrated (on the other hand, much more "ordinary" people often reproach me for being "unapproachable", "having my head in the clouds", "always being so negative", "complicated to work with", ... :-) ).
> Additionally, government salaries aren't terrible when you factor in the pension. Most people want the money now. But if you want financial security in the future - that's a reason a lot of people chose to work for the Fed.

This varies by agency and field. The older pension system was replaced with a newer model a while back so a prospective federal employee is looking at the combination of effectively a 401k, a pension of 1% top salary per year of service, and social security. That’s not bad but your salary is capped at under $200k so you're not getting anyone with IT skills turning down FAANG positions unless it’s for a cause they support (NASA, the VA, etc. can do that a lot more effectively than Agriculture, etc.). In other professions, of course, that can be pretty different – if you’re an academic who isn’t able to/interested in switching careers to ad-tech, that might be a great job compared to getting in a cage fight for a handful of tenure-track positions.

This matters a lot for security because the defense needs to be everywhere. NASA will never run out of people who want to work on robots because rovers are cool; the IRS needs people who can modernize internal business systems and that’s not only not cool but will get mockery from the more clueless people they know.

I guess this is good news for the Voight-Kampff test.

https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Voight-Kampff_test
Here are some simple but most used ones.

# go back to the last directory
cd -

# run last command with sudo
sudo !!

# truncate file
> /tmp/file-to-truncate.txt

# show directory size
du -sh my-dir

# refresh output of command every 2 seconds (needs watch command)
watch ls /tmp

# check how long a command takes
time du -sh mydir

Then I also have a neat function for cd ..:

function ..() {
for i in $(seq 1 $1); do cd ..; done
}

# cd ..
..

# cd ../../../../
.. 4
Thanks, this is a great, succinct way of summarizing the paper.
I could have used this on the weekend. I was working on my car, and though I had watched a few videos about removing the door, and electrical connections, etc etc. I missed on some of the details, or had to make a mental note of "this, then this, not the other way around".

What I think might be a great addition is if you had a screenshot for each point? Though I'm not sure how you'd figure out which image would best capture the action.
I have trained myself to shut off work when I stop working. This took a lot of time. Very rarely nowadays is my sleep or time outside work disturbed by what is happening at work. It’s a meditative practice, but once you really get in the mindset of work being for work, family for family, sleep for sleep, etc. then you stop being bothered.
This was absolutely my first thought.

In Germany he'll need to get buy-in from the board, which will include employee representatives (I've not looked at Bayer specifically, but either directly, or through a supervisory board that has real power), while also convincing shareholders that he's going to either goose the share price short-term, or actually add value long-term. While the hope for the German corporate model is that it delivers on long-term value for both employees & shareholders, it has not held up to much long term scrutiny unfortunately (which isn't to say it is bad, just that it hasn't necessarily shown itself to be better than most other corporate governance models). What it has done is make for innovative CEOs, and not necessarily in the US model, as they try and negotiate the pitfalls.

This word you used, "independent" has a term in these kind of probabilistic systems, its called "memory". A system is memoryless if the next outcome is not dependent on previous outcomes. A coin flip is such a memoryless system. The odds it will rain on a particular day is not independent of pervious outcomes; such a system is not memoryless. All the examples in your comment share this property and so the reasoning doesn't strictly apply to memoryless systems.

The author is not making this point, and early on, he calls coin flips "Markovian" which is synonymous with "memoryless". Independence is assumed in this article.

Just like the Turing test turned out to be the wrong problem, AGI is the wrong goal. As long as AI can stoichastic parrot its way to success, who cares if it's AGI? My washing machine broke and I want my robot to fix it. it doesn't need AGI to diagnose and fix the problem, it just needs to have seen that in the training data.

The real shift comes when the robots are dexterous enough to fix each other. that's when no new jobs will be created to fix them because they can do it themselves.
Automation can eliminate lots of jobs without replacement jobs.

But other times will also created new higher level jobs.

Especially when automation impacts a companies total cost for a high-demand independently consumed service or product. So that decrease costs can translate into decreased pricing for an upwardly elastic demand. And the revenue growth results offsets the need for fewer workers per revenue.

—

But most jobs within a company are only part of a product or service. With other parts not as automatable.

In this case, even automation that produces higher level jobs is likely to produce far fewer of them. Since savings in part of a value chain increase profits but impact total costs, and therefore pricing, at a much lower percentage. So increased demand is less likely to offset job reduction.

This is also true for any product or service from one company whose demand is anchored to any complimentary services or products from other companies.

—

Worse still, automation taking over only part of a high employee count, low skill job is very bad for employees. The number of workers is likely reduced, and as the job becomes simpler, their replacability goes up. Their value, and therefore pay and respect, go down.

They start to get managed ruthlessly, like just another part of the overall automation.

I expect the vast majority of Amazon’s headcount, across each of its logistical divisions, fall into that latter category.

> And even if you have to reboot, how long does it take? A minute? How much does that minute downtime cost? It can cost a lot and for that case you have HA.

HA shouldn't mean "we deploy a few times a day which drops our uptime to three minutes so we have to spend a lot". One redundant server and a load balancer is hardly HA and increases costs by tens of dollars a month.

And frankly, a minute of downtime is the optimistic case. It all goes to hell when you have a failed software deploy that needs to be rolled back. Or when the application server has a bug that causes crashes and needs to restart every few hours.

A single-server setup is only useful for companies where the technology matters far less than the service being provided. If you can tolerate an uptime of only 2-3 nines, great, but that's absolutely not reasonable for companies where the technology is the service. It's not rocket science that paying customers are going to be pissed if your site is unreliable.
Google search thrived from the third party websites. RSS incentivized and enabled those third-party websites. By killing the reader and RSS, they helped consolidate the web into unsearchable walled gardens like Facebook. If those decision makers still work in Google, that's a reason for continuing Google's downfall.

The decision was probably based on two reasons:

1. They wanted users to discover content using their algorithm as opposed to manual subscriptions to RSS thus depriving users of content Discovery agency.

2. They wanted to promote Google

The mix graph does a pretty good job explaining why nuclear makes sense at night.

(Newer reactors use a big pool of molten salt as a battery and can time shift production. I wonder if the same trick could be used instead of grid-scale battery storage. I also wonder if it’s possible to play games with heat pumps to convert from electricity back to stored heat. That might be easier to ramp than new nuclear.)

Just so I understand, this is essentially faster because reading all the model weights takes more time than calculating the model output?
I think it’s great that functional programming is making its way into traditional imperative languages - even JavaScript (I recently came across https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/ as a pretty extreme example)

Elixir/Erlang has function-level pattern matching, which I really like. I’ve yet to see it anywhere else, though my understanding is it came from Prolog.
Actually the 'Gambler's Fallacy' is an example of Cognitive Dissonance. You are holding two 'truths/fallacies' in your head at the same time.

Truth/Fallacy 1: There is a 50/50 probability that the next flip will be either Heads or Tails.

Truth/Fallacy 2: In the long string of flips, the probability is that there will be a 50:50 distribution of Heads and Tails, so the next flip be a value which will tend to regress the overall value to the mean of 50:50.

If you hold to Truth No. 1, you have no difficulty in believing that 1000 flips can come up 1000 Tails just as easily as the 50:50 result.

If you hold to Truth No. 2 you are guilty of subscribing to the 'Gambler's Fallacy'.

Which way do you jump? :)

The non-open license is a blocker for me; an editor is perhaps the most important tool for me as a programmer, I'm unwilling to risk not being able to use it how I want. This looks like the same reason that made the author write their own editor. I won't do that, I will stick to vim and emacs.
Because Netflix was more convenient than piracy in the golden era of streaming, especially for non-English speaking folks. I think people tend to forget that piracy isn't that much about media preservation at all. It's in fact extremely common for sites to nuke anything non-English as soon as possible.

So, unless other native language speakers band together to archive and share media in their own little community, they're shit out of luck. Now, of course, also forget about nice pre-made media automation setups since they'll break down as soon as you leave the language of English.

> I'm betting that open access to NACS and the supercharger network by other brands' EVs is going to be detrimental to Tesla in the long term, because that's one of their biggest advantages at the moment.

Other brands have to pay for access, and cannot sell EVs without access to the network due to consumer range anxiety. Tesla either gets unit margin, or a cut of legacy auto EV sales for network access.

You're correct, QBR = quarterly business review in this context
"Thinking out loud”… that’s how I view the process of writing code. I start with a concept, then think my way through the solution by writing code.
This seems a bit backwards. Most demand for automating existing jobs is driven by the specific goal to reduce workers and labour costs, so of course there will be fewer jobs afterwards than before - otherwise the automation didn't fulfill its goal from the companies' POV.

They have that power due to corrupt elected officials, who is the corrupt elected official here? You need to write giant hit pieces against every corrupt politician who introduces such things or these things never get better. That will be almost everyone at first, yes, but as things improve it will be less and less, and after a while it might be like a typical country instead of almost every politician.

The problem isn't that lobbying is allowed, the problem is that corrupt politicians are allowed to act without punishment due to the press not caring about it. Blaming "lobbying" is just politicians way of deflecting blame when it is their own fault.

Is it really worth worrying about? This strikes me as pedantic. Once a program can no longer allocate memory, it's very likely toast anyway.

Edit: @naasking, all good points. Still, isn't the general strategy to ensure memory isn't exhausted, rather than handling such a situation "gracefully", whatever that means? :)
Real ID has more or less happened. States still issue IDs that don't meet those requirements, but at some point it's likely enough to actually become a requirement for using the ID to fly (instead of being delayed again).

Agree with this. It's such a strange mindset to me.

There are two aspects to assembler. One is the target machine - learning what instructions, memory, performance characteristics you're dealing with.

The other is the assembler - what syntax it gives you, how it handles macros, whether it optimises, whether it does any semantic analysis. GNU AS is different to NASM is different to flat assembler.

I didn't get much out of reading compiler disassembly relative to handwritten assembly. I'd recommend trying to find some of the latter, might need to be maths libs or video codecs or similar. I'd be interested in recommendations here, the asm I learned from was proprietary.
