Honestly, Musk's recent moves have me thinking less of "eccentric billionaire who I find annoying AF" to "this man is becoming completely unhinged".

The firing of all of the Supercharger team, in what essentially sounded like a fit of rage/spite, is so far outside the norm of what a rational person would do, even if they did think Tesla needed to make a lot of cuts. More importantly, basically all of the current scary state of Tesla can easily be laid at Musk's feet. All EV companies are struggling with reduced demand, but these decisions by Musk were obvious own goals:

1. Most importantly, Musk's incessant bad-mouthing of his biggest customers. Who does he think buys EVs more than anyone else? It's generally the "left coast chardonnay-sipping elite" that he craps on at every turn.

2. It was Musk's decision to handicap self-driving by demanding 100% reliance on cameras only.

3. Cybertruck is going to be/continue to be a disaster for Tesla. The ultimate "boy genius" plaything, Tesla could have easily doubled down on making an affordable truck or SUV but instead went for stainless steel-clad Aztec.

4. The supercharger network was Tesla's crown jewel. I've owned a couple other EVs and the other networks are (at least as of now) dismal compared to the supercharger network. And Musk just canned everyone.

You know, you can make money with predictions if you have the conviction.
Amazon has been incredibly hostile to labor rights for their employees, including worker safety, fair compensation, parental leave, provision of basic benefits, reasonable schedules, collective bargaining, etc. They've been cited by federal labor judges for systematic unlawful behavior, and are under congressional investigation. Hopefully there will be some real consequences sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath though.

In the markets for package delivery and warehouse logistics, Amazon's uncompetitive and worker-abusive business practices and basic design have been putting systematic pressure on other firms to similarly mistreat their own workers to compete. In the more general retail market, Amazon's unlawful (but thus far substantially unpunished) anti-competitive business practices drive smaller competitors out of business and extract rents not just from Amazon's own workers/contractors and suppliers but from the economy broadly.

> are free to choose to work for a different employer

This is certainly more true than in a feudal economy where peasants are literally considered the personal property of the lord, but in many of the relevant local labor markets Amazon is a disproportionately large and influential employer without enough local employer competition that employees can easily switch jobs. The only real way for employees to get a fair bargain in such situations is collective bargaining via a union, but Amazon is notoriously opposed to union formation at its facilities, which it blocks unlawfully wherever it can.

Amazon doesn't use systematic physical brutality or murder to maintain their power, as done by e.g. feudal lords or drug gangs, but they do routinely (unlawfully) threaten workers with loss of pay/benefits or termination when those workers exercise their legally protected rights, and unlawfully follow through on those threats when workers persist. Since most people need to collect a paycheck to survive, this kind of violence is not entirely dissimilar to more direct physical attack.

Raise corporate taxes on every corporation based on revenue. We have a graduated system of income taxes for people, do the same for corporations. Small mom and pop companies wouldn’t see an increase. But the Amazon’s of the world would.
It's nice that they are being honest about how the existing thing is not encrypted. Typically what happens with these things is that some entity announces that they have end to end encryption. But it turns out that they mean that end to end encryption is only possible. The user has to compare some ridiculously long number to achieve it and few users actually end up doing that. In most cases they are not even provided with any concepts to allow them to initially make things secure and maintain this security over time.
And yet I trust Tesla less because I observe their CEO as erratic and unreliable.

I agree that facts are facts and weigh a lot, I can’t exactly shut off the human nature in me that simply does not trust anything that guy controls.

Nuitka does something like this too, but in my experience does not handle signals as well as PyInstaller.

Do you do extract, fork process, cleanup? Does it handle signals sent to the extract process as if they were sent to the actual program?
My understanding is that a perfect hash function maps elements elements to a unique integer (i.e., it's a one-to-one mapping). I think PHF data structures will also always return a value. So if you look up an element not in the constructed PHF, you'll always get a "false positive" value.

In contrast, a B-field lets you map a key to an arbitrary number of (typically non-unique) values. So I could map a million elements to "1", another million to "2", etc.

I'm not especially current (or fluent!) in that literature though, so would love pointers to anything that doesn't have the above constraints.

> However, this is still an open area of research

That's exactly what I've feared. You just spent writing a full page of text how it takes several decades to understand the theory, then I ask a simplest of questions about it, one that any bright primary schooler will come up - and the understanding immediately implodes on itself because the answer is simply not there. All of these decades of studying led to a model that barely supports itself but cannot hold even lightest useful load.

Imagine how a person will study mechanical springs for several decades, then you ask them what happens if you add some load to the spring currently hanging idle, only to hear that it's an "open area of research". But it would probably go up. Something surely would.

I understand the idea of local conservation. Imagine an empty region of space where there's just light, and neutrinos, and some dust. Some time passed and some of that light (and neutrinos) lost energy due to red shift. Where did that energy went, stress-tensor or not? Where's the $100? Whose pocket does it line? What I'm hearing from you is "it can't go nowhere so it went somewhere" but that's not good enough. I suspected that already.

It can be that it's the same $100, they just worth much less than when they were printed because of all the other money which were in circulation between then and now. But that still needs to be described to the point.
I'm not forgetting them. They fall into the category of 20% of the homeless who are mentally ill, and who need to be supervised in a safe medical facility. However, we cannot do that without their consent, and they will not give their consent in the majority of cases for the same reasons that they refuse help from government programs and non-profits. I'm also not sure that these people, suffering from mental illnesses like schizophrenia, are cognizant enough for giving consent.

That's only true if you're not breaking the protocol abstraction layer. There is no "out-of-band" once you serialize your messages. If you start injecting random bytes into the data stream on the wire, you can absolutely start introducing commands, or confuse the receiver where the next piece of metadata/control is.

In this case, somewhere the protocol abstraction layer got broken, and the message text ended up being treated as already serialized. It's not a problem with the protocol per se, but with bad implementation of its API (or no implementation at all, just printf-ing into the wire format).
That is basically every functional programming language in existence.

This is spot on. BlueSky and Threads have just become "left-wing Twitter", intentionally in quotes because it's actually a very small subset of users that left to found their own hug-box, due to some irrational hate of Musk, or that people they don't like at the old place are allowed to have opinions again.

Nobody cares about protocols, except maybe the handful of infosec nerds on Mastodon. It's about a middle school-level rearranging of friend groups. A VIP lounge where they only hang out with their own.

There was an exodus of a small subset of users, and BlueSky was there like an abandoned building that was squatted. It being invite-only added to the exclusivity as invites were passed amongst like-minded peers online, further adding to the echo-chamber.

> it's more much more likely those who have been traumatised are seeking understanding, rather than healthy then traumatised by their curiosity

The fact that trauma is now everywhere sort of de-legitimizes it to the point where there's no way of knowing in the average case. Also the fact that it's essentially a business at this point

> but you've got no idea of how much damage this attitude unwittingly propagates the trauma on succeeding generations

Sounds like you're saying: become emotionally pure or else. Personally I'd rather have "trauma" than play this little head game. And imo the younger generations will be better off, on average, not playing it either

If anything, we're doing significantly more damage by teaching upcoming generations to trust the pharmaceutical industry

To somewhat counter my other comment about Musk, I've seen this statistic a lot but it feels like total bullshit to me:

> There's only so far price cuts will go. Tesla has one of the oldest lineup among automakers - with the average age of its models at 9 years (ex-Cybertruck) - Where is the innovation to spur more demand?

Tesla famously doesn't release new models by "model years" but just updates them continuously. Putting the Model S release date at June 2011 (despite that vehicle being a very different car from today's Model S), and saying that is somehow comparable to the age of other carmakers' model fleets is totally disingenuous IMO.

I'm trying to be open-minded reading through this thread. I don't understand much of it at all. Everything's in English, follows grammar rules, etc. But semantically it all seems empty. I have a large vocabulary, and I haven't had to look up any of the words that aren't modern psych jargon (and few of those).

It's difficult to understand what you even mean by trauma. I understand it perfectly in a medical context, these are acute and potentially deadly injuries that must be treated immediately. In this thread? I can't make sense of it. Not 10 comments above yours, there was someone suggesting that "abuse" and "trauma" don't even correlate perfectly... which sort of seems insightful, but also confuses things even more. I could at least deal with the idea of some hidden psychiatric illness that originates from physical/sexual abuse, but if even that's the case... then what should I be taking away from this?

I can't speak for the others, but I definitely don't know what you mean. Not even slightly.

I gave it a try for the past few hours on a worker Mac and it's nice, but its own CPU usage is very high and proportional to the size of the terminal. With a fullscreen terminal (271x63 for me) it pegs an entire CPU continuously.
The radiators don’t have to increase in size really. If it’s more efficient you don’t have to reject as much heat.

But definitely a large increase in complexity as Stirling engines are mechanical devices and thermoelectrics are solid-state. The Stirling engines can be over 25% efficient rather than like 6% for thermoelectrics.

NASA has operated a Stirling engine in a lab for 17 years so it’s feasible, at least.
>a lot of the benefits cannot be fully realized unless you’re all in

That is working under the assumption that “the benefits” are actual benefits.

There is a lot of work to be done. Literally everywhere is short staffed: hospitals and other medical groups, construction, retail, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. I don't remember things being like this 20 years ago. Wherever you go, there's huge waits due to staffing issues.

There is no such thing as invisible CGI.

In every example given in the "No CGI is Just Invisible CGI" series I knew, irrefutably, that every single example they gave was CGI prior to watching the video explaining to me that "no dummy you were hoodwinked those are really cgi!" because what was being represented on screen is impossible without the use of CGI-- and everyone else knew it too.

Except, of course, the people who believe that it is possible to drive a car down the side of a dam while it is on fire.

My favorite thing about the entire series were the many times when the host kept saying "this is REALLY the result of lots of outstanding effort by many different dedicated artists" (although I seem to remember that he calls them "vendors" instead of "artists" which seems... degrading?) while showing a scene that objectively looks terrible.

When people say "fury road was practical" they don't care that a VFX artist deleted a safety line because the only part that matters is the dude jumping from one actual car to another. VFX in that case is just makeup, filling in the wrinkles and adding some pop to the cheekbones. What they mean is that "a dude jumped from one car to another instead of jumping from one blue-tarp-covered-box-maybe-on-hydraulics to another inside a soundstage".

It is not a good idea to buy a car in most European cities if you only use it for commuting. We have working public transportation for that.

So, you buy a car if you want road trips. There are exactly two fast charging networks in Europe: Tesla Superchargers and Ionity. The latter is two times more expensive (yes, you can use Superchargers with other car brands, but it costs more). Which is why I bought a Tesla, and from what I see here in Switzerland, many people share this reasoning.

Also, many people in Europe tend to live in _apartments_, where you can’t plug a car overnight. So, access to a fast charging network is essential. Once again, Tesla wins.
In my case I can’t drive my car then because the RF also handles the location beacon which is required for the class 3 alarm system which is needed for the insurance. Without insurance you can’t drive. So there are many situations where unfortunately this is not an option.
Doesn't seem like a gag to me. I find this one to be a lot more musically interesting. The "pluckable" demo makes it kind of hard to do anything musically interesting based on the constraints of the screen-based UI.

Monopolies are the natural end here, since more money means more ability to invest in machinery to produce (or AI), or just buy up any of the newcomers.
> I can't tell from your writing if this is really a compression of an output format or an inherent part of your data structure.

It’s both. It’s part of the internal in-memory data structure, and part of the encoded output format.

At runtime, the data structure also needs to support split and join operations (when possible). For example, a user types a paragraph of text then moves their cursor in the middle of the paragraph and types more text. Initially we create (and extend) a single run representing the paragraph as it’s typed. Inserting in the middle of the run will split the run with the added text. So we end up with 3 entries in our order statistic tree.

I like your suggested text - but we’re talking about this in the context of order statistic trees. I have a generic order statistic tree implementation that splits and, when possible, joins the stored items. I’ve been calling that “internal run length encoding”, but you’re right that that’s not the common use of the “rle” term. But I would like a term for that that doesn’t involve explaining my actual data. My order statistic tree implementation doesn’t understand origin-left and origin-right values. That’s an implementation detail of how my particular data implements its splitting and joining operations.
