Auto groups often target the same market but at different price points with different brands. Audi sedans vs VW sedans for instance. My Jetta got a trickle down drive train from Audi which is one of the main reasons I looked at VW.

Are you sure that Scout is targeted at Rivian customers? Or at people who wish they could afford a Rivian and can't?
You're still confusing on what they are considering the logo by being the stamp of the brand claiming who made it. If anyone were to look at it and see the other logo clearly stamped on it, it would be obvious it was not an LV bag. Knock-offs use fake fabric but try to hide it be using the logo to make it look like it was an official LV bag while selling as if it was an LV bag. None of that is what this person is actually doing. There is no intent on scamming someone. This person clearly says this is something they made.
Chicago has been on the verge of fiscal collapse since the 1800s. Maybe it will happen tomorrow, who knows.

Articles like these aren't really about Chicago though; Chicago is just the convenient punching bag for the short period of time near an election when conservatives need to pretend to care about fiscal responsibility, and then go back to being every bit as irresponsible as any liberal could be.
What I am missing in the article is the probability of all birthdays being accounted for in a school of the solution=n students. Is that accomplished in the error function?
Sure, I get that. But I would think that they have a specific goal in mind.

One article claims they are interested in the platform, maybe they want that platform for Scout? The last "real" truck VW was a rebranded Ford F-150. It might not make a lot of sense to adapt their current MEB platform for a truck, as it has vastly different requirements compared to the usual VW car.
I think in some ways VW group has more experience with making/selling EVs than Tesla. They might not have the volumes of a single model, but they’ve been selling a much wider range of models than Tesla has for a fairly long time now.

They still have a few years to improve their EVs, and when people really start to switch their gas cars with EVs in large volumes they have the benefit of being well established while having a wide range of model that can replace any of their old gas car offerings.

I’m not 100% sure that Teslas strategy of superoptimizing 3-4 bland models is a winning strategy in the very long run. People like to buy cars that fit their needs and personality.

Tesla is taking way too long to develop interesting models, and the Cybertruck, while interesting, might be too weird and flawed to be a big international success in the long run.

Though if the bet on robotaxis pay off, I could see Tesla being a huge success in the future as well. I’m just not sure if that’s going to actually happen. Or if Elon will bet too much of their development efforts on it too early, and thus run out of steam before it takes off.
I suspect this is more relevant for people who aren't normally JavaScript developers. (Let's say you use Go or Python normally.) It's a way of getting the benefits of multi-language development while still being mostly in your favorite language's ecosystem.

On the Node.js side, it's not uncommon to have npm modules that are really written in another language. For example, the esbuild npm downloads executables written in Go. (And then there's WebAssembly.)

In this way, popular single-language ecosystems evolve towards becoming more like multi-language ecosystems. Another example was Python getting 'wheels' straightened out.

So the equivalent for bringing JavaScript into the Python ecosystem might be having Python modules that adapt particular npm packages. Such a module would automatically generate JavaScript based on a particular npm, handling the toolchain issue for you.

A place to start might be a Python API for the npm command itself, which takes care of downloading the appropriate executable and running it. (Or maybe the equivalent for Bun or Deno?)

This is adding still more dependencies to your supply chain, although unlike a CDN, at least it's not a live dependency.

Sooner or later, we'll all depend on left-pad. :-)
> PLEASE, fire the moron in Rivian (the CEO?) who doesn't want to integrate CarPlay/AndroidAuto.

I'm in my car to go from point A to point B, not to be entertained by Google or Apple.

Is Google Maps okay'ish for nav? Yup. Is it better than, say, Porsche's previous nav system: not really.

Is Google Maps, in the EU, better at indicating speed traps than my (legal) "Coyote" system: no, definitely not.

To me AndroidAuto and CarPlay are fucking gizmos.

The one thing that counts to me is how pleasant the car is to drive and its safety. On that later point arguably a car that does not have a Google/Apple tablet in its dashboard is safer than the same car that does.

I understand that we're in a FB/Instagram/WhatsApp society but maybe, just maybe, that when you're driving is the time to...

Disconnect?

P.S: if anyone comes out saying "but music", I'll answer this: my car has a better soundsystem than yours and it's not using AndroidAuto/CarPlay. It's some stuff working on top of the QNX OS. The point is the same: I care about the quality of the sound/music (so much that I basically bought a high-end limousine for its soundsystem/sound insulation), not about how I select it.
Not the parent, but I like seeing particular languages used for something like this because it may be a langauge that I am familiar with along with all of its libraries and tooling. This makes a project like this that interacts with hardware easier to acheive.

Address book syncing is the main issue. I want my contacts on my phone. So taking phone calls gets a bit awkward, though with Siri getting a little better it’s sort of doable.

Other than that it’s the constant re-typing of destinations from the calendar.

Minor stuff. Hence a pain, not a problem.
What a time wasting goofball argument. Many laws exempt all or part of your primary residence from consideration, and no reason not to include this one, for the exact reason you said.

Many localities also are flexible with property taxes for example, letting senior citizens, the disabled, or those with low income freeze their property taxes.

Yes, if we implement a new law badly the results might be bad, but why would we do that? Obviously we would write the legislation carefully to address all such details.

It does not make sense to raise objections that are so trivially addressed. If I invented the automobile would you complain that they are impossible and will never catch on merely because there's no way to see behind you, a complaint easily remedied by adding a cheap mirror?

Have you actually used it?

I used it earlier this year in Korea, although it did have a hard to get to setting to change your language, many many things were still in Korean.

It is very difficult to navigate, but I asked for help and a native was able to figure it out.

Still more usable than Google Maps though, which will only give you a not so good train schedule. No walking directions at all.

In most professional development contexts your puritan approach is simply unjustified. You’re obviously feeling very smug now, but that feeling is not justified. I note that you say “in all my repos”. What is the context in which these repositories exist? Are they your hobby projects and not of any real importance? Do you have literally anyone that can call you out for the wasted effort of reimplementing a web server in assembly because you don’t trust dependencies? I hope that you’re making your own artisanal silicon from sand you dug yourself from your family farm. Haven’t you heard about all those Intel / AMD backdoors? Sheesh.

"Public API" doesn't mean you can't change the API, nor does it limit how quickly extensions or new versions can be added to that API. It just means you have to actually inform people of what you're changing and when.

If a client application refuses to implement functionality, that's on them, not the original developer. If I want the new feature, I'll switch.

These days however, new features nowadays are usually things I don't want. Not strictly outright anti-features, but usually completely pointless "Bob needs a bonus[0]" changes that lets a middle manager put something good in their promo packet. The whole reason why people want compatible file formats and third-party clients is specifically so we can dictate to the originator of those formats and protocols how and how fast they can iterate on their products and limit how bad they can deliberately make them to increase profits.

Many people are talking about how it's mirrored not stolen, and this is permitted since it's open source. Let's put legal perspective and semantics aside - cloning all of GitHub into something called GitCode (which btw straight up stole GitHub's UX) is unethical. No one running these projects is expecting a pure clone to appear en masse onto another competing site.

It's extremely distasteful and should be shamed.
Eh, I was already good at checking things in parallel from a combination of wikipedia and google scholar, and so it seems like this use case of LLMs is just a more expensive, higher error rate version of a workflow a lot of integrated multitaskers have been good at for literally over a decade. Multimonitor or multi-device workflows with known good sources still beat LLMs for augmenting linear information streams with detail we're mostly going to fail to retain, especially because in nearly every such use case, the cost of negative errors (omissions) is essentially nonexistent but the cost of positive errors (fabrications) can be significant. These outsized claims of automated efficiency have yet to bear out in any tangible way for any real person I've encountered, because even for the wikipedia version of the use case, retention rate is extremely low, and an LLM is inherently an unaudited source and therefore we have less good probabilistic epistemic guarantees about it

As I've said before, I am using LLMs in my workflows, primarily in places where either factual accuracy doesn't matter (ideation/elaboration is a great use of any generative model) or it's feasible to both test the output in a tight feedback loop and obtain primary sources from which it's drawing information. They're also exceptionally good at translating fuzzy questions into actionable search terms, a use case that google's been trying to approximate poorly for years and which probably would have made a much bigger splash as the gamechanging practical NLP result it is if they hadn't (it looks like incremental improvement from an end-user perspective but decidedly isn't). Everyone who tells me how "efficient" they're getting from adding yet another captured passive stream to their already oversaturated information diet seems no more competent or knowledgeable than prior to the widespread usage of LLMs, but they are about 1000x more smugly assured I'm a luddite for thinking their unfathomable credulity in their naive use case being the future is overwrought (and are, statistically, also likely the people who buy the smear campaign by industrialists that's resulted in the modern usage of that word)

From my perspective you're the guy swinging the musket like it's a broadsword, and I would very much like for fewer people to be doing that with such enthusiasm, given the hazard to benefit ratio. But at least you're not the guy trying to chop vegetables with the musket, which unfortunately is the level at which a decent chunk of the business world currently functions in this analogy
So basically, automakers can't make a robust console to simply display the streamed content. What makes you think that their software will be any better?

ahem, yeah...

[EDIT] Actually, no. Unlike most Internet trolls, I don't get off on the misfortune of others. I -literally-, was not posting it to be smug. I was simply sharing my approach, which is hard work, but also one I do for a reason.

In fact, most of the grief I get from folks, is smugness, and derision. A lot of that "Old man is caveman" stuff; just like what you wrote. I've been in a "professional development context" since 1986 or so, so there's a vanishingly small chance that I may actually be aware of the ins and outs of shipping software.

I was simply mentioning my own personal approach -and I have done a lot of Web stuff, over the years-, along with a personal pet peeve, about how people tend to be quite smug to me, because of my approach.

You have delivered an insult, where one was not needed. It was unkind, unsought, undeserved, and unnecessary.

> This probably feels fine for a while, and then you discover you're repeatedly releasing people who are very obviously crooks who did exactly what they were accused of, but you couldn't prove to the satisfaction of a jury

I’m personally ok with this. I’ll always err on the side of innocence. It’s just money and relatively small amounts. In the US we’d usually just terminate someone that we suspected of theft. We don’t try to sue them and may not even call the authorities at some of these amounts. We’d reevaluate our hiring processes and criteria if we noticed the problem was chronic and unexplained. But if we did seek out a court case, criminal or civil, the thing is this “expert witness” even on paper can’t be trusted. He built the software and should be considered biased towards saving face and any confidence he has in the software should be taken with a grain of salt. That’s without hearing him speak and purely on his resume. The prosecution would(hopefully) need to introduce other evidences. Like, follow the money type stuff. Unusual purchases and such. It would have to still paint a pretty clear picture to get put in jail I would hope.

It seems this whole judicial body needs to be reevaluated to me if this type of injustice can be tolerated for years and dozens of people being sent to jail.

Ah, the cookie nightmares, always a nice experience… Good to hear I’m not the only one though.

Interesting times might be ahead actually. As the world moves away from meat and plastics (which is great, don’t get me wrong!), the glue-iness of gluten seems to play a central role.

There are the biodegradable plastics on the one side, which in contrast to their contents don’t need to be marked as containing gluten (at least in Germany and at least for now), and on the other side, 90% of the stuff I see in the „vegan replacements of originally-non-vegan food“ aisles are based on wheat; which isn’t a problem while it‘s only a partial slice of the market, but might get interesting for cealiacs if one day those products replace the originals completely.
You can build perfectly fine products without programming anything at all. The problem isn't the lack/scale/type/complexity of programming. The problem is that the product is bad, and this is not a pedantic point at all.
SSO doesn't have to mean you delegate anything. You can run e.g. a saml identity provider on-prem with no public Internet access. The browser--being on the vpn--can reach both the identity provider and the application, and can pass along the necessary assertion even if the application cannot talk to the identity server. The application itself may or may not be on-prem as well. I worked on this exact setup for some SaaS software for banks. Our applications were in AWS and we never had any ability to reach the bank identity servers.
Blog post author here. The paper was the 4th most cited paper in Alzheimer's research since 2006. So I feel reasonably confident that if it had never been written, some researchers at the margin would have chosen to work on other hypotheses instead, and perhaps those other avenues would have been more fruitful.

How much time could have been saved towards an effective treatment? It could be as high as a decade, but of course more likely it was zero years. I averaged it out to 1 year.

Now suppose you think that 1 year is orders of magnitude too high, and that in expectation it averages out to a 1 day delay. Even then, I estimate 100,000 QALYs would be lost, making this a tragically high impact case of misconduct.

Final point: Nobody doubts that science is error correcting. The point is that the errors are corrected far too slowly and many never get corrected at all. It's incredibly hard to develop good theories when you know that 30-50% of the results in your lit review are false.

>Are you sure that Scout is targeted at Rivian customers?

Almost certainly. I don't think there is any point in making an EV truck for less than a Rivian R3.

Trucks are expensive and VW has never tried to compete at the absolute low end. To really undercut Rivian they would need an EV truck at 25k, which is a product which would absolutely suck.
