Comments are really underestimating Tesla FSD in here. As an owner and user of FSD, it's scary how quickly their new Neural Net version is improving. There's a reason Elon and other internal Tesla engineers are so bullish on it, they've seen the data on 12.5 and beyond. Once their 100,000 GPU cluster is complete this year, how many iterations until FSD is comparable to Waymo? One year? Maybe 3 years?

The reason Waymo should be worried is because once FSD hits that "crossing", a flick of a switch at Tesla and 3-8 million robo taxis could hit the market all at once. For comparison, Waymo has around 1,000 cars.

It's cool what Waymo's doing, but as an actual FSD user it's plainly obvious "vision only" will work, which does not bode well for all the other car companies + waymo.

Yes they are. Because they want results not SEO "content" sites.
> LOL, if you minimize every natural obstacle to growth[1]

Claiming that natural resources are fundamental limiter to growth just isn't accurate. Market access and innovation is far more important.

Thorium is unlimited in both countries so energy isn't a resource problem.

The reality is, housing policy is far more important for success then aluminum deposits.

> You cannot be a long term world power without abundant natural resources of almost every type.

That is just false. The growth of most of the western world is not based on its own mining. Japan also wasn't very mining heavy. China growth hasn't come from its own energy resources.

That a completely regressive idea. Having access to a broad reliable supply is what actually matters matters.

Modern Germany doesn't need to mine its own stuff to be rich and have reliable inputs. Having reliable access to Sweden is more important then having Iron ore deposits.

The reality is when world power were replaced, it was almost always by countries with larger populations. Germany overtook Britain because Germany had more population. US overtook Germany because of population. China is gone overtake the US because of population.

If Britain wasn't replaced by Germany because Germany had more resources. Arguably Germany had less then the British Empire.

Having a large population economically integrated as close to the peak of technological progress with reliable market access has always been how great power replaced each other. By that metric Imperial Germany would be smaller then the US (depending on its immigration policy) but not by a huge margin.

> Coal: US #4, Germany #8.

That's not a good thing. Coal is literally bad for your society by any objective matter. At least in the last 60 years.

> Gas: US #1, Germany #50.

Focusing on gas over nuclear is making your society worse, its basically the coal of the last 50 years.

> Uranium: US #15, Germany N/A.

> Thorium: US #5, Germany N/A.

Plenty is available.
> Nearby countries don't want to connect to Germany because of unstable electricity bills that can affect citizens (Sweeden).

What are "unstable electricity bills" ? Changing market prices are the reality in many markets. The European reality is clear: more connection between local energy markets creates a larger EU market and this allows to trade electricity based on demand and supply in a very large market.

Germany already exchanges electricity with Sweden via Denmark. Do you have other examples? Germany directly exchanges electricity with lots of other countries already.

Renewable energy from Wind and Solar is growing in many places in Europe. That's not a special German thing, it's just that Germany started earlier.

EU: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/topics/in-depth/renewable-energ...

"EU Member States need to massively ramp up their renewable power capacity in the coming years. This increase in renewables from variable sources, such as wind and solar, will also increase the need for ‘flexibility’ in the EU electricity system."

"The share of renewables in Europe is expected to keep growing. However, meeting the new target of 42.5% for 2030 will demand more than doubling the rates of renewables deployment seen over the past decade, and requires a deep transformation of the European energy system."

A graph of the EU development is here:

https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/16410231/embed?auto=1

Compare with Germany:

https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/p...

What you think is a German problem, is a reality and a trend in Europe.

A deep transition to renewable energy is also world-wide the only viable way to a cleaner electricity production.

Sweden could be in a good position, since it and surrounding countries have lots of capacity for wind generated electricity and hydro based electricity generation/storage.
I am also not transgender. I find it interesting that some population of people invariably write off as a “fad”, trend, affectation, acting, or what-have-you, a population that has gained greater visibility than they previously had.

We have been seeing that same pattern for awhile now, particularly as people learn that the spectrum of identity and expression doesn’t end with “just” being gay.

> you completely missed the point of rate-of-innovation

How is the "rate of innovation" higher but yet they've innovated less and have a less functional product? It's made up metric and was ignored because it adds no value to the conversation unless you have some actual data.
The nuclear exit was a stupid idea, but how bad it was its also overstated a lot by pro-nuclear types and understated a lot by anti-nuclear types.

Germany has built a tremendous amount of solar and wind in the past few years, but the amount of energy they're generating is exaggerated a lot when one talks about percentages.

In reality, over the past 5 or so years as the last of the nuclear reactors were decommissioned and solar/wind installations have ramped up, the total amount of electricity produced in Germany has decreased, and Germany has moved from on average being an electricity exporter to being an electricity importer.

The reduction in total electrical power generated in Germany is about equal to the power lost from nuclear reactors, while the reductions in fossil fuels was more or less balanced by the increase in renewables.

This is pretty promising, and in my opinion, it's actually somewhat good that Germany is a net electricity importer rather than exporter. They shouldn't be selling power generated with coal when they could be buying power generated with nuclear (France) or hydroelectric (Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Austria).

The journalist's headline is fine. Neither NASA nor Boeing are neutral parties; it'd be improper to elevate their (self-aggrandizing) public relations statements to the status of objective reality.

The astronauts genuinely, factually, are "stranded" in space (or "stuck", in the v2.0 of the Guardian's title). This is inconvenient PR for the parties who are responsible for getting them stuck.
A lot of great takes in this thread, but let me give more perspective being a MLE/MLOps Engineer myself around the math.

For me mathematics and statistics represent (a) unemployment insurance since it give me a lot of transitivity around roles in the space,(b) give me a good toolbox to talk as an equal with DS, and (c) for all implementation made by the Research Engineers/Data Scientists I can chime in and give insights and avoid waste of time and resources.

One example: When BERT was released (ca. 2018) I was working in a place where several Research Engineers and DSs wanted to use it in production for text classification.

The issue was that architecturally BERT was suboptimal due to a process called masking [1] that increases significantly the training time and the inference time was not so great. The alternative that I gave at that time was to use a mechanism called "Bag fo Tricks" [2] which its a very efficient modification of Bag of Words, but knowing math (and being on top of the literature) saved me from implementing something that would be inherently inefficient. Without having it it's hard to push back on DS/ResEng.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Elon ruined Twitter for a quick buck but he’s actually lost money on it? Then he obviously hasn't made a quick buck on it.
A) this is great for hobbyists who aren't super technical, but

B) Tailscale achieves this, with even more security if you want (I.e. only make the box accessible through a subnet router within your tailnet) and

C) Most of Southwest's 737s have been updated with satellite internet that offers okay latency and high bandwidth. This will straight up not work on a regional jet with GoGo/intelsat terrestrial internet that relies on cell towers. Latency is way too high. Keystrokes take like two or three seconds to get picked up.
The important bit is that the functions are inlined into main, so for that specific code path the check is removed. The fact it would be left there in the non-called function is not really relevant. I used static inline (just inline would have been enough) just to get rid of irrelevant code.

The code under discussion does not compile, so it is hard to discuss it. Please consider this variant: https://godbolt.org/z/EMzr4naMP

As you can see, while the check is still present in the non-inlined foo, main doesn't actually call it and omits the check. There is nothing left in main to check as there is no myvar object left.

This example and my previous one are similar: in both examples, not only the compiler could statically compute the value of the pointer, but it can track the pointee directly ('int x' in my example, the null pointer in your), hence it doesn't need to allocate any memory or registers for the pointer.

Separately, in both cases the compiler was able to statically prove that the pointer must be pointing to something (in my example because it knows the target, in yours because of the assignment through it), so the null check can be removed as the value of the condition is statically known to be always true.

Finally, I believe that in your example GCC found the contradiction with the pointer being both null and not null and realized that the whole main function is not possibly reachable, hence it isolates it with ud2 (clang is just silly).

What code would you expect GCC to generate in main to test the condition? Should it allocate a register, initialize it just for the purpose of performing the branch? Should it do it just for your example or also for mine?
I've been wanting to do the same, but when I get far into machine/deep learning there is some high level math involved, so I've been taking all the math courses on khan academy for the past couple months https://www.khanacademy.org/. Soon ill finally be done with all the math listed there and move back into learning more about deep/machine learning (even if I stick with programming the math will help in all areas of my life). If anyone has a good math resource I can take after khan academy more geared toward machine learning I am all ears.
EV maker Rivian simplifies output, cuts costs, aiming for first profit
If all these loans are “guaranteed” by FM, ie US govt, why even have all these middle men taking a cut — why not do mortgages like Direct Loans from the govt?
> Even if a lender thinks the customer would be a good risk, the lender has to buy a FICO score regardless.

This isn't completely correct. For a period I had no FICO score, yet I was able to secure a loan from a Credit Union. It did require me to show my assets and income flow, but the Credit Union was able to provide me with a loan.

The score from what I have gathered when I learn really rewards those who remain in debt and pay substantial interest, not the frugal and financially stable (check to check is not financially stable). Basically encouraging to keep self in debt just at the edge of financial disaster's precipice.

> ... FICO prohibits not only validating different models against FICO scores, but even displaying FICO scores next to non-FICO scores. ...

There is an interesting dynamic here, one government agency, the FHFA, dictates that mortgage brokers have to use FICO and all three major credit bureaus, explicitly granting these companies a government enforced monopoly. Another government agency with different goals, the CFPB, comes in and complains about the price these government granted monopolies are charging and proposes regulation to limit it.

These dueling agencies may eventually find a balance, with the FHFA dictating which companies services have to be used and the CFPB dictating how much those services can charge...

The whole thing is a failure not of free markets but of different government regulators not coordinating their regulations.

Please do some listing. Most of the time people worrying about PWA limitations are decade or so out of date of what the contemporary web apis are capable of.

For example, PWAs are trivial to cache with service workers (a lot easier than app install for both the developer and the user), and after the first load they work totally offline.

You have almost total control of the PWA. Just launch the browser DevTools and you can even edit the code on the fly. With e.g. iOS apps you have no control or even knowledge of what the apps are doing, unless you manage decrypt them, manage to decompile or inspect the binary and/or root your own device through exploits.

All major browser engines are open source and the APIs are open standards (even Google deprecated their proprietary APIs). PWAs are way less tied to likes of Google than native apps.

I think you should update your information about browser APIs. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Layered security is good, but you're still using a key to access a resource.

Looked at individually, using a key to access a VPN is not more secure than using a key to access SSH. The risk isn't a remotely exploitable bug in ssh, but losing your secrets due to some other vulnerability.

If someone has access to your SSH key, they almost certainly are able to also access your VPN key - both are saved in your home directory and need to be regularly accessible. If, maybe, your VPN uses two factor authentication, that makes it much harder, but you could also use two factor authentication for SSH, and we're back to where we were before.
It's not about having/not having money, it's about propensity to pay. Obviously, people need money to pay, but someone can have all the money in the world and still default on loans by not paying.

How large are those power lines going from scandinavia to Germany? Afaik we already have issues getting north and south Germany properly connected. It doesn't help that there where reports of "greenwashing" in the past where power companies would trade local coal power for hydroelectric power from the other side on the planet so they could put a 100% green energy seal on their offering.

I think we need to differentiate between types of lawsuits. This current lawsuit is abusing the environment impact system to harm it's competition, it compares it to a previous lawsuit

"The filing follows similar moves in past years, including in 2021, when Blue Origin sued NASA for awarding a lunar contract to SpaceX and not considering other alternatives."

Suing get your business considered fairly seems much more above board then suing for an environmental impact that you would probably violate if you had the opportunity.
This wouldn't change with nuclear energy because the price is bound to the most energy source.

There is a reason the energy companies still keep coal power plants. Without the price and profit would go down.
I am not sure how seriously you can ever take a workplace employer survey.

I worked at a place with a particularly grouchy director. Employee survey- many people expressed dissatisfaction with him and the company. He called a meeting of all his underlings effectively saying as confrontationally as possible, “Why aren’t you idiots happy? I am so good to you!” To enormous surprise, the next survey results were significantly higher. Without apparent change in director behavior.
The capitalists regularly lobby government to destroy their competition and make holes in regulations that would cause major disruptions to their business models. The light truck exemption to CAFE rules is a great example.
Inquiries impact your credit score negatively not because you took on more credit, but because you (most likely) didn't.

The correlation is that if you get rejected by lender A, and try a new application at lender B, and again at lender C, you will have a lot more inquiries than some-one who got credit extended at the first try. FICO don't know if you actually got rejected, or if you were just checking rates, nor do they know what the reason for rejecting you was (maybe they don't even serve your area but their funnel doesn't filter on that early enough) - they just know you were checked.

This particular one is a bit iffy, my bank's UI essentially tricked me into a credit check. Then again, all of them are quite iffy and based on a few datapoints that FICO has access to, which omits many of the things you'd look at during any kind of manual underwriting.

There is just such a large number of events and thought processes between a last minute rash decision to make an account somewhere and actually meeting up with someone, not the least of which is the time and effort to make it happen. To say just making an account is barely less bad than actually going through with cheating is... wild.
Aside effects of the Ukraine war, it feels like the bill people actually pay has not risen too much in recent years. Germans famously do not have air conditioning in their homes and most switched all the lights to LEDs, leading to substantial bill reductions in many cases. Electricity for cars or for heating can be obtained at about 25% lower prices and modern houses are, in general, quite energy efficient. So I'd say that the high energy prices are hindering the construction of new factories/keeping the old ones (which can turn out to have bad effects soon), but everyday life is not too much bothered by them.
Whenever power in Germany comes up, I have a hard time interpreting anything because of the reaction the HN crowd has against the Germany's resistance to Nuclear.

But from what I can tell, they're doing a pretty good job reducing their usage of fossil fuel? Can someone clarify.

Yes, power is more expensive in Germany. Yes they have periods where they don't produce all the power they consume, yes the import nuclear power. But for their goals of reducing fossil fuel consumption and not building nuclear power plants they seem to be doing well?
But why? That is the naïve assumption from the context of primitive search techniques, but in the space of actual answers I think its going the right thing. Just give the user what they asked for.
That's not true, nuclear was never the main source of power in Germany and it's been replaced by a constantly growing sustainable energy sector.
