While true, it's not exactly a "fair" comparison given the federal subsidies involved.

> When purchasing, the restyled mid-size Camry hybrid is still more affordable than the Model 3, with a base MSRP of $29,804, whereas the Tesla’s entry-level sedan retails for $40,380 (including destination) and doesn’t qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

So as a United States taxpayer I say to Tesla Model 3 owners: You're welcome.
ECMAScript 2024, the 15th edition, added facilities for resizing and transferring ArrayBuffers and SharedArrayBuffers; added a new RegExp /v flag for creating RegExps with more advanced features for working with sets of strings; and introduced the Promise.withResolvers convenience method for constructing Promises, the Object.groupBy and Map.groupBy methods for aggregating data, the Atomics.waitAsync method for asynchronously waiting for a change to shared memory, and the String.prototype.isWellFormed and String.prototype.toWellFormed methods for checking and ensuring that strings contain only well-formed Unicode.

FWIW I've had great experiences recently with Bunny [0] to deploy content to a very affordable, very configurable CDN. Integration is also dead simple (you deploy normally to your regular site and then just replace hostname in all URLs with the CDN hostname, it handles the rest automatically)

Different than industrial CDNs but my new go-to for small-to-mid and indie sites.

Because the pharma company offered them direct or indirect benefits for doing so. Doctors are just as human and just as susceptible to financial incentive as anybody else, that's why for decades there were doctors advertising the health benefits of smoking.

I am usually the first person to steer away from taking moral standpoints, but I don't support the culture of lithium mining, making children work just so I can have a shiny new car/phone/laptop whose battery will inevitably die in a couple of years effectively becoming junk that's thrown in a landfill.

China's near defacto monopoly on lithium batteries is also very concerning. Unfortunately we cannot eliminate it from our lives due to its' ubiquity and cost, but I'd rather not buy an electric car that supports this industry.

If georgism was implemented here, then the value of the lot would have increased very significantly with a house was on it. With the significant additional value, it's likely that the two parties would have been able to come to an arrangement that didn't result in destroying the house.

The root of the problem here is that the house is worth peanuts compared to the land, so the homeowner has nothing to gain from bargaining with the developer. We end up destroying something of value (housing) in the name of speculative land investment, which is a shame

>Special case: CALL +0 is not a call

There seems to be still a lot of documentation out there that says that you should never pop the return address, and instead call a "proper" function that reads it from the stack before returning normally.

I wonder if now that recent-ish processors treat CALL +0 as a special case, there is instead a performance bug when not popping the return address, with code like this:

do_something_twice:
call do_something_once
;fall through to run next piece of code again
do_something_once:
;...
ret

Both of these uses of CALL would never appear in compiler output, and probably not be common in handwritten assembly either, especially from people who are aware of the "common wisdom" of how to get the instruction pointer. But there must have been at least one high-profile piece of code where this had a real performance impact, or Intel/AMD wouldn't have bothered to optimize this?
Guess that depends where you are, as that is not the case where I'm at. When we were car shopping recently multiple dealers tried a 20% markup, that was an immediate walk away for me. Inventory still seems thin as well.
Personally, I use https://github.com/foges/whisper-dictation with llama-70b on groq.

One git life hack I adopted is to sign my commits with an SSH key that is stored in 1Password. Anytime a tool like git or vs code (with git under the hood) wants to sign commits, fetch/pull/push a remote, or clone a repo I get a nice pop up from 1P which prompts for TouchID on my macbook. My SSH keys don't not live on my machine as a result. This also works with SSH agent forwarding if you develop inside a VM or remote machine.

Thank you so much for the quick answer. That makes complete sense. I appreciate anyone putting in efforts in on Node-RED. I use it heavily in interactive museum exhibits and would spend a lot more time on software "plumbing" without it. Dashboard 1 has been very useful, but definitely starts to struggle on things like graphs with 3000+ points. I look forward to trying out this new one!
Rags to Riches – The race to understand–and profit from–period blood
It’s easy to overlook that OxyContin was very effective. Even a doctor acting in good faith was likely to prescribe the drug— because it worked well. It really did help people struggling with pain management. The downside, of course, was that Purdue pharma was knowingly misleading doctors on the addictiveness of the drug. Also the amount of doctors that were willing to turn a blind eye to the clear signs of addiction is very worrying.
Aromatic compounds: A ring made up solely of metal atoms
I disagree. There is no such thing as a societal oversupply of educated people. There might be a market oversupply, but a well educated society is a stupid thing to avoid. I would also argue that we are seeing an oversupply of people with education credentials, rather than an education. Even in high end universities in China cheating is rampant (this isn't isolated to China, but my experience is that Chinese students are VERY open about it). For many people in University, the goal isn't to get an education, it is to get a degree.

As to my own experience: I am, according to most standardized tests, very apt at quantitative reasoning, but I never progressed far in math in school. Why? because I was placed on the standard track in math in a public school with a bunch of students who didn't care, and teachers who didn't have time to care, and to be honest, the attitude rubbed off. I once got in trouble because I programmed a python script to do my problem sets when I was 13 because it was faster than doing it by hand for me. In retrospect, that form of "cheating" was a sign that my teachers should have picked up on.

Quite simply, I never had access to a good math instructor throughout my schooling.

Now, decades later, I am intensely interested in a lot of subjects that require a background in math that I don't have, and I am becoming interested in Math for Math's sake. I have been using open access textbooks, and an AI assistant of my own creation to help me learn.

Oh believe me it will be the case. EV technology is moving so fast and as a result ev depreciation is so high they will be glad to sell you the car after two to three years, even if the contract does not currently provide for it.

Perhaps they do not want to put it in the contract now because they have some increasingly desperate robotaxi dreams, but it is clear to me that the robotaxi aint happening with the current hardware, and in a couple of years even elon will have to admit that.
Reminds me a lot of the telecom situation in the US. There are lots of people who e.g. hate Comcast but basically have no choice in their area if they want broadband. Granted, a malware attack, is another level of terrible, but isn't it "interesting" how pseudo-monopolists seem to be resistant to meritocratic forces?

> The Tesla Model 3 beat the Camry on total cost of ownership

It's a 6 years old car (and most likely 4 or 5 years old given the delivery stats)... there are camrys from the last century still on the road with 500k+ miles on them.

When a tesla passes 300k miles it's news worthy, not because of reliability, just because they haven't been around for long https://www.autoevolution.com/news/this-2018-tesla-model-3-p...
Sure, you might be ahead a bit more than "on paper" but you still have significant expenses that were actually accrued. The context of this post was the person thought their "actual" salary didn't include their (significant) expenses and being eligible for deductions was just a bonus. They argued in the comments their salary was "really" their pre-deduction salary, I guess because that's what went into their bank account.

They were also asking if they should just stop taking these deductions for a few years for some reason (I think to qualify for a mortgage), so they weren't exactly understanding finance.

I wish I could find the post again, it was baffling.
It’s only cheaper if you own a single-family home, or otherwise have the unlikely luxury of access to an electric vehicle charger at your home or place of work. Renters will mostly have to stick with the Camry.

But it IS more expensive as someone quotes above:

This leasing thing is either accounting acrobatics or high residual value or both.
I'm really happy with this, so we can move our company presentations to Figma and move out of Google Slides, specially for Product.
For those claiming the Supreme Court is a political institution, I'd like to note that this was indeed a 5-4 decision.

But one with Justices in the majority who were appointed by Biden, Trump, Bush 43, and Bush 41, and in the minority who were appointed by Bush 43, Obama, and Trump.

It was Jackson, Gorsuch, Barrett, Alito, and Thomas in the majority and Sotomayor, Kagan, Roberts, and Kavanaugh in the minority.
Yes, the studies tend to exclude the kids who aren't using the tools "enough," which can end up being 95% of the students! [0]

On the other hand, I know there are people who enjoy math but struggle to pay attention and learn from a "sit quietly and listen" lecture-based model. (My husband is in this camp.) I can see how the back-and-forth conversational approach of these AI tutors could be really helpful for students like this.

They're still a small minority of the student population, but maybe a different minority from the students who are already excelling academically. If Khanmigo helps only 5% but it's a slightly different 5% from the students who are best served by the current system, I see that as a win, even if it's not the educational revolution that is being hyped.

They used two non-mutually exclusive techniques. Phi-3 is mostly a curriculum training breakthrough. By filtering training set for high quality tokens and training on synthetic data, they were able to achieve great results. Gemma-2 is a distillation breakthrough. By training LLMs with guidance from larger teacher LLMs, they were able to achieve great results too.

Single most interesting read in a while.-

PS. Even though I originally went in thinking it was the window manager.-
It sounds like what you were watching was a first appearance, though I could be wrong. Depending on the circumstances, the public defender may not have even been appointed to the case until the hearing. The public defender may not even have had an opportunity to talk to the defendant prior to that, and is going mostly on whatever the prosecutor filed.

But that doesn't really matter that much for first appearances. The only real point of first appearances is to advise the defendant of their rights, the charges, take an initial plea (this is almost always a not guilty plea - negotiations for plea agreements generally don't start until after the first appearance), and officially assign a public defender to the case (assuming they are not hiring their own attorney). Depending on the jurisdiction and context a bond may also be set, or that may be in a separate hearing. In some jurisdictions a public defender isn't even present for first appearances, because there's so little for them to actually do.

The stereotype is that the public defenders are all incompetent. But if you actually talk to judges or criminal attorneys you will get a different picture. Judges in particular tend to have a lot of respect for the public defender's office. Honestly, in all the hearings I've seen involving an incompetent defense attorney, they are more likely to be private counsel than from the public defender's office.
2008 - Too big to fail

No, it's like parents taking their fat stubborn kid to sports camp to get him off ponchiki, setting the ponchiki joint alight and than feeding him doughnuts. All of this because the ponchiki joint's owner used the profits to arm up and attack their neighbour, which they promised to leave alone.

(For the record, ponchiki taste way better than doughnuts, at least I'll give the Russians that)

Strictly speaking, the ability for a third-party application to leverage Teams' features without bundling with the OS like Teams.
> You’re already unemployed if you focus on history or literature but we still learn it.

Most people are still employed if they focus on history or literature. They just might not be making a lot of money or working in history or literature, though some do. Plenty of people in highly "employable" degrees also find themselves unemployed for a long time once they graduate.

The reality is that getting a college degree, regardless of the major, increases your chances of employment afterwards and potential lifelong earnings enormously over only a HS degree.

But as you implied, most of the worst trends in higher-ed, a real corruption of its original intentions and values, have come from a obsession with the idea that higher-ed is solely about employee training.

I agree with your reasoning but I can't recall any single examples where it worked out that way. That being said I don't store the full history of British legal system in my mind. Maybe you have some examples where someone got punished due to a public enquiry?
Thank you. For my purpose as a reader it is editorial incompetence that the article neither provided that link, nor the name of the case to make it easy to lookup.

I think relational databases as a technology are absolutely the bees knees. It still boggles my mind that devs are choosing NoSQL databases for their products right out of the gate and throwing away 50 years of relational alegbra database technology.

SQL as a technology did an admirable job of allowing practitioners to express relational queries, but let's be real - the syntax of SQL, especially for advanced queries, was always pretty awful. I think that syntax, more than the underlying DB technologies, was the number one factor driving people towards NoSQL unnecessarily.

What would be amazing is if the RDBMS community could create an industry standard querying language that supported relational algebra but actually had a pleasant development experience.

One issue that traditional AI Agent reasoning built on Theory of Mind(ToM) (ToM: I know what you are thinking, so I can predict what you will do next.) was hard to get right was because the domain model and interface was quite tough to design. Agents did not fully understand and model the belief state of the person. But more importantly, there was possibly also no way to quickly _generate_ lots of plans and test them in a Domain independent manner (RHLF is horribly inefficient for this). Now there are AI agents are great at generating plans (examples of what could work) that can be tested with kids and creators and provide feedback to tune not just LLMs but also add to the Domain models. This can solve a lot of interesting problems that have plagued tutoring systems:

1. Improve sample efficiency of generated plans to get to the right goal while meeting all the subgoals for a plan.

2. Enrich engineered and correct neuro-symbolic models of reasoning with better knowledge representations.

3. Quantitative psychometric systems that use metrics like proficiency could only be as good as the underlying “factor” model and hypothesis, but one could test multiple more interesting hypothesis more quickly: "Are you mentally tiered?", "Here is a hint: ___. Does that help?".
