This is already happening. See the recent tariffs on low cost Chinese EVs.

If Americans really didn’t want EVs then there should be no need to protect the market from the cheaper Chinese brands, because nobody would be buying them.

Building a language is too hard.

You need to create:

- Grammar, parser, compiler, interpreter (delete as appropriate)

- Editor plugins for nice syntax highlighting

- Language server

- Packages for common things

- Nice website (or no one will use it)

- etc...

So the pressure is always to shoe-horn a big existing language into you problem. Maybe you can build a nice library if your language has decent syntax (or little to no syntax). If you have an AST representation, you probably dump it to JSON etc.

I am curious if any projects are trying to make this easier.
If the kids turn out alright then of course it won't be a problem. But that's question-begging. My argument is that parental dogmatism is dangerous. When you set out like "we're right about technology and all other parents are wrong" it's very hard to change your mind later when evidence to the contrary accumulates.

Maybe 2 of out 3 kids will have a happy "digitally minimalist" childhood and the 3rd one will be absolutely miserable. Could easily happen. Kids have their own personalities after all. How will these parents respond? My bet is the unhappy child will get blamed for being unhappy and the happy siblings will be used as proof that the parents are right.

I'm much less optimistic about the future of EVs as I was a couple years ago (when we bought our Kia EV6).

It seems like I see more news recently, like this, of companies reversing their position and pivoting back towards ICE vehicles, and it's depressing.

I blame infrastructure, and our inability to roll out broad infrastructure across the US.

There are too many people with range anxiety, and lack of infrastructure isn't helping, and improvements haven't been enough to keep up with our goals to pivot toward EVs.

Alternatively, battery technology could advance to improve range without (as much of) a need for broad infrastructure rollouts, but that's also not happening fast enough.

I still think we'll get there, eventually. But I don't think we'll get there as fast as many of us want to -- or were optimistic for in 2022 -- unfortunately.
Isn't there even an open implementation of the network/coordination layer (Headscale)?

But regardless, the best term I've heard for these types of networks is overlays. You can add "zero trust" or whatever to make it seem more fashionable, or VPN if you're old school. I remember using Hamachi for this type of use back in maybe the early aughts.

Consumers have been loudly saying they want hybrids[1]. Full electric vehicles are not practical for most people just yet. But instead manufacturers have made larger and larger vehicles and went too far with EV options instead of just providing hybrid options.

In my observation of some successful sales folks:

* Build a relationship of trust with key people inside the customer org

* Keep showing up (literally) and be friendly and helpful

* Frame the ask as a trial or something that fits in their business patterns and budgets
I know it wasn’t DOD directly. They just had budget that NASA didn’t get from Congress.

As far as the moon goes, it seems to me that the current approach is cobbled together like the SLS from different ideas but the overall vision doesn’t look very coherent.
This is great. I've been having to build my own .debs of the OSS driver for some time because of the crapola NVIDIA puts in their proprietary driver that prevents it from working in a VM as a passthrough device. (just a regular whole-card passthru, not trying to use GRID/vGPU on a consumer card or anything)

NVIDIA can no longer get away with that nonsense when they have to show their code.
what has been your experience with this alternative you have settled on?
If the chinese enter the market with something sized more like a kei truck then I will buy one even if the electrical is total crap because it's the perfect form factor. As it is now I'm probably going to buy a van instead of a truck because trucks are totally impractical for actually hauling anything.
You gotta be careful. Some interviewers, especially the ones who are going to be peers, or worse, a peer of the hiring manager, might have mixed incentives to avoid hiring someone who could show them up.

I feel that happened to me once when I was interviewed for a Java job at a stodgy health insurer and the interviewer tried to test my Java and it quickly became obvious he was really very much a Java beginner and I could run circles around him, correcting his misconceptions. I was polite about it but naive, and it quickly became obvious he was offended and gave inaccurate feedback.

Another job, one of my rounds was with a peer of the hiring manager, and he did not ask me anything really beyond introductions, and then he lied and claimed he had asked me several technical questions and I'd failed them, which did not happen. I got that job anyway and accepted the offer, which was a mistake.

So actually, you probably don't have to be careful, because this is a good way to avoid a bad job. Unless you're desperate and need to feed the kids or something. Then feel out the interviewer, and do well, but not _too_ well. Don't make the interviewer feel stupid. Save that for after you've been working with them a while and have built up social capital in the company.

Yes. Did I mention there are interfaces too, with almost the same name, but it’s only used for the base classes. (Yes, there is only one implementation of all interfaces).
"When a middle or high school teacher has a bright math student, and the teacher directs them towards competition math, it’s usually not because that’s the best option for the student.

You got the grief because your company knew spirit was gaming your system but you didn't do anything to stop it, or warn your customers. You could have just stopped offering spirit flights until they fixed their pricing data. (Not maligning you personally, but the company overall deserved flak if they weren't pushing back on spirit to protect customers)
That's what you find objectionable?

To me, this sounds almost like burnout. The job plus the side business may be taking more bandwidth than you have. You may have to pick one.
They make bigger vehicles because people want bigger vehicles. I own a tiny (by US standards) car. It was discontinued by the manufacturer for lack of sales, which were indeed miserable for many years despite being a great car and very cheap. The story is the same across most of the other US manufacturers.

I still drive it every day to work but for family trips I drive a much larger three-row SUV and it is better in basically every way except gas mileage, which thanks to being a hybrid is about the same. So I get where people are coming from. My conclusion has been people tend to buy as much car as they can possibly afford and often more.

This appears to be part of an embargoed news blitz from a few news organizations (Verge and Bloomberg posted the same news at the same time), which is an interesting PR deviation from OpenAI posting it on their blog and having it go viral. The news isn't on their official blog at all currently.
Looks cool, but what do you do with the image once uploaded? The FAQ says "Yes, we take security very seriously and ensure that all images uploaded to our platform are protected.

Starting a family has been the antidote to this feeling in my experience. It's not hard at all to motivate myself to write the 6th database migration python script when my son crawls over and gives me a big smile.

It has also motivated me to take advantage of any free time I have. This baby is soon going to be forming a world view and I need to be there to show him the way. If that's true I need to learn a lot, and fast.
Ford is getting less and less relevant in 21st century.
The truck they are making is kind of hardest to tackle due to battery density.

So short term it make sense. Long term if they don't have a good EV portfolio they are dead.

With battery prices at $50-60kWh in China, EV will finally goes mainstream for not early adopters. But for people who wants to save money. EV will start attacking every single car segment because it will become cheaper, more reliable, faster, silent.
I was approached through a recruiter for a job with a 100k-150k pay range, but I didn't get to interview because I had "too much experience" and they wanted someone with 2-5 years experience in the 120-130k range. I had experience with everything on the job description, even the nice-to-haves section. Make it make sense.
I feel like the CEO could have changed tactics a bit to avoid the visceral response Steve experienced. Instead of assuming that he wasn't the right person for the job, he could have just said that the approach needed to shift. He ended up making it personal. The fact that Steve had to ask if he could be the person (irrespective of the CEO saying he could be a candidate and finding him a coach), is the problem. The CEO should have lead with "you've done a great job, and here's what we'll need from you to take things to the next level". That makes it more about trying to help him grow into the person the company needed by finding the coach, and only then deciding whether or not he needed to search for a new candidate. And it seems like the employee would have a better understanding at that point of what was needed and if he/she could live up to those responsibilities and expectations. While it was a story about personal growth, it feels more like a failure of leadership to me.
In theory you could train locally and only send the combined gradient update to a central server, but I'm sure some people would argue that that's not fully privacy preserving.

> I have a comfortable life, nor luxury, neither poverty

So you have a relationship, athletic hobbies, steady job, and side business?

That is luxury. It's just that you've convinced yourself it's prison for some reason.

> now I'm back to the same place I tried to escape back then, albeit in a different physical location and work place.

As they say, wherever you go, there you are.

Even if you found "luxury" then you'd convince yourself it wasn't enough.

Figure out how to solve that problem. Because quitting your job or whatever isn't going to work.

> I get scared when I realize that this is my life for the next 30-40 years.

If you get 30-40 more years of life, think about how lucky you'll be compared to the people who die of cancer in their 40s or 50s?

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but is it possible for me to download these models into my computer (I have a 1080ti and a [2|3]070ti) and generate some sort of api interface? That way I can write programs that calls this API, and I find this appealing.

Look at the market conditions, and make the best bet you can. That's the realist approach, anyway. It's hard not to feel the ego hit from changes like this, but it can easily lead to serious negative personal consequences if someone is not in a position to deal with the fallout.

Not being an adult about situations like this can have very severe and lifelong negative consequences.
If by abstraction you mean identifying unifying concepts then I cant understand how you reasoned yourself into thinking that identifying a common method and sharing it between multiple classes by the means of the super class is not abstraction. You have identified a commonality - the common code, common method. By your definition it's abstraction.
Connecting over SSH with VSCode is the most convenient SSH experience I've ever had: VSCode runs locally, connects via SSH and makes it feel like I'm working locally. I can edit files, open terminals, run software, etc. It's like running vim, a couple terminals and a scp file manager, but with the convenience of a desktop application

Technically you need an extension (Remote - SSH) but I think that's installed by default. It runs some remote code on the server to make it more seamless, but that has never gotten in the way.
I find it a lot easier to manage a single Linux server than multiple AWS services and a separate third party service for every single thing. Stuff built on top of AWS like Heroku is even worse.

The problem is that a lot of people are now just not comfortable running things in-house. Subscribing to another service and adding an integration feels like the safe option.

It's really scary how a tiny amount of a mineral can permanently damage the human mind. I have to admit there's a part of me that almost wants to be skeptical, that mg of a rock could overcome the wonderous self-aware human mind.

You get what you measure for and well, good luck measuring abstracts like 'a broad perspective, independence, and the skills and knowledge to make one truly free to pursue their ambitions in life'. Especially when you never ask what their ambitions in life were, or if they are anything remotely achievable or assisted by college. In that light is it any surprise that instead of getting the mother-and-apple-pie you get certificate mills?
I hadn't thought about it explicitly like this before, and I think I agree. My more nebulous thought process was something like:

1. Try to solve the problem purely functionally.

2. If that failed because of data issue, model the data with objects and simple operations in an OOP style or well thought collection of arrays (game devs answer to OOP causing memory and caching problems, but the end result programming is similar to OOP thought process)

3. If that is can't happen because some external restriction is impose use the minimal amount of procedural logic to solve the problem and round off as many sharp corners as is practical until it is unlikely any on the team gets cut.

Logically that is very close to inversion of thought process and ordering of operations to what you suggested. But I think we would recognize each others attempts to pick a design paradigm in code.

Now I want to think about this more. Is there some underlying principle here? Is this some kind of underlying principle? Where do domain specific languages fit in? Do other paradigms fit in? What are the bounds of this pattern, where does this process fail?
Two questions:

1) Anyone have any idea of VRAM requirements?

A big selling point for EVs, for me, was much lower maintenance.

No brake disc/pad replacements, no oil changes -- or any fluids! -- and no trips to the gas station. Mostly just tire rotations/replacements.

Hybrids still require roughly the same maintenance as ICE vehicles, and also have to deal with battery life on top.

I’m AI stupid. Does anyone know if training on multiple languages provides “cross-over” — so training done in German can be utilized when answering a prompt in English? I once went through various Wikipedia articles in a couple languages and the differences were interesting. For some reason I thought they’d be almost verbatim (forgetting that’s not how Wikipedia works!) and while I can’t remember exactly I felt they were sometimes starkly different in tone and content.
llama.cpp or ollama both have apis for most models
If you want cars to be smaller, you're going to have to put an upper limit on the size of vehicles on public roadways. I think a lot of people would actually be receptive to smaller vehicles, but auto manufacturers have put virtually zero effort into a way that easily expands back-of-vehicle storage for grocery trips, etc. I'm not sure what the solution is, but popping out the rear seat and hauling it out of the car ain't it.
Sure but your glass rectangle already has all the power and hardware features necessary to provide those other interfaces. Or more conveniently, a smart watch can relay queries to your phone.

I sort of respect Humane for trying something genuinely different, though it doesn't seem to solve any real problems. The Rabbit R1 is just cheap junk.
Or maybe the GGP was wrong about performance?

Some default settings in SWI are not ISO-compliant (for example, it uses a string type that does not exist in ISO). But these are minor things that won't usually trip you up when feeding it ISO code. You can set flags to get it to conform in the way you want. And you should set flags whenever you want your ISO Prolog programs to be portable, because the standard is very lax and leaves a lot of things implementation-defined. But it specifies the flags to get implementations into the state you want.
I would say that is one of the 3 conclusions I've drawn from philosophy as a solution to 'What is the Good?':
