26% actually seems quite low to me. In my experience with EV rentals, it was over 50%, and I kept track.

In 2022, I purposely rented a Kia to go from SF to Sacramento. I wanted to try it out and thought of all places in the US, Northern California would be the safest place to do it. This was the eye opener. Connection issues with the chargers, non-responsive touch screens, damaged chargers, payment systems failing. I was lucky to see "Out of order" messages, because at least I wouldn't be wasting my time.

In 2023, I had a Bolt hoisted on me by Hertz in Boston for a round trip from Logan to Central CT. I planned to charge in CT during my visit, and wasted about an hour with the same issues. Thinking I could super charge, on the way, found 1 super charge station on I-95 between CT and Logan, and that was way past at the exit I left. I had to travel at around 60mph on that whole trip to keep the charge in the green. I arrived at Logan with no charge, and 45 min till my flight took off.

Neither rental company (Avis and then Hertz) provided Tesla adapters.

Also in 2023, Hertz shoved a Tesla on me in Houston, but I figured an urban area, I'd be fine. I was, but the Tesla station closest to where I was staying was completely out for maintenance. Thank God for Buc-ee's. They had a bunch of Tesla chargers there.

Not only are the networks bad, the apps are garbage. Bad, incorrect data is just one problem. The ones I use don't live update your location as you go, requiring manual swipes. I also experienced random crashes.

Imagine fighting with these stupid apps to get to a charger that has a 50/50 chance of working, then use these crappy apps again to get another coin toss.

I'm considering an EV for my commute, but I am going to avoid situations where I rely on the public charging network.
Just look at the pyramids. Thanks to slave labour Egypt has now a reliable source of income from tourism. Let’s make it legal again.
Why aren’t the other nations upset? There’s nothing legitimate about their grievances. Their super powers days are over, they just won’t believe it yet, and that delusion is costing Russia dearly. Instead of being a prosperous mid power, they insist on going for broke.
Yup, it is Kotlin-style nullability analysis that is a default everywhere now. The last place that does not have ideal behavior is System.Text.Json, but that is fixable with a flag, maybe two, and there are edge cases where static analysis can't see through some expressions and assumes null so you have to specify it isn't with '!'. Nonetheless, works great with '??', '??=' expressions, required fields/props and pattern matching.

From practical standpoint, a project with Nullable: enable, WarningsAsErrors: nullable has almost never have to think about unexpected nulls again - a solved problem.
Pascal was a first class citizen. Indeed, quite alot of the original Mac was Pascal and 68k assembler. For example, strings were prefixed with a length byte as is popular in the Pascal world.

Apple even shipped a Pascal compiler with their MPW Shell - a development environment.

Personally, I used MPW C and 68k.
X was being fined for not taking down certain account linked with allegedly criminal (as in anti-democratic) content.

While seemingly noble, some of these accounts were from people not living in Brazil, and supposedly being read by people also not living there. So there's the question of if an American corporation should censor the (one-way?) communication between, say, two US residents at the request of a foreign government.

The court should have issued a more reasonable request of restricting those accounts to be reached by accounts based in Brazil, which should restrict the judge's decision to his jurisdiction.
I've come to the point of accepting that I will always take notes in multiple formats. Syncing is "achieved" by writing things down in different places enough times that I just eventually remember what I want to do.

I also tend to put different kinds of tasks on different types of lists.

I make little pocket clipboards out of a piece of cedar shingle and a folded-in-half 4x6 brown index card, held together with a mini binder clip. This gives 4 different panels to write on. One of these clipboards is my primary grocery and hardware and other shopping list, which gets the occasional song/band name or funny idea written on it. Another of these lists is for my house and yard projects, using a somewhat bullet-journal like tracking system.

I have a 6x9 wirebound notebook at home that serves as my "daily plan" receptacle for work related tasks (I wfh 3 days a week). I take pictures of these pages if there are any tasks or info I need to refer to at the office. Then when at the office, I have piles of scrap paper that came from mistaken print jobs that I write meeting notes on. Also stickies inevitably get onto both of those. I also have a 4x6 wireboound notebook that fits well in a pocket that I bring when going to other people's work stations to write down the support items that didn't get into the ticket.

Anything that ends up as a project that I will put more time into will get notes written about it in Obsidian, and sometimes still OneNote, and also in the notes text file and comments in the source code of my development projects. I agree that the simple text file is the easiest way to record things on the computer.

As much as I've tried to consolidate these things into one system again and again, my current approach follows the ideas of TFA by just reducing the friction to get something written down somewhere, and if its important enough, in a number of places.

Writing on paper is faster than typing on a phone for me, but not as fast as typing on a PC. But getting to a pen and a blank part of a page is often faster than getting the right note-taking app in focus, so I still tend to mostly do that. Checking something off is also usually more rewarding on paper than on the PC.

And on my grocery lists, I check things off as I put them in the cart, AND cross everything off when done at the store, so that is a double-completion which is extra satisfying!
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's purely rational?

A lot of these OSS projects provided a commercial offering in the form of SaaS. Yet AWS/GCP/Azure can just take the OSS project, not contribute anything, and reap all the profit.

AFAICS, these licenses are only intended to defend against the cloud providers, not against companies just using the product commercially and internally.
I would think that Tesla’s really high reliability is probably pulling up the average for Electrify America’s really horrible reliability. So to me, 26% failure rate means like 2% for Tesla and 98% for EA, but ya, context is needed to understand the numbers.
> I don’t see how a government elected by the people can be considered a dictatorship

That's not how it works
FWIW a lot of those packages with default context wrapper functions have that as a backwards compatibility measure for code written before the context package existed. It's almost always preferable to call the newer function with your own context instead
When reading the article, you see that the threat seems to come after X failed to comply with legal order to block some accounts.
Of course, I thought that my comment didn't touch on the critical part about it. I just liked the talk he gave. Should I also criticize when saying 'It's great' so I can express myself in a perfectly balanced way between justice and what people think he said badly? I'm asking an honest question

There's a world of difference between a song and an entire social media platform.
You can vote your way into a dictatorship, but you cannot vote your way out.

This is good stuff but I'll say that it isn't as comprehensive as all that. These studies and findings are almost entirely focused on simple recall knowledge (isolated facts, vocabulary). That's an important part of learning certainly and it informs research on learning higher order concepts but it's not the full story.

Just to name one example, folks might look into research on conceptual change theory (eg Chi or Posner). This theory helps explain why a concept like electricity is so challenging to learn. The reason, in brief, being that naive conceptions make a category error and think of electricity as a thing rather than a process. And this theory then informs instructional practice. Specifically, teachers should be aware of difficult concepts and should design activities that force students to confront the contradictions between their naive models and more accurate/complete ones.

Mickie Chi also has fascinations research on active learning (ICAP) and related work on the effectiveness of peer learning.
Put your efforts where your mouth is and go build your own "real competition" if you think its that easy.
Google play store used to say that OM had over 1 million installs. It seems unlikely that popular applications can be pulled by fully automated processes without a human in the loop. Especially for something as nebulous as “Families Program” rules.
Tesla has Super chargers co-located at Parkers gas stations along Interstate 16 in Georgia. These are Parker's Kitchens that have a really good selection of Hot foods and places to sit down and eat. I'm assuming based on the spacing its strategic placement for Tesla drivers to get from Atlanta to Savannah or on down I-95 to Jacksonville.

I've also noticed them at Buc-ee's on I-75 and I-95.
Q: does anyone think it possible to rival them in a decade with enough funding?

> If you think building a Stripe or Visa replacement is easy, go ahead and try.

The use of easy here dismisses the Q's premise of a well funded decade.
It did. Their excuse (both the court itself as well as the media trying to justify the court's actions) was/is something among the lines of "Oh, Bolsonaro would establish a dictatorship [an hypothetical that never happen, Bolsonaro unlike the Supreme Court, never crossed a red line], so we will instead establish our actual dictatorship to prevent his dictatorship".

And here we are in 2024, Bolsonaro is not president anymore, the elections (organized by people who pretty much opposed Bolsonaro btw...) are over, but the Supreme Court is still arresting people. They are still having trials were the court is the accuser, the "victim", and the judge – all in the same figure. They are still ordering profiles on social media to be blocked. They are still trying to arrest journalists abroad. They are still sentencing protesters, or at best rioters, to 17 years in prison because they broke some stuff – they accuse those random people without any real power, random common people, to have threaten the rule of law.

It's bad.
Some roles don't require this.
You know what gas station this model works at? Buc-ee's. They're the most reliable place to charge your Tesla in Texas.

Katy, TX has 16 stations. You're going to blow 30 minutes to an hour inside the Buc-ee's anyway.
Quick question : what’s a judicial dictatorship, for you ?

I don’t think that article discusses the timeout issue. So all the issues mentioned in that article, plus the timeout issue.

The end result is you have to explain to every Go developer that they can’t use the http client as-is.

Start searching for http client usages in GitHub. You’ll probably find more incorrect usages than correct ones.

It’s a solvable problem, you write a wrapper http client once and tell everyone to use it. But it’s a nasty foot gun to have to explain all this.
Another interpretation is that (1) copyright interests are over-protected (at least) in US law because publishing industries are very influential, and that this policy overweights their short-term profit motive and underweights other interests that might benefit from looser enforcement (as the Constitution puts it: "promot[ing] the progress of science and useful arts.")

And simultaneously, (2) if you can actually demonstrate such an interest (in particular: a profitable business that cannot exist when copyright law is fully enforced), the courts and publishers won't actually shut you down, but will settle for a cut of the new revenue you created.

If you are interested in similar research, take a look at https://supermemo.guru (somewhat hidden "about" page: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/SuperMemo_Guru:About). Author spent quite some time on the topic and its history, including writing applications.
LOL nice. The scary thing is it's hard to tell if this is sarcasm on HN these days. Some days reading this site, I think I've found someone who genuinely believes we should end all regulation because it's more profitable without.
The reason we have copyright laws is that sufficient people with power believe that the world is better with them than without them. Same with fair use exceptions.

If an AI agent becomes just massively useful, and then a judge says that it's impossible to run it profitably with the current interpretation of copyright law, the agents won't go away: Copyright will change to make the agents legal.

It really wasn't very different with copyright's evolution as the web developed: There are theoretical copyright regimes that are much harder than what we have, but basically kill the legal internet. But the damage to existing internet services was just unacceptable, including to users.
You've lumped together companies that do very different things. I would just google "payment card network" and you can spend days going down rabbit holes to understand how complex the system is. And yes it is all totally necessary:
https://www.spreedly.com/blog/card-processing-network

"Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and AmEx also form the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) alongside Japan’s JCB International. The PCI SSC acts as an authority in the payments industry, regulating and enforcing the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) to protect cardholder information. The rules set by this consortium are not guidelines, but the ground-rules participants must abide by in order to participate in card-payments."

Have you read any history?
That is the future :)
Much success!
I’ve experienced unlimited PTO myself and have yet to see any kind of pressure. YMMV obviously but it’s not as universal as people say it is.
The Brazilian Supreme Court, like most judicial bodies, is not elected by the people.

It's true, judges in Brazil are like gods.

I worked for a (large, powerful) company where our Brazilian compliance people were 100% outside of Brazil to reduce the risk of them being thrown in jail because a judge wasn't getting answers fast enough.

Not sure if those judges are elected but it doesn't really matter.
Thank you. But remember, these are villains we're talking about. They would not care if the world knew they had stolen nuclear secrets. They won't care if they are tracked stealing money. Right?

Let's change it to, emptying 'everyone's' bank account; that kind of chaos would pretty much put a billion people in serious trouble almost immediately.

The point is, why go to the trouble of attempting to attack the most guarded?
Been writing Go since 2012 and consider the status quo on all of these to be _features_. I may be in the minority there though
You need 2 things: users with your app/terminal, and a way to interoperate with the international banking system. If you can do that, it's technically feasible to create a vertically integrated replacement of the whole stack. It's going to be a huge investment though.
The 10nm debacle was something to behold but they're still at it and shipping some products on Intel 4 now. I think the question is "at what cost?"
There's a bug in your logic. Yes, if a new contract is proposed and a party declines the terms, there is no new contract. But that has no impact on the old contract.

So the old contract is still in effect, as it was not replaced by a new contract. So who terminated the old contract? That's the question here, and the conclusion seems to be that the employer is the one who then fired the employee, the employee did not quit by refusing the new contract.

You can't show up in Android Auto unless you're distributed through the Play store (third party things like F-Droid and side loading means your app doesn't show in the car).
Some local jurisdictions, especially wealthier ones will continue to misallocate because they can. For sectors like ev/pv/chips, they pay back in reducing imports/dependencies, some level of even stupid pork barrel waste should be expected/endured, i.e. US fine with 700B fossil subsidies because strategic. 700-800/m couple income fine for 4000-5000 budget EV (new). Realistically in a few years when EV enter secondary market, they'll be 2-3k used. E: (apology for edits, out and about) 6m / 50% of annual household 8500-9500. Vs US median household income of 75k (round up to 80k to be generous) and average new vehical price of 50k. Of course they're not equivalent quality goods, but the point of driving costs down is to make 4k-5k tier cars possible.

>Instead, these players are forced to export abroad leading to unnecessary trade wars

This is very necessary, no reason not to take share from incumbent car makers, especially in RoW markets. ToT domestic players fine (E: as in fine to jurisdictions that, especially ASEAN / more integration), especially with current sanctions/potential, PRC FDI via recirculating USDs, better use now than risk lose later. E2: Let's not pretend PRC trade wars are any less strategic than US trade wars (like semi). PRC EVs sells -> EV piles -> energy infra -> sensors/fusion -> telco.
Stripe, Block, and PayPal each solved a massive pain point.

PayPal provided a way to pay people and vendors without giving away your credit card number.

Square made it easy to accept payment in person on a phone, without an extensive upfront underwriting experience and without expensive fixed monthly fees.

Stripe did the same as Square, but for accepting online payments.

Fraud and Risk come in many forms, and these providers, even with their UX innovations, sit on top of those same rails to reduce fraud. Without those rails, buyers can’t trust sellers and sellers can’t trust buyers.

In my opinion, you need to find a way to solve that problem before you can eliminate the fees being captured by these providers.
I can tell you it isn't difficult to build something like they have. The issue is more likely to get banks onboard to issue cards/payment instruments for your unknown payment network which has no terminals, the barrier to entry is very high.
And each of them are a vulnerability.

I agree with what you've said, but I think pretty clearly they're not talking about Superchargers.

As any non-Tesla EV owner knows, the other DC fast charging options are pretty egregiously bad - Electrify America was most notorious I think for having abysmal reliability.

In the past couple years, though, every other EV company has pretty much agreed to switch to Tesla's "North American Charging Standard", and an obvious major reason for this is that the Supercharger network is leaps and bounds better than the alternatives. This switchover is still in progress, so over the next few years you'll see CCS decline and more Superchargers.
They (villains) don't care about being caught, or the money. They just want to disrupt.
I had a roommate that kept a can of "King Oskar" brand fish balls. When that was visible on the shelf, he went to the grocery store.
Right. This observation is not unique to the AI space. Efficient infringement has been around for many years.
thank you for the reply and no bad feelings.. it is a vigorous and current topic.. lots of implications socially and technically.. Please note that individual artists and writers literally depend on legal sale of their works to live in any city. Those executives, investors and lawyers in the audience at Stanford with large capital assets are making decisions that change the markets in a real ways. Students (like you and me?) are in the middle and learning.. may this exchange contribute to that!
Thats exactly how it works. See russa, turkey, hungary now. Germany in 1930s.
I mean, meant to imply, live performance will become gold.
True, but given the fact that Brazil has in recent years voted the left in, then the right, and now the left again it doesn't strike me that a dictatorship has been established.
Not at all. There are other solutions around the world that bypass the payment gateways and credit card acquirers. In Holland they have iDEAL, in Thailand they have QR Codes, in Australia they have BPAY and in China they have WeChat Pay. There are tons more around the world. As a merchant, it can be very expensive integrating directly with all the different options, which is where these companies help - for a fee.
If you want to maximise sales and minimise abandoned baskets, you’d better make it easy for your customers to pay using the method they prefer!
Sure it would be possible with "enough" funding, almost by definition. If you can't, then the amount of funding clearly wasn't enough. I doubt you (or anyone btw) could get "enough" funding though. The amount of money you'd need just to get all their existing customers to switch would be monumental.
Not the OP but I have done similar things. Claude has a workspace option that let's you preset a set of documents (here the documentation of the library used) and a system prompt to be included when starting a new chat in the given workspace.
Those will be in its, fairly large, context window (overall, independently of its intelligence, I have found Claude current UI to have an edge when dealing with files).
This is what the far right in Brazil wants you to believe, but it's not true. It's especially not true in regards to X, as they have repeatedly ignored judicial decisions that are very similar to those by European courts (ie, remove illegal content).
Can we get the title changed to the actual title of the post? "The future of Deep Learning frameworks" sounds like a neutral and far wider-reaching article, and ends up being clickbait here (even if unintentionally).

"PyTorch is dead. Long live JAX." conveys exactly what the article about, and is a much better title.
A nit pick: how is that every possible way?
No but you might think to be less surprised about the repercussions when he's basically suggesting wrecking an entire industry.

Maybe you're not as grounded in the world many people live in.
