> The largest polluter in the world is a Communist country, and in the last 30 years their CO2 emissions have sextupled

I guess you're talking about China here, who has a supposed "socialist market economy" (with strong private sector, stock markets and foreign investments), high wealth inequality, authoritarian governance, private property ownership and very low social welfare.

The only way China could be considered communist would be because it's a one-party state with a self-proclaimed party with "Communist" in the name, but in reality and on the ground, China isn't communist at all so not a great example.

What has capitalism to do with it? It is just division of labor. And upgrading products so they become other products. And i think its fantastic. Because, to be honest, i dont know how to cut trees, how to shredder them, how to make paper out of it, so i can finally apply my skill to draw advertisement on the spam, that you receive.

(Reminds me of old communist days, where you get some gray paper. I was so happy when i got that shiny reflective paper from wrigleys i could glue to my matchbox!:)
Being intelligent is good but it would be a mistake in my opinion to over emphasize this one attribute.

Lots of intelligent people are somewhat deficient in drive, motivation and ambition.

For example, one of the smartest people I know is a Mensa member. He works as a self employed home handyman. But you'd never guess it by looking at his house. He lives in a rundown fixer upper that he bought 20 years ago and it still looks pretty much the same.

I think one of the big takeaways from Haskell for me was that errors don't always need to be explicitly handled. Sometimes returning a safe sentinel value is enough.

For example, if the function call returns some data collection, returning an empty collection can be a safe way to allow the program to continue in the case of something unexpected. I don't need to ABORT. I can let the program unwind naturally as all the code that would work on that collection would realise there's nothing to do.

Debugging that can be a pain, but traces and logging tend to fix that.
Wow, it used to be way easier to park on the street in NYC.

The western model is architected to exploit cheap labour from its colonies/vassals/"developing states". And to keep them from ever becoming developed. When these become unavailable, there is no plan B, you just go bankrupt and out of business.

It would be interesting to see the numbers I guess. For one, the manufacturer is offloading that energy burden onto the owner, not themselves.

IIRC A large portion of the carbon created by a car is during the manufacture, so if you're not forging a prop shaft and machining a gearbox, is it acceptable to reduce engine efficiency by some measure? Especially given the engine won't run all the time, just when the battery drop to some margin the car feels it should start charging.

Potentially (theorising here) Your EV will last longer before getting crushed into a cube, as it can compensate for battery degradation, your engine will last longer as it will have a fairly stable usage load (revs etc) and won't be used much
The last Toyota rental I drove (think it was a ‘22 or so?) sure had a smaller, less ‘app-like’ touchscreen and a lot of physical buttons, but I could use those buttons while driving. I’m giving this one to the Toyota.

The moment it’s standardised not only in writing, but as a physical object, it should become trivially prosecutable. The existence of these cards should trigger DoJ intervention. (Maybe the Adams administration’s recent failings will prompt this.)

It doesn’t.

Env cost is burning fuel. Everything else doesn’t matter.
my understanding was that you can run the gas engine in optimal speed to charge the electric engine which makes it more efficient.

I can design hardware - but as a programmer I know I'm not very good with it and avoid it. I know when I design something it will be subject to things I barely understand like RF and cross talk. I could get a EE degree (either formally or just by self study), but that would be a lot of work and so I think it is better to not do that. Hardware developers fail to understand they are not very good at software and they don't understand the mess they are making.
And just like that, the alienation of labour becomes evermore present.

Of course, this kind of process that abstracts away meaning and creativity from the work has been a thing for a while. After all, similar observations were already being made even by Karl Marx during the 19th century, and it'd be weird if similar stuff couldn't happen with regards to generative AI.

Of course, the way this works nowadays is substantially different than how it would have been for 1800s factory workers, but similar ideas and trends can certainly be seen here.

As for the idea that computer scientists should just had a self-imposed moratorium on things like generative AI, I'm sceptical that it could have ever worked. And now the cat is already out of the bag, so we get to enjoy the consequences. AI slop and all.

All cars I’ve rented in the last 5+ years have CarPlay/Android Auto, so it is all the same UX. Connect the phone via usb or Bluetooth, and I’m good to go. Can’t say that for Teslas.
That would be a damn good record though, isn't it? (I am fairly sure that more were found since, but the point is that these are pretty rare). Firecracker, which is written in Rust, had one in 2019: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-18960

Also QEMU's fuzzing is very sophisticated. Most recent vulnerabilities were found that way rather than by security researchers, which I don't think it's the case for "competitors".
Even if they are only used by family members of cops, this is still nepotism and should be punished. There is no valid reason for these cards to exist. Maybe I am naïve, but I still think that the law should apply equally to everyone.

There’s a ton of research going into analysing and reverse engineering NNs, this “they’re mysterious black boxes and forever inscrutable” narrative is outdated.
Not really. Feels like orders of magnitude less than other companies of similar size. And still feels like that today. However, the fact that this sense of 'we are ALL and thus need not bother with anything but company-internal politics and how we influence the world at large' is missing at Apple is now hurting them: They appear to be pretty brazenly picking fights with governments thinking they are the david, and they.. really, _really_ aren't.

One wonders why.

* Lingering influence of Jobs? Even now?
* Their somewhat well known weird corporate structure?
* A cultural conviction that they are the underdog, instilled decades ago when Apple was doing badly, a conviction that is cherished with such religious fervour it survives even today when Apple has been top 3 market cap world wide, has reigned the profitability-in-cell-phones charts for over a decade, and in general has a profitability that makes your head spin, it's incomparably large (literally: Compare it to other big corps and it is mind boggling).

I just don't know what it is. I find it remarkable that Apple does _not_ seem like it has had its fair share of political infighting and forgetting to compete. It has had its share of that, sure. But not its fair share. Not even a tenth.
No testing and proving a new suit is an excuse. The point of the mission is to bring a billionaire into space. Is this bringing more eyeballs to space research? No. This is bringing more eyeballs to space tourism. So that more crypto bros can have a cocktail in orbit at the expense of everyone else.

I am not offended by SpaceX achievements. I am perfectly fine with SpaceX internet constellation. It has quite a crazy cost, but somehow its utility is proven for a lot of folks, not just one random guy.

> This shit produced what? 300 tons of CO2?

Space exploration produces around a drop in the water of our C02 footprint for now. It is probably the hardest things to make net zero but it's such a tiny amount that it doesn't really matter.

People flying around in these things all the time is likely so far away that a totally different set of energy technologies will be available.

> Just so that this billionaire dude can spend 10 minutes in space? How much human work did this feat cost?

circa 1930s:

Look! Rich people are starting to fly in planes! It must be stopped! All this human labour, research and engineering just to that a select few get to reach the sky! Shut it down!
Automation - which western companies have been doing for years. The typical western factory makes just as much today as in 1950, but with 1/10th the number of humans. That automation is often not only cheaper (compared to western wages, not compared to Chinese wages!), but more accurate.
yeah, 50km each way.
Division of labor?

It should just not be done! The entire process I described is a complete waste of resources. But it's "growth" from an economic point of view.

If your job is to make things so that I can drop them in the bin… can't you see there's some kind of waste?

I have a rather niche theory that many Hindley-Milner type inference tutorials written by Haskellers insist on teaching the error-prone, slow, details of algorithm W because otherwise the authors would need to commit to a way to do destructive unification (as implied by algorithm J) that doesn't attract pedantic criticism from other Haskellers.

For me, I stopped trying to learn Haskell because I couldn't quite make the jump from writing trivial (but neat) little self-contained programs to writing larger, more involved, programs. You seem to need to buy into a contorted way of mentally modelling the problem domain that doesn't quite pay off in the ways advertised to you by Haskell's proponents (as arguments against contrary approaches tend to be hyperbolic). I'm all for persistent data structures, avoiding global state, monadic style, etc. but I find that OCaml is a simpler, pragmatic, vehicle for these ideas without being forced to bend over backwards at every hurdle for limited benefit.
> demonstrated over and over

can you elaborate on this please?

capital has upkeep costs, yes, but it seems trivial to look up infrastructure spending, debt service costs, GDP, tax burden, for various tax jurisdictions.

these things are pretty well studied. taxes do go down.
I was absolute Volkswagen fan. The Audi Quattro was great. Diesel engines were a huge leap forward during Golf 4 times (20 years ago). 1.9 TDI was great, had that nice 96 kW version. Afterwards VW cut quality. Suspension in VW got worse than in Audi branded cars. The FSI engines came with timing chain problems. Then the big story with diesel defeat device and gasing apes. And then ID branded electric cars showed up and were obviously at least one generation behind competition. And every year the price jumped higher and higher and there was no improvements in quality or design. Current VW is a brand of boring expensive cars with average quality and very arrogant management. This is a perfect recipe to disappear.
And military family cards? ABA cards? How about cards from political parties? The corruption is in how the cops react to such things. (Back in the day, the Hells Angels also issued thankyou cards, although how cops would react is questionable.)
My 2019 Toyota has terrible UX. The higher end cars, particularly newer ones, are a little better (comparing Camry vs Corolla e.g.) but overall pretty bad.

Would love to hear people's opinions on car UX though. The Tesla is terrible too, as are most newer car brands. I haven't minded Hyundai cars, and I recently drove a new Nissan that was decent.

It is not so much insane as "they either have people wait for an hour or are not telling the truth".
Imports aren’t so challenging: You’re effectively imposing a new tariff, and tariff calculation is already a complex business of defining categories and setting rates.

It’s a drop in the proverbial bucket for some Federal agency to annually assess the rough carbon intensity of a dollar’s worth of exports from 150 nations across a few dozen industries.
Suspicious phrases in peer reviews point to referees gaming the system
Germany made VW EV are already too expensive (and yet still make a loss per vehicle). Tariffs might give a short window - VW CFO has said 1-2 years - to get to the level where they can make cars profitably and affordable for the consumer. No chance of this

I’ve said it before but I have a picture I took a decade ago of this beautiful meadow I rode my bike past with the morning sun shining through the tall grasses.

We are making some progress towards a greener future with the plummeting birth rates. I wonder if that contains some sort of feedback loop.

Otherwise we are not making any real progress. We certainly pretend that we are though.
According to Merriam Webster:

capitalism:
an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

Which when you think about it is absolutely amazing. To have a private company achieve this has brought traveling to space as a private citizen much closer to the average person than NASA has in 50 years.
Trailblazers like this pay and pave the way to make this more affordable and more efficient for those to follow.
I don’t get these NIT-review at all. The best review would have been to push directly the change to their branch. That way the reviewe would have seen the fix, while gaining time and saving a back-and-forth.

When writing a review takes as long as changing the code, always prefer the latter.
The main author of KANs did a tutorial session yesterday at MLCAD, an academic conference focused on the intersection of hardware / semiconductor design and ML / deep learning.
It was super fascinating and seems really good for what they advertise it for, gaining insight and interpret for physical systems (symbolic expressions, conserved quantities , symmetries). For science and mathematics this can be useful but for engineering this might not be the main priority of an ML / deep learning (to some extent).

There are still unknowns for leaning hard tasks and learning capacity over harder problems. Even choices in for things like the chosen basis function used for the KAN “activations” and what other architectures these layers can be plugged into with some gain is still unexplored. I think as people mess around with KANs we’ll get better answers to these questions.
> letting the compiler decide that `Int` is as good as `Maybe Int`

I was thinking more like explicitly telling the compiler that an implicit cast is OK, in other languages done by implementing the implicit cast operator for example.

edit: but if I understood you correctly, Haskell just doesn't support any implicit casting?

Apologies!
The thing is, I'd be glad of this sort of thing in-game which could be sought out at need (go to Elminster) or turned on/off (map guide arrow).

I'm about 3 personal projects and 2 side jobs and 1 computer generation too far behind to play BG3 --- positive reports such as yours make me regret that, but I also worry about disturbing my pleasant memories of resolving a crisis and ensuring the best endings for my various companions....
I disagree. Yes, the west had pretty terrible colonial past, but we are owning up to that. We introduced supply chain laws to remove child labor and extortion where possible. We have debates over closing factories because of human rights violations. Yes, there's black sheep, but in total the west is trying sincerely.

And then you have russia, which is basically the largest colonizer on the plant, and Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Syria, many African Countries... which are a gleaming example of human rights as we all know. Yet, you chose to pick on the group of countries which at least try?

I cannot understand your worldview.
I would agree with that. Given the history of the Oxide team, they chose what they viewed was the best technology for THEM, as maintainers. The rest is mostly justification of that.

That's just fine, as long as they're not choosing a clearly inferior long term option. The technically superior solution is not always the right solution for your organization given the priorities and capabilities of your team, and that's just fine! (I have no opinion on KVM vs bhyve, I don't know either deep enough to form one. I'm talking in general.)
VW has Chinese joint ventures since decades. They already sell their "jv-EVs" in China, just not in Europe. I think in that regard, they are undecided wheter these products will meet brand standards in Germany.

VW as a brand went upmarket in the 2000s, with Skoda / Seat / jvs going for the meat. They became world class in repackaging and rebadging, and EoS helped a lot. That also made them kind of conservative in engineering, since everyting everywhere is super path dependent. You could find the same switch in a Seat Arosa and in a Bentley.

They are not trying to make a good EV, they try to replicate their ecosystem as a whole and that needs EoS above anything.
