Was it the Aztek that had really rabid fans? It was one of those boxy ones.

Never could figure out if they actually had really good reasons for it or were just trying to justify having bought an Aztek.
But the turbine generates power to keep the plane flying. Why would it only work for 10 minutes? Certainly the flight time is a product of fuel level and altitude. Even if both engines fail the flight time would be a function of altitude. I don’t see how deployment of the RAT informs flight time.
the most useful ML feature for me is text recognition on photos, helps to copy phone numbers and such
Cybertruck reminds me of the Moon Patrol buggy.
Some context: it costs about £12 to register a company, all online, in minutes.

(Plus 30-60 minutes of online filing each year to declare no income/dormancy/no corporation tax liability etc.)
But that is ignoring what happened. Moths didn't "get darker." Darker moths died at a lower rate than lighter moths did. That is it. That is the mechanism. Similarly, when being darker became less beneficial, they started dying at higher rates again.

You could reword it to say that "moths that were more hidden in soot were more likely to survive." But that doesn't change anything? The individual moths involved had no intention. They did not choose to favor genetics that give them a darker look.
In 2020.
Now that is some high-brow trolling.
Huh? It’s a generator. It generates minimum power to keep the flight controls and instruments working. It’s not propulsion.
> I still would vote to learn it from Milewski though

I've read the first dozen chapters of Milewski so far, and while I really enjoyed the first couple chapters, his style of not giving precise definitions or statements, nor using precise notation becomes really annoying after a while and makes the book practically useless as a reference. He seems to think everything is easier to understand when it's written in lighthearted, imprecise prose.

>It seems like more on the left believe that if Trump is elected, we are unlikely to see another fair election.

Don't listen to what they say, Look at what they do.

Breaking Points back in July, while discussing the Trump-Biden debate <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV8ULfwTneE> (which I highly recommend watching; it's the single best sum-up), pointed out two things for those who claim (to believe) the above:

* If TrumpNaziKKK being reelected means "no more elections ever", shouldn't Democrats have originally chosen someone other than a living corpse as his opponent?

* While discussing how the many plans among Democrats like Newsom, Whitmer, etc. (and their successors) for 2028 were disrupted/forced up by the potential to replace Biden (before Kamala's abrupt coronation), they again pointed out the paradox of on the one hand claiming that Trump will abolish elections, and on the other hand having plans for running to replacing Trump in 2028.

Read this June New York Times interview of Whitmer. <https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/22/magazine/gretchen-whitmer...> Strange, how she doesn't say (despite being very specific about things like the plot against her) that "if Trump wins, there won't be elections in 2028 and all non-MAGAtards will be executed by Trumptroopers". You'd think that would be something of sufficient urgency to repeat at every public opportunity. Almost as if actual Democratic leaders don't really believe the rhetoric they have so successfully foisted upon their supporters, including 75% of Redditors.

Another example: Post-Trump/Biden debate, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) explicitly denying that Trump's reelection will threaten American democracy <https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/opinion/opinion-c...>.

Yet another example: After discussing Golden's op-ed, Ezra Klein citing other Democrats who privately admit to him <https://x.com/Timodc/status/1811136469911711877> that a) they don't believe Trump is an "existential threat to democracy", and don't know why others say that, and b) that's why they aren't speaking out about Biden stepping down, because they believe the damage to their own careers from doing so is a greater threat than Trump winning

Yet another example, perhaps the most prominent of all: Biden telling George Stephanopoulos that if he loses to Trump then, well, "I'll feel, as long as I gave it my all and I did as goodest as I know I can do, that's what this is about". If he was the only person who can save the country from Orange Hitler, would that really be the extent of Biden's reaction? Really?!?
There are no problems that can't be modeled without category theory. One of the most foundational category theorems is the Yoneda Lemma, which directly states that any problem phrased in the language of categories can be translated to the language of sets and functions. The same is true of every mathematical object with a definition in terms of sets - you could always replace the name with its definition.

The contribution of category theoretic language to the implicit framework of a theory can't be larger than the definition of a category, which is very small. You could be asking "why use groups when sets with an associative operation exhibiting closure, an identity and an inverse are more approachable?" Abstract algebra is based on a library of definitions that refer to types of operations on sets that are simple enough to be common. A tool or a technique are not the kind of things you can find in a definition.

Rings, vector spaces and modules get a sort of instant acceptance for what they are, but categories have believers and disbelievers. I am curious about how that can happen.
I thought the Bolt had a good reputation. What's wrong with them?
Both presidential candidates have signaled that they are pro-crypto scams (and one thinks that has something to do with the welfare of black men.) It's too late. Bitcoin has entered the house price zone, where people are elected to office on promises to make housing as expensive as possible. We'll have to wait until crypto brings down the entire economy. And after it does, the people who hold it will be bailed out:

"Do you know how many disadvantaged minorities are invested in crypto? Especially after we allowed them to invest their social security into it, with matching contributions from the state if they agree to hodl? Are you a racist monster?"

Meanwhile 90% of black people will have 90% of their savings in crypto, accounting for less than 2% of all crypto holdings.

FTX so far was barely a speedbump. All it taught politicians is that there's a lot of money in doing what crypto whales say, and absolutely no consequences even if it goes belly up in the worst way.

Just to see what kind of responses I can get....

If i were a crazy conspiracy theorist...what better way to control a population than to propagate a culture where thinking becomes the second best option? And our technological advances have raised the bar intellectually so high that the perceived divide is real as shown through declining IQ scores. And that divide is a means of societal separation, cultivated to allow aristocracy. But I'm just talking crazy.
BYD's FinDreams unit sells powertrain parts to OEMs.[1] The E-Axle for trucks seems to be available. They don't seem to promote the car-sized version. Mostly, FinDreams sells batteries.
Mostly, BYD sells entire vehicles. They're big enough that they don't have to be a parts supplier to others.

Tesla talks big about making a semitruck, but BYD is shipping them in quantity, and DHL is buying them. Range about 200 miles, which is enough for the daily trips of most local trucks.
They're not trying to do long-haul trucks yet. Just take over the local trucking market.
BYD isn't selling cars in the US much, but they make trucks in Los Angeles.[2]

Quietly, local trucking is going electric. Especially in China and Europe.[3] The US lags in electric medium trucks.

Ford CEO Jim Farley called the BYD Seagull “pretty damn good.” If US manufacturers don't keep up with BYD, “20% to 30% of your revenue is at risk.”

Similarly in English. I think "nix", like "git", is a self-deprecating name. It's a play on both "nix" -- to cancel or to not exist, and "nix" as the suffix for Li- and U-.

I believe there are several towns in several countries that are taking this "buy economic development" approach, differing mainly on the amount of subsidy they have to offer to entice someone to move to those town/country combinations. That real estate adage of "location, location, location" exists for a reason

I have secretly wondered if I'd be able to make living bringing WISP services to those places to help ease the modernity withdrawal of normal people wanting to move there. My grave fear is that my risks would be 90% bureaucratic and only 10% technical, given how much hatred community-run ISPs get

If only people who like changes like your change, should you really go ahead?

Plus you don't know what that correlates to. Maybe being "tolerant of changes" correlates with being particularly computer-savvy, and you're rolling out changes that are difficult to navigate. Maybe it correlates to people who use your site only for a single task, it would appear they don't mind changes across the platform, but they don't see them. Maybe it correlates with people who hate your site now, and are happy you're changing it (but still hate it).

You can't use a selected subset that is not obviously uncorrelated from your target variable. This is selection bias as a service.

Super interesting, I have super strong opinions here having been through the gamut. I cannot code when someone is watching me. I freeze up, can't remember basic syntax. I also think I code in a very sporadic way that would be confusing to watch.

In my last big search I did 3 major take home projects, and got paid for my time for 2 of them. Each project took about 10 hours and I was rejected without feedback. One of the jobs I'm pretty sure used my code from a react app that made a menu system for a restaurant.

My current job, a non technical recruiter reached out to me, we did a 30 minute interview, then I did a 30 minute interview with the team, and another 30 minute interview with the CTO and director. It doubled my pay and it's been the best job I've ever had. I'm a perfect fit for it and there was no technical aspect to it whatsoever.

Ultimately, I think the problem is inverted. Companies are worried about hiring, when they should really be putting way more energy on firing. Hiring should be: do I want to work with this person? And firing should be this person is not capable of doing the job. I think technical checks for new hires are largely useless.

You're right, 1 bit isn't enough.

I originally started out with 8 bits, and using modular arithmetic. with more than 1 bit, the server can differentiate between "next token" and "previous token", and act accordingly.

I realized I didn't need all 8 bits, and wondered how far I could push it. Well, you know what they say about off-by-one errors.

This kind of summary is tricky because the answer can depend on the bucketing that occurs from the spread of models or manufacturers.

The linked Kelly Blue Book report tables are probably more-useful, and state that in Q3, 4.8% of the vehicles sold were Cybertrucks.

Just because something works FOR YOU does not mean this is a systemic solution!

To be perfectly clear, what you're suggesting is not novel. In fact, it's so tired I don't even know why you bother to speak it. This has been our solution for the entirety the problem has existed.

Well, is obesity fixed? No, right? So, your solution doesn't fucking work. I don't know what to tell you, open your eyes and look around.

Yeah buddy, that's called statistical analysis. Not whatever the fuck you're doing. Sorry, I'm trying to use my brain here and come up with real solutions, I hope you can forgive me!

Oh but the people in your town in Colombia are doing good, that's just great. Clearly, you've cracked the code to solving obesity based off that. All those fatasses just need to garden!

You’ve invalidated all of journalism with a sweeping statement. Healthy skepticism (which everyone should have), is not this.
I don't know if I follow you. My point was that TV networks can't do propaganda for a candidate, i.e. they can repeat the policies of each candidate (without giving you their opinion on those policies and trying to convince you if it's good or bad or modify them) and fact check what they say, but they can't tell you who to vote for or blatantly lie about them. Hence they are neutral. Meanwhile here Fox will just tell you to vote for Trump to save America and that if Harris wins she will turn America into communism, and millions of people are watching and believing it.

Arguably their lack of extremely fast DC charging. But many of them got brand new replacement batteries, and the last wave off-lease have low miles.

If you want to play the "ultimate goal" game, the ultimate goal is to do it all profitably at scale -- and Tesla is way ahead on that front, which is why their fleet self-drives almost as much per day as Waymo's fleet has ever driven.

Having two mouse buttons available for two actions would make sense, except that right-clicking on the puzzle brings up a context menu. So regardless of the swapmouse setting, only the left click is a real possibility.

I find the implementation of dragging really annoying compared to similar engines. What I'm used to is:

* click and drag will only operate in a single line, either horizontally or vertically

* click and drag will only perform the same operation (considering both original type and new type). In particular, if I've already filled in every other cell as water, dragging in "ship" mode should only fill in the empty cells, not overwrite the water.

* there should be "undo" support, both Ctrl-Z and U as well as a button

Another feature usually not found in similar engines, but really useful in order to regain some of the experience from solving them on paper:

* have a nearby text box for keeping notes; clear it when a new puzzle is started

Are we like dinosaurs to mammals and AI is the asteroid?
As AI evolves, the parallels to the asteroid event that wiped out the dinosaurs seem worth pondering. Just as climate change wiped out the dinosaurs, AI could become a similarly unstoppable force that humans cannot fully prepare for or control. Dinosaurs, as dominant as they were, lacked the adaptability to survive the sudden environmental changes. In contrast, small mammals thrived because they could burrow underground, live on less, and adapt to new conditions.

If AI is the metaphorical asteroid, then we must ask: are we the dinosaurs in this story? If so, what, or who, might be like the mammals?

New cars have always been expensive. The average car is 12 years old in the US, not many EVs were available in 2012, but a lot of used cars are older than that. Give it time and EVs will drop in price. Though with charging standards changing it will be a while just because some cars will not be chargeable.
SFC Announces Aspirational Statement on LLM-Backed Generative AI for Programming
1. I was interacting with the general theme of the comments on the article, which is the zeitgeist plastic bad.

2. I believe you should consider logical fallacies and questions of scale and trade offs.

Specifically people arguing against "plastics" in general seem to depend on hearsay, strawmen, all or nothing fallacy, appeal to authority, etc. it is black and white thinking against the nuance of the real world. In recent times on many issues it seems that black and white thinking is presented as something that is a rational way to approach things. It is not. The real world is complicated and full of nuance anf tradeoffs. Just because you can show some plastics may have some harmful effects does not mean that the miracle of plastic materials is a net bad for humanity
or the environment unless you can show the harm EXCEEDS that of scalable alternatives. The burden of proof is on those who are against plastics to show that the net harm caused by specific compounds is worse than the net benefit of using them. We will never be able to prove that all plastics are harmless in every possible context. Nor should we. In life we have to make decisions based on the best available information we have. So it makes more sense to ask after 70 years what significant harms have been caused by plastics that would be made less than alternatives. Even a thousand pictures of dead birds does not make a compelling case unless it is weighed against the costs of harvesting forests for paper and burning fossil fuels to make glass and metal to make inferior packaging that costs more and takes more fuel to transport.

All else held equal light weight non biodegrade materials made from cheap highly productive chemical feed stocks are better for the environment than alternatives.

A series of anecdotes and one sided analyses does not make a compelling case.
Why can't they show the ads that violated policy on the ads transparency page? Seems like part of the transparency would be seeing what they removed.
