I'm a state that resonates a lot with what you wrote, thank you for that. Checking out your bio I found out you have a very interesting blog, I really liked "Unexpected Benefits of Being Vulnerable on the Internet" as it's something that I often wonder about, how we condition ourselves to say things we believe will be accepted (and to receive upvotes) instead of what we truly feel, leaving our true self behind.
Any feedback on developer experience is always welcomed (preferably in github discussion/issue form). It's the first day in the open. We have a long long way to go and much ground to cover.

But the original question was about why Tesla prices drop on the used market. It is not about fear of batteries. It is due to real, documented cost increases in other sides: insurance and repair costs.

You having a Tesla doesn't mean all the statistics and articles I posted are false.
What a weird thing to take offense to.

Also yes, if there's a consensus on something, thinking different to said consensus would be unusual because it's not the usual. There are no value judgements in this article, so really interpreting this in any other way other than the literal sense makes you come off as defensive.

More to the article itself, I wonder which comes first, the unusual thoughts, or the loneliness?
Macy's employee hid as much as $154M in expenses
> This is huge, as long as there's a single standard and other LLM providers don't try to release their own protocol

Yes, very much this; I'm mildly worried because the competition in this space is huge and there is no shortage of money and crazy people who could go against this.
> I wonder how poor people in tents will fair in Canadian winter. I'm imagining many people freezing to death. But maybe homeless encampments are better prepared than I'm imagining.

Look no further than Portland, OR. We have built temporary shelters as "warming facilities" and we spend a lot of money in our budget to get them new tents, sleeping bags, and other materials every year.

The motto here from the citizenry is largely, "Just build tiny home villages" but Multnomah County requires multiple committees and processes that drag on for years to do such things. Until you come up with a permanent solution you will have a recurring, burning hole in your budget that will grow with the homeless population. Additionally, many of these folks rampantly damage the environment and city landscape which will also cause more budget shortfalls even after you get them into housing.
Wouldn't it be even more insane if protobuf had its own distinct string splitting/merging routines, its own flags and logging libraries, etc?
If you've done it a bunch before. People coming to WireGuard cold can get it set up in minutes. That's why it won: because it's much, much simpler.
How does it compare to RxGo?
Have you ever seen the corners of a car that has been parked in a big East-coast city? They will sustain damage during the course of normal operation and storage, and many people will not stop and leave their insurance information, especially if the damage is perceived as minor and happens while the car is parked and the owner not present. Currently, the corners of a car are relatively non-critical to its function and usually not too expensive to repair. If both of those change, we'll see more expensive damage that is more challenging to repair as well as less likely to be handled by the responsible party.

Also, having the sensors stick out from the corners makes the car's collision box and turning radius bigger. That doesn't help in any tight situation, but I imagine that's not that different between e.g. SF and New York. What is different is the sheer volume of cars and pedestrian activity.
it's just a shorthand for var foo int = 5 vs foo := 5 where the type is derived from the assigned value.
>I wasn’t accusing you of not getting the joke, I was speaking in general.

But you were -- you just hid it under a veneer of snark, innuendo, and plausible deniability so I'd be tainted by the implication, while still allowing you to (right on cue) insist that's not what you meant.

Maybe now you're starting to understand why ambiguity in writing is a double-edged sword. But then, if you were that conscientious, I wouldn't have to make the original point in the first place.
Will this be partially available from the Claude website for connections to other web services? E.g. could the GitHub server be called from https://claude.ai?
So we have two concurrency "engines" in mgmt:

(1) One for running the function graph, and (2) one for running the resource graph.

(1) https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/master/lang/funcs/da...
(2) https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/master/engine/graph

TBQH, I think I'm decent at concurrency, but I never considered it my passion or expertise and while both of those _work_ I do know that I have some concurrency bugs hanging out, and I'd love real professional help here.

In the odd chance you'd be willing to hack on things with me, I'd be particularly elated. There might be a possible symbiosis!

No, well 1980s Manchester isn't modern day $prosperous city.

Further, I suspect a run down '10 servant' Victorian Villa could house more people in bedsits, than the replacement apartments, so in effect youre complaining that the have nots had housing at the expense of the better off, which probably isn't the complaint you were intending to make.
Probably just "regular" LMs, not large LMs, I assume. I assume some LM with 10-100M params or so, which is cheap to use (and very standard for ASR).
To jump in on the confusion, I'm American and have seen it used both ways, completely dependent on context. When I read the original comment I understood it as 'next thing that we all think is best' rather than 'second best.'

But after reading the comments and thinking on it, I realize it's probably used more often in the context of 'second best.'
Jail is too expensive. What we need is actually very close to what halifax is doing. We need to legalize encampments, we just have to do it in very limited areas. The city buys a large empty field on the outskirts of town and makes the homeless to go there. Clear any other encampments routinely. This also makes it much easier for charities to help the homeless since theyre all in one place. 24/7 police presence at the new encampment. Will be tough for the people who live close to the field but its the best way to minimize the impact.
> but simply that it very often brings negative sentiments

Just as often as it brings positive sentiments. Something that is (from anecdotal observation) quite common from both camps on HN is disappointment with Mozilla’s governance.

> does that mean it's comparable to a piece of software that sends every single bit of information it can gather to its parent ad company?

Not the argument I made. As I said, I use neither.
Once fully adopted by at least 3 other companies I'll consider it a standard, and would consider it yes, if it solved a problem I have, which it does not.

Lots of companies open source some of their internal code, then say it's "officially a protocol now" that anyone can use, and then no one else ever uses it.

If they have new "tools" that's great however, but only as long as they can be used in LangChain independent of any "new protocol".
That’s only because they weren’t well connected (by design?) to the community vs how say the Soviets implemented theirs (one of the things they actually got right, despite the brutal aesthetics). Similar story for the US “projects” - completely isolated from ADLs (activities of daily living).

From all the places I’ve visited, I think the Dutch and Danish have figured out a nice middle ground for building mixed use human scale places.

Being high-status means someone can just ignore rules and frequently avoid consequences. Generally that seems to be true and historically it has been very true. Happens all the time if you keep your eyes peeled; and the converse - on sometimes formal consequences are forced on someone with high status regardless and they are shocked and confused because that has never happened to them before and they didn't realise that it was an option.

The formal consequences or lack thereof are often not a factor for people with very high status because they operate on the assumption that they can just ignore the consequences should they exist. That doesn't mean they ignore the rules - frequently the high-status types are the ones writing them so they typically agree with them in principle. But laws without formal consequences are about as effective as laws with formal consequences because the consequences aren't the major factor. Loss of status would be though, so things that are technically allowed can have major consequences (which IMO is part of why high status means someone eventually starts ignoring the rules - power corrupts as they say - the rewards and punishments are just different for someone with high status and eventually the feedback causes them to orient to that truth).

Trust your instincts and a grandfather's wisdom. Don't waste time reading anything. Eschew any and all academic or scientific takes on parenting. Fathering is like breathing. We've been doing it without thinking about it for millions of years. Seriously: just trust your instincts.
I just want to point out that you're skeptical of this author and publication because of their politics, but also you're taking the article at face value as a full and complete description of the situation.

If _you_ didn't do any research and just decided the situation validated your priors, why is it surprising that locals do the same thing?
Career pivot to ML/AI: How did you make the leap?
I'm a 4-year SWE and considering transitioning into ML/AI, either through a lateral move into a relevant team or pursuing further education like a specialized course or degree.

I'm curious about others who have successfully shifted their focus to ML/AI. I'm thinking broadly -- supporting SWE at ML-focused company, MLops, research -- I know that's broad but given I'm considering my future without a clear plan, a broad perspective is helpful to me.

- What sparked your interest?

- How did you get started?

- Did you make an internal transition within your company, or switch jobs?

- What's your educational background and were there any gaps you sought to close to facilitate this transition?

- What challenges did you face, and what worked well?
Nvidia claims a new AI audio generator can make sounds never heard before
I agree that if you pay $0 in maintenance you come out on top. But since you will have to pay high insurance and potentially high repair costs (and those repair costs get closer the older the car is), the price of the car tanks on the used market.

> insurance and collision repair works out not much different from other luxury cars

No, it does work out differently than other cars of a same retail value, that's very well documented. See my other comment
Suburbs are most of the time a forced housing solution. Allow people more freedom how to use the land they own. Have simple and sensible regulations on nuisance levels and light coverage. Japan is a good example where it works.
My naive opinion is a commitment to not break the ABI is a good thing not just for everyone else but for C++ as well. Languages like C#, Swift and Python (maybe even Rust?) have tools to integrate with C++ fairly deeply and cleanly. If C++ commits to being stable enough then there won’t be a reason to rewrite some amount of C++ into something else. It’s not a surprise that big tech is trying to move away from C++ and that’s not necessarily bad and remaining stable means the transition isn’t rushed. In the meantime people who enjoy and excel at writing C++ still can. Just seems like an overall positive thing to commit to.
Tesla may be better than traditional auto companies, however it is not the wonder people talk about. They take years to get a car ready, WHEN they can do it. Think about the Cyber Roadster and the long iterations to the Cyber Truck.

> It's bad enough to have the government requiring you to have a government-approved smart phone

The government isn't requiring that.

It's not forcing you to get a mobile ID.

Your physical ID continues to be just fine. Mobile device ID's are simply for people who want the convenience of not carrying the physical one.

Edit: geez, what's with the downvotes? I wasn't even defending anything. Just trying to keep things factually accurate here.

> What's so exhausting about ignoring like all of these corporates do?

Maybe have some empathy for the people who have to interact with individual customers. There’s not an amorphous blob of “corporates” who deals with everything, there are real people with an life just as rich as yours on the other side.

That's a very good point. I suppose that, if we assume a bitrate, and we assume partial messages are irrecoverable, then this puts a limit on the "uncensorable bandwidth." But it's easy to imagine a protocol that splits large messages into very small pieces to so that each message is below that limit.
Looks good.

I recently just created my own custom new tab extension. Closed source because it's literally just for me. It does a few nieche things e.g. syncing a todo list that also appears on a e-ink display. I like it. I also like that it's something that's just for me.
Thanks Miles for sharing our tool!
This serves as a lesson when naming projects -- call it something different to the core product. If you must have a package called ${name}-rs make it a wrapper around your repo.
You can even add nonstandard features to existing compilers!

The neat thing is that once the standard committee learns about this use case, it could get de facto support as existing use!
> ... intended to bolster resilience and deter aggression, it also makes war increasingly difficult to avoid. As economic forces and preparations for conflict are set in motion, they create a momentum that increases the costs of demobilization and makes peace harder to maintain, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy of war.

Really can't follow you there. Is this your very personal opinion or are there political science/ economic sources to back this up?

War is primarily a means of politics as Clausewitz stated in 'On War'.

Economics cannot deter aggression if it is politically so desired.

Never has.

What it can do, and what it did in any war, even the Cold War is that short of any one party purely overwhelming another by sheer force, the party who can sustain economic troubles and losses longer wins.

And this is what this is about.

Economic divestment does not in any way, shape or form become a "self-fulfilling prophecy" for war.

But if it came to war, one side is gonna run out of money and production capacity first.
Think long-term. In 40 years, when the last paper IDs are discontinued, we'll all be tracked, but the time to complain was now.
At my last workplace, I somehow managed to get away with only Microsoft Authenticator on my phone, with no actual remote management capabilities enabled. That's pretty much exactly where I draw the line: if I have to have a device to perform work functions, the workplace needs to supply it. I'm not going to put work data on my personal machines, and I'm definitely not letting a third party root my phone for me "for sekhurity", and apply work policies on my personal device. I'm okay with work 2FA on my phone, but only without MDM, as an exception for where otherwise there's no reason for me to have a work phone.
Debt in China is not a big issue, because Chinese banks are mostly owned by the Government. They can rearrange debt to deal with problems much more freely than Western governments.
I have to be honest - I haven't ever heard about it. Just checked and found it's very mature and popular, though it seems to have had no commits in the last 2 years.

After quick scanning, I'd highlight these 2 differences:
- Rill is type safe and uses generics
- Rill does not try to hide channels, it just provides primitives to transform them
The feds need to come crashing down on operations like this. Perhaps you should need to be an accredited investor before you can put your $280K nest egg into a poorly regulated not-bank offering 'prize linked savings' accounts.
And I was wrong. By EU’s own statistics trade in goods with the US is in the black (1).

In particular figure 7 (2) shows imports of energy goods jump from roughly 30 Bn Euro to around 100 Bn of from 2021 to 2022. Falling to around 80 Bn in 2023. Compensated by other exports.

Figure 8 (3) shows natural gas imports falling by almost half in 2023.

Those are the facts. Stats are most certainly nuanced, as example haven’t checked which goods are excluded, but I have to adjust my layman level understanding of it.

> What you actually want is a safety culture, Rust has one

Rust has a safety culture because it involves requirements for Safe Rust that preserve safety while also playing well with modularity and iterative development. If "Safe C++" can enforce similar requirements, we can expect that a safety culture can be sustained there as well.
This was a bad way to announce closing these issues. With a big list like that, everyone's going to find something they're pissed off about not having. They should have closed the issues slowly and quietly in the background - individually they're small enough that people probably wouldn't notice. But like this, many more people see what's happening and get angry together. Not a good way to do PR.

Maybe the idea was to rip the band-aid off and hope the outrage burns out quickly.
This combined with the read-after-write consistency guarantee is a perfect building block (pun intended) for incremental append only storage atop an object store. It solves the biggest problem with coordinating multiple writers to a WAL.
Man, which bars do you frequent where a large glass of wine is two pints?
It's not clear that modules alone will solve One Definition Rule issues that you're describing. It's actually more likely that programs will have different object files building against different Built Module Interfaces for the same module interface. Especially for widely used modules like the standard std one.

But! We'll be able to see all the extra parsing happen so in theory you could track down the incompatibilities and do something about them.

My conclusion is that all aggregators are bad. Economies of scale are bad.AI is bad. Anything that devalues humans is bad.

Everything has just become bad.

Reminds me of our blooming awareness of environmental pollution in the 70s.

Except instead of it being obvious, this 'financial pollution' is insidious, invisible.

Until small pockets of people are crippled. And that is why it persists-because enough people are spared this time and the inertia of the majority prevents action. Next month it will be another corruption exposed. Silicon valley bank, enron, Lehman, Salomon ....It just keeps going.
Not necessarily. A "good predictor" could still result in non-Gaussian performance for at least two reasons:

1. The prediction could be on a relative rather than quantitative basis. If IQ(A) > IQ(B) always implies Perf(A) > Perf(B), then the absolute distributions for each could still be arbitrary.

2. A "good predictor" in the social sciences doesn't always mean that it explains a large part of the variance. If IQ quantitative correlates with observed performance on some scale, but it explains only 25% of the variance, then the distributions could still be quite different. Furthermore, if you're making this kind of quantitative comparison you must also have quantitative performance measurement, whereupon its probability density function should be much easier to directly estimate.
> These mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) will be issued by state driver’s license agencies, but the standards incorporated into the TSA rule require that they be deployed through smartphone platforms (i.e. Google and/or Apple) and operate through government apps that collect photos of users and log usage of these credentials.

This is utterly ridiculous, at least for driving. Anyone who needs to validate that someone’s driver’s license is authentic should be well-equipped to query the relevant state’s database and look it up. Just like how they would search for outstanding warrants, Amber Alerts, etc.

With that in mind, surely it should be legal to drive with a photo of one’s driver’s license, a copy of one’s license, any app whatsoever that can display a license, etc. There is basically no security added by a fancy add by an approved contractor — at most they can do some “device posture” crap to sort of prove to a reader that the app thinks that the phone it’s on really does belong to the owner of the license, which is a silly form of security by overcomplication. If I want to pretend to be my friend, I can borrow their phone or their actual drivers license just fine.
This wouldn’t make it through building security. My last large corp x-rayed all packages and would notice a nonexistent recipient immediately.
