Anyone have a guess as to when another company's EV surpasses Cybertruck sales? Apparently it is the 3rd best selling EV in the U.S. behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.

this really must be common. I myself could have written a similar (less well put) summary of my last two jobs.
When Hwang Woo-Suk was lying about cloning humans, his connections in the government allowed him to suppress the story by putting pressure on the network to cancel the second episode of "Producer's Note" that would have aired the rest of the allegations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwang_affair

When the MV Sewol capsized a couple miles off the coast with 300 children actively drowning, the corporate control of the news channels allowed them to suppress the truth of the event, like how there was zero attempts at any rescue, and near zero survivors of passengers. Instead, the news spent a day reporting that all 300ish students had been rescued.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_MV_Sewol

South Korea is controlled by just a few Chaebols and that includes its news media. The president during the MV Sewol incident for example was ousted at least partially due to the kinds of corruption and non-democratic influences that were uncovered after the sinking.

When most media is produced, financed, owned, operated etc by a couple hegemons with aligning goals, I don't care what economic system you operate under, you do not have "free" media.

Agreed. When you just need a tiny bit of interactivity I can see the value in htmx. However, leveraging html as a dsl is bound to be limiting
I love Cairo, but it’s just not in the same feature or performance ballpark as skia. There’s a reason even Firefox adopted skia.
Skia is like the V8 of 2D drawing libraries, just a ton of continual investment into optimization. I used to work on cairo and pixman, it’s great, very straightforward but not finely tuned for performance on modern hardware.
even 1% would be unacceptable and should always be manually reviewed. It is too much hassle to report etc..
There needs to be some mechanism by which the people can check the process. An elected official would likely suffice.

Fantastic work for a 9 year old. If I had access to a computer at 9 I'm not sure I'd be making games so much as playing them. (Although I did move on from playing games to a healthy curiosity about how they worked "under the hood" fairly early on.) When he learns enough to have reached the limits of what he can do in Javascript, you should definitely look into the Godot game engine. Free/OpenSource, powerful, fairly easy to learn, tons of tutorials on YouTube, and even a game that teaches GDScript (their custom Python-like scripting language).

Context is everything. If I turned that in as a serious project at work, tell me all the ways it was less than perfect. If a 9 year old brings it to show and tell, you explain how much you liked the cool parts.

If my florist handed me a dead flower, I'd be irked. If a 4 year old hands me a dead flower saying "I picked this for you!", I'd tell them what a beautiful flower it was and how much I appreciated the nice thing they did for me.

A 9 year old isn't a 4 year old, but I think you get the gist.
The idling law in question is for commercial vehicles, meaning trucks. It has nothing to do with couriers or delivery drivers.

An identical copy necessarily cannot be measured in a way that distinguishes itself from the original. So "scientifically" because we're restricting the space to measurements of the physical world, and "of course" because the conclusion falls almost tautologously out of the definitions, no experiment needed. How can the thing scientifically not be you if it is not materially different from you?

To your example- I am not sure which of two points are being made, so I'll address both. I'm not saying that everything that happens to entity 1 also happens to entity 2, just that both are you. Two things can both be apples, even though biting one leaves the other intact. And if something happening to you makes you not 'you' anymore, 'you' isn't really a coherent concept across even a fraction of a second; you'd cease to exist and be replaced multiple times in that time.
Yeah I completely agree and that's exactly why the most annoying part of the OSS sustainability conversation. Most of the big OSS players (not individual devs, I'm referring more to the open core type of corporations) would just not exist at all, much less make more money, without OSS. No matter how much money elastic search lost to Amazon for example, they would've made basically nothing without OSS.
Oh yeah nowadays AWS believes more choices more footguns

The main question should always be: why update?

Should a library become compromised with a vulnerability, fine (if said vulnerability is relevant to your usage). If you need a feature only available in a newer version, fine (I’m counting better performance as a feature).

What I’m seeing far too much of is upgrading for the sake of it. It feels like such a waste of dev time. Pinning dependencies should be absolutely fine.

My current Vuescan license is from 1999. And I think that one was just to replace an older serial due to some upgrade on their end. It's probably the most bang for the buck of any software I've actually purchased.

I don't do much scanning anymore, but I do have an ancient Nikon CoolScan 35mm scanner that's probably at least 20 years old now. I get it out every few years to scan something I found and, with Vuescan, it still works remarkably well.

Although the last time I fetched it out from a storage container by our barn (I really should store it in the house) I found the negative strip scanner wasn't working anymore, but the slide adapter did and that was good enough for the task at hand.
This is awesome.

My son recently turned 8. All his coding so far has been with Scratch and other block-based programming environments (Octostudio, VEX Robotics, Apitor, Microsoft Makecode).

His typing speed is better than most kids his age, but still slow (around 10wpm).

I'm curious how you helped introduce your son to text-based programming. I've been considering either:

A) Having him go through this free Python course, that includes inline exercises: https://programming-24.mooc.fi/

OR

B) Having him create a web page in repl.it or similar.
"The 68-year-old is now in a race for her life because the law in Vietnam states that if she can pay back 75% of what she took, her sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment."

And, BTW, she appears to own enough assets. She had just refused to sell until now, arguing that a fire sale might hurt the price. So most likely, she will sell her assets now, pay back a large amount of money, and then her death penalty sentence will be changed to prison time.

I want to go off a small tangent

> In Theory There Is No Difference Between Theory and Practice, While In Practice There Is

I for one used to believe in a cross functional team. I used to believe that everyone in a team should be able to do every task in the team. I still believe it somewhat but my ego is shattered.

I worked on one team where the lead believed in this more than I ever did. Consequently, I was doing tasks I sucked at and therefore didn't enjoy s lot more because as she said, it will help me improve.

Long story short, I didn't improve. I just got frustrated and I quit. I guess it was all fine from the leader's perspective as her team stayed the way she wanted anyway.

I went down this tangent to remind people that when things are going well, we can say a lot of things that are nice like kumbaya my lord but when things are tough is when our ideals and morals are actually put to the test.

When poop hits the fan, will leadership throw someone under the bus? Will team members feel like leadership will throw people under the bus? Kind of a difficult question that we can't answer until we are there and at that point it is too late.
When I was a kid and needed rabies vaccine for a dog bite (the owner snatched the dog that bit me and took off before anyone had a chance to query her whether the dog was vaccinated) - it was 30 or so shots into my stomach, given over multiple days - and causing a lot of soreness and pain in between. I wonder if it’s still like this, because damn.
The occupational hazard of driving a really low to the ground Mini is that every new car with Bright-Ass-Lights (our family name for them) heading towards me is a punch into my eyeball. Fortunately I can flip the rear-view prism mirror to deal with similar vehicles behind me. The new trucks - raptors and f-150 - are particularly obnoxious, they are 2x my height and terrifying.
You're absolutely right, apologies!
> Need to keep that going as long as possible, and stay away from hiring managers who think their primary job is "protecting" the company from anyone who might make a mistake.

On that note, a quick shot-out because I've been lucky enough to see the opposite happen at a big company too. Performance cycles at the company very much disincentivized big bets. Some engineers really thought project "X" was important, but it was risky— if it didn't pay off by the end of the cycle, per the way the bureaucracy worked, it wouldn't be great.

The manager very much tried his best to protect them against this. In fact I don't think it paid that cycle, but the project remained active until it did eventually pay off. Shoutout to managers like this. The easy route is to act like a messenger for higher-ups, and never put your own skin in the game— but there's some out there that want to do what's best, not what's easy.
So what you're saying is Intel, or any other would-be NVIDIA competitor, needs to put out fast interconnects, not just compute cards. This is true.

I'm not sure your argument stands when it comes to OP's idea of a single card with 128GB VRAM. This would be enough to run ~180B models with reasonable quantization --we're not near maxing out the capability of 180B yet (see the latest 32B models performing near public SOTA).

This indeed would push rapid and wide adoption and be quite disruptive. But sure, it wouldn't instantly enable competitive training of 405B models.
I keep a hand mirror for just this case. Most passengers are more than eager to reflect it back and it almost always solves the problem.
You're writing as if AMD cares about open source. If they would only actually open source their driver the community would have made their cards better than nvidia ones long ago.

I'm one of those academics. You've got it all wrong. So many people care about open source. So many people carefully release their code and make everything reproducible.

We desperately just want AMD to open up. They just refuse. There's nothing secret going on and there's no conspiracy. There's just a company that for some inexplicable reason doesn't want to make boatloads of money for free.

AMD is the worst possible situation. They're hostile to us and they refuse to invest to make their stuff work.

The problem with squirrels and other wild rodents is plague. Yeah, that plague: The Black Death. It's not spread by bites but merely close contact.

It's treatable with antibiotics if caught early, but still a few people a year die from it in the US. Usually in the Rocky Mountain states.

> instead of just vaccinating them.

Vaccines are for pre exposure. Google suggests the total cost of this service is between $1,500 and $3,000.

Medical treatment is for post exposure. Google also suggests the total cost of this service is around $15,000 as it typically includes an ER visit.

> What if the test isn’t 100% accurate?

They take the animal and dissect their brain so that it is as accurate as it possibly can be.

> We give rabies shots to dogs and cats constantly, why do humans have to jump through hoops to get it?

Different legal standards for the quality of product and different market sizes. Your dog and cat is taking a bigger risk with the product than we expect you to. Your vaccine is inactivated virus and offers stronger protection. The animal vaccine can be a modified living virus or a recombinant vaccine and offers weaker protection. Your dog and cat is probably legally required to have one and you are not.

It's not a permanent vaccine, is it?

Sure, I suppose it could happen in that case.
