1. There are still service items on a Tesla that are relatively frequent. Tires rotated every 6,400 miles, brake calipers cleaned and lubricated yearly for northern climates with salted roads, cabin air filter changed every 2 years, and two other service items every 4 years.

2. This is technically a tangent to the issue at hand. If Tesla was a gasoline vehicle startup they would have the same incentives to avoid dealership franchises, perhaps an even stronger incentive.

3. The fact that vehicle service is the most profitable part of the business is a great argument for the dealership model. Tesla owning their own service centers means that they are directly incentivized not to fix reliability problems in their vehicles, while all the car companies who have to pay out dealerships to handle recalls and warranty claims have a direct incentive to produce a reliable vehicle. Lo and behold, Tesla is about halfway down the vehicle reliability list according to consumer reports. At least they're better than Chrysler?
Yep. There's nothing scientific about trying 1000 different treatments on yourself. You'll probably drive more interest in the field if you live to be 120 or something, but that's about it. Mostly reeks of ego, selfishness, and a fear of his own mortality.

Speaking as a healthcare worker, people in this country don't need a longer lifespan, they need a better quality of life. Most Americans become pretty sick by their 40s-50s due to lifestyle, diet, and lack of access to healthcare. You have hypertension and/or diabetes in your 30s, which progresses to chronic kidney disease in your 40s, and by your 50s you're spending half the week sitting in a chair getting dialysis. His wealth has made him so far removed from the reality of most people.
Could someone clarify on how it can achieve exactly-once processing with idempotency key?

Using the example they provided:

1. Validate payment

2. Check inventory

3. Ship order

4. Notify customer

I'm curious about case when one of the operation times out. The workflow engine needs to then either time out or it may even crash before receving a response

In this scenario, the only option for the workflow is to retry with the same idempotency key it used, but this may re-execute the failed operation which may have been succeeded in the prior run because workflow did not receive the response. The succeeded operations would skip because workflow has run completion record for same idempotency key. Is that correct?
"I visited a GM dealership this week and the salesperson told me Super Cruise was not enabled for test drives."

Seems like
a) the salesperson might not know his vehicles and perhaps it just wasn't a Super Cruise enabled vehicle (meaning, it wasn't added-on to that specific vehicle).
b) the actual Super-Cruise module was broken in that vehicle, and that was his excuse
c) he didn't know how or wasn't comfortable with telling you how to enable it. (some people are still quite afraid of giving full control over to computers)

I have tested numerous vehicles with Super Cruise; I quite enjoyed it.

I could be wrong, but unless it's a new GM rule, afaik, and with my understanding of how dealerships work (as far as the ones I've visited), dealerships try to avoid messing with the vehicle programming as much as they can. It's rather sad, as aside from the manufactures, dealerships have the most tools and access to the vehicles programming, but rarely-if-ever stray from the service manual.

Custom programming kind of is a market for that reason.

Living in a state with a very large automotive industry, there are a lot of people who have the tools + knowledge that offer custom programming services like: Programming the key fob that if one was to hold the unlock-door button for 5 seconds, the driver side window opens. And if the lock button is pressed once, then held for 5 seconds, all the windows are rolled up. Enabling a bunch of different video codecs/formats and enabling video-playback while the car is in motion if the passenger seat detects something siting there, etc, etc...
This was written up in Australian news as "bad news for Australian steel making" instead of "amazing! we can get rid of a french metric megatonne of CO2 burdens if we adopt this new tech"

Some people insist on turning good news stories into bad ones. I have no doubt there will be IPR costs, but China wants Australian iron ore, and I am sure there will be an accomodation between states on RAND terms.

Have I missed how this really is a "bad news story" or is it just that it demands re-capitalising old, dirty steel production facilities?
Cruise had extremely competitive base, and you're in a thread trying to partially attribute their downfall to a lack of comp: so how much that equity is worth after a downfall is a bit of a non-sequitur
There are common physical traits that form a family resemblance.

There’s also skull shape and nose length. But what’s the point of binning by these traits? US usual racial division is nonsensical (and I’d say offensive if I was american) and no one dares to question it. You literally blow the question of genetical origin to 100x size compared to the rest of the world. And yet don’t even do it in a way that could make sense instead of being a phenomenon similar to racism but by ignorance and meaningless overgrouping. And then avoid talking about it cause it’s a taboo. It is uniquely American.

Cool idea! I wonder if this may be useful for creating things like consoles, digital readouts etc. A very lightweight GUI library over this which writes directly to the video memory will do the job well.
I once refactored a server-side codebase due to poor performance, and a significant time suck was - I kid you not - this line (in pseudocode):

logger.info(“Request:” + JSON.stringify(httpRequest));

Terrible! I removed it, deployed it, and…alarms went off. It turned out that the line in question was being used to populate a critical metrics feed.

In that terrible, terrible case, I agree that the load-bearing log line should be tested. In any other scenario I’d personally avoid it, outside of mission critical medical or other codebases. But that’s me, I understand the impulse to test it.

You're trying to catch the specific implementation of the attack rather than the general attack. Suppose they don't lie about the size of the memory, instead they find a way to mask out one of the address bits so reads from higher addresses go to lower addresses or vice versa. Which they can change in hardware at runtime after you've done whatever checks you want and which doesn't necessarily have to be the most significant bit.

> This would be like calling Uber a restaurant company just because they launched UberEats.

an apt comparison.

Some people dislike how ubereats operate.

The dislike of private equity is not unfounded, but also the problems don't actually stem from private equity at all, but from bad/misaligned incentives. People tend to want to assume that private equity buying a business will retain the same incentive as the original owners - but the reason why PE would buy a business is _because_ the original owners weren't being perfectly efficient (aka, stingy).

This has nothing to do with private equity per se, and has everything to do with capitalism at it's core.
Cool. Now they should investigate Purdue Pharma's lies and reputation laundering and their connection to prominent republican politicians with regards to the opioid epidemic and how they misrepresented their drugs that were arguably worse than morphine for the body as "less harmful".
Never going to happen. There are loads of these situations where pharma corporations will screw up and resort to public relation firms for "cleaning" their screw up. It's Orwellian how bad the situation really is.

From memory wikileaks leaked an email from someone involved in pharma talking about "threatening leakers" for leaking their lies. I'm not talking mere legal threats, they were talking blatant blackmail in an Epstein fashion.
> Given that Egyptian Blue is a synthetic pigment that must be manufactured by human skill and ingenuity, it boggles the mind that people keep falling for this idea that ancient peoples could not perceive blue.

Doesn't mean they perceived it as blue. Maybe they saw a weak green, or even a grey. Says it was named it 1809, so it wasn't Egyptians calling it blue.

WebDev Arena: AI Battle to build the best website
Got it! So you can make the entire HTTP endpoint a DBOS workflow that performs the synchronous work then launches a background task. Something like this:

@app.get("/endpoint")
@DBOS.workflow()
def http_workflow():
synchronous_task() # Run the synchronous task
DBOS.start_workflow(background_task) # Start the background task asynchronously

This is atomic in the sense that if the synchronous task runs, the background task will always also run.
But everyone uses it. If the parser was more difficult it would not be literally everywhere and a go-to.
You can run the tests on each commit in parallel if you're okay with wasting CPU time to save wall-clock time. git-branchless can speculatively run linear or binary search in parallel up to a user-specified number of jobs [1], and I'd like it add it to jj someday, as it's one of the features I miss most.

(To run the tests in parallel, git-branchless provisions its own worktrees. For binary search, it speculatively executes the search for the potential success and failure cases; when the number of jobs is a power of 2, this partitions the search space evenly.)

Don't know if someone already mentioned this, but one of the main benefits of ETFs for me is portability. I can move them around to get sign up bonuses and other perks. For example, I got a 1% bonus recently just by moving my ETFs to Robinhood. Before that I got a 1% mortgage rate discount by moving ETFs to one the banks temporarily. That more than covers for the 0.04% expense ratio of the funds.

I agree, "racism" is often used as a scapegoat for the sake of diverting attention from certain details for the sake of reputation laundering. These organizations will stoop to any low because they could face jail time.
Indeed. Modern warriors understand this concept. This is why Al-Julani of HTS (the group that has prevailed in Syria) has emphasized that he supports 'diversity' and that the Kurds and so on will be recognized. There were various forces at play in Syria and he'd be in a war with all of them if he was hardline right at the start. The constraints of peace apply to all, violent or not, and to win it's better to not be religious about your violence.
> Tesla FSD is practically perfected

Absolutely untrue. It's not even close to perfect. I use it a few times a week and while it's seen some significant improvements over the last year, it still makes pretty dangerous mistakes, especially on left turns, right-turn slip lanes, intersections with flashing yellow lights, streets with very worn road lines or where the positioning of the road lines shift from one side of the intersection to the other. I can think of a dozen other similar situations so I'm very sure there are many others I've never even encountered.

It remains to be seen how much juice Tesla can squeeze out of a transformer approach to autonomous driving, but it's by no means a sure thing.

edit: I misunderstood the comment. I see now that "practically perfected" is a reference to the ideal conditions mentioned in your first sentence.
Why would the Open Source Initiative bless a non-open source license?
Consider this:

If we try to reinvent it like with charter schools, then we need endless regulations to prevent scams because people are greedy and act in bad faith.

Rather than make government huge and try to prevent tax grift, we could just have what's always worked and is proven.

Why are we shifting toward private schools? Because of regulatory capture.
I used to do a very low carb diet that kept me in ketosis. For the most part it was great but the sleep difference concerned me. At the time my life was structured to where I didn't need to be awake at any particular time so my body would wake up when it had enough sleep instead of when an alarm went off. While I usually sleep seven to eight hours when eating a standard American diet, when on low carb, it would end up being only five to six hours, usually closer to five than six. I'd feel completely rested and fine but most days I'd need to take a short ten to fifteen minute nap, during which I'd quickly fall into REM sleep. When waking up from that nap, I'd feel fine, no post-nap grogginess, but it made me wonder if I was getting shorted on REM sleep during my primary sleep period.

This is probably the correct decision. Alex Jones's vitamin company offered 2x more cash, and in the case of a bankruptcy, cash completely trumps any notion of "giving up debt." Especially when the debt being settled is astronomically large and you are giving up a very small portion of it ($7 million out of $1.5 billion). The other creditors are far better off getting more cash, and those $7 million of claims are worth way less than one cent per dollar.

Additionally, the auction here was run farcically, and basically seemed designed to create an outcome where the onion gets to buy this website for no money.

That's right. It doesn't try to say that everything magically popped into existence like the Big Bang does. It doesn't try to stipulate that there was a "beginning to time" (yes I know that's paradoxical, but you know what I mean). It says things didn't explode outward, but are collapsing inward, which is proven by gravity. There's nothing "magical" in it, that contradicts known science. However the Big Bang Theory is entirely 100% "magical", and contradicts every law of physics that exists!
I don't. I did find a publication from the Swedish government about this: https://www.government.se/articles/2017/02/facts-about-migra...

They say people with 2-foreign born parents are overrepresented in the statistics of crime suspects. Does that translate to guilty of crimes? Maybe, but I would place money that racism and discrimination especially in more homogenous societies plays a part. People generally are averse to change and it's understandable that they feel loss and apprehension when they see their society under transformation, especially by people who look different than them, dress differently, speak a different language and eat different foods. But immigration can be a gain in other ways.

That whole song and dance about protection from an untrusted cloud operator sounds like a red herring to me. CSPs are the ones to deploy the technology. I suspect their main desire is to (a) avoid the hassle of law enforcement requests, as one cannot grant access to keys one does not have and (b) allay would-be customer concerns around cloud hosting versus on-prem deployments. Maybe (c) is to support compliance and regulatory checkboxes. TEEs are not about security, rather about security liability. Academic attacks are indeed just that, and not necessarily expected to be seen in the wild or affect security posture.

Uh, yeah, and in fact, the judge found likelihood of success on the tortuious interference claim which basically never happens, and so didn't bother to deal with the unfair competition part.

That's remarkably bad for Automattic - tortuious interference is often a throwaway claim.

> It used to be that you could pick an open source project and build a business on it and expect that the project would stay available to you under those well understood terms.

By "used to be" you mean for a brief period in the 2000s, right? Because this extremely generous open source landscape we have seen in the past 20 years were not the normal state of software for most of software's existence.

A generous open source landscape is something we -- you, I, the readers of HN -- have to actively maintain by shouldering the burden of maintaining the correctly licenced software. We cannot trust this important job to profit-making corporations.

Did you read the LA times? They were in full damage control mode. I wonder who sponsors them the most nowadays? It's not like the government just funded millions and billions post covid into pharma corporations (to the point where they became the dominant component of government funding and to the point where these corporations began to compete with the MIC for funding) that could just use that money to get journalists to "sweeten up" the blowback to their dangerous and negligent practices.

But that said, I still take the republican biased report with caveats. They were washing up their own vaccine related leveraging as a "success" in it, even though it also contributed to many problems.

Linear algebra is a relatively straight forward subject. I won't say easy because there are bits that aren't, and I struggled with it when I was first exposed to it in college. But in graduate school revisited it and didn't have a problem.

So, I really agree that it's about timing and curriculum. For one, it appears somewhat abstract until you really understand geometrically what's happening.

So, I surmise that most non-mathematicians don't have quite the mathematical maturity to absorb the standard pedagogy when they first approach the subject.
