I don't know Django specifically but I'm always floored by how people talk about ORMs. They're only a leaky abstraction if you believe their point is to shield terrified junior devs of the inner workings of the scary relational database. That's an awful way to use ORMs, and the source of most of the flak they get. To be fair, some are designed that way, or at least strongly push you toward it.

Stop thinking of ORMs as trying to hide the details of SQL and you'll stop hating them. Instead think of them as a way to compose SQL dynamically, with the full power of your language. SQL is an awful language to write application logic in, because it has horrible support for abstraction, composition, encapsulation, dependency injection, etc. The ORM gives you a way to produce SQL in an environment that actually supports basic software engineering principles. Scattering ORM logic everywhere in the codebase is the point: putting all your SQL in one data access layer is like putting all your arithmetic in one calculation layer. Why would you ever do that? What's wrong with seeing a plus sign in more than one file? What's wrong with seeing language-encoded relational logic in more than one file?

I can guarantee you the popularity is not "aesthetic". And convenience is a real thing that actually does reduce costs. People complain about ORMs, but have you seen the absolute horse-shit-level code that people jam into SQL functions and procedures to do the utterly most basic things? The standard for what ends up in SQL Stored procedures is the most unmaintainable garbage in the entire software engineering ecosystem.

Nice descriptive article. I've done this on purpose too to debug
remote filesystem syncs and cryptography problems where machines are
out of sync. My GPS wall clock is handy for adjusting NTP, but the
time it takes to scan my eyes from the wall back to the monitor.. you
really do need two stacked like she did. So I now figured to use
transparrent terminals each logged into a different host and lay them
over one another running "watch -n1 date".

Would have been nice to have some more network, code and command line
examples. You need to set up a local ntpd and need to point your
local master at that temporarily. A better utility to write would be
"timediff -s1 -s2" that takes two time servers and shows the offset. I
bet there's a way to do that in one line. Anyone?

Almost no one thinks about the modern miracle that are grocery stores. It wasn't that long ago that getting out-of-season produce was literally impossible.

Today, you just put up with inferior tomatoes in the winter and be annoyed about it.

The logistical complications of worldwide produce supply chains and your local supermarkets are really, really nuts.
Been using it for a year or two, but recently I've been making heavy use of LLM results using the ? character. I actually discovered this by accident while searching. Even though I have a ChatGPT subscription, the Kagi interface is faster to use for simple questions and I have web results underneath as a backup if the LLM answer isn't good enough. I agree with another poster that being able to test ultimate would be nice before I shell out more money.
I'm not saying it was happening here, I'm just taking this anecdote as food for thought. I'm appalled to learn that those vehicles don't have an emergency stop system. A real emergency stop. Not some remote-controlled or AI-assisted stuff. A low-tech, last-chance emergency stop, like the one you have in trains or on any industrial machine.

> You've never been in a Uber that took a wrong turn? Never argued with a cab driver about a route?

If a cab driver keeps cricling on a parking lot, again and again and again, never finding the obvious exit, I'll get a bit concerned and eventually tell him "OK, never mind, I'll find another way, just drop me there". If he refuses to let me off, and locks the doors, and keeps circling, I'll be extremely anxious. This is horror movie material.

Ah, the benefit of having a Chinese CEO, they tend to want less public attention to themselves. "Man don't want to be famous, like pig don't want to grow big" as people say.

That, plus the fact BYD's founder/CEO (same guy) was not as flashy (reads "Unhinged") as Elon Musk.

> You think 40% of businesses are going to disappear in the next 3 years? That seems unlikely. I assume you're being sarcastic.

Not necessarily. When you look at the lifecycle of a company, the numbers are quite harsh[0]:

> 23.2% of private sector businesses in the U.S. fail within the first year. After five years, 48.0% have faltered. After 10 years, 65.3% of businesses have closed.

So the parent's figure is exaggerated but not by a large margin.

Stop thinking of ORMs as trying to hide the details of SQL and you'll stop hating them. Instead think of them as a way to compose relational queries dynamically, with the full power of your primary language, instead of inside of database stored procedures in a language totally devoid of any support for basic software engineering best practices. They shouldn't be hiding SQL from your primary language, they should be exposing the relational model to it! SQL is not the only possible implementation of the relational model, and it's not even a particularly good one. Even SQL's founders don't think it implements EF Codd's relational model very faithfully. Good ORMs act as a domain-specific language for the relational model embedded inside the parent language.
It’s a little odd to me how much media attention these shows are getting, yet how little debt, more specifically usurious interest rates that lead to inescapable debt, as a general factor of modern life is discussed.

I suppose most of the contestants in the shows are in debt because of gambling or overtly irresponsible decisions, but it would be more interesting IMO if the contestants were in debt from student loans, credit cards with 25% interest rates, medical debt, and so on. But I guess a show making that particular social critique isn’t going to get funded by a major studio or tech company.

Thank you for your feedback.
I will make the highlighting more obvious, that's easy.

For the questions, maybe I should show supporting sources when the user gave a wrong answer because that's where the learning happens!

For the specific question: if you start with a liter of petrol then yes, burning that to drive the car strikes me as more efficient, like you said (would need to do the maths). You will only be able to use about 30% of the energy as motion, the rest is released as waste heat.

You don't have to start with petrol though, if you start with energy from hydro/nuclear, the same amount of energy will drive an EV further, this is going back to kJ in fuel and kWh in batteries. Maybe I this is a whole new video.

If I can bounce some ideas off you going forward maybe sign up or email me, thank you for taking the time to help.
Software adaptable suspension is nothing new. All this does is add some camera feedback and software smartness to the mix so it can anticipate obstacles and make real time adjustments to minimize their impact. That software will run fine for as long as the chips last. And technically the whole point here is to reduce shock impact which probably helps reducing the amount of wear and tear on the parts.

It does look cool though and probably having a lot of cars jumping over things on the highway would not end well. But it is neat technology.
LOL about the last paragraphs:

> Let’s Continue a Noble Tradition!

> The billionaire founders of both Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin had faith in the systems they had created. They both personally flew on the first operational flights of their sub-orbital launch systems. They went way beyond simply talking about how great their technology was, they believed in it, and flew in it.

> Let’s hope this tradition continues. Let’s hope the billionaire founder/CEO of SpaceX will be onboard the first crewed flight of Starship to Mars, and that it happens sooner than I expect. We can all cheer for that.
He hasn’t changed at all. He pulled the exact same bullshit with opposing efforts to waive intellectual property rights for vaccines during the pandemic, using Gates Foundation money and influence to block anyone who attempted. If anything, he’s even more of a monster, now playing his malevolent games in the domain of global public health.
Nonsense. If you spoke about self-driving cars a few decades ago you would have understood it to have meant that you could go to a dealer and buy a car that would drive itself, wherever you might be, without your input as a driver.

No-one would have equated the phrase "we'll have self-driving cars" with "some taxis in a few of US cities"
You can buy a LG compatible remote on Amazon for $ 10-20 with a pause button that will most certainly work. The codes are still being interpreted, just that they removed or repurposed the physical button on the remote. My kid destroy LG remotes on a yearly basis and I have purchased the cheap one (non magic wand or whatever they call the Wii like experience). It does what I need it to do. Change the brightness, input, channel and volume as well as HDMI-Arc play pause.
I agree - programming is it's own medium for creation - not just a tool to produce other media.

There's "inspired by" media with similar concepts, then there's straight up copying it and not even bothering to change the content. Star Wars is inspired by westerns but adds its own flavor. Squid Game straight up copies Kaiji to the point that the only real difference is the language.
By '73? My understanding is the only other country outside the US to have a connection at that point was Norway, and only NORSAR and maybe one other location. NORSAR only because it was a critically important seismic array used by NATO to monitor Soviet missile tests.

As far as I can tell, Finland first got ARPANET connection via NORDunet in 1988 [1][2][3], though possibly indirectly a few years before as there was a connection to Sweden a few years earlier.

[3] From [2]: "On Thursday December 1st, 1988, the first routing test was carried out, allowing IP packets to pass from Finland via Nordunet to the USA, in effect the National Science Foundation’s NSFNET and Arpanet networks. This connected Finland to the international Internet via the Funet network. The following message can be seen as the beginning of the Finnish Internet."

Agreed. I made a search for "big black sea bird with a name that starts with c" today, and the quick summary helped in a few seconds that Cormorant was the category I was trying to remember.

Social interaction is a back-and-forth game and you need to follow the rhythm of it in order not to cut in mid-sentence and also allow others to continue the discourse.

You can't expect others to want to hear your monologues about travel, they will cut you off to progress the conversation.

Instead of trying to hijack the other person's travel comment, confirm them like "Oh yea, I liked that place too!" in piece-meal fashion. People dislike when they notice you are trying shift the focus like you described.

Small speeches is boring, unless you have interesting stuff to share. You also being on a trip to the same place is not very exciting.

Be curious about the others and pay attention.

Follow up on stuff later, like "how did it go at the dentist?". People like when you remember things about their life.

I've never seen as many potholes as when I visited Canada FWIW. I'm a Kiwi and I've driven all over AU/EU/UK (Little bit of US, but only really CA and Maine).

I didn't drive in China, but I've been driven multiple times and the highways and main roads seemed solid.

> Humans eat other humans as well. I still think human meat shouldn't be labeled as food.

No they don’t.

If eating human flesh was an actual tendency in a society civilised enough to discuss food labelling rules, that would be a legitimate comparison and a real concern.

But as it stands, (cow’s) milk gets produced in the millions of gallons, and human meat you still have to find on Craigslist or on the streets of San Francisco.

> I find "soy milk" or "soy-based milk alternative" much clearer

Ironically, it is “milk” (in the texture sense) by definition of not being very clear.

> I don't know how much of the world would find "plant-based drinks" more clear than "plant-based milk alternatives"

Only by assuming a similarity with dairy that is not nutritionally justified.

> Or are there actual regulations requiring "X drink" to be what I think of as "X milk"?

Yes, read my original post. I linked to a 2018 decision by the EU court that forbade this.
> The scenario that I’m worried about, and that is playing out right now, is that they get good enough that we (or our leaders) become overconfident in their abilities and start integrating them into applications that they just aren’t ready for without a proper understanding of their limitations.

Very true.
To apply this benchmark, you'd have to believe that Waymo is paying operators to improve the quality of the ride, not to make the ride possible at all. That is, you'd have to believe that the fully autonomous car works and gets you to your destination safely and in a timely manner (at the level of a median professional human driver), but Waymo decided that's not good enough and hired operators to improve beyond that. This seems very unlikely to me, and some of the (few) examples I've seen online were about correcting significant failures, such as waiting behind a parked truck indefinitely (as if it were stopped at a red light) or looping around aimlessly in a parking lot.

You'd also have to believe that when you wished to change how your Uber driver drove, you'd actually have improved things rather than worsened them.

All that verbiage about robotaxis and not a single mention about China, which by all accounts is well ahead of the US in deploying them out on the road. (With a distinctly mixed track record, it must be said, but still.)

I don't have an issue as such, I was a fairly experienced developer first time I had to dabble with SQL, but sometimes it can still surprise.

For example I learned the hard way that the DB we use at work does not index NULL values.

And once in a while if I'm tired or stressed I might forget about UNKNOWN and thus that "Col <> 42" does not return rows where Col is NULL.

Not that better naming would prevent such surprises, but I still think the current naming is less than optimal from a pedagogical perspective. At least I see this at times when teaching our support folks SQL (many have domain background and not a technical background).
This is the correct way of thinking about things. Null is one of the hardest things for traditional software engineers in my experience as a guy who came up as a data admin.
It's been at least 20 years since companies stopped listening to software developers. Now we have product owners, scrum masters, bussiness analysts, delivery managers.
The graph seems to be alright, there are indeed red and (some) green pixels, looks like an issue with your extension unfortunately.
> It's really strange to me how calls for banning "misinformation" in the US seem to come from the same political direction as complaints about controversial books being taken out of educational curricula.

I'm not in (or from) the US, I'm european and probably "more used to" regulation :). Thing is, banning misinformation isn't the solution, but the artificial algorithm should stop recommending accounts that keep feeding fake news to people, since community notes take a while to appear.

Or some indicator like "this account's posts has received a lot of community notes in the last 30 days, please take what this tweet says with a grain of salt". Young people keep getting feed far-right bullshit, which is the reason a party like Se Acabó La Fiesta (Alvise Perez) got to the European parliament in the first place, because he kept posting fake stuff, and until the justice ruled otherwise, people would just believe it. Because unfortunately, many people aren't able to "do their thinking" because of confirmation bias. "They say what I want to hear, so it must be true".

The graphs are very easy to read, albeit depend on your ability to distinguish between red and green.

fwiw I have a bunch of M720q's in the lab right now and these also idle at 6-8 W depending on what exactly they're doing (driving display(s) / headless / network). Except these are full-on Skylake-era desktop platforms, complete with a socketed desktop CPU and RAM and a separate chipset.
I just wonder - don't these current billionaries see how their actions literally shape the world to be a worse place to live in? I believe Gates, in spite all the hate towards him, actually has this kind of conscience and good intention of wondering, "How could I actually help the world in an optimal way?" and choosing his way (saving lives through vaccines; whether these are happy lives or not it's another question).

But seeing that your businesses make the world worse and not doing anything seems completely short sighted. These folks have children, too - what kind of world they want to leave them?
Fwiw (not color-blind) I can see red, green and black pixels. The graph doesn't look weird to the naked eye.

Find the interactive visualiser by scrolling down, and switch it to "Files in Anna's Archive [md5]". This will highlight the location of the green pixels in grey.
That's amazing! It goes beyond my understanding of PDFs.
This is not about crashes. By all accounts, the Waymo cars are mostly fully self driving, I beleive even the article author agrees with that. This includes crash avoidance, to the extent that they can.

The remote operation seems to be more about navigational issues and reading the road conditions. Things like accidentally looping, or not knowing how to proceed with an unexpected obstacle. Things that don't really happen to human drivers, even the greenest of new drivers.
I'd be impressed if it managed to jump the speed bumps in school areas. Those are like what, 7 cm to 10 cm in elevation over a long distance?
Not quite. It's about 3x. It also depends on whether you're talking fixed wing or rotary wings.

A modern car might easily have 130 kW or more, and that's what a Cessna 172 has (around 180 hp). (Sure, a plane cruises at the higher end of that, while a car only uses that much to accelerate and cruises at the lower end of the range - still not a factor of 10x.)

As another datapoint, a Diamond DA40 does around 28 miles per gallon (< 9 litres per 100 km) at 60% power cruise.

'Right thing at all costs': Bay Area app thrives amid Palisades, Eaton Fires
I was thinking about this. I think we have an overcorrection right now. People get laid off because of expected performance of AI, not real performance. With copywriting and software development we have three options:

1. leaders notice they were wrong, start to increase human headcount again
2. human work is seen as boutique and premium, used for marketing and market placement
3. we just accept the sub-par quality of AI and go with it (quite likely with copywriting I guess)

I'd like to compare it with cinema and Netflix. There was a time where lost of stuff was mindless shit, but there was still place for A24 and it took the world by storm. What's gonna happen? No one knows.

But anyway, I figure that 90% of "laid off because of AI" is just regular lay-offs with a nice sounding reason. You don't loose anything by saying that and only gain in stakeholder trust.

That's why I'm surprised - that flag doesn't mean we don't spawn worker threads for the driver, just that user API calls only come from a single thread.

I suspect this is someone assuming the flag actually mean "the driver should only use one thread" - or more likely a popular app assumed that and relied on that behavior, and the driver ended up having to emulate that behavior and you app just happened to hit whatever heuristics enabled that option.

It feels like half the driver size is due to nonsense "workarounds" like that - like the recent Fallout3/New Vegas issue was due to the app trying to autodetect the driver and versions and doing something slightly different (which hasn't really been "valid" since soon after release) - so when a version number or driver ID changes a little too much for it to cope with it completely fails - so we added an entire new "fake" driver that just lies about it's name and version.

It's honestly a PITA and something I've hit on different vendor's driver in my own projects - you can rename the executable and get completely different behavior.

It's probably not surprising that GPU drivers are hundreds of megabytes in size, even compressed :P
