Yes. If only something like a journalist can shed light on this and prompt such investigation.

...of course, this is a story in China, so we know none of their government will push on this.

>The risk of being exposed for lying in court and faking telemetry data does not seem like it would be remotely worth it to win this lawsuit for Tesla.

It would not... so that's exactly what Elon would do. Especiallg if he feels cozy with Chinese leaders.
I had always heard this explanation (back to when the poster was new and we all wanted one). And in the back of my mind I have always thought I'd been told the "BSD founder" of the story was Kirk McKusick. But I cannot for the life of me google (well...Kagi) up who the real culprit was. Does anyone know authoritatively?
Have been wanting something like this for a long time. Tried an OBD-II reader from Sparkfun but it was sort of flakey ( no knock on Sparkfun, I did not really pursuer the trouble). any one use one of these?
I recently built a semantic batching function for my RAG system [wdoc](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/wdoc/) that might be interesting to others. The system splits a corpus into chunks, finds relevant ones via embeddings, and answers questions for each chunk in parallel before aggregating the answers.

To optimize performance and reduce LLM distraction, instead of aggregating answers two by two, it does batched aggregation. The key innovation is in the batching order - I implemented a [semantic_batching function](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/wdoc/blob/18bc52128f...) that uses hierarchical clustering on the embeddings and orders texts by leaf order.

The implementation was straightforward, runs very fast and produces great results. The function is designed to be usable as a standalone tool for others to experiment with.
I’m similar but have three main editors:

Vim for super quick changes (I’d like to increase my proficiency with vim but not really done much to do so).

Vscode for light text editing : coding which doesn’t require me to dig in to debug for a major length of time.

Jetbrains IDE for real work / tinkering were I may need to debug / leverage breakpoints / have good autocomplete.

There was a little drama that played out as Java was getting a proper JIT.

In one major release, there was a bunch of Java code responsible for handling some UI element activities. It was found to be a bottleneck, and rewritten in C code for the next major release.

Then the JIT became properly useful, and the FFI overhead was more than the difference between the hand-tuned C code and what the JIT would spit out on its own. So in the next major release, they rolled back to the all-Java implementation.

Java had a fairly reasonably fast FFI for that generation of programming language, but they swapped for a better one a few releases after that. And by then I wasn't doing a lot of Java UI code so I had stopped paying attention. But around the same time they were also making a cleaner interface between the platform-specific and the general Java code for UI, so I'm not entirely sure how that played out.

But that's exactly the sort of see-sawing you need to at least keep an eye out for when doing this sort of work. Would you be better off waiting a couple milestones and saving yourself a bunch of hand-tuning work, or do you need it right now for political or technical reasons?

I mean Amazon has been a shitty place to work forever. I had a friend who worked there as an L6 in the finance department at Amazon retail for 4 years until 2019 and I worked there for 3.5 years (Professional Services) until 2023. The difference was that I wasn’t the dumb old lady who didn’t know what to expect from the snake (https://youtu.be/ngu6e7AAhtA?si=YIuNrKK1ywypApIg).

I worked remotely, made my money, waited for the “try to work through the PIP or take this 3.5 months pay severance”, took the money and had a job three weeks later with AWS on my resume.

> Commodity cars are a dying breed.

Not in Asia, the worlds biggest car market, and where the worlds biggest car making country is. More than anything, low end electric cars are MASSIVELY popular in China.
Prime example: we leased 3 Nissans in a row (dipping our toes in with an Altima and then 2 Rogues in a row), so 9 years worth, but prior to the last turn-in, they released a new Rogue that was smaller on the inside (but I believe may have been slightly larger on the outside), sapped the power out of the base engine (our Rogues had some pep in their step), and as the final nail in the coffin, raised prices by 15% or so and lowered the lease residuals- the net effect was a worse automobile with a ~30% higher monthly payment.

Going from under $350/mo to over $500/mo on a 36-month low mileage lease made what had been an easy decision one way (just get another Rogue) into an easy decision the other way (get a different vehicle from a different manufacturer).

When you venture into the pricing tiers of higher-quality automobiles, you need to be equipped to play in that market. Nissan wasn't, at least in our situation, and it cost them a loyal customer.

> But the discussion here is about whether to introduce a new clearer style. Taken on this context, your comment amounts to defending any existing syntax, no matter how horrific, because you'll get used to it eventually.

No, I'm not defending any existing syntax.

As I said, it is about minimizing errors. You can get used to anything. But some styles and syntaxes are more error-prone than others. Leading commas in SQL is less error-prone, and therefore is preferred. No matter what your initial aesthetic impression. Allowing extra trailing commas is not portable, and therefore will increase errors if you come to rely on it then move between databases. So if the feature is provided, I will still be slow to adopt it into my style.

Where exactly does it state the independence of these two variables in the problem definition in the source material?
well yea, that's the issue. It's a cultural issue and I assume China's culture isn't as consumer-friendly. Even the US has some states with data request mandates. If I request my data, they must deliver it within 60 days of the request. Tesla would have to "just do it" lest lawsuits occur over that.

I can recommend the book "The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Keeping Your Sh*t Together". It's for solo entrepreneurs and doesn't want to sell you success or make you strive for even more, it assumes you already have success but need mental models to deal with it.

Also what others already said: start hiring. You don't need a cofounder, try a consultant for a fixed contract with fixed payment (no revenue share or such).

Where's the github/source link? Anyway this sounds really cool, but it's nothing that new for anyone that has done FP for a while. I've been trying to get companies to do something like this for a while but it's just really hard to convince an org to make their product into something that requires the learning curve of high-level FP, but ever since I learned FP I realized that it has the power to abstract in such a way that you can build a powerful engine that can be reused in many different ways. That said, I'm a bit skeptical on the performance, as it is the one downside of FP.
But we already know.

I think people arguing about AI being good versus bad are wasting their breath. Both sides are equally right.

History tells us the industrial revolution both revolutionized humanity’s relative quality of life while also ruining a lot of people’s livelihood in one fell swoop. We also know there was nothing we could do to stop it.

What advice can we can take from it? I don’t know. Life both rocks and sucks at the same time. You kind of just take things day by day and do your best to adapt for both yourself and everyone around you.
Well I am studying mathematics, and I use the LLM to help me learn.

They aren't terrible, and they have all of arXiv to train on. Terrence Tao is doing some cool stuff with it - the idea will be an LLM to generate Lean proofs.

This is not really because parking lots are not legalized (they are, and in fact are often required) but because structured parking is so expensive to build; $25-35k per space in an above ground garage and $35-50k per space underground. https://dcplm.com/blog/cost-of-building-a-parking-garage/

The only place I'm aware of that bans new parking garages in the US is Manhattan, which has a general parking cap; but providing enough spaces for the actual car travel demand to Manhattan would necessitate leveling the whole island and then some, so the policy is there to get people to stop driving to a narrow, congested island.

COVID. People start working from home or otherwise spending more time on computers instead of going outside, so they buy higher-end computers. Lockdowns end, people start picking the lower-end models again. On multi-threaded tasks, the difference between more and fewer cores is larger than the incremental improvements in per-thread performance over a couple years, so replacing older high core count CPUs with newer lower core count CPUs slightly lowers the average.
And I can assure you when I start to talk about these topics with the average human person that doesn't know the material, they just laugh at me. Even my wife who has a PhD in physics.

Here is a snapshot from the first ever server in the observable universe running Hardened Exherbo, https://0x0.st/8Z3h.png, which displays a very interesting and afaik novel usecase of notify action. if you read seccomp-unotify(2) and linux kernel docs it'll go telling you about how to run "higher privileges" in the handler process (such as mount, finit_module fancy for containers), however here we do _exactly_ the opposite (because why not), as you may easily observe the threads "syd_emu" running the syscalls are running as nginx user, however the "nginx master process" which is sandboxed by syd is still running as root (it spawns new workers who change uid, dont ask me why), so e.g. if you compromise the nginx master and run a syscall, it'll run as nginx user in a syd_emu thread anyhow. this we call SafeSetID (like that of linux kernel), i plan to do more in the future, imagine syd_emu threads are processes that're fork+execed with different address spaces with the sandbox policy shared behind a memfd that's sealed for write on sandbox getting locked.

Finally, this nginx serves https://hexsys.org atm from which you'll hopefully and eventually download iso's one day ;) So far I have sydboxed dhcp, rsyslog and ntpd, stay tuned!
IMHO (and I don't expect most people to agree but please be tolerant of my opinion!) annotations are annoying busywork that clutter my code and exist just to make people feel smart for “““doing correctness”””. The only check I find useful is nil or not-nil, and any halfway-well-designed interface should make it impossible for some unexpected object type to end up in the wrong place anyway. For anything less than halfway-well-defined, you have bigger issues than a lack of type annotation.

edit: I am quite fond of `case ::Ractor::receive; when SomeClass then …; when SomeOtherClass then …; end` as the main pattern for my Ractors though :)

I think tenderworks wrote this post.
When I worked at AWS as a support engineer I was unfortunately dumped into the containers team (EKS, ECS, Fargate, etc) despite being a "greybeard" in background.

A customer wrote in trying to figure out why his Fargate application kept crashing. The app would hit 100% CPU usage and then eventually start failing health checks before getting bounced (rebooted)

I relayed this back to the customer who insisted the app shouldn't be spiking in CPU usage and wanted to know why. Of course being a Fargate workload there's minimal ways to attach debugging to it. You can't just spawn htop on Fargate!

Doing due diligence I fired off an email to the team that managed the infrastructure. They curtly replied

"it failed healthchecks and got bounced"

"Okay but why"

"It hit 100% CPU"

"Okay but why?"

"It failed healthchecks and got bounced"

At no point were they either willing to interrogate or even consider the lower layers of the stack. The very existence of everything below the containerized app was seemingly irrelevant to them.

After going back and forth about this for nearly a month and a half with the customer I asked my boss to add me to the "Linux" support Slack channel. Reasoning that there's got to be other greybeards in there who (frankly) knew what they were doing better than these kids.

After writing a multi-paragraph explanation of all my findings along with the customer, moments before I hit SEND I got an email

The customers app was not releasing threads properly and causing the system to reach thread exhaustion and begin context switching, a CPU intensive process that eventually would take so long that the health check probes would breach timeout and say the app was down and restart it

Saying that "Linux knowledge is unnecessary" is to put it bluntly, ignorant to the point of clownishness. Having a holistic understanding of how a system operates is invaluable

> Unfortunately, nobody follows through with its sanctions, so it's devolved into a glorified opinion-providing body.

That's a little misleading. What actually happened is summarized here:

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

Since 2019, when the Donald Trump administration blocked appointments to the body, the Appellate Body has been unable to enforce WTO rules and punish violators of WTO rules. Subsequently, disregard for trade rules has increased, leading to more trade protectionist measures. The Joe Biden administration has maintained Trump's freeze on new appointments.

I think this is relevant because of the banking and coin discussions. There are remarkably few authorization protections on bank accounts.

The US has, for 300 years. I'm sure countries within the EU have an even longer history of that.

No, they already proved their needs. The onus is on the new plantiffs to disprove the needs. No one's done that so far.
I agree. (Nitric acid is somewhat toxic as well aside from its corrosivity; accidental fatal poisonings with neutralized nitrates are well known in the literature.)

Essential oils are generally not at high risk of deadly impurities, for three reasons. First, they are mostly intended for human consumption (whether BP grade or not), except for turpentine; second, their production process is just steam distillation and so doesn't normally involve any highly-toxic impurities; third, because the essential oils themselves are sufficiently deadly that most potential impurities would have to be present at very high levels before they were a concern.

> Is that such a foregone conclusion, though? Many technologies have had phases where customers eagerly embrace every improvement in some parameter—until a saturation point is reached and improvements are ultimately met with a collective shrug.

> Consider a very brief history of airspeed in commercial air travel. Passenger aircraft today fly at around 900 kilometers per hour—and have continued to traverse the skies at the same airspeed range for the past five decades. Although supersonic passenger aircraft found a niche from the 1970s through the early 2000s with the Concorde, commercial supersonic transport is no longer available for the mainstream consumer marketplace today.

OK, "Bad Analogy Award of the Year" for that one. Traveling at supersonic speeds had some fundamental problems, primarily being that the energy required to travel at those speeds is so much more than for subsonic aircraft, and thus the price was much higher for supersonic travel, and the problem of sonic booms meant they were forbidden to travel over land. When the Concorde was in service, London to NYC flights were 10-20x more expensive on the Concorde compared to economy class on a conventional jet, meaning the ~4 hours saved flight time was only worth it for the richest (and folks just seeking the novelty of it). There are plenty of people that would still LOVE to fly the Concorde if the price were much cheaper.

That is, the fundamental variable cost of supersonic travel is much higher than for conventional jets (though that may be changing - I saw that pg posted recently that Boom has found a way to get rid of the sonic boom reaching the ground over land), while that's not true for next gen mobile tech, where it's primarily just the upfront investment cost that needs to be recouped.
