Well, not that I like the mentality but it's a hardline one.

By not voting for Harris and making her lose it means next cycle people have to care about your opinion to get elected. It's the opposite of when Progressives don't like a Democrat's proposal but still vote for it; it means the Democrats don't have to negotiate with them because they're getting the vote anyways.
It's sort of fascinating how much mileage people can squeeze out of MS-DOS. A part of me always wonders about the "What If" world where GUIs never caught on, and how different the world might be today.
Or foreign intelligence.
the arguments from folks on the "architecture review boards" was that multiple connections are always bad and that developers can't be trusted. i'm willing to accept that they did get beat up quite a bit over power at various points when at times applications were a big part of the problem. That said this is also a gross misunderstanding of the problem and overall solution space, as well as very much gatekeeping.
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of places where NVIDIA kit is used outside of "graphics cards and slop generators". I work on a drone system based around the Orin AGX and we definitely have "leverage the root of trust functionality to lock down the code that can run on the Orin" on the roadmap before we ever let the hardware end up directly in customers' hands. Root of trust -> Signed Bootloader -> Signed Kernel -> Signed Binaries. There's too much IP that we've spent too much money on to risk having end-users getting access to the raw TensorRT models involved.
I don't own a car and was looking at options recently. Tesla just doesn't seem that great, and I'm wouldn't say I'm particularly adverse to buying one due to Elon.

- IMO Tesla's minimal M3 interior aesthetic at first was cool because it was different, but really is just quite boring. It looks like necessary cost-saving from a time where EVs were more expensive to manufacture that just never went away.

- Chinese cars look great. I took an Uber ride in a BYD in Mexico City; it was very good. The ride was smooth and the interior was very futuristic. They're apparently cheaper too. They're an option for me because I don't live in the USA.

- It doesn't sit well with me that Tesla has promised so many things it hasn't (and probably will never) deliver. I'm not buying a Tesla expecting to eventually have a robotaxi, or even expecting it to eventually drive itself, but it's still just sketchy that they promise so much on such ambitious (at first) timelines and then just don't deliver.

- Tesla doesn't win on price. There are cheaper options. I feel like I'd be paying for "the brand", but I'm not a "for the brand" buyer.

- The stuff Tesla seems to be better than others at —the speed, the acceleration, or even the autopilot— are not things I personally consider I need. They're cool party tricks. My friends who have Teslas have shown us the acceleration punch, autopilot in the highway, etc. Autopilot almost drove us into another car once, so definitely not paying $8,000 for that. The 0-60 I know I'd barely use, the top speed it's fair to say never, and I wouldn't miss them much as a nicer interior or whatever else I can buy me with what I'd save if I opt for a cheaper option.

I still can get by without a car, so I'd rather wait a year or two to see how the EV market develops. Looking at the options available right now it's just not looking great for Tesla, and outside of the USA and Europe, I'm not even sure it has that much to do with Elon's antics.
but are you sure if those standards of living are because of striving economy and hardworking people or because of military adventures?
Was the offer binding?
Oh now you want laws
Sir, M3 means something else in the car world
In the China market, Tesla sold the most BEV's in 2024 (1.79 million units), versus BYD which sold 1.76 million units. It's possible, though, that BYD will dominate in 2025; we'll see. I'm not sure what "advanced" means in this context, but Tesla's manufacturing tech is among the most advanced, even if their vehicles are lacking in some features.
For me, Tesla is a negative brand for one reason: trust.

Trust in the quality of the product: The car quality is spotty. A coworker bought an early Model 3. It didn’t even make it 1 night before the main electrical harness shorted and the car failed to power on in the morning. the panel alignment is a notorious issue.

Trust that the company won’t assassinate you in the court of public opinion. Tesla has 2 types of responses when a Tesla car has a high profile crash: quiet and VERY VOCAL about it being the driver’s fault (because they send data to their servers even though I ostensibly own the car). I don’t want my car manufacturer snitching me out to my insurance company, no matter who is at fault.

Options for service: Teslas are not cheap to service (I understand why) and (my information is quite dated), but 3rd party repairs are quite limited or non-existent. I have no option but to trust the manufacturer. There is a lack of competition in repairs/service, so costs are high and wait times are too.

The situation with Musk + Gigafactory Nevada security team framing a worker (IIRC their stance was that he was a leaker and was stealing corporate secrets) and then pressuring the local police to arrest him was suspect. But when the deputies found the man, they found no reason to arrest him.

The extraordinary crash test ratings that “were so high they broken the rating system”, but were later revised much lower were suspect.

The incident where the GigaFactory was found to be improperly disposing of factory byproducts such that they are/could leech into the surrounding environment was ironic for a company that markets itself as “green”.

The dickhead in charge. I get that he’s only a small part of the company, but he’s still a lying (or very reality-challenged) shitposter who moonlights as CEO of a few large companies. Incidents like “Pedo guy”, the Pelosi attacker conspiracy theory, him pumping shitcoins, lying about earning top rankings in 2 popular video games, now deleting federal departments like the same Dept of Energy that invests in innovative companies like Tesla and that does national security work like nuclear inspections. Link to the RationalWiki to remind us about all of the other incidents: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Elon_Musk

I don’t know when I soured on the company, but I know I had a neutral-to-positive view in 2016. Maybe Musk was still on his meds. Maybe all of these issues existed, but I was blissfully unaware.
This is insane. "Technological change" isn't a hurricane or a tornado, it's the product of a bunch of individual choices we all make. Your attempt to dissociate it from the people causing it is noted, but rejected.

People like YOU are pushing this crap on us, and people like Sam Altman, and every other Johnny-come-lately CEO who thinks that the only thing missing from my fucking spreadsheet is some lie generator that also conveniently siphons up all of my data. This is entirely a choice that they and you are making, and they and you could easily stop.

This level of patronizing is exactly why people hate AI, and technology in general. This, right here. Take your smarmy little attitude and shove it up your AI.

He paid Godinet 20,000 dollars but all he received was 2 sets. So basically Godinet scammed him instead of becoming a manufacturing partner.

Genuine question: is this actually useful without a cartridge slot?

I thought that the MSX kind of depended on cartridges.
The purpose of the commercial is to make the patient aware of the drug so they ask a doctor about it, instead of e.g. having given up on finding any treatment for the condition because there hadn't been one when they asked a doctor about it five years ago. This can result in people getting treatment for something they wouldn't otherwise have been aware was available.

It could also result in people buying stuff they don't need, but then their doctor should be advising them that they don't need it, right?

How can someone be around since 2007 and act like this ?
I'm curious what's wrong with the self-driving, assuming you're referring to FSD and not Autopilot. Is there a different make of EV that has better self-driving capabilities? Genuinely would like to know.
I’ve never liked that term “sub-symbolic”. It implies that there is something at a deeper level than what a Turing machine can compute (i.e., via the manipulation of strings of symbols), and as far as we can tell, there’s no evidence for that. It might be true, but even a quantum computer can be simulated on a classical computer. And of course neural networks run on classic computers too.

Yeah, I know that’s not what “symbol” is really referring to here in this context but I just don’t like what the semantics of the word suggests about neural networks — that they are somehow a halting oracle or hypercomputation — which they’re obviously not.
> Some people don't have the mental to let a car drive itself, they want it to drive exactly like they do

Not the problem. Like I said, it's getting into the wrong lane and then cutting off people when it realizes it's not where it should be.

That's not a "It's not driving how I would" problem. That's a "It's creating a dangerous situation because of poor mapping data/bad route decisions" problem.

I typically drive with FSD on, but I'm quick to disengage because it's really not uncommon that the system will try and put me in an obviously bad situation.
I like to ask rather than assume. One answer is maybe you think the money will be used to do evil.

I don’t really think that’s true. We know tesla is a large company and most of that money will be going to employees and a small percentage to shareholders (this board contains many).

So what I suspect they mean is they are concerned about their personal image which is why the “stench” imagery was used.
Are we really at the point where we are concerned how abstraction levels are not being abandoned as quickly as they were yesterday?
That’s why I wrote including Ukrainians, that obviously means other nations too would suffer.

Australia is about the same except around the ceiling we call it a cornice.
Does it, though? The saying says we shouldn't mistake incompetence for malice, but that requires more than usual for Musk's retinue.

I kind of wish there was a project-oriented complete desktop environment, where you could enter a project and everything was context-sensitive to it. editor, files, directories, shell, browser, whatever.

sort of a way to work on projects, then put them on old.

and maybe meta-projects to choose, track, arrange, manage some or all projects. maybe by area of responsibility.
No, they are not. I'm not sure who started this whole container is just a process thing, but it's not a good analogy. Quite a lot of things you spin up containers for have multiple processes (databases, web servers, etc).

Containers are inherently difficult to sum up in a sentence. Perhaps the most reasonable comparison is to liken them to a "lightweight" vm, but the reasons people use them are so drastically different than vms at this point. The most common usecase for containers is having a decent toolchain for simple, somewhat reproducible software environments. Containers are mostly a hack to get around the mess we've made in software.
I skimmed the article hoping for a reference to Adams or Dirk Gently.

South Africa has the most people infected with HIV by far. [1] It's a bit crazy to me that it's not listed in their key issues as more than 1 in 10 adults (maybe even 1 in 5) in South Africa have HIV.

HIV-positive gay men are at a higher risk of transmission for obvious reasons [2] and I can think of a lot of good reasons for the US to want to fight infectious diseases in other countries.

I assume the $6.3 million is really $4.3 million here[3], of which $1.9 million was given to 'OUT LGBT WELL-BEING'[4] for 'ENGAGE MEN’S HEALTH: COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES FOR MSM IN SOUTH AFRICA ACTIVITY'.

If you look at the health services they provide in [4] it's testing/screening for HIV, it's HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, etc. In 2021 they had two mobile health teams providing those services to gay men. [5][page 14]

My BMW i4 supports coasting (D-mode) and one-pedal driving (B-mode), one-pedal makes a lot of sense for the city, you get more regen and use brakes less, although you will get better mileage with coasting on the freeway if you aren't in stop and go traffic.

My wife hates when I use one-pedal mode, if you are driving you don't notice it because you are in control, but it is less nice for passengers.
Looking at the react devs in my company, they already live in a world of pain and confusion. So many simple, silly things turn complicated because of it.
And system calls and filesystems and sockets and LVM and...

Sure at some point there are too many layers to count but I wouldn't say any of this is "Kubernetes". What people tend to be hung about is the difficulty of Kubernetes compared to `docker run` or `docker compose up`. That is what I am surprised about.

I never had any issue with kubelet, or kube-proxy, or CSI plugins, or CNI plugins. That is after years of running a multi-tenant cluster in a research institution. I think about those about as much as I think about ext4, runc, or GRUB.
My twins just turned 10 yesterday. But they were born as part of a triplet pregnancy... Life is just brutal, and I don't know if there is any solace in it being so brutal to so many other people. But I hope you're ok.
I think you're right.

I also believe that it's more likely that the font was informed by what was commonly taught as good lettering for technical drawings in that era.

For example, consider the one-stroke gothic lettering in 1883's Standard Lettering, published by the Columbia School of Drafting:

https://archive.org/details/standardletterin00claf/page/42/m...

And here's A TEXT-BOOK OF FREE-HAND LETTERING, part of the TECHNICAL DRAWING SERIES, first published in 1895:

https://archive.org/details/textbookoffreeha00daniiala/page/...

Consider the "single-stroke lettering" suggested in that texbook:

https://archive.org/details/textbookoffreeha00daniiala/page/...

https://archive.org/details/textbookoffreeha00daniiala/page/...

Also consider the model forms for pre-penciled gothic lettering:

https://archive.org/details/textbookoffreeha00daniiala/page/...

It seems that such lettering was already common when the machines were introduced to produce similar lettering.

The way I use LLMs is as a learning tool. Sure, it can get me unstuck when I add some error messages to the context, but I always take the time to have it explain things, e.g. the reference counted memory model of some of the classes in JUCE. I prompt for a personalized tutorial with the specific problem I'm working on as the subject matter.

I'm also a C programmer and Max/MSP user so this syntactical stuff is mainly just different ways of managing the stack and the heap while turning MIDI into sounds!
Combat sports are legitimately greatly improved by VR. Football, futbol, cricket, baseball etc all best watched on TV. I've never enjoyed sitting on the field as much as a few rows above in the stands and VR would replicate that - in the best scenario of VR.
Most computers use modified Harvard architecture, funnily enough. There's a shared memory space like von Neumann, but separated caches for instructions and data.

It's the best of both worlds, because from the CPU's perspective it gets to have separate lanes for instructions and data, but from the programmer's perspective it's one memory.

Without evidence that the Trump administration cares about protecting the tax prep industry, this is just a conspiracy theory.

Heck, the Trump admin wants to get rid of income tax entirely, so they're hardly the natural allies of the tax prep industry.
I have a huge sofa. It comes in sections that you can disconnect and is very easy to move.
Does anyone else see what’s really going on here? Naming a “government agency” after a meme coin? Wearing a hat in the Oval Office while talking over the (literally) sitting president? Elon is attempting to telegraph that he has no respect for the institutions of our country. Why do you think Trump did something as petty as renaming the Gulf of Mexico? It’s a litmus test to see who will follow his most inane power plays. Today, it was put into action when they banned the AP from the Oval Office and AF1 for not bending the knee on this issue. This is far darker than Elon just running amok.
Without sensory data there cannot be actual cognitive ability, though there may be potential for it. The data doesn't have to be visual; bear in mind we have 5 senses. When vision is impaired, hearing becomes far more sensitive to compensate. And theoretically, if someone were to only have use of a single sense, they may still be able to use the data from it to actualize their cognition, but it would take a lot more effort and there would be large gaps in capability. Just as, technically, preprocessed vision* is the primary "sense" of LLMs.

* Preprocessed since the data is actually of 1D streams of characters, and not 2D colour points (as with vision models).

It's been too much hot air for too long.

Tesla started as basically the lone electric luxury car, and it was entering the market claiming that self-driving was coming soon. Which, when combined with SpaceX launching not long after... seemed like it might be the real deal.

But that was 16 years ago. They kept attention for a long time with repeated promises of FSD, and SpaceX definitely kept things interesting by doing increasingly impressive landings with the boosters, which lent a ton of credibility... but...

The competition is here, now. And instead of getting that self-driving that was promised, it basically capped out at a moderately useful cruise control that still requires your attention and input, and they're now admitting they don't have the ability to shove it over the line,

So instead of being a revolutionary vehicle that frees the driver from the monotony of traffic... it has to actually compete as a traditional car, against a litany of decent entrants into the EV space, contesting it on both quality (Audi, BMW, Rivian, Lexus etc) and price (Chevy, Ford, Honda, Citreon, Leap, Fiat, etc).

And compared to those... Tesla just isn't that good. It still not bad (although for the love of god I wish they would stop with the doors that stop working after a crash) but it's just mostly a solid "meh".

So... it's not really clear how Tesla expects to compete at this point. They aren't the best, and they aren't the cheapest, and they're not settling into the legendary utility status of the Prius (where it's not the best or the cheapest, but it's a good, cheap workhorse).

Could have probably coasted for a long time on goodwill, but Musk seems deadset on burning that to the ground on his drug & ego filled rollercoaster in politics and the media. In theory... they should have plenty of ability to compete, so they aren't done... but they need to ditch the ego that produced the recall prone cybertruck, send Musk to rehab (or exile), and make a real luxury car for a competitive price. I'm not sure they have it in em.

My 2 cents. Get a temporary job that is tangentially related to your skill sets. For example, if you are comfortable with python, there are plenty of backend jobs (api, LLM integration etc). Along with recession, people might be just using LLM tools instead of hiring a full-time data scientist, which might be the reason for less data science positions. I'm not familiar with data science domain and this may not be a accurate read of the situation. In any case, I think instead of waiting for the perfect data scientist job, just take a tangential job atleast temporarily. It will relieve some pressure, and you can better focus your energy on searching for your ideal job.

Wishing you luck for your search!
> When I bought a Ford I didn't stop for a minute to think about the politics of it's CEO.

Exactly. The fact that people imagine themselves interacting with Elon directly when doing business with Tesla is a product of marketing, which is not a part of Ford’s brand.

As I mention in a previous comment [1], this style of hand lettering was common in textbooks prior to 1894. From 1883, for example, we find this specimen in Standard Lettering, published by the Columbia School of Drafting:

Lol this has nothing to do with sofas or real life. It is a fun toy problem to flex some math muscle on.
Ignoring the obvious goalpost move from "the same corporations doing both" to "there are some oligarchs with widely diversified investments", you would then have the problem that your claim isn't true. It is actually the corporations rather than the shareholders doing this. The executives of Exxon don't want a carbon tax and perform machinations to prevent it. Some oligarch who has 4% of their holdings in energy companies is just going to have their fund manager get the inside story on whether the bill is going to pass and then shift around their holdings accordingly.
