I could not disagree more. Those concepts, theories and all that knowledge is what makes it so powerful. I feel successful with AI because I know what to do (I’m older than you by a lot). I talk to younger people and they don’t know how to think about a big system or have the ability to communicate their strategies. You do. I’m 72 and was bored. Now that Claude will do the drudgery, I am inspired.
Canada and the US are very different places, I'm fairly astonished to hear that to be honest.

Canada may as well be British, except Quebec who are somehow more french than the french themselves.
Getting only 30% of the advertised range would be very unlikely unless you always drive uphill and in the cold. I've had a Model 3 and a Model Y, and would get at least 80-85% of the advertised range in average California weather.
Nope - nothing from Google that I can find.

I just spent 2 hours resetting and debugging my 2nd gen HDMI dongle. Blessed with having a UniFi network which can be a bit temperamental with Chromecast. For me the song and dance started with "outdated device firmware".
> Britain and most western countries have put all their eggs in one large basket: that of digital communications. In a time of global conflict, this could be a risky and painful prospect.

There's a scene in The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1970) where a man (Jewish) is listening to the events of WWII play-out over shortwave. He is living at the moment in relative safety but he understands from what he hears that change is afoot in his country.

At the risk of sounding like a prepper, it was clear to me then that having a radio capable of long distance reception was a very valuable thing to have around.
The climate control in my (non-tesla fwiw) EV with a heat pump uses around 2kW when its going full-out. Anecdotally it also heats the cabin much faster than a space heater would.

Usually it's only pulling that much juice for the beginning of a drive and after a few minutes it reduces when it finds a steady-state.

2kW is about the same amount of juice that the drivetrain pulls when driving 35mph, so it can make a pretty big difference in the efficiency of shorter drives.

Sidenote: even though resistive heating is less efficient in heat per watt, using the heated seats is usually more efficient in terms of comfort per watt than heating the entire cabin

Thanks for the quote! Do you happen to have a source for that quote?

Other than that, you suggest Musk would otherwise “be in prison.” Under which legal framework or statute should a CEO face criminal liability for a failed technological prediction or delayed product rollout?
The current administration is doing a very fine job ... of collapsing whatever US hegemony still exists.

The status quo would be, for example:

* continuing to honor the social safety net constructed incrementally since 1929

* honoring contracts with overseas organizations

* honoring the 200+ year old understanding that Congress controls spending, creates government departments, and establishes rules for the hiring and firing of government employees

* retaining an understanding of the complex and deeply woven role of the federal government, along with the argument known as "Chestertons fence" (don't tear down a fence till you understand why it was built)

* continuing to structure taxation based on (a) the marginal value of income (b) the concept that the impact of taxation should be roughly equal no matter what your income level is

* resist the expansion of worldwide ideologies that lead to a decrease in personal liberty and/or is accompanied by the use of military force to acquire another nation's territory (we've never been close to perfect on this, but it's nice to have an ideal in mind rather than just dropping any attempt at a morally just world).

Debt is only a problem if you subscribe to heterodox ideas about how national economies with sovereign currencies operate (or worse, imagine that national economies function like household or business economies).
Why not? Government currencies are volatile too, people just tend to ignore that or blame price changes on greedy businesses.

Prices change continuously. You can never be sure what the price of anything is going to be next week.
Imagine how many people are going to die from this. It's quite sickening to think about.

The president of peace who is not interested in war, but something much crueler, extortion and retribution which seems to be positioning the world for a real WW3. Not a Fox news theortical "Biden" inspired one.

You’re going off piste. I’m objecting to the claim that citizens are the final arbiters of the law. That is not a view that was held by the founders because they were studied in the history of direct democracies, the early forms of which didn’t distinguish between the citizens qua legislators and citizens qua courts.
I see it more as “if an LLM can do that, why would I need an employer?”

I worked at a crypto company and left after I realized that 99% of crypto are scams. Either people get rugpulled or they get their wallets emptied by scammers, and I don't think Apple would have survived if the iPhone was a hotbed of scams. There's a tiny sliver of activity which isn't purely scams, like BTC or ETH but even then there's almost no real use case except the Greater Fool Theory, and I just don't think that's sustainable. I think at some point the entire industry is going to get rugpulled because there's still no inherent demand except selling it to someone else for more money.

Every land territory on Earth that is claimed by at least one government also has a government, correct?

Either Palestine has a government of its own or Palestine is a part of Israel.
Consider that your typical older long range model 3 had a 75 kWh battery in their first day, and one might typically charge it to 80%. So that 1kW, for one hour, is far more than a fraction of a percent of the practical battery capacity.

Mine doesn't have a heat pump, so I can definitely notice range decreases. Also consider that the battery likes to be at a good temperature, and that isn't going to be free if your car is parked outside for 8 hours. That changes range too
The article says that it belonged to a species of deer called “wapiti”. Since I never heard of it, I looked it up and it’s just an elk. Why didn’t the article just say “elk” which is the much more common term?

Cynical view: anything that can repair DNA damage can go rampant and wreak damage.
That's the interesting thing here, isn't it?

The goalposts have moved. It was "government needs to be smaller, because corruption is inevitable [usually with convenient pointing at Bill Clinton or other Democrats]" This had it's own problem - handing over power to corrupt businesses has had plenty of issues in the past!

But now it's "it is important for us to seize and centralize more power in the areas we want to because of what the other guys did, but ALSO we are openly corrupt." Even something like mass layoffs is generally not framed as "the government shouldn't do all these things" (some exceptions of course for favorite scapegoats like CFPB) but just "these are being done too expensively and inefficiently." The admin uses things like "free speech" as a cudgel where it thinks its in its benefit, but then turns around and wants to interfere more in how many places operate (see the lawsuits over media coverage of the election, or restrictions on research or educational curricula).

So the central small-government-justifying framework has been entirely jettisoned, along with any executive restraint.

Will four years of that being in-your-face obvious alienate enough of the people who thought the "conservative" part was important?

Why do they always try to make a taxi out of it? I mean Waymo, now Cybercab. I would gladly pay a high premium for such a car to be able to work on my laptop on the way from my home to the office while in a car. I don't mind the whole taxi concept for some cases but just not sure about focusing or taking a meeting call from a taxi with strangers.
> there's no reason to suspect the possible illiberal mass arrests of political opponents in the future

No reason, from the man who was already threatening targeted illegal arrest of political opponents?

No reason, from the man who keeps making "jokes" about being president for life?

No reason, from the man who sent lawyers to the supreme Court to argue that he could order the military to assassinate his rivals and it wouldn't be a crime?

No reason, from the man who said he needed generals more like Hitler's?

No reason, from the man who promised the largest deportations in American history?

No reason, from a man who argued his election loss justified "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution"?

... What needs to exist for you to be suspicious?

Sure. But they have no obligation to provide it to you right now. Anyone concluding confidently before we have court filings is obviously grinding an axe. (And it’s happening on both sides. No group has a monopoly on hyperbole.)
If you hold a green card and support an organization which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the US government, you are taking a giant risk and are quite likely to be deported (legally). Section 237 of INA explicitly calls it out.

Most green card holders will tell you they feel like a guest in the country. Getting involved in protests and supporting organizations on the terror list etc seems rather silly...

For an excellent analysis of Bukele and life on the ground in El Salvador, I highly recommend Matt Lakeman's notes:

https://mattlakeman.org/2024/03/30/notes-on-el-salvador/

Specifically on Bitcoin:

> This guide also told me that he immediately spent his $30 Bitcoin gift from the government on beer and hasn’t possessed a single Satoshi since.

> I saw maybe four or five Bitcoin ATMs in El Salvador, including two Athena Bitcoin machines. I didn’t see anyone using them.

> The guide, who I consider an articulate and strong supporter of Bukele, seemed to consider the president’s Bitcoin ambitions to be a weird, misguided, but ultimately trivial effort.
What psychedelic/mind-altering/weird coaching prompts do you use?

I have separate system prompts for taboo-teaching, excessive-pedanticism, excessive-toxicity, excessive-praise, et cetera.

My general rules is anything & everything humans would never ever do, but that would somehow allow me to explore altered states of consciousness, ways of thinking, my mind, the world, better. Something to make me smarter from the experience of the chat.
Everything ends eventually. From your other comments, it appears your singular idea is that bitcoin will go down in value. Consider adding it to the list [0]. Bitterness at not getting in on something does not equal any sort of truth though. Best of luck, and maybe diversify your opinions as well.

Why Are We So Obsessed with Blue?
It doesn't seem to be going down very well in the US either.

One factor is that even if you think Musk was just mucking about or misunderstood, there is still the embarrassment of other people thinking your car choice endorses that.
Yup. It’s intentionally ambiguous because you have two groups of people talking to themselves, including about how the other group perceives and portrays them. The actual interaction is sparse and frankly horrible, so instead we get two pools of thought careening under their own momentum into increasing incoherence.

I would absolutely love to be wrong, but I've just gotten my hopes too many times and known too many people who have died from cancer.

To be clear, I am very much not blaming the scientists for this. I'm confident that the work that they are doing is very cool and challenging. I blame science reporting for always feeling like every headline has to suggest that every discovery is going to completely change the world.
I think Steve truly believed at his core, very simply: your laptop is your diary, and they have a responsibility to that.

> by questioning the beliefs that cause you to feel what you're feeling

I think one oversight is that you presuppose this.

My beliefs in this case counter my feelings. I have nothing but warm regards, in belief, for dudes that want to kiss dudes. And I've gone to gay events, pride, gay nightclubs, made gay friends, worked with gay peopke, done all the things to normalize it in my mind and the negative feeling from watching homoerotic activity doesn't hamper this or stop me from enjoying my time with these people.

In this case it's not belief driving feelings, it is a negative feeling I get counter to my beleif that I just have to overlook. I don't see this as a 'problem' as you put it. For all I know it is some genetic drive my ancestors had that lead to my genesis. I have no reason to believe it is maladaptive.
> What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Very relevant in a court of law. Not really so in public opinion. I’m not saying we can conclude he deserves any of this, nor that it’s legal. I’m just saying we can’t conclude what happened was illegal without knowing the charges and evidence.
It doesn't really look like this administration is super concerned with following the law or doing things "the right way" or whether something is blatantly illegal. Who is going to stop them?
I'm in Europe, so it's mostly Chinese propaganda in various languages that you pick up on shortwave around here. There's exactly one American broadcast you can get here and that is, you guessed it, a Jesus channel.
This is not about whataboutism. Musk has been supported by many when he shouldn't have been. It was clear from the beginning. Has every Tesla owner or investor divested? No.

To be perfectly clear, I am worlds away from today's extremist Republicans and centrist Democrats.

My point is that cult of personality led here, and many on this site ("the rest of us"), even when presented with evidence, ignored their part in it when it came to Musk. It's the same cult of personality lamented in the comment I replied to. Both brought us to here.
They seem pretty good with human language learning. I used ChatGPT to practice reading and writing responses in French. After a few weeks I felt pretty comfortable reading a lot of common written French. My grammar is awful but that was never my goal.
Elk is pretty ambiguous — it refers to different species depending on the context (in Europe, ‘elk’ refers to what in north America is called a moose. Wapiti is a name for what ‘elk’ refers to in North America). You get a similar problem with the words ‘hawk’ and ‘buzzard’
I have a model 3 from 2019 that is not quite as extreme, but gets similar issues. It should have 350 km of range. I see some people posting insane wh/km numbers, but I think I'm doing a pretty decent job (130-140 wh/km or ~225.31 wh/mile average outside of the winter); I barely get 270-280km, max.

The issue isn't the driving range, but rather the unexplained loss of range. I'm talking about losses of 7.5% if I leave it parked in front of my house for an hour or two. I have photos too; if you reach out to Tesla, they curtly tell me the battery is fine.

A vague "you need to keep your car plugged in" is frankly insane, what if I went on a 100km trip, left my car outside for an hour or two, and came back without enough range to go home? I've heard people say to disable the app on my phone, but that frankly seems like a Tesla problem, not a "me" problem.

I still enjoy driving the car. I just wouldn't trust it for long range driving. I probably will buy Hyundai or BYD (if Canada lets them in) next time.
Comparing cpu centric startups to AI accelerator ones on funding raised in current climate is a little silly.
Yes, that is a good point. But it also causes him to continuously think about indicators to determine what he has taken. He is constantly trying to punch the veil on this "blind" study instead of doing everything he can to avoid that. Are they really the exact same weight? Do they really feel the same in his hand, mouth and throat? Does one have a slightly different taste - after all, no filling process will leave the outside of the capsule 100% free of powder, etc? Very subtle differences could manifest themselves over 16 months.
> That is literally in our founding document and literally citizens being the final arbiters of law

That’s an uncommon reading of that line. Citizens can throw off the government. That doesn’t make them the final arbiters of the law. (Not even legal system. One point of that sentence is you don’t get to choose which parts you throw off.)
Which is ironic, considering how Bitcoin security budget will very likely decrease as time goes on with Bitcoin halvenings and low transaction fees going to miners
You just aren’t delving deep enough.

For every problem that stops you, ask the LLM. With enough context it’ll give you at least a mediocre way to get around your problem.

It’s still a lot of hard work. But the only person that can stop yourself is you. (Which it looks like you’ve done.)

List the reasons you’ve stopped below and I’ll give you prompts to get around them.
Not all data lives in a SQL database. Much of the extraction code I write does things like loading flat files from unusual sources and querying APIs.

If the source data is already in a SQL store, then the solution should be obvious. You don't need any other tools to produce the desired view of the business at that point. Transforming for an upstream schema is a select statement per target table. This doesn't need to be complicated.
Sir, Harris did nothing about high egg prices when she was in office. Neither did Biden. They presided over some of the highest inflation in American history. Whether it was their fault or not they didn't do a damn thing to fix it.

What is Trump doing? Promoting imports of cheaper eggs from abroad, if nothing else. He is the first politician this century to make a big deal out of balancing the budget and our imports/exports. This will not be a painless process but something has to be done.
That is insane value for money, if you don't mind the stigma of owning a Tesla.

It seems like a used Tesla would be a better deal since most of the parts don't wear out and require maintenance like a petrol car. You can even check the status of the battery from service mode. Reddit seems to suggest high mileage Model 3's are pretty good in terms of reliability.
I think that's pretty fair on the side of the EPA, it's good for drivers to keep the estimate conservative. Imagine if the difference between "ideal" driving and "everyday" driving was like half. Someone who plans a road trip with the advertised range in mind is probably gonna have a bad day.

And because it's bad for batteries to be fully charged/discharged they should probably take that into consideration as well since "you could go further if you damage your car" isn't exactly a normal driving scenario.
How can Tesla advertise a “more accurate” number if they are required by regulation to use EPA estimate?

EPA range estimates being inaccurate is a real problem. They do not, and are not designed to, give actual expected range. It’s meant to be an “average” of “mixed” driving.

Take latest Model Y as example. If you compare EPA range vs WLTP (commonly used in EU)

327mi EPA est. (526km) US version (long range) /
586km WLTP est. (364mi) EU version (long range)

The WLTP is “average” as well, so which of these is more accurate?

This problem is not unique to Teslas, and actually not unique to EVs either. It’s just more noticeable, as ICE vehicles usually advertise MPG and tank size, not total range. So EVs suffer from their own advertisement highlighting numbers that will never be accurate.
The best plan to prevent Russia from winning would be to cut off Russia's oil revenue. Fossil fuel exports are the only way that Russia can sustain their war effort. First, other European countries need to get serious and stop buying from Russia. Second, give Ukraine enough long range missiles to wreck Russia's fossil fuel infrastructure: pipelines, tank farms, refineries, ports, etc. Russia was heavily dependent on foreign technical experts to maintain that infrastructure and has little capacity to do so on their own.

This can be done with very little US funding. And sharing intelligence with Ukraine literally costs us nothing.
