My IQ is quite low, maybe 85 or less. I'm not smart enough to understand why a bunch of smart people would argue about how unimportant it is to be smart.

Not really fair, I can walk into a dealer and buy any car from one of those other brands. The Tesla numbers are 1-2 years of built up demand being built/delivered in one quarter. These numbers will definitely not continue.

At this point, people in the Mac hardware engineering leadership need to start submitting their resignations or being forced out. This kind of sloppy engineering and lack of product focus is the antithesis of what Apple has stood for. If I

You have to admit that there is something to this meme, It seems like Fusion suffers from a lack of focus and direction. Ive heard all sorts of horror stories about physicists and engineers going off on fusion design tangents that pull fund

Interesting write up on this, I think there are plenty of opportunities for better engineering and big private/public projects. Like you said though these are non-trivial for sure. What I can say though is imagine all of those people a

I recently took a trip to Bochum, Germany. They have a light rail system that goes to every small suburb, the university, and is centered at the Bochum city train station where there are cabs, bus lines and connections that get you to any s

Where i'm at in Michigan, they always put any kind of transit funding proposal on the ballet. This obviously gets voted down because most people don't want higher taxes for system that will only benefit urbanites in the short term

This is the problem that real public transit will address, obviously if you have no density then it doesn't make sense. But there are places in the US that do have density where people sit in traffic all day and think its normal. It

Doesn't seem like a good thing to me, with the cost of real estate, energy and labor in California, building sprawling manufacturing plants for cars probably won't work. Plus the margins on building cars are very low at high volum

Was warm enough for Henry Ford, The Dodge Brothers, William Durant, Herbert Henry Dow, Louis Chevrolet etc. Maybe some thicker skin and a harder winter would benefit folks ;)

There is a rebound, but it's very slow. The big issue is that automotive money has always been channeled outside of the city and there is little to nothing that will replace it. Everyone is convinced of their ideas of what Detroit need

What is the point of this if it doesn't support any GPUS with a osx driver? I was under the impression that PCI-E was supported by TB3 - the little squabble between Nvidia and Apple needs to stop.

Just like anything - the techies and first adopters tend to set the trends. If the HN crowd thinks its useless then it will start to trickle down to Normies, might take awhile though.

No because relative speed between the two vehicles is different then stopped objects. These two things are treated differently by a radar system - imagine you are driving in semi AV mode and you come around a turn and there is a vehicle on

I think you are moving in the right direction - there is a strange and confusing double standard with gender diversity. Note that I am talking about averages here not individual women. Women and men are different -> This justifies differ

I am a bit triggered. This segregation stuff does not make sense to me, it almost feels like prison rules - keep genders/races away from each other because if they interact it will probably be violent. I wondered what would happen if

I see your point with electric pickup trucks, they will probably be the last to convert. Also I would point out that 3.0 ford engine you are referring to has been around since 2009 as the lion engine in various international markets. https

I'll wait till I hear they have a model actually moving to production. The big oems across the board have been great at convincing people they are looking toward future tech while only releasing new combustion pickup truck and SUV mode

This seems like a shameless money grab. Even the historical "enterprise" GPUs were never this expensive. Nvidia seems like they are just taking their new GPU design which is legitimate (Volta) and trying to cash in on the ML mania

I work with engineers (mostly mechanical) who are in the same boat. We built a quick python app to do in ~30 seconds what their excel/VBA shit fest did in 45 minutes. Excel and the like are better than nothing and for most non programm

I am doing some python to go conversions for some performance gains in parts of my stack - I really like it so far because of how they brought some of the perks of languages like python into a compiled language. One thing I really miss thou
