After using Lamda and then migrating away from it, my conclusion is that I'll only use lambdas for sysadmin-like things or for spikey-workloads where the cost savings is practically more than an engineer's salary because they&#x27

Agreed with regard to the project dying if it can't charge the main battery. Supposing that's not a problem, if the GP is right about the Ramcharger using an ICE to run the electric motors, then in principle we pretty much already

It'd be funny to hack the range extender's protocol so you could install a diesel electric generator instead of a battery pack.

IMO, this whole cloning idea is overcomplicated. Let the duplication of markup happen server side or in React (or whatever). If the developer wants a <selectedoption>, they should fill it with <option> elements that correspond t

I appreciate you sharing articles. Do you feel that we're trying to establish how well I see 'reality' or about Tesla's odds of deploying self-driving cheaply and widely. It feels like the former, but maybe I'm not

It was a difficult conversation when I had to explain to my children that my love and support for them was zero-sum. I.e., I think you missed my point about being happy for people attempting to do something difficult and celebrating their s

If anyone is going to make self driving work, the odds are stacked in Tesla's favor. They have more data and distribution than any of their competitors. If/when that day comes, a decade—or two—of relentlessly pursuing that goal wh

You're right. Since the postal worker knows his route, he knows my name. So snail mail works perfectly well. Same for the Amazon delivery person (took a few visits). Same for the local pizza place. It's online address suggestion&#

Because datasets like the BAN exist to document how actual people and places are to be addressed. People and places don't exist to be addressed by the BAN.

You could be right, but I think it's a little beside the point. The challenge illustrated in the blog post is that it's practically impossible to build a really accurate address dataset since the real world is messy for the reason

Agreed. This is a pretty typical case though, not a fluke. God bless the french postal workers. Don't invest in any drone delivery services here any time soon :P

A cautionary example of how data meets reality… My address in France is listed in the BAN… but only to the granularity of my street number (e.g., 123 Main St.). Unfortunately, that number corresponds to at least 7 different structures, 5 of

Hmm, only if 'coding' is very broadly defined? I suppose you feel you could understand the technical details of another software engineers architecture if they explained it you, even if it were written in a programming language yo

Hence the regulation would force Uber (and ultimately the customer) to make it worth their while.

This is the question. All the ethical concerns are almost superfluous if the provider knows how much they're gonna earn, at a minimum, before they accept the gig. It's either worth it to them or it isn't. If anything shoud be

I find it difficult to take the technology review seriously with the off topic remarks and prefaces about Musk and Tesla at the beginning of the post.

I agree that it you can fold it up, sure, go for a bigger mirror. But widening the mass constraints will also be a game changer. As for the commercial market, I think it opens up a new branch of materials science for high-end manufacturing

If we could (we probably can), we'd have a fluent LLM that would generate sounds that we still couldn't understand.
