MotorTrend's "The InEVitable" podcast has an episode with the WSJ guy that is a lot longer and while less information-dense, it is more colorful and still gets the story across pretty comprehensively. https://pca.s

What an impressive advertisement. I'm wondering if this is just what rich people are being sold instead of coffee and a good night's sleep now, or is the experience separate from that? Anyone have first hand experience?

I'm typing this on a 3a XL that just refuses to die. Google's valuation of that device in the Store is the same, but they haven't switched it off. Guess I got lucky.

I said the European power balance, not the global one. You misunderstood again. I also wouldn't say that Germans feel betrayed. Quite the opposite, they instead think it's beneficial to betray their allies. Playing both sides, muc

Ah, the habit of reducing geopolitics to one-liners. Germany has, of course, benefitted massively from NATO both before and after reunification. Worth noting that the quote must have predated the EU and all its predecessors, as well as the

His take on insecure people not giving others enough space is also an interesting observation and well phrased. It's the inverse situation, and the symmetry works in a fascinating way.

Love your point. > (Good) meetings are deep work Sadly not enough managers think that either. I've seen a hierarchy where managers only pay attention when their superiors are around. Day-to-day engineering meetings were not their mo

I'm a native speaker and I hate how people have been stumbling through their presentations, lacking basic vocabulary, being dragged along by their bullet points. It wasn't even the accent, it was that the language occupied their

I agree, and a lot of that is cultural as well. But there is still a variety of confidence within the statements of a single person, hopefully a lot, and I calibrate to that.

You'd have to find out the veracity of those leading phrases. I'm guessing that it just prefaces the answer with a randomly chosen statement of doubtfulness. The error bar behind every bit of knowledge would have to exist in the d

Musk is probably really good at back of the envelope calculations. The kind that lets you excel in first year physics. That skill puts you above a lot of people in finance and engineering when it comes to quickly assessing an idea. It is al

My personal criterion for calling somebody an expert, or "educated", or a "scholar" is that they have any random area of expertise where they really know their shit. And as a consequence, they know where that area of exp

Now do the same survey on Siri. I bet the result is going to be the same. The age-old concept of "affordance" in a user interface, where a device announces its capabilities to the user, has completely gone down the drain. Now we&#

These guys didn't get to where they are now by admitting mistakes and making themselves accountable. In power play terms, that would be weak. And once you are way up there and you have definitely left earth, there is no right or wrong

A lot of this is not photography advice, because it's not about what print you put on your wall eventually. This is mostly learning advice, eg which path promises the quicker way towards improvement for somebody starting out. And as wi

The interior of my 3d printed parts has that exact gyroid pattern by the way. They put that in SuperSlicer, and presumably in PrusaSlicer, because it is really easy to print by running wiggly lines along x and y direction. Works great.

The median car in Germany is 12 years old or so, almost the same as in similar countries. That's a result of cars simply lasting longer than they used to. First owner is usually a lease customer (company car), second owner will keep i

Just today I thought about a shoe with four feet on it that you stand on, and kinda have to push yourself forward with. Not even as a fashion statement but as a bit of functional silliness. As it turns out, "shoe with four feet under i

Quite the opposite. The part of the crowd that has site:old.reddit.com in their muscle memory has to be the premium end of the search market. Sure, garbage tier searches will be done LLM style. But few smart people might be bored with that,

But by then you also aren't buying one chair at a time. Or you might just have a standard rate agreed with your favorite supplier, and you'll just give them a call every other month. Buying isn't that hard.

Content describes a place in media in a formal way, by saying where it goes and what its role is. This way to categorize "content" makes it a form. It's similar to how Content Management Systems used to manage the layout and

I do not know. The train has to have an inverter anyways to vary its rpm, and I assume that the motor runs on less than 15 kV anyways. So it could conceivably be done without a separate DC-DC step-up converter, but I wouldn't know for
