Really? I thought the roadster came out really quickly after Tesla was founded Edit: founded in 2003-4, roadster came out in 2008

I don’t have any data to support what I’m about to say, but I bet us swat teams get a lot more calls to legit violent situations because Americans have so many guns. So they probably roll up much more stressed than similar units in other de

This is like saying I don’t need an apartment because i can cheaply live at the office during weekdays 9-5.

The case in Pennsylvania is not representative of pension funds. If you read the linked article from Bloomberg, it explains that this allocation in “alternative” investment is double the average.

Is it bad to pay more for more consistent energy? When you factor in cost of storage, I doubt the multiple is still 3.

While not standardized, there are compiler builtins for operations which care about overflow. They will not be optimized out and are very efficient (cost ~1 cycle if no overflow).

Great article. The story of Indian point is unfortunate. The reactor was old —- in a perfect world we wouldn’t have to choose between old reactors vs no reactors. But funding new reactors in the US is tough (which is arguably due to US re

It’s hard to argue this while several reactors are under construction around the world... just mostly not in the USA and mostly not in Western Europe.

1. IMO and, I think, as this author would say, the electorate is voting based on bad information. 2. If the cost of a nuclear plant were lower, I think we’d see more projects despite the electorate‘s thoughts. (Just my opinions)

I think this is why some countries (China, Russia, and some EU countries) continue to invest in nuclear power for base load. Solar/wind power are great where they are viable, but that’s not everywhere (yet) Edit: to be fair, the US is

I made this point because (I thought) TFA was saying all we need is better government policies, but we also need cheap storage and long distance transmission (which are hard/expensive). Your example shows that the storage cost is stil

That is at best in research and at worst a moonshot idea. Moving electricity long distance is rarely done today (again, not trying to say it cannot be done... just saying this is not a trivial thing where all we need is better govt coopera

Great! I hope we do make big investments in renewable sources of electricity. But this article glosses over two biggish issues: - we can’t rely on intermittent power source without grid scale batteries (which we don’t cheaply have) - fossi

IMO yes; if the materials cost a lot of time/carbon/resources to produce, then we should make them last!

Anti fouling is the only thing I can think of that’s really bad about boats. The rest seems ok/not worse than living on land.

I’m guessing no because you have to travel pretty fast for an air wing to have an effect (~50-200mph), but you travel relatively slower for the hydrofoil to perform well (10-30mph). (These are very approximate numbers I made up from experi

Maybe this is slightly weird, but I have a fear/aversion/phobia about looking at shellfish... but I’m interested in what this says about evolution. Is there a text-only way to read about this?

1. Seems like you’d have extra cache contention? 2. How would coroutines/threads handle this? Switch two stack pointers?

It’s not an easy migration. 1. Banks and other stakeholders subscribe to binary formats of price data. Making this change means forcing everyone to update. And those subscribers are paying customers who will likely be against this change

Title seems somewhat misleading. He said ML often performs poorly on out of sample inputs. Seems different from being “a long way from real world use.” I don’t think anyone would argue ML is not being used in the real world!

There are physical limits. E.g. clock speed can’t go so high that information must travel across the cpu faster than the speed of light. E.g.2. As caches get bigger, it takes more time to index them.

First off, distributed memory has been tried (e.g. in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba_(operating_system) which is famous for its relationship with Python). It’s extremely hard to do in a performant and coherent w

OT: I’ve often thought the easiest way to alleviate the MTA’s load would be to make it affordable/desirable to live near work. It seems unnecessary and painful to have to commute ~1hr from one side of the city to the other especially

Compiler writers aren’t that far behind? C++17 is mostly supported. C++20 is one year old!

Modules doesn’t even really speed up the build if you have a highly parallel build... and it’s unclear how build tools should support it in a uniform way. I think modules will go unused but I hope I’m wrong
