Isn't that for the city driving test? I am not sure which metric Tesla is using, highway or city, the website isn't clear, but at 30 MPH, on flat terrain and with the AC off, I would expect considerably more than 400 miles for the

According to the Tesla web page today the long range model has 405 miles EPA estimated range. Its possible that the article you posted is out of date.

Tesla's Model S has a range of over 400 miles and it can recharge 180 miles in about 15 minutes. So this is mostly a solved problem, all that is left is pushing these specs down to more economical models. I would be surprised if in say

It never ceases to surprise me how the most innovative company in the auto industry, maybe in the world, the only company actually attempting to move the needle is so despised in HN. Is it not obvious that when attempting to do what no one,

Yes, this is true, and as you say the more work is put into the bug report, the cheaper it is for the dev to investigate and the less likely it is that a bug report will be closed prematurely.

People love SQL because it is truly an incredibly bad language. Poor to no ability to abstract, no composability, a grammar so convoluted it makes C++ look logical, and so on. The relational model is a beautiful thing but its power is obscu

From personal experience, bug reports are cheap to generate and very expensive to investigate. Additionally often it is the case that bug that no one paid any attention to eventually does go away on its own (the environment changes, the f

Don't complex python programs end up doing the same thing? I am looking at Django and there is definitely a lot of introspection, code generation and half-assed DSL stuff going on.

Doesn't docker solve all of this? It has for my group, even using C++, which is notoriously finicky. You can version control your docker file and bootstrap a dev environment in minutes.

What an amazingly thoughtful take. Thanks for this. I have always felt there was a difference between managing (which I dislike) and leading (which I do like) but was never quite able to put it in words.

Many, if not most, of American's rich are self-made, most obviously in tech, where the amount of wealth accrued to Gen X's and Millennial boggles the mind. Does your indictment extent to those people was well, or is reserved for p

That level of detachment is only affordable to you because of the generations of people that fought, murdered and died for the nations on which you now can so comfortably live. Perhaps you think that work is done. Maybe you are right, at th

I think you misunderstand me. I am not saying the rich are leaving because of culture war issues. I am saying that the incessant claims that America is just the worse erodes the social fabric for everyone, including the rich, and one manife

Of course they are. When the dominant narrative is that America is a racist hellscape, built on oppression and plunder then things like patriotism and civic spirit seem absurd, quaint notions, ripe for ridicule.

In finance, specifically in trading systems, event-driven is a natural fit and in my experience the default to which systems converge to.

Because the SAT correlates with IQ and IQ tests are racist. Next leetcode style interviewing will be made illegal for the same reasons. Employers will then find something else to approximate IQ, and so on.

I wonder if this could be the reason Ivermectin seems to help with Covid.
108.
by zarkov99 5y ago
Something similar that is happening now is the Ivermectin discussion, which right now, to some sounds as crazy as the lab leak, to some, sounded a few months ago. So we have learned nothing from the lab leak debacle.

Man, we are completely unprepared for the level of control it is not possible to have over speech. I guess I get where Google is coming from, maybe, but this is getting downright Orwellian.

Can you actually use PiHole to serve DNS for your Android? I was able to direct my Linux systems to my PiHole but my Android phone seemed to not care a wit about my internal DNS.

Poor developers in their safe, respected, well paid jobs. Perhaps the should quit and find something easier on their fragile little souls.

Dream on. Somehow we have reached a peak cultural doublethink moment: Yes, it is true that MLK was a saint/genius/martyr but we should do exactly the opposite of what he preached.

Jesus, you described what happened in my company exactly. Now no one wants to touch that code, the build system is a constant pain, we are stuck in an old version of the tools. The way out is going to be a rewrite.

I like your way of thinking. What companies do you think fit that goal?

This seems completely wrong to me. It's just more of the same nonsense. Social media platforms are not to be trusted as arbiters of truth. That isn't their job and if they are "held accountable" for disinformation they w

Do you trust YT to decide for you what is nonsense and what is not? I do not, and I think I could make a pretty good case as to why not.

Todays conspiracy is often tomorrow's orthodoxy. Society is better served by erring on the side of free speech and letting evolution decide what ideas are good and where are not. This was settled hundreds of years ago but apparently th

Not to mention genuine scientific inquiry as demonstrated by the Ivermectin scandal. A harsh reckoning is due, but will it come?

Perhaps we all could recognize courage is a virtue and strive to demonstrate it? Much of the sickness in our culture would instantly be cured if we valued and demonstrated genuine bravery instead of replacing it with victimhood signaling.
