Treason

awesome

Looks like a higher capacity formulation than the current LiFePO4

As a CLI fan, I'm interested in where this could go

Agreed

They bid too high

It was obvious these bad times would come for Tesla. Without Musk it would have never come because there would have been nothing like Tesla in its current form. Now that it's happening, of course the reasonable question is can they navigate the murky waters? Is Tesla strong enough to survive? The article asks, why didn't Musk spin off the supercharging company instead of firing everyone? The article also answers its own question by saying supercharging is a huge money sink and less important now that other companies are building out supercharging networks with reciprocal agreements back to Tesla. Making the charging port a standard was pretty smart in retrospect. But we all know standards are incredibly useful to incumbents. Musk and his teams made Tesla into an incumbent from scratch. Now can they stay alive when the era of cheap money is over?

Looks like a good use of pyrolysis to generate waste oil for energy

What a huge waste of time, effort and resources

Make 'em say ugh

Just buy at copart and fix accident damage in your driveway. Your neighbors will love you.

This is ridiculous. Many countries will accept investors for passports beyond what is on this list. Also several countries will allow you to become a citizen if you have close ancestry there. Schiffsovereign has links to do it that don't cost anything.

Wow

If nothing else, Oregon needs to clean up the streets so we don't have degenerate drug users camping out in tents (in big cities) and in RVs (everywhere else) getting high in public. That would be a great start.

While Georgia had a problem with new sole proprietor LLCs popping up in 2020-2021 getting PPP loans for Hellcats and crab legs by the hundreds, Oregon had the same but for RVs and fentanyl. We have deep and serious addictions that have been allowed to fester in public and we need to clean it up.

Anything that shakes people up and interrupts their drug addled slumber is a good start. By increasing the penalties for those who are clearly out of control, police will be able to arrest and prosecutors will have legitimate targets again. None of this is perfect but nobody is doing anything right now.

Measure 110 allowed for decriminalization but as a society we in Oregon don't have enough stigma against drug use and we don't have the corollary treatment programs, both of which are necessary to get Portugal-like results in decriminalization. Even Portugal is losing stigma against drug use, and considering increasing criminal penalties due to similar problems. The shining star of Western decriminalization is tarnished by human nature.

what a waste of time.

Can someone please explain this in plain language?

the context is the company isn't profitable in its current form and somehow there is a secret trick that nobody except this guy knows which will reverse that, perhaps in the near future, or perhaps decades from now

Don't the cars just dial back ignition timing when they detect knock? Unless your car has no ability to dial back, maybe with a custom high-octane tune, regular fuel should still be safe to run.

Absolutely! Newer cars are a tech nightmare. I'm much happier keeping older vehicles on the road than even considering the issues on newer ones. The problem for me now is that if I don't do all the work myself, it is getting harder and harder to schedule a mechanic to do it. Everyone is booked up and I keep getting the impression they generally don't charge enough to feel like they are making good money even at crazy high rates. It's a west coast thing with the incredibly high cost of living.

With ideas floating around about the AI based distortion of society, or with people looking to make examples of how AI will be used as an authoritarian force multiplier, Marc is trying to provide an alternate vision. Since our default view seems to be one of fear, he thinks it should be one of individual power. Clearly he feels the paradigm is wrong. A broke writer who envies the Marc Andreessens of the world is of course going to turn this into an issue of money and class. That's what communists do.

I think we short-circuit the authoritarian uses by having models that anyone can run and utilize any way, any where, for any purpose. At least, I'd rather think about that than worry about whether or not Marc has talked to "poor people," whatever the fuck that means.

right, because so many people are typing in the incorrectly shortened URL instead of clicking on the link. something that happens to work nowhere on any page, that's what people are going to rely on to contact CIA. phew, they really dodged a bullet here because putin didn't figure this out first!

i just checked my main user-facing dns servers, and indeed i disabled pf on them

on my big-boi pf NAT cluster, i keep the udp timeout relatively low to deal with state table congestion:

set limit { states 1000000, src-nodes 100000 } set state-defaults pflow, sloppy set state-policy floating set timeout src.track 240 set timeout udp.multiple 120

pf is on by default in OpenBSD, which is definitely the wrong thing to do on simple servers. I typically disable it and bring the system down to minimal services instead.

OTOH, pf can handle very large state tables with ease. I also use a cluster of pf boxes to front-end a network with 20000+ users and it rides around 500000 to 800000 states every day.

Yes

does a 4x 3090 rig need nvswitch

The author of this article is a moron. He's constantly saying how bad Musk's actions were while describing how everything worked out! Look, guy, there are some big lessons here that just went right past you...

The question is, are the defects serious? Is this guy going in with meaningful stuff?

I carried Usenet in 2000 and dropped soon after because the volume was huge amounts of binaries and nobody used it. No conspiracy necessary.

Hit them hard and keep it up until they're all dead

In the US, small trucks disappeared because of the EPA mandates for fuel mileage. The idea that there is no market for them is plain wrong. Even small trucks like the ranger got much larger because the engines are not efficient enough to meet the EPA mileage and emissions requirements for small wheel base vehicles.

The idea that the move to larger vehicles is due to an arms race or due to insecurities is simply wrong. It may appear this way but the truth is that mileage requirements drive design including wheelbase. The EPA requirements are frequently revised and are too aggressive to allow any of our beloved small cars and trucks to exist on the road today in any form.
