This is a basically a tut-tutting conga line at this point.

The tarrifs are for the US to build it's own domestic capabilities, but this will ultimately shift the rest of the world's trade away from the US and toward each other. It's a trade-off – no pun intended – between local jobs/national security and downgrading their own economy/geo-political standing/currency. Anyone who's been making financial bets on business as usual for globalization is going to see a bit of a speed bump over the next few years, but in the long term it's the US taking an L to undo decades of undermining their own peoples' prospects from offshoring their entire manufacturing capability. Their trump card - still no pun intended - is their military capability, which the world will have to wean themselves off first.

It's a good thing then that they're quite deliberately skipping it without compunction, though it seems not without unwarranted judgement.

I don’t think the crabs are confusing their prey so much as paralyzing them with fear

To answer the rhetorical: We don't know (and possibly can't know).

Oh well. These comments alone are at least a microblog entry. But if you cross something like that again, and have the time and the inclination, I think a HN submission would be super appreciated.

From what I've read, telemetry is typically opt-in on both EVs and gas. It's tactile mechanical controls that are more important to me. I'm even considering just doing a custom conversion on mine, just as soon as solid-state batteries show up to make the battery life (and hopefully charging time) worth it for heavier vehicles. Any time now...

+1 on this. I don't think I've read a story about how planned obsolescence is achieved in such a novel and non-plausibly deniable way. By that, I mean they haven't just cheaped out on materials, they've spent extra to make it fail predictably.

I wasn't saying the comic was right or wrong, but certainly it's what was running through my mind when I say that we all have 'cherished' or 'deeply held' beliefs. I think at some point deeply held beliefs will be challenged by edge cases, or can hold self-contradictions at the extremes, or turn out to be impractical when applied to the real world – specifically a world of people who won't ever align on a single set of deeply held beliefs, and specifically a world with a subset that would exploit those who hold too fast any kind of belief.

> I don't find that comic compelling.

Perhaps you don't, but I've certainly seen it play out in real life. People don't like beliefs shoved down their throats, no matter how much it might be in their favor.

My bad

Put differently, the last two months have had almost as many cases as the average of the past 24 years.

Ezra Klein has many axes to grind, so I take his commentary with a grain of salt, but it's probably right that Elon has become a solipsist with a savior complex, and harbors the attendant cognitive dissonance that comes with that. I still hold some hope that one day he'll snap out of it, but that won't happen unless he finds himself in a dire situation.

I don't think he's purely about attention, but he craves a particular kind of attention. The kind that the gifted schoolboy gets when they put their hand up in class to a tricky question posed to the class. This might have been his only validation in childhood, or at least the one that was most rewarding, and now his whole life is based around being the clever guy in the front of the class. Most gifted children course-correct some kind of humility in their adult years, either voluntarily or by being humbled by reality, but Elon is yet to meet the moment of his awakening. Being told he's wrong in front of the whole class is the most mortifying thing he's experienced, but he has enough money, enough sycophants surrounding him, and enough momentum is his business ventures (so far) to keep making the same mistakes without any reflection.

> This is a weird take. The "pedo guy" guy told Elon to stick the submarine up his ass.

The weird thing here is that Elon waltzed in with a 'solution' that was ostensibly flawed to anyone but those with the most superficial understanding of what was required, and blithely presented it to actual experts who were putting their lives at risk, and then expected to be praised. What would be normal, would have been to graciously take the reality check he was given and adjust his priors. This is what actually intelligent people do: they learn; they grow up. And maybe one day, Elon will make it to adulthood, but his early fortunes have insulated him from any need for introspection.

You could probably s/LLM/human/ in your comment. Essentially all intelligent life is a pachinko machine that takes a bunch of sensory inputs, bounces electricity around a number of neurons, and eventually lands them as actions, which further affect sensory inputs. In between there may be thoughts in there, like 'I've no more to say', or 'Shut your mouth before they figure you out'. The question is, how is it that humans are not a deterministic computer? And if the answer is that actually they are, then what differs between LLMs and actual intelligence?

Just to clarify, this is what was going through my mind

> an unhandled exception in Pythonx would take down your whole OS

Is there a class of exceptions that wouldn't be caught by PythonX's wrapper? FTA (with emphasis added):

> Pythonx ties Python and Erlang garbage collection, so that the objects can be safely kept between evaluations. Also, it conveniently handles conversion between Elixir and Python data structures, bubbles Python exceptions and captures standard output.

And...

> Rustler is a popular NIF wrapper for Rust in Elixir

From Rustler's Git README:

> The code you write in a Rust NIF should never be able to crash the BEAM.

I haven't used Rustler, Zigler or PythonX (yet), so I'm genuinely asking if I'm mistaken in my understanding of their safety.

Ah no. The use of second person was meant to be applied more generally. You may have taken it personally, but it wasn't my intent.

We all have cherished ideas, like, say, libertarianism. (I wasn't making a specific insinuation, it was really just an innocent parenthetical.)

> anti-trump sentiment, which is more pan-political

If such sentiment was across the political spectrum, he wouldn't have been voted in. The notion that what people think in your bubble is what everyone thinks is what leads to conspiracy theories like "Stop the steal", and it has a chilling effect on actually engaging with people who might be voting against their own interests (or maybe even challenging your own cherished viewpoint on something)

Yeah, I think the major problem with them is lifetime. Oxford PV's tandem panels are supposed to meet or exceed typical panel lifetimes, but being tandem, they also use silicon.

I didn't downvote, but I think—at least in this instance—if you were more specific about what you're criticizing, instead of just expressing generic outrage, you might not have been downvoted and might also have inspired a meaningful discussion.

I'm pretty sure this is for their own infra. FTA:

> Apple said that it, together with Foxconn Technology Group, will later this year begin producing the servers that power the cloud component of Apple Intelligence — a system called Private Cloud Compute — in Houston. That marks a relocation, at least for some production, from overseas. Next year, it says a 250,000-square-foot facility for such manufacturing will open in the city.

[...]

> Apple will also expand data center capacity in Arizona, Oregon, Iowa, Nevada and North Carolina, all states with existing Apple capacity. The company confirmed that mass production of chips started at a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. facility in Arizona last month. Bloomberg News recently reported that plant is building chips for some Apple Watches and iPads.

I don't refute this point, but the alternative materials would have to be more available than high-grade silicon for it to matter.

OTOH for shop bought eggs you also have to add transport (fuel/truck maintenance), storage, commercial land rent/interest costs, electricity, and of course the mark-ups along the way by processors, distributors, and—most of all—the shops themselves, that use their monopoly powers to reduce the margins for everyone else. And if we're doing like-for-like, you have to buy certified 'Pasture Raised' eggs.

The paradigm shift is the actual 'Open' part, which OpenAI seems to be struggling with.

I can't see how what I was saying could be framed as a 'luxury' preference. It's more like, here's government intervention in favor of factory farming. We should be able to go down to our local butcher and get wild caught meat, but this would be deflating the price of meat (or at least deflating the yield). Allowing the sale of wild caught meat provides an affordable and ethical option to people who lack the inclination, time, or ability to slaughter animals. The only problem is that it's money being diverted away from established corporations with their grubby fingers all over government.

(I raised the point about zoonotic disease to contrast the supposed justification of restricting wild caught animals due to disease)

I've seen someone just chuck a load of split peas in a plastic barrel and submerge with rain water. It naturally ferments with occasional agitation and this is supposed to be good for the chickens. So not so hard to do when you get to that point of wanting to try it.

> the highest end organic feed tho

Maybe feed them your food scraps? Or bulk buy and prepare your own grains/pulses?
