Nah, as titzer said, it's really about general-purpose code being branchy (a good match for CPUs) vs numeric code being heavily parallelized and non-branchy (a good match for SIMD/…

Maybe you drive into flood waters, but I don't. That's not a difficult skill to pull off. We're still in the early days of self driving cars, and as much simulation and miles as th…

My most enjoyable and productive experiences with AI so far have looked more like pair-programming than agent-based vibe coding. That is to say, I care about the details, and I wan…

They take about the same time as with an ICE. I stop and charge for 20m whenever I need a restroom break or some food (every couple hours or so). My car generally goes longer witho…

> I like Teslas a lot, but gave you ever been on a road trip in one? It's pretty brutal. Maybe 50 road trips? Usually hundreds of miles, with the longest at 1000mi. Literally the e…

I routinely traverse Monteagle with no substantive loss in efficiency. Sounds like something goofy with the mach-e?

I just drove 100mi in freezing temps (around 25F) at mostly interstate speeds (70+) mph. I completed my trip around 95% of EPA. Maybe a function of the quality of your EV.

I know congestion can be an issue at some sites, but I have never waited in line to charge in seven years of EV ownership. In addition, for superchargers, you can see real-time sta…

Is that legally enforceable? If a mod doesn't contain code / assets from the game itself, what legal rights does Microsoft have over the distribution of that mod?

Teslas illuminate brake lights based on deceleration (until reaching a stop), which is the desired behavior. I use regen braking aggressively to slow down, and different light beha…

Slava mentions both bidirectional inferencing and overloading as two of the big culprits. I've been doing some language work recently, and I'm quite sympathetic to bidirectional in…

No joke, that's just wild. I'd expect an expression like that to type-check literally a million times faster - at the least . Even after reading the article, it's not clear why tha…

At first I read this as "Apple doesn't implement Touch ID, because they found it to be insecure", which really confused me. Was that the intent? On second reading, I'm thinking thi…

JOOQ ( http://jooq.org ) is pretty fantastic for this, and it's my go-to for working with RDBMs' on the JVM. It provides a DSL-like API that lets you write pretty much any SQL you …

It sounds like you can't find a used minivan-like EV, with 250+mi range. A 2022 model y has 330mi range new (probably around 300mi now). You can get them for $23K after federal reb…

Can you elaborate?

> Also if there is an explicit split there will be groups of people who "game" it (spend disproportional amount of time to "train" their kids vs actual natural talent - not sure if…

Nothing lasts forever, and eventually you have to port, emulate, archive or otherwise deal with very old applications / media. You see this all over the place: physical media, file…

[Hey I own one of those]. Nah, the majority of people buying those specific vehicles should be buying an EV instead. In fact, this article is targeted specifically to them. Rather,…

No, when you privately sell your vehicle, you transfer it through Tesla.

> first off that's not the case It's objectively the case. They literally have the data to back it up, regardless of what anecdata you might have seen on some forums. > And the con…

This isn't a thing, and as a concrete counter-example: https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty "Yes. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty will follow your vehicle and be transf…

> 269mi after 10 years is catastrophic I have taken multiple 1000+ mi road trips with great ease on 280mi range. I would describe it as the exact opposite of catastrophic. And they…

Can you please share some (non-byzantine) trips that you can't make with only 80% battery capacity? Let's assume 240mi (80% of 300), since that seems to be about the average EV ran…

It's stated directly in the article that Tesla's study reports vehicles with 200K miles generally retaining 85% capacity. That's nearly 300% better than what you're suggesting.
