True, but could the incentuve be structured around the individual employee’s coffee shop (which would mean divulging the i individual coffee shops financials? That could make each employee look better out for the profitability of their coff

Well, the growth rate for vehicles is negative (q2-2024 compared to q2-2023), so batteries having higher growth rates is not saying much...

Yeah, I was not talking about this case in particular. For example, various international treaties are often very vaguely formulated, which has the concequence that practical law making gets done in the courts (which is too undemocratic). I

Not specific to the Chevron deference, but I’ve always felt that judicial interpretation should be conservative, i.e. legal rulings should aim to not change society without a previous law change by the parliament. This would mean that the p

Not OP, but to me it sounds line p-hacking aka bad science as well: If you slice a dataset en enough subsamples you will very likely find random correlations. That’s the nature of these kinds of analyses and we should be sceptical of conclu

Negative prices do incentivize storage, because storage will alliw sellers to sell at a time with higher prices (i.e. when demand is greater relative to supply).

Isolated this is a zero sum game in favor of buyers (someone has ti take the electricity), but longer term, this shows there needs to be better greater electricity storage solutions available, i.e batteries or similar.

Yeah, operating on strings has historically been a major weak point of Numpy's. I'm looking forward seeing benchmarks for the new implementation.

One aspect of that time period is they absolutely idolized the romans. A lot of education at the time consisted of learning latin and at the same time people were well aware that only a fraction of the classical texts had been preserved. I

I agree. In general, european companies accepts unions, but in return requires its competitors are also be unionized. Tesla not being unionized is a problem for european car manufactorers as Tesla will have lower costs/more flexible wo

All true, but the same apples to the M1 to M3 comparison, and the architectural differences are likely even greater than between the M2 and M3.

by topper-123 3y ago
Still, the M3 is the first 3nm processor. It would be interesting to see it compared to the latest 5nm processor (the M2) to see the gain from die switch. Perhaps not showing it means there is little benefit from going from 5nm to 3nm?

The Let it be album is also from this session, thought Abbey road was the album that was released by the Beatles. Let it be was released later (after the band broke up) as a money grab from the studio without autorization from the Beatles (

Yeah, if you buy a house when you have little equity, your equity can go up manyfolds from the purchase, but at the risk that if you time the purchase badly, you’re in a bad spot for many years.

> If it's not a superconductor, it's the most diamagnetic room temperature material ever seen, by orders of magnitude. If it’s not a superconductor, can it still be used for e.g. maglev trains?

IMO people mostly want longer battery span because current batteries take a long time to charge. Toyota has claimed that this battery will charge very fast, in which case range will not be as important as it is now.

What are you on? Having battery with 3x battery capacity will be an absolute game changer. This will do a lot of good, if it gets into production. For one thing, it will make EVs competitive with diesel, which will be s huge win for getting

Can someone explain how cheating is avoided is this setup? Can’t people just give fake biometric data to this system?

IMO social media should age check by law. The problem with parental control is that it’s very difficult to say no, if the child’s friends are on socal media. Let the social media do age controls, by law.

While true, an interesting data point is that prewar Rissian spend less on its military than did Britain. This is in non-ppp dollars terms, but interesting nonetheless.

Yes. A good example of this is “Love me tender” by Elvis Presley. It’s melody is from the mod 1800s.

Korean can be written left to right or top to bottom, which is very cool.

Someone should do a followup on all the batteries break-troughs on the front page of HN over the last 5 years and count how many got into production. Still, an announcement from a big company like this is a lot more credible than from resea

> you need the human to figure out when that's the case. Yes, but you will need fewer people. And thas is with the current level of GPT. If the GPTs proficiency increases, fewer and fewer people will be needed. That’s a problem.
