One thing that doesn't get enough attention - when COVID lockdowns started, he just made reels reading Shakespeare's sonnets. It was such a lovely break from everything else on social media. Really loved those.

What are the standards for a black stripe on HN?
He wasn't an engineer or scientist but I'd wager a majority of the readership of HN, at least those over 35 or so, grew up inspired by Capt. Jean-Luc Picard.

I'm thinking I should upgrade to a Mac Studio. The IIe really struggles to run any LLMs locally.

I have a Wallstreet Powerbook G3 and an Apple IIe. I ordered the updated cloth and will report back on compatibility issues with those old machines that aren't on the list or workarounds necessary to get the cloth to function.

true, but the other side of that trade is almost always an options market maker who will hedge their delta by trading the underlying stock. so, yes, buying a call doesn't directly represent share ownership, but it almost always results in a commensurate share purchase. not 1:1, but reflecting the delta of the option.

Looking for more. tl;dr is that NHTSA publishes accident rates but not mileage. ISeeCars has access to legacy auto mileage from dealership data but guessed at mileage for Tesla's in the period in question. Their methodology was not released and was a fraction of the total mileage that Tesla recorded over that period.
I do agree that Tesla could do a much better job with data transparency. But the claims of the ISC report are pretty difficult to reconcile with the crash test ratings they've gotten from many regulators across the world.

that study was pretty thoroughly debunked. Also, I believe it was put out by a lobbying group representing auto dealerships who see the Tesla DTC model as a mortal threat. There is a lot of legitimate criticism to be directed towards Tesla but the ISeeCars study "aint it".

This feels like a complete BS story. Been to a bunch of festivals and concerts in the last few years and while cell phones have kind of ruined it, its because people are so caught up in filming terrible video clips of the stage they'll never watch instead of being present in the moment.

I did. I really wanted to like it. I think it broke due to something I was doing with fragments or splitting up code in my monorepo. I may give it a shot again, from first principles it is a better approach.

Can you elaborate? I've used URQL and Apollo with graphql code gen for type safety and am a big fan.
What about relay is so compelling for you? I'm not disagreeing, just genuinely curious since I've never really used it.

When its such for my personal edification and idle wonderings, usually the former. If its something that is any way critical to a meaningful decision or something I'm going to publicly share, its the latter.

I never understand why the rotating station concepts seem to all have rigid tethers, either in the form of a central boom or a rigid circular structure. It would seem like you could get a much larger diameter, so less rotational velocity and more comfort, by attaching rigid, or inflatable in this case, structures with a tether. Compressive loads are non existent, you just need to resist tensile loads.
Maybe I'll go ask the AI.

There are quite a few specific procedures unique to crossing the North Atlantic. Part of it has to do with the absence of radar and VHF comms requiring HF or satellite communications which pilots will otherwise never use. I'm sure Pacific crossings have their own peculiarities but I'm less familiar.
