Oof….Tesla just got busted totally lying about the car range, lying so badly they developed an algorithm that overestimates your range until you hit 50% battery, then tells you your actual range and created a “diversion team” to cancel appointments from people who complained about their car’s range, telling them their car had been remotely diagnosed with no problems but they had actually not run diagnostics at all, and they had a practice of calling customers to try to cancel any appointments and if they got no answer they just canceled the appointment themselves, and eventually made it impossible to create an appointment for a vehicle range issue at all.
All this because they knew they over estimated their cars range by 25-50%!!! New Teslas supposed to have an over 300 mile range we’re not going 150 before the battery dies, and Tesla knew from the start it was a lie.
Tesla isn’t the only ev that overestimated its range, but they are the worst offenders by more than double. So much for another of your heroes.

You going to CPAC?
Prepare for Covid.
So many got covid from the last two when they denied it was a thing that now you must sign a waiver waiving your rights to sue them if you get Covid and die, and stating that you 100% accept the risk of exposure, contracting, and spreading covid…and include your children in that waiver so when you bring home covid and they die, CPAC isn’t liable.

CPAC, where cons go to share memes and rant now, is SO important it’s worth your children dying or being severely disabled for life, and yourself, and your wife, and your workplace, and your community. That’s the right for ya. “Our right to party outweighs your right to live”.

You must be proud.

Er mer gerd the Elon move is hilarious. Couldn’t stand that Biden’s tweets were more popular so he rewrote the algorithm to force/push his tweets to everyone, followers or not, by bypassing all the filters that personalize recommendations and raising his ranking by a factor of 1000 artificially….because he’s a little baby who can’t stand that he’s not liked! ROTFLMFAHS!!
This has resulted in #blockelon trending.
So much for caring if Twitter plays favorites, right? Doesn’t matter one bit if they favor right wing stupidity, but call a congressional hearing if they follow their own terms of service in favor of a liberal. You people are not serious people, you’re infants.
🤦‍♂️

Edit: it sounds like Trump was just subpoenaed in criminal court….BY THE PROUD BOYS as a co-conspirator! LOL! Not good for him, they have the pictures and texts from Trump and Co both at the White House Residence (where no one goes without personal invitation from POTUS) and the coup headquarters at the Willard hotel with other administration officials (like Stone, Giuliani, Flynn).

D’oh. Tesla fired dozens of workers who were organizing a union. These were people who code the autopilot system….a system just recalled and badly in need of an update. Multiple deaths and dozens of serious crashes. Not good when unemployment is this low and you’ve already turned off any and all workers by treating them as easily replaceable or worthless.

Clearly more than you watched. I’m retired, and have all the time in the world.

Lol. News feed. You are hilarious, Bob. I must assume that’s how you get what you call news, only from preselected online news feeds the algorithm decided you would agree with, because experience has proven that to be the case time and time again. Sorry, that’s not how I get informed.
I’ve been over how I get informed umpteen times and it never gets through the rectal shield you keep most of your sensory organs in, so why bother again?

Edit: try this, Bob. Sign out, then see what your news feed tells you without it being tailor edited for you.

When I hear the easily recognizable voice of the narator on this video I immediately turn it off. It seems every site that uses this narator has the same M.O. Lots of non relevant or misleading stock photos and endlessly bloated verbiage. I guess they are trying to match the YouTube algorithm for optimal video length? I find it quite annoying.

The actual video is 2:31 to 2:51 with, granted, one or two nice photographs later on.

The Most Popular Programming Languages - 1965/2020

noims says...

I had an interesting experience with prolog in college. It's such a different way of thinking, and all through the classes I never quite got it... I could read it no problem, but couldn't write it. I caught glimpses but they never stuck, and I couldn't just learn off algorithms to get through the exam.

Anyway, the exam comes around and I'm reading through the questions and my mind just flipped. It was all so clear. Got through it with no problems. As proud as I am of that moment, I've never tried to write another line of it, so I have no idea if it stuck.

Awk
would like to learn a logic programming language (eg Prolog), but have yet to get over starting inertia
will do some Fortran shortly for access to numerical libraries

Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy

moonsammy says...

...Maybe? It would absolutely annihilate at something like chess, or Go. I have a hard time imaging a good use case for having it actually run a video game, but I'm guessing few people working on early traditional computers could've envisioned any of the delightful diversions we now take as a given. Probably when I'm 80 kids will be playing quantum Minecraft in a layered omniverse of worlds, where removing a block in one world has consequences in nearby dimensions, with chaos theory realistically modeled and incorporated.

Some complex tasks a QC would absolutely rock at however. Feed it a long list of employees, hours of availability, and coverage requirements, and it should spit out a 100% optimum schedule immediately. Air traffic controllers (particularly at large hub airports) would likely find it helpful in coordinating flight plans. Logistics for manufacturing, shipping, etc. The downside is that encryption will likely be utterly fucked for a while, as a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits could try all possible options at once. So it'll be interesting, but we're still 10+ years from any sort of commercial products, and they'll be like the computers of the 60s: huge and expensive, big iron for custom purposes. Or at least that's my semi-informed guess, I ain't no technoprophet.

Someone who really wants to get involved in bleeding-edge tech would do well to dive into this field. Writing the algorithms needed to run a task on a QC requires a completely different mindset than programming a traditional computer. I don't think people with years of experience with current programming methodologies would adapt well. At best they'd be nearly starting from scratch, at worst they'd have to work to un-learn what they already know.

Thank you sir.

So it may not run Crysis but it will definitely improve the SimCity experience!

Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy

moonsammy says...

It'll be useful eventually, but I wouldn't bank on soon. My final project in college was related to quantum computing, which at the time (18 years ago) was effectively entirely theoretical. I've enjoyed seeing the steady, albeit slow, progress.

The areas where quantum computing will really shine are problems which involve a huge number of possible answers, but only one best or correct one. The traveling salesman problem is a classic of computer science, as you can scale it up in complexity to the point where any traditional computer will eventually choke on the sheer number of permutations to test. Great way to demonstrate the need for clever solutions and well-written algorithms vs brute force approaches. An adequately sophisticated quantum computer, however, will theoretically be able to solve the traveling salesman problem nearly instantly, regardless of the level of complexity / number of nodes to navigate. Because it just tests all possible answers simultaneously.

Much like nuclear fusion. Apparently it works but is it useful yet? Ever?
