Non-exclusive licensing and hiring the team.

Yep, model inflation. I have an early 2000s Accord and it's smaller than most Civics I see on the road, and with fewer features than a base model Civic.

I'm also in AZ. What's surprising to me is I get slightly better range in the summer months.

How can I get my Nissan Leaf to read this paper? Its range has dropped to 50% of new and a refurbished replacement pack cost 150% the value of the car, which is in otherwise excellent condition. It has only 70k miles.

Levels is making something like that. https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1756396158652432695

I would really want it to have that Dr. Sbaitso voice, though, telling me how to be fitter, happier, more productive.

I implemented that in Objective-C when the iPhone was new-ish. It was a fun demo on a touch screen. It was surprising how well it worked for how simple it was. https://github.com/ddunkin/dollar-touch

Names of bills should be given by a GPT that reads the bill and the CBO analysis of the bill.

The announcement showed a conversation. "Do you have enough water?" "I have half a bottle." Then they talked about some new compression.

> Written on top of C, ported to Node.js.

I think what they mean is it uses uWebSockets.js, a Node.js module wrapping a C++ implementation.

That sounded surprisingly high so I looked it up. Rental vacancy was 5.6% and homeowner vacancy was 0.8% in 2022Q2. Vacancy hasn’t been near 10% in about a decade.

How much rental vacancy is needed for there to be enough space for people to move around? 3-5%? Too low and you have gridlock.

This sounds like the advice of someone who hasn’t worked in codebases mature enough to go through multiple source control system and issue tracking system changes. The commit message is the one piece of documentation most likely to survive. A commit message that explains why the change was made can be very valuable when the code review comments and bug report are no longer available.

I hadn't heard of it either until disks in our storage cluster at work started failing faster than the cluster could rebuild in an event our ops team named SATApocalypse. It was a perfect storm of cascading failures.

> Double disk failure is improbable but not impossible.

It's not even improbable if the disks are the same kind purchased at the same time.
