An EV with a degraded battery and miles per charge is still very useful for retired people who are tired of traveling long distance and can plug in at home. There should be a good market for them.
I tend to keep my cars over 200,000 miles. Today's cars last a long time. Still, looking back over the past three year's expenses between 150,000 and 200,000 miles, almost all of them relate to engine peripherals - like a new exhaust system, work on emission controls, and a new gas tank, which an EV doesn't have - or brakes, which on an EV last much longer.
...explore a diverse range of design patterns, from foundational concepts like structuring sequential operations (Prompt Chaining) and external interaction (Tool Use) to more advanced topics like collaborative work (Multi-Agent Collaboration) and self-improvement (Self-Correction).
The author of Starlark, a language covered by one of these books on software, discovers that the book is full of hallucinations and incorrect information. He remarks that a beginner might not be able to readily determine that. The other books from HiTeX seem to have the same issues.
At this point, there are 138 comments, which, as is often the case on HN, are much more informative than the link itself and show that the topic is hardly worn out. If it was, it wouldn’t have made the front page.
I took a one week industrial course at MIT back in ‘79, I think it was. Sussman, Knight, Batalli, the whole amazing crew. We started from scratch with gates and progressed to finished layout designs by the end of the week. Most everything had been coded in Scheme, including the test simulation software. I walked out with a five inch binder of instruction and a vastly overloaded head. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Shortly thereafter, they did the Scheme chip using those tools.
That is an absolutely amazing book - how to design and make the highest quality watches from scratch. At the time, all watch fabrication was by division of labor, no one made an entire watch from scratch.
Daniels also wrote a riveting autobiography. He rose from the most abject poverty to world eminence, largely because of the British guild system.
He also collected, restored, and raced old cars. He used to drive his Blower Bentley to his gentlemen's club (!) in London[0]. All this is described in his autobiography.
He needed to do business in Switzerland, so he simply drove his restored Rolls-Royce across the Continent.
LOL. I remember a curbside valve job I did fifty years ago after I blew a head gasket. I think I had the hood up a total of four hours - two hours remove, two hours replace.
Chevy V-8s are easy and there were no emission controls in those days to clutter things up.
