Fit and Finish are exterior indicators of the quality of the entire vehicle. If they don’t care enough to make the panels line up, what assurances do we have that they do care enough to torque all of the bolts correctly, to ensure that the motor is mounted correctly, to ensure that the suspension has been properly calibrated?

Also, the condition of the body and the interior matter more to the vehicle’s resale value than the condition of the rest of the car - again they are indicators of the quality and care taken with the rest of the car.
Op's comment is about harm done by people who directly interact with new parents:

> they never found a way to quantify what practical harm they cause to parents who get judgy nurses and a birthing room full of "Breast is Best" posters, who eventually spend nights weeping over their inability to feed their child, constantly feeling like they're a failed parent because they used formula

Your response inferred the OP desired scientists to lie - but that's a notion you introduced to the conversation:

> You seem very resentful, do what works for you but don't expect scientists to lie to make you feel better.
Agreed. Github isn't a purely professional tool, and NPM isn't a purely professional tool, and Javascript isn't a purely professional tool.

I'm seeing comments on here that some of these people are acting like high school kids. Some of them probably are high school kids.

And that's fine. One of the biggest goals of Open Source in the first place is that software shouldn't only be developed and used by professionals. If you want that reality, you have to tolerate that unprofessional people are sometimes going to be part of the surrounding conversation for some projects.

In short, if the NPM maintainers hate this, they can modify community rules or remove spammy posts. And if they don't hate it, then I don't really get what the big deal is about allowing people to be unprofessional when talking about code -- other than maybe arguing that Github should have better filtering tools for readers.
Why Talk about Compensation?
That Tesla’s market cap is anywhere close to Toyota’s should give you pause, given the difference in scale and market penetration of the two companies.

Look, I’m a firm believer in the “market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent” and especially in our post-2008, QE money printing, Saudi sovereign wealth fund, unmoored-from-reality present. So honestly, who knows how it will all pan out. Maybe we now just live in a hyperreal future where Musk’s marketing shenanigans are materially equivalent to the solid fundamentals and record of a company like Toyota. Could very well be.

It's false. The infotainment computer (MCU) is separate from the autopilot computer. You can even reboot the MCU while driving on autopilot and autopilot will keep chugging along happily--though I very much don't recommend doing this since you lose all your feedback from the car (speedometer, audio, ...) while it's rebooting.

There are two versions of the MCU and 3 or 4 versions, depending on how you count, of the autopilot computer.

One might argue that there is plenty of human feeling in this bot-art. After all, it's trained on art with human feelings. Seems like it might be a very effective way to propagate it.

But also is probably 6 years ahead in problems and issues related to bugs in design and software. Ie, recent news about wearing SSD that is causing already and will brick every Tesla model available, problems with updates, etc.
Also, security risks have to be considered with such vehicle.

It's not that Toyota or VW can't afford in software/hardware research - because they have more than enough resources for this. Those are the biggest car manufacturers in the world. They simply price more reliability. Especially Toyota is good example for that, their models are usually 3-5 years in "gadgets" behind VW group or Korean makers, but their cars offer solid reliability and usually they simply drive for years without much troubles.

Another example of how Tesla is ahead:

IIRC, the issue is legibility more than eyestrain (though they are related) and light themes are still better with normal vision, but a majority of the adult population has one or more of the vision issues that reverse this (astigmatism being the main one, and alone accounting for nearly 50%.)

Sure there are drawbacks, but they can be mitigated to some extent by engineering, and we're not in a position to be choosers about it. Airplanes were also all of those things before enormous amounts of engineering investment started being poured into it, continuing incremental improvements across 100 years.

The question is not "how can we keep our air travel habits?" after all.

You can't control the temperature in a car all the time. A car left outside in the south-west US will get very hot. Often up to 80 degrees C (170F). It's a greenhouse.

Likewise a car parked outside in Montreal in winter might reach -40 degrees C (-40F) inside.

Your electronics need to work through that entire temperature range, cope with repeatedly thermally cycling between extreme and room temperature and then keep doing it for more than 10 years.
It probably started as a side project that would specifically let them experiment with those technologies.

I don't get why we need these Markdown "flavors". Most Markdown renderers allow you to pick and choose different extensions, and graphs have been possible in Markdown for a long time with things like Mermaid, which I think does graphs a lot better than this time consuming ASCII-art format.
Agreed, I have a 2019 Model 3. My car does have a few panel gaps that are not the exact same width from one side of the car to the other, but you are literally talking about a millimeter or two here or there, no one would ever notice. I've never heard of anyone complaining about the paint job on a Tesla, the paint on ours looks perfect. The interior seats are super comfortable, probably the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in, and I've never seen any defects with the seats either.

Overall Tesla's customer satisfaction is really, really high. Most owners are extremely satisfied with their cars, even if they have a few warts. They really are the Apple of the automotive world.
Interesting, yet, I think diagrams require a graphical editor that can be used to author and modify diagrams. I’ve done plenty if ASCII-art-ish things in embedded/FPGA code (example: timing diagrams.

BTW, I use MarkdownPad with live side—by-side preview. Love it.

I agree, but maybe it’s syntax. MermaidJS has pretty quick and easy syntax that makes whipping up diagrams simple enough for me to convert.
> but Vue is generally considered more pleasant to develop for

If you live in the Vue bubble then of course you will get favorable opinions. I've been using both React and Vue for a couple of years and I don't think "Vue is generally considered more pleasant". Some people prefer one, some people prefer the other.
The price dropped 20% between Feb 12 (when the network was shut down) and today, so I wouldn't call it "barely". I'm guessing all the current owners don't really care about the fundamentals so something like this isn't going to affect their outlook.
It is not; I invite you to study it before you reject it.

> There's no API for controlling them apart from a CAN bus which is barely documented, not wireless, not routable over networks, can't even deliver video feeds, and dates from 1986.

Is it ironic that this post was posted using tcp/ip dating from much before 1986.

Yes, it would be nice if it was open sourced or documented outside obd2 interpreters. (Though much of it is documented for an industry insider paying fees) or if it openly supported higher bandwidth.

No reason why a 20'x8' low voltage system needs wireless, especially given that similar systems often exist < 1' a way.
Don't you still need to learn the native API when you do anything beyond a simple UI?
Interesting, but why would you think any of them ever thought that making an electric car would be easy?
I think this criticism is a bit off. We can see that there are places in the world today where the government and financial systems are really fucked, but people do use crypto, so it is conceivable that sort of situation will spread and take over the developed world. But it would be the new dark ages, not a glorious future. If it did happen, my hope is that like everything these days it would happen faster and be over sooner.
I didn't downvote, but I'd say it's because of the statement that "Vue is generally considered more pleasant to develop for" which seems totally anecdotal and subjective.
Read a Paper: Meaningful Availability
It's interesting.

We consistently see the "multi-tasking makes you stupid" fact from psychologists get attention every so often.

On the other hand, a high percentage of job listings, whether it be for a short-order cook or a software tester, or most jobs state something to the effect that they want a "good multi-tasker".

The reality is that we often have to wait for things to happen, for instance that short order cook might wait 90 seconds for something to heat up, or I might phone in a request to a vendor and take a few days to get resolution. Practically you have to stack up a few tasks to keep yourself at high utilization, but you have to limit the entry of new tasks to keep your utilization well under 100%.

Betelgeuse is really huge, comparable to the size of the orbit of Jupiter. I'm not an astrophysicist. It seems like that size would make surface asymmetries more likely.
This feels very much like a marketing fluff piece pushed by Tesla PR.

Take this gem: "Young companies like Tesla, on the other hand, are not shackled to suppliers and are free to pursue the best technologies available."

Try the automated windscreen wipers on any big car brand, they're mostly made by Bosch and they work, even on a 15 year old car. Then Tesla came along with their own approach, guess what, they didn't work for more than a year on any second generation model S because they switched from buying a working module to creating their own in software.

After having driven a model S for a while I'm very much a Tesla sceptic. Because I noticed I was accepting a lot of things from them that I would never have from BMW or Audi. When the "this is a cool innovation" feeling goes away, you're looking at a very mediocre car that can't compete in the price range that it's in.
Quebec is often feeling disregarded culturally by the rest of Canada, or just seen as "that one area where people don't speak English" even though it is the most bilingual province of Canada by a decent margin [0]. There's also additional bad blood between provinces historically in Canada and a lot of debates that are quite specific to the country, which I don't have the ability to explain properly here.

They're also older than the rest of the country by a good amount of time (I seem to recall Montreal celebrating its 375th birthday during Canada's 150th[1]). And there's definitely a culturally French element to it: being defensive of the French culture and language is not exclusive to Quebec, see the Toubon Law [2] introduced in 1994 forcing 40% of songs on the radio in France to be in French. There's been a lot of pushback to lower the percentage these last few years, while at the same time arguably french-language rap and hip-hop is at an all-time high most likely in big part thanks to that very same law [3] [4, in french]
So in a way you can see why being defensive of the language is mostly a reaction to the shift in dominant language throughout the world, in this case coupled with the good old nonchalant attitude that is part of the French heritage.

APL and K does fit mine, J doesn't.

Perhaps it would help you to start with K (e.g. https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok is free, has a web repl with interactive graphics and stuff)

In a way, K is a cross of C and APL; K is the essence of APL minimized to the absolute minimum usable subset, even though less pure; e.g. complex values are not part of the language, and matrices only as vectors of vectors (unlike APL/J where you can have either). It also does away with user defined operators and a lot of other stuff.

I think that there is going to be a limit to the intersection of ‘relatively simple markup for human authors’ and ‘can represent complex text formats’. For instance, TEI xml can do what you want (in fact, TEI markup for Shakespeare already exists), but of course it is a little more cumbersome, unless you are working in a good xml editor. And then, there is no good way to translate that back to HTML.
Toyota has this with Toyota Connected, a wholly-owned subsidiary that's pushing software/mobility/advanced applications across the Toyota product lines.

They make it quite clear in their public conversations that Tesla-style innovation rates are the goal, but in private conversations lament that they're stuck working in a 3-year product cycle due to the innovation rates in their supply chains (as most of the specs and hardware are generated in collaboration with external suppliers).

As a sibling comment mentions, this structure also creates lots of resentment in some of the traditional Toyota departments who are being disrupted by this.

> but if you had good internal politics, you wouldn't need a new division either.

I don't know if I agree with this unless you mean to define "good internal politics" as internal politics that drives a company to self-disrupt.

As shown by the article, self-disruption isn't possible as a big company because the friction of changing things like supply chains and other capital. You really need to start another company that, in a sense, competes (and sometimes at least for a time complements) the larger company. Good internal politics would help to not squash internal competition, but it isn't, I think, enough to purposefully set up that competition.

An interesting part is that in her mother’s letter, she says that even if her daughter had lost her mind/faculties that she’d end up in some ‘institution’.
