> The car’s restraint control module, which can record data associated with
vehicle speed, belt status, acceleration, and airbag deployment, was recovered but sustained fire
damage. The restraint control module was taken to the National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) recorder laboratory for evaluation.

Also, the accident was less than two months ago, not two years. It's likely they're still recovering and analyzing data.
More likely that we adapt to it. There's nothing we can do once things get out of control on a planetary scale.

Wonder how he would do it in 2021. Also GLDoom was a project that started off of this but the source code was lost for 20 years due to a hard drive failure.
being sold out doesn't mean much when they produce such a low number when compared to other companies? ... Also, I'm not betting against electric vehicles but so many other companies are coming in the market very quickly.
I was very conscious of it, though admittedly living in London we had a concrete reminder in the South Bank.
Nope, plenty of CSS frameworks out there that don't try and make up their own tags.
That’s not quite accurate. When you’re talking about standby time in suspend-to-ram, RAM refresh is actually a non-trivial battery cost because it’s basically you’re only active power draw remaining. Which DIMMs have active memory pages is a partial function of memory usage.

So if your kernel woke up (let’s say after 30 min of suspend to ram) to try and see if it can reclaim physical DIMMs and mark them unused (shrink caches, reorganize pages, etc) you could get quite a big win on standby time. The trick is how to do this without actually hurting battery life (waking up can be expensive and there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to free up DIMMs) and preserving wake from suspend performance (if you’re phone is laggy on wake that’s an experience users will switch away from + you could eat your entire power savings paging back in).
They increase production rate ~100% YOY, and delivered ~500k vehicles last year. Berlin GF4 and Austin GF5 go live by the end of the year, Fremont is expanding.

Tesla is not without substantial fault, just not something I'd bet against. The markets will stay hopeful longer than one can remain solvent and snarky. The market is proven (see: this thread's title). People on HN complain (quality, autopilot, musk, cost, etc) while people with their wallets open (see sold out comment above) purchase Teslas even with the (well documented) issues the vehicles have.
You lost me at "driving progress in the world of atoms."

But seriously, it looks lovely.
The comments here are extremely negative...

Seems that no one can imagine an owner experience that triumphs their <favorite_brand> in nearly every way.

Tesla may not be for everyone, but those who own one, tend to love the hell out of them.
Can you explain?

Happy people are more likely to buy Tesla?
I think you're being overly pessimistic. It revolutionizes everything. Philosophy, science, math, linguistics, religion (maybe), computers, physics, art, history, music (maybe)...etc.

If they share their technology, it could allow us to leap hundreds or thousands of years in the future within decades.
You’ve described the ELT approach that is why dbt is taking the valley by storm.
Porsche GT3 owners are known to be very happy and financially successful also.
Oftentimes, people will say correlation does not imply causation, and this is mathematically true (imply means something different in regular parlance, and correlation can very well imply causation in that usage).

That being said, this is probably a case of putting the cart before the horse.
Yep. How is a startup supposed to compete when today's economy has resulted in fresh grads commanding $200k total-comp? Of course the answer is "you raise money!" so you can pay them "market-rates" at which point you may as well say fuck it and just get a job too because now you've given up so much equity and have such an aggressive burn-rate you're pretty well screwed from day one.
That first point is exactly what dbt (https://www.getdbt.com/) does. It's an amazing tool, with extremely well thought out developer ergonomics.
We could do it and simultaneously lift up the bottom & middle while taxing the very top to bring back at least a little balance.

That's why the proposed Infra and other bills are written to be paid for mostly with very high earner taxes and savings like beefing up IRS enforcement.

My concern is that if we pass say another 2-4T Republicans will revoke the .1% taxes and keep the spending.
> There is a reason why even the lowest of the city employees get paid six figure salaries

Er, they don't. The median, not lowest, pay for employees of the City and County of San Francisco is barely into six figures. [0]

The lowest pay categories (calculated by annualizing the biweekly max,so this is probably a slight overestimate) pay
$36,114/yr, which is far short of 6 figures. [1]

This varies based on exact hardware revision, software revision including OTA updates, and active settings at the time. I don’t think anyone but Tesla can make any definitive statement about the behaviour of any given car at any given point in time.
I too use my identity as a cudgel, except I am a philosopher.

> Only if you think that "diversity" is somehow abnormal.

I don't, and you chose the value-laden term "abnormal" instead of "demographically atypical". Convenient that you chose the term that I would never use and that makes your argument look less preposterous.

> Why is it a calculated move for companies like Google, whose CEO has brown skin, to have some of their advertisements include brown skinned people?

This implies that brown skin is an indicator of diversity. To use your method of reductio: ...only if you think that diversity is determined by superficial attributes like skin color.

> The real cynical move would be to make them all white to appease middle America.

You one-percenters in the Bay Area must be very insulated; appealing to "diversity" does appease middle America. You could never get away with all white characters now, and I'm sure you know that.

> Why do you feel the rest of us have to hide our existence to appease you?

False attribution.
It would require a prohibition on colonizing planets on which intelligent life might arise in the future. This would have to be enforced over the 4.5 billion years Earth has existed.
How exactly can you attribute certain actions to broad results like boosting sales x% YoY? I feel like its rare for someone to be in the position to know that well enough to say that without stretching the truth.

Maybe the secret sauce is that it's impossible to verify?
> The damage has been done... No real repercussions are to be found.

Their reputation is totally destroyed and they're so emotionally shattered that "learn to code" is a bannable offense on twitter... repercussions. Still waiting on those Russian piss-tapes.
100% agree, you can look at the demographics of Tesla owners, in one study they have the highest average credit score for approved auto loan [1] and they have over 100k+$ yearly incomes[2]. Presumably, if you're in that category, you're generally happier with life.

I’ve heard people say mid six figure (400-600) and high six figure (700+). If people just say six figure I expect 100-300k.

the GDC post-mortem of pitfall has some more info, and I found it pretty entertaining.

I think the whole series is worth watching if you like this sort of stuff.
I'm surprised this article does not discuss one of the most fundamental constraints facing all Atari 2600 games - the fact that the machine had no framebuffer and every programmer had to "race the beam".

You had to keep track of where the light gun of the tv was at every moment and if your program took too much CPU time to ... compute things ... you would miss changing colors, etc., as the beam went past ...

This is why all Atari 2600 games (like Pac Man) have graphics that seem weirdly, horizontally distended - the CPU wasn't fast enough to change color before the light gun got to the next pixel ...

All of this is beautifully explained in the wonderful book _Racing the Beam_ which is part of the MIT platform series and is one my favorite books on any subject.

To be fair, it was more your distinction of 'drug addict or not' which I'm commenting on, which is pretty revealing of your opinion on people who take a drug.
I didn't mean to imply that we should compare it to the 2021_in_literature Wikipedia page.

There are many thousands of successful authors living today. I'm wondering, how many were there in 1921?

This may well be true, even if you don't assume that Tesla owners are "smug" as some commenters are doing.

I've often thought that this is a major inherent problem with trying to estimate the "quality" of a product or service by taking the average of user reviews. If a product has high ratings, does that mean it's actually better than the alternatives, or does it mean it has flaws that cause the more discerning and critical consumers to gravitate to other options?

My understanding is recommendation systems can attempt to model and compensate for such biases. (At least, I recall seeing descriptions of how this was done way back in the Netflix Prize days.) But recommendation systems usually have their own issues with transparency and trustworthiness.

What I frequently want is the answer to a very simple question: of people who have tried both of two options I'm considering, what fraction prefer one over the other?
https://maizzle.com/ does that—of course, you'll then have to deal with using tables to layout content manually instead of using MJML's abstractions.
> Why are all the other planets round? Why does the earth cast a round shadow on the moon (vice versa for eclipse)? Why can you fly to India in either direction in the same amount of time?

Well, “round” can be an attribute of a plane; its typically referred to as a circle. A more descriptive term is “spheroid” but outside of a small set of long-distance navigation tasks the flat earth mental model is perfectly sufficient and computationally less expensive.
Less things to be unhappy about when you are well off.
Probably, or maybe because medium format and large format lens reviews does not get him enough traffic/sponsorships/street-cred.
For sure. My guess is that the slush pile count is exclusively of unsolicited, unfamiliar authors. Someone they've published before probably skips the pile.

I think they might be publishing stuff their core audience really likes, btw. It's just that audience is probably a niche.
Personal opinion, but my only gripe with Tesla is their low build quality (or at least, last time I checked one out), if I'm going to shell out that much money, I'd rather add a little extra and go with Porsche. But, I'm pretty happy with what they've done for the EV industry as a whole.
Saw someone propose recently shutting off twitter_com for a bunch of days, or a few weeks, to give the entire globe a break. Now this from 2016 resurfaced. Maybe it has a better fit in today's world.

We had two of these OLPCs for a while. I'm very glad I was able to play with them.

There were many remarkable innovations in the system, but the most striking to me was the mesh WiFi.

The kids took these up to the family ranch for a bit. Our one internet connection was in the house down by the pond; the main old ranch house didn't have it.

But an OLPC up at the big house could always get a strong "wifi" connection, as long as the other OLPC unit was down at the pond. Up to 1km.

(Not strictly 802.11, was an additional spec, but it just worked.)
I agree with you in theory. Theory often fails to survive the first contact with the enemy (reality) though.
I wonder how much of this is "Baby's first EV".

My Model 3 was my first EV and while I like the Tesla features a lot, a huge portion of the love is being able charge at home and never go to a gas station (except for the occasion propane refill).

Once you get used to driving an EV (very smooth acceleration, silent, etc.) driving a gas car as a commuter is a bit less appealing.
If we stop using plastics, the existing oil wells don't magically disappear. We can use it for fuel, and it should be cheaper, because there's less competition for it.
And now you are being offensive — This is a wild claim, and use of HSMs would prevent simply handing keys over in such cases. The most popular CA is let’s encrypt, it is offensive to claim that they are compromised, or that they have not taken steps to build a system that was difficult to compromise. One could argue they could be compelled to sign an arbitrary csr, however this would be detected by the CT infrastructure, and a big deal when discovered. You are free to act like everything is in the clear of course, but don’t cast negative FUD on good projects that actively protect the world. Trying to convince the world TLS trust system is hopeless broken is a very dangerous conspiracy theory to be peddling.
Incredible that each room in Pitfall is represented by just 1 8-bit byte.

That's what makes these old games fascinating, producing results under extreme constraints.
This isn't bad advice, it just glosses over the reality for most people applying to jobs where their role isn't in massive demand (i.e. not a SV dev/prod mgr). I routinely screen dozens of resumes a month for a wide variety of semi-technical roles and have been through the ringer on the other side more times than I care to think about.

The #1 thing* that will get you to a phone screen is keywords that match what the hiring manager (and usually the screening software) is looking for. Those keywords are usually a combination of technologies, skills, responsibilities, and companies. Yes, where you worked previously is important, and yes that makes it a vicious cycle for a lot of people.

The #2 thing that most hiring managers look for is directly relevant experience matching the responsibilities of the role in question. Yes, that sucks because it means if you haven't yet gotten to the level of doing the work in the new role then you're at a disadvantage. The way around this is to ask for responsibilities at your current job that you want to do at your next job.

The advice in this article tends to come into play after those two factors are met.

*excluding an internal referral.
People are down voting you for some reason, but you're not wrong, but I also think the part about driving a sunk cost fallacy is not specific to Teslas.

I know probably at least seven people who bought expensive two-seat performance cars that run on premium fuel and use very expensive tires that wear out quickly, in addition to other costly maintenance items, and they absolutely are the definition of a sunk cost fallacy.

The majority of the people I know with such cars that have found them to be expensive and impractical are unwilling or unable to sell them because they don't want to admit to themselves that buying the thing in the first place might have been a mistake. They all ended up buying another much more practical car (corolla, civic, etc) and using that for most daily purposes.

My opinion is that this phenomenon can be seen with almost any very expensive status symbol car. Not just Teslas.

Probably a $120k model S is a better example than a $35-45k model 3, but even so...
It is truly strange how much hate Tesla seems to get from people. I recently bought a model Y. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best car I have ever driven, or even been inside of.

1) It's fast (very fast).

2) It looks great.

3) The in vehicle display looks fantastic, and is extremely responsive. It feels like the difference between using an iPad or using a cheap ($50) android tablet from aliexpress.

4) The in vehicle speech commands are excellent.

5) The autopilot is excellent.

6) The mobile app is excellent.

If you are seriously confused as to why Tesla owners are so fanatical about their cars: go drive one.

It shouldn't surprise people that these vehicles are sold out for the near future. They're actually just that good.
Those seem like reasonable objections, but at the same time, the companies implementing these are probably the least susceptible to those problems.
Sure:

* People with more money are more likely to buy a Tesla

* People with more money are more likely to be happy
From my own anecdata, the people buying Teslas are all well to do young professionals that I’d expect to be generally happy because they’re missing one of the biggest causes of life stress (financial).
I've owned a Model 3 for over a year. It's ok. I had a rough idea of what I was getting into but the amount of "software" problems I've run into...

Every software update breaks something.
The rear view camera sometimes just blacks out, requiring a soft reboot of the car.
Side cameras will just stop working in the middle of a drive.
The radio sometimes doesn't work. Requires soft reboot.
Speaker volume levels randomly maxing out.
Phantom breaking on empty highway on a perfectly clear day.
Trunk randomly opening in the middle of the night (seriously, multiple times). It's in a garage but wtf
Charger door cycling non-stop with nothing connected. Fix? Soft reboot.

Every time I've had to contact Tesla for anything (buying the car/service issues/wall charger issues) the people have been friendly but unbelievably disorganized.

It's a fun car to drive but there are some serious issues.
> and since their doors aren’t mechanical you’re stuck inside once the battery dies

Tesla's front doors have internal mechanical levers that can be used in the case of power loss.
I'd say the production quality has gone up but the material quality has pretty much stayed the same.

The interiors are just not very premium. The new S/X have some more modern niceties, but even they have very slimmed down interiors.
My wife loves hers (Model 3 Performance), warts and all. She loves not having to get gas. Lots of other things, but generally it’s just a car she loves. Very fast, easy to move around in traffic, etc. she’s IoT even a Musk/Tesla fan girl. Just likes the car. I’m less impressed, but for the price it’s a great vehicle. I’m not even slightly surprised by this.

Storing half a year's worth of hydrogen? That seems... improbable to be viable any time soon.
And the counterpoint is that Instagram is great. A dozen people got the $1bn buyout, a few years of Facebook vesting and moved on.

The general distribution of all products suck. Has nothing to do with the speculators that consider their $0 par value shares to be part of their portfolio.

“Let them…”, “Make them…”, etc. I get the impression the author thinks “neurotypicals” should handle autistic people like pets or slaves.

I think the author confuses a literal spectrum of behaviors with their clinical labels. The DSM is a diagnostic tool, not a catalog of identity labels.
Non-extinction scenarios are still bad. People will survive but many will perish. Also, we have more technology but we may be more fragile as our 'efficiency oriented economy' show us.
Its arbitrary cause there is no RFC about the ah-hoc choices email client softwares have made over the years that have kinda become de facto "standards"
Yeah, but despite his certainty the usual disclaimers about initial investigations apply. I think the officers weren't thinking about how many people would pick up on their words.
One thing that fixed a lot of the "need a reboot" issues I was having was turning off Sentry mode at home. This allows the car to actually "deep sleep" where as before my car was humming along 24/7.

Maybe it's a placebo, but it seemed to help!
I don't think you need to get the attribution exactly correct. Rather, you need to be able to defend how you arrived at a metric.

You can walk through the assumptions you made then build up the components of those assumptions to arrive at an estimated impact.
>Why penny pinch on pay and risk having employees that might not be as good?

Because they can afford to not pay you as well, and your value ( or rather, the "damage" caused by the not-so-good employee) is hard to prove.
This is BS for you because you never faced reality where you simply cannot make assumptions, but must use references (this how knowledge is built over generation) such documents establish clear shared understanding to avoid situation like 10 people have 10 different opinions; what is or what is not an specific thing.
The first sentence in your article that you linked states that in one year in the US alone, 560 civilians burned to death in fires.

This sounds like you just have a bone to pick with Tesla. Their doors can be opened when the battery dies.
???

I don't understand.

Drug addicts DO exist. And they have a hard time landing jobs because of that. If anything, I helped them and allowed them to have the same opportunity as others without those issues. And they performed well, so I don't see the issue, honestly.
This looks neat. Writing tip for the person speaking (or captioning): starting a sentence with "so" makes you come off like...something I don't have the word for, but it's bad. Don't do it. Condescending? Demeaning? It's like you don't think your audience is capable of following. I had to stop watching after four sentences in a row started that way.
The build quality is fine. Tesla gets crazy press and gets extra scrutiny whereas others get a pass at this stuff.

Also I don’t why you’re comparing it to a Porsche when this article is about Model 3. There’s no Porsche you can buy for $40k. If you’re comparing it to a Model S or X, they don’t really have the same build quality issues that came up for Model 3 and Y since they’re made at much lower volume and cost much more.

> Twitter does not use me any more. I use Twitter. I use it logged out. I use it intentionally, and on the schedule I set, and for the duration I choose...

That is to be celebrated, for sure!

But, I have to say: an even healthier relationship to something you think is fundamentally bad is to not engage with it at all. Twitter is totally optional and voluntary; you don't need to negotiate on how little you use it, you can just quit.
I left games 24 years ago in large part over pay. The work itself I loved doing, but it was never going to let me buy a house nearby or retire. I’m glad I did as I don’t think the was enough extra enjoyment over being able to enjoy other work (albeit less) but have some amount of financial security.
