Here's CR's description of their methods, they include caveats re: new models and changes between model years:

>About Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Surveys
The latest Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Surveys, gathered information from the organization's members on more than 300,000 vehicles from model years 2000 to 2021. Members filled out online surveys in the spring and summer of 2021. CR’s reliability predictions are based on overall reliability for the past three model years, provided the vehicle has not been redesigned. One or two years of data will be used if the model was redesigned in 2021 or 2020. CR bases its reliability analysis on data gathered from CR members each year about problems they had with their vehicles in the past 12 months. CR’s team of statisticians and survey researchers, then analyzed trouble areas and created an overall reliability score for each model and year. Serious problem areas that can lead to expensive repairs are more heavily weighted. More information can be found at www.CR.org.

“The Ford Foundation is not connected to the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Foundation and Ford Motor Company are two separate and legally unrelated entities whose operations are completely independent and have been for more than 50 years. There is not any financial authority, decision making nor funding relationship between the two organizations.”

I've owned a Tesla model S for about seven years. I really enjoy the feeling of driving it, but I don't think I'd buy a Tesla again given the experience of owning it.

In that time I've dealt with:

Several "opportunities" to go "full self driving". This specific vehicle is running up on a decade, there is no way it'll materialize for this car.

Weird sensor bugs - doors refusing to open, or more scary, opening while driving.

Center console and driver gauges crashing - screens locking up and going blank and service tells me, 'try deleting some of your navigation history?'

Updates sometimes failing, leaving the car sending notices that it's trying to update and can't, over and over.

Windows that don't seal, or seal too high (making it difficult to open the door).

Being told the built in 3G modem will have to be scrapped and replaced at my expense, requiring a whole new entertainment unit (including a new screen).

Worse battery life than expected, despite being a cautious driver who babies that battery pack.

Odd software bugs - it regularly double sends garage door commands, thinks the wrong key is in the vehicle (resetting the drivers seat to the wrong profile), fails to make and maintain Bluetooth, makes bad navigation assumptions (no, I'm not trying to drive to Prague from Seattle), back up camera locking up/freezing/delayed.

Tons of fit and finish issues.

When I first had the car, I was treated like royalty by their service team. These days they often brush aside concerns ("there's a recall for my vehicle", "oh? Yes. We'll contact you when we can service it." Months pass. "I never heard from you, is my vehicle still recalled?" "Yes, but you didn't schedule service. You should have scheduled.")

Supercharger network is great... When you can use it. I've had several instances where the hardware didn't work, the speeds weren't correct, or people were idling with full batteries, blocking my use.

So, all in all, I love this car and I hate this car, and it's just obnoxious and frustrating enough to warrant looking elsewhere. The things that make Tesla unique are fading as other manufacturers catch up, and frankly, I trust those other manufacturers to assemble a better car.
This is not surprising. Tesla is notorious for pushing QC on to the purchaser and fixing all the faults after the fact. Everyone I know who owns a Tesla has had some sort of problem that they had to get fixed almost immediately after purchasing.
Any energy weapon seems unlikely.

I recall asking a signals intelligence person once if jamming is ever a problem on battlefields. He said no because any jammer is emitting a signal and that tends to also say “fire missile here.”

Same would apply in this situation I would guess.
You always need a counterparty to back your dreams.

The dreams could be reachable or just a figment of the counterparties imagination.

Softbank happened to be the best counterparty at that time for many outlandish claims and imaginations.

Like the dog walking app. Or the super successful exit of Slack.

-

But everyone in tech always knew WeWork was NOT a tech company.

There were comparable publicly listed companies like Regus as compcos.

Softbank is a grown up company with many "successful" MBAs etc.

They all knew what they got into. The greater fool theory always works till you are the greater fool.
I hope it was clear from my earlier post that I am arguing "No" for your questions above, especially regarding C++ and Rust. This doesn't necessarily mean I don't think great software cannot be built with these languages, but rather I do not see them as the future.
That's outrageously wrong.

The M1 is no small chip itself but it is very good for power/efficiency while still having top class performance. AMD's solution also from last year (but on a worse TSMC node than the M1) isn't that far behind in the power/efficiency space and also holds about the same level per core performance.

Intel, which hit a brick wall about 10 years ago when the competition disappeared due to AMD's Bulldozer, is finally responding to both of those chips from last year and while it has been able to pull some decent performance improvements for once it definitely dipped into the power bucket for a lot of that gain. I wouldn't count that as proof x86-64 is unable to compete in high performance high efficiency computing anymore - I'd hold my judgement until Zen 4 and "M2" (or whatever it will be called) release around this time next year as it seems each will be a really big update for each chip. Who knows, maybe Intel will have something new by then too now that they have actual competition again.

The motherboard price situation was similar when Zen 3 CPUs came out. In a few more months, B- and H- series motherboards should come out with more reasonable prices.

At the moment, if you're living a US city with a Microcenter, you can apparently get Asus Z690M-Plus Prime DDR4 for $170 if you buy it together with a CPU.

I don't think that's strictly true. There are books/projects that one can do in other languages to get acquainted with ML -- there's nothing that _strictly_ ties it to python, at all.

Would it open doors? sure! -- and it may make more sense to invest in learning python first. But it probably makes sense to do that learning in some domain that you already know, so you can gauge how effective/correct you're being.

I'm sure there's some adversarial combination to be found where the mantra doesn't apply, but in practice, it's done me a world of good.

I think these changes are occurring solely because their business model is moving from hardware margin to services margin.

They would rather you stay in the Apple ecosystem and consume more services than get annoyed and jump ship.
Yes, and that was the case back when the model S was the highest-scoring car on their rankings as well.

It has no bearing considering CR's untarnished reputation around conflicts.
Ah yes, the Pferdefleischskandal. Apart from the lie on the label (Etikettenschwindel) I'm still ambivalent about it. Because from time to time I pass butcher shhops advertising horse meat, and in larger supermarkets it's a speciality canned like corned beaf, usually from Poland.

> During the cold war, the US embassy in Moscow was permanently radiated by microwaves, presumably by the Soviets. No one knows exactly why, but the speculation is that it was for surveillance or counter-surveillance and not designed to cause health damage.

Is this really a “no one knows” situation? The Great Seal bug[1] was in the Moscow embassy and it needed microwave irradiation to function. We also know that the USA suspected that their new embassy building had similar devices planted in the walls. [2]

Thanks, but I guess I just don't understand how this concept - negative rights are things that the state shouldn't take away from you - fits the concept of a "negative" right given here [0]. Following that definition, negative rights require that some actions are not allowed - the government/state (i.e, society?) takes these actions away.

I was a high school dropout working in a skate shop in the mid 90s, teaching myself web design via view-source, and the owner of the shop asked if I could build him a little website for the store. This was back when only big companies had websites, so him having one for his little skate shop was mind blowing to everyone. I had no idea what I was doing... just copy/pasting various bits I liked from big websites like Microsoft.com or telco websites as they had the "nicest" sites at the time.

It got me poached by a media company who was all-in on the dotcom boom hype and convinced we'd all be billionaires within a year. They paid me stupid amounts of money (for a dropout skater who refused to wear a button up shirt to work) and I cranked out crappy HTML templates for them to sell to people who had "an idea and some money", investing their life savings in the "next big thing". Always felt dirty working there, so I wasn't upset when they went bust and ended up owing millions to creditors and losing everything they had.

That all led to a 20 year career in web stuff for F500s and Government as I self-taught my way through web design, to graphic design, to front end dev, to back end dev, then to netsec. To this day I never finished school or got any qualifications, new jobs would come to me via old jobs. Something I think would be impossible in IT today.

I left tech about 10 years ago now and mostly work on old cars and be a dad, reading HN to see how much things have changed and for the nostalgia trips like this. It's insane seeing how different things are when it wasn't "that" long ago. I can't think of any other industry that can be so unrecognisable within such a short timeframe.

I think both date them using written records and I think they both started earlier than those records. So probably they started at around the same time? I really don't know. I just wanted to point out that the OP's argument doesn't seem valid.

> Honest question: do you really see people touch the level of their ac during a drive?

My GF has the climate control in the car set to the max (28C) and regulates the temperature by turning it on or off.

Part of the reason she hates the auto setting is that if it's not blowing hotter air over her, she feels cold. And she hates feeling cold.

However leave the climate control on a higher setting and the car ends up uncomfortably hot.

For her, the ideal climate control would be one which regulated fan speed rather than air exhaust temperature.

That said, in our BMW i3 the temperature target is a physical knob, easily controlled while driving. So there's that.
Fun fact:

"wing doors"

are as far as I know (which is not much) every (most?) cars which had wing doors had problems with them. Wing doors seem to generally be a bad idea as long as you don't put them on a "super expensive anyway super high maintenance" car (like some super-sport cars).
I elected to give my money to a company that is rapidly accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. Traded all of our Toyotas in for Teslas, wouldn’t look back. What would I tell my kids? “I was waiting for perfect fit and finish, sorry about the climate change.”

Our 2021 Y is flawless, and have no problems doing work myself on our older S and X. Your Lexus will burn petroleum forever, and Toyota has no interest in moving to EVs rapidly (and there is evidence they are actively lobbying against moving to EVs).
I am absolutely pro-vaccine in all circumstances, but you are not using the phrase "odds stacked against them" correctly.
One of the issue with structural types is compiler error messages.
By example, C++ templates are structural types and error messages are really hard to decipher.

Recent versions of Java (Java 8+) avoid structural types but provide structural conversions + inference.

We will see with the recent introduction of named records/tuples goes in the same direction or not.
Brilliant! I’m not sure why I haven’t seen that acronym before, but WET is the ideal balancer for DRY.
> Please try and have a foundation named Microsoft or Apple, see how fast you keep its doors open. No way in hell Ford would allow its name to be slapped on an unrelated foundation.

Largely because it'd be a jerk move and PR nightmare to obligate a rename given Henry Ford founded it, but if the two organizations are entirely distinct without even sharing common leaders or finances today, it's safe to say the risk doesn't exist.

Let's tone the conspiracies down a notch. CR also had the Ford foundation's involvement back when Tesla outscored every other car in CR's ranks.
The earth is already beyond the sustainable carrying capacity of humans. We have exterminated thousands of species and that's mostly without the effect of climate change. And that's just now, not even if we had everyone on earth with the living standards of an Australian or German or American.

Australia is already "big Australia", Australia's record on habitat and species destruction is horrific. It just astounds me that people would think doubling the population of western countries (or any country) would be a good idea.

I don't buy the "eugenics" equivalence, any more than you can connect any sort of policy or technology to genocide if you tried hard enough. By advocating for massive populations you are implicitly advocating for tiered class system of haves and have-nots in my opinion.
Mmm, perhaps. With the number of satellites around these days, everyone knows where ships are, all the time.

There's a big difference in technologies between making power and making a militarily useful weapon. If you want to develop the capability to do the latter, it's probably better to start from uranium ore than from piracy. It'll take quite a few years either way, and ore refining is more scalable.
I'm pretty sure if I dig back enough I'll be able to find stuff from the 60's with rapid dome construction based on styrofoam and concrete in it. It is definitely an interesting way to construct things, I know of a company that uses styrofoam loaded concrete for the fabrication of window frames for brick houses and there are probably a lot of other current applications for that.

Domes have - since Buckminster Fuller, really - been built from all kinds of materials, this is one of the more interesting combinations because it at least does away with all of the nasty seems at nasty angles that a 'normal' geodesic dome has. But some of the problems remain: windows and doors will always require either a special panel or be a bad match for the rest of the dome. The floorplan will pretty much ensure that there aren't any right angles anywhere, so furniture such as bookcases and such (but hey, who needs books... ok, wardrobes) will have to be custom made or placed inefficiently, or all around the center of the dome where they will have a big impact on light.

It's a super elegant concept, but it has problems. I built a small (8 meter diameter) dome in Canada as a spot to sit near the river that ran through our property, we didn't really get around to finishing it (just foil over wood & steel) but it blended in nicely, in a way that very little other buildings would and for that reason alone I'd love to build another one here in NL. But the problems with the shape have so far withheld me from doing it. It might also work well as an office.

https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/the-restoration...

Higher number of panels will approximate the dome shape better, will be easier to put up by a single individual, but will also cause more length of seam and hence more chance of springing a leak or rot in case of woodwork in the panels.
I think that subreddits work extremely well for finding people with similar interests, they're basically the perfect tool for that. Discord servers too. If anything, the issue is that they're too good, so I get addicted, and have to force myself to stop.

There could be some kind of solution, based on NLP, or maybe even just finding patterns and clusters in links. But it'd suffer from the same problem subreddits and google do - instantly getting hijacked by the spammers and SEO people trying to promote their stuff.

To the degree that having a popular blog is valuable, people will be motivated to find ways to promote it. And when people want to promote stuff, they'll try game whatever system is available. And so the system will have to implement the anti-spam measures, leading to moderation and probably banning most of the blogs.

Hmm... Maybe that's why we ended up with HN comments and subreddit text-posts working so well. Yes, you can't get the "networking" value out of them (because nobody cares about your username, and there's no such thing as subscribers), but it's not a bug, but a feature - without the personal value there's no incentive to game the system, so you just have people posting for the sake of the conversation.

But that would also mean that becoming even a "micro" celebrity will always be at least somewhat difficult - to the extent that it's valuable, there will be people trying to game the system, and measures trying to stop that, and competition.
I don't own a Tesla, but here's my pet peeve as a passenger:

When the driver opens their door, the driver's seat starts moving backward.

If you are sitting behind the driver, and have longer-than-average legs, this means your legs are now getting actively crushed by a motor.

If it's your first time in a Tesla, you are probably now panicking trying to figure out how to open the damn door, which inexplicably operates differently than every other car door in existence.

Not a pleasant experience. I've now learned to quickly and loudly remind the driver not to exit until I do when in this situation.
