I don't understand why automakers aren't taking traditional small ICE vehicles and throwing the electric components in it. Besides having to spread the weight of batteries out a bit, is it really much harder (I'm not an engineer by any means)?

I'd love to see an EV version of the boring Corollas; Civics; Fits; Imprezas; or Yaris out there, instead of them doing... whatever it is they're doing (mostly redesigning everything bigger and, in my opinion, uglier). I think to me, and to a lot of people, a car is just a car to get them from A to B, and don't want it to set them back $30-$40k.

Except for a few Chevy Bolts and Nissan Leafs out there, the vehicles on the road seem to be Teslas and larger, fancier makes from traditional ICE manufacturers.
Any juicy stories?
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean home purchases are more affordable. For example, $1M home at 3% interest(30year) = ~$4200 monthly payment. $800k home at 6% interest = $4800 monthly payment.

It just means more of the home is going to pay interest, and less is going to the seller.

Body panel fit is a pretty common complaint with Teslas (and is definitely an issue, my own has gaps in some areas but none that I deemed extreme, I’ve seen some bad ones out there though). That would be an example of something that, IMO, can only be perfected with time. The body panels might be similar to other cars, but it’s something that each manufacturer is going to have different issues with because of the variability.

I don’t think I’ve really seen many criticisms of commonly available parts used in Tesla cars. The one big one that comes to mind would be the eMMC recall which, similar to what I said above, Tesla figured out after years of heavy writes to the component. It’s something that could have been avoided had there been some centralized group to give best practices for automotive or industrial development but that just doesn’t really exist.

Agreed about the performance. I even think this feature is cool (I don't use Copilot to write code, but happily pay the $120/year just for the time saved writing docs (the kind colocated with code, like rustdoc, JSDoc, etc) and unit tests, so I'd like a trained model fuzzy logic bot helping me with notes/docs too).

But there is no feature at all that could excite me about Notion now unless they fixed the performance first.

I stopped using it due to performance also.
> For example, the post actually makes a mistake when mentioning macOS doesn’t have Alt+TAB window switching. It does. You just have to do Alt+’.

Alt-Grave is not Alt-Tab. Alt-Grave only cycles between windows for a particular app. Standard Alt-Tab behavior should cycle through all possible windows. Apple copied the behavior incorrectly.

is the best one, it has way less mental overhead comparing with the end result.

If they actually did this, it's nice that they leaked their playbook.

Advice for future leakers:

1. Ask your co-worker to forward you that email (because you "accidentally deleted it"), and diff to your copy, so you know if your employer is cosplaying as the CIA.

2. Retype everything before leaking or leak crappy photos of documents on your screen (or better yet, both).

3. Leak to a journalist and make them promise to only describe or quote the documents you're sharing, and not sure the literal files. A lot of this CIA cosplay won't work without access to the leaked file.
I'm not very close to the core of EA, so maybe my perspective is not the most accurate, but one thing that I feel sets EA apart from other movements is that EA people generally are happy to disagree and change their mind based on good ideas/arguments/evidence from anyone inside our outside EA. For example:

I attended a small, private, religious, non-Montessori school through middle+high school.

While the atmosphere wasn't toxic like I hear people say about public school, few of my peers were interested in learning, excelled academically, etc.

A non-negligible portion of the kids in my school were the ones kicked out of the public school for grades or troublemaking. I think they did better at my school, but that population affected the academic experience. My brother went to another nearby religious school and it was the same.

My school was caught in a loop of poor funding -> sub-par teachers -> less enrollment -> less funding.

I expect a school focused specifically on self-actualization and skill-building to have better results than an arbitrary private school.

It's not necessarily individuals. From what I saw years ago there are tons of project kicked off to see if they pan out but are probably not going to succeed. The company has some core teams around retails, mobile and AWS that do the majority of the table stakes work. The rest is a lot of team doing things that may or may not have any value. My pessimistic view is that required teams are like 10% of the company leaving 90% of maybe useful. That isn't to say the 90% should be let go. If they did you'd see no growth but it's unclear how much of it is actually useful. In good times that's fine, in rougher time they have to reduce that extra a bit.

>>Unionization is no different from giving someone else control over your paycheck.

Most people would do anything to have the privilege to work at a company like Twitter. Even with insane productivity standards that Musk demands. People grind their bodies for way less and non-meaningful labor work. Here you get an opportunity to gain skills and competence which you can immediately use as your career progresses.

There is a reason why unionising hasn't caught up in Tech. Firstly most employees don't stay long enough for any meaningful thing to happen. But beyond that, unions just transfer your responsibility to career managers, who have no stake in seeing you do good in real way. Sure they might negotiate a little better pay and benefits. But they have 0 interest in making you truly better, like better skilled, educated and trained on the longer run. Which has more potential to unlock better opportunities.

In fact competent employees run contrary to the goals of a union. This is for several reasons. They threaten the existing leadership structure of the union, and if that isn't the case, they are likely to move jobs and that means one less paying employee for the union structure.
Not only the time to boot, but also if you don’t run tests selectively, you’re already too slow.

> The problem for Twitter is that politicians and celebrities don't really want to hang around on a platform where they have to deal with abusive content all the time.

Maybe. At a certain point, that's probably true, but are we close to that?

Sometimes you have to look at what people do, not what they say.

It costs a celebrity nothing to say nice things about seeking peace and love and opposing hatred and wanting to fight all of the "hate speech" and "cyber-bullying" they see. In fact, they gain social capital for saying these things, so if you're a celebrity, you're effectively "leaving money on the table" by not talking in a certain way about certain topics.

But it costs a celebrity a lot to actually leave a platform where they have some world-shaping influence. My guess is that most celebrities would figuratively crawl through a field of broken glass to get their fix of attention and kudos from their supporters.

Elon has completely failed to communicate what he means by "freedom of discourse". Judged by his actions so far it seems like it means "mostly the same as Twitter's existing policies, but you can't impersonate people and you especially can't impersonate Elon".

It honestly seems like he hasn't thought about the problem deeply enough to have a coherent vision here. We'll see, I guess.

That's....okay? Most home prices are up well over 20% over the last couple years, so no real net loss for anyone that bought before the pandemic. Most likely, the folks that bought at the peak will feel squeezed for a bit, and might be slightly underwater (which feels terrible), then time and inflation will even this out over a couple years.

It does suck for anyone who's in a position where they _must_ sell their property right now, and not buy another one. It sucks, albeit somewhat less, for someone who got a nice APR on their mortgage and needs to move; their purchasing power is reduced, and they'll pay a premium on the new mortgage until the market's in a place that refinancing will make sense, which could be a while.

But we're not seeing a 2008 right now, or a 50%+ drop in valuation, or anything crazy like that. We could get there! That would be scary! But this feels more like a correction than "tanking".
I bought in 2016, and, if Zillow is to be believed, its resale value has increased by over 30% in that time. That's crazy, right? The minor improvements I've made in the last few years can't possibly be worth that much. Philly is not a 30% nicer place to live than it was 5 years ago, to put it nicely. If prices go down and I'm "only" up 10% over when I bought that's still pretty good.

Asset prices, particularly homes, have been puffed up by ZIRP and other factors for a long time, and are overdue for a correction.

Is the hostility really necessary?

Tesla doesn’t release detailed changelogs outside of their FSD betas, so guesses are the best thing you’re going to get short of an insider telling you.

The fact that a software update is specifically highlighted in the FAQ of this recall does indeed suggest that said update would improve on or fix the issue. Otherwise why would it have been called out at all?

Whether you choose to believe it does is up to you, but I don’t really see what else you’d expect someone without inside knowledge to be able to provide here.

A wartime CEO doesn't usually start the wars.
He keeps firing even the engineering staff that survived the first wave of layoffs. It seems like a stretch on his part to think that those left (who, again, just watched a ton of their colleagues/friends be laid off or summarily terminated) are going to put up with the promise of even worse treatment going forward.
But why do they need this from public school over say any other social ... activity (?). For example sports.

I am genuinely questioning whether public school makes children socially mature rather than only being a traumatic experience for many pupils, for no other reason than that public schooling is the default choice.
