Tesla/Musk held a presentation in 2019 (Autonomy Investor Day) where he said you would be crazy not to buy their cars, they will be the first appreciating assets and likely go up over $200K due to their robo taxi network going online across the nation in 2020. He said they would handle all human drivable conditions by then and that they just needed winter 2019 to finalize ice and snow autonomy.

They did turn out to appreciate, but so did the whole used car market, for very different reasons.
Why would you do something that embarrasses you? You're obviously well enough off if you were planning on having two Tesla vehicles. Get rid of your Tesla and bring your self in congruence with your virtues.
Nobody likes dicks. pg wrote about it here http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html

Elon became a dick. Maybe he was always one, maybe he became one. Punching down makes you a dick and he has been doing it again and again.

I'll add another data point of strongly preferring it. Check in early so you can board early so you can get a good seat. I'm fairly punctual and this system rewards me for that without needing to open my wallet, so I'm a fan.

That said I agree with the grandparent comment about avoiding them for the foreseeable future based on this fiasco. Hopefully they get it together at some point.
Nope. This has been tried with DeSo [0]

I think we are past the idea and experimentation phase to know that putting social networks on the blockchain is an extremely bad idea to begin with.

Apples and oranges yet again. Don't compare Tesla to others until others have more than 80% of their used inventory as EVs. Until then, it's apples and oranges.
I think we could easily go back to the days (not so long ago) when SF was a bedroom community for SV and working in SF was the reverse commute. SF could become a fun place to live and play again.
Apple already lists many limitations of their technology, and not everyone has the benefit of the knowledge of the limitations of each component of the devices. Many customers of the Watch have not even been around for decades plural.

We pay Apple to understand the internals they put in their watch, so they should be the ones to describe the limitations of their technology.
I wrote a net send script in high school that sent a pop up to every computer in the building… 500 times. Someone snitched on me. I regret nothing.

I was astonished last week again how bad GUIs for git are. Take VSCode: It encourages you to enter just the title of the commit message. That's the boring part for people used to describe WHY that change was made in the long message.

The best new software that I picked up and used this year was Alfred, the spotlight replacement on macOS.

I spent a few hours spread across the initial few weeks focusing on defining workflows and it has been such a breeze. It has been a huge productivity boost overall.

Another software I’d add is syncthing for syncing files between my devices. 2022 was also the year I completely removed my reliance on Dropbox for inter-syncing between all my devices and syncthing has been instrumental for that.
I could explain this as I was there many times - planning is not fun for a creator in passion.

The fun is to code some clever software solution and make it to work and show to friends or just keep for own pleasure, then boring stuff starts: user accounts, payments, maintenance, human contact, complaints, and here 99% of projects fail.
Stable Diffusion and its derivatives by far.

I have always thought that our digital world should service humanity, meaning I want software that augments my human abilities, I extract value from it vs how things are now where services only exist to monetize human activities.

For example: I want an AI mind that helps me discover and use information while factoring in my personal biases, morals and needs.

I know that reeks of idealism but it is what it is.

Meanwhile, we have stable diffusion which hits close to the mark. One of my hobbies is drawing and painting. I don't have a lot of time to commit to it so I try to be sure of the concept before I work on it. I find this to limit my creativity a lot, I get stymied on an idea "is this worth 40 hours of precious free time?"

With SD I am able to quickly iterate on concepts. Of course, its not giving me exactly what I have in mind but it gets close enough that I either renew inspiration or I see my concept in a new light and move on.

The fact that I can self host, tune and even retrain SD gives is super attractive. I sincerely hope more open source models like SD get released so I can build an personal AI ecosystem that meets my needs.
> a lot of early vegan meat alternatives were ghastly

I think most people dislike vegan food because vegans eat it. Not because of the food. Vegans have done a number on their appearance to the public. Most people seem to have the same experience: how do you know someone is a vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you! (and chastise you for wanting to eat a steak)

When I was in college every holiday, like clockwork, a brigade of vegans would descend on campus and hand out flyers explaining how problematic it was eating meat. You do that enough times and people just avoid anything associated with you out of spite.
I agree. I had a hybrid, ended up buying a Tacoma with plans to buy an EV in the future when there's more value per dollar in them. I'll probably continue to own both as I have use for a truck. There's a lot of unanswered questions about what to do with aging batteries, towing capacity is awful, and road trips in EVs are hairy. I've always viewed them as a rich city person's luxury toy.
Ban them on what grounds?

It's interesting, it seems at first somewhat gratuitous to have such a complex gamified system for something like running along city streets, and you can find yourself wondering why humans find such joy from following self-invented rules like this...

But then I think to myself: Let's consider the physiological side effects of this project -- the exceptionally great physical (at least cardiovascular) shape that you would end up with from doing anything like this...
- WSL: I had to do some work on windows boxes this years and was pretty impressed I could get Arch running with my usual setup and have extremely easy communication between Windows and the Linux env.

- Buku: Continues to be a fantastic little library for bookmarks in your terminal.

- NNN: A very extendable file browser in the terminal. It's become an easy way to wire up actions to files (like upload this file to a static bucket...etc)

- Pop Shell + Gnome: The perfect balance of "i need configuration" and "i want things to mostly just work well together". It's amazing how far the GNOME ecosystem has improved in the past two years.

- Mastodon: At the end of the day I'm pretty impressed that Mastodon has weathered the migration as well as it has. I can question some of the tech choices, but honestly, it only took me a weekend to learn how to set up and host my own instance on a cloud provider. There was years of work in the background that I just sort of walked into.

- Neovim: Continues to improve past Vim is good ways. It's been fun watching the ecosystem move and get so active over the past couple years.

- Alacritty: A very simple, configurable terminal. It provides everything I need, and nothing I don't.
Zotero. Once they added PDF annotation and improved their iOS app, became a great way for organizing and annotating PDF documents in a single place.
On a 6-year-old Android 6.0 box it is noticeably snappier than was 19.4, although on very new devices (Android >10) this is not noticeable to me. It was a drop-in replacement to the prior version with no reconfiguration required.
The GoLand IDE. Makes Go programming a breeze. Can't imagine programming in Go without it. Also used some of the other Intellij IDE's, including Intellij Idea (Java) and WebStorm (JavaScript). All very nice products.
depends on how close you wanna get to the servers, and then the hardware?

I suppose it's a super rare occurrence now, but back when I was starting on this, I would mess up my X server and was forced to fix it from the command line.
Then you run into local zoning. I for one would love more mixed zoning in neighborhoods on city boundaries, but too many entrenched interests at the moment
A former manager remarked to me one day that my one year old twins slept better than his 8 year old son. We've sleep trained all 3 of our children and I can't imagine our lives otherwise. I think we'd just manage to survive if they didn't sleep well and on their own.

> from creating a TikTok clone, but there sure as hell are laws stopping anyone from directly ripping the UI

This is contradictory.
I can't find the reference but, as I recall it was a drop from 65% pre-pandemic (that may seem low because pre-pandemic a lot of people still traveled or otherwise weren't in the office on a typical day) to around 40% these days. I'm told my workplace is quite a bit lower as well.
How many decades ago are we talking about?
Both aren't the problem here though.

Pixelfed used the exact same list of filter-names (image effects) as Instagram. Which is probably an oversight - I'd imagine its even a copy-paste from some hackernews/opensource/tutorial.

Neither the UI was ripped, nor the implementation cloned. It's all about the names used in a feature.
Reminds me of the day, obviously some years earlier, that a few of us aged about 10 years discovered *NOTIFY and even better, *REMOTE on the Econet connected Beebs we had at school.

Oh, here’s the manual (PDF), which we never read: http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Acorn/Manual...

It's a full IDE rather than a text editor with some IDE-like functionality. Most importantly (to me): much better refactoring tools and much better debugging tools.

No need to immediately hand over money, there's both a free 30-day trial, and you can regularly get an early access (i.e., beta) version of the new version for free.
It seems much easier to build an AI that helps less bright people to scam others than one that helps them to not get scammed.

One needs to provide clear instructions for a single good scam when explicitly asked to do so, the other would need to provide good defenses to any number of scams and be more or less self-activated.

There's also the matter of risks entailed by having large swathes of the population increasingly under the direct supervision of artificial minds (controlled by who?).

I suspect something like this will happen though, and that one of the key uses of artificial intelligence will be as both an offensive and a defensive weapon for deceit and manipulation. Indeed the offensive part would seem to be a natural continuation of the enormous resources poured into ml-driven engagement maximization and the quest for sufficiently politically correct AIs. As an example ChatGTP is evidently explicitly designed to lie about some things, including its own capabilities. I'm not sure what, if anything, currently exists on the defensive front.
Yeah, I meant WW1. Sorry about the mistake.

I guess calling the tow company is very effective at curbing the second behavior. I suspect peer pressure will reduce how commonplace it is over the coming years - I’m stretching the meaning of peer pressure here, but the risk reward is all out of whack in that your reward is an irritating but minor stunt and your risk is discovering your car is no longer where you left it.
I don't think so when the magnetic deviation can vary considerably over the course of a single leg, as it does near the geomagnetic poles.
Those are not the natural forms of any animal's meat any more than they are the natural forms of vegetables. What you actually seem to be saying is "How dare vegetarians prepare their food in similar ways to how I do?"

The idea that vegans are being sneaky with their foods is kind of funny considering the usual reputation of vegans is best captured in the joke "How do you know if someone is a vegan? Don't worry, they will tell you."

Are you just saying that Windows users longer need to use PuTTY or similar?

That sounds convenient but leaves me wondering what particularly about that quality of life improvement changes how you view Windows.
If more people used waze this would be a cool natural experiment: Does priming people to think a road is dangerous increase the number of crashes?

There are self-fulfilling prophecy type effects in psychology. I can see how making people more anxious could do that. Also could see how removing the more risk averse traffic from certain stretches of road, would make the traffic that remains more dangerous; fewer cars leading to greater speeds.

I feel like waze and other “people engineering” apps don’t fully grasp their responsibility in shaping human behaviors.
Given that Tesla's can take months to get repaired when they have even relatively minor mechanical issues, who in their right mind would be a used one?
Pirate streams of NHL hockey games seem to come from the source before it goes to the networks who overlay it with additional scoreboards, scores of other games, and other junk on the screen. When they cut to commercial, it goes to a sequence of black and white slow motion footage of ice and rink preparation. It looks like the placeholder that the networks then put their ads on top of during breaks.

Why is it not possible to pay for this version of the stream? Even if I sign up for ESPN through Comcast or whatever hoops I have to jump through to access live sports, I still get the version with the ads and screen junk. Pirate streams are higher def and just more pleasant to watch. Sometimes you can even choose streams with no commentation at all, just the sounds of the sport. Where are these options in the paid streaming service?
I said that if you don't associate with the crowds I'm talking about it doesn't matter.

Ironically pretending that we don't play social signaling games and critiquing others for playing them is itself a sort of social signaling game. These games can't be avoided because they are a fundamental part of human interaction, so much so that when we aren't good at playing those games for whatever reason we are unable to function properly in society and are pathologized as a result.
Seconded. Many of my random thoughts in Notes have become full-blown projects with great results. The best part is that I never even think about it, so it’s analogous to carrying a notebook around at all times. I’ve tried PKM apps like Obsidian and a few others, but none are quite as effortless or support drawing as well. I do wish the Pencil was supported on phones.
Did Lex hype it up?
It is usually better to have explicit returns.
I think his political turn is contributing to the collapse of his "reality distortion machine", returning his overinflated companies (with values based on fantasy expectations about the future) back to reality. His politics are the shock many people needed to start thinking critically about the entire situation.

Particularly, the FSD illusion is collapsing. People are starting to realize that "your car will earn passive income as a robotaxi" won't be happening and in no way justifies Tesla being worth more than car manufacturers who make orders of magnitude more cars.
PostgreSQL row-level security (which PostgREST defers to) is very flexible, more or less anything expressible as a SQL query can be used to filter what the user can see.

You can see an example here:
https://postgrest.org/en/stable/auth.html#roles-for-each-web...

The main downside of RLS is that complex queries may require hand-optimizing.
Eat & exercise like a medieval peasant to be healthy. Oil/fat, sugar, salt, starch (bleached and de-fibered flower) should be avoided. However, these things make food taste good. The ugly truth is healthy food is bland. Any "trick" wears out fast, as you grow tired of it.

Is he promoting free speech? Last I heard he had deleted a load of journalists accounts, before that it was deleting parady accounts. What concrete thing has he done for free speech other than offer trump his account back?
Musk has borrowed against Tesla shares continually, and for a long time. He also sold Tesla shares. But some numbers are hard to reconcile. The proxy statement, about which I've posted and the post got insta-flagged by the elonbrigade, puts a cap of 25% of share value on director and senior management margin debt.

With a 70%+ decline in share value, and a large percentage (Forbes reported over 90%) shares pledged, regardless of the terms Elon's margin creditors give him, I do not see how he is in compliance with Tesla's board's policy. Elon's brother had 75% of his shares pledged that are now worth 70% less, too. That don't math.
This is their real problem long term.

Elon is a loud mouthed idiot, but the world is full of loud mouthed idiots.

What's lasting, however, is that reputation for making poorly built vehicles. Even today, people would rather buy Japanese, Korean, or German than to buy, say, a buick. All because the reputation for making poorly built vehicles was never shaken by some American auto makers. I think Tesla will suffer the same fate, because to date, they haven't even conceded that they may have an issue.
I believe the best answer here is a well-needed step back from CEO worship. Musk didn't build these cars, and yes, the CEO has an impact on things, but probably not as much as some people think. An interesting counterpoint to Musk's latest shenanigans: perhaps his companies were successful despite him?
The Valley is mostly tech, while SF is more the web shops. SF didn't even have much tech exposure at all until the dotcom boom; in 2000 it was still mostly old line industries (a stock exchange!) and music and other art. People in tech lived up there and commuted to work in the Valley.
Elon’s Twitter posts have zero impact on anything related to the car. The people allowing that to shape their purchasing decisions are underdeveloped emotional children.

Adults buy a vehicle based on specs, price, build quality, and style.
Oh goodness, what an awesome end. I love this article so much.
Hard to tell whether the FSD debacle is more or less of an influence than the politics. At first there was all kinds of video showing Tesla avoiding accidents. Now all the videos seem to be about how careful you have to be to avoid plowing into a pedestrian or a concrete planter. Or how poor the auto-parking is compared to electronic vehicles from other manufacturers. Tesla's software features have gotten objectively bad.
I don’t think it should be a Show HN – AFAIK this tag is for one’s own creations.
Everyone knows where the planes are. It's the pilots and crews that are dead heading around the country to get into position that got lost.
When you buy a Tesla, I doubt Elon gets a check in your name for some percentage of the purchase price. Tesla is a company with many investors, Elon being one of them sure but conversely I’m sure there are a number people you like/support that also have a vested interested in Tesla’s success.
disappointment, set backs and failures are part of work and this is not a problem but a very natural thing. The thing about software is that we do way too many stupid and downright useless things and this leads to a lot of frustration. Imagine we built houses like we do software.

There are a few reasons.

First, it suggests a preparation that is reminiscent of a food that people enjoyed before they stopped eating animal products. This means that the spices and texture will be similar. That's an indication for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians to expect a texture, condiment, and spice experience.

Second, it's not about disguising foods as other things; it's about combining foods. Falafel isn't fake meat, but it's ground chickpea (or fava bean in some cases) flour. Meatballs aren't somehow lesser because it's ground meat, no? As such, the thought of ground beans or other combinations into patties isn't somehow any more deceptive or disguised as ground meat. We transform food in all sorts of novel ways - that doesn't mean it's disguised because it is a substitute for other purposes.

Third, while vegans eat a lot of vegetables and mushrooms and beans, most people don't want every meal to be that. We crave variety in general, and a lot of plated vegetable plates are out of place at a barbecue or restaurant. So, it helps when things look in place.
