Well, it's only natural that technological progress and competition will reduce prices and allow the masses to enjoy products that were reserved for the rich in earlier times.

There was no dramatic tech progress in Tesla in the last few years, while competition steadily increased, it's only natural that the prices would drop. The Tesla stock valuations that essentially predicted this would never happen were obviously delusional.
On the other hand, this is a great opportunity for new artists to embrace AI and make a career out of it, instead of cowering in fear.

There's a popular youtuber named Joel Haver who films videos, then uses an AI tool to convert them into animations, so they can be magically put into a space or fantasy setting.

AI dungeon is an text adventure where the content is AI-generated.

I also imagine tools similar to Github Co-pilot for other markets. Some AI could generate music or video games levels based on inputs from a user, then the user can take or modify the best bits. The goal hopefully being that they get something no human could have thought up, instead of just generating a bunch of mediocre content.

But aren’t they also burning like $3M or something everyday?

Maybe wishful, but I hope this is to offset the burn rather than make profits. I was worried that they would kill chatGPT because of the burn rate.
Gumroad banned me because their CAPTCHA required too many scripts to be enabled one by one with uMatrix (which I used at the time). I ended up submitting the same post about 4 times because the error messages were incomplete and and poorly designed so I clicked submit again. When I emailed about the situation, they said they don't allow disputes and banned my email too.

Moral of the story: don't skimp on error messages and make sure your CAPTCHA actually works if you really need it.
Agreed, the software I am most likely to buy (and least likely to try to use without buying) is one with a lifetime license and offline activation for unlimited machines, even if it's just for one version. That's very valuable to me; as long as I can access the key and installer, I know I will always be able to run it.

Subscriptions are a negative value, it's something that'll bleed me dry as long as I have it.
> A £45k car is an expensive car for most people.

I agree but there was an article shared here the other day that outlined how new car prices are higher than ever. The average new car (non-luxury) price was/is around $45K
...I think you may just be on the receiving end of a lot of chat bots. I'd give the opposite advice.

Once you've got another human being on the line, use them to their fullest capability. Ask them questions, try to gather information from the tools they have at their disposal, begin traversing their internal contact graph.

They are people. Human beings. Even if they are in a crappy position at the moment, even if they generally follow a script, you can get so much more done than you'd ever approach getting done with a chatbot.

Show me a chatbot that can fire off a slack message to their manager, the QA group, hit up the knowledge base, be educated by the caller, and I'll show you a human being on the other end of the line.

Show me the opposite, and I'll show you either a disengaged human, or the work output of an engineer looking to add AI or ML to their resume, or a conscious decision by management to cut cost by burning customer goodwill.
Every day, mostly as a coding assistant. Been a HUGE timesaver.
Indeed from the physorg article illustration (cited up top) and their description, the N doesn't seem to form a molecular bond with F, but to diffuse into the iron crystal; with F binding to F and N being trapped but not bound. Fe16N2 is then a description of the crystal ratios, not a description of a molecule that can create a crystal.

My chemistry is prob as weak as yours though, so don't trust this too much.
I mostly see specialists and even there they’re consistently out of date. I get that not everyone can be a top tier researcher and many doctors have a business to run, but once we reach the limit of their knowledge I’d much rather hear “I don’t know” than “that’s all anyone knows.” Doctors to me are a minor inconvenience to prescription medication.
IMO the only solution to the big "meat problem" be it CO2, land use, antibiotics resistance, ethics of slaughtering animals, treatment, is probably cultured meat.

More government sponsored investment is definitely needed. The CO2 externality alone of cattle is a significant portion of humanity's CO2 emissions, something like 15%.

The land use for meat production between feed and grazing is very large as well, google says 33% of farmland is dedicated to animal feed production. That's a huge amount of land consuming water resources, steadily losing topsoil, and removal of natural habitats and potential carbon sinks.

Grazing is 35% of US land. Again, just a huge amount of land that is denied natural habitats.
Guess what? Vue can also be used with render functions (or even JSX) instead of templates.

But JSX is a standard way to work with React. And Vue templates are a standard way to work with Vue.
Great book, already read it! I don't think GOG is very good for the developers, and not having DRM would also harm our business as we'd miss out on subscribers that pirate games and leave.

I appreciate your opinion on the value prop too. I'm curious though, is there anything you feel is missing out from these other stores that maybe we could do?
Not sure how small you're wanting, but Kinesis sells the Cirque EasyCat AG which is 3.3"x2.6". I've not used it myself, but I do have the Freestyle Pro keyboard, which I absolutely love and is very high quality, so I'd guess the rest of the products are similar.

I feel like I am in between. I learn better by doing but I think everyone thinks they have to move so fast, be agile, that they leave their shitty implementation doing the work instead of figuring out how to rewrite it into something more manageable.

You have to do the stuff you don't like to get to stuff you do sometimes.

> coal was the most common

Coal was shifted from the home to the energy plant.

Is this better because the negative effects of coal burning were removed locally and moved to a central location? Or maybe because the local locations can no longer control their own consumption?
In my experience the majority of the Teslas are luxurious noise comes from the fact it's often the first "luxury" car people have owned

People who normally drove "boring" cars like Civics and Camrys because they saw cars as a utilitarian purchase swung for a Tesla because it was more of a tech purchase than a car purchase.

So a lot of people insist it's the best car they've ever driven, and they're not lying... they just haven't driven many non-utilitarian cars.
Perhaps you don't enjoy working for a software engineering organization. When the organization is concerned about methodology as opposed to getting the result, that can be a problem. Too often, I've been in organizations that found a new trend but never asked if it actually mattered. That being said, methodology does matter. We've all been around someone who just threw something together, it was our job to clean up the mess :-)
Being able to work in a large organization to accomplish goals smaller organizations could not is one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind.

The part that is arguable is whether or not smaller organizations could accomplish the same.

I have a hypothesis that it's literally just LOC. The more lines of code, the more SWE you need to be stewards of that code, the bigger the bureaucracy.

You write like as soon as I put on a pair of jeans from Walmart it immediately begins disintegrating. It's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. I've had relatively cheap clothes for years without having to worry about it very much.

I don’t think they’re getting stupider. They’re what they’ve always been…a source of conventional wisdom. When conventional wisdom said bloodletting was good for health, they bled their patients. When mercury was considered a medicine, they administered it. When hacking off limbs was considered the best way to fight infections, their toolkit included bone saws. When electroshock therapy was considered a treatment for mental illness, they shocked the hell out of their patients. I’m sure that one day we’ll look at chemotherapy and radiation as barbaric practices representative of our ignorance of how easy it is to deal with cancer.

Scientists/researchers advance the state of our medical knowledge and doctors, over subsequent generations, absorb what they find and practices slowly change. But there’s always a lag. What we need to get past is the notion that doctors are some font of truth when it comes to medical information. They are, largely, a snapshot of what was conventionally believed at the time they graduated med school. We don’t have a system that effectively updates their knowledge or keeps them in the loop for cutting-edge research. They do learn a set of first principles that can help them reason about novel situations better than a lay person, but only if the right answer is one that follows from those principles as opposed to being counterintuitive.

It’s the nature of being a practitioner rather than a researcher.
For me it is usually quite the opposite somehow
Just because it's an abused accident doesn't mean it's not just JavaScript. There's nothing JSX-specific about it.

Come on, this kind of "made up rules" is meant to be ignored, not followed.
Normal players would have dropped and ignored that extra stat digit, either because they recognized it as a plausible deniability tool whose usefulness is limited to written material or because preferring D&D-like stats is an obvious corrective "house rule".

What's an example of a company that values "programming" over the business?
Are doctors, as a group, becoming stupider?

I think patients are getting smarter, and conditions for doctors are worse causing some intelligent people to choose different fields. That said, I recently went through a major illness and interacted with many medical professionals. My first hand experience/anecdata is that doctors are just like every other professional. Some are good, some are mediocre. Some are so consumed by hubris they believe the public is always wrong, and
Some are willing to talk things through and keep an open mind about everything, even if it is ridiculous.

The best thing we could do for healthcare is to remove the idea that "doctor knows best." While it is important for doctors to feel confident, and to teach the public to avoid snakeoil, it just places unreal expectations on these people. If patients took more accountability for their own health, then we could loosen some of the malpractice laws, and doctors insurance premiums would go down, and that would in turn cause rates to go down. But that was a bit of a tangent from my point that doctors are just people, maybe with an average intelligence that is slightly above the population at large, but still just people.

I have plenty of non-online friends who are not on reddit who keep telling me that it's difficult to make friends in adulthood so, yes it's rather common outside of that bubble.

Some people just never really learned to initiate new friendship and only relied on people inviting them, being in a university with events helping new friendships etc..
The few comments that are in there are kinda funny too:

Doing zero troubleshooting and immediately jumping to the conclusion that it's someone else's fault is frustratingly common. If you want to make a network engineer reflexively reach for a bottle of liquor, DM them on Slack "hey is the network down my app/service/database/whatever is unreachable".

Networks can and do go down of course. But in my experience, the vast majority of these issues are actually the result of something extremely mundane like a typo in a hostname. I've resolved an incredible number of issues over the years by simply reading the error message someone sent to me and asking them to check the exact thing that the message says is wrong.
You are making your own assumptions about what Mastodon is and you’re mad that you’re wrong.

“Federated twitter” does not imply any of the things you think it does.

Twitter has moderation. Federated twitter has moderation. Twitter is a platform focused on communities. Federated twitter is even more focused on communities.

Twitter is run by faceless nobodies and Elon Musk. Mastodon is run by Eugen if you join his instance, or your friends if you join their instance.

In NO WAY does federation imply

1) That it’s like email

2) Less moderation

3) Privacy

4) No politics

5) Any of the other weird shit you assumed

The only single thing federation implies is that the servers are run by independent operators.
> I find that the problem is solved before writing a single line of code. If that happens, then the actual part of writing becomes dull and mechanical - the problem has already been solved.

I can relate to this so much sometimes. Right now I'm putting off programming because the ticket I have I've already thought through in my head and now I'm sitting here goofing off on here and reddit because I just don't want to do the actual work part.
do you see "getting stupider" as synonymous with "less profitable in a capitalist system"?

Does it?

We all know that Tesla's programming uses RADAR, I mean doesn't use RADAR because RADAR is stupid. I mean, we're adding RADAR back and removing ultrasonic, because ultrasonic is useless. Each time Tesla changes their feature set, they're changing their programming, and we have reason to believe it doesn't work as well as advertised.

Meanwhile, the other car manufacturers are basically putting in bog-standard RADAR + Camera + Ultrasonic suites from Mobileye, which basically has no issues.

I know Tesla fans just wanna pretend that their neural network training will solve everything, but surely they have to understand that the feature set / inputs into that neural net need to remain constant? Like, you can't just add RADAR, then remove RADAR, then add it back again, and hope that the training continues to improve.

I don't think neural nets solve everything mind you. But 'if they did', you surely have to at least have consistent training data.

------------

And btw: Phantom Braking is an issue on all Teslas, since they all have emergency auto-braking and FSD is "just a software unlock" (ie: we know FSD is representative of the emergency braking software's quality).

IIRC, Autopilot / FSD / etc. etc. was Mobileye back in the day, until Mobileye fired Tesla as a customer. That was when Tesla began to write their own in-house software, and I don't think it ever matched the quality of Mobileye... despite the hype.
The proof will be in the pudding, but this seems like a near-total capitulation to me. That's a relief if so. I enjoy other systems, but I do also love D&D, and I'd hate to abandon it.
AI is not alien, it's us
I just pay my credit card balance every week. Using a credit card and paying it very often means that my credit score is excellent, which results better deals for my mortgage and also better credit cards with great rewards and no fees. Credit cards also allow you to dispute transactions in cases of fraud, which you can't do with debit cards. If you have a healthy relationship with credit, not having a credit card is actually a much worse deal.
But features on paper are one thing, trustworthiness is a feature as well.

If I ever bought a Tesla, I sure would not buy nor trust any FSD. You can say the same about a lot of other such "badly implemented features" in many products from other companies as well - a good comparison includes that depth as well.
He didn't? He joined Twitter in 2009.
Reading the replies to your comment is so grim. I think, more than anything, I'm floored by the level of arrogance that permeates seemingly every conversation on HN lately. I'm spending less time here than I have in years because watching the culture of curiosity die just makes me sad.

ChatGPT has been incredibly helpful in getting the skeleton of a text down on paper - a task that can often be tedious and time-consuming. Once the skeleton is in place, I am able to embellish it with my own flair, fix any factual errors, and make real progress. I'm not alone in my assessment of ChatGPT's potential. Many experts believe that the tool has the potential to significantly improve the productivity of writers.

However, it is important to note that ChatGPT is not a replacement for human creativity and originality. The creative and unique aspects of writing are still the domain of the writer, while the tool is simply a tool to assist in the more mundane tasks. Nevertheless, as technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see more and more writers turning to tools such as ChatGPT to improve their productivity and efficiency.

*GPT helped me write this too, in the style of a Wall Street Journal article.

Right, no one wants to work on a 10k line view.py file. However, if you put everything into its own app, like I did, then you run into circular dependencies as your project gets closer to feature complete. So, the answer is somewhere in the middle. At the moment, I have about 20 apps, with 1 to 4 models per app, and 20% of all that is highly interdependent. I should have put the big, highly interdependent pieces in one app, and have the less connected pieces in separate, bare-bones crud-apps.
Yep! Too bad humanity has settled on decimal instead of dozenal (base 12).
I merely configured the website server TLS protocol to my exacting specs (in cryptographic and network security theatre) and Chrome failed because its client "demands" the non-ChaCha variants despite my TLS server INSISTING "my way or the highway".
