> I don't believe most Tesla owners are aware of this. Most that I know see an obvious choice in a product with no real competition.

Cybertruck isn't even released yet, all the dates here are 2024.

Meanwhile, Ford 150 Lightning and Rivian actually exist (and have existed for literally years). You can't even properly call the Cybertruck a competitor until its truly available.

And the low-price model has a "might be released in 2025, we don't have the specs either" right there front and center. That's not competition, that's vaporware.

After living in places like Houston and Palo Alto (polar opposites!) This is not remotely a surprise. Heavy division on race and class lines is obvious everywhere. It's part of the immense polarization in the US. Even people living a few miles from each other can exist in totally different universes.
I would guess that at least all the version 4 charges will support 800V in the near future. Maybe even the version 3 ones can be upgraded.
I drive the slowest Tesla there is, but I find its acceleration from 0 to 50km/h very beneficial.

It feels much more safe when merging, overtaking, etc, compared to my previous (rather weak and old) car. And I do my best to not drive as a jackass.
To be honest, this page, in terms of retro, is good as it is.

Do you mean something like Aptera? https://aptera.us/

This really excites me. I had 2 Cybertruck reservations, I cancelled them and ordered an Aptera. I think this is what we really need: smaller car with efficiency in mind.
Trucks are meant to haul. Anything with less than an 8' bed are truck-shaped cars for all practical purposes and should be taxed accordingly because they're a waste of resources and contribute to the decline of the environment. Crew cabs are just an excuse to drive around in something truck-shaped. The term is carpool not truckpool. If you're driving to and from a job site with others in the vehicle, it's either part of the fleet or you're not getting paid enough.

>In less dense areas, buttons should change the light more or less immediately to allow pedestrian crossing.

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for this. If a car approaches a less-busy intersection it triggers the lights to cycle, but not immediately. I'm not sure why pedestrians would get such priority, rather being placed into the natural cycle.

FWIW I just came back from Thailand and it was rather eye opening - crosswalks are ignored by motorists, and there's much less hand-holding, but people manage to get by. There's more give-and-take rather than rigid rule following.

Yeah, I think the difference is between "they have all the upside" and "they have only upside". You shouldn't agree to either of those situations — they should be putting in sweat equity alongside you. But there's a big difference between them, since all founders end up with some upside — if you don't, then you're employee #1 (and even then, you're probably still getting a couple percent).
This seems like a fairly common point as well in car reviews. Super fast cars of any type are only fun in a very limited set of circumstances, most of them not on a normal road. In contrast, even your daily commute can be made more fun with a car that's lightweight or has good handling or an engaging manual shifter or whatever. It's basically the entire premise of the Mazda Miata.

It's an unfortunate trend with EVs too (thanks in large part to Tesla IMO). You can get a ton of acceleration with big electric motors and batteries, but the car will otherwise drive like ass because it's so heavy and so little attention has been paid to anything besides speed.

My aunt has an avocado tree. Freshly-picked avocados ripen very differently than store-bought ones. They stay ripe for way longer, since they don't have to be picked in advance and shipped. And I say this as someone who lives in CA, where we get produce on the fresher side, in general.

When I visited my aunt she gave us several avocados, and I thought, "we're never going to be able to eat these before they go bad". I was so wrong — they stayed perfect for well over a week.

My bachelor's thesis was on the harmonic level set method of Stern and Co and had a lot of fun with it, so this was a great read. I'll have to look at the paper.

As someone who has been there done that - read my other replies - I can say both that I don’t regret doing it and that I would not sacrifice my life now to ever go back to any large tech company or for the money.

I very much made two decisions this year after being Amazoned that prioritized my stress level over money.

1. Deciding not to put my shingle up and go independent. I have the network, the credentials and the knowledge to make more than I was making at Amazon going that route

2. Turning down a position that was going to be created for me by a former coworjer now director to be responsible for the cloud migration and infrastructure for a $7 billion public non tech company that would have also paid more in cash than my total comp at Amazon.

No, I never struck it rich in tech, I was a journeymen CRUD developer/architect when I got hired with two years of AWS experience and above average soft skills.

> The cheapest F150 Lightning (available today not in 2025) is $50k (vs $60k for Cybertruck), same 250 mile range but AWD standard, and is a regular pickup truck compatible with standard accessories and parts for doing actual pickup truck work.

I'd like to nitpick "doing actual pickup truck work". The Lightning gets terrible mileage, to the tune of roughly 100 miles on a charge, while hauling which ICE trucks do not unless under immense load [1]. It comes standard at 7,700 lbs towing or if you pay extra 10,000 lbs. At a $50k+ price an F-150 Lightning is not even barely resembling a truck doing truck things.

For context, my Tacoma cost me $32k, has 6-7k lbs towing, and is much more compact. My point is neither the Cybertruck nor the Lightning are capable of doing truck things; they are rich peoples toys - which is fine until it's conflated with why people who use trucks buy them.

I would love to buy an all electric version of my Tacoma or maybe even a Tundra that for ICE price + $10k can do the same hauling and mileage. There is absolutely a market here, but the technology to do so has not showed up yet.

It's obvious that "realpolitik" makes some nations winners and others losers-- while the lives of real human beings hang in the balance. I think anyone who thinks they should determine the winners and losers needs to be heavily criticized. Regardless of which side they are on.

> It’s observing passively.

This is a byproduct of the process. You cannot observe passively if you still have a very strong imprint of a doer. When you start observing the tingles and the sensations, you still observe them from the center and there's a distance from the center and the sensations. The only way this center disappears is if the regions of the brain that create imprints lower their activity.

I'd say it is very easy to accomplish it when you're sleepy (especially after you wake up during the night and go back to sleep). There's no need to shut anything down through high focus, brain does it naturally to paralyze the body and lose the waking state.

"My Stroke of Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor goes through many side-effects experienced by the meditators, but through a lens of a brain stroke.

> Thought ceases because it interferes with being aware, not because you are experiencing brain death.

Not sure about that. The verbal/visual thinking can be a strong feedback loop to the underlying unconscious processes. The only way I can see that it stops is if it is suppressed to unconscious, you've learned to not have it in focus.
Also, many people have no visual and verbal thoughts. They don't have an imprint of standard modes of thinking at all. I'd say the definition of thought needs to expand to sensing. Any sensation is a thought. Focus on verbal/visual thoughts is misplaced.

I do agree that people learn to eventually do this without the side effects of practice. They can probably transition to a different brain activity without dealing with the breath ever again.

I think a much better standard for meditators is to ask them if they feel like their whole body is alien, or if they have something like alien hand syndrome. Losing thoughts, yet still being the body (or even the space around the body) is just another form of thoughts.

The imprint of a doer gives you the feeling of someone controlling the body or doing the thinking. For example, I can get lost in thoughts so hard that I no longer have imprints of controlling the body. Somehow I leave the shower and dress myself yet I know I don't remember doing any of it.

To also move the conclusion further, it sounds like the ultimate goal is to feel like you're not separate but that you're whole, so in that case it must be that this body, from that perspective, is fully without individual imprint, behaving completely like an input/output machine, no inner subjective experience present.
To put some context here, SEs often make so much because of commissions, not due to some crazy salary.

Commission based sales seem like a good thing -- it is pay to perform. "Business co-founders" are not the same thing as SEs, because "Business co-founders" are often paid upfront (via equity) for the future promise of performing. That is not a setup with good alignment of interests.

> It's not a perfect solution—the avocado will still brown eventually—but you can mix in a minimal amount of browning such that diners won't know, buying yourself at least a few hours before it becomes a problem.

Or you could scrape off the thin layer of oxidized guac, and serve your diners only the fresh parts?

One thing they don't mention is that when you're storing guac in a container, you want to shape it to minimize surface area. This means not using a shallow container, but instead a narrow/tall one. That way you oxidize a smaller fraction of it, which means less waste (or less brown stuff you're mixing in with the fresh parts, if you follow their instructions).
A pitch deck is something you make for investors. I'm not talking about investors, I'm talking about customers.

Lots of management consultants can make a pitch deck. Very few can actually find people willing to pay for an MVP of a software product.

That was pretty much the point of my post. Most "business" guys are bad at the business side. Making pitch decks and raising funds is not the business side - except in some people's little side-circus. Understanding what customers want and figuring out what's the minimal version that people will pay for is.

You show me a management consultant that actually has 50 people willing to pay for an MVP, and that person can easily have a side startup. In fact, please put me in touch. Very, very few of them can actually do that. And even if they don't have a developer, I imagine an investor would be pretty impressed by that too.

Again, I'm speaking in generalities. If your technology is "turn common trash into gasoline" or "teleports people across contintents safely", then yeah, you don't need many business skills. But if your technology is "a scalable web app", or "I forked stable diffusion and did something cute with it", then the business skills are more critical than the tech skills.
People speculate on housing mainly because it makes sense tax-wise. Georgist LVT is the best policy for preventing this. In many cities people endlessly sit on vacant blocks waiting for the market to move in their favour, with no disincentives to do so.

Your policy would just result in houses being owned by richer people, and more people paying rent. It would reduce house prices, but only the riches people would be buying them and receiving the benefits.

It would fail in a similar way to rent-control. Sure, it makes things cheaper in the short term, but harms everyone in the long term.

Bit of a nitpick but the best known predictor of this kind of stuff is probably Ray Kurzweil and he's predicted AI passing the Turing test for 2029 since 2005 or so, so the state of AI being a little pre Turing now is almost spot on.

He also got AI beating humans at chess correct to within a year. It's not actually that hard - you plot computer capabilities on a log graph and extend the line a bit.

What is maybe a little scary and amazing how many people dismiss is the bit after 2029.
First, I will cede the idea of corporations being bound by the social contract. It's not so much that I think it's wrong as nonsensical, like claiming a submarine can swim. I guess you can think of corporations as participating in the social contract, in the sense that they are subject to laws and in return they create social value, but it's not as if they could decide not to do those things. Corporations can't even exist outside of a society! But I also don't think it proves what you think it does, so sure, let's say that submarines are excellent swimmers and corporations are totally part of the social contract. I can't wait for Apple to remember that they're supposed to pay US taxes!

Second: do you claim it is inherently immoral to break laws or not? I've assumed the answer is no despite your dodging the question, but I don't see where you're trying to go with all this discussion of the social contract, if not there. There's more I'd say, but I hate typing out "if you think X then I would respond Y, but if you think Z then I would reply with W" stuff, I'd much prefer a straight answer to this.
