It's the CIRCLE OF FRAMEWORKS!

Dev: "All the legacy crap is too bloated obnoxious to use and has to much overhead, packaging, and training required to do even smiple things. I'm going to invent a simple lightweight framework from scratch that uses first principles to stay clean."

Time passes framework starts to get used

Random user: "I need to be able to dynamically modify table spacing in Elbonian based languages, whilst allowing for non-standard viewports to dyanmically load partial DOM changes while asynchronously displaying a cat falling over gif animation and the only way to do it in the framework is a bloated hack, any serious enterprise tool needs this, until you get it this is just a toy"

Dev: "Well I guess that makes sense"

Time passes: Hundreds of these random edge cases pop up, og dev is tired, the project gets moved to a committee, usually some drama pops up for several reason that have more to do about posturing than the framework itself

New dev: "This framework is bloated complicated and has too many dependencies and layers of abstraction. After all what purpose on earth is there for me to have to configure whether or not I am using Elbonian derived language encodings that nonsense. I'm going to write my own framework that is lightweight and simple and does what I need it to without all this extra crap"

IT'S THE CIRCLE OF FRONTEND!!

AND IT MOVES US ONWARD!!
The article claims to be based on reports and documents from within Tesla and interviews with multiple Tesla employees. Just the Model 3 control arm issue covers over 100,000 repairs.
That's easy. After learning the language, study good C code. Try to grok how the masters build higher-level abstractions.

Learn from widely used C code that is not a toy. Examples: sqlite.org, git-scm.org

If you don't understand something, look it up in the C standard doc.

Most of the time, you will want to program for speed, and C will let you. Learn and practice C profiling.

Also, you will need to learn defensive programming. The best source about this is "Learn C The Hard Way" by Zed Shaw: https://github.com/zedshaw/learn-c-the-hard-way-lectures
> make new rods from asteroids etc

The Etc includes dead hardware in Earth orbit: that's a smaller gap than mining asteroids. Maybe not molybdenum but probably lots of magnesium, titanium and aluminum.
The same as with other assets: Someone will buy it from the bankruptcy auction.
It’s unbelievable that you’re not supposed to use cruise control when passing? It sounds like common sense to me: you’re supposed to be accelerating to get past the other car.
How often do other manufacturers do this? I recall from memory: VW had a loss of power problem they blamed on drivers. Toyota had throttle by wire problem they blamed on drivers.

Not defending Tesla here, this is all shit. But to me this is more about some kind of safety and repairs regulation, than the usual: Elon is bad.
Not really.
That kind of code makes it easy to render something initially, but absolute hell to update and keep your state and UI in sync.
Even if I liked the cars, and they aren't for me, I don't think I'd get a Tesla just because the company seems so terrible.
What problem is this system trying to solve? It seems to be, in this initial deployment, that the office park is too far away from the restaurants its employees want to visit, compelling them to drive there. I feel like a better solution would be permitting denser and mixed-use development, so employees can walk to their favorite restaurants on the ground floor instead of driving >1km to them or paying for a delivery tunnel.
QEMU Version 8.2.0 Released
Interesting points. And, I've not yet decided what I'm going to do as a parent yet. The discussion you guys are having here is kind of what's going on in my head right now and over the last few months :D The general direction I think is best for any parent is to leave them to make their own mistakes and educate them, knowing that they can come to me and have frank conversations. The first time I watched any porn was at 13 when one of my mates found his Dad's stash. And I turned out... normal ;-) There was no accessible internet back then, unfortunately.
> but the Model Y has become the best selling car in the world.

That doesn't directly correlate to marketshare. The MY is going to need many many quarters of being the best selling car to have marketshare equal to many other ICE models.

> $6B for a mere five years is highway robbery. Installing $4B of solar and $2B of batteries will result in 20-40 years of carbon-free electricity, and far far far more of it.

How would you install $6B overnight? That alone would take years. And where do you buy it from? China?

There are still many old nuclear plants running just fine and produce electricity at decent prices.

Not that I am opposed to new nuclear construction but its a completely wrong to suggest these old plants are to old.
Do you have any specific criticisms of its safety? Age doesn't make something unreliable or unsafe. If you had a Nokia phone in the 80s, I'll bet that thing is more reliable than any phone produced in the last decade.
> It’s the greatest convenience-security ratio store of value.

How? As an average (not doing anonymous things at crypto ATMs around the country, which might have cameras) US customer who wants to use it, you need to give Coinbase (exchange) a ton of banking + social security info, etc. (typical know-your-customer KYC validation flow, I think you even send then your driver's license)?

And you are supposed to file whatever you do crypto wise on your taxes
I don’t think understanding progressive taxation bands is an unreasonable expectation if you’re going to start mouthing off about tax policy.
This is very similar to and likely inspired by the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon:

The problem with nuclear is not the public outcry against it. That did not stop our attempts at Vogtle or Summer in the 2000s.

What stopped these new nuclear builds, and doomed future new nuclear builds, was fraud on the part of management, unconstructable designs, incompetence in EPC, etc. these are the challenges with nuclear.

If somebody could build cost effective nuclear that didn't bankrupt those building it, there are roughly 100 reactors in the US nearing their end of life that local populations would love to keep running.

Nuclear didn't die because of public outcry in the US, it died because of cost overruns and bankrupting utilities. No buyer wants to take on that risk.
that's great, do you still have any to give out? i don't usually read books but i am trying to take it up lol. this may be a good way to staryt
AI proxy middlewares are a hack
Your experience of cognition isn't universal, and asserting a universal law based on your subjective experience is tenuous at best. There's a reason we've been discussing these exact ideas for millenia, rather than settling it all immediately. Other people report very different conceptualisations of cognition - why is theirs an illusion and not yours an ellision?

> No of course I experience the same thing you experience.

It really doesn't sound like you do. Other people experience a decision making process -- one where they pick the impulse to follow or deny -- that is at least as valid as your immediate blur from thought to action. Many people are capable of having thoughts without acting on them, or of weighing up multiple thoughts, or of chaining together multiple thoughts (carry the 1, rotate this cube in your mind, etc.) towards a goal.
No, in this case I think it’s fair to ask for clarification, since the whole point of the article is that things are suddenly breaking on Teslas.
If you understand why it’s not the same as receiving an email, and why an owner of a resource is not obliged to allow people to use that resource for free and for their profit, then why make this thread to begin with?

I use BetterDisplay and it's fantastic for tweaking resolutions and rendering on any external display that isn't Apple branded. It also has a bunch of extra features that's likely useful for any display but I'm mostly using it for custom HiDPI rez/rendering.

The costs and complexity of working underground are huge. Most cities have fairly poor documentation and location information on any underground utilites that are more than 40-50 years old. Locally here we have a big project going on to expand municipal fiber. The contractors are every week hitting water lines, gas lines, or sewer lines that aren't exactly where they "are supposed to be" I can only imagine the final costs will vastly exceed estimates when all this damage is taken into account.
I'm dying here! Thanks for mentioning it or I'd never have clicked the link.
Most pilots would prefer a visual approach given the choice. I doubt this pilot actually believed it would be unsafe to fly the visual at SFO that evening: given the dozens of other jets actively doing it, that would be absurd. He was just following his company policy. If he had a real emergency that required him to land immediately, I'm almost certain he'd have flown that emergency landing visually.

I don't know for sure... but on a modern jet, I suspect he was able to contact his employer during that long hold to ask, and they told him "yes, we really want you to divert if you can't get the ILS". Either way, if there's any fault here, IMHO it's on his employer not doing their homework and putting their pilot in a no-win situation.
German "Sunday is rest day" at it's best.

If fuel stations are essential(as in allowed to be open on Sundays), then with the EVs becoming the norm so should be the support for these stations.
Good then they should run it for even longer if they are gone do so much maintenance.
Electromagnetic brakes are used, but the biggest difference is that the weight of passengers is a much bigger portion of total weight (you don’t have a locomotive and the cars are not nearly as heavy per passenger) a decelerating quickly is part of the appeal. If passengers on trains were unencumbered with stuff and strapped in as on roller coasters, they could be built to do it too.

I tried solid and I didn't find it intuitive. Having your data behind proxies introduces more ceremony when splitting / combining props. I felt I was just moving the trade-off React makes when feeding a deps list to hooks to a different location. The proxies also made things hard to debug and you have to be careful about the language features you use with them.

I also have often have smaller deps lists in React's useEffect when wanting to call a callback on the props because of some local state changes. I wouldn't want the effect to fire because the callback changed however. I'm not sure solid even supports that in its createEffect since it is all automatic.
There was a time when a Tesla was something I aspired to own one day, but now I don't think I'd get one even if I had a free pick of any car in that price range.

From what I understand they still lead the EV space in several metrics, but other manufacturers have done a lot of catching up in the last few years. Add that to greater reliability and build quality, and inclusion of physical controls (anyone who thinks replacing the indicator/turn signal stalk with capacitive buttons is sensible has clearly never driven in the UK—my 15 minute drive into the office crosses 11 roundabouts).

Plus I've developed such a strong personal distaste for Musk over the last few years that it's hard to want to give him money, however indirectly.
Via a boolean parameter, no less.
I generally rely on others to recommend nonfiction. If someone with a perspective or insight I find challenging or compelling mentions a book I haven't read, I at least will take a look. On occasion I'll stumble on an interview with the author that sufficiently piques my interest.

Also, when I fixate on a new topic I often find that certain titles will be repeated in forums, chats, HN, articles, etc and I make note of things multiple people that seem to know things mention as useful.
Why do you need ChatGPT for the API calls?
Doesn't Tesla, like all Musk companies, famously lack a PR department? Are we supposed to wait for Musk to Tweet something?
The author of the referenced emulator, Ray Arachelian, unfortunately passed away early this year, a few days before the Lisa source code was published by the CHM.

They should also partner with vpn providers so vpn tunnels terminate in Tor and exit from it and Tor exits get hosted more and more by vpn providers (bit harder to block/classify as a tor exit).

Also, a new class of exits that support traffic only to specific subnets for sites that are "good" (low abuse potential like bbc, wikipedia,news sites,archive sites), these exits can be run out of people's residential IPs and phones
I wonder why they're using Molybdenum instead of just lead. All of the thrust comes from throwing atoms out of the thruster, so, throwing something denser makes sense in my mind... surely there's a reason?
If the topic is a tool that's missing an important feature, then of course people will discuss why that tradeoff has been made.
If I may ask what seems like an obvious question… why can’t they just use credit card terminals like gas stations have been using for many decades?
> Disengagements means there is a safety driver present that takes over to prevent a dangerous situation.

California, at least, cites a disengagement as "whether because of technology failure or situations requiring the test driver/operator to take manual control of the vehicle to operate safely."[0]

Would a car being confused and not being able to proceed without input be a disengagement by that definition? I think so, based off of "technology failure", but it's not reported as that.

> It just means the car is confused. Conflating these things and accusing Cruise of deception is itself being dishonest.

When a car is confused what happens? It stops. That is a safety issue by itself, as it can lead to emergency services not being able to properly respond and killing someone[1].

The fact people are trying to downplay this as "nothing" is shocking imo. What happens when a fleet of vehicles get confused, they all stall and it results in gridlock and frustration.[2]

also, who plugs in daily? do you fuel your ICE car daily? other than professional drivers, i'm doubting this is the normal routine for normal drivers. the irrational idea that EVs need to be plugged in at any and every opportunity is something that should be rationalized away. <referring to your point earlier>

i don't own an EV, so maybe my preconceived ideas of only charging when necessary may be what needs updating??? however, regular battery maintenance routines suggests daily charging might not be the best for the battery.
Surely you don't mean "cruise control" in the classic sense of "maintaining a steady speed so you can take your foot off the gas" because that's been around since the 1950s and is well-established.
> $6B for a mere five years is highway robbery. Installing $4B of solar and $2B of batteries will result in 20-40 years of carbon-free electricity, and far far far more of it.

Do batteries and solar panels have lifetimes of 20-40 years?
> I would argue that sales is indicative of the best as it best matches the desires, utility and constraints for the most people.

If you assume consumers are rational, then yes.

But I think that's an incredibly naive stance to take. "Desires" will do a lot of heavily lifting to determine "best" since they will include a LOT of subjective measures such as susceptibility to marketing campaigns.

Besides, we all know the Miata is the best car. https://youtu.be/kp1kuo6xkbE?t=239

So is Elon enough of a majority shareholder that he’s untouchable? Or is the company set up like FB where no matter what he controls a majority of voting shares?

Of is it just that no investors were willing to touch it because it just kept making more money do oh well?

So much stuff keeps coming out I’m left wondering why there isn’t a bigger push for a management change.
This is before EV charging becomes a commodity or a public utility...

Though public utilities are typically even worse, than the current landscape of charging apps :(
Tesla already tried that, years and years ago. They built a fully automated battery swapping station for the Model S, as a test of concept, and nobody used it. So the program was abandoned as a complete failure, and now Tesla's newer models no longer have the capability.

In fact, Tesla's Head of Design and VP of vehicle engineering discussed this very topic just a few days ago in Jay Leno's video on the Cybertruck [0]:

That's definitely a huge factor.

The prices for vehicles from the other makes are absolutely insane for anything comparable.

I really, really like the design of the F-150 Lightning. If I could get it with 300 miles of range, rapidly recharge it on a trip and get it used for somewhere in the $40-60k range I'd probably get one.

As it stands, it's closer to 200 miles of range for $80-90k without the ability to rapid recharge (that I have seen).

Potential is there, but efficiency of production is not. Especially when they're publicly saying they still lose thousands on each one sold.

Don't get me wrong, their (QuEra's) demonstration is incredibly impressive, but it seems you've been misled by inconsistent nomenclature around the phrase "logical qubit". They've demonstrated a 5/1 encoding scheme, yes, but that scheme is not anywhere close to being sufficiently redundant to allow for deep quantum circuits. When people talk about needing 1000 physical qubits, they mean to make a logical qubit with sufficiently low error rate to run interesting algorithms. In the QuEra device, when they say they "made 48 logical qubits out of 240 physical qubits", they simply meant that they used an encoding, and made no claim about the error rate on those qubits being low enough. There is no hope (that I know of) for a 5-1 encoding scheme to make error rates low enough. The QuEra device would just as well need many more physical qubits per logical qubit.
"BE AFRAID"?

Both of those links indicate they discovered seismic faults below the two facilities after construction. That seems like a reasonable thing to be wary of.
No problem. Thanks for finding and posting the article! The change was a good idea but like things happen, corner cases intervened.
That break immediately made me think of the SpaceX strut failure due to supply chain mis-management. Quality checks were not in place, resulting in material that didn't have the structural strength specified.

The article mentions "human-in-the-loop" training: how does this work in practice? How much effort is required from the company's staff to train and maintain the assistant's accuracy?

Not an engineer, but what is wrong with it? It seems really on par with a lot of ultra-light experimental planes out there. It's obviously risky, but for what it is, it seems remarkably solid.

To me the issue isn’t that it happened… it’s that it happened over and over and over.

It seems more like a pattern/SOP than a single mistake they’re embarrassed about.
> You would be REALLY worried about your money if you knew how things work inside banks.

No, because banks are regulated and insured. If your bank fails, you’ll get your money back. As the article you’re commenting on describes, if your Tesla fails there’s a good chance you’ll be asked to pay out of pocket to fix their problems.
Completely agreed.

The idea that "all code is technical debt" because all requirements could hypothetically change someday, makes as much sense as saying "all currencies have no value" because 1,000 years from now we might not be using any of them.

Technical debt is not defined in terms of possible future requirements, it is defined in terms of current requirements. Code that elegantly and concisely expresses current requirements is debt-free. Code that is a mix of elegantly expressing old requirements, with new requirements expressed in a hacky fast way, has debt.

But trying to judge code in reference to all possible future requirements is utterly nonsensical. You can't measure that. It's literally meaningless.

So no, all code is not technical debt. Technical debt is technical debt, and clean code is clean code. Trying to redefine words to mean their opposite helps no one. That way lies madness.

The article is literally about Tesla denying claims, because they said that vehicle owners “abused” the vehicle.
