That! This! Thank you for talking about it and putting it into words. Not only is it applicable, I’ve had so many discussions about it with my wife. Her central theme is "treat us normally; stop making it a big deal" but with the added context of "it sucks that there aren’t many examples of that." So it’s a balance between the two. I told my wife your story and she said yup, that checks out. I wanted to touch on this but couldn’t figure out how to fit it in.

She points out that the thing not to do is to be like "wow, you’re a girl!" and instead showcase examples of women coding. It’s the showcasing part that helps them feel like they belong. She notes that it would be cool if people would just say "this is Ada Lovelace, she was the first programmer" instead of doing the usual thing of saying "the first programmer was a woman". They might seem equivalent to us, but it feels way different to experience, and it’s something that I couldn’t appreciate until a few instances of me feeling out of place as a man. And then I realized that’s how women feel in tech.

That’s also why OP’s example meant so much to me. It was completely casual, which is the only way my daughter might feel like she belongs too.

Thanks again, and you also have a wonderful week.

What batteries are in the semi-trucks? I would assume it isn't even Tesla's battery but the LFP batteries from BYD and CATL for faster charging, and longevity. Powerwalls are LFP batteries.

He has a notorious habit of overpromising and underdelivering. I thought that habit of his was well established even before he became so vocally political.
Yup this is a very old strategy. Years back when I was helping mod a very large (10/15m+) sub, the head mod was running a pipeline in the background to help detect this exact thing.
IMDB forums used to be a community for film and TV but amazon killed it in its infinite wisdom of lowest common denominator
It's been like that for a while now. News and political subs are the absolute worst. Those subs and mods coordinate with news companies and political parties. Sports, movies, music and other commercial subs are just advertisment platforms tied to companies.

Reddit was a great idea. Then it got successful and greedy.
The title is not correct. They used credentials to get access to the vpn. How they moved laterally is obviously the interesting part anyway. Change the title, it gives cover to the lumbering behemoth that fault might lie anywhere besides UnitedHealths corrupt IT.
I don't use reddit for any real news, I just use it for hobbies/interests. Using reddit for news is a terrible idea for all the content farming and spam trash that this post is talking about. That would be like getting your news from just random people shouting on the side of the street.

So the hobbies/games I'm currently playing are subreddits I subscribe to and actively browse. Games like Anno 1800, Cities Skylines, and Manor Lords. All 3 have very active and passionate community members that are constantly posting high quality content around inspiration for builds, tips and tricks, community update news, patch discussions, mods, etc. etc.

If you want more silly subreddits not related to hobbies, it depends on what your humor is. Here is a wide range of options: r/AnimalsBeingBros, r/ActLikeYouBelong, r/softwaregore, r/raspberry_pi, r/lockpicking, r/FellowKids, r/dogswithjobs, r/BirdsArentReal, r/BreadStapledToTrees - subreddits that are related around hobbies or niche humor will make you love reddit.

Again, tl;dr, reddit is not the place for real life news. If you don't use it for that, you'll find yourself enjoying the website a ton more.
Reddit was getting shitty way before the past few years.

Honestly, I don't think pissing off the mods has made that big of a difference. Yes, some subs shut down, but otherwise I haven't seen a meaningful cultural change in Reddit as a result of that whole issue.

In fact, one of the reasons I believe Reddit is so crappy is specifically that they bow to mods in many ways. Many communities are run by, frankly, psychos who are way too happy with the power they have over their little ponds. I've lost count of how many times my posts have either been removed or my user banned despite having followed the explicit rules of a sub. Communities vary, but I've found this "you should have read our minds" attitude to be commonplace.

Yes, you can spin off your own sub, but then you're taking a gamble as to whether the original community is going to come after you; they seem to win at least half the time by convincing Reddit that your [relatively pissant] community is toxic in some way. Good luck if your community is blamed for creating "drama" even when there's a lack of brigading.
SpaceX is in a much more solid position. You can tell that Musk hasn't interfered in its operations nearly as much as he has with Tesla or X (case in point: renaming it "X").
I absolutely love this idea and how clever the implementation is. Thanks for sharing the details.
How full? I'm sure Reddit has quite a few bots but I also think that their size is an immunity of sorts.

I quit reddit a few years ago but I've checked it out recently and found it quite tolerable.
I've honestly wondered whether or not he's going to end up as this generation's Howard Hughes. Makes fortune in other industry, parlays that into becoming a manufacturing/aerospace titan, slowly goes insane. He's 2 or 2.5 for 3 depending on how you count.
I had a post do well on /r/programming and then months later it reappeared and someone was responding with my words. "Author here, what I meant by X was Xa and not Xb" etc. It was very confusing, because they were responding with my words to a bot saying something I had previously responded to.

Strange times.
> best place space station to construct for future Mars expedition should have been in the LEO and fully manned. Moon orbital station is a detour

There are real questions about LEO versus deep space habitation, specifically in respect of solar radiation. Gateway will help settle those questions.

> this "lets save money with reusing Shuttle stack" has backfired spectacularly

100% agree. And I honestly don't see us using SLS and Orion to go to Mars. But Gateway will be proving real science and hardware. And SLS, Orion and even the Gateway are more easily deprecated from the Artemis framework than e.g. Starship.

Could we have a better system? Sure. Is there a better path forward if we want boots on Mars in the 2030s? No.
This is just reddit
Killing the API access made detecting and tracking spam bots impossible. There was a whole subreddit called thesefuckingaccounts where the latest tactics in spam and karma farming were being tracked.

Reddit is awesome.

Just.

Don't ask for general life advice, don't go to "popular", don't talk politics( one of my biggest regrets is how political I was in my youth).

But theirs no better source of technical information from people who tend to be willing to help.

Go to stack overflow, say you've never programmed and want to know what tools to use. You'll be banned.

Go to Reddit, you'll get tons of helpful information. Rarely a subject matter expert jumps in.

AI is probably what I'd ask my stupid programming questions now though. Stupid as in how do I download a file in C++...

Definitely not true. Source: I worked at Tesla at the time of the Snake robot.
Reddit has by far the worst antibot protections of all the major social media sites. For starters you can register with an account using a mobile API endpoint with no email or captcha at all and the only reason this isn't widely used is because they have a request signing scheme that deters the lowest effort botters. As long as you're not posting newly registered domains from an IP address labelled as a Tor exit you probably won't be banned. If you search for terms like "payday loans" or "sbobet" and look at the account history of the posters you will see the most robotic stuff.

There's no strong reason to expect evolution to be optimal at anything. It's a process of gradient descent. If the particular thing you think it "should have" invented is behind too high a wall, oops, evolution never finds it.

And there's a high wall. Even if it's in P, calculating the structure of a protein from a functional goal is going to be energetically expensive on the scale of a cell. That's energy the organism could have used for eating or reproduction instead. And before that you have to biochemically represent goals for a protein, and match them with outside stimuli. More complexity, more energy. It doesn't seem worth it; life is already shockingly adaptable. Oh, and if you want arbitrary organelles, multiply all that by 10-1000.
> Reddit has steadily declined over the past few years and it seems to have sped up since pissing off the mod community last year.

Maybe depends on the subs you read, because I have not noticed an appreciable difference before and after the "going dark" thing.
If you don't think about things like cost and complexity, yes it is easy to build complex solutions that are costly.

If you are conscious about designing a simple solution, which can help cost, and then review the cost at scale, then it can be very worthwhile to use cloud services.

Editing to say that solutions recommended by cloud vendors may not always be the simplest, nor more cost effective.

In my opinion, this is all a massive gamble by Musk to pivot Tesla to an AI-first tech company. Except that Tesla cannot really do AI well and don't have the resources or talent the likes of Google, Meta, OpenAI, etc. does to do novel research and push AI forward.

And he has to make this gamble because Tesla's fundamentals as a car company is going down the drain and its entire valuation hinges on the fact that they are not just a car company. That's why he's constantly announcing new products (robotaxis, humanoid robots) that are nowhere close to materializing, making visits to China to ink HD maps deal with Baidu for FSD and claiming to spend $10B on AI infrastructure this year.

He seems to be in forever stock pump mode, so much so that Tesla's best product till date might just be its stock.
This isn't AI, they are simply reposting a previous, presumably "real" conversation verbatim under different usernames.

You can tell from the comments, which don't read like typical loquacity of ChatGPT style LLMs.
What decision did Elon make at Tesla was good for Tesla in the last 10 years?

I listed off the big stuff I can remember above. I'll go add "Alien Dreadnaught" and full automation of the Model 3 as another failure. Turns out that humans are way better than machines for the assembly line still, even today.

------

So far, the best thing for Tesla so far has been Elon Musk losing focus and thinking about Twitter for a few years instead of sending Tesla down another $inkhole to lose another $billion on an insane, underdeveloped idea.

Well, aside from Optimus I guess.
He was also secretly seeing a doctor for months before he quit, which I'm assuming he was paying for with his previous wealth.
Show HN: Tailor: Edit Your Websites in the Browser with Llama3
Hey HN! I recently built Tailor (https://tailor.cryingpotato.com) as a way to speed up the dev cycle that comes with tweaking a website.

My workflow to tweak websites was pretty painful - I’d change things in devtools until they looked visually correct, and then context-switch back to my terminal to apply relevant edits.

Tailor makes that process much easier by keeping the edit loop fully in the browser. Tailor uses LLMs as a fuzzy reasoning engine to automatically map your HTML edits to source code edits. It also runs code directly in your browser using WebContainers so you don't have to switch to the terminal to play around with these edits.

I’d love for you to try it out. Hit "Get Started" on the landing page and you're taken to the editing screen. Once it loads (only desktop Chrome for now because of WebContainer limitations), you can click the scissor icon on the top-right and start making edits.

When you submit an edit, Tailor takes your edit intent and starts exploring the codebase with LSPs to make a source edit. You can hit the check mark to create a PR based on your edits. Here's an example edit Tailor made to the landing page: https://github.com/cryingpotat0/tailor-landing-page/pull/22

It uses Llama3 powered by Groq as a default option, but you can also use GPT-4 by providing your own API key (the key is not stored anywhere, but is sent to the server). To switch LLMs hit the settings icon in the top right.

I'd love feedback on the idea and the experience of using it!
> I believe the plan is to impart a gentle spin.

That would be something new. And for a partially refueled stage, that's a lot of mass to spin. How fast? the speed of spinning could be important too.
All that might be true, but as a CEO you should understand that mass layoffs will have a negative impact on your brand. Even if they were "justified."
100%, I was also initially confused by the term web extension, it’s a browser extension.
Anyone going to be at bonnaroo this year?
Would be great to have an HN meetup haha.
The only thing separating Tesla from a realistic multiple is Musk. For shareholders it's rational to want to keep him around. Otherwise they would have to face a much worse reversion to the mean.
> The WHOLE POINT of this app and this post is the abortion ban in some states in the US

Citation needed.

Dev's website is in German, so I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't even know about "some states in the US" abortion bans.

> We can pretend we are all idiots but lets be intellectually honest about what this post is about.

intellectual honesty includes providing some reason/backing for your assertions. I agree, let's be intellectually honest.
I really agree. I think the key to your key is you have to actively seek out media that interests you. Don't just be a passive consumer of it.
Production of EVs is hard. There's a reason why Ford lost 1.3B in the first quarter of 2024 ($3B in 2023) on EVs and is slowing production.

Overall Tesla is producing more EVs than any American company by far.

Yes, meeting the semi production goal would have been nice, but I'd rather consumer car production be prioritized.
Electrify America!

(Sorry, I'll show myself out the door.)
You just said:

"The iPhone is too slow for the web, the screen is too small, and it's too expensive. This is a waste of time" (About the iPhone 1).

"This Gemini program is a silly waste of time, and will never get to the moon".

"The MacBook Air is really underperformant and too expensive" (The first one).

and so on.

Things improve over time, but only when someone is willing to actually make them. Try stuff. Learn lessons. Improve the technology, drive the price down and make iterative improvements.

We need electric semis. Are the version 1.0 ones being made now fantastic in every way? no. Will they get better over time, of course.

In 20 years we'll look back and say damn I'm glad companies were willing to try new stuff and advance technology so that things could actually get better.

This is, frankly, a very silly way of thinking.

Tesla and SpaceX are very admirable businesses that Musk deserves a lot of credit for, I'm totally with you there. But that someone made good decisions at one point in time does not imply that decisions made later are also good.

Businesses change, people change, the world changes.
I really like your on-device storage approach. I did something similar with an app for my smartwatch a few years ago to prompt/track my gym workouts. At the time and on the particular platform, other apps felt very spammy/scammy, and I just didn't care to go through the hassle of pushing/pulling my data with another application for what seemed like little to no value to me.

I haven't touched it in a while, but I've been thinking of a sync-to-another-device capability that I could then use with a locally-running AI instance to dig into. (Disclaimer: this is purely exploratory on my part; I'm sure someone will say 'why not do so-and-so'). As always, your mileage may vary. :-)

I agree.

I thought the German experiments of allowing the trucks to charge while driving with overhead charging wires was clever and could be a potential solution to this, since then you wouldn't have to waste any time waiting for the truck to charge, but it looks like the infrastructure for that might be too expensive to justify that.
This probably isn’t true for everyone, but being able to pause and rewind audio (podcasts or books on tape) without pulling out my phone is a big quality of life improvement for me.

Some favorites:

1. Don’t save up the good stuff (fancy wine, or china) for that rare occasion that will never happen; instead use them whenever you can.

2. Interview your parents while they are still alive. Keep asking questions while you record. You’ll learn amazing things. Or hire someone to make their story into an oral history, or documentary, or book. This will be a tremendous gift to them and to your family.

3. When shopping for anything physical (souvenirs, furniture, books, tools, shoes, equipment), ask yourself: where will this go? Don’t buy it unless there is a place it can live. Something may need to leave in order for something else to come in.

Also, there is a difference between being constructively involved in anything and enforcing some dead meat corporate speech code that is gaslighting you about your allegedly flawed expression and trying to make you love corporate compliance. If that is the nicest thing your company can muster, it should indeed try to stay as apolitical as possible.

Also you don't get to force compliance on customers if you don't want to get punished. The motivation behind it is irrelevant.
This is the kind of gen AI that I can really get behind. Great repo and easy to understand with the attached video. Is such a thing possible for Python? Or does the AST parser and code planner work best with static typing?
Reddit doesn't provide value to me anymore. I've been toying around with the idea of building out what I once used Reddit for - news from the Internet. Obviously, it's about 20 years post Reddit's inception, so I've been brainstorming how that would look today. I know I want a skimfeed-like "clean" site with OpenGraph support, but what else? Do we even need comments anymore? I'm half tempted to feed articles into AI, and get them to generate a few dozen comments. Then let users upvote those comments accordingly. Nobody can generate their own comments. Could that approach be fine tuned to a useful site? Or would it turn into a bigger echo chamber with everyone being racist? [1][2]

I can't find it but swear one issue was that trying to fully utilize an ev semi with NCM batteries for distance hauling (i.e. driving it, fast charging it, driving again) brought up concerns about battery degradation, akin to the stories you hear about taxi/rideshare drivers using superchargers on an NCM EV without any charge limiting.
