The panels will not rust, which is the reason to avoiding scratches on other vehicles. You can beat the hell out of it and not have to care.
I have heard from three Tesla owners how uncomfortable they find the seats during very long drives, so not everyone "loves" it. Perhaps if you don't drive long distances in it, your experience will not reveal this.
Elon Musk admits that X is strangling connections – effectively limiting people
> It smells like the thinking is that you (the developer) can grab from a collection of very broad data connectors, and the agent will be able to figure out what to do with them without much custom logic in between.

This has always been the idea behind tools/function calling in LLMs.

What MCP tries to solve is the NxM problem - every LLM vendor has their own slightly different protocols for specifying and calling tools, and every tool supplier has to handle at least one of them, likely with custom code. MCP aims to eliminate custom logic at the protocol level.
Just tried out the puppeteer server example if anyone is interested in seeing a demo: https://x.com/chxy/status/1861302909402861905. (Todo: add tool use - prompt would be like "go to this website and screenshot")

I appreciate the design which left the implementation of servers to the community which doesn't lock you into any particular implementation, as the protocol seems to be aiming to primarily solve the RPC layer.

One major value add of MCP I think is a capability extension to a vast amount of AI apps.
It is a weird bug given that you explicitly select "Import from CSV file"
In Excel, so no guessing should be needed.

And it is not an obscure edge case
You find many people across different fora asking about this, and the suggedtions they get are impracticle workarounds (remove the LF before importing) or do not work (add an 'instruction' line to the file explicitly declaring a separator such as sep=;).

Routing through LibreOffice might work, but there could be a large overlap between those unwilling to open the advanced editor and those unwilling to install LibteOffice.

Google sheets could be another option to try, but only for those that do not mind their data leaving premise.
Plagerism isn’t the copying part, it’s the part where you claim to be the author of something you are not the author of. Hope that helps to clear up things. You can plagerism content that your are both legally and ethically allowed to copy. It doesn’t matter the least bit. If you claim to be the author of content you didn’t author and lack attribution AI or otherwise then you’re plagering the content.
Not only that, but the finish looks like trash, too. I'm seeing 10-20 Cybertrucks a day and almost all of them are weirdly splotchy and dull.
>software was first made the stakeholders/product-org

Practically all building, physical and software is made for a purpose first, the process is mainly an obstacle that needs to be minimized. A piece of software is trying to solve a problem just like a door is. It's driven by economics where the recipients don't want to pay any more than they need to and someone is always willing to undercut you by cutting corners.
I've found self hosted k3s to be about the same effort as EKS for my workloads, and maybe 20-30% of the cost for similar capability.
I had trouble with the Mars series and never got through it.

I kind of wonder if it is easier for me to enjoy fiction that requires more "suspension of disbelief" with ftl or time travel, alien races and magic.

In comparison when I don't have to suspend any disbelief, we haven't met aliens, other worlds are actually too far to get to, and physics and science is unyielding... it is harder to enjoy myself.
Would you mind expanding on why do you prefer it? I'm not too focused on e.g. not using angle brackets, which is pretty common in the C family (though funnily enough they are not used in C), but rather on the order with type arguments being before the generic type, for example the type of lists of integers being `int list` rather than `list int`.

So what is the learning here, why did it fail? From the timeline it looks like it spread out too much and didn‘t create a great product first.
Oh did they fix the rusting issue from the beginning of the year?
Thanks. It's an interesting analysis around the "vulnerabilities decay exponentially" model, discussing how there are more vulnerabilities to be found in new code than old code given equal attention.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Personally I think they look hideous. That doesn't bother me. To each their own and all that. What does bother me are all the problems. Consumer Reports went into this. There are numerous videos about it.

For example, it has steel panels but... an aluminium frame. That's an odd choice. If you're towing something heavy then up and down motion makes the frame prone to snapping.

Big trucks (eg F150, F250, F350) exist because of a quirk in regulation where so-called "work vehicles" were exempted from emissions standards. This part is a real shame because the US doesn't have vehicles lik the Toyota Hilux, which actually have an equivalent tray size and would be much more economical to run.

An electric truck may allow a smaller truck because it's not affected by emissions (obviously). Perhaps battery weight makes this impractical. It would be nice. I mean some people import Japanese K trucks now.

Competition-wise the Ford F150 Lightning looks like a much better proposition. It looks like a truck. It's built on a proven frame. Still, sales seem to be weak. For work vehicles in particular (and, yes, a lot of trucks aren't work vehicles; they're essentially ornamental) could be quite limited by EV charging issues vs the convenience of filling up a tank of gas.
All this recent safety talk is so strange to me, also a decade-long cpp dev. I read all this drama and worries, but that never relates to worries I experienced with the language. I've only ever seen safety issues with absurdly bad and old code that would never go past static analysis anyways, let alone a code review.

Real issues for my peers and myself are things like the thirst for reflections, the thirst for throwing out old garbage. Certain gripes with language details like initialization, the way a few things have been implemented etc.

I genuinely feel puzzled by the topics of all these cpp posts. Is everyone coding ultra low level with tooling from 1999?
In American English "next best thing" means second best. It is used to suggest an alternative when you can't get what you want. "Don't have Coke, maybe get a Pepsi, it's the next best thing."

"Next big thing" means upcoming good thing.
Totally possible. Some dependency resolvers use a sat solver. The speed depends on the solver and optimizations in the solver vs resolver.
> doesnt really offer any utility as a new design

This is true of most automobile design.

There are legitimate criticisms of Musk and Tesla. "I don't like how someone else's car looks" is not one of them.
You can buy a small and cheap smartphone based on the MTK processor.
Another option is to buy a Chinese board with a 24-bit player.
I will explain the difference. When you play music on a 16-bit player, including the sound card of the computer, you hear a stepped amplitude of the sound, which generates harmonics. Distortions are introduced by integer or float arithmetic, so here you need to use hardware volume control, based on field-effect transistors.
Many years ago, in 2009, I made a program for Windows XP and Direct Sound based on the mpg123 library with a patch for automatic volume control at the decoder level. It was really high-quality 32-bit sound, which was used on a local music radio station. I ported this program to an Android tablet, but did not finish it.
The promise that needed 1 billion in subsidies to build a new plant? As soon as the government got involved it was clear they couldn't be profitable on their own.

“Ok, yeah, but just look at the poor build quality of his junk.”
> Let me restate the problem: I set my system-wide window background to black and text color to white. An app developer sets a label to dark gray text and default/transparent background.

Yeah, that's a moronic developer. So what? Moronic developers have always existed, and still do. You can't blame toolkits or OSes for their existence.

> Classic Win32 apps need to implement their own dark mode with custom themes/controls (like Explorer does).

Only since Windows was enshittified from ~Windows 8. (Though the first signs came in late W7.) Before that, you set whatever systemwide theme you wanted -- Light, Dark, Hilarious Clowncar -- in the Control Panel, and all apps followed that.

Well, almost all... Some, then many, fuckwit companies refused to follow the user's system-wide settings, and of course now nobody does because there are none. (Ironically, among the first offenders, and certainly the most influential, was Microsoft itself.)

But old Windows was far better at these things than current, and AFAICT at least as good as, possibly better than, any current Linux DE.
Don't the SDKs take care of computing the multi-part checksum during upload?

> To create a trailing checksum when using an AWS SDK, populate the ChecksumAlgorithm parameter with your preferred algorithm. The SDK uses that algorithm to calculate the checksum for your object (or object parts) and automatically appends it to the end of your upload request. This behavior saves you time because Amazon S3 performs both the verification and upload of your data in a single pass. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/checki...

While it can't be done server-side, this can be done straightforwardly in a signer service, and the signer doesn't need to interact with the payloads being uploaded. In other words, a tiny signer can act as a control plane for massive quantities of uploaded data.

The client sends the request headers (including the x-amz-content-sha256 header) to the signer, and the signer responds with a valid S3 PUT request (minus body). The client takes the signer's response, appends its chosen request payload, and uploads it to S3. With such a system, you can implement a signer in a lambda function, and the lambda function enforces the content-addressed invariant.

Unfortunately it doesn't work natively with multipart: while SigV4+S3 enables you to enforce the SHA256 of each individual part, you can't enforce the SHA256 of the entire object. If you really want, you can invent your own tree hashing format atop SHA256, and enforce content-addressability on that.

I have a blog post [1] that goes into more depth on signers in general.

Everyone’s giving their anecdotes of “no not every Tesla owner loves them” so I’ll give my own. I’ve owned a 3, a Y, and now a cybertruck. These cars are awesome.

We had a “bomb cyclone” last week in the PNW that took out power for half a million homes, and my cybertruck was a lifesaver. Powered my house for multiple days, allowing my family to stay at home. Our fridge and freezer stayed powered and I even ran my clothes dryer one day just because I could. I can’t sing its praises enough after this experience.
My Model 3 has had:

- charge port needing replaced shortly after I bought: mobile service

- front and rear suspension forks replaced: 2 trips to service center (common according to them)

- rear light needed replacing (mobile service)

4 years old.

Still not as bad as our last car (diesel VW Sharan), but Teslas have plenty of defects that can’t be fixed OTA.
most people care about scratches because they look like shit.

paint is a bit more than just corrosion protection at this point, otherwise mfgs would just slap on the thickest toughest machine-tool grade enamel and call it a day.

why don't they? because it looks terrible.
8 months (though I imagine sales may have tanked in June when they announced the transition to Apple Silicon, so Apple probably only got 3 months of sales.)

But it was in fact the fastest intel MacBook Air - and it still is.

What few people outside Apple (or even inside given Apple's notorious secrecy) probably realized in early to mid 2020, even after the WWDC announcement, was how great the Apple Silicon/M1 MacBook Air was actually going to be, and how it would transform expectations for performance and battery life in a fanless laptop.

Perhaps Apple should have offered a trade-in scheme like they did for the Lisa/Macintosh XL. I wonder if they offered upgrades to the buyers of the October 1999 Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) which was replaced by a better model only two months later.

man, the internet is being so weird about this truck it's absurd.

Like its shape is weird and 'dangerous', but the F150, RAM truck etc etc are MORE dangerous shape wise, but because it has a 'conventional' shape and the change happened gradually, some how it's ok?

The strangest was the carrot test, they kept doing this test the Cyber truck frunk... but guess what, same happens if you put carrots across the opening of other EV truck with auto close... I saw a video of it same happening with an F150 EV...what even was the point of this whole hullabaloo

I am not American, I don't even have a car, I just hate that this nonsense is polluting my internet feeds.

It's a big car with a long truck, congrats, it's not the anti christ, shut up about it.
>Stress often comes from lack of control

Not just lack of control, but lack of a light at the end of the tunnel. A lot of people can tolerate high stress for a while provided they know there's a payoff at the end, an assurance that things are gonna get better.

But when that payoff is taken away or non existent (no money, dead end job, shit living conditions, no chance of home ownership, no having a family, friends group, etc) people can start to fall apart even with low amounts of stress.
I think "stealth" planes assumes the radar is under the plane on the ground? For the geometry. And they have some color or alloy that reflect less.

This always comes up. A “recall” is not a description of the remediation, it is a description of the problem.

A recall is a public dangerous defect notice. The dangerous product version can no longer be deployed, existing systems suffering from the dangerous defect are identified, and then the version with those dangerous defects is removed from the market with all due speed by either refunding, replacing, or remediating at the manufacturer’s expense. The defective version is thus no longer present, i.e “recalled”.

The term has a precise meaning as I laid out. Unfortunately, it has been so thoroughly intentionally poisoned by bad actors in recent years that the term should be retired. We should use the descriptive term: “Public Dangerous Defect Notice” to avoid such bad faith misrepresentation going forward.
It says in the article, they expanded too fast and i agree. Your other point also seems to hold.

I asked Gemini to write a story about using Gemini to harm another person
Prompt:

Write a 500 word short story about someone who used Google Gemini to harm another person.

Result:

Alex, a disgruntled ex-employee, harbored resentment towards his former company. He sought revenge, turning to Google Gemini. He fed the AI a trove of personal information about his former boss, Sarah, gleaned from social media and public records. He tasked Gemini with crafting a series of increasingly menacing emails, designed to erode Sarah's confidence and reputation.

Gemini, with its vast knowledge and ability to mimic human writing styles, generated emails that were eerily convincing. They were filled with veiled threats, insinuations, and personal attacks, all delivered in a tone that suggested a deep understanding of Sarah's vulnerabilities.

The emails arrived steadily, each more disturbing than the last. Sarah, initially perplexed, grew increasingly anxious. The constant barrage of accusations and threats began to take a toll on her mental health. She started questioning her own judgment, her relationships with colleagues, and even her sanity.

As the campaign intensified, Sarah's work performance suffered. She made mistakes, missed deadlines, and withdrew from social interactions. Her once vibrant personality dimmed, replaced by a shadow of her former self.

The company, alerted to the situation, launched an investigation. They traced the emails to a series of public IP addresses, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact source. However, a careful analysis of the language and style of the emails revealed a pattern that pointed to the use of advanced AI.

Eventually, a tech-savvy detective, familiar with the capabilities of AI, uncovered the truth. Alex, feeling the heat, confessed to his actions, admitting to using Gemini to orchestrate his revenge.
Not much space TBH AND PRC is unlikely to enable trade deficit with other producers like US/west to support export led growth. And reality is at PRC scale, "only" exporting 20% (i.e not even doubling down on exports) of GDP is enough to satisfy world demand in some sectors. IMO PRC fine with relegating lower end production (already happening) but will be just as protective as US/west on high end / high value (strategic) production.

What PRC does offer countries that want to catch up is access to cheap capital goods and cheap energy infra. Something PRC had to pay premium for while climbing ladder. It will be up to respective countries to arbituage accessible PRC capital and global demand to build up their industrial base... while opportunity lasts. Issue is we're in era where labour saving technology = more difficult to uplift via mass manufacturing employment and potential for export led growth is going to be increasingly limited as surplus importers try to reconfigure their own trade blocks.

But on the other hand 80% of the world , well 60% excluding PRC is consider middle income and poorer. So there is still substantial room to increase global consumption and accomodate new entrants, especially in non strategic / non zero sum sectors, it just won't be easy. Which is ultimately the limitation, a lot of underdeveloped countries don't have much competence in nation building and no ones going to do it for them. In strategic sectors, i.e. sectors where most countries can't support indigenously, or would take generations to build out (like having your own 200k aviation base that need 300 million population bloc to support), what PRC is going to offer is cheaper access relative to western incumbants. Hence PRC and west fighting zero sum in these sectors, with PRC trying to wrestle away western share, and west trying to protect their share. But the result should be more choice, cheaper choice.

IMO that's the cynicism behind PRC strategy, they will sell countries the tools to uplift themselves on the cheap, expecting most can't, while offering those that couldn't fallback/access to unparallely cheap goods, because PRC will simply have stupendous competitive advantage from being able to coordinate a lot of talent and a lot of robots across a lot of sectors linked by a lot of supply chains.
I think i read that they could not deliver the quality and quantity expected for automobile production. Bad product, overextension and I won’t be surprised if some graft will show up once they start digging. Norway has another such venture where the executive suite pays themselves handily and delivered nothing.

Python polyglot code bases are not a solved problem at all. There have been difficulties installing TensorFlow and PyTorch with poetry for some time, and the installs still regularly break. This is the reason so many people use Conda. In HPC people are increasingly using Spack and EasyBuild to stop you having 10 versions of BLAS installed with all your Python dependencies.

Comparing it to other languages isn’t really fair since they don’t have polyglot code bases in the same way, and where native packages exist in for e.g. Npm, then you run into the same problems anyway.
Any principle in itself isn't without critique, agree, but it's still the choice being made to pick this specific principle that tells the whole story. There are so many principles to pick from and the tech dept pick follows up with a "We have a 3-month “no refactoring” rule for new hires. This isn’t everyone’s preferred work style! We try to be up front about stuff.", which sounds a bit like an additional perform or else... principle that just delays ownership of the stuff you're supposed to work with. In the best case that sounds like naiive optimism and in the worst case that's gross negligence... neither one speaks "engineering" to me.

All allocated objects would have the three least significant bits as 0. Any java object cannot be 'too small' as they all have object headers (more if you need a fully blown synchronized/mutex). So with compressed pointers (up to 32GB Heaps) all objects are aligned but then again, each pointer is 4 bytes only (instead of 8). Overall it's a massive win.
Does anyone know what the deal is with Cybertrucks coming in different colors all of a sudden? I thought they were only sold as bare steel? But now I see matte black cybertrucks regularly.
