It was always clear that the car's cost and divisive looks were always going to hold it back to a niche item. But I think the problem is bigger than that.

You could always forgive Tesla's shortcomings when they owned the market. When the Tesla Model S dropped, it invented the product category. When the Model 3 dropped, it was it's category leader. The Cybertruck was so late to the game that it's not even a competitive option in the electric pickup truck market.

Theoretically they could mess with their tooling to create a model with a more traditional/less expensive body and try to compete with the much cheaper Rivian.
I'm just 35 so I'm preparing. I've been doing 2-3 game jams per year for last 3 years and developing small plugins for engine I use. I can't transition into gamedev just yet, but it seems that landing a position at gamedev studio will be a logical continuation of career. I'm at the point where I can plan an indie game that could be worth of steam page, but a decent quality game would take at least a year.

Interested to know: Was there any specific reason you were interested in getting one?

I know it's kind of either love or hate with Tesla/Cybertruck online - I try and stay out of it. I just never quite understood the appeal; I saw it kind of as a "luxury pickup truck" that's electric, but I figured that if I had wanted to go that route (I didn't end up getting anything), I would get a better bang-for-the-buck with a established pickup truck like Ford or Ram or whatever.

Did it just come down to looks, or was there something else to it?

If investors saw Tesla as just a car company the stock would collapse. Musk keeps making promises and breaking them, but it seems to pump the stock thus far.

I asked "Which is louder, a 12.5 decibel scream, or a 12.8 decibel whisper?", which I wouldn't think has much of a presence in its training set, and it answered correctly.

May still get it wrong in more subtle ways, though. Personally, I think it'll continue to get physics wrong until someone builds it some robot arms so it can train on actually interactive physical spaces and behavior.

At least for HDCP, that's exactly how it works. From the HDCP 2.2 spec [1]:

> Device Key Set. An HDCP Receiver has a Device Key Set, which consists of its corresponding Device Secret Keys along with the associated Public Key Certificate.

> Public Key Certificate. Each HDCP Receiver is issued a Public Key Certificate signed by DCP LLC, and contains the Receiver ID and RSA public key corresponding to the HDCP Receiver.

> The top-level HDCP Transmitter checks to see if the Receiver ID of
the connected device is found in the revocation list.

[1]: https://www.digital-cp.com/sites/default/files/specification...
The "optional" portion is this part of the spec, not the time part.

> implementations can guarantee additional monotonicity via
the concepts covered in this section
Mozilla's new Orbit AI assistant for Firefox is in beta, BTW:

Remember even if timestamps may be generated using a monotonically increasing value that does not mean they were committed in the same order to the database. It is an entirely separate problem if you are trying to actually determine what rows are "new" versus "previously seen" for things like cursor-based APIs and background job processing. This problem exists even with things like a serial/autoincrement primary key.
I think that phrase of "relational first" explains it best. Anything that supports joins can support a graph. Whether it'll perform satisfactorily is going to depend on the compiler and use case/size.

> reality is it's not me that's saying this, the used car market is saying this. EVs simply don't hold their value on the used market

Those data defy simple explanation. The car with the highest 5-year depreciation is the Maserati Quattroporte (64.5%). After that the BMW 7 Series (61.8%) and Maserati Ghibli (61.3%).

So for starters, you have to control for (a) sports and (b) expensive cars. Niches EVs have targeted. The Model 3 is shown to have a 42.9% 5-year depreciation, around the category average for SUVs.
> In it, the author (correctly and fairly) skewers Netflix's model of producing huge amounts of low-quality content for an undiscerning audience.

I think somebody forgot about the before-times, before streaming giants were producing many critically acclaimed TV shows.

I like to spelunk old media, because I get to learn things about culture which I did not appreciate when I was young. I also have a HDHomerun tuner wired up to JellyFin so I still peruse broadcast TV in addition to watching some old broadcast TV shows.

Most TV shows have always been profoundly crappy in the very same way Netflix shows are. We forgot for a hot minute, because the streaming giants were competing with each other for prestige TV shows to drive subscription growth. It feels like to me this is a trend which is getting walked back after some major mergers.
> It's a book that starts off with very simple sentences and gradually introduces more complex topics like tenses and declensions as the story goes along.

I'm not sure this is actually an approach I'd recommend. I was recently asked to give some supplemental English tutoring to a Chinese brother and sister, 9 and 5 years old. The 5-year-old could already use and understand 'simple' sentences such as "what do you see?" and "where is your brother?", though I'll note that the subject-auxiliary inversion required by a question of that form isn't exactly a simple concept.

I got them a copy of The Cat in the Hat, and their mother objected that it was too advanced for either of them, because most of the verbs in The Cat in the Hat are in the past tense, which apparently isn't covered within the first four years of Chinese English instruction.

> I know lots of people who understand what free software is and choose to make a living selling proprietary software.

That's not what I asked you, though. Do those same people defend Microsoft and Google and Apple's business strategies? Do they respect what the apex of proprietary software looks like, replete with advertising, data collection, vaporware promises, removed features, integrated spyware and mandatory junk fees? Unless your friends are an LLM, I suspect they don't, because they've been burned before and know better. As no serious economist promotes laissez faire economics in the 21st century, laissez faire software is not healthy for humans either. The abuses are right in front of us, and the blame is simple to dole out.

It's for your own good that you stop replying to my comments if you're going to twist my words and avoid the topic. Free software isn't bound by the pragmatic demands of a market, and yes, that means that it can fail, but it can also end up displacing entire product categories as well. Anyone familiar with the past 3 decades of computing history knows this to be an irrevocable and proven fact. We would not be having this conversation on the internet if proprietary networking standards prevailed over open ones.

from https://carnewschina.com/2025/01/01/byd-sold-record-breaking...

BYD sold a record-breaking 514,809 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in December, bringing the cumulative 2024 sales to 4,272,145 units, up 41.3% compared to 3 million in 2023. This marks the first time BYD sold over 4 million cars annually.

Out of it, 1,764,992 were passenger BEVs (battery electric vehicles), an increase of 12% from 1.6 million in 2023. All-electric vehicles represented 41.5% of BYD’s total sales in 2024.

BYD sold 2,485,378 passenger PHEVs (plug-in hybrid vehicles) in 2024, up 72.8% from 1.4 million in 2023. Plug-in hybrids represented 58.5% of BYD’s total sales in 2024.
American gun control discourse basically completely ignores the reality that a huge amount of it is driven by gang violence and criminality. It is focused almost entirely on school shootings and things that suburbanite white people are afraid of. You're correct, they are mass shootings, but so many people aren't actually interested in stopping mass shootings on the whole, just the narrow class of them that may affect them.

I considered stuff that I could manipulate freely to be a separate thing. This meant that sheets of paper (being glued to the book) were not separate things. I don't recall checking for loose leaves that I stuck in books, though. I wasn't as critical back then as I'm now :)

Oh, and the idea breaks down entirely for fluid or gaseous things.

> don't think Tesla can get rid of Musk

They can't and they shouldn't. Tesla has a solid business. It just looks like it may have capped out its growth prospects in the U.S. and Europe. (In vehicles.)
Most do, but the scammers and hustlers often win. When you're scamming and hustling you don't have to do the real work, which means you can spend 100% of your time and energy marketing and you win there.

I'm deeply pessimistic about the future of open source. A lot of people are going to give up on it as it becomes clear that it's just free labor for SaaS companies and hustlers. That and I expect far more supply chain attacks in the future. I'm quite surprised there haven't been a lot more like the attempted XZ poisoning... yet. Or maybe there have been and we haven't caught them.

Edit: I forgot free training data for code writing AI. It's that too.

Kathy Clugston elevated the Shipping Forecast to poetry
Developer market salary. FB helped bring up total developer compensation.
Best listened to at night in bed as you drop off to sleep.

The roll call of BBC Radio presenters with superb delivery is a long one, but Kathy Clugston stands out as the one who more than any other elevated the Shipping Forecast to a form of poetry through her soothing delivery. She described it as "like a lullaby".

The Shipping Forecast, originally a practical tool for sailors, has become a beloved British cultural icon, evoking imagery of the sea and reflecting national identity.

See also The lull of the Shipping Forecast [1] and if you want to listen as you fall asleep try the current BBC archive of recent shipping forecasts [2] - note: also available via the BBC Sounds app which has a sleep timer.

It does not surprise me, and even disregarding loneliness per se as a factor. The erotic fandom/fanfiction space, and in general (written) erotica, was afaik always female dominated. I have not really followed this space recently, but it would not surprise me if roleplaying with yaoi-trained llms (or whatever is trending nowadays) was a thing right now in such subcultures. People there have _a lot_ of material to train stuff on.

One which needs to be opened to users/owners instead of locked away. A price-doubling 100% sales tax on Universal Machines which lock owners out like with video cards (and their firmware), should make products which are not fundamentally significantly GNU-ideals friendy unaffordable to the average consumer (and therefore not economically viable anymore). Siemens can still sell their $5MM machine for $10MM to BASF or whatever, because BASF can afford to borrow double to pay the tax, but Cletus and Dorothy will not be buying sony playstations and apple iphones because $2,000+ isn't worth it.

It does not go down to 15kw.

At old Tesla stations it went from 150kw to 75kw.

Any v3 station (first introduced in 2019!) will stay at 150kw to 250kw. I haven't seen a v2 station in 2 years now.

You also don't need a battery based on its age, you need it based on its mileage. Some people like my wife only drive 8k miles a year, which is more around 20 years...

Email: jerejacobson@protonmail.com

Hi, my name is Jeremiah. I am looking to join a small startup where I can contribute significantly to a product and work closely in a small team or at a company trying to solve interesting problems.

I just finished three years of work at a learning startup called Pivot Interactives, which Discovery Education acquired. While working for Pivot Interactives, I was a full-stack web developer implementing features from the design phase to deployment. I created easy-to-use and accessible tools for teachers and students to supplement high-school-level science labs. This included integrations with learning platforms, custom WYSIWYG editor components, auto-grading assignments, and student testing systems.

Before Pivot Interactives, I was a senior software development engineer at Corning Inc, creating hardware/software that quality controls consumer display glass in factories worldwide. I also wrote tools for scientists to interface with custom-made hardware and commercially available equipment. (DAQs, Motor Controllers, Liquid Crystal polarizers, etc.)

Musk fairly recently "switched sides" to be republican, presumably trying to pick up a new truck-centric user base in the US south.

Unfortunately, these figures show it backfired badly. He has alienated his mostly left-leaning fanbase, whilst seemingly failing to drum up any new buyers from the new crowd.

I encourage techies to dig into their wifi hardware & software end-to-end. Install smokeping on a raspberry pi (even a $10 zero works). Ping all of your home devices , your gateway, DNS & first hops of your IP.

You will discover all sorts of disruptions affecting your network quality, including interference.

For your primary devices like desktops & laptops, use mtr (my-traceroute) in a terminal window to watch your pings over time.

Your connectivity issues , particularly with VC, terminal emulation & gaming, are due to ping latency , not bandwidth issues.

You will find software issues like this one, the location services bug on MacOS, and others; as well as hardware issues due to transmission interference, noise, physical interference.

Consistent & low pings are critical.
The linked post is more a story of someone not understanding what they're deploying. If they had found a random blog post about spot instances, they likely would have made the same mistake.

In my experience, yes. Over the years I was involuntarily tasked to manage H1Bs. During onboarding, they always tell me things like they are happy to pull all nighters on my whim. I tried to be professional. I told them I am not tracking when they come to the office or when they leave. I don’t check who is logged in after hours. I only care if their stories especially critical ones are being blocked.
