Cybertruck 1.99% interest rate

"The widely panned [Cybertruck] vehicle is a flop, and Tesla is reckoning with existing stock it simply can't sell. To help entice buyers, Tesla is offering a 1.99 percent interest rate on new Cybertruck orders financed through Tesla."

Model_3 0.00% interest rate

"If you're willing to apply for a $7,500 federal tax credit on a new Model 3, Tesla is offering zero percent loans for "well qualified" buyers."

Model_3 0.99% interest rate

"If you're not interested in that tax break, you can still get a 0.99 percent loan if you're "well qualified," which typically means a credit score of 700 or better."

"Tesla sales are also down 76 percent in Germany, 75 percent in Spain, 72 percent in Australia, and 45 percent in Europe as a whole. In the U.S., reports peg Tesla's sales decline at 11.6 percent year over year."

Thanks. This leads me to the conclusion reverse engineering and production of these GE engines is a priority.

How big is your team? How many people touch it? Are you leaving it for the next developer to deal with after you leave? Have you dealt with hiring? Does your platform 100% stay in JS/pug or do you mix it with backend views?

There's a million considerations.

> Ruby on Rails went through this over a decade with HAML with wide scale adoption and it was largely a mistake, projects always end up moving back to HTML.

No they don't. Perhaps the most visible projects do. Perhaps there is an overall trend. Even if projects change from one tech to another, it doesn't mean the original choice was a mistake.

>Ive been down that rabbithole enough times and it's simply not worth the mostly overstated DX benefit.

[to you]

I have not seen any statements about Pug's "DX benefit" to know, but I do find I greatly prefer it, to the point where I'm willing to put in the work to enable Pug in any project I'm allowed to.

Just throwing a needless insult out there?

"Always always" is never never right.
Also a clash with Trump or other MAGA figureheads is likely and Musk will be kicked out from the MAGA team.
There isnt the slack in the US labor force to rebuild the manufacturing base. Not without significant inflationary pressure. Especially with the hostility towards migaration.
I expect "illegal" action in the sense that it will sometimes turn out the executive doesn't have the authority to do it when tested by courts. I expect that to happen when the executive tries to push its agenda past an obstructionist Congress (for better or worse). It's not something I would consider "illegal" in the sense you could go to jail for doing it. But the reasons for acting a certain way absolutely matter here as they always do, and I am much more concerned about sanewashing with both-sideisms. Not just the reasons, but the extent to which he is willing to circumvent established systems of how basically everything works is much more concerning than attempting to pass EOs that are eventually struck down in the courts.
Speaker notes seem to need an extra step; start an additional terminal on the laptop screen (not the presented screen), then start the speaker notes instance via a terminal command. PowerPoint understands the difference between your own laptop screen and the external output.

Still, good that they thought of including speaker notes, plus this is more flexible in combination with ssh.
Thanks for looking into it!

I modified the footnote to get rid of the misleading statements regarding the 'backfiring' of the optimization. :)
I've been using Claude for about 3 months now. What I've learned is that you have to learn how Claude "thinks" about your project, meaning what kinds of mistakes he makes. They're pretty consistent. As you uncover each new kind, compile a list of things to remind him of each time. For my own project, some of my reminder items to give him each chat (sometimes multiple times in the chat) include: "maintain a single source of truth", "avoid duplication", "stick to our established architecture instead of building new architecture". I always make sure he has an up-to-date file tree to look at. I remind him to ask me if there's a particular file he needs to see for reference instead of making up something new. I also say to make the changes specific to just what needs to be changed, rather than building in stuff and "anticipating" problems that aren't even here yet. Stuff like that. By the way, Project Knowledge is a very useful feature. Just don't expect Claude to ever look at it after your first statement/question. That's when he looks at what's there.

I would have said this in the past, but at this point I don't think it matters that much anymore.

1. Code copyright has devalued a lot in general, as you can code significantly faster with LLMs and use them to launder GPL'd code into whatever you want.

2. Big tech seems to be getting away with most other forms of abuses these days, GPL wouldn't really stop them from doing anything important.

To the extent that code is being devalued, I would say that these LLMs are a benefit to open source overall, as devaluing of code also reduces the opportunity cost of open sourcing software. They also somewhat level the playing field between single-contributor open source projects and companies with teams of developers, because an individual is almost always limited by the rate at which he/she can write or architecture code, whereas teams have significant non-code overheads (meetings, reviews, bureaucracy).

I think you need the populace on your side first, though. Otherwise how can you change anything if you have neither government nor a majority?

Unfortunately, I don’t see any way to change the minds of the American populace. They’ll have to learn the hard lesson of where this stuff goes. The problem is that we all have to learn that lesson alongside them whether we need it or not.
The Economist gives a more nuanced view [1]. Essentially saying the deterrent is independent and if support was pulled by the US that there wouldn’t be a ‘cliff edge’, which would potentially give time to replace.

The UK has produced its own nuclear weapons in the past and has weapons grade processing at Sellafield. There’s ~140 metric tons of separated plutonium stored there.

It is apparently enough material to build tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. Not every warhead has to be a billion megatons to be a deterrent.

I think the link between diet sodas is more "I am not drinking sugar, so I can eat more" Not so much, "diet soda makes you fat directly"
That any discussion around systems that uses some arbitrary size of tables/rows/etc is empirically disproven.

Moreover, any exaggerated example of a bygone time is unrelated, as many SQL-driven systems still exist today. I work on one such system which is much larger than the example given, and not long ago, I increased performance of some ActiveRecord queries 1000x by simply rewriting them in SQL. (No hate against ActiveRecord, I use it regularly. It just takes a lot of discipline once you hit queries of a certain complexity.)
My first attempts at public speaking were a frozen horror. But I kept doing it, and it kept getting easier and easier.

I recommend that when there's an opportunity to get up in front of a mike, take it, and get comfortable with it. It's a skill that will serve you well.
Free functions like `std::begin` are meant for generic code. Apart from that, how would you even access the private members if the dot-operator was overloaded? (C++ does not support overloading the dot-operator for good reasons.)
This is such an important point, and why I believe the Dems constantly "get owned".

Frankly, everyone has prejudices, some stronger than others, but the Dems made it part of their ethos that if you even acknowledge having some of these prejudices that you're a bigot. But their fatal flaw is the Dems convinced themselves that very few people harbor these beliefs.

Very real strategic case in point: I think it sucks that this is our current reality, but the American populace at large has now shown multiple times that they are not willing to elect a woman from the managerial class as President. It's not just Dems (e.g. Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris) but Republican women have also been rejected multiple times (e.g. Nikki Haley, Carly Fiorina). I am not in any way saying being female is the only reason these candidates were rejected (indeed, I think one flaw on the Democratic side is that they pushed this "they just hate women" narrative too strongly), but in a ~50/50 electorate, a few percentage points makes all the difference.

So the problem for the Dems is they want to appeal to this "higher nature", but, again, as much as I may personally not like to believe this, I strongly think that if they put forth another woman at the top of the ticket in the near future that they will lose, again.

Another Kissinger quote that sort of fits the current situation:

Portfolios also take time. It also takes time to evaluate portfolios. Not to mention that portfolios can be faked like everything else.
If you are regarded very highly, if you suggest to your manager there's another person out there like you they will work the system to get that person lined up for an interview ASAP. If you aren't very highly regarded, your suggestions will be put into the HR system and never looked at.

If your manager is inexperienced or not very good then there's nothing you can do about that.

There is something here that doesn't sit right.

We use BQ and Metabase heavily at work. Our BQ analytics pipeline is several hundred TBs. In the beginning we had data (engineer|analyst|person) run amock and run up a BQ bill around 4,000 per month.

By far the biggest things was:-

- partition key was optional -> fix: required

- bypass the BQ caching layer -> fix: make queries use deterministic inputs [2]

It took a few weeks to go through each query using the metadata tables [1] but it worth it. In the end our BQ analysis pricing was down to something like 10 per day.

Explicit ontology construction is overused and implicit ontology construction is under-recognized.

What made ontology click for me was that OOP is explicit ontology construction. Carving the world into similar types of things so we can use words to talk about referants is implicit ontology construction. The linguistic world is not isomorphic to the physical world but it has enough utility that we find it useful to confuse the map and territory.

This confusion is one of the greatest sources of human conflict.
It's an outlier because unlike other service industries the software has global presence. An app written by software engineers laid-off 3 years ago will still run by itself with exceptions like servers running out of disk space.
Unlike other services industry tech workers get laid off for:

1. When the product has failed market-fit and company is not raising anymore capital.

2. When the backlog has been cleared.

Tech workers get more pay by job hopping.
The biggest issue IMO is that engineers who work on projects like these inevitably get bored and move on, and then the company is stuck trying to add features, fix bugs and generally untangle the mess, all taking away time and resources from their actual product.

What kind of “peace” though? The kind of peace that Bucha got when it was under occupation? Murder of civilians, torture chambers, rapes? Do you even have the slightest idea of the humanitarian catastrophe that this “peace” would be for Ukrainians after three years of fierce fighting?

Wanting to reduce your expense is one thing. But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re actively aiding Russia at the moment. To the point of pressuring private companies to not share satellite data, and threatening to cut off Starlink that Poland is paying for.

Exactly. There probably is a kill switch (the temptation to add one is just impossible to resist), but it's not even needed. Stop maintenance, and in a matter of days these things can't fly.
In most countries, not really.

Some countries have problems with people and IDs, like US, so that's a different story.
The F35 is better, but they're not going to trust or give business to the US anymore. The Typhoon, Rafale and Grippen are good enough, so we'll see more purchases of those.
Sadly we’ll have many agent Smiths but as in the movies, without some rudimentary Matrix (it’s possible to make some good democratic one), Neo and we will have no chance against them.

Agents can change our world and us, but we have limited or no capability to change the online world and their often private multimodal “brains”. We can represent them as familiar 3D environments and this way level the playing field.

Agents are like strict librarians who spit quotes but we cannot enter the library. It has too many stolen things and companies don’t want us to see that, they won’t make 3D game-like representations of those libraries

I roast around 15 pounds a year. I noticed prices have gone up 1-2 dollars/pound at my main supplier (sweet marias). The average is now about $8.5/pound. That is a price I'm still comfortable with.

At my consumption level so far the price changes haven't been a big deal. It could be that high end beans haven't been as affected - or maybe that was the 'brutal' price hike.

Doesn't have to be an age thing, but it often is an age thing. Because lots of us were carefree before dependents and a mortgage as well.

Unexpected or deliberate change was an opportunity, a challenge, a stimulant! Job hopping (or hopping around relationships) when young can be about exploring the world, finding yourself and your values and isn't inherently bad.

Then you discover what you are good at doing and that you like doing and dedicating time to (or perhaps another person with whom you want to spend all your time) and your priorities change.

Then you might have kids and the work becomes more about financial security for the family then about your personal growth. And so you aren't looking at layoffs and unexpected change as opportunity because you are happy with what you've got.

It just often is an age or 'stage of life' thing for many people.
I just saw that this comment was fading from downvotes.

I think HN is just overwhelmed with people who somehow got hired into technical jobs but can't do them. Anyone who thinks that 'finding second largest number in an array' or 'finding if a string is a substring of another string' are hard, or that the pressures of an interview are a valid excuse for being unable to do it are simply not intelligent enough to be successful in this field and they are casting about for some excuse to protect their ego. These are problems that a bright 12 year old with no programming experience could do for fun, and these folks are purporting to be educated, experienced, professional programmers.

As much as people like to say 'muh anxiety', I've yet to meet someone who can't do very basic coding in an interview but also they are capable of basic coding in any other context. I would suggest that this sort of person is so rare that you will probably never meet one over the course of a normal career.
Again, you’re not really figuring anything out if the only way around a problem in your eyes is “just break the law”. No duh - that works for 90% of problems.

And if the other half is throwing up your hands and hoping the companies with a vested interest and legitimate use cases will randomly stop, I have bad news about the likelihood of that succeeding.

The US did not invade Korea. Post WWII, Korea was split into its northern and southern zones which ended up becoming North and South Korea (the intent had been to make it one independent Korea, but put the USSR and USA in a room together and there will be no agreement on how to do that). In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The UN called for a military response, the US supplied most of that response. But the US did not invade Korea.

North Korea invaded South Korea, the US and others fought them back on behalf of, and with, South Korea . China and the USSR supported North Korea, which is ultimately why it ended in a stalemate.
Neither the competition or the antics are the cause.

The combination however has been highly toxic for Tesla, like Apple it had an initial lead and a high trust factor due to size, experience and perceived tech lead. This also allowed them to charge a premium compared to the other makers.

Elon single-handedly eroded most of the trust factor and now that people are looking at alternatives (and being happy), they'll notice that there isn't much of a reason to be paying the premium in 2025 (not like 5-10 years ago).

The biggest question now is if they can ever recapture the position they held even with Elon gone or if they're yet another BEV automaker, trust as the saying goes is hard to gain and easy to squander (And even if Elon is gone, some of the previous halo goes with him but the antipathy cannot be gotten over with him in the reins, catch-22).
Also here's the reply to that one,

255 is not ideal either because it results in a partial vector at the end of either 15 or 31 elements. 256-V where V is the vector size is better, so 240 for SSE2/NEON or 224 for AVX2.

This is still lower than optimal because the compiler will reduce to a uint8. Both SSE2 and NEON support reducing to a wider value by _mm_sad_epu8 and vpadal_u8, respectively. This allows for 255 iterations in the inner loop instead of 15 or 7.

Not sure about MITM, no proof against it but seems hardly likely.

It might have been some weird attempt to reduce latency. Wireshark seemed to show responses that were sent before the request that triggered it had finished transmitting. The handshake seemed really shuffled out of order. Watching curl do the handshake sent far fewer bytes.

You’d be surprised on the Israel thing. There are not-small sections of white supremacy and neo-Nazism who see Israel as the realization of the kind of ethnostate they think should be the norm. “Yes, hooray Israel! All the Jews we want to expel should go over there! It’s a model state!”

To the rest of this, playing with Nazi shit to “trigger the libs” is a whole thing on the right, and I 100% think it’s what Elon was doing (and why we’ve seen more of it since, from others). The other explanations are bizarre (what the fuck is “my heart goes out to you”? The closest thing I can think of to that sort of gesture doesn’t risk this kind of confusion) and this kind of “trolling” is read as absolutely serious and a show of support by the worst elements of the right.

For my part, play with Nazi shit, you’re a Nazi, and so’s anyone who keeps associating with you. Most of the right didn’t run away from this, so we’ve got a pretty serious Nazi problem now.
