As much as I dislike the company, I find these sort of discussions to be sort of tired, but what the hell, I'll bite. IME Tesla drivers are mostly average, but for the ones that aren't, let's say 90% are completely incompeten

I'm pretty sure that 50% of the cars driving between my city's downtown and the upper-middle class suburbs on a Friday and Saturday night are above the limit. Hell, I did it for years. Not saying it's a good idea, just that

Yep. I like smaller cars, but when I moved out of the bay area I rented a big truck that sat high and had excellent visibility. I loved it. I wouldn't buy a truck based on that, but I see why people do.

I'm saying the same thing about both SUVs and pickups. Many times it's the women who want the bigger vehicle.

IME it is often the female pushing for the bigger vehicle. My ex-wife kept pushing to upgrade our Subaru Outback to something bigger and we only had 2 dogs and no kids in the suburbs. Similarly, my wife hated my Chevy Bolt because of its s

Any news on the locations of the cuts? It looks like VMware is mostly in the Bay Area.

Because this is what the folks submitting and upvoting to HN feel is important, and the mods haven't removed it(yet). Online communities are more or less representations of the most active participants.

I think the pro-gun side is convinced that there will be many more dead kids in a world without guns, so showing them pictures of actual dead kids isn't going to do much. > People in the US are too politically encamped I think polit

Not saying this is you, but I'm surprised how many managers seem unaware of the prevalence of social deficiencies among the highest performing engineers. 20 years ago this was just sort of a given. I have to regularly defend a few hi

Pushing is fine if people can consume it asynchronously, and if you actually stick with it and don't forget to publish frequent updates. In my decades as a SWE, there is one way that worked better than all others: having a competent pr

I wouldn't focus too much on current battery specs. Any sort of mass-rollout is going to take long enough that battery tech may be very different when it happens. There's a lot going on with improvements to existing tech as well

Rewind back to 2013-14 when AI was blowing all of our minds and it seemed like we just needed 5 years and a well trained AI would handle everything... Just like developing a product, the first 80-90% of the functionality is easy and is done

These systems are generally never used to solve low-level crimes. When they are, parallel-construction is used to avoid publicizing their existence. These systems are reserved for direct threats to national interests.

Sounds tempting, but every time I try something like this, the momentum runs out after a few months to a year, and I'm left with a decaying side-project consuming more of my time and energy. Is there a reasonably priced alternative to

I tried this by grabbing a sound sample of a meditation bell and playing it every few minutes by calling mpg321 in a bash while loop along with a call to sleep. It... sort of worked, for a bit, and then I just tuned it out. I still like it

I don't think your average Rivian or E150 customer is in the same group as someone interested in buying a Cybertruck. Some people want practical trucks. Some people want Cybertrucks(for various reasons). I'm not saying the Cybe
