I have friends on the Autopilot team (and a son). Their goal is by end of year. I've been on HN for 15+ years, and seemingly the only downvotes I get are when I post my thoughts and opinions on Tesla.

Overvalued by traditional (PE) means. I've ridden in Waymo (50+) and Austin Robotaxis (12). Tesla has Waymo beat in terms of human-like feel, interior features (sync to your own Spotify, Youtube, etc). When Tesla removes the passenger

I own 9,000 shares and started buying in 2019. We own 3 Teslas and all have FSD. I've taken 10+ Robotaxi rides in Austin. And my son is an engineer there. I can assure you the Optimus program is no gimmick. You're falling for many

Yes. 50-100hp depending on Model 3 or Y. VW offers ~25hp.

Seriously? FSD Tracker? Qualitative, unscientific, ridiculously-low sample size. Straight out of the mouth of an LLM...

You seem to have it all figured out.

Congrats on shipping! Here's some quick feedback -- hope it's useful: 1. Is the little bug icon sufficiently visible? I'm not sure... 2. Do visitors automatically know what to do with the bug? You have a tooltip, but do all v

I've been using Windsurf for a few weeks. I'm a novice programmer trying to build a web app using React and NextJS. The "context-in-the-codebase" thing for AI-based IDEsis overrated IMO. To extract the most from it, you

I use it every day on every street in Vancouver. Where do you come up with your information?

I’d say 500M WAUs on chatGPT alone qualifies as widespread use.

What about using Marvel superhero names (with permission, of course)? The studio keeps giving us stronger and stronger examples...

But 4.1 isn't in the web UI... only the API. So use it in the system prompt in the API call?

He only holds ~15% of Tesla. His real money is in SpaceX... 50% ownership there. I wish people would think just a little before parroting the "hit Musk where it hurts" drivel.

I'm one such person. I just visited because the weather was incredible and the people were/are fabulous.

The "country" is hinting? What exactly does that look like? The Americans I just spent a week with were lovely.

Victoria-based Canadian here. Just back from a week in Palm Springs and a road trip to Disneyland. Met lots of visiting Canadians and talked to lots of Americans. Much of the discussion was around the horrible currency exchange rate. Why do

It's unlikely the rift will have any real impact: "In 2025, Quilty forecast that it [Starlink] will count 7.8 million people around the world as customers and generate $11.8 billion in sales." It is currently and likely will

What's happening? I've been reading HN for 15 years, and I'm seeing more and more political BS disguised as something worth sharing HN... wtf?

Just did a CTRL-F and I am shocked nobody is talking about the magnificent McIntosh. Does the rest of the world (outside of Canada) not get them? The fruit has red and green skin, a tart flavour, and tender white flesh, which ripens in late

It was, in fact, the booster ("coming in harder and faster"). The upper stage's orientation was being tested (nose down until final flip) as was the removal of 2,100 heat shield tiles.

How do you know with certainty that you do not dream? You spend zero minutes in REM? Do you track with Whoop or something similar?

6 million cars equipped with the ADAS (FAR more than anyone else), so your statement is misleading.

The losses are currently in the neighborhood of $1B per year. That may or may not reduce... scaling is hard. For every car they add right now, the worse the loss becomes. So I'm a little skeptical on your valuation estimate.

Looks like YC is moving to 4 cohorts annually -- and I agree with you on the AI product density in the past few batches -- but I've heard (from two alum) that the smaller sub-cohorts (i.e., within a batch) make it feel smaller and more

I took a Waymo this past weekend in SF. 8 miles, $41, and 51 minutes to cross town in light-medium traffic. It clearly has to avoid certain routes due to insufficient HD mapping -- like construction. 51 minutes is way too long, fun as the

I get such a laugh out of the negative sentiment about Tesla and Musk on HN. Such a predictable crowd.
