I think the pattern is less "Tesla can't invent anymore" and more that the company seems much worse at turning ambitious concepts into mature, supported products
32.

And this is probably the core issue. Solar Roof was trying to be a roofing product, an energy product, and a design product all at once
33.
by RataNova 4mo ago
Yeah, and the problem is that the premium isn't small enough to hand-wave away as aesthetics
34.
by RataNova 4mo ago
I don't think the failure is that integrated solar tiles are impossible. It's that Tesla seemed to underestimate how much of this business is execution, service and long-term support rather than just product design

I agree phages are probably part of the answer

Medicine has always borrowed from biology's more dangerous toolkit

Nature is probably still one of the best drug discovery libraries we have

The path of least resistance usually wins, especially when the pricing hides the real cost
39.

That's a fair concern, but I'd separate training from inference here
40.
by RataNova 5mo ago
The biggest impact of local models may simply be that they prevent remote inference from becoming the only game in town
41.
by RataNova 5mo ago
I mostly agree, though I think local AI will need better UX around failure modes. Cloud models are often used not just because developers are lazy, but because they are more capable and easier to support consistently across devices.

The phone in your pocket did not necessarily destroy that. What changed more was the disappearance of legible ownership and locality
43.
by RataNova 5mo ago
The old web was not necessarily better in every way but it had a clearer boundary: you sat down, went online, did something and then left
44.
by RataNova 5mo ago
The risk is that if companies stop training humans to make those calls, the automated judge becomes unquestionable rather than useful
45.
by RataNova 5mo ago
There is a difference between understanding the shape of a solution and keeping the "finger memory" of a language alive
46.
by RataNova 5mo ago
The danger is not using a tool. We all use tools... The danger is skipping the part where your own brain builds a model of the problem
47.
by RataNova 5mo ago
That's true in theory, but I think the hard part is timing
48.
by RataNova 5mo ago
AI is almost a distraction from the older pattern: management discovers a way to make the spreadsheet look better this quarter and the hidden cost only shows up years later
49.
by RataNova 5mo ago
The worrying scenario is not that AI writes code. It's that companies stop creating the people who can tell whether the code is any good.

AI might shake things up, but I wonder if instead of "going back," it'll just blur the lines
51.
by RataNova 6mo ago
It's nice to hear someone who's been on both sides still hold onto that appreciation
52.
by RataNova 6mo ago
What stood out to me wasn't just the farming process (which is fascinating in itself), but how much of it sits at the intersection of tradition, family and constraints that don't quite make economic sense anymore
53.
by RataNova 6mo ago
Nothing says "this is real engineering" like discovering that even the bathroom has a dedicated expert and a troubleshooting playbook
54.
by RataNova 6mo ago
How much of aerospace design used to treat the crew as an adapter bolted onto the machine
55.
by RataNova 6mo ago
A good reminder that standardization matters
56.
by RataNova 6mo ago
When the problem is well-defined, the backend systems are integrated, and the AI has actual authority to act, it can be dramatically better than traditional support queues
57.
by RataNova 6mo ago
I think the post is implicitly assuming a much narrower scope than "full service advisor" but it doesn't state that clearly
58.
by RataNova 6mo ago
This is cool, but I wonder how it holds up outside the "happy path"
59.
by RataNova 6mo ago
I think a lot of people are starting to feel this
60.
by RataNova 6mo ago
Feels like the real missing piece is user control: let people opt into updates, choose what gets enabled, and turn off data collection
