It's not just a "rich city" effect. That's kind of the key point in the whole EV debate... once it's mainstream and infrastructure is there, it stops being a luxury signal and just becomes… normal urban life, with s

I don't think the author is saying "subscriptions are good", more like "if Honda isn't even building the capability, they're not even in the game"

Honestly this feels less like Honda "killing EVs" and more like Honda admitting it never really committed in the first place

I suspect a lot of people don't actually dislike software development, they dislike developing without anyone invested in their development

Learning the lower layer felt like earning access to the next level of reality. You had to understand the constraints to make anything happen at all. Now it increasingly feels like you can just describe the intent and skip straight to the o

A lot of people aren't actually chasing leisure or money as much as they're chasing irreplaceability

In real life, every additional data point has a cost...

I don't think this is doctors being captured by the system so much as medicine being cautious about scaling interventions without strong outcome data
69.
by RataNova 8mo ago
But medicine isn't quite the same feedback loop as downtime monitoringg

But saying MRIs "suck at cancer" feels off. They're actually first-line or gold standard for certain cancers

It seems like the key missing piece is long-term randomized data showing mortality benefit and cost-effectiveness in average-risk populations

AI doesn't fix design debt, it amplifies it

Retro emulators are a perfect "happy path" for vibe coding

Speedups without changes in expectations just reset the baseline, and then you're sprinting forever

Even with all the pain, getting real units into real people's homes is still kind of magical

In some sense it seems like hardware has two cliffs: the handmade one, and the factory one. You need to fall off both to really know what you’re doing

What China really has is not just cheap labor but dense, living industrial ecosystems

by RataNova 8mo ago
Feels like the real skill in hardware isn't just engineering, but learning how to be absurdly literal with reality

How many of the failures weren't engineering problems, but interface problems between humans: missing labels on drawings, ambiguous cable lengths, assumptions about powder coating thickness, etc

We seal things, dry them out, sterilize them… and life just adapts sideways

So routine cleaning only works for objects that can tolerate it, and a lot of cultural heritage simply can't

If infestations are hidden because they signal institutional failure, it's no surprise these xerophiles flew under the radar for so long

It gets lost when everything is summarized as wet

That passage is such a good reminder of how long this rhythm has been part of California's identity

It's rain on already saturated ground plus wind, which turns into downed trees and infrastructure issues instead of just replenishing water

The difference between 0% and almost 0% is mostly a cartographic one

by RataNova 9mo ago
Yet being "drought-free" today doesn't contradict climate change

Vertical integration only makes sense if you're actually ramping output

And Tesla's ability to tightly align promises with engineering and supply chain execution seems to be slipping

Yet the 4680 was supposed to be a platform shift, not a single-model experiment
