Honestly, I think the impact of AI on jobs at all levels is being understated by folks here, as insane as that is. Oh, I don't mean because it is actually doing people's jobs, or even because it is making people more productive (t

I think this is the other way around. It won't be cuda on anything except for nvidia. However, this might make mlx into a much stronger competitor for Pytorch.

>Observability is a lot like imaging or patching: a necessary process to be sure, but do you really need a Cadillac Escalade (New Relic/Datadog/etc) to go to the grocery store when a Honda Accord (self-hosted Grafana + OTel) wi

In my experience, the people willing to pay the most to not host it themselves are often the big companies that are long past VC money. They'll gladly pay someone to do it and have a big team of engineers and planners to support the ou

I understand the thinking here, but this is too early to be too negative, IMO. For the first day, I think this looks like a reasonable first step. If they are still doing this in 3 months, it'd be a bad sign, of course. Their plan is f

Maybe you have confused it with iron phosphate, which is also fairly popular in lower cost EVs? That one has a lot of advantages, but does have relatively poor energy density.

Put that plan underground and add a few more vehicle classes and you'd have invented the boring company! I wish I knew how much that cost, but I'm starting to see its point now.

Yeah, I honestly think some of the language used with LoRA gets in the way of people understanding them. It becomes much easier to understand when looking at an actual implementation, as well as how they can be merged or kept separate.

Yeah, I've had almost the same experience with people and ORMs. Often they'll make a good point about some weakness of some specific ORM, but it is almost always some use case that represents 1% (or less) of their application. Wor

I can't take an article seriously with that headline.

by _ea1k 1y ago
Yes, and most people hate it when they do that.

by _ea1k 1y ago
That's what humans are doing most of the time, just without the math part.

It is exactly what they said at the time: "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." They offered this statement along with a "good faith" patent pledge that

That is a fair point. I own a Y and have had both sides to this. Sometimes I carry very irregular cargo that fits perfectly and the space is really incredible. Other times, I have something that should fit, but can't readily fit throug

It has been a weird trend on HN for a while now. Some Tesla articles are nearly ignored, and others just get filled with trolls. It is fairly obvious that the loudest have little experience with the product.

Volvo plans to introduce a level 3 system in the future.

AFAIK, the whole industry is really inconsistent on this making comparison of factory #s nearly impossible. Things like Bjorn's banana box test are better as practical measures, IMO. The Ioniq 5 and Y are virtually the same, with the w

No, but they should test drive the car before they buy it and decide if it is acceptable, just like everyone does when they buy a car.

by _ea1k 1y ago
They've never been that. Their goal has always been to be the highest volume car manufacturer in the world, not some weird status symbol. The Model Y being the best selling car in the world for 2 years in a row is a part of that. There

That was always intended to be a reciprocal agreement, similar to the ones used in the software industry to defend against patent trolls. Tesla has a history of being very concerned about that type of behavior and its impact on their busine

Oh, that explains everything. Next we will come full circle with AI being trained on this conversation. Sigh...

That's true, but it is all relative. 70k+ mile tires for cars and suvs are fairly common. They sacrifice some ride quality and performance, but not so much as to be unsafe.
173.
by _ea1k 1y ago
I knew that there had to be a mistake somewhere. No bus tires to not typically last 500k miles. <100k is the norm, and really not more than a long-life car tire. They do get retreaded more often than car tires do, but that just means the

I've seen a lot fewer weird refusals from it than from Claude. Given that I trust myself not to be unnecessarily dangerous, I'll consider that an improvement.

Honestly, that is a really fair counterpoint. I've been playing with neovim lately and it really feels a lot like some of the earlier IDEs that I used to use but with more modern power and tremendous speed. Maybe we will all use LLMs o

Honestly, it isn't just you. I had to hold off on 3.13 for quite a while too, because of various package conflicts. It isn't terrible, especially thanks to things like pyenv, but it is far from perfect.

by _ea1k 1y ago
Yeah, that and the portability are really incredible and underrated. It is funny, because I constantly hear things like "write once, debug everywhere", but I have yet to see an alternative that has a higher probability of working

On the contrary, I often mention here just how transformative I expect it to be. I think AI is still being underestimated by a lot of people here. That's exactly why I want more people to have it and more smaller companies to be able t

This was interesting: "Grok 3's BigBrain mode is not publicly available." - What is "BigBrain"?

by _ea1k 1y ago
To be fair, that's also what a lot of us used to say about IDEs. In reality, plenty of folks just turned vim into a fighter jet and did just as well without super-heavyweight llms. I'm not totally convinced that we won't see
