It is funny that this is getting downvoted. AFAICT, the answer to my question is actually "no". :)

Growth was well over 100% last year, with expansions in every market (Phoenix, San Francisco, and LA). In 2025, they've added Austin, Silicon Valley, and will soon be adding Atlanta and Miami as well. They've also partnered with H

I think some of the takes in this piece are a bit melodramatic, but I'm glad to see someone breaking away from the "it's all a hype-bubble" nonsense that seems to be so pervasive here.

I've thought about this quite a bit. I think a tool like that would be really useful. I can imagine asking questions like "I think this big codebase exposes a rest interface for receiving some sort of credit check object. Can you

That Wayfair scenario is very familiar to me. I had a really similar experience with them delivering a table and chairs. They stayed for a shockingly long time to assemble them. I figured it was just really hard to assemble. That was somewh

Good point. It took a while to get going, but the growth rate is starting to look really incredible now.

New Model Y deliveries didn't really get to a good pace in the US until about mid-March. Toward the end of the month, people said the new Y delivery was "same day" in the US. I looked and saw a few available, but only really

TBH, I still wonder if some of their videos are CGI. They offer real versions for sale, but they seem to be significantly more limited than the videos imply. Have they actually demonstrated the more dramatic stuff at any in-person demos?

I get why people think this, but the comments of the protestors make it clear that this wouldn't help. They'd keep going for as long as he's a shareholder, as the intent is to personally hurt his financial returns. Mere remov

Despite an upcharge, there was virtually no inventory and the regular priced versions won't launch until tomorrow (probably). Lots of people with orders weren't able to take delivery in March. Model Y was clearly supply constraine

It is a tough environment for selling $70k+ trucks and SUVs like that. As nice as they are, vehicles like the EV9 and Lightning aren't much worse and are much cheaper.

Tesla has been vehemently opposed virtually since their founding. Only the hats of the opposition changed.

It is because most of this was expected, even without turmoil. Model Y transitioned from the previous design to an updated design, leading to factory downtimes and a near complete sellout for this quarter. That one model represents ~2/

Is this how we ended up with an entire generation of business managers being taught that competing on price is bad?

I'd guess that it wouldn't be a huge effort to fine tune them to produce bounding boxes. I haven't done it with OCR tasks, but I have fine tuned other models to produce them instead of merely producing descriptive text. I&#x2

When I had solar, ~10 years ago, it was similar. We had net metering, no batteries, and zero backup if the grid went down. This was in an area where that rarely happened anyway, so I didn't really care. It'd be easy to add batteri

Sure, but it does get a lot simpler if you start from modules instead of cells. Nothing will get around the requirement to have electrical knowledge. Cost is always an issue. These rarely make sense from a pure $$ sense, as everything in el

From what I've heard, it is more economical to recycle the raw materials than to reuse small packs. Reuse of vehicle sized packs seems to be pretty common, though. I'd guess that a DIY home backup could be built pretty easily from

A Kleptocracy is when the government takes its own buildings from one department and transfers them to another department?

I think that it is really hard to be cheaper in the ways that really matter. Performance per watt matters a lot here, and NVidia is excellent at this. It doesn't seem like anyone else will be able to compete within at least the next co

I used to hear the same kind of rhetoric from Republicans a lot. They are destroying this or that or the other. "Oh, what specific things? What executive order?" - Usually nothing but handwaving. This letter presents itself in exa

So, the government funds them, the President issued an order to dismantle them, and now another government agency wants the building? That last part seems reasonable. Whether dismantling them is right or wrong seems to be the real question

Nearly the same thing as Google search can at this point, but maybe a better job of it. It isn't people's default choice at this point, but I'm having a hard time imagining people not trending toward it (or a competitor) over

I can understand that angle, but TBH, I have a hard time caring. They aren't a public company, and their private shareholders aren't lacking for resources to fight if they disagreed with this choice.

There's a lot of negativity here, but tbh, it makes complete sense. Grok and X are really tightly integrated already, and it was strange that they were separate enterprises to begin with. That part was odd. Fixing it isn't odd.

I've heard this a few times with Claude. I have no way to know for sure, but I'm guessing the problem is as simple as their reward model. Likely they trained it on generating code with tests and provided rewards when those tests p

Meh, I go to three types of video meetings. The ones where the speakers have their cameras off, the ones where noone watches the screen, and the ones where its a screenshare. You are right, though. If all your meetings are about persuasion,

IDK, to me text has higher information density and throughput than a video meeting. Ever listened to a swagger file?
