What percentage of the car buying market buys enthusiast vehicles? The top of the charts is made up of cars like the RAV4, Model Y, and CR-V. These all represent versatile practical family transportation. Enthusiast vehicles are disappearin

I don’t disagree with you but it’s not relevant to the topic at hand, and it’s not a contributing factor to Aperture getting discontinued.

Factually inaccurate, the Wikipedia page for free solo climbing has an entire section on prominent free solo climber deaths. In my view this guy is pretty irresponsible especially for promoting a “sport” that is unnecessarily dangerous in t

I’m confused at how advertising is related to the subject at hand, since Apple does not offer a photo app with advertising.

I feel similarly to you. I really miss having a manual transmission car that has some more fun factor. I periodically have to stop and think about how annoying it might be in city driving with the constant stop and go. But someday I might b

I didn’t say EVs would be used for military vehicles. It’s more like a scenario where 80% are buying EVs and 20% are buying ICE. Again the hypothetical was modern EVs with modern infrastructure. And this hypothetical isn’t that crazy. Many

80% of Americans live in urban areas and that number is rising, so I think in this scenario where EVs came first we’d see maybe 20% of vehicle sales being ICE vehicles. But today we’ve got basically the opposite. I would disagree with the i

Something that needs to be pointed out, especially for those who want to push back against findings like this and essentially defend ICE vehicles: Really step back and imagine a world where the modern EV [1] was first to market and a gaso

Just when I was thinking about Tesla’s main failure being their pickup truck you remind me how they completely missed the obvious delivery van market for which EVs are ideal. And the semi is such vaporware that I forgot it was even a thing.

No, not superficial at all. I brought up serious concerns along with a little fun bashing your project as AI slop because it is AI slop. Your child wants to hear a story with grandma’s voice, then all of a sudden later they’ll be talking to

I think it may be as long as 180 days, but I haven’t found anything super specific from Apple. Remember that Apple’s typical customer is non-technical. Keeping files in case of a catastrophic deletion is safer for their customers. They want

Perhaps it would be better to rename it “slopli” since this is AI slop. I think I would be rather hesitant to use voice cloning to read to my kids before such things were studied by medical professionals. I would also be hesitant to use thi

So, where’s the payoff? Now you can’t be paid to do that task and you’ve made yourself unemployed or paid lower in the future. Meanwhile, mountains of additional energy is being comsumed to do that task, and a small handful of companies lik

I don’t think your newspaper analogy works very well here. Newspapers had willing subscribers especially since they had few alternatives. Their subscriber base was not niche at all. These newspapers were also heavily subsidized by not onl

HN and Reddit aren’t traditional forums because of the way downvotes and upvotes work. I would consider a forum to be defined by the most recent activity bringing the thread to the top of the list, not a popularity contest via upvote and do

Device management != micromanaging developer workflow. At my midsize company, our engineers could absolutely say something like “we don’t like Terraform Cloud, we want to switch to OpenTofu and env0” and our management would be okay with it

They basically made the case for podman existing, and I see podman gaining steam and being easier and easier to drop in as a replacement for Docker. If they never changed that licensing, nobody would have had an incentive to put big effort

I don’t think he regularly lashes out to people in emails, it’s happened a small handful of times in the span of decades. And the difference between him and your typical product manager is his email chains are public.

I find this concern a little odd because most people tend to do very little in their life to make a difference in ways that count way more than a couple kilograms of PLA filament. Let’s take 1kg of filament, which is enough for multiple pri

I wouldn’t call the A1 build plate small , more like average/typical sized. And in that sense it means that almost every design made by someone else you find will fit your machine. I rarely if ever find something on Printables or Make

Even getting an app on the Apple App Store requires a $100/year payment. You either grow users continuously or you ask for a subscription.

But it’s not a monoculture because they’re wildly different applications of the technology. It’s also not a culture at all because it’s a kernel.

That's definitely still where I see the appeal of PLA, and once I get through the too much bulk PETG that I own I may mix up my future purchases to have more PLA where I don't need load strength and won't have issues with h

I don't think the kids these days know that UNIX exists. UNIX is also basically irrelevant unless you are talking about macOS technically being UNIX, so I agree with the kids. The idea that Linux is a monoculture is also hilarious

Not the person you’re replying to, but I can see the appeal of PLA. It has more color options and prints way easier. I personally run all PETG because it is ultimately better material post-print, and once you understand how to print with it
