Hyundai and Honda (especially Honda) have brought back more physical buttons in the past several years. The CRV especially has a great button/control layout. A big reason we went with the Ioniq 5 is due to the physical controls.

Our local Subaru dealership has an option to use an AI assistant when you call to set up an appointment. I tried it, it worked perfectly, better than a human, honestly. Likewise our local Taco Bell is uses AI ordering and it works great as

US automotive companies are backing away from EVs because they would have a huge impact on the automotive adjacent industries. They are more reliable and have little to no maintenance, whereas ICE cars prop up multiple billion+ dollar indus

"100% AI-generated code soon" doesn't mean no humans, just that the code itself is generated by AI. Generating code is a relatively small part of software engineering. And if AI can do the whole job, then white collar work wi

I swear some people are using some other tech than I'm using the past few months. Where I work, Claude Code is developing major changes to our very large code base (many repos, millions upon millions of lines of really important code)

I didn't prompt anything odd, just standard prompt "etiquette", actually I significantly prompted less than I would usually do, trying to do a simple prompt like you did.

I think it is likely that they realize that LLM models will be able to be developed by many companies, and I see most early, heavy adopters of LLMs doing the math on giving OpenAI/Anthropic token fees versus just having in-house models

But the total market size (in number of products) also multiplied. For instance, as a relatively tiny example, I create a nutrition tracker. There's hundreds already out there, but they never met my specific desire for one. So I create

AI allows innovative people to create more innovations by reducing a lot of the non-innovative grunt work in an efficient manner. It isn't the AI doing the innovation, but allows innovators to focus more on innovating. Or at least that

I'm already, seriously, looking forward to the post-mortem. It kind of sucks when things break, but it is also really interesting to hear the gritty details. Hopefully they don't disappoint? Odds that is AI related?

Musk wants to put up 500-1000 TW per year. Even 1 TW would be 4.348 million of your systems. Even one of your clusters is at the edge of what we've built, and you talk about snapping 4000 of them together as if they were legos. To run

It would be interesting to see the same graph broken down by wealth (preferably) or income quintile. Maybe higher tax rates don't mean more tax income, but it does mean more wealth redistribution.

I emphasize, somewhat, with them for some complaints. The thing I love about our EV is the greatly reduced maintenance. No oil changes, no transmission fluid changes, greatly less parts means less that can fail, etc. That's awesome, bu
