That’s not apple to apple comparison. Try other vehicle manufacturers and see where your numbers end up. Ramping up a multi thousand part product with hundreds of suppliers is a whole different ball game than scaling an online website.

Even if a religion, sure as heck the best out there, by a large margin: 1. Got the best miracles (two building sized Falcon 9 boosters landing side by side after an orbital launch). 2. Promises exciting future, full of explosions, adventure

I'm no financial guru, even enthusiast, but my impression is that your average investor is interested in very short term profit. If you listened to last Telsa's shareholder meeting, one of the top questions was whether Tesla was g

Bezos is a household joke even in Elon's household. Elon is a nightmare in Bezos'es. That's where the difference is.

As for the RAM limitation, zswap is a great way to get some more RAM at cost of some CPU cycles which on the new Pi won't be an issue.

Hmm — there is a project that allows you to compile a single binary that is cross platform across Linux, Mac and Windows. Wondering if ripgrep can be compiled in such a way and that would make it very close to the portability you have with

YMMV quite a bit depending on OS, usage, etc. I have a 6 yr old Thinkpad (which btw was gonna replace with a framework and didn’t). It’s plugged in 99% of time, so battery health is not a problem. I think it lasts 2 hours now. I’ve nodded t

Keep in mind that Skydio currently manufactures and sells affordable drones ($1000 USD) that can fly autonomously through pretty much any environment, including forests. Disclaimer: I don't work for them nor affiliated - just been fol

Damn it — fell for this again. All that matters is whether you are more likely to get into an accident/get injured in a Tesla vs other cars in the same price bracket. That's it! All these slice and dice reporting is of little valu

Has journalism been this lousy forever or is it just recently? Quoting numbers of complaints per manufacturer is meaningless. How many cars with the given feature turned on exist from each manufacturer? How many miles driven with the given

This is pretty much the same problem as Email spam. There needs to be a service/collaborative project to filter these, instead of each app hacking up an ad-hoc way of doing it.

Re error propagation: look at standard library’s JSON encoding source code. They use panic internally to bubble up errors from recursive calls and have a recover at the API boundary which turns it into an error value. I thought it was a nea

Not sure where I read this but Tesla seems to rely a lot more on software than specialized chips so they can swap them out for another one that's available, with lot less effort than other manufacturers.

You are literally confirming what my grandparent post said: Where do you hear about all the time Teslas saved lives? You don't, because even throwing evidence in people's face, they only list the fuck-ups. I rest my case.

You seem to be hung up on SAE definitions and missing my point which I'm going re-iterate, maybe from a different angle. Moving from supervising the car to not supervising the car isn't a binary flip where suddenly in one software
