They claim to have rolled out 4000 fast chargers so far. Although it also says the car that supports the max charging speed hasn’t hit the market yet so seems yet to be proven in the wild.

Neither article really explains how they are able to charge this fast, aside from “vertical integration” and slightly increased energy density in the battery design. No real details on the charging technology itself.

This is mentioned in the article: > But the airplane never became popular—although it became briefly famous when a heavily made-up example starred in 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

The colors are difficult for colorblind people. Orange/green is difficult already, and then green turns into red depending on the state? Ugh. Looks fun but unplayable for me.

That's not the impression I hear from my many intentionally childless friends. They take the negative behavior - the screaming, tantrums, chaos - as the norm. It sounds like you always wanted kids. I don't say this to criticize

This was the lesson from the Fyre Festival debacle. Most of his inside partners and enablers knew he wasn’t likely to succeed. They just saw an opportunity to benefits themselves and made sure their own risk was limited. In return, he got t

80 Days is a really wonderful literary game that captures the joy and adventure of travel (quite a nice escape during the pandemic). There's tons of replayability with different routes and subplots to discover.

Agree with the fashion. Big clunky headphones can be part of a signature style. No doubt anime and video game characters have had an influence here. They also project a clear message of “don’t bother me” when worn in public.

> gws doesn't ship a static list of commands. Clever, but frustrating that they don’t bother to provide any docs on the actual commands this supports.

That’s the first thing I thought as well, although GAM is for admin tools only. I think this is for user APIs? But it’s not really clear…

I think an important parts of this is that "talking to someone" doesn't have to mean a long drawn-out conversation. Even just a few words back and forth is meaningful.

I honestly think u-turns should be illegal is most situations. They are highly unpredictable and block multiple lanes of traffic for the benefit of a single vehicle. It’s especially unnecessary for a GPS-guided vehicle that should easily be

You're right, maybe I'm being a little mean to a personal blog post. It's just something I see all the time in other contexts as well. And we'll probably see it more and more with vibe coding.

> You really can't !@#$ up a pie I agree. When it comes to baking, making it tasty is mostly a matter of including the correct ingredients. Nailing the texture is the hard part, and that’s where technique and practice comes in.

It’s a fun article and interesting to muse over but I’m always skeptical of these kind of drive-by data analyses actually mean much. 1. Take a bunch of easily available data (which hasn’t been validated for completeness, accuracy, bias, etc
