Can you share details? Or feel free to email me directly, nathan at autotempest. I'd like to learn more about your device, browser, and search criteria so we can try and reproduce what you described.

Many of those things are true in general, but fwiw I think we've done a decent job making the site fast and usable on mobile. It's comparable to the app in most ways, but many still prefer that.

At AutoTempest we resisted making an app for years, because anything that a hypothetical app could do, we could do with the website. And in my opinion, when searching for cars, it's more convenient to be in your browser where you can e

Agreed. Using solar to power vehicles is great, but there's little benefit in the panels being on the vehicle. Put panels on your house, charge your EV, and you've got a solar powered vehicle (and house).

There's already Rybelsus. It's a bit more of a pain though as it needs to be taken on an empty stomach and you then need to wait 30-60 minutes before eating.

Those might've been some of the treadmill runs. Also looks like they were all one-milers.

You might add ICE cars to that list. All kinds of cool stuff being developed around small turbocharged engines and other efficiency gains, excellent transmissions, etc.

To me it seems like you're looking at this from a very narrow technical perspective rather than a human- and business-oriented one. In this case ChatGPT is effectively providing them free marketing for a feature that does not yet exist

The prompt is what's sent to the AI, not the response from it. Still does read like dystopian sci-fi though.

To be fair, he didn't specify that the reviews were false. Maybe he only agreed because he legitimately likes the vacuums. I think if someone offered me a product I like for free in return for a review, I'd do it. I wouldn't

I'm not sure it is arbitrary, just different from what it was a hundred or a thousand years ago. There's no real survival differentiation in modern society, and while classically beneficial traits like physical fitness and intelli

This is fascinating, and makes me wonder if human intelligence itself is such a cliff edge trait. For most of human history our advanced intelligence has obviously been a benefit, but now we see, as people and societies become wealthier and

I'm not at all surprised that if someone has a psychotic break while using chatgpt, they would become fixated on the bot. My question is, is the rate of such episodes in chatgpt users higher than in non-users? Given hundreds of million

From what I've seen, the AA batteries with built-in USB-C charging port are generally lithium-ion. I think they tend to include the port because they can't be charged in standard NiMH chargers. Also, because Li-ion cells are >

Very different situation; the norm against use hadn't been established at that point, and it was in the midst of a world war.

Ok, I see the logic, but nuclear weapon use is the brightest red line in the world. If there's anything a government wouldn't be forgiven for, it's that. I can't imagine how the calculus for the US would work out in favo

When you say "the coast", do you mean travelling south down the Pacific coast after crossing the Bering land bridge? Edit: ah, the earlier discussion covers this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44319585

This makes a lot of sense to me. When you ride in an Uber or a taxi, you're a guest in the driver's space. In a Waymo, it's your own space. You can play music, talk on the phone, etc. without worrying about disturbing the dri

I do something like this, but use notes in Evernote. Making them physical objects wouldn't add anything for me personally. (My wife loves writing down and crossing out to-dos on paper though. To each their own.)

Even if you're right, it's only true in the short term. Long term, everyone benefits from a sustainable country, and trillions of new debt isn't heading in that direction.

One thing I'll say for the current era is that it has made a lot of such fiction appear more realistic in hindsight. Another example is the Silo book series, recently adapted to a series on Apple TV. I remember reading those books thin
