What’s the problem with that? Reproducing copyrighted works in full is problematic obviously. But if I learned English by watching American movies, I didn’t steal the language from the movie studios, I learned it.

Currently I believe so, although they likely wouldn’t qualify for the $7500 EV tax credit due to the origin of the batteries. Lawmakers have talked about this scenario with concern, to the extent that I’ve heard BYD is reluctant to actually

Can’t help but read that and think of Tesla’s Autopilot and “Full Self Driving”. For some comparisons they claim to be safer per mile than human drivers … just don’t think too much about the error modes where the occasional stationary objec

I think that’ll define the industry for the coming decades. I used to work in machine translation and it was the same. The older rules-based engines that were carefully crafted by humans worked well on the test suite and if a new case was f

Interesting that some relatively recent changes of preferred names like Czech Republic->Czechia and Macedonia->North Macedonia are on there but not Turkey->Türkiye and East Timor->Timor-Leste.

Italy seems to be right there too. Just saw they deemed a car model name illegal because it sounds Italian but isn’t made in Italy: https://www.thedrive.com/news/italy-tells-alfa-romeo-its-ill...

That’s because BMW (and their dealers) want to sell every car twice. Once new and then again in a few years as a certified pre-owned car that has retained quite a bit of value. Makes them more money than just selling new cars.

And GM has Cadillac. It’s one thing for some features to debut on the luxury line and trickle down to the mainstream. It’s another to be like “here’s our new $40k mainstream electric SUV” and then only sell the $60k version for an entire mo

Didn’t end up going to work for the friend, but the situation still strained the friendship. An engineer I worked with for several years (and became friends with outside of work) started his own company, a couple of years later he recruited

Yeah, probably something like “we'll make the shiniest Vision Pro app on launch day if you knock a few percentage points off the in-app purchases/subscription fee across our apps”.

Gerald’s Game perhaps? I mean it’s not a sexy sex scene but it really informs us about a character. Of course many sex scenes are unnecessary, just there to titillate.

> especially considering how we can't import cars from China. Are you referring to the US tax credit rules around battery origins or vehicle import tariffs? Because there certainly isn’t an actual ban on Chinese-made cars in the US.

Well it’s also because the US government set up rules that end up encouraging crossovers over lower cars: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/car-design/a3349059...

Individual parents aren’t generally in a position to open a daycare and make a meaningful difference in the supply of childcare. Employers may be able to do so.

It’s like people buying Teslas. Sure, it’s a company run by a mercurial edgelord billionaire who doesn’t believe in quality assurance or decent post-sale service, but hey, it’s a well-priced (depending on your jurisdiction maybe) car built

Ideally we’d follow in Norways’s footsteps and mandate that new charging stations accept credit cards but that’s probably a lost hope with electric cars being a culture war issue in the US these days.

I was thinking a Stephen King horror story about a serial killer terrorizing his quaint Alpine hometown because he prefers younger, fresher cheese. Either way, it does indeed seem an odd-yet-poetic practice.

Or we still haven’t, depending on how you decide which is the biggest airport. BWI had slightly more passengers than Dulles last year; Dulles had slightly more flights than BWI.

“Tesla Roadster is now open source” does not appear to be the title of that page. I also couldn’t find any open source licenses or info about how to make a Tesla Roadster.
