That depends on whether Gemini CLI counts. I've had generally bad experiences with it, but it is free for at least some usage.

YMMV, but I've had pretty good luck with just force closing it and launching again when getting errors like that. It doesn't necessarily mean the whole environment is corrupt, even…

You know what's weird? This is a company that has been using the fleet api for quite a while now to monitor non-professional drivers using FSD on their daily commute, often while d…

Sure, but we now have millions of miles of Tesla autopilot and FSD data in the hands of untrained and often semi-malicious end users as well. Out of that data, we've gotten flawed …

I've always assumed that the answer to this would be no. However, I also always assumed that a huge space-based internet system would be both expensive and impractical for bandwidt…

Yeah, I remember being amazed at the immediate incremental compilation on save in Visual Age for Java many years ago. Today's neovim users have features that even the most advanced…

TBH, the comments here amaze me. The claim is that a human being paid to monitor a driver assistance feature is 3x more likely to crash than a human alone. That needs extraordinary…

Good analysis. Just over a month ago, Electrek was posted here claiming that Teslas with humans were crashing 10x more than with humans alone. That was based on a sample size of 9 …

It is sad, but big sedans do not sell well and the X really needed to be replaced with something completely different. There are now several other 3 row EV SUVs competing with it, …

It was estimated at >200k/year, but in reality is well under 50k/year. I'd say that is a failure compared to their guidance.

They are almost exclusively focused on autonomous cars, humanoid robots, and energy (batteries now, maybe more solar manufacturing later). As much as I dislike it, I can't disagree…

S and X were a small fraction of Fremont already. The plant can do >500k units per year, but S/X were closer to 20k. It sounds like this would be giving ~5% of the factory space to…

A big part of it is insurance. Family coverage can easily cost $15-20k per year in the US. Avoiding the need to pay for this out of pocket drives a lot of people into less than opt…

I'd say it is a success at being useful, but yeah it does seem like the code itself has been a bit of a mess. I've used a version that had a bd stats and a bd status that both had …

Is this shocking? Obviously including PHEVs helps a bit, but even outside of this it is exactly what should be happening. Their biggest sellers are SUVs, and at these price points,…

I put it in a VM and had it build a really simple todo app for me the other day. It wasted so many tokens that I can't help but agree with you right now. And I could certainly have…

To be fair, he's always been a little loopy. At least, I think this post of his was loopy: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/that-old-marshmallo... It was also one of my fav…

+1 - I think this really needs to be emphasized more. Just like any relevant skills, soft skills are useful. It is great to build strength here. It is never a sign of health when t…

Cheap crossovers and compact SUVs tend to be >8s. In practice even that makes them sound faster than they are, as they require an aggressive launch and consistent high RPMs to get …

Yes, pretty much. The torque curve also slopes down as rpm increases, so an EV with really weak low end torque will feel really bad on the highway. Having said that, there are some…

Plenty of people that can afford them and that would likely benefit are not buying them because of preference. In many cases, this is rational. Yeah, a used Model 3 with a great ra…

Claude Code vehemently agrees.

EVs and cold climates are a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, if you want to road trip with snowy 30 mph headwinds, the charging times will be meaningfully worse. Not impossible…

I don't think it will change anything for Tesla, unless it lowers their costs through lowered tariffs somehow. TBH, Tesla is in a tough position with their EVs in NA. They can't re…
