BYD sure, but I have serious long-term doubts about teslas ability to capture any significant market share. They’ve dropped to their lowest level in the US since ~2017 and frankly …

The overwhelming majority of local businesses around me don't have websites, just a FB page. If you want to look at upcoming events, specials, restaurant menus, etc. you either hav…

You think making the biggest breakthrough in battery tech is easier than monetary incentives?

>The native integration knows about car's battery state all the time and auto-suggests stops. CarPlay does this on my F150 Lightning. It manages state, preconditioning when routing…

We bought an F150 Lightning instead of a Sierra EV mainly because of this. I'm not interested in 'cars as a service'.

Deleted mine months ago. Altman is one of the slimiest tech ceos out there, which is saying something.

Yes. I see it hallucinate method names for 3rd party libraries constantly. It’s useful, but when users here say they’re vibe coding 98% of their work, I have to think they’re not w…

Conversely, I have yet to see agentic coding tools produce anything I’d be willing to ship.

If I had to bet; they'll put their 3.7L V6 in and run it on the miller cycle with a fixed drive to hit @130+kW or so. The changes for cooling, etc. will be substantial, but the pro…

Also bought a Lightning. I use it for plenty of truck related things that don't involve towing and it's great. I like to target shoot on family farm land, and it's awesome to toss …

That’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

Sounds like an argument for better hiring practices and planning. Producing a lot of code isn’t proof of anything.

I wholeheartedly agree. Shitty companies steal art and then put out shitty products that shitty people use to spam us with slop. The same goes for code as well. I’ve explored Claud…

Or the Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, iPad, etc. They’ve made plenty of things. I liken them to the Lexus of consumer electronics; expensive for what they are, thoughtfully designe…

Why not both? And that's a good point, there are a LOT of incentives to make things arbitrarily complex in a variety of fields.

Not the original commenter, but I 100% agree that it's weird we have so many ways to describe dictionaries/hash tables/maps/etc. and lists.

Yeah, I don't want to be uncharitable, but I've noticed that a lot of stem fields make heavy use of esoteric language and syntax, and I suspect they do so as a means of gatekeeping…

I'd argue that placing faith in any large institution is folly. Especially when that institution has a bunch of perverse incentives to act immorally. Any nation with any amount of …

I think we'll see a lot of companies moving away from public cloud providers in the future, but I don't think it'll be because of any privacy-related concerns. It rarely makes econ…

I have scarcely gotten decent code. The best a model has spat out is 'fine', which is ok for menial tasks. I have yet to see anyone show me an AI generated project that I'd be will…

I don't understand how one would come to the conclusion that this is new behavior from Apple. The first MacBook Airs were wildly impractical and expensive. The first iPad suffered …

This is what a lot of business leaders miss. The benefits you might gain from LLMs is that you are able to discern good output from bad. Once that's lost, the output of these tools…

Yeah I think this will be a noticeable trend moving forward. We've frozen backfills in our offshore subsidiaries for the same reason; the quality is nonexistent and onshore resourc…

Enterprises are increasingly looking at incorporating targeted local models into their systems vs paying for metered LLMs, I imagine this is what the commenter above is referring t…

Is your implication that MSFT will bundle the tool in their windows dist? I wonder how that will work with the networking reqs the DoD has. Probably some direct link to a gov VPC I…
