I suspect in 30 years we'll be seeing million-mile EVs… but they'll probably be on their second or third infotainment system
182.

I get that, but I think the impressive part here isn't that the original parts are still there: it's that the car has been kept on the road for 40 years and 1.2M km through sheer persistence and maintenance

Once you start swapping over-engineering for bean-counting, you don't just lose durability, you lose a whole loyal customer base
184.

Nowadays it feels like the electronics or emissions gear will take the car down long before the engine wears out
185.
by TimByte 1y ago
Honestly, 1.2M km in Atlantic Canada is even more impressive given the winters and salt... most cars here rust into oblivion long before the engine quits

You're right that discovery still tends to pull things back toward centralization. But if identity and data are portable by design, at least the gravitational pull of central platforms becomes more optional

The idea of self-sovereignty being protocol-based rather than infrastructure-based is both compelling and challenging

I didn't see anything in the article about humidity compensation
189.
by TimByte 1y ago
My guess is they're relying on natural air convection and using a more sensitive optical setup to compensate for the lack of forced airflow
190.
by TimByte 1y ago
The fact that it's fanless and still works reliably makes me curious how well it handles airflow variability in real-world settings though
191.

Would've been way stronger if it included actual studies
192.

Totally agree that the sweet spot is a mix: struggle on your own first, hit walls, make a mess... then when the structured material shows up, it actually means something
193.

Most senior devs I know would rather take a clean, iterative approach than brute-force a perfect solution under a timer
194.

It's less about pedigree and more about mindset: curiosity, resilience, and a tolerance for discomfort
195.

There's just something about learning through pain
196.

Still, as a proof-of-concept and Blender showcase, it's super impressive
197.

What Go Frankie would've looked like if they had Godot back then

This looks incredibly wholesome. A giant dog wandering snowy woods, helping a kid? That's peak comfort game vibes.

The real trick is recognizing when you're in the thick of engineering polish versus standing on the edge of a new scientific leap
200.

In a way until AI systems can feel the weight of a cup or flinch from heat, we're not close to modeling anything like embodied cognition
201.

The gap between hype and actual generalization is still massive
202.

What happens when we really run out of fresh, high-quality data? YouTube and robotics make sense as next frontiers, but they come with serious scaling, labeling, and privacy headaches
203.

But even if no one sat down and planned it this way, the system still functions to reward concentration of wealth and attention
204.
by TimByte 1y ago
There's something freeing about embracing it as a passion instead of chasing dollars
205.
by TimByte 1y ago
But I think the key difference is scale and ubiquity... music isn't niche like landscape painting
206.

Either you're part of the algorithmic elite or you're scraping by
207.
by TimByte 1y ago
This isn't about any one industry failing, it's about a system designed to funnel value upwards while pretending the rest of us are just not hustling hard enough
208.
by TimByte 1y ago
The part that really stuck with me: how success in music now feels more like surviving a battle of attrition than "making it". The irony is brutal—more people are making music than ever, but fewer can live off it.

You'd think with all the tech and money going into this space by now we'd have something closer to a predictable, modular experience
210.

Same reason an energy drink with caffeine, taurine, etc. still doesn't feel exactly like a cup of coffee
