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 though that is the recovery option that is presen

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 distracted doing other things. The latest versions even

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 reports from Tesla claiming that it is dramatically saf

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 bandwidth and latency. Starlink has largely defied those expect

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 IDEs didn't have back then. I think a lot of peop

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 evidence. Instead the evidence is misleading guesses.

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 crashes. In the month following that, they've added one

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, and even low volume ones (eg, R1S) outsell it easily. Don&#x

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 with the business case here. They already have >300

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 Optimus production, which seems reasonable.

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 optimal job dependence.

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 almost the same content in slightly different form

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, the EVs can be substantially than their ICE counterparts. F

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 done the same thing with beads and opus in approximate

+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 they become the main thing.

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 there. The 6-7s EVs feel much faster than that!
20.
by _ea1k 8mo ago
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 that are fairly mediocre without being completely terrible.

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 rate plan is probably worth it as a commuter, but what if you

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, but definitely noticeable. On the other hand, the traction

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 really build a cheap enough crossover/suv to co

I'd expect that kind of thing to be the primary use case, tbh. Maybe even running whisper models? If it could run whisper, it'd be a solid addition to a pi based home assistant setup.

Exactly, price is a huge problem. IIRC, the average selling price of F-150 is ~50k. The extended range Lightning tended to be $60k and up. Sure, it had AWD, but lots of people didn't need that. The Cybertruck is even more expensive. Bo

I wonder who gets to decide when something is "associated" with something else in a way that makes any and all uses of that thing a cancelable offense. This mechanism sounds more dangerous than useful.

I thought this way for a while. I still do to a certain degree, but I'm starting to see the wisdom in hurrying off into the change. The most advanced tooling today looks nothing like the tooling for writing software 3 years ago. We&#x2

TBH, if everyone involved is invested in what is being said, you don't need to be in person and you don't need to shut laptops. If that is the majority of your meetings, you are in a good place. The mistake is to think the rules a
