Other manufacturers have recalls too, for equally dangerous conditions, but only Tesla ever makes the news (I'm not defending Tesla, just proving a point). CT has been out for ~4 months, 4k units delivered, platform engineered from scr

> People will buy nice electric cars that aren't riddled with quality issues. Anecdata: my father bought a VW ID.4 1 year after I got my M3 (2019). The MY wasn't available yet. VW ID.4 has been at the garage 3-4 times/year

While I agree that Musk's personality is damaging Tesla a lot lately, and it lost a huge chunk of the accumulated goodwill, I still don't get how people manage their daily lives then. Shall we stop buying Nestle products? Luxottic

Yes, but you need to build a similar network of hydrogen pumps as we already have for gas, hydrogen requires more power and infrastructure to store, requires more energy to extract, cars need pressurized tanks, ............ Batteries are si

"We fucked up the air globally in <50y, lets fuck up the ocean faster to un-fuck the air issue temporarily". But seriously, we lack the understanding to do local geo-engineering, much less at global scale. Hard pass. Reducing C

I run kubernetes as... a standalone node. I run it on a dedicated server with two disks on btrfs RAID1, with a subvolume for each pod that needs it (hostPath). Not the minikube version, not the kubespray version: the kubeadm version, instal

Agree, it's not just direct cost of the material. I work in a small software shop (~10 people), and besides me there's only one other guy that could take up the task of running wires all over the office, the others are developers,

I'm not sure where this serious trouble is. - Model Y was the bestseller 2023 - they keep ramping up production and fabs - they are sitting on a pile of money - quality has been steadily and consistently improving - they have the SC ne

Some anecdata from daily cold booting my MacBook Pro 16' 2019: - Slack is very reactive, displays a spinner in <2s, takes a few seconds (<10s) to fully load and draw - perfectly acceptable - Outlook (new experience mode) is a bit

Been driving a M3 since 2019: at this point I feel most of the people complaining about Tesla UX have never really driven one for more than a rental day. Yes, everything is in the tablet, but it's super-responsive (even on the Atom CPU

In aviation autopilot nowadays can do much more than just "keeping the plane straight", it can also improve stability during maneuvers, or auto-land (mostly, ILS). But even aviation autopilot has limitations, which are well unders

If people are worse on average, on average they'll cause more accidents. They won't get a firmware update, but they'll get an IM while they're late, won't pull over to reply, and ran you over at full speed instead o

You pay to have traffic visualization , but traffic data is part of the trip planning, and the navigator does reroute you on a faster road if it's available (the delta is configurable).

Perhaps it's because I work in a small software shop and we do only B2B, but 99% of our applications consist of a frontend (JS served by an nginx image), a middleware (RoR, C#, Rust), nginx ingress and cert-manager. Sometimes we have P

Not having to constantly apply a ton of micro-corrections for keeping the speed, keeping the car centered, slowing down to cars in front, ... takes away a TON of mental fatigue, even if you're still supervising. Over time you learn the

You're welcome, no problem :) I honestly couldn't tell too much difference between my M3 1-pedal driving (stop mode: Stop) and my father's ID.4 (not sure if it was in B mode). I used to go with Creep mode (Stop mode was intro

Replying by point, as I've been driving my 2019 M3 for 4y now: - agree, rent it for a few days after the test drive, EVs have a different style of driving that might not suit you - pings in modern cars are everywhere, it's not jus

If your gums are regularly bleeding after each flossing round, either you're applying too much pressure with the floss (you don't need to cut your gums) or likely using a low quality floss. I have sensitive gums and a small mouth,

Agree with this, 100%. Have been using Kagi since the invite phase. The moment they opened up and switched to subscription, I immediately subscribed (you'll run out of the free quota in ~3-4h - 50 searches per month). Paying 10$/m

Funny - that's exactly how I perceive my M3: boring. And I love it (3y driving it). If you get the feeling it's hyped, stop believing the media (esp. about Elon) and rent it for a week, or a weekend's long trip. Most of the s
