I think speed is actually going to be a bigger factor than cost. Even projects where “money is no object” often hit a wall with LLM response times. Sure you can speed things up with parallel work under subagents, but as with parallelizing t

I’m not sure an “objectively great” feature exists, because “great” is such a vague and subjective term. I think it’s more productive to discuss it in terms of the use cases and who they benefit.

I get it, he’s trying to do everything in software (with the existing cameras), since software is “cheap” and can do anything in theory. Unfortunately they keep showing how they’re in over their head with some of these features (like FSD).

They’ve actually had 48V systems in production cars for several years now. Tesla is late to the game on that one. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/48-volt_electrical_system

Just like “this is the year of the Linux Desktop”? I’d love to have an open non-profit alternative to Google’s productivity suite, but realistically it’s very hard to host those things outside a traditional for profit business. Building the

Part of my point is the goal with such a system is usually to require less infra work/knowledge from your devs, but it backfires if you don’t invest enough in your abstraction. The implicit goal of these abstractions is really to centr

It seems like they’ve gotten to the “holy grail” of deployment where developers don’t have to worry about infrastructure at all in theory. I’ve seen many teams go for simple/leaky abstractions on top Kubernetes to provide a similar sol

I think you’re confusing Progressive Web App (PWA) with Progressive Enhancement. PWA is basically a web app (typically an SPA) that behaves like a native app, as described in the MDN page they reference. Loading progressively such that the

It’s weird to complain about supporting AEG claiming they’re somehow the 2nd “monopoly” after LiveNation. You can only have one “monopoly” in a given industry, otherwise they’re both just close competitors. Having a close second competitor

It sounds like this builds on top of Ethernet to provide a higher performance alternative to UDP/TCP, with some sort of hardware acceleration. I may be in over my head since I’m not an HPC/datacenter expert, but not sure I underst

It sounds like they’re trying to emulate Disney/Universal to some extent. I can imagine them having themed restaurants, gift shops, etc. similar to what you see in theme parks.

Technically that’s always been the case. It’s just that now you can tell the computer what to do in a “natural language” like English instead of a “programming language”.

It is true that this is somewhat influenced by how Heroku works, but ConfigMaps and GitOps do not meet the same security and usability requirements as Heroku config/env vars. If you want secure config storage on Kubernetes, you end up

I wonder why there hasn’t been more effort behind replacing single use plastics for food/beverages. People get all up in arms about plastic straws, but then stick their paper straw in a big plastic single-use cup. I also find it sad t

Seems ironic that you’d use rust to “build fast”. My impression is that Rust is more about building things safe/correct and efficient, with developer productivity being lower relative to other modern languages. That said, the “infrastr

Anecdotally, I’ve noticed most cafes in NYC with more than a handful of seats have a bathroom (even if they hide it) and WiFi. Outlets are pretty much everywhere, it’s more a matter of whether you can get a seat next to one.

To be fair, public transport often has similar issues. If a subway/train car is stuck, nothing else can get by on the same track and thousands of people could be delayed. It happens in NYC all the time. At least with the road system th

As a user this seems like a nice way of connecting with people online. As an engineer I wonder if/how you would open this up to a wider audience (behind “lonely” users). Moderation is the first issue that comes to mind, but I’m guessin

Having recently shopped for an EV, I did find that there are a lot more options in the US if you’re looking for larger vehicles. It’s a shame because many smaller models exist abroad, they just don’t want to bring them here (e.g. the VW ID.

The delay in updates is what originally pushed me to move from Android to iOS a while back, and years later it’s still an issue. You would think at least Nexus/Pixel would get updates quickly, but that still isn’t always the case. It s
