Until the past couple launches it was the ship that had the issues. Had to be blown up a couple times, failed to relight in vacuum, lost an engine and nearly failed to get to the suborbital trajectory last time. Meanwhile the booster had the most spectacular success in the catch, and has yet to result in a catastrophic failure.

Ha, mine's not an EV so I haven't hit that, but it absolutely tracks. Every part of the app feels like something that was built by a consultancy to fulfill a set of Jira tickets by people who have never and will never actually drive one of the cars.

I also have the same combo of makes, and it's totally wild that people think the two are comparable technologically. The Kia is like owning a locked-down carrier dumbphone from 2007 and the Tesla is like owning an iPhone. Still a walled garden, not exactly an unlocked Android, but at least one that works and is built by developers who care.

It’s in the developer beta, people are posting videos of it, e.g.: https://x.com/iupdate/status/2064078761856037112?s=46

Do you happen to know, is that because it can’t recite Harry Potter, or because it’s been instructed not to recite Harry Potter?

He can take out a full page Wall Street Journal ad tomorrow that says “I created hyperloop to kill CA HSR” and it will have no effect on the fact that CA HSR’s failure is 100% the fault of CA’s own dysfunction.

This is the funniest conspiracy theory.

Not "currently," "used to": https://www.theverge.com/transportation/860935/mercedes-driv...

It was way too limited to be useful to anyone.

Because for all the incessant whining about "slop," multimodal AI i/o is incredibly useful. Being able to take a photo of a home repair issue, have it diagnosed, and return a diagram showing you what to do with it is great, and it's the same algos that power the slop. "Sorry, you'll have to go to Gemini for that use case, people got mad about memes on the internet" is not really a good way for them to be a mass consumer company.

> My mother grew up in the Soviet Bloc

Ah yes, famous racial utopias, all of them.

I think the eye contact in question was a prelude to the two of them kind of following each other around and a minor verbal altercation, so the later context shows that it was probably kind of suspicious eye contact, rather than a friendly "what's up?"

> Browsing history? Search history?

They want to show you things you have recently watched or looked at when you log in, rather than just random TV shows.

> Age?

You can give your kids an age-restricted account so what they watch is limited.

> Both groups are large markets that will have companies cater to them.

More likely, one group is a large market that companies will cater to and the other group is a small market that will be very loud about their displeasure on the internet.

The problem here is just that upthread Muromec said “it’s that I want to gatekeep” when surely they meant “don’t,” and now there’s a whole chain of misunderstanding.

> as a car passenger

No, the 2024 number is goosed by paying a big back tax bill after a court decision in the EU.

It’s hard to think of anything less monopolized than cloud hosting. There are hundreds of providers.

> These layoffs occur at such scale that it's unreasonable to assume any individual employee being "let go" has even been evaluated as an individual.

There’s no reason to think that you need to evaluate individuals to have a reason to let them go. I might be the best iOS developer in the world but if I’m working for a company that doesn’t need a custom iOS app, they should lay me off.

A decade ago there used to be a site called rubydrama.org because of how frequently the community blew up at itself.

Are you sure that every restriction that’s in the model is also spelled out in the contract? If they add new ones, do they update the contract?

The sentences that follow “found utility” say what that utility is:

> For example, Bridge (a stablecoin orchestration platform that Stripe acquired) is used by SpaceX for managing money in long-tail markets. Another big customer, DolarApp, is providing banking services to customers in Latin America.

"Long tail markets" here means small countries with currencies you don't have any particular interest in holding. Starlink sells access in Benin and South Sudan, for example, that's the long tail.

Once you buy the stablecoins, moving the money anywhere is an API call and a sub-1¢ transaction fee, rather than a cross-border wire transfer and a multi-day settlement process.

> A regular log or ledger file could accomplish the same thing as a blockchain

It is kind of wild how a bunch of people hyping blockchains five years ago has resulted in a thermostatic reaction where a bunch of other people have decided that distributed computing is easy, actually, you just need a ledger file.

> Surely a large and legitimate operation like Stripe and the companies they mention in the blog post would have found additional use cases?

You are literally in a thread whose top post is the Stripe founder describing use cases.

Yes, they're bigger than the current Falcon 9 rockets can launch and can handle more bandwidth.

> Considering Neuralink's historical record

What historical record? This article is about their first human participant.

> Congress gave the President power over tariffs

a) It didn't.

b) It's not the case constitutionally that Congress can give away its powers unilaterally. Chevron deference is dead, for example.

> Some games (founding companies) are non-zero sum. Some (like employing Americans vs non-Americans) are zero sum.

Not even wrong

> Business is representing an ever increasing % of travellers

Is it? I thought that trend reversed in 2020.
