neogodless··on If coding has been solved, why does software keep getting worse?
> those bugs affect your ability to focus on driving

Name and shame! I'm in the market for a car. Which one should I avoid?

In 25 years of hosting a dozen domain names on a server on my home connection, this problem has not surfaced for me.

neogodless··on TP-Link Kasa cameras leaked home GPS via unauthenticated UDP for 6 years
TP-Link in particular because you can throw in an SD card and pay no subscription cost for many of their cameras, while a lot of other brands require monthly commitments to use most of the features.
neogodless··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Anecdotally, the OnePlus 7 Pro had decent but super fun cameras. Some color issues.

My OnePlus Pro 9 felt like a good step up in photo quality.

And my OnePlus 12 takes awesome photos I'm very happy with. I didn't experience the same "downhill" as you.

neogodless··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Hmm my OnePlus 12 is 26 months old and battery is still phenomenal. I charge it to 80% and easily get a day of use, plugging in each night at 30-40%. I have not experienced it running hot yet.

I did not have battery issues with my OnePlus 7 Pro or OnePlus 9 Pro either. The 7 Pro gave me 3 days of battery! (I upgraded for camera improvements and faster screen refresh rate.)

And these were issues you had with the phone on day one?

Did I miss something, or did you not list any reasons why you do not like the phone? They have a lot of good will from customers because they like their phones...

(great screens, high refresh rate, great photos with a much lighter touch of automatic processing compared to Samsung, awesome physical switch, excellent battery life, fast charging.)

How well does Pandora work for music?
neogodless··on CarPlay Is Additive
My Polestar didn't have Android Auto when I bought it.

Navigation was still Google Maps, and text integration was there.

But no Pandora for music. And that's the problem, in my opinion. Even Android Automotive is way behind Android Auto in app support. That reduces the owner's choices for which software they want to use for their use cases.

GM 100% dropped it in their EVs and announced moving away from it.

neogodless··on CarPlay Is Additive
Which cars specifically?

I haven't seen a broad range, but Mazda seems very fast and reliable.

Chevrolet (prior to recent models that drop it) and Honda do it well.

neogodless··on Show HN: Pieces – Social network for people
> I guarantee you that in the next five years there's going to be a huge exodus out of the incumbent networks

Are you willing to change your mind on this?

What evidence do you have this will happen?

It does seem that social networks can have some generational stickiness. Wrestling my family away from Facebook feels like a lost cause. But younger relatives are more active on Instagram and some other options.

But I don't see what would trigger an exodus given that everything you and I might not like about the existing social media incumbents hasn't been enough to drive people away en masse so far.

neogodless··on Immich 3.0
Yup. I love Immich, but I'm also a control freak, so my 25 years of digital photos I had before using Immich still exist in an External Library. It mostly works but I still have some issues. Like I keep getting a batch of ~70 photos that lose their "date taken" and revert to the date/time I started using Immich. (Fortunately the file names are date/times and I can manually go through and fix them, but having done it at least three times, it's getting old!)

I "restarted" maybe twice when I first got into Immich to find a good set up for playing reasonably nicely with external libraries, but it does need just a bit more polish. Good to see a sibling comment that it's on their list of priorities!

Hackers

The coolest thing I've done with Immich is just set up Docker on a more powerful machine, run the machine learning libraries, and point my instance (on a low powered server) to use that external computing for face recognition and OCR. Very cool!

> that’s not the way we see ourselves interacting with our users

You lost me right there Rivian. Start picturing yourselves worrying more about how your users picture themselves interacting with THEIR car... and stop worrying about controlling interactions between you and your users. Switch your frame of thinking around.

neogodless··on Mag 7 starting to underperform [pdf]
You're half right.

The market sets prices, and they are set based on multiple things. One of those is fundamentals. Consider the value of assets, whether tangible or intellectual property, human resources, binding contracts, etc. that add up to reasonable revenue forecasts and so forth.

And the other aspect of prices is based on conjecture, speculation, meme-joiners, believing hype, and in some cases, fraud.

The secret sauce is always going to be the one who can figure out, between the two factors going into price, what's right, and when.

BUT... just saying that all stock market pricing is based on unreliable factors? That's not a useful, actionable statement. You can certainly stay out of investing in that market, but is that going to be your best course of action?

neogodless··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
My Polestar has the word "Volvo" on several parts. They share a software stack and get the same updates.
neogodless··on Slate EV truck starts at $24,950
That's my personal... to get the 260 mile advertised range on 75 kWh battery, it would have to average 3.47 mi / kWh. I sometimes get over 4... but I also often get under 3 (especially in winter, when 2.5 is common.) Highway at those speeds in the summer (with AC) is ~3 or so which gives you ~225 effective road trip range between fill-ups.

I own a Polestar 2 with an effective 75 kWh battery and an average efficiency of 3.3 mi / kWh. So 248 mile range if you charge to 100% and run it down to 0%.

Real world, 99.9% of driving I do is well under 100 miles per day, and my charging between 6pm and 8am on a 120V outlet adds 50-60 miles. You could plug in every night, but in practice I wait until the battery is below 40%, and tend to plug in every 1-2 weeks depending on how much I use it.

It's been driven over 200 miles in a single day twice, and each time the car was charged for 15-20 minutes at a fast charger to top up. shrug

For many people, in real world usage, 205 mile range is great for how you'll actually use the truck.

Suggests up to 25% loss if your just plugging into an outlet, but a wallbox improves that considerably.

neogodless··on Slate EV truck starts at $24,950
Varies widely by state and other factors. I'm at around $0.18 for 1kWh when you look at the overall bill including generation, supply, and all other fees.

(My car averages 3.3 miles / kWh, so ~$0.055 / mile assuming 100% charge efficiency... I'm using a 120V outlet so it's probably 75-80% charge efficiency, pushing the cost to ~$0.068 / mile.)
