Doesn’t have to replace an SWE. 10x-ing the ability of 1 engineer is a good enough win. Soon that will be 20-100x.

Feels odd to dismiss such a huge breakthrough by saying it’s still not as good as the pinnacle of AI (general AI). Just because the Apple 2 wasn’t a home super computer, didn’t make it less revolutionary.

My personal experience has been bad enough to not want to use it again.

First CCS cable I plugged in was broken or something because it would keep erroring out before charging. This is after 1+ min of using their app to connect to it each time (3 tries). Switched cables and it happened again on the first try. Tried again and it says it errored out again but starts charging. Obviously that is concerning but after 5+ mins of trying to get it started, I gave in. When I get back, my phone says it’s done and a $10 charge but the charger says $16. Check the app after and it says I was charged $16. Why is there such a significant discrepancy?

It’s such a backwards experience after using a supercharger where you just plug in and walk away.

Hopefully no one is using lambda for connection health checks. An empty static page on a CDN is probably a better use of resources.

But yeah, at that point just ping google since they’ve spent millions on availability.

Why pay for bandwidth when you can make Google take the cost?

I don’t agree with it but I’m sure it saves a few dollars.

Yeah, Amazon has the worst benefits for big tech. They started “considering” improving things before the economy was going down but seems like all that stopped.

It’s more in line with “traditional” companies. Amazon is going more down the IBM route everyday. For any Amazonians, it’s day 2.

Coinbase is terrible. I’ve tried signing up and they won’t let me because they’ve tagged my SSN with fraud but won’t tell me why. CS is nonexistent. But it’s okay, thanks Coinbase for helping me avoid you. Terrible company and service.

This isn’t that different from US 401k vesting.

Like Amazon has a 3 year vesting period for 401k matches. If you leave before then, you lose all the matched funds but keep your direct contributions.

Not sure why this is news other than trying ride the “big tech bad” viewpoint.

If Tesla doesn’t, people would do dumb stuff and the government would end up playing parent.

But that said, it’s fine. People who feel that way should not buy a Tesla or, if they do, don’t use AP. Free market and all that.

Driver was obviously not paying attention. How does someone notice their car braking significantly and not just press the accelerator to counter it? AP will disengage the brake at that point.

I think it’s made extremely clear that you need to be paying attention during FSD/AP. Car may have partial blame for doing something unexpected but driver didn’t do anything to get out of that situation.

Wouldn’t even say games division. They’re part of an acquired studio, Zenimax (parent company of Bethesda), that runs pretty independently.

While the headline is technically correct, it’s obviously clickbaity. Saying Zenimax QA engineers are unionizing doesn’t get as many clicks.

This is one of the few times where it makes sense to talk to a manager or higher.

This already exists in the US. All of the “PR news” sites are just paid PR releases. They make the product/company look good while spreading it over many sites to boost SEO and recognition but would also cover this.

It was the devices robotics teams, not the warehouse robotics. Like Scout and Astro.

Running out isn’t going to happen, they just lower the hiring bar. Not saying this is a good thing but it’s what’s happening.

Ethan Klein from h3h3 could match the look better.

It gives you another split second to recover. If you aren’t expecting it or just don’t have the body control for it, you’ll probably still go down.

No way on the tail. That’s the best way to emergency stop.

I can’t argue that fangs on the front could be safer but most riders I see would probably not recover a nose dive with them.

Bitcoin is constantly confiscated by the US government. Can you clarify what you mean?

You have found the reason for business credit cards (other than the credit part).

DoorDash takes up to a 30% cut even on pick up orders. Pretty rough deal for restaurants that have to use that service to survive. Just makes the costs go up for the rest of us.

You can usually transfer or resell those tickets on TM.

It just requires you to stay in their system instead of selling (taking a screenshot of the code) elsewhere.

If they locked the ticket to your name, that would actually block the scalpers but they don’t.

Yeah, versions of this story is making rounds on twitter/linkedin/fb.

Then again, it could be true. More likely to come up in conversation since people are reading it everywhere.

Seems like you’re working with a PM who thinks agile is an excuse to release bad software. MVP should still solve a customer pain point.

To play devils advocate though, maybe case 1,2,3 are low enough risk to release. Having metrics set to watch if these are actually big problems could be “good enough.”

I’m surprised how many people stopped reading at CICO. It’s like a meta example of clickbait in 3 sentences.

The IT Crowd is one of my favorite shows. I watched this awhile back and I was really sad to think, “well good thing that wasn’t made.”

HUDs already exist in cars to do something very similar without potentially confusing symbols that others will see.

Only printer I’ll buy. Does everything I need. Upkeep costs are negligible. Firmware updates don’t regress features.

Don’t have a lot of brand loyalty but nice to see them not shit on their customers.

If Boom is able to come out with a new supersonic aircraft, is it possible for a startup to compete with Boeing or Airbus in subsonic aircraft? Either coming up with a new design or another innovation that can compete. Or, are those companies pretty much set with impassable moats?

As the press release says, it’s specifically designed to replace over water routes. There are many international routes (some domestic, like Hawaii) that this can handle. So it won’t be doing anything like LA->NY.

It feels like a joke, how is this possible.

I can understand investing big in people but Adam would be the last person I would trust to be successful. The lack of owning responsibility in the failure of WeWork is a huge red flag. Why would A16Z give their largest investment to him?
