voski··on I visited over 120 EV chargers: why so many were broken
What do you mean the Tesla standard is coming to most brands?

I was under the impression that Tesla is introducing new stations that have CCS chargers. Either with multiple cables or an adapter. You start the station using the Tesla mobile app.

It’s in beta available in certain locations

voski··on How Doctors buy their way out of trouble
They tried to do this to my father a few weeks ago.

The first doctor he saw at the emergency room told him his only option is open heart surgery. He explicitly told us to not waste time getting second opinions.

Thankfully we did not listen and we were able to consult with two different cardiologists. They both independently said that they could easily treat him with an angioplasty.

voski··on The persistent and pervasive impact of bullying in childhood and adolescence
I was also bullied a lot. Especially between first and eight grade. I was much bigger than everyone else but I would never fight back. I always felt bad about potentially hurting someone else so I would just take it.

The kids couldn’t actually physically damage me since I was so much bigger. They did cause a lot of psychological harm. I had a very negative predisposition towards anyone that I met. I just assumed everyone would be hostile towards me and would want to make fun of me. I still struggle with this mindset and I am in my thirties. I will usually be very shut off from people I do not know.

There were a couple of times that I did stand up for myself. Each time the bullying completely stopped.

I thought I was being the better person by not fighting back but that was not true. I was being harmless. That harmlessness invited more violence.

voski··on Ask HN: Have you ever heard of users demonstrating against software?
Put yourself in the shoes of the staff. They have a workflow that works for them that was taken away. It’s replaced with a new system that they do not know how to use. Now they can’t even do their jobs normally. I could see them being really upset about this.
voski··on Tesla Vehicle Production and Deliveries for 3Q 2022
Good write up. Thank you for the response I agree with you.
voski··on Tesla Vehicle Production and Deliveries for 3Q 2022
It is legit.

I don’t think CarPlay is coming. It is a product decision right? They want you using Tesla premium connectivity. CarPlay would let you bypass that.

Yes you are right the fit and finish on its own is not enough. However there shouldn’t be any fit and finish issues in my opinion. I paid the asking price so why am I getting a discounted fit and finish.

These are just a list of things that come to mind. It’s multiple straws that broke the camels back for me. Some of them are with the car itself and the others are with Tesla employees. All accumulating to me not trusting Tesla.

* 0-60 time increased after I placed my order and before the car was delivered

* sales team lied to me

* service advisors lied to me

* service management lied to me

* car doesn’t come with floor mats

* too many false positive “safety” alarms. Road side departure warning goes off a lot for me when I’m dead center in the lane. It’s really stressful for me and any passengers

* super chargers rarely charge at max speed

* supercharger musical chairs when the station is full

* phantom rattling noises from the cabin

* ui tweaks and “experiments” are annoying. Stop changing my interface

* playback of sentry mode videos is buggy

* non-standard charge port

* windshield wiper fluid sprays everywhere but the windshield

I could keep going. I’m just over the hype and don’t really want to deal with the company any more.

There are a lot of good things about it. I enjoy how the car drives and handles. The iOS app is great.

I think you will like the model 3 more than a volt or a bolt.

I am in a similar situation as you. I want to get rid of my model 3 but I am not sure what to replace it with…

No EV exists with the same performance in that price range.

I do not like my model 3. Tesla service is not trustworthy in my experience. My car was delivered with minor fit and finish issues.

I despise the lack of apple car play or android auto.

voski··on Algorithms and data structures implemented in many programming languages
The README has a section about the code

> Implementations are for learning purposes only. As they may be less efficient than the implementations in the Python standard library, use them at your discretion.

voski··on Factorio is coming to Nintendo Switch
I noticed that performance issues arise from having large groups of biters attacking. Something with the pathing for the enemies uses a huge about of CPU

Hi your content sounds interesting to me. I couldn’t find a YouTube channel named djaychela. Would you mind sharing?
voski··on Psilocybin microdosing does not reduce symptoms of depression or anxiety
Hmm not sure I agree with you. You can see things from another perspective when you are completely sober...
voski··on Psilocybin microdosing does not reduce symptoms of depression or anxiety
I do understand that they are talking about micro dosing. I suppose I don't really know what the definition of micro dosing is. Is it taking something and not crossing the threshold for it to have any effects? If so what would the point of that be... Is it taking the minimum amount to pass the threshold?

I have experienced the effects I talked about above with 300-500 mg doses of raw mushrooms. I don't know the amount of psilocybin... But that is a relatively small dose of mushrooms.

voski··on Psilocybin microdosing does not reduce symptoms of depression or anxiety
I think the researchers don’t understand how it works.

It’s not that you take mushrooms and suddenly your anxiety decreases. It doesn’t give you anxiety immunity either…

I think it gives you the opportunity to see things from another perspective. If you can make use of this opportunity you can break down your conditioning and maybe free yourself from your anxiety.

It all depends on where you go with it in your head.

Any hints on challenge #5? FromHex returns something that looks like it has the bz2 compression header. Trying to decompress w/ bz2 doesn't seem to work though.

voski··on I tried to buy a coffee with McDonalds mobile app, instead I was defrauded $2000
I find myself not actually giving out my real credit card or debit card number to companies now a days. Everyone wants to store your card info but I can’t trust them to not have a security breach.

There is an app called Privacy. I just generate a one time use or locked to merchant card with a limit.
