762236··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
All EV trucks suck at pulling, so that's a category problem. It's designed to ride like a car, as truck dynamics of leaf spring suspension on a solid rear axle isn't actually good technically. The feel, though, is a personal preference. It is not a hobby nor a toy: it is fully functional as a truck other than for pulling long miles. It is way more capable than other trucks on certain dimensions. Other trucks are outrageously expensive with similar features. I feel like you are biased.

How do you not understand the trickle down effect of motorsports, given that you work for a competitor? The tech in the roadster trickles down to normal cars (e.g., its drivetrain advancements), and possibly to off-planet rovers (Earth is the brutal case to test the equipment on, but I don't know enough about the potential to reuse here).

762236··on R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs
Sounds like a reasonable explanation. I've never wanted to deal with running an open-source community (I'm way too introverted and focused on coding, not chatting), but now that AI is here, I will be releasing something awesome. I don't know how I'm going to deal with the community though. Possibly it will be so awesome that others create the community in my absence, and that solves the problem.
762236··on Tesla Roadster
This is silly. I bought my Model Y specifically because its safety is so high. You can see it in (1) the crash rate numbers when using FSD, (2) the crash-test ratings are fantastic, and (3) impossible situations where people survived such as plummeting off a cliff on route 1.
762236··on Container ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz as Iran steps up attacks
International law is primarily a set of treaties between sovereigns. The point of being sovereign is that you can unilaterally leave a treaty. There are consequences to doing that for those that are weaker, of course.
762236··on Container ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz as Iran steps up attacks
I can't decipher what you refer to with 'your'.
762236··on Container ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz as Iran steps up attacks
It sounds like you're justifying Iranian war crimes. Retaliatory strikes against American military targets aren't war crimes.
762236··on Feds got warrants to use fake cell towers to hunt down Don Lemon's producer
Those of us that believe in preserving civil liberties argue that we should take away powers of the government so it is harder to bully people under the color of law --- the process is the punishment. I'm not sure why the left only cares about this topic now, and not when the left was in power. The Left had a lot of opportunities to take away government powers before Trump entered office.
762236··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Bad phrasing on my part. That is one of many reasons
762236··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Do not forget that world leaders are heads of sovereign states that are in charge of their self defense. Those that actually have to defend themselves, like the US, rather than relying on strong allies, need to make public statements that are not hypocritical about what they would do for self defense. This is why both U.S. administrations support Israel's actions
762236··on Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM
I made myself an expert at Rust before I started using LLM's, and I review the code.
762236··on Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM
Not if an LLM writes your code. I get thousands of lines of high quality Rust per day without ever stepping into VScode.
762236··on Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM
It makes sense to always explain acronyms. I always do to avoid random people reaching out for more explanations
762236··on Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM
Why don't people explain their acronyms? What is a Rust LSP?
762236··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
I'm not understanding the issue here, as everyone has different expectations for prose. No matter which LLM I use, I will provide a skill to generate high-quality prose. It is the first thing I add to my repo that I'm working on.
762236··on US announces new sanctions on top ICC figures
This is exactly what I mean: you take what the news reports as evidence, when the news is hearsay. Courts don't run off of hearsay. I know quite a bit of what actually happened, and it doesn't match what you're saying. You've bypassed epistemology and gone to condemnation.
762236··on US announces new sanctions on top ICC figures
This mentality is exactly why the US is doing this. You've already condemned people without access to any good evidence. Besides, US defense requires the ability to do everything Israel did against Gaza.
762236··on I'll be stepping back from leading product for X
It's wild to me how many replies are like this. I like X. HN, on the other hand is miserable, with censorship through down votes of unorthodox thinkers (PG would be completely down voted if he were to post here anonymously).
762236··on U.S. used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war
They want this problem to be solved. So you spend the munitions, forcing the manufacturing problem to get fixed. This works in favor of Anduril, which cares about manufacturing scalability
762236··on Quality non-fiction books are the antithesis of AI slop
I've gotten AI to write things that made me teary eyed --- it manipulated me
762236··on Prefer strict tables in SQLite
If I'm interested in a Jeep or Bronco, I don't go to a car reviewer. They say it is noisy and handles poorly. They act like their use case is what matters for something obviously targeting a different use case.
762236··on Einstein's relativity rules chemical bonds in heavy elements, new research shows
Gold electrons at inner orbits travel at a large fraction of the speed of light, which is why gold isn't a silver color. That is really neat.
762236··on Mortality associated with non-optimal ambient temperatures from 2000 to 2019
Acute heat exposure, like 45 minutes where sweat is starting to accumulate on your skin, causes capillary growth and other adaptations some weeks later. If you don't have those adaptations already when exposed to heat, and you're weak, you're going to be in trouble.
762236··on Stanford grads walk out on Google CEO Sundar Pichai speech
It's performance for social standing. They don't actually care.
762236··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
I'm not sure why they think I have the time to read all of that.
762236··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
If troops get deployed, it will no longer be an air war. Part of keeping it an air war is to achieve the original objectives, and getting Iran to think that troops are coming is a way to increase the probability of achieving those objectives. If you don't know how war, or game theory, works, why are you commenting on it?
762236··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
What he says matches to reality: that regime change isn't possible with an air war. Thus even if you don't listen to him, we know from prior experience that regime change is highly improbable. Every person educated about these things knows that.
762236··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
No air war has changed a regime. The US government knows this. Trump knows this and never had regime change as an objective. Why are you saying that regime change was an objective, and how do you think it was going to happen in an air war when no air war has caused a regime change before?
762236··on Windows native app development is a mess
This is such a wonderfully beneficial comment to the HN community. It should get an award.
762236··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
It used to be a principle of the left to believe in free speech. Now that is called right wing.
762236··on Genetic data from over 20k U.S. children misused for 'race science'
Totally agree.
