DustinBrett··on Nvidia's 10-year effort to make the Shield TV the most updated Android device
It's sad how few competitors have come out in a decade.
DustinBrett··on 30 Years of ReactOS
How do you steal open source code? It's open.
DustinBrett··on 30 Years of ReactOS
I think it's not ready yet but I agree that eventually it will be. The 40th anniversary of ReactOS might have some substantial features. This is the decade of ReactOS!

At some point AI might get good enough to write whatever is missing from that thing. Seems like they have the ability to wait it out.
DustinBrett··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
I've been having good results lately/finally with Opus 4.5 in Cursor. It still isn't one-shotting my entire task, but the 90% of the way it gets me is pretty close to what I wanted, which is better than in the past. I feel more confident in telling it to change things without it making it worse. I only use it at work so I can't share anything, but I can say I write less code by hand now that it's producing something acceptable.

For sysops stuff I have found it extremely useful, once it has MCP's into all relevant services, I use it as the first place I go to ask what is happening with something specific on the backend.

I think that is the general style of overreacted.io posts.

DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
If they design the chip it is theirs. If you are saying fabs then nearly nobody has their own chips. But they plan to make fabs too.

This was your chance to provide the evidence to your claims. It is conjecture what you have provided. Waymo requires the remote operator make decisions often, such as at uncontrolled intersections when the lights go out, as shown in SF. Just because you don't see the strings doesn't mean they aren't there.

The safety driver is the remote operator that makes decisions for things as basic as uncontrolled intersections.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Optimus is early days, and my take isn't against remote operators but pointing out that Waymo relies on them much more than Tesla. You can go from 1 side of the country to the other without ever touching the wheel, something Waymo could not do. And the SF power outage incident showed us that it is actually only autonomous until it isn't, then you have a bunch of cars that can't move and won't and do not.

I can't tell if this was suppose to be for me, I am not Darren. The reply was on my thread...

My replies are at the same level as that which I respond to, never aggressive IMO.

And if you "knew" something about the relevant topic and leave it out, that in itself is part of the dishonesty.

So once you got a job at Google then you felt Waymo was better, hmmm.

Tesla has a robot taxi service that in some cases has nobody in the car. Also everyone that owns a Tesla has experienced FSD in which it goes from A to B without being touched which is the same as it driving by itself. A person just went cross country and back with this. So to say Tesla is doing none of the 100,000 things you think are required, I think that says more about what someone at Google thinks is needed vs what is happening on the ground.

I am not against remote operation in some cases, but those suggesting Waymo has solved this need to admit that it relies heavily on them for basic decision, like what to do when the power goes out at intersections.

Ah we found the expert here, well armchair one at least. So you have your idea of what's possible vs people doing it.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Let me Google that for you?
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Would be nice if you had been able to take it on, but as you say you don't have the data, so it's compared to nothing.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Any claims I care to learn about I would like evidence. Only anti-Tesla folks seem to be lacking it.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
But I told you it wasn't without drivers, so where is the response there or acknowledgment of the fact they all went down?
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
We being who? What is your evidence it's better? The fact all the cars stopped moving when the power went out? The fact they cost WayMore? Show the evidence for your claims. And they have remote operators as proven by the power outage.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Where is the proof/evidence for this statement?
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Show the proof then with links to unbias articles and the numbers/math.
DustinBrett··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
Show the cost differences and do the math then come back to us before you can suggest what decisions were ill timed. Otherwise it's just armchair engineering.
DustinBrett··on Show HN: DeepDream for Video with Temporal Consistency
Looking at that video makes me sick.
DustinBrett··on How did TVs get so cheap?
Sounds kind of dumb.
DustinBrett··on How did TVs get so cheap?
The top-end TV's are still quite expensive, if you want the best possible picture.
DustinBrett··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
Post the code open source and run it on prod.
DustinBrett··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
Now let's check the comments and see when and by how much they have become negative.
DustinBrett··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
I agree about those facts that the companies themselves posted. But for journalism to occur my hope would be the author needs to find out what that means for Tesla instead of speculating. Perhaps if it was posted as an opinion piece.
DustinBrett··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
The only fact was about the contract which is like a sentence of the article. Then it goes into a guessing game on what it could mean, with the most negative spin possible.
DustinBrett··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
The entire article is speculative.
