My Model Y in Vancouver drives me to and from work daily. I cannot get a Waymo here -- and I certainly cannot purchase one privately. Which is more effective where I live?

I have 2 AI4 Teslas with FSD, and I don't find V13.2.9 lacking at all in the Vancouver area. V14 will be a 10x increase in parameters, too. Why do you feel it's a "joke"?

I have friends on the Autopilot team (and a son). Their goal is by end of year. I've been on HN for 15+ years, and seemingly the only downvotes I get are when I post my thoughts and opinions on Tesla.

Overvalued by traditional (PE) means. I've ridden in Waymo (50+) and Austin Robotaxis (12). Tesla has Waymo beat in terms of human-like feel, interior features (sync to your own Spotify, Youtube, etc). When Tesla removes the passenger seat monitor, scaling will happen much faster than Waymo... Tesla just received the initial license for driverless Robotaxi in Nevada. Tesla also produces more Robotaxi-capable Model Ys in ~6 hours as Waymo has cars in service (in total).

I own 9,000 shares and started buying in 2019. We own 3 Teslas and all have FSD. I've taken 10+ Robotaxi rides in Austin. And my son is an engineer there. I can assure you the Optimus program is no gimmick. You're falling for many lies being told. Q3 will be a record quarter (in Teslas entire history), with new model(s) coming early in Q4.

~17% I believe?

Yes. 50-100hp depending on Model 3 or Y. VW offers ~25hp.

Seriously? FSD Tracker? Qualitative, unscientific, ridiculously-low sample size. Straight out of the mouth of an LLM...

You seem to have it all figured out.

Congrats on shipping!

Here's some quick feedback -- hope it's useful:

1. Is the little bug icon sufficiently visible? I'm not sure...

2. Do visitors automatically know what to do with the bug? You have a tooltip, but do all visitors know what "Spotted a bug?" means?

3. [more of a suggestion; perhaps it does this already] Would be great if the bug position pulled in a CSS class or the content surrounding the "dropped" bug -- to give more context to the site owner.

I've been using Windsurf for a few weeks. I'm a novice programmer trying to build a web app using React and NextJS.

The "context-in-the-codebase" thing for AI-based IDEsis overrated IMO. To extract the most from it, you have to remember to @mention the files.

If you don't remember to @mention specific files, the agent simply tries to perform searches (i.e., it has access to that tool) on the files and folders until it gets some results... and will usually keep broadening the search until it does.

It works well enough I suppose. But I still find myself beginning new chats (for example, per feature) because the model still loses its place, and with all the code/lint fixes it does, it starts to lose context.

Then you're right back having to @mention more files to ensure the model knows how to structure your front end, back end, etc.

(Please excuse any misnamed development terms.) :-)

I use it every day on every street in Vancouver. Where do you come up with your information?

I’d say 500M WAUs on chatGPT alone qualifies as widespread use.

But 4.1 isn't in the web UI... only the API. So use it in the system prompt in the API call?

He only holds ~15% of Tesla. His real money is in SpaceX... 50% ownership there. I wish people would think just a little before parroting the "hit Musk where it hurts" drivel.

I'm one such person. I just visited because the weather was incredible and the people were/are fabulous.

The "country" is hinting? What exactly does that look like? The Americans I just spent a week with were lovely.

Victoria-based Canadian here. Just back from a week in Palm Springs and a road trip to Disneyland. Met lots of visiting Canadians and talked to lots of Americans. Much of the discussion was around the horrible currency exchange rate. Why doesn't the article get into that?

It's unlikely the rift will have any real impact:

"In 2025, Quilty forecast that it [Starlink] will count 7.8 million people around the world as customers and generate $11.8 billion in sales."

It is currently and likely will continue to be the biggest revenue driver for SpaceX, Mexico or not.

What's happening? I've been reading HN for 15 years, and I'm seeing more and more political BS disguised as something worth sharing HN... wtf?

Who is "us"?

So you're saying there is literally nothing good about Sora?

Just did a CTRL-F and I am shocked nobody is talking about the magnificent McIntosh. Does the rest of the world (outside of Canada) not get them? The fruit has red and green skin, a tart flavour, and tender white flesh, which ripens in late September. They've converted many, many people from other variants...

It was, in fact, the booster ("coming in harder and faster"). The upper stage's orientation was being tested (nose down until final flip) as was the removal of 2,100 heat shield tiles.

How do you know with certainty that you do not dream? You spend zero minutes in REM? Do you track with Whoop or something similar?

6 million cars equipped with the ADAS (FAR more than anyone else), so your statement is misleading.

The losses are currently in the neighborhood of $1B per year. That may or may not reduce... scaling is hard. For every car they add right now, the worse the loss becomes. So I'm a little skeptical on your valuation estimate.

Looks like YC is moving to 4 cohorts annually -- and I agree with you on the AI product density in the past few batches -- but I've heard (from two alum) that the smaller sub-cohorts (i.e., within a batch) make it feel smaller and more intimate.

I took a Waymo this past weekend in SF. 8 miles, $41, and 51 minutes to cross town in light-medium traffic. It clearly has to avoid certain routes due to insufficient HD mapping -- like construction. 51 minutes is way too long, fun as the experience is with no driver...

I get such a laugh out of the negative sentiment about Tesla and Musk on HN. Such a predictable crowd.
