It used to be a flex to say you deploy daily but it’s going to become a necessity just to keep up with the vulns

Mine is anyways lol

Roombas are already programmed not to yeet themselves off of stairs

I have a high-end device and the page still behaves atrociously for me. The scrolling is totally out of whack

It seems the bug here was caught by Asan instead of at compile time, so basically, for this one bug, rust is reduced to C++-like behavior. You’re still better off using rust because of all the bugs the borrow checker does catch.

The practical upshot to me is that you should be running your rust tests under asan.

> What the people defacto running the world's most powerful economy are saying seems quite important to get from a primary source

Are you talking about WeChat, or truth social? I didn’t know nitter worked on either

Until Twitter sues the newspapers for rehosting their (users’) content

This is very clearly an attempt by X to use the legal system to harass people doing perfectly legal things. The chilling effect on speech is the whole point

The rest of that document makes a pretty compelling case for why this is a bad practice

Flipping the breaker for each circuit as you start and finish working on it sounds eminently reasonable

Why not just shut off the breaker though? What’s the harm in that?

They literally did replace power plants with these batteries though. From the article: “ GMP similarly used to rely on oil, diesel and natural gas peaker plants to meet peak demand. Now the company's virtual power plant has effectively replaced them, says McClure. "We've been slowly able to decommission those as they've become end-of-life," she says.”

Which version do you have? I believe they switched to LFP for V3, which should pose significantly less fire risk than the NMC chemistry they were using for V2 and before

I think they mean to use EV batteries would require the EV to be designed for V2G capability, which is currently rare

It seems like an unreservedly good thing if people with home batteries can help prevent brownouts and reduce prices for everyone else. Also, I believe the $150/day figure was during a rare heatwave event when prices had surged to 100x their typical value ($5/kWh). It’s like any other investment where you outlay cash upfront and hope to make it back over time, whether via reduced costs for your own electricity usage or selling it back to the grid when doing so is profitable.

> Anyway, for a bit of context: the current first orbital flight, with 26 satellites deploying right now, is adding the same amount of Starlink bandwidth as 10+ F9 launches.

The mass being launched is roughly 50 metric tons, which is a bit over twice F9’s capacity. Yet it took something like 10x the propellant because of the fundamental rocket equation. I don’t think there’s a path to starship being economical

What is the quality difference between the API and subscriptions?

I don’t think reliable data exists for making these comparisons, but even if it did, how you perform on an IQ test is strongly influenced by your schooling.

The Solterra got a lot better in the 2026 model year. It’s not a bottom-tier EV anymore. (Disclosure: I have one)

Subaru dealers near me have the Trailseeker, an EV comparable to the Outback, listed around $35k

I tried to create an account but Elon banned it within a couple of hours for being inauthentic. Ironic given the large number of bots on the site

Twitter stopped publishing stats on its user counts when it went private, so we don’t know if those have gone up, down, or sideways. We do have some numbers for Europe since about 2023 because of reporting mandates, and they seem to show a downward trend.

They do have some gearbox oil that is usually considered to last a lifetime but some sources advise changing it every 100k miles or so. This is analogous to transmission fluid in an ICEV.

Not having to deal with oil changes is one of the many benefits of driving an EV

Because it seems like most of the work may have been done by human mathematicians and cribbed by OpenAI at the last minute

We pretty much crossed this bridge in 1976 with the proof of the four-color theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Color_Theorem

Qwen is very much censored. Just try asking it about Tiananmen or how to build a bomb. But it is nice that you can experiment with it locally without having to worry about your account getting nuked

The battery linked in the article (https://eu.ecoflow.com/products/stream-series-solar-battery) advertises a 15 year lifespan and 10 year warranty. Personally I would expect batteries to last longer than that but 12 years feels fair

In the U.S. our standard outlets are 120V, so you only get about 1kW or so out of them. Plenty for most people, but annoying if you need >50 miles of range a day, or if you want to boil water in an electric kettle. The situation is much better in Europe, and most of the rest of the world, where you have 220+V

I agree charging at home/work is best, and ideally we would have ubiquitous slow charging at apartment lots, workplaces, and on the street. But that’s not really realistic right now in the U.S., and more importantly, it isn’t under Tesla’s control. Whereas they could have solved the problem for people with less charging access by making their fast charging faster like BYD has done.

With respect to your phone analogy, if I weren’t able to charge my phone at home or at work, I would definitely be interested in being able to fast-charge it at some conveniently located business
