That's not surprising. The point isn't to use it to regularly drive tall adults around back there. It's for when your family of four needs to take two of your kids' friends somewhere, that kind of thing. We probably use it once every couple of months, but it's super handy at those times, and folds away out of sight and mind the rest of the time.

I think insiders would tell you off the record not to get an R1, but that the R2s should be much more robust. Of course it's untested at this point, but hopefully that's the case.

The only thing I'd miss about the MY is the 7-seat feature. I love the fact that you can technically cram two more people in the car on the occasional times when you need to, without needing to drive a giant 7-seat boat. I wish more mid-size electric SUVs did the same.

"It also spews garbage into the conversation stream then Claude talks about how it wasn't meant to talk about it, even though it's the one that brought it up."

This reminds me of someone else I hear about a lot these days.

The biggest one for me is that Discord will keep all history for free servers, whereas Slack only gives you access to 3 months iirc (and as of a year or two ago, has started permanently deleting older content).

Agreed. The commas before the sentence-ending 'too' and 'anyway' were perhaps slightly unusual, but not enough so that I even noticed them, and I don't think either is incorrect. All the rest were perfectly normal.

I'd advise sharing that knowledge with one trusted person outside your household too, especially if you and your partner have dependants.

It really depends on your use case, doesn't it? I'd say, just use Postgres... until you have a reason not to. We used finally switched to Elasticsearch to power user search queries of our vehicle listings a few years ago, and found its speed, capabilities, and simplicity all significant improvements compared to the MariaDB-based search we'd been using previously. (Postgres's search features are likely better than MariaDB's, but I expect the comparison holds.) But that's the core of our product, and while not giant, our scale is significant. If you're just doing some basic search, you don't need it. (We managed for many years just fine without.)

I've never really regretted waiting to move to a new tool, if we already had something that works. Usually by doing so you can wait for the fads to die down and for something to become the de facto standard, which tends to save a lot of time and effort. But sometimes you can in fact get value out of a specialized tool, and then you might as well use it.

Huh, apparently this is controversial, based on the score ping-ponging up and down! I'm not really sure why though. Is it because of the reference to MariaDB?

There was an article posted recently about a new discovery around CSF flows during sleep too. It sounds like yawning causes similar flows, which could maybe explain why you yawn more when tired? It could be a compensation mechanism to provide a bit of the same effect you normally get when sleeping.

I know that's true on a Model S or X, but is it the case on the 3 and Y as well? Those exterior handles seem mechanical (but I could certainly be wrong).

I do wonder if the handle shown in the article's image (from a Model 3 or Y) would actually fall under the ban though. It's flush, but it's fully mechanical and externally operated.

We have a Whirlpool that I love, but they discontinued it a couple years ago with no replacement, and I can't imagine why. I guess most people just shop on price, so it didn't sell. Like I said, a shame.

True, the solar panels would need to be enormous too.

Modern heat pumps are cheaper than oil for heating just about everywhere. They're cheaper than natural gas in most places, unless electricity prices where you live are particularly high.

We somewhat accidentally ended up with a good combo: we have a ventless heat pump dryer, and a heat pump water heater, also in the laundry room. So when doing laundry, the water heater cools the room while the dryer heats it, so they roughly cancel out.

As an aside, HP dryers are really elegant tech, and it's a shame they're not more common. They use the heat pump not just to heat the air in the dryer, but also to condense the moisture back out of it, so just the water can be drained away instead of needing to exhaust the air outside. So you need much less energy overall, and you don't need a dryer vent. The only downside is they're a bit slower, but ours has a resistive backup option for when you need clothes dry asap, so really it's just price.

That's fair. I meant they would need a clear path to open space not blocked by solar panels, but yes, a hot and cold side makes sense.

The whole concept is still insane though, fwiw.

That helps with the heat from the sun problem, but not the radiation of heat from the GPUs. Those radiators would need to be unshaded by the solar panels, and would need to be enormous. Cooling stuff in atmosphere is far easier than in vacuum.

If you find yourself 99.999% sure of almost anything it should be a bit of a red flag to you. If it's based on a hunch without any actual evidence, more so.

The remote machine that was compromised was responsible for Notepad++ updates, so the concern is that it could cause a compromised version of the software to be installed. But if it could do that, it could probably cause anything to be installed anywhere on the user's machine, so inspecting the installed N++ binary probably wouldn't be too useful.

No, it was self defense.

Unfortunately this doesn't work if you spawn your own noise polluter and they live in your house.

Optimus is complete vapourware. The quoted 1M units a year would be utterly unbelievable from any company, let alone Tesla with their history of over-promising.

Agreed, let alone 1M units a year!

From the comment you're replying to: "Windows does it better than my mac or Linux boxes by a mile"

So I wouldn't assume they've only used Windows. FWIW I also primarily use Windows 11 currently, but have also used other OS'es. I've experienced frustrations with all of them. Just because it's fast for you doesn't mean it's fast for everyone, and vice-versa. I could certainly buy that more people are having problems with 11 than they did with 10, though it hasn't been my personal experience. Just saying we shouldn't assume our own experiences are universal.

There is a pessimistic take on that too though. What if the next guy gives you all the corruption and cruelty, without the vanity and stupidity?

I don't know, one might argue the US primary system is closer to the circus.

It seems optimistic to me at this point that he could be replaced by a Republican not largely crafted in his image. It's possible, but I certainly wouldn't take it for granted.

I certainly believe he feels less fear. Doesn't mean he wants to die. I'm sure at an intellectual level he enjoys life and doesn't want it to end. I just doubt he gets the innate "nope nope nope" of fear that 99% of people would get when contemplating an activity like this.

It's not 25% per climb, but it's not near zero either, especially in aggregate. It only takes one mistake. A fairly high percentage of famous free soloists (I'd say over 25%) have died prematurely, either while free soloing, or during other extreme sports.

Driving is more dangerous than a lot of things, but free solo definitely isn't one of them.
