  1. You can't buy it at all, yet.

    Also, with the way these kinds of things have gone in the past:

    - It's not certain that you'll ever be able to buy it. - If you can buy it, it'll probably be closer to $40k than $25k with no add-ons. - It's not certain that you'll ever actually be able to buy it with no add-ons. - Orders that include all of the most expensive add-ons will be heavily prioritized, so even if you can order it without add-ons, the queue could be months or years long. - The ones that you can actually get in a reasonable amount of time will be closer to $50k than $25k.

  2. I don't think it's a huge stretch to consider supporting circumcision of children as being a call to violence against children, though. Just because it's being done for religious reasons and it has been done by a large population for a long time really doesn't change what it is: involuntary body modification of children.
  3. Hang on, my understanding of the situation is that only PEs are allowed to sign off on the design of a thing. They don't have to design it, and they almost certainly don't build it. Am I wrong?
  4. Adaptive headlights have only been approved for use in the US for ~3 years. They were sold in cars in the US before that, but the adaptive function was disabled.
  5. A version that is just plainly nerdy (and more comfortable) might not be a bad idea; maybe call it the developer version or something to avoid any association with fashion or luxury.
  6. Doesn’t that make the wrist accessory the important part? The chunky glasses look like they’re still too early, not enough tech.
  7. No, L5 is a car that can drive itself anywhere in any conditions.
  8. It's not an exact quote, but it was on The Charlie Kirk Show, on July 13th 2023. The video is still available, it's around 53:45 in.
  9. It turns out, at least so far, we can still choose violence.
  10. The objective was clearly dismantling institutions, not saving money.
  11. How much would it cost them to catch it, though? Not just in money, but time. How do you know it doesn't make sense?
  12. Tesla's "Acceleration Boost" is $2000...
  13. You can tell gpt to write a program to count the n's in 'banana', and then run the program to find the answer, and it can do that.
  14. Windows 2000 in a JS VM is available: https://bellard.org/jslinux/
  15. This is an instrument that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. More than half a billion considering the others in the program. It is still producing data. If you are arguing in favor of destroying this asset, then you have ulterior motive or terrible judgement.
  16. The lawmakers that demand ID for voting also work to reduce access to ID. The most obvious way is just closing facilities that issue IDs, but also through fees and documentation requirements.
  17. They didn’t trust the government and wanted you to stop trusting the government too.

    They know that their own public statements are not trustworthy (they are peddling weird bullshit for profit in their private lives, after all).

    They got themselves elected and so now you don’t trust the government.

    Mission accomplished.

  18. This kind of thing is a key point. Tell Claude Code to build the project, run linters, run the tests, and fix the errors. This (in my experience) has a good chance of filtering out mistakes. Claude is fully capable of running all of the tools, reading the output, and iterating. Higher level mistakes will need code written in a way that is testable with tests that can catch them, although you probably want that anyway.
  19. It is the duty of the Congress to right this wrong and they will fail this test.
  20. I don’t get the feeling that the amount of money being spent is at all casual.
  21. As a user I found it to be pretty buggy; driver issues on Intel NUCs causing instability.
  22. Let’s see how the rural poor feel when their hospital closes, they can’t get medicaid, health insurance is wildly out of reach, they have no ability to borrow money thanks to insane medical debt that they can never repay, and their wages are garnished for student debt from a degree they never finished. How long until debt becomes a crime?

    We’re gonna recreate serfdom in the USA.

  23. They are:

    - significantly raising taxes on imported goods - letting ACA subsidies expire - reducing access to medicaid - allowing medical debt on credit reports - resuming collections/garnishment for student loans - reducing options for student loan repayment / forgiveness

    they're going after the poor

  24. I think the answer is probably that life is easy enough. Directly or indirectly, as a lord optimizing for just barely good enough will leave you in power. Until an invader shows up.
  25. I second this and would add that you really need an automated way to do it. For coding, automated test suites go a long way toward catching boneheaded edits. It will understand the error messages from the failed tests and fix the mistakes more or less by itself.

    But for other tasks like generating reports, I ask it to write little tools to reformat data with a schema definition, perform calculations, or do other things that are fairly easy to then double-check with tests that produce errors that it can work with. Having it "do math in its head" is just begging for disaster. But, it can easily write a tool to do it correctly.

  26. The government didn't do that.

    "The primary weakness in the record of past restrictions is the lack of specific causation findings with respect to any discrete instance of content moderation."

  27. Senior devs provide better instructions to the agent, and can recognize more kinds of mistakes and can recognize mistakes more quickly. The feedback loop is more useful to someone with more experience.

    I had a feeling today that I should really be managing multiple instances at once, because they’re currently so slow that there’s some “downtime”.

  28. In person, on the real screen, is the font easier to read? I don’t understand why they didn’t go with something more… “plain”?
  29. > The only ones that do it relatively well are pizza joints and they usually have their own delivery service so you don't even have to use these apps.

    At least in my area, the pizza joints also use DoorDash now. They're not just available on DoorDash. It is delivered by DoorDash also when ordering directly from the pizza joint.
