Tesla Balance Bike 19 hours ago

If your reaction to this is that it’s odd/creepy, that says more about you than it does the bike.

Putting things that are clearly not scandals damages the credibility of this site and masks the actual scandals.

Have you not seen Tesla's stock price? Autopilot? Robotaxis?

(I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot. I also live in downtown austin and see Robotaxis everywhere)

Lol I've pretty much checked out of HN since the discussion here is reddit r/technology level of competence.

The idea that TSLA is failing is so completely moronic that it's astonishing.

The stock is at an all time high?

At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Then do it.

Since when did HN become like Reddit? Always negative about everything?

Feels like all the losers from Reddit have somehow migrated here.

I get that it's a UI issue that OpenAI needs to solve. But it's really interesting how we have this crazy powerful tool like LLMs and the people on "hacker news" can't be bothered to spend enough time with them to develop good workflows.

Really shows how much the quality of the HN community has changed.

Great progress, but someone should still sue these companies for the years of discrimination disguised as “equity”
