They are racist, and unfortunately hard core israel supporter, which makes anybody that doesn't go with that agenda as a target.

The moment that Mandani said he will stay home and serve the people of NYC, what asked 'where are you going to make your first visit when elected' it made him a target. He showed he wasn't willing to bow down to a foreign power.

NYT still tries to put a veneer of modicum. NY Post is the one that is unbashingly always negative against Mamdani, full on attacks all the time.

I think people had enough of it, and saw through it and voted for him just in spite.

I know all the members of my soccer team voted for him. I had no clue who he was, but all the attacks backfired and made him even more famous.

French foreign services said they discovered this, but they haven't made all material they know public. They say the contacted the NY/US authorities with what they know.

Do you think they are lying just for kicks?

Number 1 problem is battery weight though. Not electric motors.

I have a 84 w123 300D, and would love to add some more power to it. Lightweight hub motors would be great, but any decent size battery would be at least 200lbs+, which is hard to do on a old chasy.

AI Coding is great helper but not a substitutue for producing decent looking apps.

Anytime I let lose AI (Both Codex and Claude), they end up producing slop that is overcomplicated, and that looks like a generic tutorial interface. Great for toy apps but not for serious one.

When I do most of the architecture, and use AI to 'fill in the blanks' or just finish some functionality here and there, then AI is great.

The main reason is that it is trained by public code that is mostly tutorials, and simple apps, so AI can't build a great looking one by itself (or it doesn't how to do large apps). But for specific features, it is great.

TLDR: It is still a 'fill in the funcionality here' type of help. Folks that are successful with letting 'multiple agents' running in the background are mostly for backend work where the results are easier to verify.

Also, there is a lot of LARPING in twitter sphere exaggerating what AI can realistically do right now. But I can see how it can affect entry level jobs. AI is still like an CS intern, or very very junior engineer.

LMAO, this thing is so ugly. It looks like a generic Chinese EV. Interior looks good, but the exterior is just a boat. 5.05m long, 2m wide, 5000lbs heavy. Looks like a mix of the Jag Epace and the Mustang EV/Mache

Can't believe they are asking 600k for this thing.

It is almost like Ferrari is trying to punk its customers.

Ps. Everyone is hating it on FerrariChat

I worked at Instagram during this (not at the EeE, but saw enough of it, to see that it was a mess).

I think the reason for dropping it, is more of a technical issue and user experience, rather than a 'desire' issue or company will. From my understanding, Zuck wanted this. The implementation was a mess, and folks have different expectations about messages to appear at every platform. Having messages disappear between devices/web, or having to back up encryption, keys, etc... it was just a terrible user experience. Even employees, disliked this feature.

This was not something actually asked by users, but more of a feature done in order to thwart all the types of legal issues created when folks use the platform.

At some point, I counted, there were 64 'leads', just to make this happen. Each lead, had a certain area, or surface/views, which means we are talking about hundreds of folks involved to make this happen (across fb and ig).

It was a boodongle, and it was something that users didn't ask.

Ps. I know, many here at HN really care about this, but the average user was not willing to put up with the degradation of the user experience in order to make this happen. All workarounds, require weakening E2E, which made it pointless.

Ultimately, If you want a truly E2E, you will have to use a platform specifically made for it. IG/FB are just not it.

Even Telegram, doesn't have it enabled by default, unless you specifiy it.

You are not getting it. There are plenty of cars that have 600+ hp and are manual.

The Ferrari Roma, or Amalfi, are within that 600hp - 800hp range.

Simply, the new leadership thinks there is not enough market for it, and that's why. Mainly, because in the 2010-2015 era, when the pdk/dual clutch became popular, folks stopped buying manuals. But that attitude has changed, and folks are wanting for more manual experiences.

There is your list. https://carbuzz.com/10-most-powerful-cars-ever-with-a-manual...

You have cars from 600hp up to 800+ hp and safely can handle a manual transmission.

It is not a technical issue, just a leadership mentality issue.

I wish Ferrari would bring their manuals back. Their gated manual was such a joy to use. There is probably enough demand (look at the used prices, where manuals sell 40% more), but the new management seems keen to just try to squeeze as much profit as they can from their current tech stack.

They have ceased to become a great fun car, to more just something to show off/luxury empty toy.

It is basically a Mustang body on a tesla chasis... which misses the point of having a classic car.

While there is nothing wrong with converting your classic car to electric, if the powertrain is shot (they are harder to maintain as they age), but IMO, it looses the charm of the point of having a classical car.

Few years ago, there was a trend to do these conversions, but that stopped as people realised the car loses its charm and the feel of having old classic car, and most of them are not being used as dailies anyways.

Whoever designed the modern version of it, did an awesome job. Modern porsches (past 2000) have gotten a bit too boring, and it needs to be bring some more color in their line up.

I left Meta a while ago... but these layoffs (multiple rounds every year) have been very demoralizing to the folks there.

I survived all three rounds of layoffs, but I saw multiple great colleagues (some of them had been there for 10+ years), getting laid off. After so many re-orgs, I had enough and quit. It was just not worth it (all that uncertainity, people were unhappy, hunger games into trying to get a good rating, etc).

I think Zuck is taking its "Meta" failure (VR) into his own employees. After their treatment, many good people don't want to join Meta anymore, hence he had to spend so much money into buying engineers to join.

I think it is the start of a downwards spiral.

Lol... Hey now, I am Albanian, and we have delicious food. :) And export a bunch of random things (like Oregano, Olive Oil, Lavender, Shoes, etc..), and some steel and oil. But, mostly 'light industry' stuff.

Awesome... time to get the moonshine flowing again!

Never.... we are always changing, but looking at car accident rates:

There are two periods where there are sharp declines: 19, and sometimes after 26, all the way to 35.

https://www.hallandalelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IIH...

If we assume, this is a indicator 'maturity', then the answer should be around 26-35, depending on the individual. It seems that the founding fathers were into something when the made the minimal age for a president at 35.

There is a reversal at 75+, but this is due to age related issues. And my experience from the older folks in my life, it seems people start reverting to a 'teenage' like state at 75+.

Agreed on your points. This conflict, just validated the North Korea style of strategy to all regimes out there. It does the opposite of what it is intended.

I hope things do get de-escalated soon, as this is not good for any party (apart Israel and Russia, which are the main gainers of all this mess).

What are you talking about? The strait was open, and tankers were not paying tolls as they do now.

They held the threat of closing it, as a deterrent of an attack, and once attacked, they did just that.

You either live in a parallel universe, or are just spewing here propaganda.

No one in the US asked for this. Such a dumb move from the current administration.

It is to benefit Israel (so it can anex more territory in Lebanon), and it has no benefit to the US. The US had already a deal with Iran, which didn't threat its own interests directly. It is like leave a snake alone, but once you step into it, it will bite you.

This war is only to benefit Israel, and right now indirectly Russia (due to the rising prices). Basically, the US is the main loser/sucker in this war, and we are all poorer for doing it.

Did you even read it? He mentions that, and also He says that the regime is 'odious' right in the beginning, and is looking more from the US self interest and strategic perspective.

"It certainly did not help that the United States had stood idle while the regime slaughtered tens of thousands of its opponents, before making the attempt,"

"Now, before we go forward, I want to clarify a few things. First, none of this is a defense of the Iranian regime, which is odious. That said, there are many odious regimes in the world and we do not go to war with all of them. Second, this is a post fundamentally about American strategy or the lack thereof and thus not a post"

I hate how pendantic and useless some of the features of swift being pushed down by academics that don't write apps or services themselves.

Simple example:

Objective-C

if myObject {

}

in swift if myObject != nil {

}

Also opitionals in swift could have totally be avoided if they adopted a prototype based langue (basically object are never nil). Lua did this, and it is very elegant

But meanwhile, we got a half backed optional system, which is backwards (similiar to Java), and didn't help with the practicality of the language at all, and meanwhile you still can crash an app doing myArray[1]

Such a mess. You can tell the people that designed it never wrote a client or an app in their lives. It is pure academic pendatry in display.

This was doesn't benefit the US whatsoever. I am getting tired of our taxes going to another useless war, like the Iraq one, that only benefits a foreign entity, aka Israel.

Iran could have been contained and Obama was right on his approach. We don't know the details of the strikes, but I hope it doesn't go into a full blown war, but this will be another Iraq like disaster, and american people are getting tired of doing the bidding of Isreal, a country that is already mirred into doing a genocide. This war is already unpopular in pools. Iran's regime is terrible to its people, but this has the potential to be another disaster where countless of people could die.

lol... people that complain about XCode don't know how well they have compare to what it was before.

I started my work on the J2ME era as well. Had to use textpad for development, and maybe eclipse at some point (which was pretty decent). Tools and simulators were all over the place.

I have a 39" (almost 40") LG ultrawide, and it is the perfect size. Can't see how a larger monitor would fit a normal desk...

BUT.... this is perfect for folks that want to use one monitor for both work, and as/for entertainment /just normal tv watching in a living room.

I am in Miami right now, and verizon is not working here. (I get the SOS sign).

KONAMI's PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) - (or Winning Eleven as it was called originally), has always had better gameplay. What it suffered was lack of liseneces.

Now it is free and called eFootball... and obviously not that same, but PES has always been the favorite of fans gameplay wise.

They say to replace them with Banners, which are just a different style of a "Toaster", just usually stay longer, or are permanent until the user takes an action.

Oh, dang.... the great 2030 pandemic is coming...

I don't think this bodes well for the future. Both rats and bats have been huge vectors of diseases. This is going to produce some kind of super virus that will be another middle age plague like pandemic.

Apple Silicon was started by/during the Steve Jobs era in 2010. You seeing the rewards now (well starting in 2019), because it takes so long to produce a chip.

Composition folks can get very dogmatic.

I have some data types (structs or objects), that I want to serialize, persist, and that they have some common attributes of behaviors.

In swift I can have each object to conform to Hashable, Identifiable, Codabele, etc etc... and keep repeating the same stuff over and over, or just create a base DataObject, and have the specific data object inherit it and just .

In swift you can do it by both protocols, (and extensions of them), but after a while they start looking exactly like object inheritance, and nothing like commposition.

Composition was preferred when many other languages didn't support object oriented out the gate (think Ada, Lua, etc), and tooling (IDEs) were primitive, but almost all modern languages do support it, and the tooling in insanely great.

Composition is great when you have behaviour that can be widely different, depending on runtime conditions. But, when you keep repeating yourself over and over by adopting the same protocols, perhaps you need some inheritance.

The one negative of inheretance is that when you change some behaviour of a parent class, you need to do more refactoring as there could be other classes that depend on it. But, again, with today's IDEs and tooling, that is a lot easier.

TLDR: Composition was preferred in a world where the languages didn't suport propper object inheretance out of the gate, and tooling and IDEs were still rudemmentary.
