Couple things to defend the Y. You can adjust the volume from the steering wheel, I do that all the time. And when it comes to the glovebox, it has very little storage, most storage is in the center console, so the glovebox is good to use to store important stuff that you rarely need so the extra security to now have an easy entry to it is fine.

And coming from a Toyota Avensis, the suspension in the Y is way way better.

Raspberry Pi 5 3 years ago

Mine's reading temperature, humidity and pressure from sensors and uploading it to a VPS. My second one that is, my first one hasn't done more than collect dust.

Damn so many negative comments here. I think it looks decent, and will probably try it out, paying $10/user/month for something as simple as an issue tracker is annoying. I get that bigger organizations have more feature requirements, but for many companies, we just need a simple issue tracker that's not jira (very biased against jira from my experience, but it's probably gotten better)

Have you tried co-pilot? I don't want to code without it. Saves so much time and produces good results, instead of searching for answers online, which isn't easy as you get into ad filled sites, find shitty Stack Overflow answers and webpages with outdated docs and examples.

Two examples from this week. Formatting dates in javascript, I had a datetime string and I wanted to show it as YY-MM-DD HH:MM for our internal tool. I don't know by heart exactly what to in this case although it's far from rocket science, so now I could write a comment what I wanted done and copilot coded it for me.

Same when I wanted a request to become a file download for the user, not something I've done many times before, and I could kinda reason that it probably needs the header to be set to something. And googling for this didn't give good results, yo need the right language, framework etc. With copilot I just wrote the comment // return file as download, and co-pilot wrote the code to set the header and send the bytes. Amazing!

What GUI are you referring to? Midjourney did all images on the page, ChatGPT did all the text (except stuff like the copyright label I addeed to make it look more 'real'). But I did the webpage, that's manual vue & tailwindcss work on my part.

Hey guys! This weekend I wanted to experiment if I could create a webpage that looks like it's for an actual game, but it's all be faked with MidJourney & ChatGPT. I think the end result turned out quite well!

I had ChatGPT come up with the name, some unique selling points and have it fill in all text (with human editing, removing unnecessary text, to make it all fit well). All images are made with MidJourney. However, the logo is done manually in Photoshop, couldn't get any decent results from MidJourney.

This took around 5 hours to make, most time spent on laying out the website to look decent on desktop and mobile.

Hope you enjoy it!

Tesla AI Day 2022 4 years ago

Yeah for sure, the autopilot claims and did not come to fruition, for sure, lots of misses when Elon thinks something happens and when it actually will. I don't think personally he's intentionally deceiving the masses.

Not really sure about the hyperloop / train thingy, need to read up more on it.

And BD's robot is not a commercial reality, how many have sold (if we're talking about Atlas and not the dog)? The Cybertruck will start production next year, sure it's behind initial time-schedule but it will be produced and sold in high numbers.

There can't be any objective discussions about Elon any more =) John Carmack finds Elon to be smart and really knowledgeable (listen to the latest podcast from Lex Fridman). And you would think HN trusts the words from Carmack? But most think Carmack, who knows Elon personally is wrong, and their opinion based on some random internet articles, is right.

I look at that and I want a self driving car by Tesla. Did you see the rest of the presentation about their self-driving tech?

This was amazing by this with the short time it's been in development, and the vision for this project is beyond anything that has been done with humanoid robots. Sure they might fail, but it's an exciting venture to follow.

What the hell are you talking about? You can't compare any EU country to Russia. Putin is an evil dictator who's opposition gets murdered or thrown in jail. And what's with the neo-nazi talk, don't think many of us EU citizens encounter neo nazies in our daily lives. But Russia has gone full nazi now invading other countries, raping and murdering civilians while wearing their new Z symbol.

Because of NATO and Nazis? Really? You have 8 million fleeing the country because of Russia's invasion, cities turned into ruins, civilians murdered, raped and tortured.

If Russia was such a good guy in this scenario they would allow for freedom of press and speech. And they'd provide evidence everyone could back up.

No country is perfect, also the document you shared was post Russia's first aggressions to annex Crimea, and you blame Ukraine? I don't doubt Ukrainians have done war crimes as well, it happens when you're at war. But it wouldn't have happened if Russia just let Ukraine alone to develop, it was doing pretty good compared to Russia before all of this.

Totally agree. I like his style a lot, it's a normal conversation, he is who he is and it's honest. But every time he speaks someone has to point out how he's not the greatest presenter, even if he presents the most amazing new things.

Are they marginally profitable now? Maybe, but that's nothing to brag about at a market cap of over half a trillion dollars.

Decent to do more than a billion in profit and they are a growth company with Giga Austin and Giga Berlin opening soon. When amazon had a similar market cap they did around 800m in profit. It's ofcourse easy in retrospect to say that amazon was a winner, but of course it was an unknown to investors and everyone placed their bets back then.

And my point with subsidies is that they affect the outcome, as they exist they have an effect on the business, and should be valued as such.

Good idea with autonomous farming equipment. Although doesn't really sound like it's aligned with Tesla's mission, so maybe some other company could license Tesla's tech and do it. Because it sounds like it should be done!

Tesla has had their fair share of hard times. And some mornings have been horrible after having read some Elon tweets xD

When it comes to raising cash, things change, I remember once cash raise happened immediately after their value had increased much in a short interval, so it made sense to raise. And looking back, with the company being worth 666B now, they've done a lot of right calls, but of course some wrong ones as well.

And it's a myth that Tesla doesn't do any profit. For example last quarter Tesla got around 354M in regulatory credits (this is what the anti-tesla crowd likes to point out) but the net income was 1.14B. And besides the regulatory credit should be counted, not like the oil industry hasn't had it's insane amount of subsides over the years.

Furthermore, if you have been following closely, you would have seen the huge and humiliating mess ups he had with Tesla where he literally flushed billions and billions of dollars down the toilet.

I have been following it closely since 2012. Not sure where he flushed the money down the toilet? And with that he still grew the company well. Without Elon Tesla would never have become the 666B company that is today.

Since Musk, another 4 private companies have reached orbit, or will reach orbit this year (Firefly, Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, and Virgin Orbit)

Rocket Lab was founded in 2006 and reached orbit in 2018 (and failed in 2020)?

Virgin Orbit's vehicle LauncherOne was started in 2007 (under Virgin Galactic) began operations in 2021.

And we'll see how Firefly and Relativity Space succeeds with their launches.

I don't see many wanting a tentacle arm, that's a waste of resources.

I'm also heavily invested in Tesla, have been for years I like this alot, it's an exciting future to work towards. Will it take longer than elon says? Probably. But as long as you're moving towards the goal, it's great, one day you'll be there.

I also think building a humanoid robot can interest a lot of talent, and while building this robot they'll learn a lot that can be applied elsewhere.

There's way too much negativity here and way too few exciting product announcements these days, so I loved every part of this.

I just can't stand Lua as a language to code games in. C# is so much nicer when writing complicated algorithms. For a flappy bird game it's probably fine.

And if I absolutely had to use Lua, wouldn't Defold be a better alternative. At Least for mobile.

Look great. I really want an alternative to unity to do ECS 2d mobile games. It's not super complicated tech (although takes time to implement for sure in a game engine), but at the moment there's not really any alternatives, so any under development is awesome!
