Very good analogy I'd say.

Also similar to what Temu, Wish, and other similar sites offer. Picture and specs might look good but it will likely be disappointing in the end.


Most of that is clearly going to his own charities for tax benefits.

The simple reason is that the product is not good. Nothing to do with ideologies.


I think the product is good. But, I won't buy one until Elon either admits to and apologizes for all of his past bad acts, or has no control over the company anymore. Unfortunately, I think neither is likely.


Is this the same product that killed people because the electric doors wouldn't open after a crash and they perished alive in a fire?


Other than the nonintuitive emergency door opening procedure, it’s a good product. ;-)

(Apparently they’re looking at addressing that particular issue: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/573575/tesla-is-looking-to-...)


I disagree. It has everything to do with ideologies. He seig heiled on TV twice; that's not something they will ignore.


It's both for many people.


Wayland+sway switch from x11+i3 is so simple and works so well. Only minor annoying thing not working for me are right-click context menus on some applets like Blueman and Steam.


One’s minor annoyance is someone else’s dealbreaker.


With a tiny tiny caveat of wanting to run Nvidia drivers instead of nouveau.


Nvidia's official drivers have supported Wayland quite well since the 550-series. If you haven't tried it in a few years, now is a great time to give it a spin.


LLM generated Javascript to process payments sounds insane. No need to create stuff just because it's possible.


All vertical videos I've uploaded have automatically turned into shorts and there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle this.


Add black bars manually or make them longer than 3 minutes.


Is it a real app anyway on that platform? I doubt it.

Last time I checked, the LG webOS app was just running tv.youtube.com which only expects a TV-specific user agent.


I've been using YouTube.com/tv with a Samsung agent for years. Although I did have to recently switch from abp to ubo because abp stopped playing videos for me.


Imagining that the software will be shipped with hardware, that has no internet access and therefore cumbersome firmware upgrades, might be helpful. Avoiding shipping critical bugs is actually critical so bricking the hardware is undesirable.

Example: (aftermarket) car headunit.


This type of testing is incredibly expensive and you'll have a startup run circles around you, assuming a startup could even exist when the YC investment needs to stretch 4x as far for the same product.

The real solution is to have individual software developers be licensed and personally liable for the damage their work does. Write horrible bugs? A licencing board will review your work. Make a calculated risk that damages someone? Company sued by the user, developer sued by the company. This correctly balances incentives between software quality and productivity, and has the added benefit of culling low quality workers.


The kind of relates to proper Engineering titles, unfortunely many countries don't have a legal system in place for those that decide to call themselves engineers without going through the exam, and related Order of the Engineer.


I don't think titles are for anything besides establishing blame. If a company hires someone in a local where the engineer can't be held responsible, the executives and major investors should be held liable. That way things will naturally sort themselves out. Need something unimportant done? Offshore. Have some critical system? Hire someone that can take responsibility.


As we say back home, responsability should never die alone.


The easiest way to get away with murder is to split the blame such that no individual can be pointed to.


You don't need formal licensing for this to work, passthrough liability would do plenty. The real sign of success is whether an insurance industry sprouts up to protect software engineers, just like doctors.


Do you have some examples for the alternative case? What sort of racist quotes from them exist?


Well, I was just listing those as possible tests which could better illustrate the limitations of the model.

I don't have the hardware to run models locally so I can't test these personally. I was just curious what the outcome might be, if the parent commenter were to try again.


Works surprisingly well for me, arch + sway.. Not a single problem.

Web version has actually been working well overall for the past few months. No reason to install any desktop apps from Micr*soft.
