Even a few short years ago the Model S Plaids were still getting derided for their horrible fit and finish. That's like, a decade into production.

These cars are very long in the tooth so I suspect that the Fremont line has been a shitshow the entire time.

Serious question because I don’t know about this sort of thing:

Apple’s investment in building its own in-house “Apple Silicon” is large. Can anyone definitely prove they haven’t been working on the sort of AI GPU stuff that NVidia has been?

about 15 years ago I started an aggregator to accumulate/sort/filter the best instruction of various topics, kinda like Reddit for learning. This is such a perfect example of the kind of thing I hoped would filter to the top. Thinking about trying to redo it. Is there a use for this sort of thing in today's world?

an app to communicate with my gardener.

His English is okay but we've had miscommunications. We can itemize tasks, request quotes, delineate with photos, and do basic scheduling+billing.

I was a contractor at a FAANG for a few years, and they handed me a job. In the few weeks of transition between the two (some paperwork, etc.) a job posting and req ID was created and posted on their jobs site. I freaked out for a bit, but everything worked out so I can only presume (in California) that was a requirement.

What amazed me was it said (maybe on LinkedIN?) how many poor souls actually took the time to apply to the position. It was in the hundreds. I can't help but feel bad knowing they never had a chance.

Most of them have a rigid wing and can fly and land in full transition flight.

I’m sure they’re trying to distance themselves from helicopters as much as possible since they’re loud, expensive etc too

That’s true; and I think even more recently they were in talks with Kia, who publicly let the cat out of the bag

I don’t hate the Apple Watch, but I was pretty seriously disappointed at how it looked when it came out. Great! They made a watch look like my phone, cool
