Your point would stand better without the insincere analogy.

yep, x/twitter is great (relative basis). people will confirmation bias their way to whatever matches their priors though. i spent a day or two marking things as "not interested" and blocking people -- my feed is great: 99% tech niches, 0% politics.

i find reddit to be particularly bad; a true cesspool of negativity. Seems to be mostly just bots and incels looking for someone to blame and/or somewhere to direct their unhappiness towards.

Most legacy manufacturers were/are still trying to figure out how to produce EVs to compete. Looking at this month's KBB report for EV-first brands:

YTD Sales

- Lucid: 23.4%

- Tesla: -4.3%

- Rivian: -13.2%

Lucid is the big surprise there to me (though only ~8K sold).

This is a dumb headline. They probably got a special use permit, as the article suggests in an easy-to-miss paragraph.

DJI has been in this game a long time. They're already on thin ice with US regulators. These places are instantly recognizable and they're the preeminent commercial drone company. There's 0 chance that they did this illegally.

It's preference. I think the cameras on the non-pro iphones are so ugly -- especially the diagonal design. The pro cameras look ok to me. Can't not see my old college stove when I look at it, but I don't think it's too bad.

I, too, am biased but prefer Pixel's camera layout. Visually, I like the symmetry of the camera bump on the back of the device. Functionally, the symmetrical bump means the device will not rock on a table and it's a nice place to rest your finger and support/handle the device. A design decision that's unique and has some (small) utility.

Tier list:

Good: Pixel line, any phone with no camera bump Ok: iPhone Pro Bad: Samsung's many iterations, iPhone 2 camera vertical layout Horrible: iPhone 2 camera diagonal layout

Bookmarks, history, generally historical reliability, and (biggest reason for me) password manager.

I rarely have to type/remember passwords anymore on Android or web and it "just works". I know there are password managers out there that ostensibly handle the password-saving thing and are browser-agnostic but when I tried it in the past I had issues on some sites and, when it did work, it felt clunkier.

He mentions at the end of the video that potentially multiple projectors could be used to increase brightness.

Don't know anything about the tech -- just thought it was an interesting idea.

Agree with your thoughts. To add - I've taken my Model Y on many roadtrips and have been to many superchargers. A solid number _are_ at restaurants/shops/etc. Some aren't -- but there are so many chargers that usually you can alter the planned route to include a longer charge wherever you want.

Not only will batteries get bigger, but chargers will get faster. Most of my stops now are 10-15min so often there's not really a need for any side-questing. Tesla recently added a supercharger-specific leaderboard for their in-car Mario Kart clone, which is super cool. I think we'll see some growth there for that kind of thing, but the market is obviously much lower than gas stations/etc

FSD is getting so good so fast. The difference between 1 year ago and now is night and day. It's a godsend for road trips and it amazes me with each passing month's improvements.

It's not perfect and people shouldn't expect that. But I don't understand how anyone experiences FSD and isn't amazed. It's not unsafe -- if anything my interventions are because it's being _too_ safe/timind.

Weather forecasting isn't perfect. But it's pretty good! And it's getting better! Just because weather forecasting isn't perfect doesn't mean I won't use it and it doesn't mean we should stop improving it.

That doesn't seem like very much

I've never understood this bundling. I listen to a lot of podcasts and a lot of music. I always know what I want to listen to. I don't need or want podcasts cluttering up my music app when I'm trying to play or discover music. I don't need or want music cluttering up my podcasts when I am trying work through my infinitely long podcast queue. It's never the case that I'm looking for _either_ a podcast or music to fill the silence.

Different use cases. Different audio mediums. Different apps.

I wonder if being a parent is a factor as well? A quick Google search said that the avg age of a 1st-time parent in 1970 was 21 and in 2023 in the US it is 29.6. Stress and less time for taking car of yourself especially as you start developing adulthood habits/tendencies ?

Also: I think social media has played a roll in this. A comparison with all of your friends, acquaintances, extended family, etc is all just a scroll away. Everyone's social circles are less intimate and far larger, both of which lead to you not wanting to be compared negatively (ie close, intimate circle -> who cares what you look like)

It can be and some people treat it like that. But it can also be a tool used to identify trends and trend changes. The chart takes into account everything: financials, narrative, public opinion, future earning potential, etc. All of these inputs are probabilistically weighed against each other in real time. Keep the TA simple and it's an extremely useful tool. Anyone who dismisses TA entirely is leaving money on the table.
