Nerd, professional solver of imaginary problems
Games like Baldur’s Gate assume you have at least some DnD experience. I remember playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time long ago and being really glad I played one session of DnD before it.
The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.
This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It’s a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can’t imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.
This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.
If everybody could stop using Twitter, that’d be great.
This is what the company valued itself as being worth. Not what it’s actually worth. So I’m not sure if Elon is trying to over or under value here, but I’m guessing over.
You’ve described a big part of why I hate startup culture. “Let’s build cool thing then sell it to a huge company and get rich.” I’m never doing it again, such a waste of time and energy.
You said you don’t need a battery, do you already have one or are you always using it plugged in? And if you’re always using it plugged in why not a desktop?
Not at critique at all you just piqued my curiosity. I’m excited cause you got a new toy.
Most of that going to get eaten by transaction fees. Is Elon still involved in a transaction processor?
I once wrote some software that replaced almost an entire accounting department. No bonuses were paid, no salaries increased for the few remaining people, it just went into the shareholders pockets. The company was already very profitable before this.
Cars aren’t automation, but you already know that. And despite what Elon says, they still require a driver to be operated (although that will probably change soon and remove 15% of jobs in the process). I’m not saying all advances in technology are bad. But things that will replace entire workforces, like how this will replace ground crews, have a negative affect.
I once ate half a pizza every work day for lunch for over a year. That was probably not great for me. But that job was stressful as hell and little ceasers was across the street.
Remember folks, most jobs are lost due to automation like this. These robots won’t be paying taxes or simulating the economy.
And those are the same people who are running dev-ops, infrastructure management, and acting as CTOs of companies. If you rely on enthusiasts, you don’t wanna piss off the enthusiast community.
This is the wildest take I’ve heard. People don’t trust meta because it’s Facebook, because it’s Zuckerberg. We’ve all seen what they do with companies they acquire (I used to be an Oculus rift owner).We’ve all seen how poorly they handle data, seems like there is a data breach every year.
Hell, when I was an Oculus rift owner I worked inside of Virtual Desktop some days. I’d argue that Meta killed my desire to work in VR.
It’s disappointing to see so many people, not from beehaw, advocate for violence. I think it’s a subject that’s going to attract a lot of toxic people. And we’re seeing some of that here.
Yeah they burned me a few times in the past by acquiring games/studios and breaking their Linux compatibility immediately after getting them. I’ll hold this grudge for decades.
Apple doesn’t ship consumer systems with dedicated GPUs in them and they’re on their own custom silicon now. Developing cross platform games for them must be a major PITA.
Loading Ready Run streams a lot of stuff. And you might like the dessert bus for hope fundraiser happening in November.
