Still rare, only trolls. If someone is judgy or confrontational I’ll move on. It’s only if they’re trying to start a fight, trying to create an ongoing argument that I’ll block them.

Hosting email just saved the day! My ex got locked out of her email account and password resets were blocked. However she still had one “home” forwarding email configured as a recovery address, so we were able to redirect it somewhere accessible and unlock her email account!

Ok. Here those terms have common usages which made your claims sound misleading. I’m sure that’s different in different places

Even from the headline, your article states they were profitable in 2020. Yes, back then a lot of it was due carbon credits. So they priced things according to the market they were in?

Are you complaining that GM for example was only profitable because of those credits? They (and other legacy manufacturers) decided it was more profitable for them to buy carbon credits from Tesla than to develop their own EVs. You could argue they were only profitable because they could buy pollution rights from Tesla.

But of course that’s old news. Profits ebb and flow but Tesla has more recently been profitable even not counting those credits.

Regardless the market has changed and those pollution credits no longer exist. It’s a different world for both EV manufacturers and legacy manufacturers, so we’ll see what happens. Pollution is free again, although of course the picture is complicated by trade wars, fascism and musk s reputation, as well as the meteoric rise of competitors in China

Yeah there have definitely been times when I’m driving quite a bit faster than I think in my model y. But the scary part is my teen. The very first time I let him drive my Tesla, he drove faster than I ever have

But acceleration can be worse. The first time I found a “safe” stretch of road to try, the acceleration pushed me back in my seat so far that I no longer had a solid grip on the steering wheel. I really scared myself there, and among other things keep the seat tilted farther forward now

Looking into the Denmark thing I see

• https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/one-in-four-tesla-model-3s-fail-safety-inspections-in-denmark/ar-AA1Awx3J

So this was once, for model 3, because it’s old enough. This is absolutely the same as the very well publicized quality issues from back when model 3 manufacturing was ramping up. They certainly had problems and took 2-3 years to straighten it out.

Since then they’ve had much better quality and the model y had very few problems from the start, so I’d expect a significant change in results as these newer cars get old enough to undergo those tests.

My take is these tests correlate with quality problems from four years in the past and Tesla certainly had those

Still, not trying to be pedantic here but terminology is important. Seems like you’re talking about quality or reliability.

Generally

• safety ratings are government or independent tests on newly manufactured cars. The goal is to detect design issues. Tesla has always had very high safety ratings
• quality or reliability is how these cars hold up over time. The goal is to detect manufacturing issues and places where too many compromises are made. There are many places attempting to do this and one source may be annual safety inspections. Teslas used to have some very well publicized quality issues that would show up here. Early model s and model X were effectively hand made, and they took a couple years to stabilize model 3 manufacturing. As far as I know they are similar to other manufacturers now (except of course the Cybertruck), but I’d certainly expect historical data to not be as forgiving.
• accident data is real life results in how they’re used. In this case we have way too many streamers misusing teslas self-driving feature, convincing others it’s more capable than even Tesla claims, that probably contributes. But I believe it’s also the sheer acceleration. It used to be the Mustang that was stereotypically more acceleration than drivers can handle, but we may have that here as well. Every Tesla has outstanding acceleration and of course you’d try it. It will be more than you expect: can you handle it?

Edit to add

• insurance data generally determines repairability. We see that for a variety of reasons teslas are expensive to repair. Some of it’s the design, some the materials, some the plethora of tech, and some is availability of parts, and the lack of third party parts

Might want to take another look at reality

Hah, my lab is mostly a bunch of raspberry pi’s screwed to a wall

I always thought this was an argument for properly racking everything. If it takes more effort, more time to remove, maybe they won’t bother.

My understanding is that for most individuals, theft is mainly

1. Targets of opportunity. Lock your door and make sure nothing expensive is visible
2. Smash and Grab. The goal is to act fast and not care about what you break, so anything harder to smash (without tools) or that causes delay is good.

I do have outside cameras but they’re not as useful as you’d think. Maybe they have some deterrent value but they’re not going to alert anyone fast enough unless they’re already in the house and you’re not going to identify anyone even if you catch a good shot of their face. If the do catch someone, perhaps the video is enough to say, yep

For my use case, I’m continually fiddling with my VM config. That’s my playground, not just the services hosted there. I want home assistant to always be available so it can’t be there.

I suppose I could have a “production “ vm server that I keep stable, separately from my “dev” vm server but that would be more effort. Maybe it’s simply that I don’t have many services I want to treat as production, so the physical hardware is the cheapest and easiest option

Same here. In particular I like small cheap hardware to act as appliances, and have several raspberry pi.

My example is home assistant. Deploying on its own hardware means an officially supported management layer, which makes my life easier. It is actually running containers but i don’t have to deal with that. It also needs to be always available so i use efficient “right sized” hardware and it works regardless whether im futzing with my “lab”

The authors approach to not owning anything digital was to attempt self hosting. But the authors reaction to the amount of work was that he shouldn’t own the “self-hosting”? He does not even realize that he’s back to not owning anything

Yeah, jira is too customizable. I mean I wouldn’t give any of it up, but the one time someone let me have the reins, I mostly simplified. Removed workflows, removed customizations.

There needs to be better ways of defining standard projects and sticking to them. Currently everyone wants their little tweak and you can’t even pick out what’s consistent and what’s not until you run into problems

What’s your goal in using fake info? If it’s general privacy, it’s easy enough to register where your info is private to the registrar

Trail was excellent - my town has a well developed River walk, as does the next town east, but apparently there’s a trail connecting them! Runs right along the River so great scenery. I wasn’t looking for a hike so it’s nice and level, an easy walk.

Funny you ask about the ice cream. All these years raising kids and I refused to let the frustrating times win. Now that they’re older, more independent, successfully raised, I commemorated challenges overcome by ordering “Exhausted Parent” - bourbon and chocolate chip!

Edit: I don’t know how to refer to my kids anymore. They’re not little, but also not yet adult. Maybe I should say “teens”, hope I didn’t mislead. To be more specific: the younger kid graduated high school, has a summer job, and preparing for college in the fall. Huge milestone in parenting!

Close. Sunday was the perfect Fathers Day …

• starting at midnight: VIDEO GAMES WITH THE KIDS!
• sleep in
• breakfast tacos! Extra hot sauce
• long walk with my kids and dog, ~4 miles, explored a new trail
• grabbed takeout from my favorite kebab place, and ate on the town common
• later, grabbed ice cream from a local stand

One of the protesters ….

I’m actually planning to do an evaluation of a n ai code review tool to see what it can do. I’m actually somewhat optimistic that it could do this better than it can code

I really want to sic it on this one junior programmer who doesn’t understand that you can’t just commit ai generated slop and expect it to work. This last code review after over 60 pieces of feedback I gave up on the rest and left it as he needs to understand when ai generated slop needs help

Ai is usually pretty good at unit tests but it was so bad. Randomly started using a different mocking framework, it actually mocked entire classes and somehow thought that was valid to test them. Wasting tests on non-existent constructors no negative tests, tests without verifying anything. Most of all there were so many compile errors, yet he thought that was fine
