  • It would be interesting to break down exactly why they have higher rates. It could be:

    • over reliance on it’s automated systems (but FSD is only enabled on a small percentage of cars)
    • safety design flaws (but it has a high safety rating by third parties)
    • Unconventional UX decisions (steering yoke, giant displays with no physical buttons etc)
    • novel behaviour of electric vehicles such as the fact users less familar with it’s acceleration behaviour and lack of gear shifts, the increased weight or one pedal driving. (but why aren’t other EVs up there)
    • The politicized nature of Tesla attracting more risky customers. (but is that really worse than the type of people buying ferraris and other performance cars?)

    The article points to the first point, and that certainly seems plausible, but they don’t really provide any evidence to support that.



  • Does it?

    user A uses their full bandwidth from 2am-4am when the network is empty then watches a 720p video at 5pm (or whenever the networks peak is).

    User B watches an 8k video at 5pm and nothing at any other time.

    UserB clearly contributes to congestion on the network more than user A despite user A using more data. Furthermore throttling user A does less to resolve the congestion than throttling user B.

    IMO If the network needs to throttle then the people the most data at that instant in time need to be throttled and the network needs to start upgrading its infrastructure or amending its marketing materials.

    Really the current internet model is a little weird, it should be pay to use with on and off peak hours the same as other utilities, and throttling should be seen as a major failure that needs immediate attention.


  • Outer wilds felt really good to play, optimistic nihilism and a happy lonliness. One moment that really stood out to me was when I followed a certain object out of the solar system, spent pretty much 20minutes drifting in space listening to the other astronauts play together planets apart and watching the stars

    spoiler

    Watching the stars slowly blink out and realizing that I won’t be able to save the sun, that it’s the whole universe going away. Givining in to the inevitability of it all ending and just watching everything end.

    It’s one of the most peaceful times I’ve had with a game, and playing it in the middle of covid I cried happy tears. Go in as blind as you can.


  • It’s pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.

    We don’t know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us…

    If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.







  • In 2009 amd, facing insolvency, sold its entire mobile graphics department to qualcomm for a measly 65million that technology went on to become snapdragon. It’s one of the only things that kept amd going at the time, but qualcomm got insanely rich off it.

    It’s rather poetic to now see intel face a similar decision. According to the article intel is also planning to spin it’s chip manufacturing out to its own company which is also what amd did with global founderies around the same time as selling to qualcomm.
