I used to run into this and I use Siri enough to control HomeKit that I give things really mundane names ("Upstairs Bathroom Vanity", "Guest Bedroom Front Shades") to ensure that we have no miscommunication between me and Siri.

If you name your Hue light "House Music" and you're confused when you ask to "turn on house music", you've played yourself. I am interested to see if such a light was in the LLM context window or there were memories recorded of past bad encounters if an LLM would predict better...


I mean yeah or they include a 5G modem because the ads are so lucrative. But then we can start discussing how to cut the red wire to disarm your spy rectangle.


That one I’m starting to lean on getting closer to happening because we now have 5G RedCap out there for the ‘cheaper’ moderate-speed IoT data market.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see modems and eSIMs and embedded PCB antennas some day down the line.


Imagine if we could put this kind of innovation to work to solve actual problems and not find ways to bypass people attempting to not have capitalism screaming at them 24/7 to buy things.


Someone should start a blog where it's all clickbait titles and the articles are all once sentence with the obvious resolution to the bait.


My 2021 S I bought used has been rather as expected in terms of issues... which is to say I have a similar experience to you, somewhat due to the prior owner leaving a litany of subtle issues for me to find and get serviced and also due to the S-ness. It's low volume, so I get it, but I think most of the cheapness is not safety related (except that all PS4S on 21" configurations should be fired into the sun they are such utter crap in terms of longevity and handling feel).


Do regular service intervals influence this? Would Tesla improve the safety of their cars (by this metric) by giving a regular service for safety items in tandem with the safety inspection interval?

Damage done by the driver is one thing (AFAIU, Tesla Service pricing is pretty damn competitive for repairs), but warranty work like light alignment and function, premature suspension wear (big on Teslas), and brake maintenance probably don't make a difference to Tesla if they are done before the safety inspection or after in terms of cost, but is rather important in terms of reputation...


Damn competitive? In Europe? Dad's friend is a mechanic and the quotes he's heard of for Tesla repairs are all but preposterous. He's a little biased since he works for a competitor, but also does repairs on the side and Tesla parts alone can be 2/3x other brands. Data size of one, but still…


> Do regular service intervals influence this?

Yes but generally in Germany dealer does TUV for you (on newish cars) where they obviously fix issues before actual TUV officer appears and TUV officer are likely to turn blind eye to many issues since they've been going to same dealer for 20 years.

With Tesla first you take to TUV yourself and then go to Tesla to fix them under warranty.

Saying that clearly Tesla's have certain issues and at least we can see them in public. Very disappointing TUV didn't release breakdown of exact problems, by age, region, mileage, etc.


I mean this is like comment and comment reply number three of the same pattern: "I have Tesla Model 3|Y and it's doing well" --> "sample size of 1 mreh".

Reviews tend to skew negative. Where are all the angry Tesla owners here? (Seriously. I want to hear from angry HN readers about bad 3|Y ownership experience.)

I have a Y and an S (Palladium) and the Y is solid (only service for usual EV wear items) but the S has been... a "luxury" vehicle let's say that. I'd imagine some of the issues it had in its history wouldn't pass German TUV, but I got the things I noticed fixed under warranty.

I'm really curious how the newer vehicles do. It's a bit of a running joke "the new ones will be better!" but I really do see the improvement in my 2023 Y versus the 2020 3 I had. The S falls somewhere in between in a way that makes sense given its price point and year.


A sample size of 3 happy users, even with review bias, is still way too small to refute a supposed defect rate of 17%.

And I bet that comments on HN are going to be less affected by negative review bias than actual reviews.


It seems like that plus some build output caching?


WDYM this seems very familiar. At commit deadbeef I don't need to materialize the full tree to build some subcomponent of the monorepo. Did I miss something?

And as for pricing... are there really that many people working on O(billion) lines of code that can't afford $TalkToUs? I'd reckon that Linux is the biggest source of hobbyist commits and that checks out on my laptop OK (though I'll admit I don't really do much beyond ./configure && make there...)


Oh yea, this is "srcfs the idea" but not "srcfs the project".

I.e. this isn't something battel tested for hundreds of thousands of developers 24/7 over the last years. But a simple commercial product sold by people that liked what they used.

Well, since android is their flagship example, anyone that wants to build custom android releases for some reason. With the way things are, you don't need billions of code of your own code to maybe benefit from tools that handle billions of lines of code.


Power buttons are for power users. lol

fsd is still l2 btw...
