RIP to a real one.
Nice to Have: - Higher refresh rate screen!
Just because we're small doesn't mean we need to have worse feature sets!
I mean, it literally can take your heart going 400 beats a minute, stop it, and instantly start going 72. It feels fucking crazy but I never have time to feel "doom" specifically.
I do know that the paramedics love administering it though haha.
I'd love to see the Pebble hardware running Android Wear (maybe fixed by Fitbit to last longer) with Pixel branding. I'm hopeful.
If you're getting angry that you (might) upset someone else you need to take a hard look in the mirror. Not only because you're immediately acting like their feelings don't matter because you didn't MEAN to offend them. But also, why don't you have a hobby? If you do, apologize to the person you upset and move on and reclaim that time to do something productive.
(I have this same argument with all my DEVELOPER friends who are still running Win7. Ugh)
> "with AI enrichment of contacts" What does this mean? Sounds vague and scary.
and
> I dislike the "Y" over "Why" in "Y not trust us". Is this supposed to be cutesy text speak or something?
I'm a former CTO of a startup and Senior Engineer at another now. I don't want to work with anything with spelling errors and I have ABOUT 30 seconds to investigate new SASS services and since I don't immediately understand what you offer, I'd just move on.
It's all fixable though, Im sure.
CURRENT Superchargers charge up to 600 miles per hour. COMPLETELY dead to COMPLETELY full is like 30 minutes. But most stops to charge will only last long enough for you to pee and grab a red bull
NEW superchargers charge up to 1000 miles per hour. Do the math. You're going to have to start jogging if you want your redbull before idle fee's kick in.
Combine that with autopilot. I took a trip in a gas rental car recently and HATED it. Tesla for roadtrips for sure.
Consider getting a Dell XPS, a System76 or a Google Pixelbook for your development unless you're specifically making iOS or macOS stuff.
Yes you do. Because some people understand UI design and know how to program in javascript/html/css and have a need to make a desktop app.
For example, a small budget indie startup has enough to make ONE version of their app to get funding. They can use JS with the same budget and launch on Web, PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android instead of just making a single Windows native app.
There is 100% a place for electron. You can argue that after funding they should convert to native, sure. But if you're reading HN you are definitely smart enough to know why a lot of us use electron :)
tldr; Smart use of electron is NOT for the end user. It's for the developer.
Remember where that got us?
This stuff is all really cool and fun to work on, but instead maybe we should focus on changing the JS standard for the better since we always end up working in it anyways!
- System76 laptops are generally well reviewed. The Oryx Pro looks nice
- I had a Dell XPS15 and hated everything about it for some reason, but
- I have a Dell XPS13 and I absolutely LOVE it, so that that for what its worth
It seems to me there are 3 layers:
(level 0: Just Adaptive Cruise Control (use radar to adjust speed up to a max). Human still steers.
- 1: Adaptive Cruise Control (use radar to adjust speed up to a max) + Autosteer (camera's watch the lane markers and follow them). This is referred to as "Autopilot"
NOTE: This is where the accidents happen. The car isn't driving towards a barrier, it's following the lane markers and hits an error state. This is also NOT self driving.
- 2: "Nav on Autopilot". This is an additional function you turn on where the car has more intelligent (use this word loosely) capabilities on highways. The car will still do everything on level 1 combined with lane changes (using cameras to detect objects and trajectories differentiating cars from trucks from pedestrians from bikes from motorcycles etc). It will still follow lane lines, but with a lot of additional information (is there an object? am I merging? am I exiting? etc)
- 3: "Full Self Driving". This is an additional package that doesn't exist to the public. Internally I'm sure they're testing the functionality but this is using all of the sensors and algorithms and likely neural networks to decide what to do. A cool point though is that all Tesla's are likely running this code in "shadow mode" where data can be collected and assumptions can be tested without endangering any actual drivers. (see here for some cool data on this: https://electrek.co/2019/03/05/tesla-autopilot-detects-stop-...). "Hey, I think the car, if full self driving SHOULD take action X. *compare to what the driver actually does and log the data" over BILLIONS of miles
So when a Tesla hits the barrier or gets in an accident, we're actually running "#1" and people start freaking out. But when we get to the capabilities of #3 a lot of the "object permanence and continuity" stuff starts to come into play.
Full Disclosure: - I drive a Model 3 every day on Autopilot 75% of the time - I only 75% think self driving is capability under the current Tesla software suite but I bought the package anyways.
