Yes I contributed my own time, how entitled of me. This was highly requested by the community, that's why I took it on: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/1467...

It's important to remember this is just the commercial arm. The OSS side has as many maintainers as Adam allows and the community is quite active with PRs and volunteer work. Tailwind the project will be ok. Someone will fork it if stales thanks to its popularity. That being said, many more companies should sponsor considering its ubiquitous adoption.

What? That's not what this does at all. Educate yourself. It has nothing to do with the commercial side of his business, it's just the already public docs in cleaned up pure text form.

Yes, pulled in on a single docs site. A library with zero dependencies and full CommonMark compliance so I can manipulate the markdown as AST easily and then recompile back to markdown. What a horrible thing to do. So sorry I wasted my own personal time on this. People like you drive others out of open source.

Nope. Started with regex but it was brittle so I used my library which parses to AST which is easier to work with. It's a docs site, so I'm getting one more download woohoo.

Well where else am I supposed to post it? That's where my video presence is and everyone seems keen to jump down my throat without comprehending the full chronology of Adam literally making the tailwind docs private in a tantrum before unlocking them again this morning.

They need to skill up on being public and creating useful tech demos. That’s why OpenAI is currently winning, they know how to foster engagement and interest. Who had heard of Claude? Almost no one outside of our industry and probably within as well.

I see the top asymptotic part of the curve being an Iain Banksian “Culture”. Very very far off, but at a certain point, maybe Kardashev II-III, there will be a gradual plateau.

There are so many nuanced things that go into making a great EV: advanced software with OTA updates, highly efficient electric motors, material science breakthroughs in battery tech and other components. Toyota can get there in time but there’s so many things to do and they’re facing increasingly rough headwinds the longer they wait to properly electrify.

Let me rephrase, it either ensures their jobs stick around (perhaps doing a different function?) or that they will receive well above industry average severance.
There’s no point in unionizing unless that leverage equals some sort of compensation down the road.

Yes and ultimately they will reduce the headcount to a fraction of current size since autolabeling will work in most scenarios. To my knowledge this has already happened… labelers now are tagging new scenarios for the autolabeler to grok for future learning passes.

They’re labelers, which are being quickly replaced by automation. This is a bid to secure their jobs long-term.

Looked it up and hydrogen is actually much safer than gas when it comes to ignition and probability of explosion during accidents. If liquid fuel vehicles must remain in service, it seems like a worthwhile trade.
Re:Crucial Computer Program for Particle Physics at Risk of Obsolescence
on Thursday December 01, 2022 @08:24PM (#33825566)
Obsolescence means something else made it obsolete, meaning another program passed it technologically or provided superior user experience so usage naturally dropped off.
It’s at risk of neglect/disrepair/falling behind. If it’s important enough and something breaks hard you better believe someone will pick it up, but not until it’s a forced issue.

Not sure what you mean, EAP is highway-only and using it off the highway is off-label and not safe. I have tried FSD beta and it was not great at the time (10.12.2)
The longest stretch I’ve used EAP for is >3 hrs going from MA to NY. Highways were totally smooth, did its own lane changes, etc.
It can be slightly jerky at times when the traffic keeps speeding up and slowing down sharply, that’s my only real complaint.
