Yea that's the thing right, the battery is so very much of the weight that optimizing the other parts are "meh" at this point. What is cool is that the 600Wh/kg solid state batteries seems like they are really finally here soon :) i.e removing 200-300kg from a car in one go will be a game changer.

I got the Samsung 25 Edge and did move from a the regular sized phone to "plus" without the constraints and weight that usually follows. I can reach the screen edges that I can't on the same size plus version. Added bonus that i don't get a strain in my pinky from the weight and its still very pocketable. So I'm sold on thinner phones except the wobble from hell when its laying on the table.
Re:Tesla offers mammoth $1T pay package to Musk, sets lofty targets

.. ever heard of BYD? BMW just released the first car on their new platform that is better then Teslas in pretty much every way .. Musk has ruined Tesla with bets on wrong cars i.e Cybertruck instead of pushing price and volume.

How about the myriad of other companies that produce Robots? Like Figure and a large number of Chinese outlets? Tesla is not the winner in electric cars why would they be better at robots. My guess is low cost robots from China will be everywhere..

This is the best thread response I've seen in a while, made me chuckle because i can't understand how people say they vibe code stuff and it works (My experience is not that) and i just feel out of the loop reading all other HN posts and comments about how good it is.
Re:What makes Claude Code so damn good
on Sunday August 24, 2025 @08:28AM (#45003748)
Pretty much every time Claude code is stuck or more or less just coding in circles i use Gemini PRO to analyze the code/data and feed the response into Claude to solve it. I also have much more success with Gemini when creating big sql transforming scripts or similar. Both are quite bad on bigger tasks, they get you 60% and then i spend days and days to trying to get to 100% .. its such a time sink when i select the wrong task for the llm.

Did some bigger admin tool to do search and matching datapoints etc and decided to only use claude code. First version was wow awesome this saved me so much time .. now 2 weeks later putting back code that was deleted several times, removing 3 copy's of the same code, way to complicated sqls, verbose code and looking how its mixing htmx with some wird own JavaScript.
It really looks as a junior developer solutions, so I'm done using it for more then boiler plate things..
I will come back in 3-6 months and hope its better to understand its own limitations.
I'm guessing it would be less then a week for me to write it on my own.
The biggest issue is that I've now seen the shit it creates so I have zero trust in the code I now have from a security and stability standpoint. I know many have better experiences then mine.

When we want to sell fighter jets and Karl Gustav rockets we send the King of Sweden to pander the deal. There have been some debacle over a few suitcases with bribes as well but hey that's probably a good paying job.

Yes and if you work with a plarform that has been arround for long time like .net you will most definitely get a mix of really outdated deprecated code mixed with the latest features.

It's really not a bull case for crypto that the strategic reserve is just a holder of confiscated illegal coins. Ie it's not a big push to pump the price and demand that many was hoping for. Bitcoin is still flat on the news ..

If it's a true story from inside the organization then it's what I would expect from a large organization that got blind-sided by a competitor. Seen it several times before. The rapid advances in models coming out of China is not going to stop, seems like development of models around video is especially moving fast. I'm guessing the moat in the future will be the brand/device, when you have a chat/functions as part of the device it will be hard for anyone else to compete even if the models are slightly better. i.e Google search all over again. Personally i don't think the value from todays LLM are near the sunk cost, hoping that will change.

Well Tesla is not valued as a automaker so the number of cars they produce have never been tied to the stock price.
BYD will sell 2,2x more cars in 2024 and is growing, its valued at less then 10% of Tesla thats is stagnant as a car company.

I made my first $5 of the internet in 1994, people mailed a $5 bill to get access to my warez site (still have the bill). Since then Iv'e lived of services I built for the internet .. pretty much my entire life. The first 1k was ads on early similar pages. Been a manager on and off as well but building stuff is what i love.
