Hot take: Tesla suffers from Silicon Valley Stock Syndrome. Because their primary customer is investors, not people buying cars, they must constantly be on the cusp of innovation - releasing their products risks them being bad. But something that's around the corner can have infinite potential.

Online discourse the last few days reminds me of another grook: Den, som kun tager spøg for spøg og alvor kun alvorligt, han og hun har faktisk fattet begge dele dårligt. (Those who take jokes just in jest, and serious things just sincerely, he and her have actually understood both poorly.)

I work with a cat shelter and I always have to stop myself from writing weird shit in the papers. They use the same paperwork as for dogs, so under breed, I usually write "cat," "dumpster" or "?"

I can't believe I have to say this, but if you send me a cold canvas email, don't turn on read receipts, *definitely* don't label it as high importance - and super duper definitely don't do both. Straight to sales jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Collect only shame.

Having a high IQ doesn't mean you necessarily understand anything you haven't seen before. You might be able to pick it up faster, but, I mean, Leonardo Da Vinci was significantly smarter than I am but I don't think he'd be able to file 2024 tax returns. There isn't really a shortcut to expertise.

They compensate for a lack of glass, but more importantly, the Gordian knot is size. Taking in enough light with a sensor that's so much smaller than a 35mm full frame requires what can only be described as witchcraft.

A Reddit post, reading:
"I remember I got into an argument on Reddit a while ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. 

I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on /r/piss. At that moment I realised i had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole."

@iwriteok.bsky.social just listening to your episodes on Lawrence of Arabia right now, and have a fun thing to share. He is still very very much revered among the Beduins - my partner and I visited Wadi Rum last year, and saw this small, carved shrine to him. They love the guy.

Google also attaches things on top of AOSP. Every OEM does - mostly because honestly using "bare" AOSP is kind of ass. Hell, AOSP doesn't even have Play Services iirc.

We're seeing much longer update commitments now than just a few years ago, partially because people keep their phones for longer. The exact reason for this is one I can only really guess at but regardless we're seeing mid-range phones in 2024 with update commitments that would beat a 2019 flagship.

The software update policy problem is a really interesting one, and it's a thing with a lot of moving parts. This also isn't entirely decided by OEMs, the SoC manufacturer also supplied some of the puzzle. There's a reason a lot of phones from 2020-2022ish with QC SoCs have 3+4.

I think the both humbling and frustrating lesson of microblogging is that you're not necessarily super interesting, but that's okay. You can just read, listen, and occasionally chime in. We can't all be "thought leaders" (an awful term) but that's not a bad thing!

It's naturalism bias. Anything natural is good and anything man-made is bad. This is, of course, both reductionist and generally super duper wrong but a surprisingly large amount of people practice it to some extent.

It sounds like they're speaking to the authors and letting them choose, plus probably paying it for them. That's arguably the most decent way to go about it.

As someone who worked in the automotive space when Tesla first started getting serious traction with normies (right before Model 3), it was so agitating. You had people on one side spouting the most insane shit because they were against EVs, and and a bunch of Tesla fans also just being unhinged.

I'm finally getting around to watching Peep Show, and I'm seeing so many memes in their natural habitat. It's like visiting the savannah after seeing animals in a zoo. It's majestic to see them in the wild.
Jeremy and Mark from Peep Show, with Jeremy going "you promised not to tell," and Mark responding "Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia, Jeremy. Welcome to the real world."
