Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Hot 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. 130 3
Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Online 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.

Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 30/04/2025I 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.

Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Having 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.

Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 17/11/2024We'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. 000 0
Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 17/11/2024The 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. 110 1
Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I think the both humbling and frustrating lesson of microblogging is that you're not necessarily super interesting, but that's okay.

Aske Kjaer @askekjaer.bsky.social · 15/11/2024It'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. 010 1
