we started a purely-frontend project with nextjs but moved to react-router pretty soon. Sure, it can be convenient (when it works), but you can't really see or understand how or how to control it, and black magic breaking is the least of what you want. Much happier now.


because it _does_ provide a number of benefits (potentially fewer initial round-trips, more dynamic routing control by using UDP instead of TCP, etc), and is a userspace softare implementation compared with a hardware-accelerated option.

QUIC getting hardware acceleration should close this gap, and keep all the benefits. But a kernel (software) implementation is basically necessary before it can be properly hardware-accelerated in future hardware (is my current understanding)


To clarify, the userspace implementation is not a benefit, it's just that you can't have a brand new protocol dropped into a trillion dollars of existing hardware overnight, you have to do userspace first as PoC

It does save 2 round-trips during connection compared to TLS-over-TCP, if Wikipedia's diagram is accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC#Characteristics That is a decent latency win on every single connection, and with 0-RTT you can go further, but 0-RTT is stateful and hard to deploy and I expect it will see very little use.


certainly not free, but with F1TV Access you have access to historical and real time data through the API. There should be decent documentation on it out there, otherwise projects like Multiviewer or this TUI wouldn't be quite realistic.


from what I understand it's because it's a lot more expensive than its alternatives.

Like yes, for a bunch of structures you can neatly automate it (see most rocket production), but the shapes of (current) cars don't easily offer themselves to similar options. Automation is possible but would probably be finicky and require a lot of space and energy (for the heating).

but someone else please jump in if you know better/more.


so basically blaming slow charging of a KIA EV on Tesla for building out the wrong type of charging network? got it


No, correctly blaming Tesla chargers for being low voltage. Here's another example with a Kia EV6:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEJ2KtzMeh8

Telsa's chargers don't work well with 800 volt cars. It would be better if they supported higher voltages like other CCS chargers do.


When Tesla was building out their network, 800V cars were not common. Even now most EVs out there are Teslas or other 400V vehicles. And Tesla is building out 800V chargers soon, and they'll probably move all their vehicles to 800V as well. What more can we expect from them?


We can expect better chargers with higher voltages, longer cables, standard plugs, standard protocol, all EV brand support, and contactless, no app payment.

The V4 is a step in the right direction and is nearly there except for the voltage problem:

Tesla must try harder. Kempower and Alpitronic both build better chargers than Tesla:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR2M5W6saAk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ZWN_-a2j4


Tesla 'must' do nothing. They do what is correct for them. Building 'better' chargers isn't hard. Building 10000s of better chargers is hard. There have been a wealth of alternative charger companies for a while, and having an example that works isn't that hard. Tesla however has to scale and deploy those charges in huge volumes.

And this is specially true if you want to make stations that have more then a low number of chargers. Because the connection to the local grid becomes a huge problem, and this problem is increased is you move to higher voltage.

Tesla moves at the pace of the market, and their own cars. Not at a pace that to enable Hyundai to make as much money as possible without investing themselves.

Hyundai should be grateful Tesla opened their charges at all. Because actual 350kW chargers are incredibly rare and broken incredibly often.


> Tesla 'must' do nothing.

Of course they must. Better EV infrastructure is required.

> Building 'better' chargers isn't hard.

Good. Then Tesla can achieve it. They haven't achieved Alpitronic's or Kempower's level yet but if Tesla works at it they'll get there.

> Because actual 350kW chargers are incredibly rare and broken incredibly often.

There are a lot of them in Europe. 400 kW chargers are being deployed these days.


> Better EV infrastructure is required.

First of all, better infrastructure doesn't just mean faster chargers.

Second, Tesla is a private company that want to make profit. Developing better infrastructure is not their primary goal.

Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know. They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers.

Tesla has the technical capability of building 400kw charges, they build even faster charger for the Semi. But it just doesn't strategically make sense to build those kinds of chargers.

Take make about 3000 DC Fast Chargers per Quarter, they will upgrade those to 350kw/h at some point, and then higher then that eventually. But only if they can continue to build and deploy 3000 or more of them per quarter. The 'how many per Quarter' is actually the import number.


> First of all, better infrastructure doesn't just mean faster chargers.

It means faster chargers and more. Not point in defending mediocrity.

Mercedes has 400 kW chargers: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45847770/mercedes-chargep...

Gravity has 500 kW chargers: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gravit...

North America's EV infrastructure is slowly improving.

> Second, Tesla is a private company

No, it's a public company.

> Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know.

They've been charging all brands in Europe for a long time now.

> They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers.

But that's exactly what they are doing. Not even Tesla agrees with you.


Shouldn't Kia build out the 800v chargers? After all it is their cars that benefit from it.


No need. Every other charger manufacturer makes chargers that support 800 volt cars. You can buy them off the shelf. Hyundai's (same company as Kia) charging stations use third party chargers.

Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RC-hipaK3GY

Their Korean stations are custom builds but they're not doing that everywhere: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20210121000481

The main issue is that North America's charging infrastructure is in a bad state due to a lack of standardization and regulation. Lack of direction means lack of investment.

Europe set their standards and direction early which is why the EV infrastructure is better. This is the European plan to 2030: https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/article/f...

North America will get its act together eventually.


Either that or buy a stake in Tesla's network along with a requirement that the funds be used to upgrade or install chargers with V4.


Yeah, same.

> obtain customer PII (Personal Identifiable Information) associated with outstanding balances for Framework purchases.

I don't have outstanding balances (I'm aware of) for like two years now. Something doesn't quite add up. They may just have sent this email to previous customers too for good measure, but I'd love to know more about that.


Hi, just clarifying on this. There are two primary causes for historical closed orders having “outstanding balance.”

The first is fraction of cent balances from differences in different systems on how taxes were calculated. Another is due to interactions between systems where tax rates changed between initial order and shipment. These don’t have customer facing impact in terms of payment due, but require handling from an accounting perspective.


Discussed already earlier today. Technically a recall, but for Tesla just an OTA.


Thanks, here's the discussion:

Tesla Recalls 2M Cars to Fix Autopilot Safety Flaws

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38625652 (200 comments)


It was a real frustrating comment section to read. Half the comments being a variation of "it's not a recall, it's an update" while conveniently ignoring that a recall has a legal meaning with obligation to contact vehicle owners by mail and stuff like that.

It really felt like a bunch of Tesla owners felt personally attacked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


It's a legal term that hasn't caught up to modern standards as that word still implies a physical need to return your vehicle for service. When in reality it's the same as a forced security update on your phone or PC.


When a vehicle has a defect that can pose safety issues, a recall is issued. I don't see why we should handle software defects differently from hardware defects.

I understand the point you make, but this is entirely semantics and is not a real world issue. Tesla owners will receive a notice of recall that will clearly state that there will be an OTA update, they will read it and move on.


I hope no one tells these guys about other anachronisms like "horsepower".


[dupe]


> influencer agency The Clueless was only inspired to design her because they found real-life models and influencers too unreliable and difficult to work with.

hilarious


Yes, but it does not cover the other minor benefit: not having to pay the talent.


Also getting 11k a month


Hmmm, but did we all skip over a very important issue?

Are the gen AI images subject to copyright?

They aren't are they? [0] So could a competing agency use these images in their own campaign without compensation?

Or, is doing some Photoshop work like adding a background, or color grading enough to make the work copyrightable?

ChatGPT 4's summary on the matter does not "think" that just changing a background is enough. [1]

That's a really interesting point I hadn't considered.


No strikes. No opinions (refusal to appear with other content). No diva behavior. Just a cog doing what’s expected.

It may be some years off but eventually video content will move toward synthetic actors and actresses. Some real actors will remain but will be a minority. People still go to see live plays.


Technology seems to turn everything into cottage industries eventually.


Problem is that it hollows out the middle and all that's left is either expensive niche stuff or mass produced synthetic crap. Wood furniture is a good example today.


It's doing the same thing with employment and society in general.

Hollowing out middle class jobs and the middle class itself. And as we see, it won't stop there. Doctors, Lawyers, Programmers are all on the chopping block as well.


That is historically quite ironic given how cottage industry was the early industry before factories disrupted them. Of course you could call work from home coding cottage industry too.


>People still go to see live plays

That’s where holograms come in.


the author actually _is_ using a CDN now :D


Non-competes shouldn't be a thing for most employees.


Unemployment in eg the US is fairly low. So you can pick companies which have less stringent non-competes (or non at all).


Jobs on offer are fewer than number of unemployed.

Therefore jobs are scarce.

Only when there is a vast surplus of jobs will competition do the work. Until then you need regulation.


And regulators that dont cite "low unemployment" when they raise interest rates.


They actually do, from time to time.


Limiting yourself to voting with your wallet/feet, while corporations use every trick in the book, is like trying to win at chess using only pawns.


Labor rights shouldn’t be governed by employment metrics.


Or we could not allow unconscionable contract terms.


When I go back to the US, I pick states by which have limited non-competes.


That's a fair point. Competition between states to attract people (and business) is good.
