The moment that Mandani said he will stay home and serve the people of NYC, what asked 'where are you going to make your first visit when elected' it made him a target. He showed he wasn't willing to bow down to a foreign power.

NYT still tries to put a veneer of modicum. NY Post is the one that is unbashingly always negative against Mamdani, full on attacks all the time.

I think people had enough of it, and saw through it and voted for him just in spite.

I know all the members of my soccer team voted for him. I had no clue who he was, but all the attacks backfired and made him even more famous.

Do you think they are lying just for kicks?

I have a 84 w123 300D, and would love to add some more power to it. Lightweight hub motors would be great, but any decent size battery would be at least 200lbs+, which is hard to do on a old chasy.

Anytime I let lose AI (Both Codex and Claude), they end up producing slop that is overcomplicated, and that looks like a generic tutorial interface. Great for toy apps but not for serious one.

When I do most of the architecture, and use AI to 'fill in the blanks' or just finish some functionality here and there, then AI is great.

The main reason is that it is trained by public code that is mostly tutorials, and simple apps, so AI can't build a great looking one by itself (or it doesn't how to do large apps). But for specific features, it is great.

TLDR: It is still a 'fill in the funcionality here' type of help. Folks that are successful with letting 'multiple agents' running in the background are mostly for backend work where the results are easier to verify.

Also, there is a lot of LARPING in twitter sphere exaggerating what AI can realistically do right now. But I can see how it can affect entry level jobs. AI is still like an CS intern, or very very junior engineer.

Can't believe they are asking 600k for this thing.

It is almost like Ferrari is trying to punk its customers.

Ps. Everyone is hating it on FerrariChat

I think the reason for dropping it, is more of a technical issue and user experience, rather than a 'desire' issue or company will. From my understanding, Zuck wanted this. The implementation was a mess, and folks have different expectations about messages to appear at every platform. Having messages disappear between devices/web, or having to back up encryption, keys, etc... it was just a terrible user experience. Even employees, disliked this feature.

This was not something actually asked by users, but more of a feature done in order to thwart all the types of legal issues created when folks use the platform.

At some point, I counted, there were 64 'leads', just to make this happen. Each lead, had a certain area, or surface/views, which means we are talking about hundreds of folks involved to make this happen (across fb and ig).

It was a boodongle, and it was something that users didn't ask.

Ps. I know, many here at HN really care about this, but the average user was not willing to put up with the degradation of the user experience in order to make this happen. All workarounds, require weakening E2E, which made it pointless.

Ultimately, If you want a truly E2E, you will have to use a platform specifically made for it. IG/FB are just not it.

Even Telegram, doesn't have it enabled by default, unless you specifiy it.

The Ferrari Roma, or Amalfi, are within that 600hp - 800hp range.

Simply, the new leadership thinks there is not enough market for it, and that's why. Mainly, because in the 2010-2015 era, when the pdk/dual clutch became popular, folks stopped buying manuals. But that attitude has changed, and folks are wanting for more manual experiences.

There is your list. https://carbuzz.com/10-most-powerful-cars-ever-with-a-manual...

You have cars from 600hp up to 800+ hp and safely can handle a manual transmission.

It is not a technical issue, just a leadership mentality issue.

They have ceased to become a great fun car, to more just something to show off/luxury empty toy.

While there is nothing wrong with converting your classic car to electric, if the powertrain is shot (they are harder to maintain as they age), but IMO, it looses the charm of the point of having a classical car.

Few years ago, there was a trend to do these conversions, but that stopped as people realised the car loses its charm and the feel of having old classic car, and most of them are not being used as dailies anyways.

I survived all three rounds of layoffs, but I saw multiple great colleagues (some of them had been there for 10+ years), getting laid off. After so many re-orgs, I had enough and quit. It was just not worth it (all that uncertainity, people were unhappy, hunger games into trying to get a good rating, etc).

I think Zuck is taking its "Meta" failure (VR) into his own employees. After their treatment, many good people don't want to join Meta anymore, hence he had to spend so much money into buying engineers to join.

I think it is the start of a downwards spiral.

There are two periods where there are sharp declines: 19, and sometimes after 26, all the way to 35.

https://www.hallandalelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IIH...

If we assume, this is a indicator 'maturity', then the answer should be around 26-35, depending on the individual. It seems that the founding fathers were into something when the made the minimal age for a president at 35.

There is a reversal at 75+, but this is due to age related issues. And my experience from the older folks in my life, it seems people start reverting to a 'teenage' like state at 75+.

I hope things do get de-escalated soon, as this is not good for any party (apart Israel and Russia, which are the main gainers of all this mess).

They held the threat of closing it, as a deterrent of an attack, and once attacked, they did just that.

You either live in a parallel universe, or are just spewing here propaganda.

This war is only to benefit Israel, and right now indirectly Russia (due to the rising prices). Basically, the US is the main loser/sucker in this war, and we are all poorer for doing it.

"It certainly did not help that the United States had stood idle while the regime slaughtered tens of thousands of its opponents, before making the attempt,"

"Now, before we go forward, I want to clarify a few things. First, none of this is a defense of the Iranian regime, which is odious. That said, there are many odious regimes in the world and we do not go to war with all of them. Second, this is a post fundamentally about American strategy or the lack thereof and thus not a post"

Simple example:

Objective-C

if myObject {

}

in swift if myObject != nil {

}

Also opitionals in swift could have totally be avoided if they adopted a prototype based langue (basically object are never nil). Lua did this, and it is very elegant

But meanwhile, we got a half backed optional system, which is backwards (similiar to Java), and didn't help with the practicality of the language at all, and meanwhile you still can crash an app doing myArray[1]
