Does MINI make their own software? I thought it was the same as BMWs with another skin. My BMW gets quarterly updates. Only once in the past year I've had it did I notice anything new (new voice assistant), otherwise it just resets my driver screen and sets my interior lighting on full blast every time it updates.

If Android Auto stopped working I'd also be livid because I don't use the built in crap.

Sure. No need for --(experimental)-strip-types since I-forget-which-version, but I use Node.js 24.17 here.

  // ---- dev-ts-resolve.js
  export async function resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) {
    try {
      return await nextResolve(specifier, context);
    } catch (err) {
      const isRelative = specifier.startsWith('./')
        || specifier.startsWith('../')
        || specifier.startsWith('/')
        || specifier.startsWith('file:');
      if (err?.code === 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND' && isRelative && specifier.endsWith('.js')) {
        return nextResolve(`${specifier.slice(0, -3)}.ts`, context);
      }
  
      throw err;
    }
  }
  // ---- dev-loader.js
  import { register } from 'node:module';
  
  register('./dev-ts-resolve.js', import.meta.url);
  // ----

usage:

  node --import ./dev-loader.js --watch-path=./src

I definitely started out typing out the plural, but thought I should temper my words a bit for some reason.

I don't doubt there are some, but GP made it sound like every European company and institution is working feverishly on it, which just cannot be true.

I transpile for prod, but use --strip-types when running in dev, and all I had to do was to make a 10-line ESM register hook that rewrites .js to .ts if the .js import fails, and then a one-liner import register trampoline script. Not sure I'd do that in prod, but works fine in dev at least.

This way I could just use node --watch instead of tsx or nodemon.

I call bullshit on the "very quickly" part there. It'll take a decade to phase out. And some don't seem interested at all (my employer for instance).

This is just the same insane Effective Altruist slop we've heard before from the likes of SBF, et. al. Completely divorced from reality.

The "Abundist" movement is already dead.

Hmm, is this a thing for enterprise accounts too? My employer has gone all-in on Claude, but if I get a pop-up that requires me to give my ugly mug to a literal cardinal enemy of the human race Peter Thiel, then I will have to seriously consider switching jobs, because I have some of them silly principles.

Of course it is. It's literally the first provision in the MoU.
