Tesla's insistence on disrupting themselves is exactly why they're going to be successful.

Wasn't the discussion about greenfield projects? Or by greenfield do you mean internal greenfield projects at existing companies that already use Java?

This is quite the take - i doubt most startups building in these spaces are using Java.

follow the discussion around this on X, i think just a few minutes of research on this topic / reading past the headline you'll find out that this is pretty much a nothingburger

you do realize "rare books" in this context most likely means random technical manuals nobody cares about and not collectors items, right?

How on earth have administrative costs been soaring when there have been so many healthtech startups propped up in the past 10 years to bring down the cost of administration?

Also - given the rate of AI progress, shouldn't we see this cost go to zero essentially.

It's not like traditional media is any better. At least with social media platforms the means of producing media and building a following has been democratized.

i've found this to be wrong a lot actually

high empathy means you feel what you think the other person is feeling,

Highly empathetic people have horrible theory of mind issues a lot of the time.

seems highly editorialized - one man's "untaxed" is another man's "following the incentives of the system"

These discussions never discuss the priors, is this harm on a different scale then what preceded it? Like is social media worse than MTV or teen magazines?

I never understood these types of things, what niche are they going after?

This feels like it could be a competitor to QT, but without a real-time operating system like QNX, what's the point?

React Native won out over Fluter, Java Applets lost to HTML5 / JS, Framer is much better than Wordpress.

Time and time again, clever simulations on top of the native world are never worth it.

is this stuff not pretty easy to do with python?

``` python -c "import base64; print(base64.b64encode('$INPUT_STRING'.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8'))" ```

yeah i don't understand - they spent a few months building a prototype... do people not understand what a prototype is?

This sounds like a nothingburger.
