You missed the killer feature, even more diffusion of responsibility.

"internet chum" is a good one, it echoes "slop bowl".

Essential is contextually defined by whoever implemented the that part of the front-end basically.

It not a killer feature, granted. I would be willing to bet that the cost of the engineering to develop and support this feature as a default capability for the fleet of all vehicles would be less than the value of energy saved ammortized over the lifetime of all relevant vehicles.

Intuitively appreciating that these "boring fundamentals" are the default bottlenecks is a aign of senior+ swe capability.

If it wasn't sold as the next big buzzword you could easily hire 10 new SDR employees who would sell it that way.

For the type of buyer you describe this vehicle parked in the garage, to speculate, may be capable of doing double duty as an automated battery backup for the estate nearby to store energy during times of excess grid capacity and to discharge during periods of high demand or grid interuptions. I would be interested to know if the vehicle includes this capability, or if it could be easily modified to offer this capability. Probably is preferable to an onsite diesel generator for example even if it is not an exactly comparable situation, just due to lower local emissions.

To clarify, even if it is not strictly "spying" by some particular definition, the scope and scale is so large, and the channels to direct actual "spying" resources towards potentially relevant targets that are unveiled through OSINT methods really blur the lines.

Not sure I would agree with the second statement, OSINT is spying, different mechanism but same intent.

I would like to have the opportunity to consider a decentralized consensus algorithm that could accommodate nation state adversaries regularly. Not simply something cryptographically secure and distributed but something which can retroactively route around nodes who are temporarily bad due to external circumstances.

As someone on a team with a less stringent code review culture, AI generated code creates more work when used indiscriminately. Good enough to get approved but full of non-obvious errors that cause expensive rework which only gets prioritized once the shortcomings become painfully obvious (usually) months after the original work was “completed” and once the original author has forgotten the details, or worse, left the team entirely. Not to say AI generated code is not occasionally valuable, just not for anything that is intended to be correct and maintainable indefinitely by other developers. The real challenge is people using AI generated code as a mechanism to avoid fully understanding the problem that needs to be solved.

I’m certain it’s a memory leak, just not sure solving the problem is worth my time.

My m1 16gb pro gets throttled (and manually restarted) every time vs code hits 100gb ram usage when running jest unit tests. Don’t know who to blame but 99% sure the problem is my source code and not the machine.
