Looks great, I can't wait to use it. I imagine it could become very expensive for certain workflows, it will probably be like AWS where if you're not careful with the setup and watching what you're doing it will spin up 1000s of agents and rack up huge bills! It's going to be a massive money spinner!

I've had this happen to me, posted a factual restaurant review 12 months later threatened with defamation and it's auto removed by Google. It seems there are agencies that use legal framework to do bulk removal requests to Google for any low reviews no matter the content. The in-authentic Korean restaurant in Cologne went from a 1.9 to a 4.6. It's impossible to trust reviews in Germany due to these corrupt bully tactics.

I think it's actually Thiel who is in control and pulling the strings here. He essentially got Vance into his current position and is obviously still linked to Musk.

Nice project!

I am wondering if there is a risk, as it is open source, that a company with bigger marketing spend starts offering timefold in the cloud, kind like AWS with Elasticsearch? Or is there a big enough moat with the models on your cloud platform to prevent this situation?

I'm pretty sure Meta apps, at least Facebook, are banned in China still. Apple complies with the Chinese government and removes banned apps otherwise it can not operate there. I think even Tiktok itself is banned in China, there is a special version just for the Chinese market so their consumers can not see global content.

They are blatantly trying to shock people and go against the brand heritage to get publicity, looks like something from the Cybertruck playbook. Sales and reputation have been declining for a while, maybe this is a last chance gamble. It could work out for them.

Am quite surprised at the auth issues apparent in Supabase considering the funding. I was looking at using this on my next project. Any official comments on the state of auth at Supabase? Anyone here had a good or bad experience with Supabase Auth?

How did Sony drop the ball on this one? If they were the publisher then they should have been on top of the feedback loop.

The point is that in some situations it can be more cost effective to generate additional energy than implement energy saving measures such as insulation improvements. My house was built in the 1600's it's very difficult to insulate properly.

Those property comparisons are way way off - Passau is in the middle of nowhere - if you wanted a house like that close to Munich it would cost millions and it's even a struggle to find one available.

Housing in decent locations in Bavaria is very expensive and in very short supply compared to San Diego.

They are backed by Y Combinator so that might be why they get extremely decent exposure on HN.

This is a bad analogy - it's more like you request access to an area, there are no locks, you're invited in and told that the content is not restricted.

tailsdog — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 13:04:23 +0000

Phantom braking in the Tesla Model 3 is very real and can be scary, I've experienced it several times. I've noticed that it seems to occur if it sees shadows when going under bridges on the highway.

If you're alert you can override it pretty quickly by hitting acceleration. The problem is when using driving assists you get a false sense of security, you put too much trust in the system, relax, pay less attention - unfortunately this can be fatal.

> And with many countries moving away from gas in their electricity production, or at least moving it to peak-only, the price will go down.

If there is less consumption I would imagine the price would rather go up.

Irony is there is no "Sign In" button or link on this page. I have to hunt for it by clicking the Logo to get to get back to the homepage.

I know it is a blog but still it's part of the website and as a customer I should be able to access "Sign In" with one click from any page, right?
