  • Closed AI sucks, but there are definitely open models from American companies like meta, you make great points though. Can't wait for more open models and hopefully, eventually, actually open source models that include training data which neither deepseek nor meta do currently.

  • All your reasons were valid though. Teslas were the best electric cars for a long time, probably not so anymore. Tesla as a brand has done good things, like you say opening up their charging standard which is superior to all the other competitors.

    Personally, I wouldn't get a Tesla because they are sort of like the apple of car companies, e.g. anti-consumer and anti-repair. Plus, Musk owning it is another big negative.

  • It blows my mind how much people take OTC pain killers. I take one OTC pain pill maybe every three or four years (if even that).

    I'm not anti medicine by any means, but I just don't get it. Either I experience a lot less pain than other people or other people can't be mildly uncomfortable for a little while without immediately taking drugs (and not even fun drugs)

  • That's true and I even thought about trying to investigate one of their satellites bandwidth capabilities versus one starlink satellite before I commented. But ultimately it doesn't really matter because we're talking about them being a rival to starlink so In the context of this conversation, they need to match their capacity and capabilities in all aspects to be a worthy rival.

  • You're correct but their LEO constellation is over 10x smaller than Starlink, so they've still got a lot of catching up to do.

    They are doing much better than other fabled starlink competitors though, like amazon kuiper which is still not a real thing after all this time.

  • You can do anything you put your mind to. I spent a significant amount of effort (~1500 hours over 11 months) completely remolding my partner and my first house, including re wiring and re plumbing with no previous experience.

    If something goes wrong or you want to change something, seriously, you can do it all on your own. Spend some time researching the problem and watching videos of other people doing it. DIY everything and any issues will cost 10x less to fix.

    General contractors are mostly just scammers who at best will do a shit job and rip you off, and at worse will actually make the situation worse and still scam you.

  • FUTO keyboard, Seriously, it's way better than every other option I've looked into. Has material you design support.

    Also a lot of cool in development features like on-device text correction and speech to text with local LLM processing.

  • Yea your points are valid, again I wouldn't buy one for many reasons, including all the ones you listed.

    Another 'bold' car design that I may actually buy someday, if the company succeeds, is an Aptera. Funky looking vehicle with a purpose of being as efficient as possible (what all EVs should be doing, not square trucks). They just completed coastdown testing on their first production intent build and did significantly better than any ice or electric vehicle ever has.

  • I do see one in person every couple days around my parts of the world and you're right, especially from some angles they look tacky and not very high end, but overall I still like the look of them. I wish more companies went for new, weird designs.

  • I'll probably get shit for it, but I dig the look.

    I would never buy a Tesla for numerous reasons, mostly because they are the Apple of car companys, which is anti-consumer and anti-repair, although Musk owning it is a big negative as well.
