I'm from space!

  • They’re trying to make these people look radical, when their platforms are centrist stuff most other western nations have done for decades. Her platform is universal healthcare, universal pre-k, building homes, not funding wars in the Middle East, and not taking money from big corporations and billionaires.

    How is that radical?

  • More users.

  • Is that what we’re calling the SpaceX IPO now?

  • Don’t forget about execs and board members who think AI is a good ways to squeeze more money out of a company.

  • If the driver is liable and has to take over when the system fucks up, I don’t know how you can call it “full” self driving.

  • As I recall, you can get the OG cab on food trucks, but it’s something that they primarily sell to fleets vehicles. Consumers usually want the extra cab storage.

  • Off the bat, this thing is basically a dumb phone and it’s going to be very easy for third parties to mess with the platform. My bigger concern with the first launch is quality control. It’s a new vehicle, a new platform, and they’re trying to be extremely cost conscious. I won’t be surprised if there are quality issues with the first production run.

    My guess is that, like with Rivian, Bezos is more interested in an EV platform for logistics. These are cheap, they don’t dent, they the don’t have a lot of electronics that can break, they can be easily retrofitted with new logistics platforms if you have an Allen wrench, they’re small enough for urban areas, and you don’t pay for gas.

    Bezos is a lot of shitty things, but what made him rich was being a penny pinching logistics geek. This is right up his alley. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to operate.

  • The most exhausting thing is that, in a number of technology spaces, there is a new development every 6 months that forces teams to scramble. And very few organizations have found a way to train people about the new advances and how they will impact their jobs.

    It’s either changing a core operational workflow, changing whether your customers are staying / migrating to a different product, changing the roadmap, etc.

  • GSM, WCDMA, and 4G LTE

  • Well now we know exactly where this person lives.

  • Yeah, that sounds about right.

    When I saw people ripping off the floating liner, I immediately thought “they’re going to try to blame the bad work on these people”

  • 250 foot long gash? This claim sounds pretty sus. Wanna bet they’re arresting people who are ripping off the peeling rhino liner for souvenirs?

  • I liked that many people in the news seem to actually talk in a tone that implied this one was for realsies.

  • MAGAs immediately jumped to conspiracies about secret liberals tampering with the reflecting pool to undermine Trump. The dear leader knows everything and can do no wrong.

  • Although they’re filling it with “free albums and more.” So they’re actually installing more unwanted shit than Apple did a decade ago. Ugh.

  • If James Comey retweets this, that’s obviously a death threat.

  • Fuck LinkedIn and all, but in 2026 the only way to get a job in some industries is to have someone put in a referral for you. Messaging former colleagues on linkedin and having them submit a referral is often the only way your resume will even get looked at.

    It’s fucking rough out there now. Having a contact list of who you know, and who they know, can cut your job hunt in half.

    Open roles often get a thousand resumes submitted, and since hiring managers can’t read them all, they use an LLM to pick out the “best” folks. Connecting to real people is the only way to break through that shit.

  • Honestly, no. There is no fast way to spin up fabs for this stuff. A lot of lithography equipment for the top tier stuff is made by 1 supplier, stocking a shitload of fabs with the right gear just isn’t something they can do.

    IMHO, the fastest way out of this mess would be for governments to regulate how supply is spilt between consumer and enterprise products.
