I will use my right to disagree. Maybe not 4 people everywhere, but if you have product with well thought feature set you create those and then you really don't need 1000s people to just keep it alive and add features one by one.
I - of course - am talking about perfect approach with everyone focused to not f** it up ;)
And 10 orders is optimistic value - LLMs are random with some probability of solving the real problem (and I think of real systems, not a PoC landing page or 2-3 models CRUD) now. Every month they are now getting visibly better of course.
The „old” world may output different assembly or bytecode everytime, but running it will result in same outputs - maybe slower, maybe faster. LLMs now for same prompt can generate working or non-working or - faking solution.
European propaganda at its finest!
> Report doesn't mention which defects were responsible for the Model Y's disappointing performance
Because the only thing they really saw were rusty brake discs that aren’t heavily used, because Tesla tries to be really Eco and recovers energy instead of wasting.
> Mercedes will usually receive better care than a cheap Dacia that may never see an authorized repair shop
Poor Mercedes. Authorized shops never recommend to replace transmission fluid or do care about engine roughness. Unauthorized shop and Dacia will replace engine oil every 10-15k km or 40-60k km for gearbox and the car can easily do 2-3x more distance than Mercedes. Audi TFSI engines require full rebuild after 120k km because of such servicing, Mercedes V8s break after 25-40k km (valve springs break, cylinders got scratched).
It’s great that for 2nd time in HN this propaganda without facts is spread again. And even if I’m defending Tesla here I love and drive petrol V8s. Not supporting diesel gate, simple maintenance and maybe some day (because they don’t break) easy repairs.
Maybe I’m just naive enough, because I love cars and progress, but I think you agree that he really showed our whole small world that EV can exist and work. Everyone laughed, no one believed it will work and here he still is rich and we have Teslas everywhere. Driving, not killing more people than other brands.
I don't even think it is correct. Teslas as a whole have twice the fatality rate [1] per billion miles as the industry overall and the model Y has a rate 4x the industry average, but that can't overwhelm the fact that there are too few Teslas on the road to make that 2x or 4x turn into more total fatalities.
A quote from the original study [1], in which Porsche 911 is the 4th on the list
“The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities.”
I would like to remind you that Tesla's least powered vehicle has around 300HP and needs ~7s to go from 0 to 100km/h. Musk is a moron but Teslas are still good and safe vehicles.
That's another question, and not a dumb one at all!
But still, while the product is what it is, there is still personal responsibilities in using it properly and safely. Otherwise we should ask regulators to just prohibit this kind of vehicles.
That ship has long since sailed. My college-age niece just bought her first car, which is a 2012 V6 Mustang with 305hp, naturally aspirated. I'm sure it's lighter, but that just makes it faster.
More a reply to few fellow comments:
I have few Win 11 hosts that I use. No management software other than just antivirus.
90% of them are super slow, on every hardware. The latest super-feature on one of them is empty Task Manager. It just doesn’t display a single process.
Of course Process Explorer works, open faster and show all data without thinking how to display table with 500 rows for dozens of seconds.
I'm pretty sure that the recent shitshow (at least in iOS land) is the failure to have tentpole Apple Intelligence features, so scraping the bottom of the barrel and shipping things that were in no way finished (e.g. Liquid Glass UI/X).
