I went ad-free on IG by no longer using it. FB ruined that product.

Took me ages to realise I never get ads on IG. I'm in some sort of permanent control group.

Most non-ads content also is ads but more or less subtle.

> Based on the rate of progress alone I would expect functional vision-only self-driving to be very close.

So close yet so far, which is ironically the problem vision based self-driving has. No concrete information just a guess based on the simplest surface data.

In 2016 Musk said you’d be able to drive from LA to NYC without touching the steering wheel once “within 2 years”. He’s been making untrue statements about Tesla FSD for a decade.

Yeah, I know he said this. Setting aside the two years aspect, which obviously didn't pan out/was a lie if we're being harsh, I don't see this language as incompatible with the current change -- they're adding "supervised" to the description. He didn't say you'd be able to go to sleep in the back seat. "able to" is not the same as "guaranteed to." Believe me, I'm not a fan, but I just don't see this language as that big of a shift.

And people keep buying the stock and buying the cars.

Yeah, that's a bad bet unless Tesla becomes much more than a car company.

4. America is a giant land mass and Americans want 500 miles of range when most countries are ok with 200.

Most Americans don’t drive anywhere near that far.

For fair context, it was only ~2007 when Apple (Jobs) pivoted from pushing web apps to native apps.

He was just buying users of popular products in lieu of attracting new ones to his own.

Meta has subsequently ruined IG and seems busy working up new ways to ruin WhatsApp.

Sure but seeing where his users were going and buying those companies at what are now very low prices (especially instagram) were a big deal.

Not so much with Oculus though. The whole metaverse thing ended up being very cringe.

Yes tricking a bank into thinking you are one of their customers is not the same as assuming someone else’s identity.

As always, Mitchell and Webb hit the nail precisely on the head.

He also made Silicon Valley.

Yes especially given that XP was the most useable version of Windows ever. They just threw it all away and expected people to relearn the basics of interacting with their PC.

XP was good but I’m partial to 7. It was like a refined Vista that brought proper alpha blending support and a number of QoL improvements without setting the core experience on fire.
