Every plausibly cool electric car innovation leads me to the same thought: “5-10 years from now, the restomod potential will be wild once these come down in cost.” For this, I am imagining retrofitting a Pontiac Fiero to reduce as much weight as possible and see if extended flight becomes possible.
My mom always said never to judge a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I could walk a whole marathon and still wouldn’t feel like I had perspective enough to judge people in this case. The story made me gasp at that point like I’d been struck.
(And then there was the whole “antinatalist” bit and I am trying really hard to keep this dude’s shoes tied so I will stop there)
To be fair, I think it's easy to believe this. It seems logical that if you knew for sure that someone you loved was dying, you'd be in a better position to accept it, but human experience is more than logic.
Speaking from my own first-hand experience, saying "goodbye" is never easy regardless of the circumstances. Every goodbye has its own texture and none is "easier" than another. They're just...different.
It wouldn’t be HackerNews without the top comment explaining how the real fault lies with labor and not the rent seekers who showed up afterwards and sucked up all the excess value from consumer and supplier.
That was fantastic, thanks for posting. One thing I really loved about it was what was missing: there was no explicit attempt to make a point or to assert a universal truth; it was just the facts of what happened and take it as you will.
I actually asked Claude about that this week and it was fairly interesting: the estimates are based on historical data, so I think that suggests in the current set up there will always be wild gaps. As best I could tell, the estimates you get are probably for the model one or two whole versions ago?
