Lol with 2 VMs per VM you can do an infinite VM linked list where each macOS hosts a "guest" and a "next host". I'm too lazy to test this out. Any takers?

Yes they do. It's called "another Mac". And I'm not even being snarky here: I legitimately think someone at Apple thought this through and said "yeah if they need more than 2 VMs running at the same time, there are probably multiple users and they can each get their own Mac".

I used to run into this and I use Siri enough to control HomeKit that I give things really mundane names ("Upstairs Bathroom Vanity", "Guest Bedroom Front Shades") to ensure that we have no miscommunication between me and Siri.

If you name your Hue light "House Music" and you're confused when you ask to "turn on house music", you've played yourself. I am interested to see if such a light was in the LLM context window or there were memories recorded of past bad encounters if an LLM would predict better...

I mean yeah or they include a 5G modem because the ads are so lucrative. But then we can start discussing how to cut the red wire to disarm your spy rectangle.

Someone should start a blog where it's all clickbait titles and the articles are all once sentence with the obvious resolution to the bait.

My 2021 S I bought used has been rather as expected in terms of issues... which is to say I have a similar experience to you, somewhat due to the prior owner leaving a litany of subtle issues for me to find and get serviced and also due to the S-ness. It's low volume, so I get it, but I think most of the cheapness is not safety related (except that all PS4S on 21" configurations should be fired into the sun they are such utter crap in terms of longevity and handling feel).

Do regular service intervals influence this? Would Tesla improve the safety of their cars (by this metric) by giving a regular service for safety items in tandem with the safety inspection interval?

Damage done by the driver is one thing (AFAIU, Tesla Service pricing is pretty damn competitive for repairs), but warranty work like light alignment and function, premature suspension wear (big on Teslas), and brake maintenance probably don't make a difference to Tesla if they are done before the safety inspection or after in terms of cost, but is rather important in terms of reputation...

I mean this is like comment and comment reply number three of the same pattern: "I have Tesla Model 3|Y and it's doing well" --> "sample size of 1 mreh".

Reviews tend to skew negative. Where are all the angry Tesla owners here? (Seriously. I want to hear from angry HN readers about bad 3|Y ownership experience.)

I have a Y and an S (Palladium) and the Y is solid (only service for usual EV wear items) but the S has been... a "luxury" vehicle let's say that. I'd imagine some of the issues it had in its history wouldn't pass German TUV, but I got the things I noticed fixed under warranty.

I'm really curious how the newer vehicles do. It's a bit of a running joke "the new ones will be better!" but I really do see the improvement in my 2023 Y versus the 2020 3 I had. The S falls somewhere in between in a way that makes sense given its price point and year.

It seems like that plus some build output caching?

WDYM this seems very familiar. At commit deadbeef I don't need to materialize the full tree to build some subcomponent of the monorepo. Did I miss something?

And as for pricing... are there really that many people working on O(billion) lines of code that can't afford $TalkToUs? I'd reckon that Linux is the biggest source of hobbyist commits and that checks out on my laptop OK (though I'll admit I don't really do much beyond ./configure && make there...)
