LewisVerstappen commented on China's BYD set to overtake Tesla as top EV seller   bbc.com/news/articles/cj9... · Posted by u/decimalenough

Something people don't really think about much is how Tesla had a huge head start in the EV business. It did well and people saw that as success, but really Musk has squandered that lead with really poor management.

Tesla could have more or less owned the US car industry if it had pushed its advantage aggressively. If Musk had used the SpaceX model and appointed someone competent to run Tesla while he was a figurehead of sorts Tesla would be many times its size.

Instead we had a chaotic Tesla expansion, the '"pedo guy" guy' and Musk hiding in the K-Hole from his apparent childhood traumas.

With Musk now pretty much fully off the reservation and into far right politics, Trump neutering of the EV transition (also Musk's doing) and pushing fossil fuels, Tesla has a grim future and may end up in the dustbin of history sooner than later.

Have you not seen Tesla's stock price? Autopilot? Robotaxis?

(I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot. I also live in downtown austin and see Robotaxis everywhere)

Lol I've pretty much checked out of HN since the discussion here is reddit r/technology level of competence.

The idea that TSLA is failing is so completely moronic that it's astonishing.

The stock is at an all time high?

This seems really cynical. Did you mean it that way?
LewisVerstappen · 2 months ago
No, but it would be great if large sums of money came with financial literacy courses to save a lot of pain and suffering later down the road.

The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and make $500k a year is insane.

Will be interesting to see how many of them have money left after 5 years

You might want to follow the article and wake up to the slow destruction of the US's constitutional architecture.

How can you seriously claim the president has no control over the court when he previously appointed three judges, with three more having been appointed by other presidents from his party? Appointments which made the court reverse decades-old case law?

You have zero understanding of American history or law

The president doesn't control US courts.

Hard to take this article seriously when it gets basic facts like that wrong.

At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Seems like OpenAI speed ran through the Facebook phase and are out of ideas

Then do it.

Since when did HN become like Reddit? Always negative about everything?

Feels like all the losers from Reddit have somehow migrated here.

I'm still not sure what model to use for what task. Which oddly sounds like a great task for chatgpt to solve
LewisVerstappen · 6 months ago
I get that it's a UI issue that OpenAI needs to solve. But it's really interesting how we have this crazy powerful tool like LLMs and the people on "hacker news" can't be bothered to spend enough time with them to develop good workflows.

Really shows how much the quality of the HN community has changed.

Today I tried "vibe-coding" for the first time using GPT-4o and 4.1. I did it manually - just feeding compilation errors, warnings, and suggestions in a loop via the canvas interface. The file was small, around 150 lines.

It didn't go well. I started with 4o:

- It used a deprecated package.

- After I pointed that out, it didn't update all usages - so I had to fix them manually.

- When I suggested a small logic change, it completely broke the syntax (we're talking "foo() } return )))" kind of broken) and never recovered. I gave it the raw compilation errors over and over again, but it didn't even register the syntax was off - just rewrote random parts of the code instead.

- Then I thought, "maybe 4.1 will be better at coding" (as advertized). But 4.1 refused to use the canvas at all. It just explained what I could change - as in, you go make the edits.

- After some pushing, I got it to use the canvas and return the full code. Except it didn't - it gave me a truncated version of the code with comments like "// omitted for brevity".

That's when I gave up.

Do agents somehow fix this? Because as it stands, the experience feels completely broken. I can't imagine giving this access to bash, sounds way too dangerous.

skill issue.

The fact that you're using 4o and 4.1 rather than claude is already a huge mistake in itself.

> Because as it stands, the experience feels completely broken

Broken for you. Not for everyone else.
