The problem is that EVs are basically a solved problem. There isn't any technological advantage to be gained, since the technology in an EV is very basic (+) compared to ICE vehicles. So then it comes down to manufacturing, and there China is king.

(+) Except for the battery, but that's a very long term battle with very tiny steps.

This is a very realistic analysis which isn't going to be very popular.

The battery progress is more an accidental discovery than research problem alone.

This is EU's fault because they have democracy and other liberal bullshit, pure woke propaganda.

I don't understand what's the threat from a CLI which is useless without AI models and Anthropic could be one of them?

This is where EU needs to put its weight and at least in Europe - if you sell something but not willing to support - open source client, server and device all sorts of software.

While I'm a shameless freeloader with mostly backend skills - Adam has my utmost respect for out of the box innovation.

I did buy some of this books. Not the Tailwind UI though.

Adam, you gotta pay bills too. I understand that. And I respect that.

The day a product of mine starts making money, I'll come knocking your door.

Thank you.

So he's spent $51k on tokens in 3 months to build what exactly? Tools to enable you to spend more money on tokens?

Quick math on the environmental impact of this assuming 18.35Wh/1000 tokens:

Total energy: 4.73GWh, equivalent of powering 450 average US homes annually

Carbon footprint: ~1822 metric tons of CO2, equivalent of driving 4.56 million miles in a gas powered car

Water consumption: 4.5 million litres, recommended daily water intake for 4000 people for a full year

Yet they're on twitter bragging...

Well. TBH for some maybe this is the wrong question to ask but I have been thinking where did those 250 billion tokens go? What tools/products/services came out of that?

Is there something similar that exists for Postgres?

OK, but Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, and Google Search etc are ubiquitous. `Google' has even become a verb. Google might take a shotgun approach, but it certainly does create widely used products.

That doesn't negate my original point.

Where does google struggle to make products people don’t want to use? Is it a personal opinion?

Anti Gravity is a flop. I mean it uses Gemini under the hood.

But you cannot use it with an API key.

If you're on a workspace account, you can't have normal individual plan.

You have to have the team plan with $100/month or nothing.

Google's product management tier is beyond me.
