Why couldn't they have made it look like a normal Ferrari.

It's just a powertrain change why mess up all the styling.


It’s a five seat nearly SUV despite Ferrari claiming it isn’t. It makes fake noises in sports mode like the other EVs, it seems to have only two features that come from Ferrari and that’s the quad rear lights and the yellow badge.

I’m not the target market for this and never will be but nobody is going to make a poster of that for a teenagers bedroom. Yuck.


> It's a five seat nearly SUV

I think that's the key. This is meant to go up against the Lamborghini SUV and its ilk: a vehicle for the very wealthy who don't really like cars but have to mark their status in everyday interactions. It will sell well.


The Purosangue exists and looks a lot better than this.

But it's not electric.

But it shows that a nearly SUV can look like a Ferrari.

> nobody is going to make a poster of that for a teenagers bedroom

Do people still do this tho?


Yep they do despite it seeming like an anachronism from the 1980s. I have a few car posters in my workshop because grown ups aren’t allowed to have them on their bedroom walls, at least according to my wife.

I have a couple of “posters” I printed in my office plotter in my office, but I really need to get one for my current car instead of my previous one.

Seems like it. I regularly see photos of people's gaming setups/battlestations and hobby rooms, and it's not rare to see posters of cars.

Though it's more common to see smaller framed art, and model cars.


The US could very causally spend a couple $100B less on their military and not have a real reduction in capability.

I love how its described as a mere 'major hassle' rather that an absolutely insane trust-destroying situation

"inflation"

"appreciation"

My phrasing was just to point out things moving in the opposite direction to what has previously been considered normal (which is also the economically intended 'normal').

How is blackhole-ing a customer not considered an outage?

It's completely insane that any sovereign government would let ANY foreign government have ANY control over the data.

What in the world let the EU countries into this situation.


>What in the world let the EU countries into this situation.

The US serpent's propaganda that played the EU into being weaker and dependent until the US no longer needs us (you are here now) with the ultimate goal of extorting as much as possible on the way out. Shame on us for falling for it


I had assumed all the science moved elsewhere by now, like bluesky


there could be more there that i don't see


It just depends how quickly models become "good enough" that we don't care about SOTA


Arguably, some of the things HN readers ask for can be capably completed by a local open weight model for free.



I'm pretty curious what Slate's telematics/privacy story will be like. No way to tell until they start shipping, I guess. It's pretty cheap to add a cell modem, so I don't think it's safe to assume that a "bare bones" car necessarily won't have spyware.


I haven't heard about slate till just now, but based on their specs, it doesn't seem like they are capable of collecting or selling data. The dashboard is your personal tablet or phone. It literally seems to just be a battery, motor, chassis, and trunk, with climate control and required safety features


> The dashboard is your personal tablet or phone.

That seems worse in terms of tracking. Those are the leading tools for tracking people.


What I'm saying is the car doesn't have a method to track you, and if you want entertainment, you have to bring it.

If you don't want your phone to track you, just don't bring it, but most people will have their own phone on them when they travel anyway. It's unfair to blame Slate for the invasiveness of whatever phone you choose to have.


I thought you meant that Slate used a phone app for their console.


No, there is no screen console. So if you happen to want music/maps you need to figure it out somehow.


Isn't it Bezos? In which case I have little faith it won't be like the rest.


TUIs are back because the web got too bloated.


And desktop app are tuning into bloated website
