@tjparker @jeffawilke Been wanting to see something like this for ages. Now we just need an ICE version

Finally, someone built a simple, cheap, utilitarian truck. $20k~, made in the USA, and no damn touch screen. Congrats @jeffawilke and the team at Slate — this thing is awesome.

@SimonCarGuy Yes that’s fair. Tartan cloth seat inserts & dechromed accents woulda done the trick
English

@bencwat Agreed, although hardware would be prohibitively expensive to change without re certifying the car for all markets so they’re limited to colour/trim

This is just so cool.
Clear glass, small wheels, and a shade of 80’s bathroom avocado green.
Well done Mercedes

The reality of building web apps in 2025 is that it's a bit like assembling IKEA furniture. There's no "full-stack" product with batteries included, you have to piece together and configure many individual services:
- frontend / backend (e.g. React, Next.js, APIs)
- hosting (cdn, https, domains, autoscaling)
- database
- authentication (custom, social logins)
- blob storage (file uploads, urls, cdn-backed)
- email
- payments
- background jobs
- analytics
- monitoring
- dev tools (CI/CD, staging)
- secrets
- ...
I'm relatively new to modern web dev and find the above a bit overwhelming, e.g. I'm embarrassed to share it took me ~3 hours the other day to create and configure a supabase with a vercel app and resolve a few errors. The second you stray just slightly from the "getting started" tutorial in the docs you're suddenly in the wilderness. It's not even code, it's... configurations, plumbing, orchestration, workflows, best practices. A lot of glory will go to whoever figures out how to make it accessible and "just work" out of the box, for both humans and, increasingly and especially, AIs.

On @FT‘s Top Stories today. If some random Austrian-Chinese dude can build hardware and have a voice in the UK, so can you.
No more excuses, UK/acc 🇬🇧

Massive hardware talent arbitrage in the UK. Here's my braindump on why cracked oxbridge imperial grads struggle to acc in this country. Let's build. josef.cn/blog/uk-talent

Caught this by chance on telly the other day and remembered how magnificent it was - dramatic without excess. Very hard to say we haven’t regressed from here

Is there a more awe-inspiring Hollywood scene?

@rossiadam @chamath Never trust anyone who keeps their books spine-inwards for show
English

Chamath is riding high these days. Popular podcast host. Cozying up to Trump and Elon.
But he has never been held accountable or apologized for his INSANE grifting streak over 5 years.
It was predatory, and it was wrong.
