Everyone makes fun of Eight Sleep until it's 84º in SF and they don't have a liquid-cooled mattress. Suckers.

There are like 7 companies you could’ve joined 6-18 months ago at $500M-2B valuation and absolutely printed (up ~10x)

Worked on a similar project at Uber. A great case study of how big companies build things no one wants because they develop "main character syndrome" — thinking too much about themselves and not enough about the customer.
From the company's standpoint, this makes perfect sense: Doordash's business is very spiky (around lunch and dinner time), Dashers have empty time to fill up, wouldn't it be nice if we used this under-utilized asset we acquired at great expense?
Clearer why it doesn't work once you take the customer's POV.
E.g. at Uber we tried to sell this to an empanada's store in Chicago, which spent 1h every morning filling out these little plastic sauce containers they hand out to people.
"Hire a temp worker!", you could say.
But then, it's only a one-hour task. The worker would have to commute ~10min to you, each way, and you'll pay for that one way or the other, on top of the platform fees (which are huge).
Then, he doesn't know your process. So you'll spend another 10min from one hour task explaining to them, and maybe another 10min catching mistakes / asking them to re-do things.
Finally — even assuming none of this was the case, why *would* you want to hire a worker? You're gonna be at the empanada stand anyway, which doesn't get busy til noon. You have time until then to fill out the sauce containers.
So, the reason these things never work is that they only work for tasks:
1. Requiring 0 context (right here you took 98% of the market out)
2. In high margin / low cost sensitivity businesses (brick and mortar / service-heavy businesses are not high margin!)
3. Where every worker is already near 100% utilization OR that need done immediately (it's a rare task that's so sensitive it needs done immediately but not so sensitive that you can give it to a rando off the street)

Introducing Dasher Tasks Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

@justin_schueler @brian_lovin Yeah cursor went crazy on me today and used 50 GB memory
English
@brian_lovin tried it again today as well. did you run into performance issues as well? eating quite a lot of cpu and fans going cracy (mbp m4). Not in issue in codex or superset.
English
Using Cursor again today for the first time in a while. Still using Claude Code, Codex, Conductor, of course.
First: someone needs to rename because the C-named companies are out of control.
Second: fast is good. Composer 2 is good because it's fast. That's all you need to know to at least give it a try.
Third: I am grateful that I can switch between all of these tools in an instant. Little-to-no lock in. I pick the thing that gives me the most intelligence-per-second-per-dollar and am happy.

So today Iran crippled world gas output for years, hit an F35, and knocked the power out in Haifa after hitting Israel's only oil refinery with a ballistic missile
I think it might be time to say it - Iran is winning the war

@Carina_Amyth @esjesjesj They used an old HW3 car. The Cybertruck uses HW4, and they replicated the test using HW4 and it passed.

Why would she turn off autopilot just to immediately crash into a wall.
Nic Cruz Patane@niccruzpatane
Elon Musk confirmed via Telemetry Data that the woman driving the Cybertruck in this video disengaged the system four seconds before the crash. She was manually driving throughout this entire video. Don't believe everything you see/hear from Legacy Media about Tesla.
English
@Teslarati You do realize that Elon admitted that the recent Cybertruck crash was on FSD just 4 seconds before impact right?

In 2021, a fatal Tesla Model S crash occurred in Harris County, Texas. Every media outlet reported it as an accident caused by Autopilot.
An NTSB report released in February 2023 proved there was "no use of the Autopilot system at any time during this ownership period of the vehicle, including the time frame up to the last transmitted timestamp on April 17, 2021.”
The car was not utilizing Autosteer at any point during the crash.

@SawyerMerritt One day, media outlets will learn that Tesla has access to driver logs, just like one day thieves and vandals will learn Sentry Mode exists

@AsterZephyrIsis Are you forgetting that Pacific Heights also has a bunch of multi-unit buildings as high as 20 stories?

there are houses in Pacific Heights that are an ENTIRE CITY BLOCK.
this is about redevelopment for the dispossession of working & middle class homeowners.

Why don’t neighborhoods like the Richmond and Sunset in San Francisco look more like the Upper West Side? But instead of 20–30 story apartments like Manhattan, it’s mostly 2-story houses. That’s tens of thousands of market-rate homes that could exist. Why didn’t it happen?
