@kirk3gaard @Waymo we are working hard because yes there is a moral obligation!

It really does, I'd get probably 50X more use out of my frank if I could just walk up to the car and use it

Love that Rivian R2 still includes a physical button to open the frunk. This makes the frunk 100x more useful.

With Matic's new smart home integration, you can control cleaning from anywhere with the help of Siri and Google Assistant. Ready to roll? Try asking it to clean your kitchen.

@reed @FlintCasey At what times does it actually honk at someone? Had it one time in Austin honk when someone was backing up close to the Waymo.

My Waymo just autonomously honked at someone. Road rage brings such a human-like quality to the robotaxi experience

Oh look a Waymo is stuck, let me stand in front of it and look through the windshield to see if I can diagnose the software problem that way.

I got laid off recently. Very disheartening but I'm excited to see what interesting work I do next. Just don't like how layoffs are now a common occurrence in tech, and it may accelerate in the next few years. Such is life. Onwards and upwards!

Assuming Waymo-equivalent self-driving cars "win", it will be equivalent to curing all breast cancer in the US, twice-over. Self-driving cars are absolutely the most important pro-social technological development in decades

How do people work with only one display? It feels impossible to be productive
What are you swapping screens every 10 seconds

@tnertz @mweinbach I caved and got a studio display, probably everybody else did too lol

@reed @mweinbach I remember looking at the resale values of the dongle like five years ago and they were triple digits. Shoulda cashed out

@tnertz @mweinbach original cheesegrater was incredible, can’t beat that power button + relay click

@reed @mweinbach I bought a 2008 Mac Pro 3,2 for $80 in 2014. Great computer until 4K became prevalent.
Each person I spoke to at the estate sale let me haggle a lower price until I got out the door
