Some of it is that a 12v failure is much more of a pain in an EV, since you need low-voltage to trigger the high-voltage battery contactors in order to recharge the low-voltage battery. Many people don’t know this, and then panic when their car appears very broken. Some non-Tesla EVs will throw downright bizarre errors and lights at you in this condition.

I’m optimistic we’ll all learn about EVs and their common failure modes like we have with ICE vehicles over time.

oh my god the webkit bug is over two years old apple really wants people using the app store jesus

I’ve had some general weirdness with the keyboard in iOS 17 beta, so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of it is that.

Love the new name! Can’t wait to see development continue and the app get even better.

Either way you’re replacing the 12v battery before you’re driving anywhere, Tesla or otherwise. Having a manual lock may be nicer for easier access under the hood in this case, but that’s really it. Other automakers EVs also have issues with their 12v systems dying and bricking the cars until replaced, Hyundai’s come to mind specifically. Newer Teslas have a lithium-ion low voltage battery (it’s like 15v or something i think?) that shouldn’t fail for the life of the car, so this is a non-issue.

I’m really sorry your wife rejected you like that, that pain will likely stick around for some time. Coming out as nonbinary in a marriage is really tough, my partner actually did not too long ago.

I’m a trans woman, and there were still challenges for me. In theory I should be the most accepting partner and immediately be able to change my brain around, but I found myself confused - having to process things in ways I didn’t anticipate.

Your partner’s brain is probably going crazy right now trying to process your identity, what that means for her identity and you as a couple, then resetting the expectations she had for your collective future. Not to mention processing the potential optics of being perceived as being in a queer relationship in today’s climate. That’s a lot!

How she spoke to you was how she felt in that moment, but doesn’t have to be how she feels forever. If you have the patience and pain tolerance for that process, it’s very possible things will work out.

What’s harder to actually make work is suppressing your identity for the sake of someone you love. It can feel like noble sacrifice, but you’re really not doing either of you a favor long-term. You’ll both feel the facade, but feel dedicated to it and be miserable.

I suppose if I had advice, it’d be to remember that how you both feel in this moment can and will change, and doesn’t have to mean anything big about your relationship unless you want it to. I know I can feel a panic to process and try to repair things, when time and space is actually what’s needed.

Oh, and try to find a decent relationship counselor if you’re both down - though the process of finding someone is certainly discouraging.

I really hope the best for you.

My new name/pronouns felt really foreign to me for a long time honestly. I used they/them for a while until i felt “femme enough” for she/her (whatever that means) and these days i’m they/she.

It just took some time for that to go away. Other people gendering you properly can help reinforce that it’s correct.

Interested to see how this plays out! Their argument that the only way a LLM could summarize their book is by ingesting the full copyrighted work seems a bit suspect, as it could’ve ingested plenty of reviews and summaries written by humans and combined that information.

I’m not confident that they’ll be able to prove OpenAI or Meta infringed copyright, just as i’m not confident they’ll be able to prove that they didn’t violate copyright. I don’t know if anyone really knows what these things are trained on.

We got to where we are now with fair use in search and online commentary because of a ton of lawsuits setting precedent, not surprising we’ll have to do the same with machine learning.

If he ever read the manual for the car (no one ever does! they should!) he’d know you can remove the tow hook cover and connect a battery to the wires to open the frunk, then replace the 12v battery yourself if you’d like. Or if that’s too complicated, have it towed to a service center or mobile service fix it for you.

It’s just a car! Fix it yourself or take it to service! Why is this news?

One of my favorite parts of living in SF were these dumb billboards. They’re so bad - though this one is a bit more dystopian than most.
