  • Hydrogen in cars was dead from the get go, it has very niche use cases for the very few percentage of people who actually drive a shitton of kms per day, now it’s only use case would be trucking, but I feel like that should transition mostly to trains with only final miles being loaded onto trucks and there Battery powered semis are not only viable but better imho.



  • Wait till you find out how many components are shared, all the new mazda Hybrids use Toyota’s power train, while the Toyota Supra uses BMW’s B58 engine.

    This Honda Nissan situation is basically what happened with Hyundai and Kia in the past, Kia was struggling so Hyundai bought most of it.

    Economies of scale are needed nowadays, lots of shared parts, Kia/Hyundai sell the same vehicles, just with different stylings and minor differentiators.

    VW group is entire tiered system with some engines reserved for Audis. VW, Skoda and Seat are once again basically the same cars with different flavors, but for example the latest VW passat was built by Skoda.





  • Please, as someone who went down the keto rabbit hole 10 years ago, please don’t do it unless you have a medical reason, aka diabetes.

    Keto is not sustainable for you and in fact for the vast majority of people, it’s not inherently healthier, the reason it works as with any other elimination diet, is that you remove a bunch of highly palatable calorie dense foods.

    The hard truth that no one wants to hear is that the only way to lose weight long term is to change your lifestyle to one that you can stick to for the rest of your life, that means learning to eat nice balanced meals of veggies, carbs and proteins for 80-90% of your food.

    Here is a video by RP on Keto https://youtu.be/yTSJuzE0XsA

    Here is a great channel encouraging sustainable weightloss practices

    Keto is a fucking cult, get out while you can, unless you want to have diarrhea anytime you have pasta, or a beer, or anything with higher amount of carbs, your gut biome changes and you will not be able to properly digest it for a while, so no living your life and having a fun date night with your girl, it won’t be fun in the evening.

    I also encourage you to read Atomic Habits, it’s not about weightloss, but it is really good about teaching you that small changes over a long period have big results, and that is what weight loss is, you can’t rush it, it’s a long process.

    Also you want to consider picking up weight lifting as building and most importantly retaining muscle mass will do much more for your health than whatever keto cultist claim.






  • Tesla introduced the fad of using an app for charging which other idiots promptly copied making the charging infrastructure a fucking nightmare.

    Tesla introduced big screen few buttons which other car manufacturers copied, making a few model years of cars more dangerous than they have to be, thankfully manufacturers are rolling that shitty as trend back.

    Tesla continues to make cars with shit reliability, and dangerous UX with no buttons or turning shit to touch buttons that should be that, e.g. the turning indicators.

    In short fuck Tesla and Musk.





  • Society can exist without jobs, not everything has to be capital, in fact reaching a post scarcity world is needed for communism.

    AI hype is also overblown as fuck, I remember watching the CGP grey video Humans Need not Apply, like what, 8 years ago? Haven’t really achieved some epic breakthrough did we?

    For me from a software engineers perspective, “AI” is nothing but a productivity tool, it reduces the amount of mundane work I have to do, but then so does the IDE I use.

    as humans we have been automatic tasks for a long time, just think about your washing machine, you have any idea how hard it would be to have clean clothes without them? Do you think we would be better off if we needed cleaning services that clean our clothes for us using human labour just so people have jobs? Or is it better to use that effort elsewhere?
