Im in a different Flytrex delivery area and I don’t have exact answers but probably some insight. There is a strip mall or two with like 15 restaurants and these are the ones on their service so the driving is really under a mile. Also they seemingly have a new 30% off code for one particular restaurant every few days, likely to funnel orders and make the “last mile” delivery person able to batch pick up. The drone really only took under 4 minutes to fly to my house (I was on the outer edge of the delivery ring so it’s gotta be the furthest atm).

They don’t have to deal with traffic or 3rd party delivery drivers. From hitting order to my first bite was under 30 minutes (on my second order, my first order was super late but they comped me - the first delivery they have a member watch the drone land in your yard to ensure it’s working).


just got beta 2 installed and it did infact crash in safari


For me too, also with current public beta.


Yea per usual you spend like $1k for $5 off or something.


In your example it the answer may be “none”, but I’d be curious of the amount of tech debt that may have been introduced by the jr vs the sr’s; whether or not sr’s had better intuition.


Jr introduced far less tech debt because they knew the patterns and best practices around the tech stack where as the Sr developers didn't.

So the Sr devs wrote a bunch of really funky react code and the jr dev just wrote normal looking react code.


Sounds great until you start hearing boss-level music!


Then it starts sounding even better!


This is more like entering "cartoon mouse nose" into Craiyon though. You're getting incohesive code snippets returned to you based off a single line (appropriate word for code and a drawing).


Ah yes!!! “Divided by infinity”. I had this saved as I like to go back and read it every so often.

Ah, thank you! That is it. Just as biting and dark as I remember it.

Greg Egan also has a number of stories about people who rebelled against a "many worlds" universe by porting human cognition to run on "Quantum Single Processors," which would carefully isolate themselves from the universe until they had made a single decision across every possible timeline. This didn't prevent them from being "branched" by outside factors, but it at least gave them an approximation of free will.


Greg Egan writes true sci-fi. Exploring what-ifs further than anyone has explored them, and putting them up in story format so you don't have to be Einstein.


Unless I misread the article it will be more expensive for non-tesla evs (the mentioned about the cost going towards supporting just that and building it out furhter), tesla's would pay the same. There would be no priority given either way afaik.


That's fine that MCD does that but Tesla already has 30k+ stations around the USA with no reader. A retrofit to include that wouldn't be cheap OR fast and it would introduce another point of failure.


You know McDonalds had tens of thousands of locations before they had self service kiosks, right? They had to "retrofit" them in too.
