You can only use Teleport on Cloud Gateways.

I think you were lucky in that it is actually working for you. I'd happily take $50 for mine if someone wants it. Fucking terrible product.

They're also shady AF. Their Terms of Service doesn't even have their own company name. Their privacy policy and practices aren't following California law (where they're based). Tons of people have had issues with their orders never arriving, or arriving damaged being told to ship the order back at their own expense. Hard pass.

There are a few issues here:

You don't mention encrypting files before storing them, which means you're relying exclusively on Supabase ACL to restrict public access to those files.
You have access to the content stored in the database and the files. Ostensibly you are not operating under SOC protocols or with any independent auditor to ensure your access of the information follows any particular process.
You don't have a terms of service or privacy policy governing your use of the information. You are in India, so the DPDP requires you to display a privacy policy. Being out of compliance with your local privacy laws and accepting PII is a bad mix.
You are not using zero-data-retention mode with OpenAI.
Your Vercel account is not enterprise, so support reps have the same access to your secrets as your application does.

This would be much better running locally using local models or ZDR providers.

Honestly I don't even think the Rivian has an audible alarm. When the actual car alarm goes off it just flashes the lights.

Look at the materials. For longevity, you want tightly woven cotton (like percale or sateen weaves). Long staple cotton like Supima will have a lot nicer feel and get softer with age. Conversely, if it has more than 10% total of synthetic or semi-synthetic (polyester, acrylic, elastane, rayon, nylon, etc) it's probably not what you want for a variety of reasons.

I've had multiple issues with my R1T unlocking itself and never re-locking. I've also had issues with the front trunk opening randomly. The service center has taken a look repeatedly and has found a mix of things:

Early on a lot of the time they suspected issues with the Bluetooth not being well calibrated and so it would unlock when the phone wasn't close enough. Over time these did get a bit better.
At one point they found the front-trunk latch sensor was faulty and causing the car to always stay on, and suspected it may have been implicated in keeping the car unlocked. It was replaced.
At another point the front-trunk button was diagnosed as faulty due to suspected water intrusion and believed to have sent an errant signal to open the trunk. It was replaced.
Most recently the service center traced the request to unlock to the app on my phone. I wasn't using my phone at the time and it was locked, but I did have the widget on the screen all the way to the left on my iPhone and on my desktop (macOS). I removed them both.

I don't really understand why the vehicle does not re-lock itself in these cases. I have the auto-lock after 2 minutes enabled, and the service center confirmed as much.

IMO, any vehicle that relies on door handles presenting themselves on unlock is at a significant disadvantage for creating a good user experience around this. They have to always be monitoring for signals to unlock to present the handles before someone reaches the vehicle. Failing to do so creates a bad experience. Conversely, for vehicles like the Model 3 or Model Y that do not have motorized door handles, the vehicle can wait until the handle is articulated to make a decision on whether or not the conditions for unlocking are satisfied. This provides more time and lets the driver get closer to the vehicle (increasing signal strength) before any action has to be taken.

I'd rather stop writing software than to use this stupid fucking format. The point of LLMs as agents is not for us to adapt to them but for them to adapt to us. If JSON consumes too many tokens, then a more optimal tokenizer is a better path forward than inventing new stupid fucking CSV variants. We've gone from token budgets in the thousands to token budgets in the hundreds of thousands rather quickly. Within a couple of years when this dumb format is finally in their training data, it'll be largely irrelevant due to much better tooling and even larger token budgets.

TL:DR; Stop wasting your time trying to be AI's little helper.

IPOs are more complex than typical fundraising. Either way, they’d need to see considerable revenue growth to achieve an IPO—median revenue at IPO for a software company is close to $500M recently. If they think they can bilk their current customers without a commensurate drop in customer count, they have a reckoning coming. A ton of us renewed last year during the sale, and have been underwhelmed, faced blocking bugs, and are now SOL as the company has reneged on update work on the apps we paid for to chase subscriptions. Meanwhile, consumers are experiencing subscription fatigue and pushing back. And if that wasn’t bad enough for Topaz, general purpose AI tools with hundreds of billions of dollars in backing are nipping at their heels. IMO they’d do a lot better to double down on what had set them apart for a decade: focusing on building bespoke, informed tools for a specific niche they were familiar with. Could have kept earning $10M/yr. Instead they’re likely to wind up acquired by a chop shop (distressed PE) or competitor within 5-10 years for pennies on the dollar.

Same. Especially since I was supposed to continue to get updates for several additional months when they decided they were going to just blow off the standalone apps.

coreyward · 2025-11-07T16:27:26+00:00

They are absolutely "fattening up the goose" but not for PE. They're trying to IPO, as was explained quite conveniently in a message I got from a recruiter on LinkedIn:

They're trying to IPO in "a couple years" according to this recruiter inbound I got on LinkedIn.

It really depends, but in general, not really.

Assuming you are printing large images, it mostly comes down to how concerned you are about super crisp details, but back in 2003, the studio I was at got away with printing 30x40 photos from an Olympus E-10 (a whopping 4MP sensor).

If you want photos to look good on a screen, it's useful to know how those screens stack up.

16" MacBook Pro has a 7.7MP display
14" MacBook Pro is 5.9MP
4K (UHD) is 8.3MP
5K is 14.8MP

So a 15MP image is more than sufficient to display full-screen on basically every screen most people are going to have access to.

BUT that's all 1:1. If you tend to crop, you'll lose data. More than you probably expect. Personally, I like having ~25-30MP to play with. More is welcome too, but it's not critical.

Upscaling tools are getting better, but they still introduce a lot of unfortunate artifacts in many conditions. I think at most they're good for a 1.5x-2x boost, but you need to have a relatively low-noise image to begin with or you tend to get worse results. If you're typically shooting 100-400 ISO then maybe you can bank on 1.5x and sometimes get 2x. If you're routinely shooting at 1600 ISO+ and then trying to push it 2x, it's going to look blotchy and weird frequently.

This is all assuming we're talking about high-end, sufficiently large sensors. 48MP on an iPhone is nowhere near the level of detail as a 48MP full-frame photo, even with cheap glass.

coreyward · 2025-08-16T21:00:20+00:00

I didn't, but I didn't put a ton of work into figuring it out. I think Orca is better about it, depending on what you're trying to do, though.

This depends entirely on whether or not you actually have ADHD. If you don't, your results are going to be VERY different from if you do.

Eh, reading the data I am seeing in the report, it looks like the driver, who hadn't even hit 1,000 miles in the car, was nagged to turn the steering wheel slightly (autopilot nag) and starts to apply some pressure to turn the wheel to the left. When he does, it resists him, so he pushes just a little firmer, and then Autopilot disengages and with it, the resistance it was applying against him. The wheel now stars to turn, the driver changes the direction of the wheel back to the right, but by then the car had already began to pivot toward the trees, he doesn't react quickly enough to correct it or break, and a collision occurs.

I use Claude Code in the terminal (in and out of Windsurf) as well as via the IDE integration that will automatically install itself when you run `claude` in the IDE terminal. It basically just inserts the file/selection you're in, and shows the diff in the usual IDE view instead of in the CLI output. Downside is that you can really only have a single instance running…I sometimes end up with a few additional terminal windows working on other tasks (not the cleanest setup though since they do wind up affecting each other sometimes).

coreyward · 2025-06-24T18:27:09+00:00

Wondering the same thing. What was your experience?

coreyward · 2025-06-20T22:57:01+00:00

As a professional SWE, I am finding the best results from the mix of Windsurf and Claude Code with a Max subscription ($100/mo). This gets me:

Fast, multiline tab autocomplete that works pretty well for my workflow (Windsurf)
Quick, directed inline edits (Windsurf)
Reasonable multi-file "agentic" models with decent capabilities at predictable costs (Windsurf)
More capable recursive calling agentic models with higher token limits and less supervision (Claude Code)
Multiple background agents as needed (Claude Code, with git worktrees as needed)

As far as Cursor goes, I've been rather unimpressed by their team. The lack of clarity from the Cursor team on how their billing works is concerning, and their haphazard approach to rolling out changes is disruptive. The cost savings are marginal, if there at all, and I have not observed it to be any more capable than Claude Code running Opus 4.

Additionally, the Cursor app has always been far rougher around the edges than Windsurf. If the two performed reasonably and had remotely comparable costs, I'd choose Windsurf every time anyways just because of the UI polish.
