I can't really help with what you're specifically looking for, but I'm pretty sure my grandfather worked on these as an engineer. He retired from Boeing in 1985. Died almost 20 years ago.
Indeed, this can be way further optimized.
For example, you can probably do a wasm-strip and wasm-opt passes that would leave the wasm file being ~5-10Mb. Still very big, but a bit more reasonable.
The good thing is that thanks to Nuitka you could actually do some tree shaking and only include the imported files and not everything in between (although this might break other behavior such as eval and so).
Hertz also had absurd policies like bring the EV back 100% charged. Which is basically impossible unless there is a DC fast charger adjacent to the rental car center.
Yes. This was the policy I saw when I considered renting an EV in Phoenix. We were only going to be there for 27 hours and our hotel did not have its Level 2 charger operational yet, so we opted for a gas car instead.
I rented a Bolt from Hertz last December and their policy at the time was:
“Return your EV at the same charge level as pick-up and pay $0. Or return your EV at any level for a $25 Recharge Fee.”
They were pretty lenient about the return charge — it was close to 100% to start and 80% when I returned it, but they didn’t charge me the $25. Even if they had, the EV rental rate was cheap enough that I would’ve still come out ahead vs. renting a gas car.
I'd been hoping projects like wasmtime could end up looking like a Docker alternative for server side things. Do you think that's unlikely to pan out without a lot more work that doesn't seem to be happening?
A lot of those are powered by wasmtime or WasmEdge.
If you’re wanting to be able to just pull down a random app and run it as wasm, that’s inherently harder with wasm, because you have to recompile, and amazing compiling stuff is always harder than it should be. For example I compiled jq to wasm to other day, so you dont have to worry (as much) about the CVEs that was issued recently. https://github.com/rockwotj/jq-wasi
Repeating what you said in my own words to ensure I understand it.
I think you're suggesting they might have a canary fleet, but there wasn't anything/enough that preventing a mistake from bypassing the carry fleet before going to production?
I hadn't heard about the Volvo one! I had a 2022 Volvo C40 before I got my Rivian R1T.
When I first got the Volvo the GPS and LTE connection would periodically stop working for a day or two. They pushed a fix for it. Later they added CarPlay, which wasn't there when I got the car. Good updates. But not as frequent at Rivian.
Was Volvo able to fix it with another OTA or did people have to go in for service?
Beats being so poor you can't afford a car, or the only car you can afford is slowly rusting itself away or one no-longer-mass-produced part away from making a repair out of your financial reach. I'd take bad OTA updates anyday.
Seems like this batch of half baked cars receiving OTA updates are more likely to be the ones that are in repairable in the not so distant future, whereas parts for a 1990s toyota gmc or ford anything can be found cheaply and installed by any ambitious teenager.
GP is referencing the "having the being stolen from stolen".
Nevermind that the wealthy ain't fretting for one second over OTA updates. Imagine a personal vehicle budget where the Porsche is technically your daily driver, but you never drive it because you're driven everywhere.
