🚔 HUGE #Tesla SERVICE PROBLEMS THREAD🚔

You might remember my 3 prior threads on how
TESLA. TREATS. ITS. CUSTOMERS. LIKE. TRASH.

Here's the 4th installment.

 Welcome to Greta's 4th edition of #Tesla customers getting used and abused. Because that's the Elon Musk way.

"The best service is no service." - Elon Musk a.k.a. #SpaceKaren

#Tesla $TSLA $TSLAQ 3/22
These #Tesla customers represent just the very tip of the iceberg. They are ones who have Twitter, have decided to complain about their #TeslaServiceIssues publicly, and were found by yours truly.
@yanismydj @hajelatweets @AlanHeldman @francislongo5 $TSLA $TSLAQ 4/22
Dear #Tesla customers: In California, if your vehicle has been out of service for >30 days total, it's a lemon. You can get punitive damages and attorney's fees. Don't sit around and take Elon's abuse. @13arm13arm @cecimar12 @richardson_skip @shootinglee $TSLA $TSLAQ 5/22
Is this "FUD"? I didn't make any of these customers complain. #Tesla and #SpaceKaren did.
@scorpionstriker @nd3423 @rammler31 @twit0007 $TSLA $TSLAQ 6/22
"1 year later, still being fobbed off."

"The worst thing is, I adore #Tesla, in love with the brand, the cars, everything about the mission... I've even referred 21 people in the past year."

I feel bad for the other customers in this thread. Except this guy.
$TSLA $TSLAQ 7/22
Dr. Earl Banning, Kristen Yamamoto, Kim Paquette, Bonnie Norman, Omar Qazi, Vivien Hantusch, Chao Zhou, Alex Voigt, Sean Mitchell, Sofiaan Fraval, Ben Sullins, Gali Russell & Ross Gerber.

None of these #Tesla cultists will help these customers. #SpaceKaren $TSLA $TSLAQ 8/22
Still waiting for "reporters" Simon Alvarez, Fred Lambert, Johnna Crider, Vincent Yu, Maria Merano, Evelyn Arevalo, Eva Fox, Matt Pressman, Tom Randall and Tim Higgins to write a story on #TeslaServiceIssues.

Nah. Let's write about a tunnel rendering instead. $TSLA $TSLAQ 9/22
"I am having a problem with #Tesla not paying off my trade in of my Tesla Model 3. Today is the cutoff date for the payoff otherwise the interest will accrue further."

$TSLA $TSLAQ 10/22
Hey Sawyer Merritt, Jessica Meckmann, Tilman Winkler, Sean Mitchell, Eli Burton, Warren Redlich, Mayur Thaker,
David Tayar & Gary Black, when you stock pumpers get a chance, maybe you can help real #Tesla customers?
@jamielbridgers @Cars_are_fun @brandstefan
$TSLA $TSLAQ 11/22
Here's something interesting, maybe Fred Lambert will get right on it: #TESLA IS STILL SCREWING PAYING CUSTOMERS OVER FAILING MCUs
$TSLA $TSLAQ 12/22
🚨 "As I approach my 4th year in my #Tesla, I contemplate what is more useless... the ever-malfunctioning $80K whoopee cushion on wheels they named the Model X or the miserable customer service. Other than that I love it." @djedmcdonald @sshenoy76 @walkingdisabled @mlap1 13/22
Oh boy, we are a long ways away from being done. Just imagine how many other #Tesla customers there are screaming into the void. @darrensc0tt @jeffbodeau @bholdmph @mmichaels $TSLA $TSLAQ 14/22
Hey @ValueAnalyst1, you've got a big bullhorn, do these #TeslaServiceIssues concern you even a little? Or are you back to stonk price bro?
@will_walsh @michael60702066 @jonskatz @BrunoFracassa $TSLA $TSLAQ #Tesla 15/22
More and more and more customers are getting completely fed up. Thankfully, customers also have the Niro, Ioniq, Taycan, I-PACE, Leaf, ID.3/4, Mach-E, and many Chinese EVs to choose from.
@dadsoutrunning @JackSonmez77 @IrvRodriguez_ @ChrisHubert80 $TSLA $TSLAQ 16/22
Go ahead, #Tesla cultists. Accuse these customers of "spreading FUD". I dare you.
@plugincarguy @dallals @bkane720 @codingmark
#Hypocrites #TeslaServiceIssues $TSLA $TSLAQ 17/22
Look at the timestamps on each of these #Tesla customers' tweets. These are all new, all recent since my last thread. This is not "FUD". This is an ongoing, worsening, and irredeemable crisis.
@jeuno @raffaeru @sasikanaparthy @mbentz99 $TSLA $TSLAQ 18/22
Remember how Omar Qazi tried to take down this account? Or how #SpaceKaren's trolls engaged in a concerted effort to suspend this account? The truth is right here, and they don't want it to get out. @lisastockwell @mcrown33 @TechPreacher @WeberMarty $TSLA $TSLAQ 19/22
"Tesla Service is ridiculous. Only care about Q4 delivery and stock price." Well said, @niravp44
@neveratrueword @go_go_electric @drmarkevin $TSLA $TSLAQ 20/22
Tent made garbage. Trash quality service. That's the #Tesla way. #TeslaServiceIssues
@MrNYC @davidcwg @bmwm32008 @aamorosojr6 $TSLA $TSLAQ 21/22
Not even #Tesla tequila customers have been spared from the harm. Hey @PwC, what's the tally for how much Elon's going to make from ignoring these customers?

I will never stop. Because Elon never stops screwing people over.

Java was first released in mid-1995, just 6 months before JS.

By 98, when I went to college, Java was already used for all the first level courses in the CS program.

How did it catch on so quickly (just 3 years) to shift university curriculum, which is usually so slow/behind?

I wonder why Java was so respected and JS was not? Why/how was Java already seen as such a stable and mature language?

Not just Java, other languages (like python) were also released around/near 95, and also seemed to get to "mature" respect status. much quicker.

I bring all this up because my impression of Java in 98 was that it had been around "forever" (as had C++ first developed in 79, but not standardized until 98!), but that's not. true at all. These were all new languages around the same time.

I'm sure the language designs had different merits, and the target applications meant a different perception and reception, but...

it sure seems like the industry (and academics) just decided Java and C++ were the stable mature ones and langs like JS were toys.

BTW, before you assume JS was nascent/immature b/c the web wasn't much of a thing yet, remember that JS was actually released as LiveScript on the server before it was released in a browser. So "server-side JS" was always part of the story, not just Node 15 years later in 2009.

So it turns out that Google Chrome was making everything on my computer slow *even when it wasn’t running*, because it installs something called Keystone which is basically malware.

I made a website because this shouldn’t

Wired first reported on how bad Keystone was 11 years ago when they put it into Google Earth (they seem to put it in all their popular

The fact that Keystone hides itself in Activity Monitor is bizarre. (The only sign of it was excessive CPU usage of WindowServer which is a system process).

I don’t know if Google was doing something nefarious with Keystone, or a third party figured out how to (which Wired warned about). But either way, I’m not inclined to give Google-the-organization the benefit of the doubt (despite the many good people who work on Chrome)...

...since it's been a decade+ and this still hasn't been "fixed".

There is no reason for auto-update software to need to do what Chrome/Keystone was doing. It also has a long history of crashing Macs.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.

Ever wondered how the JVM debugger 'Evaluate' feature works in IDEs? Long ago I thought that the Java debug interface (JDI) actually allows you to specify the expression and get back its value.


However, this is not quite possible: there's no Java language compiler inside the JVM. When the process is paused JDI allows you to read or write any variables and fields or even execute an existing method with given arguments. But nothing like addition or multiplication.

On the other hand, #IntelliJIDEA debugger allows you to evaluate even statements! You can write there `for`, `if`, `while`, `switch` - whatever. You can even declare local variables. So how this works?


The answer is simple: IDEA debugger has a built-in interpreter for Java! If you access an existing variable or a field, call a method or instantiate an object, it queries JDI. Otherwise, IDE itself does all the calculations.

The amusing thing is that debugger authors didn't bother to make it as strict as Java itself, so the language inside the interpreter is a much more permissive version of Java. For example, you don't need to initialize variables there! Default values like 0 are used automatically.

Why was @LudwigAhgren's Twitch stream yesterday a masterpiece in creating live content?

Ludwig started off with a high energy intro with background music that sounded like an entrance theme to a WWE wrestler (or a Saturday morning TV show).

He then moved onto a segment where he attempted to break a 'world record' for speedrunning Unban Bingo.

(a trending piece of content right now, with in-jokes with the Twitch community and funny content that can be repurposed for YouTube).


Ludwig follows this up with a 20 slide presentation on 'how to make it big as a streamer'.

He engaged viewers into chat by asking them to vote directly in chat temporarily, which perfectly broke up what could have been a 'boring' presentation (spoiler, it wasn't boring).


He follows this with a Q&A and answers as many questions as he could, again, engaging chat.

THEN.... we get a PogChamp emote tier list of every PogChamp so far.

If you know me, you know I don't like broadcasting details about my personal life on this website, but I have been getting asked why I'm not doing Christmas this year so I just wanna put this whole mess to bed. First of all, I don't agree with gay marriage... (1 of 4,625)

... full of dog food and she said, "I'm pretending this is ice cream! Treat me like a baby!" and proceeded to hump her own arm and I thought, "something tells me this isn't the real Norah Jones"... (117 of 4,625)

...cost me $7,000. I had to put it on two separate credit cards! It wasn't 'til I got to my car that I realized "that's way too expensive for one onion." But I didn't have time. Amanda Seyfried was begging to change my diaper... (1,001 of 4,625)

...another Christmas miracle. Mistletoe, stockings, sleigh bells, snow! All these things I have put up my ass. The taste of coffee... (2,974 of 4,625)

...I felt a *very* cold finger on my cheek and I turned around and I said, "Grandma?" and she goes, "Surprise, I'm alive and I work at Sears!" I said, "okay"... (3,047 of 4,625)

On December 25 Mr Pool retweeted August 16 message about the Phoenix and that the worst was still on the horizon to come. 1/*


Maybe now we can assume that November 3 message meant "FUD" nor "FUN". Putting the word in capital letters seems to indicate the aspect the word fud has in our space, FUD. 2/*


Brad started it on December 22 (1/3 posts (Don't say? Sure) = 13 = Plan B). 3/*


And immediately the SEC followed dropping the bomb (1.3 billions (Don't say? Sure) = 13 = Plan B). 4/*


FUD materializes, Bitstamp is one of the first that haltes XRP trading and so on. 5/*

Yoga Ramar Temple
#Nedungunam
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Yoga Ramar Temple is located near Thiruvannamalai. Shri Rama is seated with eyes closed, without any weapons. Mata Sita  pointing to the feet of Rama telling that  everyone is safe at his feet. Lakshmana standing near Shri Rama


Hanuman is seen chanting Vedas obediently sitting before Shri Rama.

Sthala Puranam says that, Sukabrahma Maharishi had been doing Tapasya here, for the darshan of Sri Rama. Prabhu Shri Ram, pleased with his tapasya, came here after Rama Ravana yudham. Since Rama was returning


after the war, he did not have any weapons with him.

Another gopuram called Kili Gopuram is there for Sukabrahma Maharishi. There is a hill nearby called Dheergachala. According to Sthala puranam, Sri Padham of Prabhu Rama are found on the top of the hill


It is said that this is the place where Shri Rama gave darshan to Suka Maharishi. Nedumgunam means which shows all qualities of Shri Rama who is Maryadha purushottam. Shri Ramanavami is very famous here.

Jai Sri Ram

Can we control the output of neural generation systems?
Can we build a better chatbot using this control?
And what makes a good conversation anyway?

Check out the blog post for our NAACL paper:

This post got a little delayed since the paper's publication, but the intervening time has given me an opportunity to reflect.

So this post has some extra thoughts regarding more recent NLG developments - e.g., pretrained models like GPT(2), and the suitability of beam search.
