When the President’s mobile phone grift uses the US flag to sell e-waste and changes the number of stripes which officially dishonors the flag to stay 100% on-brand.
Don’t begrudge Jony for convincing Ferrari to let him design the car Apple gave up on.
It’s remarkable he had to start over, and got it done after 20 years trying.
Nobody you will ever speak to in your whole life will see this $600k car once.
So what if it’s entirely for him?
every designer right now is extremely conflicted.
On one hand we all have extreme respect for Sir Jony and the LoveFrom team. On the other hand.. the gut feeling that this feels more like a prius than a sporty, desirable, groundbreaking $640k Ferrari EV at first glance.
Even the sounds used in the reveal video feel more like Apple DNA than Ferrari
My former health insurer @capbluecross violated anti-trust law by agreeing to not compete to inflate premiums, and lost the class action lawsuit in 2020.
Settled for $2.67 billion.
Lawyers got $0.7 billion.
6 years later the class member payments go out.
I got $11.59.
USA!
@Mikekantorski@omg_tesla I would never choose HMG (team Forest Green all day) but...
HMG is objectively shapelier than Launch Green and Catalina Cove in person. The flatness nerfs every curve/edge.
Flake is light, flake is life. The Borealis sample also looked phenomenal.
@Hilbe The caveat is it totally works. Does what it says. Just with a sense it could’ve felt genuinely solid and pronounced, but is compromised.
@Rivian should keep plastic wheels on standard and use metal for premium. Or $200 option. It can’t cost 25% of that.
@Hilbe Painful answer. Free wheel + haptics idea is extremely good but totally kneecapped by material. I was so worried it’d end up like this. Hollow plastic, weak response. Easily the cheapest feeling part of car. Should’ve been best. Eat the BOM cost of cast alu. It’s the touch point.
Soooo @trq212 has straight up changed my life with these 5 words:
"HTML is the new markdown."
It's so obvious in hindsight: while .md is simple to write and agents can read it well, it's a total slog to eyeball as a human.
In this special ep recorded live at Code with Claude, Thariq walks me through how he:
- uses HTML artifacts as interactive specs
- builds throwaway micro-UIs
- maintains a living design system in HTML
- prompts Claude with "whatever is needed" to give it room to actually think
He also tells us what comes after the SWE + PM role 👀

@RivianTrackr@omg_tesla@Hilbe I saw this in Palo Alto and:
1. It’s 3D printed and looks homemade.
2. Those aren’t screws.
3. I think it's attached with a plastic receiver VHB taped to the bumper. It's a press-in rivet. Temporary.
I'm guessing Rivian is not shipping R2 to CA like this.
Oooooooof, you guys are putting up rookie numbers.
My last new computer sat in the box for 6 months easy.
I'm still using that 2019 Intel MBP to this day just to avoid the unbearable mental load of shifting machines.

It’s 100 KB of DOCX files.
Me: trying to use AI to convert them to plain HTML, but giving up after 20 minutes of Claude and Gemini churning for nothing.
Handwriting HTML like the heathen kings of old.
@WassymBensaid Software feature request for R2 folding mirrors. When folded + reversing, activate both side-view cameras as dual backup feeds on the gauge display for an easier time with narrow SF garages.
