I mean, I wouldn't hate it if they got into cars

An Apple Miata is the dream. Take the design team from the MX-5 NA days and marry it to Apple's design team. Both are exemplar in engineering and the result has me drooling as I day dream here.

Apple design is the polar opposite of the MX-5. The MX-5 is a masterpiece of mechanical design and function. Apple makes minimalist purely electronic fashion gadgets that are highly form over function and remove user agency.

The Miata is good at one thing which is being fun. It’s not good at being a car. Apple’s devices meet most people’s functional needs very well.

What does it mean to not be good at being a car?

It’s a terrific car if you want a great handling convertible at a low price point. As you said, it’s fun.

It’s not good at moving a lot of people or things, or going really fast, or lasting for 500k miles, or being as cheap as possible. Other cars are good at some of those things, but what is the Miata missing that is otherwise required to be a ‘good’ car?

I imagine it would be held together with glue and tiny screws.

And the charging port will be on the bottom.

And it'd be a nonstandard charger

This has worked fine for Lotus products such as the Elise

There's already Ferrari Luce

Ugh.

I would love it if I could afford it, but yeah, that's my point.

Stickshift option instantly gone, with a recall to swap existing manuals to automatic

I'm very glad those Apple Car rumors didn't materialize

Then you'd need special apple fuel, special apple wipers fluid, special apple tyres…

i dont trust academics to not be dumb idiots. hes working with ant but using gpt. and then he cries foul? i cry dumb first

cancer is more than one thing. probably wont happen until we can manipulate the "binary" of life at will and we're very far from that. maybe a few years of ASI would get there depending on compute

if we all pile in, itll be bank of england redux

May you live in interesting times.

how much should two walmarts be worth?

One SpaceX, of course.

Not just underhand, two hands between the legs

Have you seen this skit where guys take a picture of a guy and ask another guy if theyre gay or straight?
