Got a new M4 Macbook Pro and somehow I have Python chewing up 100 GB in one process and 30 GB in another and the machine is just super happy, smooth as silk. Getting a bit hot doing some kind of neural network prediction stuff, but sailing through! (Would be faster if it wasn't swapping at all...)

On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.” So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?

“Demand is off the charts!” Elon Musk crowed at the end of 2023, citing more than a million reservations for Tesla's polarizing polygonic pickup—so why has it still sold less than 50,000?
