- Comment on [HN] Sweden is testing a semi-truck covered in 100 square meters of solar panels 1 year ago:
Generally speaking, solar panels aren’t optimized for near-constant traveling.
Do they mean it can’t get a net positive amount of energy produced while driving it? Because, relativistically I don’t see why near constant speed is different from being near stationary for solar panels.
- Comment on Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night" 1 year ago:
Oh man I definitely agree here. I’m a huge fan of that “better than a human” threshold. Roads are already very dangerous. One of the wildest things I’ve noticed is highway driving at night in very rainy conditions, sometimes visibility will be near zero. Yet a lot of drivers are zooming around pretending they can see. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone when it happens.
- Comment on Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night" 1 year ago:
I didn’t say FSD was an LLM. My comment was implementation agnostic. My point was that drivers are less forgiving to what programmatically seems like a small error than someone who is trying to generate an essay.
- Comment on Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night" 1 year ago:
Other than that it performed flawlessly for over 40 minutes in a live demo.
I get that this is an alpha, but the problem with full self driving is that’s way worse than what users want. If chatgpt gave you perfect information for 40 minutes (it doesn’t) and then huge lies once, we’d be using it everywhere. You can validate the lies.
With FSD, that threshold means a lot of people would have terrible accidents. No amount of perfect driving outside of that window would make you feel very happy.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years 1 year ago:
When you get a MacBook you don’t need to worry about finding and downloading an external app for almost anything
I don’t think that’s really a fair complaint against Windows when Microsoft got sued for doing exactly that.
- Comment on Mayim Bialik Declines to Host ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Amid Strikes, Replaced by Ken Jennings 1 year ago:
Bialik’s delivery of questions is really good. The only downside of her hosting is she sometimes has very long pauses before she says someone is correct. I’d heard speculation that it’s because she made a slip up early on when she awarded points for an incorrect answer and the producers wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Since Ken is arguably the Jeopardy goat*, he’s much less likely to make this type of mistake.
*Brad Rutter should be up there because he beat Ken a few times in tournaments of champions and was unable to have Ken’s streak because Brad was from the 5-wins-and-go-home era.

Do you mean a war in space with spaceships? some war on an alien planet? Or a war on earth?
- Comment on A young Julia Stiles as a hacker in 1994 episode of PBS show 'Ghostwriter' (41 second clip) 1 year ago:
Don’t forget to tell them that Samuel L. Jackson played Jamal’s father.
- Comment on 'Incorporated' was a tv show with a cyberpunk world from the perspective of a corpo 1 year ago:
I was legitimately thinking of posting about that to this community, but I want sure if people would think it’s cyberpunk because how heavily corporate it is.
I thought it was a pretty good show. If I recall correctly there were no public police, only private ones. Explicit price tags on justice always seem like a bad idea.
