Loved this when it was new!! Highly recommend it.
- Comment on Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves 1 day ago:
The part of the claim here where they wouldn’t upgrade the cameras is a part that I’m highly interested in.
I don’t expect tesla to upgrade any hardware beyond what they believe is required which they claim hardware 3 is.
But the moment a hardware 3 car can’t flip a switch and become level 3/4 SAE autonomous and a hardware 4, 5, 6 or whatever it is if/when solved, I think there’s a massive lawsuit there unless Tesla somehow upgrades the cars.
Suddenly the car didn’t come with the hardware required and can’t function.
- Comment on Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves 1 day ago:
He’s claimed before that he honestly believes it each year by watching the progress the past X months, but suddenly all progress stops as their method hits a plateau. So they keep changing methods.
It’s probably an honest mistake the first time or two, but he’s done this every year since and has no credibility anymore.
After being wrong by a year or two, he should have explained what was going in, and shut up about it, with a simple I don’t know when it’ll be ready buy you should see forward progress each year.
- Comment on NetBSD bans all commits of AI-generated code 1 day ago:
It was a fair question, but this is just going to turn out like universities failing or expelling people for supposed AI content in papers.
They can’t prove it. They try to use AI tools to prove it, but those same tools will say a thesis paper from a decade ago are also AI generated.
Short of an admission of guilt, it’s a witch hunt.

That or be scum enough to frame someone else for it.

We jam stuff into our body for all sorts of things.
Some require rejection meds for life. Others don’t.
- Comment on Neuralink's first in-human brain implant has experienced a problem, company says 1 week ago:
In one of the interview with Nolan he says he has full body spasms when he sits in the chair and those spasms take him out of position from being able to use the mouth stick controller. With neuralink he doesn’t need intervention by someone else post spasms to continue.

Fuck that BS :(

- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 1 week ago:
US Gov: Here’s a blank cheque, make it happen.
But really, the best I can come up with given this is clearly not impossible, is it would destroy the business, but I still think FISA could somehow bypass that given how broad and secret it is.
- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 1 week ago:
So couldn’t a court compel the VPN to log all IPs and then use some FISA level shit to prevent the VPN from alerting users?
There’s been a handful of VPN cases taken to court where they have proved, at that moment in time, that they had no logs to hand over. But why not take it that last step and compel the change then?
- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 1 week ago:

Why would that be a decided upon outcome? There’s gotta be a reason for that intention

Samsung’s 10x camera is amazing, I’m pretty miffed they dropped down to a digial zoom 10x though, even if it gives other benefits like higher quality mid zooms between the 3x and 10x.
I really hope they bring it back or someone else has a good 10x lens by the time I need a new phone.
Fuck only having a 3x
- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 2 weeks ago:
Dude, I was literally in another thread where someone posted a video talking about how many deaths FSD caused (17) and extrapolating those numbers by how many FSD miles were driven lead to fsd being 11x more dangerous than a humans driver.
It had all sorts of upvotes.
Except, those accidents were on AP which has multiple billions of miles driven, not FSD. The NHSTA has only said there was 1 fsd related death.
They don’t even know what they’re mad about.
I bet they’ve never seen, used, or had to acknowledge the warnings prior to using AP.

That comment was wrong
- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 2 weeks ago:
That number is like 1.5 billion now.
- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 2 weeks ago:
Anything remotely supportive of Tesla on lemmy usually results in massive downvotes.
You’ve angered the hive mind by suggesting people are actively trying to bypass teslas saftey system so they can be idiots thus making it not wholly Teslas fault.
- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 2 weeks ago:
You don’t have to disable it to beat the safety system.
They were all pretty much due to inattentiveness, though. Many were drunk drivers.
Many do use defeat devices as well, but not all.
This was all brand new when it first came out and we didn’t really have proper regulations for it. Things have gotten more restrictive, but people do still find ways around it and there’s no fool proof solution to this as humans are smart and will find ways around things.
- Comment on Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced 3 weeks ago:
I was thinking it’s more like their contingency plan for if unboxed was a catastrophe.
If they can actually pull this off, it feels like it’s too fast to be on a whim with no planning.
I do agree though it’s probably to keep shareholders happy as the cheaper EV landscape unfolds and they were falling behind.
- Comment on Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced 3 weeks ago:
if you can trust this company.
That’s the key point. After all the other delays, they need to show they can do something on time now to gain some of that back.
- Comment on Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced 3 weeks ago:
It was because they announced they were speeding up their plans for their affordable next gen vehicle earlier than already announced, which was H2 2025
Now it’s late 2024/H1 2025
They are ditching their next gen “unboxed” production method to do this however and leaving that for the robo taxi. The vehicles will be a hybrid if their next gen tech and existing tech. They claim the new models to be released will be built on the existing manufacturing lines, getting them to over 3mil vehicles a year.
These will be more akin to a gen 2.5.
Robo taxi will be gen 3
If their unboxed plans work with the taxi, they’ll use it for other vehicles in the future.
- Comment on Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced 3 weeks ago:
Autonomy is not a pipe dream. It might not happen with Teslas sensors, and it might not happen for many many more years, but it will happen.
There’s nothing unattainable about it with sufficient technology

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Ah gotcha. They’re just inherently less performant in some/many cases but that provides a benefit in some other way.
- Comment on Killing the Middlemen in the Rideshare Industry 4 weeks ago:
It’s the cryptocurrency that keeps it tamper proof.
Any blockchain can be altered they aren’t immutable by nature.
What keeps it immutable is the incentive provided and to not cheat so you can get that incentive.
The whole thing is trustless and everyone is working together aligned on the incentive.
If it doesn’t cost resources to secure the chain (which get recouped by the reward) anyone could just spin up a bazillion nodes and take control of the chain and alter the records.
If it’s a small private blockchain to just keep track of data, people could collude and alter it.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Are those frameworks so poorly written they can’t be optimized then? That’d have a pretty substantial impact if widely adopted.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Not gonna lie, writing code in various ways can be more efficient processing time wise, but often at the cost of complexity, or readability or time to code it.
As phones have gotten faster, and depending on what I’m working on, I’ll take the easier to code and read route than the absolutely best optimized route.
Although there are definitely times you still need to optimize
