- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 2 days ago:
That’s not going to be enough…the dude claimed “coast to coast” autonomous driving capabilities “by end of the year” back in 2016.

…Until they suddenly don’t anymore
- Comment on China’s CATL claims to have overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV battery charging time 3 days ago:
There are charging stations with 40 chargers delivering +200kW each, they’re powered by HV lines directly to transformers located at the charging stations. But most (all?) BEVs are only near max charging power for a fairly short period of time, and full occupation is also not seen very often. These large stations (and smaller too) are managed by load sharing, so in the theoretical case that 40 cars arrive exactly at the same time with perfectly prepared battery temperature and SoC and all connect at exactly the same time, they will just be capped by the chargers so the station doesn’t exceed available power spec.
- Comment on The Most Printable 3D Printer Yet 3 days ago:
A 3D-printed data strip encodes instructions for the printer as holes in a plastic sheet, which open and close simple switches in the motor controller. These switches control the speed, direction, and duration of the motors’ movement, letting the data strip encode motion vectors.
LOL, he made a punch card controlled printer…that’s really awesome and fun use of old tech.

Probably $3.5 tops
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 4 days ago:
The EU also tariffs them heavily
Yes, to tip the scales back towards fair competition pricing by offsetting the subsidies the Chinese brands are getting from their government. It doesn’t fully offset it though, they’re still quite a lot cheaper than e.g. VW BEVs
- Comment on The magnetic printing plate shifted early in the print - or something else happened? 5 days ago:
Then they must have use some impossibly shitty magnets to be able to drag the plate sideways like that. I can literally drag my printer across the table only by the plate if I try to pull it off lengthwise instead of upwards.
- Comment on The magnetic printing plate shifted early in the print - or something else happened? 5 days ago:
It coupe also be the nozzle getting caught on something so the motor skipped a few steps, I’ve had that happen once before and it produces this exact outcome.
- Comment on Is a Prusa Mini+ for $100 a good deal? 1 week ago:
It’s OK…nothing stellar or impressive, but acceptable and absolutely good enough for most light users.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 1 week ago:
That’s actually not gender specific, good looking people generally do better and are judged less harshly, regardless of gender.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 1 week ago:
Generally convictions are less severe for women though, so that doesn’t explain it…
- Comment on My favorite song of recent years I can't stop crying to on repeat was AI generated for my own pleasure. Crazy times. 2 weeks ago:
Music isn’t just making patterns.
Oh but it actually is, and there’s been loads of studies kn exactly what combinations of chords and transitions people generally find pleasing to listen to. Thats also why you can play literally thousands of popular song from throughout modern history with the exact same 4-chord pattern. This is extensively utilised by so-called “hit makers” when producing for this exact reason, is is near universally pleasing to listen to.
It’s also about telling stories through sound,}
To some, sure it is. But to the music industry in general it really isn’t, it’s about making a catchy tune (usually by method mention above) to make some money. It’s a sad reality of the industry, like it or not.
It can’t comprehend what it means to be human, and it doesn’t have deep thoughts that drive it to create.
Again, the vast majority of music hitting mainstream channels is pretty much cookie cutter production with no deep thoughts behind it, despite being made entirely by humans.
- Comment on Tariffs Make Repair an Even Better Choice. 2 weeks ago:
They’re produced in China…they’ll be pounded in to the ground with tariffs
- Comment on Bambulab A1 vs Sovol sv06 ace+ 2 weeks ago:
I’d probably go with the Sovol…both of these printer are going to take a beating with that kind of use and I think that one will be cheaper to service in the long run…and you’re going to service them a lot printing that much.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 2 weeks ago:
CR2032s are used in many things that require significantly more power than that, and this cell is absolutely unfit for almost all other uses than barebones old school digital watches.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 2 weeks ago:
Its not, power output is less than 1/1000th of what a cr2032 can deliver
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 2 weeks ago:
Not really actually…
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 2 weeks ago:
100 microwatts
This is a very important spec to include…this battery can deliver 0.003mA of power, which is incredibly little.
- Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 3 weeks ago:
The video 0x0 linked to in another comment describes the likely method used to infer distance to objects without a stereoscopic setup, and why it (likely) had issues determining distance in the cases where they hit motorcycles.
- Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 3 weeks ago:
The ridiculous thing is, it has 3 cameras pointing forward, you only need 2 to get stereoscopic depth perception with cameras…why the fuck are they not using that!?
- Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed 3 weeks ago:
If you think it shakes the part loose when moving print plate back and forth, try reducing accelerations and max speed of your Y-axis

IDK, a mousetrapper effectively does the same but doesn’t require retraining your entire workflow and still allows for precision mouse work.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 4 weeks ago:
You cant use it to create or manage workout plans
Bummer, that’s a pretty significant reason for owning a sports watch I would say, probably one of the most important features actually.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 4 weeks ago:
What features are you missing?
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 4 weeks ago:
AFAIK gadgetbridge is not even close to a replacement WRT functionality? Last I checked it only supported basic data import, has that changed?
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 4 weeks ago:
It really sucks, they’ve been spared from noticeable enshitification so far but I guess the line didn’t go up enough anymore…

That’s true, everything helps I guess

Key thing here is WAS…past tense, it isn’t anymore since the whole xitter debacle which forced him to sell most of his stocks in it.
- Comment on Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m just chilling over here pointing out facts that it takes more than bankrupting Tesla to financially hurt that psycho…
