The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.

Someone told them the problem was just “too many variables”, so they figured by taking away sensors, there are fewer variables. Therefore, better self-driving.

It’s still nowhere near any standard we should expect to trust this technology, which is a flawed solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist.

I believe a huge chunk of Tesla’s valuation is based on their automation tech, despite having very little real success towards full automation. So they have to focus on that and try to prove they can deliver.

But I’m guessing they won’t succeed, as there are fundamental flaws with the technology itself, that can’t be solved by throwing more sensors at the problem.

It was a crisis a decade ago…

Starting to think that all war is crime.

Switched to Fedora at the beginning of the year and couldn’t be happier.

The majority of my time isn’t spent writing code; it’s reading code, reviewing changes, and thinking about code.

It doesn’t actually need to make money at the moment, just drive value for shareholders.

If you ask them to respond like a politician they answer all your questions with something completely different.

Precisely. And if someone can’t be convinced not to spend thousands of their own money on a transportation method in order to cover less than 1% of their trips, I don’t think they can be convinced at all.

I mean, I wasn’t even talking about cottaging, yet you insisted on bringing it into the conversation. You seem to want coverage for specific “edge cases” but I don’t think you’re open to any actual things that address those.

Solutions that cover a majority of use cases are better anyways. These edge cases are minor problems that aren’t relevant to the majority of transportation needs.

Going to a cottage once a year doesn’t require you own a car for the whole year.

Sometimes it’s both of those things.

I’m sorry, do you expect the government to build a train to every cottage? Ridiculous /s

There’s a difference between “I have a cottage that I visit 2 times a year” and “I live in the middle of nowhere and can’t possibly survive without a car!!” that a disproportionate number of people claim.

Over 80% of Canadians live in urban areas, yet much more than 20% seem to think they live in such a rural environment that lowering car usage is impossible.

Apparently all Canadians live in remote cabins several hours away from the nearest town, based on the “how can I live without a car” replies I’ve gotten over the years.

Uh oh, you’ve awakened the crypto bros…

Some sports broadcasts literally tell you the betting odds during the broadcast now, it’s kind of disgusting.

They only turned around because there weren’t enough maggots to throw on all of the economy passengers.
