Yeah, its the same stuff that I've been told for decades now. TBH, it is probably less true with a lot of EVs than it was with the gas cars. ECUs are pretty strict and sometimes hard to hack. Meanwhile, third party motor controllers fo

Unbelievably, it was also 97% by GWh!

I think you are on to something there. I've heard executives talk about their current AI flow and it all sounds like summarization. There's an increasing amount of prose written that will only ever be read by LLMs.

There are small, ~20k cars in the US, but this isn't where most of the sales volume is. Trax starts at ~20k and isn't even that small.

I think it just comes in waves. Years ago, I'd see links to Twitter and replies full of crypto scammer. It has been a while since I've seen that problem to that degree, though there was a smaller wave of them a few months ago. Mea

Yep, and there will be self selection biases even among people who don't export fake data.

This is going to be another one of those things where most people underestimate it for a while. Growth in 2025-2027 will be absolutely incredible! The sharpest part of the exponential growth curve is just ahead.

There are some "where" issues with Tesla too. I have an intersection where it consistently can't tell that its view is obstructed. It'll just yolo into the intersection then pause (after pulling out into the lane) when i

by _ea1k 2y ago
I think I dislike it more on the highway than in the city, and I really dislike it around traffic lights. The highway lane change decisions are awful. Maybe the end-to-end NN version is better, though. I haven't been able to try it (hw

From reading the headline, I thought this'd be about brakes and was really confused.

Do we work at the same company? Don't forget the constant stream of meetings where noone takes meaningful notes, and everything just gets stored in a context-free diagram, or someone's head. It looks like literal sabotage in the l

Yeah, I'll worry about him suppressing liberals when he bans the onion for making a joke. Until then, I'll call it an improvement.

by _ea1k 2y ago
TBH, I've been on teams where the chat was a constant stream of activity. It works really well and involves a lot of people that might not be involved in decisions otherwise. I've also seen the room be quiet way too much on some t

While I don't like manufacturers doing this, the comparison to government gun registries is indeed strange. The manufacturers didn't compel buyers to provide this information with the thread of prison time, and perhaps more import

Noone ever lies or says sarcastic things on the internet.

Are those moments really that different? Motorola was practically the Netscape of the iPhone era, as those early Droids were everywhere. There were tons of others too, then it all imploded with only a few companies really surviving in the s

Lucid supports this directly too: https://lucidmotors.com/stories/introducing-rangexchange <10kw, so not super fast, but I bet most people are really close to the charging station when they run out.

Don't think of it as a standard as-in SAE, but a standard as in "molex", "AT", or "ATX". Yeah, they aren't really "standards", but they aren't exactly proprietary either and they also a

I should have been more clear. I meant the gauge cluster. TBH, having physical controls for things like climate, wipers, and lights makes sense. I can't imagine the cost difference is meaningful.

The touch aspect itself is really cheap. The big benefit of screens over "simpler" instruments is that regulations actually vary quite a bit across the world. Being able to use a screen that can display anything greatly reduces th

Yeah, Tesla has been really good at getting the whole package together with cars. The Model 3 is really the best EV on the market, IMO. It isn't the fastest accelerating. It doesn't charge the fastest. It doesn't have the lon

This really can't be emphasized enough. Universities and the initial hiring process really optimize for a score and not for learning. Those could be, and sometimes are, correlated, but it isn't necessarily the case. Really focusin

Yeah, it definitely isn't good enough to be used unsupervised. TBH, they've switched to eye and head tracking as the primary mechanism of attention monitoring now. It seems to work pretty well, now that I've had a chance to t

In this case, I do not think so. NHTSA generally does an excellent job of looking at the big picture without bias. Although I must admit that their last investigation felt like an exception. The changes that they enforced seemed to be fairl

by _ea1k 2y ago
The report from Tesla is very biased. It doesn't normalize for the difficulty of the conditions involved, and is basically for marketing purposes. IMO, the challenge for NHTSA is that they can get tremendous detail from Tesla but not f

Unfortunately there is also an AI training problem embedded in this. As Mobileye says, there are a lot of driver decisions that are common, but wrong. The famous example is rolling stops, but also failing to slow down for conditions is real

Because it is bad enough that people really do supervise it. I see people who say that wouldn't happen because the drivers become complacent. Maybe that could be a problem with future versions, but I don't see it happening with 12

Honestly, I'm not sure that I do. It feels like I do, as the deeper that I get into a complex system, the more clearly I can see the whole and how all of the parts interact. But if I try to draw it? Usually I'll lose state and can

I didn't go, but I saw the video that someone else linked. Also, during the event DirtyTesla was telling people that he was told they were remotely operated. I don't think he had insider knowledge, just answers from workers. I did

Quite a few people at the event asked employees about this and were directly given the answer. It wasn't a secret.
