Your website takes me back to the days of Geocities hosting, Dreamweaver, and FrontPage 98. Nostalgia level went up.

That’s your ultrasonic sensors. The millimeter-wave-radar was front only and designed for far focusing out front.

Data quality is always going to be an issue. In this case the reporting is based on an honor system. I imagine extrapolation using satellite imagery and mathematics on people mobility would be good for validation and correlation.

My Model 3 has radar. It’s no longer functional and just a useless appendage. Until 2020-21 all Tesla had radar but Musk directed Tesla to disable the radar from the software stack, nerfing this hardware on tens of thousands of cars. Why?

What is the AI analog for Tesla's level of robotaxi, where there's a "safety monitor" in the passenger seat or sans safety monitor there's a trailing guide car[1] and remote driver in Mumbai[2]? [1] https:/&#x

I wish I had this in the early 2000s. The theft of my carry-on bags flying with Alitalia turned out to be an organized crime ring of flight attendants and ground crew. They didn’t get caught until 2013, the whole rotten lot. Never flown wit

Uncle Joe and Aunt Lucy aren’t reading Ars Technica. You know where their eyes and ears are glued. Critical reading is reserved for the HN crowd.

Their vulgarity goes beyond tech and are unapologetic about it. They get to do it because mass media fails to call the lies. Over and over.

In the 12th century a Welsh writer named Walter Map wrote the line "no good deed unpunished, no bad one unrewarded". Not quite English but maybe he was already expressing the whimsy of the English kingdom.

I share the sentiment here about LLMs helping to surface personal tacit knowledge and the same time there was a popular post[1] yesterday about cognitive debt when using AI. It's hard not to be in agreement with both ideas. [1] https:

In Davos yesterday, our great leader was gaslighting the audience to believe that Europe buys wind power equipment from China whilst China themselves do not believe or use the very windmills they sell. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

I’d much prefer the other definitions of constitution: “Claude’s new vitality” or “Claude’s new gumption".

Looking forward to TeraWave. We need a minimum of two in critical services. Google and Microsoft and Apple. Anthropic and OpenAI and Gemini.

It’s still factually wrong to say 50% supported. Nobody knows that. 38% for Harris, 39% for Trump. Larger number wins. The other 23% who did not vote are null choice and could have made a difference.

> backed by half of the US voters False. People who say this don’t know that a large percentage of Americans don’t care to vote.

Yes, in the study they pinpointed this beautifully: “A fan betting on their team to win the championship is not calculating expected value; they are purchasing hope.”

It's just a darn shame that we're reduced to a simple measure of a single dimension, whether a right or left point on a single axis. You'll find many EV owners are multidimensional, a little bit up and down and all around an

As the other poster said, low effort reply. You can start with the Bam earthquake and work your way to the loss of Radio Farda. You beloved Musk put an end to the Middle Eastern Broadcasting Network.

Data visualization. This very phrase brought to mind Tableau. Their core principle was data visualization and then they were acquired by Salesforce and became enterprise software. A call to a eulogy for dear Tableau.
