Fundamentally, what is it that prevents the established auto makers from making changes mid lifecycle? Seems like Tesla keeps pulling it off; why can’t GM? Is it that the component specification+acquisition cycle you describe is optimized t

There’s a lot of chemistry as part of the chip making process. Water is often an ingredient mixed with concentrated nasty stuff to get less concentrated, but still nasty stuff. Then they do something with it (like wash a part), but you can’

100% agree that I’d love to see them release more raw data. It’d be fascinating to dig through. I wonder if they have some internal cultural scarring from the TSLAQ debacle. People were weaving (now verifiably false) damaging stories about

You’re missing the point: Random bystanders are run over by human drivers all the time. But when a human driver makes a mistake, we can’t analyze what happened and push out an update to everyone else.

Do you have a link to that case? Sounds really interesting.

There’s surprisingly little regulation for GA aircraft. Curious what rule you think they were breaking?

What industry do you work in? Sounds interesting to have many satellite images streaming in!

There’s a difference between instances and data. GP is saying that if someone had a damning graph of large-scale statistically-significant data showing AP is crashing more, we’d be talking about it.

It’s akin to sitting in the passenger seat of a car - you can be idly looking out the windshield, not really thinking about driving, and your brain will freak out the moment the driver doesn’t do what you expect. It’s like my brain always h

I’ve only driven a Tesla with Autopilot once, for ten minutes or so. By the end of it, I was struck by how much more time I was spending looking far ahead, or looking in the mirrors for longer. It felt like I switched to farther-field situa

I was thinking about this - if I were a stalker, I wouldn’t bother with any physical device. I’d just add myself (or an innocuous looking account) to “share my location” on their phone. The non-HN public would probably never notice, and it

It is scientific fact that countries which start censoring for “correctness” in increasingly many categories end up being Not Great places to live.

At some point, a committed stalker has access to lots of other options for stalking that are easier than the AirTag game.

This is kinda fascinating - factually true statements about FSD are blanket downvoted. Why is that?

by mwint 5y ago
This was all not FSD beta; those were all on the completely separate public stack.

Hitting the brakes in the middle of an intersection is very safe. What exactly would the machine evaluate in a couple seconds that it can’t do instantly?

by mwint 5y ago
Right, nothing should ever be built unless it can be 100% correct immediately. I’m stunned that it hasn’t, so far as we know, actually hit anything yet. I’m not sure how, but clearly they’re doing something right between choosing drivers

Keep watching the HUD pane - before the driver takes over, it corrects and decides to go straight. In fact, it's turning the wheel to the left before the driver stops the correction. I think this is a navigation issue. This is exactly

Step through the video frame by frame; you can see the car begin turning back to the left before the driver takes over. He actually stopped the left turn; the car would have recovered quicker without his actions. Not that the driver was w

This looks like a weird navigation failure. It certainly shouldn't have made this maneuver at all, but it's provably false to say it would have run over the pedestrians... this frame shows it: https://i.stack.imgur.com&

So they’re going to use this to stop people spreading harmful misinformation, like, say, the conspiracy theory that governments would create vaccine passports, or that a virology lab in Wuhan might have been involved in a virus that came ou

I may be completely wrong, but I remember reading some spacecraft have a couple “streams” of data. Control signals tend to be encrypted (don’t want a backyard idiot wrecking your spacecraft), but for most other things the limited bandwidth

I sleep with my watch; my routine has become “charge it while showering”. The ten minutes or so a day is usually plenty to keep up with my usage. Series 6 40mm GPS only.

I don’t really understand this comment. I don’t think I’ve even read a press release from SpaceX, most of my exposure to the Starship program has been to videos of Starships flying (and often exploding)… and then another one flies soon afte
