I’m not insane, my ability to remember instances of my car trying to kill me is quite well developed. Are you assuming good faith?

I dunno what to tell you. It did it. A disengagement every 40 miles is not what I’m seeing on my car. (By the way, this is part of the reason Tesla owners get called Elon-worshipers: we see the sentiment in places like this, it doesn’t line

Breaking my own rule only once: My car, that I own as a consumer, drove me through town, on the freeway, through another town, and into a parking lot four hundred miles away. Twenty years ago, that was sci-fi. HN would have been able to rea

Usually HN engineers are able to compartmentalize and correctly answer questions like this, but it’s a lost cause with Tesla for some reason. They’re unable to separate “it did a dangerous thing, but did not cause harm” in their minds. Yes,

It’s highly disincentivized by basic game theory. Any individual sacrifice has highly negative effects on the individual player, and undetectable positive effects on the problem we’re supposed to be solving.

Nah, that brings the 200-400mi range to my mind, far outside of the 750-1250km range that I intuit is implied by single-significant-digit “1000km” in this context.

“1,000km (about 600-700 miles)” would feel better.

Not a Trump fan, but I think it’s fair to say that Iran felt much less free to be jerks during 2017-2021 than recently. Very early in 2017, Trump sent a bunch of missiles into Syria ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017

Sounds like effort is best spent on improving those processes, then, rather than worrying about personal consumption that doesn’t move the needle.

Let’s do some math to see if this qualifies as something to worry about. They say they’ve sold 4 million Picos. The packaging can get recycled, but let’s just assume every single Pico ends up in a landfill. How big a problem is that? Datash

How this will go: 1. Everyone will yell that FSD did this, ignoring that FSD doesn’t exist on these trucks yet. 2. Everyone will yell that it was a stuck accelerator pedal, or some other form of uncommanded acceleration. 3. People will forg

So if Musk isn’t special, he just happened to start successful business in the two hardest categories possible? Regardless of what you think about him, he’s good at something. It’s not grifting; there are plenty of people good at that who c

Remember, this isn’t really a moral judgement. It’s a “we get way too many chargebacks on these categories to make it worth it” judgement. Maybe we could see a thing where to purchase something in those categories, you have to call them and

Is there any reason I would deliberately purchase one of these over a standard 32GB drive? Trying to think of if there’s a case where I would want to trick some hardware into thinking it has a 2TB drive when it really doesn’t?

Usually cruise control refuses to activate below a certain speed, feels like it’s about 28mph in cars I’ve driven. If “many of the incidents occurred when drivers were parking”, this doesn’t line up. Unless VW lets you engage cruise control

Pretty… great? I remember 2019 fondly. Granted, I’m not a farmer, but I don’t recall people complaining much about grocery prices.

And if you’re driving, you can always stop at any gas station. Top off your tank if it makes you feel better, but realistically no one there is getting paid enough to cross reference gas buyers with poopers.

This is the worst possible outcome - now if I’m in a channel with someone who doesn’t like reactions for unarticulated reasons, I am subjected to these notifications and unnecessary clutter? Bollocks.
