Can’t wait for you to no true Scotsman me after I tell you I’ve never seen what you describe in my 30 years living in Europe.

This just reads as you having to get to say what you just said. You’re explaining a very self-evident concept to a bunch of intelligent adults. Yes, negating someone’s personal issues by saying someone has it worse can be unhelpful. No, wor

I’m surprised that so many highly analytical minds (such as HN posters I’d assume are) mistakenly believe that whatever crisis may or may not be at hand would be solved by individual action as instructed by some vague institutions or organi

Predictable by whom? I’ll tag you in 30 years when nothing of significance has happened.

How many wrongs do you think will make a right? Shouldn't we strive for a solution that uplifts everyone rather than limiting the aspirations of those who were historically exploited? It's not about denying climate change or the n

What you should and shouldn’t trust is entirely subjective, I have no reason not to trust the stats Tesla has released. If Autopilot wasn’t good enough to warrant releasing those stats, they simply wouldn’t. You’ll have to do some deeper st

The driver literally has to pay attention by contract. It’s not a matter of if the system is good enough or not.

There is no independently verifiable data in a great many publications of various large companies for obvious reasons. That’s why they’re legally forbidden from releasing bogus data.

There are all kinds of spots around the country where FSD will make mistakes with a high likelihood. Tesla has already released stats that plainly state that while autopilot or FSD are engaged, accidents are way less likely to happen than i

What are you talking about? This forum is 98% mindless Musk hate just like all the other left-leaning forums.

What about the part about it that says it’s in “beta” and requires the driver to pay full attention at all times?

The experiment that demonstrably makes cars safer than a human driver? Why would people not want to be a part of that? I sure do, I want to be safer when driving.

I mean, I’ve seen worse arguments for socialism, but you seem to be painting an overly rosy picture. Yes, computers can reproduce software at zero marginal cost, but there’s still a considerable investment in the initial creation and ongoin

“Most cases” is a wildly subjective statement to use here. For my current job, I’d use an hour more for my commute if not for my car. For my previous one, it would be an hour and a half. I live in the second largest city in the country.

So you have any idea how small the defense budget is compared to social programs (let alone their sum) like the ones discussed in this thread? The numbers are all public, just look them up. The US doesn’t spend a particularly interesting pe

Billionaires are wealthy because the companies they own stock in are successful. What are you going to do, make them sell the stock to pay someone else’s living? It’s a rhetorical question by the way -- your position is not very defensible.

How much are we willing to pay to save people who are beyond saving?

Wish it was that simple. Modern diets and mainstream diet guidelines are terrible for us, but going back to a hunter gatherer diet for everyone on earth isn’t all that realistic either.

It’s like a hater bot just spewing out mindless hate. Funny how that works.

What is your time worth to you? If your time is worthless then of course waste it and use public transportation, but for me every hour I spend on unnecessary transportation is $120 in straight income and immeasurable from losing out on time

Which criteria of the level 3 does FSD fail? I don’t understand since it seems perfectly capable of driving by itself under many, many circumstances, many towns being among those. I just looked at the graphic behind your link, and FSD fulfi

That’s an awful lot of speculative text about a person you seem to know next to nothing about.

Do these long distances require the driver to drive more than say 6 hours without stopping? If so, why? It’s a problem of charger infra, not range. We’ve already solved range.

Yet to see other auto manufacturers come anywhere near Tesla’s driver assistance system.

In the EU, universities rarely have sports leagues you’re right in that, but all universities have various kinds of organised clubs and events all the damn time — not a week goes past without a lot of extra-curricular activities, of course
