A sample of one but ours did fail the inspection (suspension). It also experienced a complete shutdown of instrument panel on the motorway: not something you reproduce easily in a regular inspection but a pretty damn serious condition. Fail

Yeah well, our ID.4 did fail its 4-year inspection, but that's not even the worst among the things it did. (It's charging on the parking lot right now, unlocked because central lock has failed)

Even that's a generous reading, given that Y and 3 are essentially the same car.

Quite surprised about ID4 numbers. Ours in the shop a few times per year, and we often crack jokes about it with other owners.

Cheaper material isn't really an argument here. Common aluminium and titanium alloys are dirt cheap. Doubly so in aerospace context.

So essentially down to making one car huh.

Quality outcomes of top tech employers are still somehow lacklustre despite all that.

Grok was specifically coined by Heinlein in _Stranger in a Strange Land_. It's been used in nerd circles for decades before your undergrad times but was never broadly known.

There were/are countless engineers which are very like Woz. Just that engineers are worse positioned to reap the rewards of commercial success so you rarely hear of them.

They don't care. Musk stole a chunk Heinlein's literary legacy with Grok (which unlike prism wasn't a common word) and noone bat an eye.

Did that really happen in the United States? Certainly not anywhere else.

It is in fact not difficult to blame them.

I guess it's the matter of setting the expectations, both on SCADA and equipment side. Spent this weekend getting rid of that last sporadic alert…

I think it's regulated in places, as it was certainly an HMI concern ever since Three Mile Island. Our customer is really grilling vendors for generating excessive alarms. Generally for a system to pass commissioning it has to be all g

Earbuds often have features like mic beam forming and noise cancellation which require a substantial degree of processing power. It's hardly unjustified compared to your Teams instance making fans spin or Home Assistant bringing down a

Iraq at the point was not much of a coherent state, and Iran controlled militias (like the one that attacked the embassy) were increasingly running the show. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/soleimani-approved-attack-ir.

I imagine them coming together at some Bay Area house party on copious amounts of LSD or MDMA. One, the world’s greatest comic writer, who more than anything else wanted to succeed in business. The other, the world’s greatest businessman,

The whole PA phenomenology originates from the military, where hierarchy prevents direct confrontation. So subordinates lash out in ways that are harder to counter. I feel like it's a similar dynamic here.

It's a way to avoid direct confrontation via passive aggression.

It's the 21st century. Blowhards of the world united with the miracle of technology are moaning at any attempt of common sense regulation. This will become culture wars material right away.

I think you suppose wrong. A statement like "the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides" doesn't seam out of reach of an algorithmic procedure li

This is not a production system yet. Also, as someone who suffered VW/Cariad developed UI since 2021, it's going to suck balls.
