Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s totally believable that FSD experience is very uneven across the country. Hopefully they will keep improving the system.

I often engage it on city streets, esp. when I’m tired, because it does reduce the stress of driving for me. Last winter, when I was driving a lot on Spain highways, I really missed something like FSD or even a simpler Autopilot in my renta

Thanks - that might indeed be the case. What I'm referring to in my original comment is FSD Beta, which drives mostly by itself but requires constant driver attention (hands on the wheel, eyes on the road).

I was partly responding to this comment: "Their software feels years behind what most cars have these days.". I think it's the other way around - the best software offered by conventional manufacturers (the best they can offe

I'm reading all the comments criticizing FSD, and I honestly feel like we watch two different movies. My Tesla drives me from home to work, or from work to a downtown restaurant (granted, all within Silicon Valley where they probably h

Here is GPT-4 answering your question: “When Sally returns, she would look for her ball in box A, as that is where she left it before leaving. Sally is not aware that Anne moved the ball to box B while she was away.”

It is no Q, but I really like Wolfram Language for its expressive power. Look for example at this solution[1] for problem 8 - highlights the fact that Parts 1 and 2 are essentially the same. [1] https://twitter.com/vkryukov&

On the contrary, it’s a very, very good news for an average Joe. Every sufficiently advanced technology starts very expensive. Then capitalism and progress do their job, and it becomes available for masses. The path to “make it cheaper” i

Respectfully, I disagree with that premise. That clearly hasn’t happened with OpenSage, Maxima, or half a dozen other old open source computer algebra systems, many of which were around as long as Mathematica. If the open sourcing a system

How about defining you own PlotTheme and setting $PlotTheme in init.m? It’s been supported since version 10, I believe.

I’m a big, big fan of Wolfram Language - as a recreational mathematician and programmer, there is nothing else I would rather do my explorations with. As always in these discussions, I expect many people will start complaining about how e

Facebook did offer you two ways to recover: a) provide your driving license or credit card (a reasonable offer, IMHO) and b) reaching out to your three friends online. I agree that in b), it sucks that once chosen, the 3 people cannot be ch

I highly recommend “The Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing and Thinking” by Barbara Minto. It will change the way you think about communication, especially in a business context.

I’m a very happy ReMarkable 2 user, and I have pre-ordered it more than a year ago which means I don’t have to pay anything. Yet I think the linked page is an example of a terrible marketing: instead of highlighting the benefits of the pr

Not a lawyer, but “steal customers from your competitors” is a really bad framing - see a recent discussion on how Google (or any big company, really) educated people to never use such words.
