Something something, all models are wrong, some models are useful.

To be fair, this particular deviation we are seeing in the ocean temps was knowingly and intentionally caused by changing the environmental regulations around sulfur content. So it’s a weird state to be in where the environmentalists are

I don’t think that’s how it works. With these drives the AES encryption is always being done by dedicated hardware on the drive, but by default the key is just a random value stored in NVRAM. When you do a “secure erase”, the drive will int

I think the problem lies in the fact that this is a necessary but not sufficient component of the cycle. There’s also an interesting micro vs macro level distinction.

Has anyone tried filing a class action lawsuit? How about an FTC complaint for unfair and deceptive business practices? This seems like a great case.

I can’t help but reflect how much of the tragedy, conflict, and war in human history has been caused by these agencies run amok. What’s striking about these MKUltra type programs is the magnitude of horrible things stemming from a relativel

Damn. It’s really impressive you were able to turn that treatment around into such a motivating force. I often half-jokingly say I am raising my kids too cushy for them to ever create something extraordinary. Extraordinary achievements take

What Tesla has deployed and continues to develop is absolutely an L2 DAS in its current incarnation. One day, if they are successful, you will see them rollout L3 operation. I would expect this to happen on highways first, and then off-hig

It is not. The FSD Beta enables an aggressive attention monitor which is not active with the basic AutoPilot system. The nag when FSD is enabled is actually quite annoying. Even glancing over at the screen for more than a second will trigge

I wasn’t trying to be cheeky. I must have misunderstood your comment? As I understand it the L3 system is limited to limited access highway roads, < 40mph, and no lane changes. Those are its limitations, and I believe they are self-impos

Actually they are both legally autonomously driving according to SAE. You should read up on it! “SAE International is the world’s leading authority in mobility standards development.” Forgive me if I’ll take their internationally recognized

You’re right, their older cars don’t have their most advanced system. When I said “on the market” I mean the cars they are selling now, not historically. I’ve found the system extremely adept at gaze tracking and alerting. The cabin camera

I maintain that the Mercedes system is “capable of” what it can functionally be deployed to achieve by a user. That’s what “capable of” means. If Mercedes wants to try its hand at a universal L2 system, I wish them the best. This system is

One is a universal L2 autonomous driving system and one highly limited L3 autonomous driving system. They are both considered forms of autonomous driving. [1] - https://www.synopsys.com/automotive/autonomous-driving-lev

> They are not even betting one cent in their car safety. Do you mean strictly in the sense of accepting liability for crashes while AutoPilot is engaged? Because Tesla makes safety a primary selling point of their vehicles. Objectively

This is a great example! I hope people will take the time to click and watch it drive. I think it’s a tough call in this case. The Tesla is trying not to block an intersection where a light is green but there’s no room to clear the intersec

It’s bizarre and absurd to claim a system that’s driven billions of miles “doesn’t work”. I really like how Simondotau put it. These are wildly different systems. Benchmarks can always be rigged and I see this move by Mercedes no differen

It literally is a “limitation of the system”.

People forget the status quo is millions of deaths and trillions in property and economic damages. Moving slow condemns millions more to die.

Mercedes could also ship their own L2 AutoPilot without having to take legal responsibility. Their customers would love it as much as Tesla drivers love theirs. The thing is, they just aren’t capable of it.

I used to think that V2X road infrastructure was a major necessary component for self driving. I no longer hold that opinion. The “self-driving” infrastructure would not be magically any better than the “human-driving” infrastructure, and h

This statement makes no logical sense. Their systems are “capable of” what they can be used to achieve in actual operation. It’s not like it’s this massively sophisticated system for FSD with most of the code commented out. These are purpos

“Limited access highway” is a different thing, and that’s the roads this system will engage on. Zero pedestrians, unless you know, a climate protest is shutting it down.

Interesting issue with the U2F account lockout potential - due to the anti-phishing protection and the domain name changing I assume?

Or maybe they lack either the wisdom or experience to understand the extraordinary danger that comes with ceding privacy and autonomy to an unaccountable government.

How did I miss this?! Amazon employees had unrestricted access to all stored and live Ring video? Just one employee they mention used it to watch 50,000 videos of women in their homes… And they paid just $5.8mm to settle.

You have to factor in the block reward, that pays for a lot of electricity.
