- Comment on Has "Self-Driving" devolved? 2 weeks ago:
Heh, I guess I should have phrased that differently.
But yeah, it’s actually really courteous. Sometimes a little too much. It’ll move over to the left side of the lane if it sees a cyclist or pedestrian on the shoulder to the right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t understand when there’s a 3 ft concrete barrier between me and the pedestrian and will do it anyway. Makes some narrow bridge crossings a little scarier than necessary.
- Comment on Has "Self-Driving" devolved? 2 weeks ago:
The first Model X has Autopilot 1 which was a system designed by Mobileye. Tesla’s relationship with Mobileye fell apart and they replaced it with an Nvidia based system in 2017(?). It was really really bad at the start as they were essentially starting from scratch. This system also used 8 cameras instead of the original 1.
Then Tesla released AP hardware 3 which was a custom-built silicon chip designed specifically for self-driving which also enabled proper navigation of surface streets in addition to the just highway lanekeeping offered in AP1. This broadened scope of actually dealing with turns and traffic from multiple angles is probably where the reputation of it being dangerous has come from.
My HW3 enabled Model 3 does make mistakes, though it’s rarely anything like hitting a pedestrian or running off the road. Most of my issues are with navigational errors. If the GPS gets messed up in the tunnel, it’ll suddenly decide to take an exit that it isn’t supposed to, or it’ll get in the left lane to pass someone 1/4 mile from a right-exit.
- Comment on $250 Analogue 3D will play all your N64 cartridges in 4K early next year 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but you still need to install the cores developed by the community in order to play ROMs.
The necessary core for ROMs was released barely a day after OpenFPGA support was, but it wasn’t released by Analogue.

- Comment on $250 Analogue 3D will play all your N64 cartridges in 4K early next year 2 weeks ago:
The console doesn’t officially support ROMs. It must run games off the original hardware carts.
However, there’s a fairly simple hack to get ROMs to play on the SD card slot of the Analogue Pocket that many suspect was unofficially developed by Analogue themselves.

Yeah, but given the number of morons pumping gas into Home Depot buckets, etc, it’s amazing more folks don’t die.

Was waiting for him to talk about how insane gasoline is. Highly explosive, comes out of a hose, no special training required to dispense it. No oversight.

Not saying OP is fibbing but I used to work alumni soliciting and they’d absolutely track your call duration and success rate. If you spent that long on the phone, you’d better have something to show for it.

My solution? Buy an emulator handheld and get into retro gameboy games. Just finished Yoshi’s Island, Link’s Awakening DX, and working on Oracle of Ages.
Having missed the gameboy in my childhood, I’ve been surprised by how fun and engaging the titles are.
- Comment on The Reason Why the iPod Is So Popular In 2024 1 month ago:
MP3 players are commodities now. Anyone who just wants iPod functionality can get it cheap, and there are even upmarket options for audio files with support for things like low impedance headphones that the iPod never supported.
There’s just not enough room in the market for Apple to re-insert themselves.
Also, they’d never ship a product that couldn’t somehow use AppleMusic.

Like not only are we intelligent life, we look like this, and we look like this on the inside, and we have technology that can see ourselves on the inside. And we just thought you’d find that neat.

If it used the notification display to show your most recent calculation reault, that might be useful. I know some apps mis-use the notification counter for other things.

- Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it? 2 months ago:
Because the fix in the movie is really a bandaid. It was provided by a private party for profit, and next time if it’s not profitable, it won’t work.
I mean, it’s not like individual people can stop a doomsday asteroid, so the metaphor kind of breaks anyway. But there is a bit of an assumption in the environment sense that technology will somehow solve our problems when the real problem is us.
The ozone problem only got fixed because in that case there was a 1:1 replacement to the offending technology. There isn’t a 1:1 replacement to fossil fuels. It will almost certainly require some kind of societal change.
- Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it? 2 months ago:
Don’t Look Up: have the plan to privatize the asteroid defense operation actually work. The people refusing to look up think they were right and refuse to acknowledge how much danger they were in. So even if the world is saved, no lessons are learned and nothing is made better.
Feel like that would fit the climate change/COVID metaphor better.

Well most of the suggestions in this thread constitute malice.
I think it’d be pretty easy to argue that something is fishy when the phone that’s supposed to be tracking your driving wasn’t with you on the date of your accident and hasn’t moved since you started your policy.
