Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Agreed that Israel could have taken another path the last couple decades, but it's also unreasonable to omit that they are surrounded by neighbors that want to kill them. Iran and their proxies.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
There are are actual genocides happening in the world.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Oh please. Hamas's primary mission is the elimination of Israel. Wearing that bandana obviously shows support for Hamas.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Good comment.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Equating Trump to the systems in China/Russia is absurd. You have no concept of what losing free speech really means if you think that's an accurate comparison.

Not saying that what's happening with ICE is okay. But it's a very sheltered view to think that is at all equivalent to what happens in those countries if you actively protest against the govt.

Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Yeah, of course democrats would support that much more than with Trump doing it.

Same goes the other way of course. Republicans would be much more against it.

You don't know anyone who wore the scarf?
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
* don't know why
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Yeah fair, it's not like there were massive campus protests.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
So you want you elected leaders to save Palestinians (perfectly reasonable), but don't want your elected leaders to consider doing something out when thousands are being massacred in the street?

You really think if the US wasn't supporting Israel, no one would have cared about Gaza?

Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Nah, that's Muslim colonizing. Look up Zoroastrianism.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Same with Venezuela. Latin America could have acted for decades. But nothing ever happened.
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
I think if Biden was taking a lot of the same actions the Trump admin is taking, people would support it a lot more (Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, maybe even Gaza).

Of course then the right would be protesting foreign interventions.

Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
* don't see anyone actively supporting
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
People seemed to care about the Myanmar and Chinese genocides. Muslim victims. Non-muslim oppressors.

But Central Africa, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, etc? Extreme suffering. But the activists don't activate.

Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Panama
Rover222··on Iran students stage first large anti-government protests since deadly crackdown
Yeah I see anyone actively supporting the Iranian regime, just that they're apparently not interested in the cause of the people protesting and being massacred.

I think it's just an instinct to oppose anything the current administration supports. Same with Cuba and Venezuela.

But it consistently aligns them with some of the most suppressive regimes.

Venezuelans are glad Maduro is gone. Iranians want the US to do something. Lots of Cubans as well.

Rover222··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
The current model 3 is about $29k with inflation from 2017. They didn't quite hit the mark, but it's not like they're wildly off.

It's not a mystery, regardless of if it's dumb or not - the market is pricing in likely dominance in robotics, both cybercab and optimus.
Rover222··on The Future of AI Software Development
yes, agreed that coding (implementation), which was once extremely expensive for businesses, is trending towards a negligible price. Planning, coordination, strategy at a high level are as challenging as ever. I'm getting more done than ever, but NOT working less hours in a day (as an employee at a product company).
Rover222··on CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC
"In an emailed statement, CBS said: “THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options."

Show me the Fascism, please.

Rover222··on AI is going to kill app subscriptions
A lot of apps that people subscribe to are for the network effect (dating apps, workout apps, etc).

Just because you can develop and/or run something locally on the cheap, doesn’t mean it’ll have the same value.

Rover222··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
Yet another virtue signal law in Europe that won’t actually have the desired effect.
Rover222··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
Yeah it’ll happen this year. Please mark my words.

Waymos get stuck in weird situations every day. They need intervention, even on their guardrails. FSD is of course not perfect, but yes they have obviously cracked the code (it’s obvious if you use it or get beyond the groupthink here), and are being cautious with turning off supervision requirements. As they should.

Rover222··on AI safety leader says 'world is in peril' and quits to study poetry
I mean what do you actually propose?
Rover222··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
I don't think you understand that the level of autonomy that anyone with FSD currently has. It drives itself for hours with 0 interventions. Someone did a coast-to-coast drive with no interventions. Yet yeah somehow I'm just a confused fan and you're not biased by politics?

They will turn of the supervision requirements soon, and suddenly there will be hundreds of thousands of teslas that can drive themselves.

The skepticism is hard to get.

Rover222··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
I swear the current IOS keyboard is gaslighting me for some reason every time I use it. It's like a low-key torture.
Rover222··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
Yeah millions of miles per day in autonomous driving for Tesla. Yes it's still supervised (somewhat, you don't have to pay much attention anymore) but the technology is absolutely there and just being refined at this point.

Waymos are geofenced, restricted to certain roads, and have remote humans in the loop at lot more than most people assume.

Rover222··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
ya'll are so biased because of politics
Rover222··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
The industry is already concluding that Tesla made the right choice with vision-only. Their technology is the clear leader in the space (Waymo is good, but much more on guard rails in terms of its limits). Jensen Huang probably knows what he's talking about.

Waymo is too deep in their complex hardware stack to do a hard about face at the moment.
