It's kind of an interesting phenomenon. I read something on this. Basically being born between ~1980 and ~1990 is a huge advantage in tech.

Exactly, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai / Kia, etc have systems, they're just nowhere near Open pilot.

I used Open Pilot for ~4 years. According to connect I have 8,000 miles on Comma 2, 20,000 on Comma 3 and 2,000 on Comma 3x. I recently sold my Rav 4 and went to a Tesla. Open Pilot is actually better in a lot of ways than default Tesla auto pilot, especially because it doesn't do crazy fantom braking on freeway. Open Pilot is also way ahead of pretty much every lane assist / adaptive cruise control systems.

Obviously, FSD is way ahead of e2e open pilot with navigation, but since Open Pilot can apply very little torque to the wheel, it can't do anything gnarly. I actually trust Open pilot more at this point but I guess I just need more time with FSD. Some of that is because longitude was Toyota controlled until I used the e2e longitude model more.

Even on "chill" mode, FSD will make random quick lane changes to turn only lanes to try to get around traffic. This is 12.5.2. Even so FSD can get me from point A to B with no interventions 98% of the time.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. It might be hitting too close to home for some. But yeah, 95% of developers choose things to do to boost them for the next job.

First of all, no one even lives in the places Mammoths would live. Second of all, they can't be any more destructive than the Argentine fire ants that I deal with every year. You can't get rid of them; you only need to slow them down with bait. They're literally everywhere and spreading.

If you drove 150 MPH on an American road you would end up 100 yards into the woods flipping over 90 times, after hitting 1 of 65 potholes that are 4 feet deep on the interstate.

Yeah, there is. It's called everyone having an automated driving system like FSD. The NHTSA is too concerned with me taking my eyes off the road for 2 seconds while FSD is enabled versus getting manufacturers to actually implement this stuff.

Why can I take my eyes off the road with FSD off and not with it on? They should mandate driver monitoring in every car when you're not driving with an autonomous system. As a motorcycle rider also, I'm telling you that everyone is literally on their phone when driving. I can see it all because I sit higher than everyone else. That's what the NHTSA should focus on.

Tires are just one of the many things that have gone nowhere. There has to be a better way.

Solar is faster in the short term (because people think it's somehow "clean") but not sustainable in long term. It requires too much land and upkeep for not great output. It would be better to go all in on nuclear and surrounding technologies and solve energy once and for all.

The only thing that's going to solve climate change is technology. It's the same technology we've had since the 50's. Not turning off our lights, setting the AC to 80, drinking through paper straws, or clearing thousands of acres for solar panels.

I don't know why anyone cares about this stuff. You can literally do whatever you want on your private branch. If you want to make your life harder, that's cool. Just squash into the main and call it a day. None of this stuff matters anymore, like it did when I started my career.

Interesting archaic theory, as me and my wife just lost 40lbs each by eating a ton of fat and protein, haha. If you want to lose weight, stay away from sugar, for example carbs

If you're taking Vitamin D and Vitamin K like you're supposed to, these are the last things you have to worry about.

But somehow butter and lard are bad, that's how this whole thing started

It's not meat and dairy; it's meat and dairy...with carbs. It's why societies that only ate saturated fat we're fine until they started eating carbs. Then they started dying off and getting diabetes.

Steak and eggs are not bad for you. Steak, eggs, toast and pancakes will kill you.

I was just talking about this a few months ago. In my opinion, single-payer dental insurance should be provided before health insurance. If a country has single payer but provides no dental insurance, it's a waste, as a lot of issues start in the mouth. We're at the forefront of a lot of this right now (as well as gut health).

Yes, we might have different stresses as a species now, but I'm not sure we have any more stress than we had thousands of years ago.

3M, an entire company built because people couldn't figure out how to cook with butter anymore.

To be fair, you can use a custom server with Next.js too.

Yeah, I don't think people understand how much pre-prod work is done. For the next 5 to 10 years this what it'll be used for. In the next 20 years, 90% are out of work.

Same here. And it's starting to look worse and worse over time. Before CGI was used to enhance a scene. Now no one shoots a scene in camera and adds CGI later (think Transformers / Jurassic Park), the whole scene is just CGI and it looks like crap.

AI has already written the last few Disney movies, so why not animation?

Onlive did Stadia in like 2009. Not really innovative.

You also have to be willing to be put out good content that isn't written by ChatGPT, which, as we've seen, Disney has been unable to do for quite some time.

This. I've always wondered why these companies are trying to create content for audiences that literally don't exist. It's really only shown up in the last few. years.

I can always tell when it's a Next JS site because the enter button doesn't submit what looks like an obvious form. Not really Next's fault, per se, just the users of the framework.

You must have fallen for the marketing / naming then. Autopilot is basic adaptive cruise control and lane assist. Every car manufacturer has the same thing. Are you thinking FSD?

I'm not sure why Tesla's adaptive cruise control with lane assist is under more scrutiny than any other manufacturer. Every car has it at this point.

Modern frontend dev

Keto weight loss has been incredibly fast for me and my wife. We were both at almost 10lbs a month which was probably too much. I've been off for around 2 months and haven't gained anything back, but still staying lower carb, but higher quality. Making better choices. Still not drinking calories which is a big one.
