helf

Just wanted to say that I love your content and look forward to new stuff. Thanks so much for putting the effort forward that you do! I’ve learned tons of the years following you :) greatly appreciate it.

I can understand if you already have a Tesla. What blows my mind are the people continuing to buy new ones.

That might be an understatement judging by the initial comments :) gets popcorn

Honestly, it seems the people most blown away by things like this are people who haven’t much experience in the various fields.

It’s easy to get amazed by something that can halfway do something you can’t do at all automatically. But as others have pointed out, it’s not that great at it and not knowing enough to do it yourself means you don’t know enough to catch and fix bugs.

So this move to using chatgpt and similar in production by people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to do things in production is worrisome, imo.

I like how many people poo-poo this.

There really is no reason you can’t use it shouldn’t use a 2012-2014 system in 2023. Even minor upgrades like an SSD are tremendously beneficial. And to the commenters going “try watching a 4K video hur hur!”… why? No one will argue that multimedia oriented stuff /doesn’t/ need, more often than not, beefier hardware. But let’s ignore the fact that most of the machines from this era that are laptops won’t have anything remotely approaching a 4K display. So it’s a moot point.

My personal desktop is an i9-13900k and it’s awesome.

My laptop is currently a 3rd gen i5 powered dell that works beautifully for everything I need or want on the go.

Up till literally 2 years ago my daily driver laptop was a p 2-300 with 192mb of ram, 64gb ide ssd, and a 10” 800x600 lcd. You know why? Because it did everything I needed for a portable system and the rare instances I needed more I could RDP into a stronger rig.

So, yeah, artificially limiting yourself on every rig to something old I don’t see the value of. But continuing to use, even as your primary portable, an older system is 100% fine.

“But they can’t edit iPhone videos!”

… smh

So much shrimp. mouth waters

If it weren’t for the fact being sequestered into a limited space with that many random people would make me lose my mind I would consider it.

Tbh I haven’t had a chance to game a ton yet in it but everything I’ve tried has been fine.

Buuut I only have a 2K monitor and the system is also massively overkill (i9-13900k @6.4ghz, 64GB DDR5 @ 6400mhz, striped PCIe4 NVMe drives, Optane PCIe OS drive etc etc). So I’ll be hard pressed to really notice any performance issues since I upgraded from an i5-10500 with 16gb ddr4 and a Radeon Pro WX5100 8GB lol.

I miss my voodoos! I used a voodoo 3 for yeeeeears. Had great alt OS support on top of just performing really well for what I wanted.

I used a voodoo 5 ago + physx pci PPU card + modded drivers for both for way way longer than is remotely reasonable lol. Wish I still had all that hardware.

If the voodoo. 5 had had T&L support in hardware I’d probably still be using it as that was the function that hurt it the most to not have later on.

sniffs

Ram them in a dual tualatin-s P3 OCed to ~1.7ghz.

I’m loving my A770. Absolutely zero issues with it and it’s handling raytracing and all with aplomb.

And? Just because one aspect isn’t scaling well doesn’t mean the rest being scaled is pointless.

Besides the fact they will probably figure out a way to either replace sram with something else that does scale better or they will figure out novel techniques to scale sram.

I do not understand the appeal of cheating in MP games. What is the point of being invincible in a FPS or unlimited gold in something else etc? It takes all the effort and skill out of it. It's like it's a buncha 12yos who cant stand "to lose".

Among other things.

Are you shitting me right now? Holy hell, they have GOT to start teaching reading comprehension again.

I briefly thought that. Then posted my comment anyways and.. wasn’t disappointed. Lol

So elucidate on it, please. I’m dying to understand my political opponents viewpoint.

No?

You care about the process node as a main feature? Really? I mean, it's nice and all, but the MAIN FEATURE?

People actually trust their crap to Storj?

That blows my mind.

Heaven forbid we have websites with semi standard form factors and layouts so you can actually use them without having to click around randomly for 10 minutes or hope the fancy design doesn’t break your browser.

I have zero desire to bring back the exciting mess of flash websites, vrml, etc etc. it’s bad enough that everything is endless scrolling now.

No.

Or autobahn

Man I miss MUDs. Anyone here ever play RockyMUD? I had literally over a year of actual pay time in that one. My accrued hours of play surpassed a year. That is with like a decade of playing though. But still lol

That’s cute that you think that.

We don’t live in a “just world”. There’s a reason a lower tier person like Holmes gets some prison and psychos like, say, Trump or Musk barely get a slap on the wrist.

GREAT comment.

I think a large issue is people are really bad at risk assessment.

Also, why the hell did they try doing camera only? Fucking dumb as hell. I would have trusted something like FSD a lot more if they had also put in very advanced radar etc. trying on fucking /cameras/ only for newer models should be a criminal offense.

I dunno man, according to another poster, I think FSD would probably give itself a safe driver rating of at least 85 for that.

Because the Tesla fans will cling to anything to further their arguments.

This is actually how I tell my kids to drive lol.

“Drive like everyone else is an impatient brain dead dipshit intent on killing you”

“Also, check your mirrors constantly. “

Also, the Tesla driving score reminds me of the Windows “Experience Index” score. Which was complete and utter toss. But made people feel good about their systems.

You are talking to someone who is excited about… The Future (tm). And will defend their purchase and choices to the death. So I doubt there is any reason to continue. The fact they even gave us their Tesla given “safety rating” like it was something to give a shit about says a lot.

We are all glad your car is giving you head pats and game badges.

Tailgating pisses me off. I don’t do it.

But this backlash to my comment about hard braking and wrecks is kind of hilarious.

Basically, my point is that Tesla has made egregiously bullshit claims about FSD and autopilot. They have given them misleading names. And people who want to “live in the fuuuuture” have eaten it up and are using the Teslas like they are actually capable of driving themselves 100% of the time. In all conditions.

If anything, it has made people who rely on it seemingly worse, inattentive drivers.

So while I’m glad y’all enjoy your purchased vehicle, don’t pretend all gripes and complaints lobbed at them are invalid or someone else’s fault. That’s asinine and childish.
