razemio··on Apache ECharts
You know how a presenter asks questions on a topic where he is the expert? Same goes for this animation. It does not show but hide information to keep the reader engaged. I found myself guessing who will be first and boy was I wrong. My ego would have prevented me from noticing, if the chart would have been presented to me right away.

On YouTube you can see how well this works. There are channels with a huge follower base just existing because of this animation.

razemio··on Trump's Tariff Formula Makes No Economic Sense. It's Also Based on an Error
Not sure if I understand you correctly. I just watched a Youtube video explaining the formular. The Youtube user checked all 160+ countries. All have been calculated with the formular. So there seems to be no Motivation in this sense. All have received the same broken treatment.

That is true and it works. Response times however are worse compared to the paid ones. If this is not a concern it works really well.

I just checked the current numbers on FSD Tracker. It is at 95% now for the last 30 days. That's a number I would call reliable under supervision. It is way higher than it used to be. It was at 73% when I checked it the last time.

The name does not matter. In the terms it has to say L5.

Joking aside... 95% of the drives are with 1 or no manual disengagement. The disengagement does not have to be critical. I would always disengage to park because I am faster. Is this not enough to call something FSD?

Haha :). I would have liked this name.
razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Why does full mean to you never to interact with the car. This would mean L5 driving. They never claimed that. Even the mercedes system which is L4 is only working under certain conditions.

All the names you have given suggest, that it is not capable of managing a complete trip but it is.

If you do not need to do anything for 95% (often 100%) of the trip, which is true for most FSD drives, this would not qualify as FSD for you? Then we can end this discussion and just have different opinions.

razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Again. Present a name, which fits and describes the capabilities of FSD. It can under certain circumstances drive a route completely on its own. This is not a lane assist, not (advanced) Cruise Control, not HDA and not Super Cruise.
razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
This isn't true. The autopilot in a plane does nothing but keeping it's course. In this regard it does less than cruise control. It will not even disengage if you forget it is turned on some planes. TCAS will warn you ahead of time, that something needs your attention. This isn't failsafe. You can not (irl should not) do something else, like reading a book, while autopilot is in action.

There is a study which links autopilot to 19 crashes and 175 minor incidents (which have been reported) sine 1983. If you take those numbers an put it into perspective, how often planes crash in general, it is not minor. Same goes for ships.

Not sure about other countries but in Germany L4 is only active on freeways up to certain speeds. The video you linked is not showing this. At least the parts where I skipped through.
razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Automatic means something different. Here is the definition of what an autopilot is:

The autopilot controls the watercraft or spacecraft without the need for constant manual control by a human. Autopilots do not replace the human operator, rather the autopilot assists the operator in controlling the vehicle or aircraft, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of the operation. (Wikipedia)

I do not like Tesla but to this day I don't get the outrage about their autopilot capabilities. It 100% fits the definition of what an autopilot does.

razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Why is it named like this on ships or planes then? You most certainly need to intervene, when other vehicles are approaching. Just because this happens less in those environments, the name autopilot certainly fits.

If you go back in history, Tesla was one of the first manufacturers, to provide something more than just a lane assist. It is fair in my opinion to search for a different name, that distinguishes yourself from the competition.

razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
It most certainly is. Is it reliable? No, not at all. However there are many YouTube channels showing certain routes, where this car is capable from driving itself from a to b without the need of manual intervention. Including parking.
razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Why? It is capable of full self driving. That has been proven numerous times. It is however not capable to do this all time. I ask again, give a better name that describes the function FSD currently offers. It is most certainly not a lane assist.
razemio··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
I think I already had this discussion on HN. I am not sure why most people think autopilot is hands of the wheel without looking. There literally is no autopilot, which does not require constant attention from a human. This is true for planes, ships and cars. Hell this true even for most drones.

FSD is very much correctly named. It does not say you can go for a sleep. It just means, the vehicle is capable of full self driving, which is true for most conditions and something most cars are not capable of. How would you have named it?

I distrust those benchmarks after working with sonnet for half a year now. Many OpenAI models beat Sonnet on paper. This seems to be the case because it's strength (agent, visual, caching) aren't being used, I guess? Otherwise there is no explanation why it's not constantly on top. I have tried so many times to use other models for various tasks, not only coding. The only thing where OpenAI accelerates is analytic tasks at a much higher price. Everything else sonnet works for me the best and Gemini Flash 2.0 for cost effective and latency relevant tasks.

In practice this perception of mine seems to be valid: https://openrouter.ai/models?order=top-weekly

The same with this model. It claims to be good at coding but it seriously isn't compared to sonnet. Funny enough it isn't being tested against.

razemio··on I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days
React in my experience sucks with AI. In fact I have not yet encountered a "heavy" framework which works well. Use something light like svelte.

Typed programming languages like Typescript, Scala, Haskell and so on will produce more errors -> you need to fix stuff manually. However it will also reduce bugs. So it is a mixed bag. For an error free experience python and JavaScript work very well.

When it comes to tooling, if you haven't used cline, roocode or aider (not as good) yet, you haven't seen what an AI can do.

A good starter would be starting fresh, by creating a README which describes the hole application you want to build in detail and let the AI decide the tech stack. You can most certainly build complex applications with an AI in blazing speed.

Can you clarify what tools and programming language you use? If find that the issue often is wrong tooling, exotic programming languages or frameworks.
razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
Sadly only my personal experience across multiple years. I think I was selfhosting my mail for about 5 years. Multiple Hetzner root servers using mailinabox and later mailcow. All self checks green.
razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
With fine you mean not in the SPAM folder the first time? That would be an improvement.

Also works for Microsoft services?

razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
Maybe it is (was?) a German problem. Here are some providers I know which Autoblock custom servers:

* web.de

* gmx.net

I also have to say that I always used a hetzner root server. Moved multiple times due to an upgrade.

I ALWAYS had to manually apply for removal of my Webserver. It worked for Yahoo. At that time it did not work for Gmail and Microsoft. I no longer was blocked but if I was writing for the first time to a recipient, I landed in the spam folder.

The software I used mailinabox and mailcow. Both had self checks. All green. I also used external scanners to check my config, all fine. You can check my GitHub (razemio). I even contributed to some issues for mailinabox.

This is not only true for selfhosting but also small providers. As an example:

* mailbox.org (auto spam Gmail and microsoft 2018)

All of this was a long time ago. Maybe I am just depressed from the bad experience and the FAQs are telling the truth. However it is hard to believe for me.

I am selfhosting since 1997 and I am working in programming / DevOps.

razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
This FAQ is in complete disregard of reality. Almost all IP ranges of server providers are blocked. Getting a clean IP is close to impossible.

Big providers often only support their own forms and ignore open sources trust providers.

Small providers often do not maintain their email services which will simply auto spam your mail/domain, when it does not come from the big 10 providers.

razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
Yep, this did not work. I tried for several years. The only thing that worked was manually filling out the required forms. Not sure if it changed lately. Out of the self host mail business for some years.
razemio··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
I tried for several years. There where to many issues. Even a perfectly configured mail server landed in spam folders of smaller providers. Had to constantly whitelist my server manually with the big providers. For 1-8 dollars a month, it was simply not worth it for me. Switch to encrypted mails where privacy matters. It is not like my emails land on private servers anyway, so the privacy aspect is more of a symbolic gesture than a real thing.
razemio··on Crossing the uncanny valley of conversational voice
I asked if speaking in German would be possible and the result was if someone is trying to speak German without knowing any word. However, I asked if a german sentence could be repeated after me and it was insanely good. Impressive tech!
razemio··on How to run GUI applications directly in containers
I am not (only) a docker dev but a developer using docker tooling for my development environment. Feature wise docker and flatpak are not even comparable IMO. Just wanted to make a point, why flatpak is not (yet) an option for some people, and projects like this are very welcome.
razemio··on How to run GUI applications directly in containers
I think this depends on your use case. As a dev I would take dockerized gui applications over flatpak all day, as it allows me to quickly add additional packages and networking for example. The possibilities would be endless while all can reside in a small docker-compose stack right in the repository.
razemio··on Waydroid – Android in a Linux container
Since this needs 3d acceleration I would guess this does not work? Waydroid is insanely good with this (when it is running).
razemio··on Waydroid – Android in a Linux container
TFT from Riot Games would be a good example. Protected by Vanguard so you can not use wine. However you need an arm device, since they do not publish apks for x86.
razemio··on Starship Flight 7
I ignored those, since the starship at this stage can be considered a prototype. I am just trying to argue, that calling SpaceX unreliable, especially compared to its competitors and time to market, is bold.
