  1. Sounds quite a bit like the pitches for FSD 1-12, to be honest
  2. In this tweet, it shows the autopilot disengaging at the last second. There's been a huge disparity of accident reporting where "autopilot/FSD wasn't in charge!", even an NHTSA investigation about it https://www.motortrend.com/news/nhtsa-tesla-autopilot-investigation-shutoff-crash/ They found a number of incidents where autopilot "on average aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact."
  3. Lol 52-80 just posted a TLDR in the business board about 5 minutes before your post. Did the newsletter just go out or something?
  4. Pretty impressive how clear and consistent the response to Mark Rober has been from TSLA bag holders. If y'all are so confident, recreate it yourself and prove him wrong lol. Video only is never gonna work as well a sensor fusion with LIDAR. Thats been the state of the art since like 2022, and the tech is not expensive - especially on the scale of car component costs. ESPECIALLY if he's already charging $10,000 for buggy software that kills first responders cops and firefighters and paramedics because the cameras couldn't see them in time. It's predictable at this point how quickly the team dynamics come into play to find a reason to just not engage with thinking and be outraged instead. FSD is a perfect product and MUST NOT be challenged!!!!
  5. Sounds everyone's favorite bogeyman Auntie Pho is at it again amirite
  6. They're gonna be shit outta luck, already out of the country and the door is barred for anyone who disrespects Dear Leader
  7. Who's "they" in this sentence?
  8. Weirdly I saw an apparently dead bird just lying on the ground walking my dog this morning. Thankfully he wasn't interested in sniffing it, but I haven't seen that before. Kinda spooky
  9. FWIW you should consider ripping that media to a hard drive. Disc rot is real, and a minor manufacturing defect can lead unreadable media after a decade or two
  10. Yeah this is actually a nothingburger IMO - the trump children lost their SS in 2022 or so. So yeah, maybe a little early for Hunter but it seems like "adult" children usually don't get protection
  11. They probably shouldn't name it "autopilot" then, just like they shouldn't name it "full self drive"

    3D Printing

    Aw man I was hoping to see an ARM core for prusaslicer - that would be a game changer and I would think the computational architecture is nicely aligned. Nice bit of functionality if you've got your prusaprinter on the network though Print-wise I just finished a 4 plate 800g ship for my D&D group! I found the model on thingiverse but the project was abandoned and the .obj's were corrupted and wouldn't load into my slicer (neither bambu, cura, nor orcaslicer!). Fortunately I was able to load it in a model viewer and re-export it as an STL that would load, even with a couple thousand non manifold edge errors that it resolved in a minute or two. This is the "medium" boat and I also have repaired the "small" boat model and gotten it to completely fit on 2 plates! Anywho, really looking forward to unveiling it next session! Its in-game scaled to be 90ft by 20ft on the main deck
  13. It's weird, some boomer family friends cracked a Hunter Biden joke over the weekend. Who the fuck cares about that coke head with a big dick?? Holy shit it's wild what people will get decoyed with
  14. Those fabs are gonna lose a ton of the reasons that brought them to America if/when the CHIPS act is killed by Herr Trump
  15. Lmfao what are you talking about? Ian Miles Cheong is a preferred news source in the Daily Texan
  16. Pretty good bit of real world proof on LIDAR vs cameras from YouTuber Mark Rober
  17. Some good time lining of how the Administration actively worked to defy the courts
  18. The executive is now fully ignoring the judicial branch, and it's orders. BBC: US deports hundreds of Venezuelans despite court order Planes carrying more than 200 Venezuelans deported by the US have landed in El Salvador, hours after a US judge ordered the Trump administration not to do so. El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, wrote on social media that 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had arrived, along with 23 members of the international MS-13 gang, on Sunday morning. Their arrival in the central American nation came after a federal judge blocked US President Donald Trump from invoking a centuries-old wartime law to justify the deportations - something Bukele made fun of in a later post. "Oopsie... Too late," he said. The move by the US to send alleged criminals from other countries to El Salvador was an arrangement US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously called "the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world". Bukele wrote that the detainees were immediately transferred to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) "for a period of one year", something that was "renewable" - suggesting they could be held there for longer. "The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us," he added. Rubio confirmed the alleged gang members arrival in El Salvador and thanked Bukele, calling him "the strongest security leader in our region". Hours before, on Saturday evening, US District Judge James Boasberg ordered a halt to deportations covered by Trump's proclamation, which invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The law allows the government to detain and deport people threatening the country's safety without due process.
  19. It's terribly frustrating how the most cancerous world leaders always manage to cling to life and power. It takes social chemotherapy to get over a bad run with one Yep. We're in line next for our turn
  20. Drawing a bullseye after throwing the dart is not "long term planning" lol. Further, forcing regressive consumption taxes like tarrifs and sales tax (to replace income taxes) is going to reduce consumer spending. Tovarich, this IS trickle down economics at work.
  21. Rather in line with what was said above... The ongoing tax cuts for the ultra wealthy holding all the money have induced the extreme levels of debt. If the markets have to take a beating and harm all the people who have been getting their taxes cut (as well as everyone else along for the ride) just so things get back into equilibrium. And it also remains to be seen what happens with the Party favored businesses and if they get bailed out as the power of the purse is consolidated into the executive
  22. Exactly - the human was at fault, not the perfect FSD. /guadaloopy
  23. It's more just the shibboleth that they can use to test for cultural purity and alignment. If you don't like the 10 commandments, then you're an outsider
  24. An electrical substation exploded https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/2025/03/12/texas-tech-shares-alerts-on-engineering-key-evacuations-eoc-activation/82344359007/ It was some serious shit - manhole covers were blown off and dancing on the fire plume. That's some serious pressure and flow to lift a manhole cover
