He's claimed before that he honestly believes it each year by watching the progress the past X months, but suddenly all progress stops as their method hits a plateau. So they keep changing methods.

It's probably an honest mistake the first time or two, but he's done this every year since and has no credibility anymore.

After being wrong by a year or two, he should have explained what was going in, and shut up about it, with a simple I don't know when it'll be ready but you should see forward progress each year.

The part of the claim here where they wouldn't upgrade the cameras is a part that I'm highly interested in.

I don't expect tesla to upgrade any hardware beyond what they believe is required which they claim hardware 3 is.

But the moment a hardware 3 car can't flip a switch and become level 3/4 SAE autonomous and a hardware 4, 5, 6 or whatever it is if/when solved is required, I think there's a massive lawsuit there unless Tesla somehow upgrades the cars.

Suddenly the car didn't come with the hardware required and can't function as described, especially back when it was announced.

Tesla will say, oh we'll get it working on HW3 next year... and try to kick the can to avoid liability, but I don't think that will work long.

Edit: and as per the ruling, it sounds like the new knowledge that the car can't on HW3 but can on others, would trigger new knowledge opening up past the statute of limitations

I feel like this would be better if the field was surrounded by a 1 foot moat, and there was a bridge.

It would take some amount of effort to step over the moat and not trip, vs just walking over the bridge.

The bridge has a small toll to help maintain it.

But bridge or no bridge you're getting into the field.

It was a fair question, but this is just going to turn out like universities failing or expelling people for alleged AI content in papers.

They can't prove it. They try to use AI tools to prove it, but those same tools will say a thesis paper from a decade ago is also AI generated. Pretty sure I saw a story of a professor accusing someone based off a tool having his own past paper fail the same tool

Short of an admission of guilt, it's a witch hunt.

That's just Elon being petty and he was attacked first.

It was his trans daughter coming out and disowning him when shit started spiraling into the right wing must save the world from wokeness.

There's a big difference in being petty or vindictive or an asshole and this anti wokeness stuff which is going to cause great harm to society.

He always had the asshole/ petty thing going if you followed him before.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

That or be scum enough to frame someone else for it.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Also, I bet if we ever saw those 2 reconcile their relationship, we'd see a change in his public persona.

I'm not holding my breath on that one though.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

In one of the interview with Nolan he says he has full body spasms when he sits in the chair and those spasms take him out of position from being able to use the mouth stick controller. With neuralink he doesn't need intervention by someone else post spasms to continue.

Definitely enough to be jostling the head, but he didn't get into explicit detail of how serious they are movement wise.

Edit: side note, makes me wonder if they're a build up of spinal signals and the cord briefly connects and suddenly a pile of commands go through and he spasms.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

We jam stuff into our body for all sorts of medical things.

Some require rejection meds for life. Others don't.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

You don't need a backdoor in signal to bypass its encryption.

All you need is to exploit the phone and wait for them to open or use signal.

If you think your phone is safe from the NSA or similar services, I got some bad news for you.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

It'd almost like... phones aren't secure.

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

There's been enough zero day remote exploits that there's bound to be more.

Pretty sure there's more than 1 about receiving an SMS and the payload rooting the phone and you not even knowing it happened. At least 1 but I think 2 or more.

Something about a malicious image also rooting a phone.

It goes on and on and phones don't always get security updates.

You can do your best, but then longer you use a given phone the higher the risk. That's why people switch out phones frequently when doing shady or important shit

NotMyOldRedditName ,

And I haven't pirated a game in I don't even know how long now because of Steam.

TV show? Last week.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Fuck that BS :(

NotMyOldRedditName ,

So couldn't a court compel the VPN to log all IPs and then use some FISA level shit to prevent the VPN from alerting users?

There's been a handful of VPN cases taken to court where they have proved, at that moment in time, that they had no logs to hand over. But why not take it that last step and compel the change then?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

US Gov: Here's a blank cheque, make it happen.

But really, the best I can come up with given this is clearly not impossible, is it would destroy the business, but I still think FISA could somehow bypass that given how broad and secret it is.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

getting stronger after each failed attempt.

Why would that be a decided upon outcome? There's gotta be a reason for that intention

NotMyOldRedditName ,

I'm gonna be that person...

Paywalled, but if that was for q1 the model 3 was ramping up the highland model. The numbers from q1 are meaningless.

Edit: someone posted a non paywalled version and it is q1. So ya, it's meaningless.

Edit: it'd actually be better to see how the Model Y did in Q1 as a litmus test.

Edit: Reuters reports model Y best selling vehicle in California in Q1

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Thanks!

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Samsung's 10x camera is amazing, I'm pretty miffed they dropped down to a digial zoom 10x though and made it a 5x on the S24 series, even if it gives other benefits like higher quality mid zooms between the 3x and 10x.

I really hope they bring it back or someone else has a good 10x lens by the time I need a new phone.

Fuck only having a 3x after having a 10x

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

Dude, I was literally in another thread where someone posted a video talking about how many deaths FSD caused (17) and extrapolating those numbers by how many FSD miles were driven lead to fsd being 11x more dangerous than a humans driver.

It had all sorts of upvotes.

Except, those accidents were on AP which has multiple billions of miles driven, not FSD. The NHSTA has only said there was 1 fsd related death. Related, as in, not confirmed to be the cause of.

They don't even know what they're mad about. And i get downvoted for showing the major flaw in their post.

I bet they've never used, or had to acknowledge the warnings prior to using AP. Let alone the even more dire warning FSD gives (or gave prior to v12 anyway, not sure what today's warnings are)

NotMyOldRedditName ,

You don't have to disable it to beat the safety system.

They were all pretty much due to inattentiveness, though. Many were drunk drivers.

Many do use defeat devices as well, but not all.

This was all brand new when it first came out and we didn't really have proper regulations for it. Things have gotten more restrictive, but people do still find ways around it and there's no fool proof solution to this as humans are smart and will find ways around things.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Anything remotely supportive of Tesla on lemmy usually results in massive downvotes.

You've angered the hive mind by suggesting people are actively trying to bypass teslas saftey system so they can be idiots thus making it not wholly Teslas fault.

And yes, many people are actively using bypass devices, but not all.

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

That number is like 1.5 billion now and rising exponentially fast.

Also those deaths weren't all FSD they were AP.

The report says 1 FSD related (not caused by but related) death. For whatever reason the full details on that one weren't released.

Edit: There are billions of miles on AP. In 2020 it was 3 billion

Edit: Got home and I tried finding AP numbers through 2024 but haven't seen anything recent, but given 3 billion 2020, and 2 billion in 2019, and an accelerating rate of usage with increased car sales, 2023 is probably closer to 8 billion miles. I imagine we'd hear when they reach 10 billion.

So 8 billion miles, 16 AP fatalities (because that 1 FSD one isn't the same) is 1 fatality per 500,000,000 miles, or put into the terms above by per 100mil miles, 0.2 fatalities per 100 million miles or 6.75 times less than a human produces. And nearly all of these fatal accidents were from blatant misuse of the system like driving drunk (at least a few) or using their phone and playing games.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

That comment was wrong. I pointed out why in a reply.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Autonomy is not a pipe dream. It might not happen with Teslas sensors, and it might not happen for many many more years, but it will happen.

There's nothing unattainable about it with sufficient technology

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

It was because they announced they were speeding up their plans for their affordable next gen vehicle earlier than already announced, which was H2 2025

Now it's late 2024/H1 2025

They are ditching their next gen "unboxed" production method to do this however and leaving that for the robo taxi. The vehicles will be a hybrid if their next gen tech and existing tech. They claim the new models to be released will be built on the existing manufacturing lines, getting them to over 3mil vehicles a year.

These will be more akin to a gen 2.5.

Robo taxi will be gen 3

If their unboxed plans work with the taxi, they'll use it for other vehicles in the future.

Edit: they basically derisked the cheaper vehicles by foregoing the risky new production method that would make it cheaper in the long run, by figuring out how to use their existing lines, also making it cheaper. But in the grand scheme of things i imagine this hybrid way will have less margins than a successfully implemented new way.

Also, some of the price crash was from Reuters reporting they abandoned the cheaper vehicle in favor of robotaxi and there's been uncertainty for weeks now ok the topic, until now.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

if you can trust this company.

That's the key point. After all the other delays, they need to show they can do something on time now to gain some of that back.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

I was thinking it's more like their contingency plan for if unboxed was a catastrophe.

If they can actually pull off the accelerated, shared manufacturing lines plan, it feels like it's too fast to be on a whim with no planning.

I do agree though it's probably to keep shareholders happy as the cheaper EV landscape unfolds and they were falling behind.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

It does

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Harry Potter wasn't a fantasy movie, it was a SciFi and we just didn't know it.

It's the cryptocurrency that keeps it tamper proof.

Any blockchain can be altered they aren't immutable by nature.

What keeps it immutable is the incentive provided and to not cheat so you can get that incentive.

The whole thing is trustless and everyone is working together aligned on the incentive.

If it doesn't cost resources to secure the chain (which get recouped by the reward) anyone could just spin up a bazillion nodes and take control of the chain and alter the records. And anyone could collide to do so with others to benefit themselves by altering it if they aren't risking a reward, or in PoS, their stake.

If it's a small private blockchain to just keep track of data, people could collude and alter it and it could just be a write only dB with a few admins

What Satoshi did, was invent a way to make a digital item immutable, that was the invention. There were no immutable digital items prior to that. A blockchain isn't just immutable because it's a blockchain.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Not gonna lie, writing code in various ways can be more efficient processing time wise, but often at the cost of complexity, or readability or time to code it.

As phones have gotten faster, and depending on what I'm working on, I'll often take the easier to code and read route than the absolutely best optimized route.

Although there are definitely times you still need to optimize

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Are those frameworks so poorly written they can't be optimized then? That'd have a pretty substantial impact if widely adopted.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Ah gotcha. They're just inherently less performant in some/many cases but that provides a benefit in some other way.

Snapchat forces their AI assistant into the top of your friend/send list.

You have to pay to remove it.

I never use it, its always there though. I named it an obscenity to hopefully get their attention

NotMyOldRedditName ,

It actually tries to upsell you???

Yikes, that's terrible.

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

NotMyOldRedditName ,

This is why Rokus are $10

Spend more if you don't want this.

Did they use 3 different types of memory? If one is failing after 45 years I'd think the odds of the other similar memory possibly failing as well is possible

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Thanks for the clarification. I was being lazy and didn't read it and thought that meant apple couldn't solder the ram to the motherboard aka pairing it.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The apple watch thing is kinda interesting.

So you make a watch and it has super tight integrations with OS level software on the phone.

I can't imagine they can force apple to write an Android app, which doesn't even have the same system level access as their OS app and provide some sort of degraded service.

Maybe they could force them to let it function in some limited way but where do you draw the line on forcing them to write android apps?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

But I wanted to point out, Android is much, much more permissive in what peripherals and apps can do.

That's kinda true, but not what I was getting at. Android has restrictive background processing limits and the APIs around it keep getting more restrictive and the OEMs like Samsung keep ignoring the rules of how things should work and break your apps when you do it right anyway.. Ultimately it's incredibly difficult to write an app and guarantee background work.

Apple, is even worse on its restrictions of background work, but Apple owns the OS and and can bypass it all for their watch.

Apple will never get to bypass the fuckery you have to deal with on Android, only the Android OEMs get that.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

What do you do though if Apple is telling the truth and allowing 3rd party wallets would degrade the security even for their own wallet?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Or how do elders deal with what other citizens would take for granted in terms of mobility?

Electric mobility scooters as well. I'm sure those are capable of much better range now, and it should keep getting better, and everything they need would ideally be close by

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Something like this?

https://ebikehaul.com/products/q-runner-all-weather-4-wheel-mobility-electric-scooter

It's still speed limited, it's not a car.

Edit: that is a tad expensive though, would need to get costs down
