My favorite part about the Microsoft translation is that MS reportedly had to go out and buy a bunch of MacOS machines for the Open AI folks because they didn’t want to use the operating system that their future employer made.

I wonder if Apple’s two week return policy works for enterprise purchases of hundreds of machines.

This is lazy journalism. The survey’s source was Lending Tree, and it was basically intended to be a way to generate site traffic for Lending Tree. It’s an ad.

Lending Tree did not post the survey structure and or question formatting. This is clickbate and not great polling.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Last time I tried autopilot was 4 years ago, so I imagine things have become better. That said, on a test drive, on a rainy day, auto lane change did some fighting stuff. Thought lanes were clear, learned they weren’t, then violently ripped the car back to the origin lane in conditions that were prime for hydroplaning.

My wife and I were scared shitless, and the woman from Telsa, who was also in the car, tried to reassure us by saying “it’s ok, this is normal.”

Then we return the car to the parking lot and auto park almost took out a kid in an enclosed parking structure.

I imagine it’s become better in 4 years, but how that was street legal baffled my mind.

Let’s not get pedantic. They are part of the “enhanced autopilot” package.

Well in that case, the advanced autopilot features that almost killed me were totally safe.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

which I consider part of FSD

Well when Telsa, this former employee / whistleblower, and these journalists refer to “autopilot,” they’re specifically talking about the software and hardware marketed under the “____ Autopilot” banner that Telsa uses for those features.

Some of these more advanced autopilot features clearly have issues, and it probably stems from the fact that they’re only using cameras and ultra sonic, not lidar.

In my experience with a Model 3 and AAP, when those cameras and sensors were wet, it was pretty clear that they were getting dangerous. It started raining during our test drive, so we had a before / after experience on the same roads. Once everything got obstructed with water, you could see the car’s collision detection struggle to detect other objects. Objects on the center display would erratically pop in out of view. And this was a showroom car, it wasn’t the first rain of the year, and it was behaving “normally” according to staff.

Even if basic autopilot was fine, this left such a sour taste in my mouth that I had no appetite to give that company my money. Almost dying and almost killing a kid were a big “fuck this company” for me.

@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Yes they are. There are two tiers of autopilot functionality. Basic and Advanced. This is part of the Advanced Autopilot tier.

www.tesla.com/support/autopilot

Telsa refers to those features as “autopilot”, and this former employee is referring those features as “autopilot” in his whistle blower claims.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

This is like arguing that an iPhone Pro isn’t a “iPhone,” it’s a “iPhone Pro.”

Call it whatever you want. This whistle blower, the press, and this comment thread are all referring to unsafe features of Tesla’s L2 automation that are currently available to the public.

Ghostalmedia,

Enhanced Autopilot is very popular. All the hardware is already installed on the car, it just needs to be unlocked by purchasing the subscription in the app. The Full Self Driving package is also unlockable via a software subscription. FSB will be out of beta soon, but advanced autopilot has been a popular purchase for many years. It’s one of the main reasons people buy a Telsa. It is most definitely not on “practically zero” Teslas.

As for “according to whom” - you replied to my comment about my experience with autopilot. So according to me.

Advanced autopilot did some frightening stuff during the little time I spent driving a model 3. I really wanted to like the model 3 and was expecting to whip out my checkbook, but that test drive scared the shit out of my wife and I. It made some very dangerous lane changes and the autonomous parking stuff almost hit a kid in a parking lot. The latter is definitely widely reported. I’m not the only person to have experienced that problem.

Republicans Are Blurring the Faces of Capitol Rioters so They Won't Get Arrested (www.rollingstone.com)

House Speaker Mike Johnson has promised to release more than 44,000 hours of surveillance footage from Jan. 6 to the public, with one major caveat: The faces of some individuals who participated in the storming of the Capitol, a violent attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s election, will be blurred out....

@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Republicans are just telling their base they’re doing this so that the base feels like they’re owning the libs.

The cops have already seen this shit. Where the fuck do they think capital camera footage goes? MTG’s Ring account?

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, this is probably just theatre. The federal cops have almost certainly seen this footage.

Also, we already saw most of the worst crimes on national TV.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Although, to be fair, a lot of these assholes were all over national TV. Sure, some folks probably flew under the radar, but the worst offenders are pretty well documented.

IMHO, this is just the GOP trying to fire up its base by telling the base that they’re persecuted victims. It’s all for show, and getting angry about it only feeds into the narrative.

Your adroit incorporation of the term “tendentious” exemplifies lexical virtuosity. Impressive articulation. Truly seamless weaving of a sesquipedalian polysyllabic term.

Republicans in New Hampshire Want to Ban Abortion After 15 ... Days | That’s just one day after at-home tests can confirm a pregnancy (www.rollingstone.com)

Republicans currently hold a trifecta in New Hampshire, with GOP majorities in the House and Senate and a Republican occupying the governor’s mansion. But control of the House — the largest in the country with 400 members — sits on a knife’s edge. There are 198 Republicans and 195 Democrats, three independents, and four...

I love that these fuckwits haven’t come to terms with the fact that most Americans hate this policy, and all it does is drive out the vote for the Dems.

Speaker Johnson Explains Holdup In Releasing Jan 6 Tapes: ‘We Have To Blur Some Of The Faces’ To Protect Them From The DOJ (www.mediaite.com)

Yes. You read that right. Johnson is saying that he is intentionally hiding insurrectionists from prosecution in the release of tapes that Republicans claim will vindicate them on January 6th.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn’t the DOJ have already seen this footage. Why would Congress have access to security footage that the cops don’t have already have access to?

This smells like some sort of play for time and or a way for GOP leaders to pretend to have their base’s backs.

Media quality between platforms is finally getting addressed with Apple adopting RCS.

Only real gap is cross-messaging-platform end to end encryption, which is also on the roadmap for RCS. And if you’re really worried about security, handing over your iCloud credentials to a third party probably isn’t a great idea anyway.

Grammer never went full “Kirk Cameron” with his professional career, but he’s always been super right-wing, and the guy has some notable bible thumper and anti-abortion flicks on his IMDB page. He’s done a decent job of keeping his fringy beliefs out of the press.
