We are reading it, we agree with the other guy. You’re wrong and also appear arguing in bad faith or with the least possible effort.
If by inaction or dumb action you get the candidate elected that you least support, you have helped said candidate into office. You had the power to choose, and from their perspective you helped them. You can argue that by not supporting a candidate that’s all you did, but the pyrrhic “victory” here is just moving the reference frame. Voting is teleological yo: why you did what you did doesn’t matter, only the outcome does.
I’m 20, I practice fencing. My height is 192 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?
Unpopular opinion: I like my pure grass lawn and work hard to keep it nice with clean edges, no weeds, and comfortable barefoot walking. My flower garden I also work to keep nice in between plants. The vegetable garden is the same deal. The back of the property can grow whatever it wants. I have less than 1/4 acre and if I can have it all so can you.
You will never convince me that a lot with a house that is overgrown to shit looks nice. We can have both.
Where you live I’ll come help mow your shit for you. Barely any cost.
If you wanna live in the woods live in the woods, you live in town and your property drives value down for your neighbors… Well you’re gonna get what you get.
Theslad below has some good ideas to game the system, but “fuck you” isnt it. You don’t get to unilaterally decide, that is entitled as fuck.
I passed through a natural lawn sub Lemmy the other day and it didn’t look like that was the norm. The normal seemed to be just don’t mow, which really brings a “this is an abandoned property” vibe for me.
Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train....
Ever couple of months you hear about every issue like this, just like you hear about every airline malfunction. It ignores the base rate of accurate performances which is very high.
FSD is imperfect but still probably more ready for use than a substantial fraction of human drivers.
The naming is poor, but in no way does the car represent to you that no intervention is required. It also constantly asks you for input and even watches your eyes to make sure you pay attention.
And that is between Tesla and the NTSB to sort even though I agree. The car itself doesn’t mince words describing it to you, and at the time you’re driving it, the required supervision is unambiguous.
If it were called “Tesla Drive” or something else, everyone would still be here taking a shit on it nonetheless.
It IS actually true. It does goofy stuff in some situations, but on the whole is a little better than your typical relatively inexperienced driver. It gets it wrong about when to be assertive and when to wait sometimes, it thinks there’s enough space for a courteous merge but there isn’t (it does some Chicago style merges sometimes), it follows the lines on the road like they are gospel, and doesn’t always properly estimate how to come to a smooth and comfortable stop. These are annoying things, but not outrageous provided you are paying attention like you’re obliged to do.
I have it, I use it, and I make lots of reports to Tesla. It is way better than it used to be and still has plenty of room to improve, but a Tesla can’t reboot without having a disparaging article written about it.
Also fuck elon, because I don’t think it gets said enough.
People are terrible at probability estimation, and even with two fatal accidents a month FSD is likely still safer than most of the people on the road per million miles driven.
Every driver, and even Tesla, will tell you it’s a work in progress, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who has had an accident with it. I’d be willing to bet money that IF You find someone who has had an accident they have a driving record that’s shitty without it too.
If you want to talk stats, let’s talk stats, but “It seems like Tesla is in the news a lot for near crashes” is a pretty weak metric, even from your armchair.
Marketing besides the naming we have already established and Elon himself masturbating to it? Is there some other marketing that pushes this narrative, because I certainly have not seen it.
Whatever you say Mr Dahmer joke instead of content. I see that was really all in good faith and maybe I unintentionally hurt your feelings by citing a source on base rate biases?
What data would you like me to bring for discussion since you’ve been so open thus far? Do you want me to bring some data showing that teslas spend more time not having accidents than having accidents? I’m happy to go do some homework to enrich this interaction.
It’s not as though you can just ask Tesla for every case of an FSD crash. The falsifiable claim is just me tossing a number, the point is that memorable bad press and bad stats are not the same.
Vote. Tell people you vote for that reach out to you that this is one of your concerns and should be one of theirs. Otherwise, we all just do the best we can.
I’ve got one esp32 board with espresence on it right now, but I sort of balked when I had to go in the HA settings and enable BLE on high power for my phone. How does it affect your battery life?
Also, as a minor annoyance, I could only flash the board from chrome when connected to a WINDOWS machine which I find pretty nasty 🤢, but I may be in the minority there.
Edit: how do you know when to send the notification btw? Did you configure some automation or script that just says how long until notify?
It’s lacking for a noodle, but it doesn’t look like bad soup. The presentation is obviously not amazing, but it looks better than my elementary school chicken and noodles did.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that a tray of soup is a well balanced and nutritionally sound meal, but these aren’t the metrics we use to evaluate “food crimes” around here either. There’s not enough context from one image of one meal to draw conclusions about the state of affairs of food in the prison system at large.
I mean, I doubt it’s very good considering what cafeteria food was like in school, but this isn’t enough info to warrant sharpening a pitch fork.
Why not? There’s a required manual latch, which exists. If it reduces cost somehow to have two switches I can’t see the downside. It seems like a money losing proposition, but if that were the case I don’t know how we got to this situation. Probably it’s a nicety to 1) preserve trim sure, but 2) allow more sophisticated automation like “hey you can’t open the door when the car is in motion”, or other niceties.
The door connects to the computer but there’s an available, mandatory failsafe. Nobody is having problems who isn’t eating Jesus sandwiches or a box of crayons for lunch.
