machinin,

Fuck Biden.

Fuck Blicken.

I hope you both suffer like the Palestinians are suffering.

machinin,

What would it cost him to cancel the genocide too, right?

machinin,

What is the current status of the Russian naval fleet in the Black Sea? How many more valuable targets are left?

I’m also of the opinion that Ukraine could set up a small team to hit naval targets in other parts of the world. A small team with the naval drones they’ve been using could do significant damage.

machinin,

You don’t remember Musk talking about biohazard mode? If you aren’t a nerdy user that tries to understand all the details, it might be easy to confuse.

machinin,

…wikipedia.org/…/Hallucination_(artificial_intell…

The term “hallucinations” originally came from computer researchers working with image producing AI systems. I think you might be hallucinating yourself 😉

machinin,

The solar/battery stuff was just him saving an almost bankrupt company his cousins had. SpaceX and Tesla had both invested in the company, and he would have lost the money and like faced regulatory scrutiny had it went under.

Hyperloop was his effort to disrupt California’s high-speed rail plans.

machinin,

There are better options. Musk is just the one that doesn’t care about safety.

machinin,

That is what makes this even more egregious. Musk doesn’t care about this guy in the slightest, except for the publicity that might help Musk raise more investor money. So Musk takes advantage of this desperation without any concern for long-term consequences. We know people left the company because of their ethical concerns. Those that remain probably just don’t care or aren’t on a position to do anything about the lack of ethics.

machinin, (edited )

I guess it is an old argument. How willing are we, as a society, to protect people from being taken advantage of by cons. Musk had been extremely resilient for a con man. Probably because he mainly goes after relatively poor people.

Musk’s companies aren’t the only ones making breakthroughs in their respective fields. The only difference between Musk companies and others is that Musk just didn’t care about safety, so his companies cut corners to make people think they are ahead. Other companies who are more responsible aren’t willing to cut those corners for ethical reasons.

machinin,

I would say this is just AIPAC astroturfing.

machinin,

Yeah, but he could also stop a genocide, or at least slow it down significantly.

It isn’t just votes were talking about. It’s the genocide of a people, and Biden is supplying the guns and money for it.

machinin,

Yeah, might as well put a KKK bumper sticker on the thing.

machinin,

They are also dumping Tesla.

machinin, (edited )

I have a feeling this might be like the Hertz deal. A quick deal by Musk to save the stock price, but that is going to wreck Baidu in the long term.

Edit - never mind, I actually read the article. So Tesla is licensing map data from Baidu? I wonder what caused that.

The Modi snub seems significant. It will be interesting to see how that works out. I wonder if that was an intentional power move by China.

machinin,

They use the term “rate,” which would account for absolute numbers. So just because Tesla sells more EVs wouldn’t account for it.

machinin,

The same stats run similar for other EV but nobody cares.

Where are you getting that number? The report just said Tesla had the highest accident rate of all brands.

machinin,

Okay, so Tesla had the highest rate, but switching power train types seems problematic. It didn’t really say if other EVs are close to Tesla’s accident rates, or am I missing something?

machinin,

In any case, I think we can dispel the myth that Tesla is one of the safest cars. They have the worst accident rates among all brands and their driving assist features either can’t keep idiots from making bad decisions or, worse, even amplify the dangerous effects that idiots create while driving.

machinin,

They give 2 statistics, accidents and incidents. Accidents are crashes, incidents are crashes plus tickets.

Tesla has most accidents per driver. Ram has the most incidents - the report you mention. Tesla has the second most incidents.

So, Teslas still top the number is accidents. Agree, we would need a study to figure out if Tesla driving assist suite is either incompetent at driver safety or malignant to driver safety. Perhaps this lawsuit will shed some light on it.

machinin,

It’s so good many people trust it to much.

That’s the malignant part I mentioned. They trust it too much and end up running into a first responder, motorcycle or kid getting off a school bus. The aviation industry and many other industries have extensive knowledge how to avoid this very problem. Most other car companies implement systems to avoid it. Tesla just doesn’t really care that much.

My thoughts were also about phantom breaking, but I don’t know if it is still an issue.

By the way, I’m not downvoting you here.

‘Like a war zone’: Emory University grapples with fallout from police response to protest | US universities (www.theguardian.com)

The university’s response was likely the quickest show of police force in response to a divestment protest among the dozens nationwide that have occurred in recent weeks. It was also probably the only one where pepper balls, stun guns and rubber bullets were used against students, faculty and community members – at one of...

machinin,

They were right about eugenics. That was a doozy that the left got wrong. But yeah, conservatives don’t really do well with change for the better for people who have it bad.

machinin,

I’m surprised I got downvoted. I didn’t think this bit of history was that unknown.

This is about British and Scandinavian eugenics. theguardian.com/…/eugenics-founding-fathers-briti…

As a leftist myself, I’m horrified by it, but we need to know our history.
