    Beautiful photos from AP from yesterday.

    The road is expected to take 1-2 months to replace. E.g. not back in service before the next even starts.

    For the terminally brain dead haters this is like crack cocaine

    But its meaningless, we've had this bs for years from Norway etc

    Tesla ship cars quarterly to some countries they dont manufacture in

    If they sell out all the cars in Q4/23 they wont have any to sell in January

    Its not rocket science...

    @Selena @jann I can't tell whether you're supporting what I said or opposing it. Not buying what?

    This was very obviously an attempt to go viral.

    I'm always baffled by the phrase "no-nonsense judge". Are there nonsense judges out there? "Okay, and now I'll invite the defense to make their opening remarks... but first, UNLEASH THE LEMURS!!!"

    Tesla recalls 200,000 more cars due to backup camera - Desk Chair Analysts

    @majorlinux Not by any normal definition of the word "recalled", they didn't.

    And normally, if your backup camera has some rare bug (certainly nobody I know has ever encountered that)... it continues having said rare bug for the rest of your car's life. It doesn't get a free update over-the-air installed at your convenience.

    These Shahed-136/131 have been apparently downed mostly intact. Of it would be only one then it could be a malfunction but three separate events indicate the usage of electronic warfare. Especially the first pictures shows a trail behind the drone. It landed as softly as possible.

    @Tendar It's weird. Can't just be GPS jamming, because they switch to INS. Shouldn't be possible to GPS spoof them. Have they found a way to mess with the INS module remotely? Or maybe the altitude sensor (plus jamming so they can't get it from GPS, assuming they would do that in the first place)? Either way, sounds like something that would be extremely high power!

    Cyber..uck?!
    It seems that it's not only the "unbreakable" windows that were a lie ๐Ÿ˜€, the whole thing is all hat and no cattle, a toy that ... looks tough ๐Ÿคฃ

    Read about and watch the misery of driving a off road. In a nutshell:

    "you don't need to spend $80+ thousand to go out on the trails and have some fun", that is, if you find it fun to fail and have your car fall apart. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    @65dBnoise Software clearly needs to be patched. But that happens OTA.

    It's worth remembering that Model 3 shipped without even a radio enabled. And while CT's current manual is just a slightly modified Model 3 manual, Model 3 didn't have one at all.

    Tesla considers this fine because early buyers when production rates are tiny (as CT production rates are now) tend to be hardcore fans who don't mind waiting a few months to get all the added features, so long as they get their vehicle sooner.

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @65dBnoise Company's happy and the (small number of) early owners are happy with getting their cars earlier and they get OTA updated later, so I honestly don't see the problem, except for PR things like the above.

    @65dBnoise About the Cybertruck offroading trip. Did you not watch the video?

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @65dBnoise You clearly didn't, because he said the Cybertruck only failed on one stretch, did great everywhere else, and he loved the wipers.

    Just had someone respond to a serious and not at all rude inquiry with "I only respond to polite questions."

    Now resisting the temptation to resend the exact same email, but reworded into florid, over-the-top sycophantic prose.

    "My dearest Ingรณlfur,

    I trust this missive finds you well..."

    Fascinated by the rebuttal that humans make mistakes too, so algorithms should be allowed to as well.

    As if the machine is disconnected from the humans building, deploying and using them.

    The machines are an extension of human mistakes, not its own separate entity with free will.

    It would appear, ironically, that when a huge number of humans are involved in building the machines, the humans become invisible.

    Future historians:
    "They couldn't see the humans because of all the machines."

    @axbom They really aren't. These aren't puppets. They're not hand-coded. Their learning is unsupervised. Literally, it's called "unsupervised learning".

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @axbom You're talking about something you don't understand. There is no "labeling" in unsupervised learning. It's literally right there in the name: it's unsupervised. It's "here's a giant mass of data. Get good at predicting it." Humans aren't in the loop at all.

    The fact that LLMs are a black box is not some mystery, it's an inherent aspect of dense representations, aka detailed generalized models, of the world, and why we too are black boxes.

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @axbom That's not to say you can't decipher what's happening, it's just a nontrivial task.

    Neural networks effectively build their own algorithms. Human-designed code laying out the Transformers architecture is like 0,00001% of the "code" involved. The rest is learned by the models, in an UNSUPERVISED manner.

    They're not puppets. They learn how to model the world on their own.

    wouldn't put a solar roof on Model Y so this owner did it himself - https://mashable.com/article/tesla-model-y-solar-roof "using nine 175-watt solar panels, Beta One can add 6kWh to the EV per day, which is about 20 miles of range, with five hours of sun. "

    Seems to be two sites of overtopping of the berm, beyond where the fissure itself breached it one by the greenhouse, and one at the road closure (guess they didn't have time to close it high enough).

    Third house on fire.

    Still, most lava is following the berm path out west. It's helped.

    If you are a citizen of any EU Member State, I implore you to consider signing the Tax-the-Rich citizens' initiative:
    https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/

    The idea is to tax the super rich and then use the money for climate transition. :blobcathappypaws:

    This is an official EU citizens' initiative, meaning that if it reaches certain thresholds, it will have to be considered by the EU institutions. That's a really powerful tool, if actually used.

    So we should use it. :blobcatcool:

    @rysiek No, it's realism. You can't just propose a bill without first gaming out how the other side is going to respond.

    Pretend that you're a rich person who adores their money and already spends their days jetsetting around the world. What tricks would YOU use? You can afford all the greatest accounting and legal minds in the world to help you come up with them, so they're going to be good!

    If you haven't gamed this out, what you have is worthless.

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @rysiek Because the outcomes of the countermeasures may not be just neutral, they may actually end up harming ordinary people far more than they harm the wealthy.

    The point of legislation isn't "showy stunts", it's "actual outcomes".

    Game it out and defend your work, or stop wasting your breath and people's time.

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @rysiek It depends entirely on the specific countermeasure in response to the specific policy, but can range from the money and jobs just leaving, companies wasting money on countermeasures rather than salaries, countermeasures leading to reduced revenues, and so forth.

    Again: you need to game out what countermeasure will be applied to what policy.

    nafnlaus,
    @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org avatar

    @rysiek Lets just say that not only have you come up with some brilliant unescapable plan to tax the rich more but even keep them from leaving the country! Infallable, right?

    Okay, now play a rich person. "Fuck this. Okay, now it's no longer "my money" and "my luxury", it's now "my company's". I don't have a private jet, but my company does. I don't have a beach house in Fiji, my company has a small office in Fiji. Etc.

    Game out countermeasures, or your proposal is worthless.
