Oh how I miss those days.

There’s your problem. She’s not. It’s a parody.

Generic MAGA idiot with some extra lols thrown in (e.g. bug stuff) to make it obvious that it’s a joke.

I’m picturing you having a hearty over-the-top laugh as you finished typing that.

One of these sound pretty good right now.

Did you watch it until the end?

Unlikely to help. It’s probably one of those you all look alike things. Americans to nonAmericans in this case.

@microbet how’s it going?

She’s referencing this. Which is paywalled so people have been spreading fake hilarious quotes.

That ā€œfake quoteā€ is from a click hole article that is fucking hilarious.

+1 point for sentiment, minus a million points for all-caps Comic Sans.

Voted Hitler, but this reminds me to take a bag with me on my walk. There’s an app for that: Litterati, which claims to have changed Taco Bell policy from handing out gobs of hot sauce to handing out a few after crack analysis of the litter around Taco Bells.

Extremely well. A birthday in the family today, nice hike, getting some good food, ice cream cake, I have a programming contract gig that is going great, my eldest found out yesterday she’s accepted into her first choice University and gets a ton of money, sister-in-law got a very good negative result on a cancer test after treatment. Thanks. Hope you’re doing well too.

It definitely isn’t. Being the first to commercially release cars with 80% of the capability or whatever of actual autonomous driving does not imply that you’re in pole position to crack that remaining 20%, which is the actual hard part of the problem.

I don’t believe that Tesla’s no-LIDAR technology is capable of producing real autonomous cars and that’s the general consensus in the industry as well. It’s like the problem is joining one thing to another and your solution is, like, velcro or double-sided tape. Yeah that ā€œworksā€ in most situations and maybe your tape is getting stickier over time so it looks like your tech is gradually approaching viability, but it is a fundamentally inadequate solution for real commercial applications.

Litter report: there wasn’t much to pick up. Some cigarette butts that I’m not picking up with bare hands.

I would read that and PUMP THE BRAKES a bit on the Tesla love. WHEN THE RUBBER HITS THE ROAD their tech isn’t up to scratch. Many of the problems described, rather than being teething problems which need to be ironed out, are exactly the fundamental problems you’d expect from a camera-based system.
