Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
Warl0k3 has posted elsewhere in this thread with information about how these logs are generated and kept, they’re event data recorders. They need to meet federal standards which presumably would include protections against having the data rewritten like that. Seems likely that if this was being done it would be a serious crime and probably a bigger news story than the crash itself, do you have any actual sources?
Capability, sure. Do you think they actually did, though? That’s a positive assertion that I would want to see some kind of actual evidence for beyond an assertion by some random commenter on the Internet.
I suspect you don’t have any evidence because if there was I think that would probably be by far the bigger story here. Which is why I expect Tesla would refrain from taking the risk of tampering with logs in situations like this.
What “defending?” I’m explaining where they got the information from. It’s literally in their preliminary report. I said nothing beyond that fact.
They read the logs themselves. The NTSB routinely does investigations and Teslas are a popular brand of car, why wouldn’t they have the ability to read their logs?
Really. Do you have any sources that indicate that?
More than half of the American electorate.
Yeah. That’s always been my nightmare driving a regular car too, the “stop” and “go faster” buttons are right next to each other and in a place you can’t see them. Such a weird standard, presumably a result of the requirement for physical linkages from early in car history. Would have been nice if electric vehicles had provided an opportunity to rethink that paradigm.
They checked the car’s logs.
Electronic data recovered from the vehicle indicated that before the crash, the driver manually overrode FSD (Supervised) by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100%
So no, looks like they checked the logs.
There’s information about Moonshot’s funding on its Wikipedia article. They haven’t IPOed, they’ve received about two billion in investment from various investment firms and other big companies.
Yeah. Unfortunately, one pretty much inescapable part of the solution to this wildfire problem is wildfires. They need to burn through the backlog.
Looks like China’s gone from being 6 months “behind” to more like 6 weeks “behind.”
Kind of pricey, but still the cheapest in its weight class. Could be they’re simply squeezing what profits they can out of it. I read that they’re planning to open the weights in August, at which point third parties will be able to compete based on whatever the actual cost of running it is.
So, the same deal we originally had. Once again Trump is a comical failure at the one thing he claims to be good at.
And I said comparisons can be made.
If those cloud models are getting comparable results but using way more electricity, why would companies be running them? They like making profit, don’t they? They’re not some kind of Captain Planet villains chortling at being maximally wasteful.
Comparisons can be made using open AI models. I run some locally on my own hardware, I know exactly how much energy they use.
The energy consumption can be measured, very approximately, by the cost of the tokens. If you design agentic tools to make use of fewer, cheaper tokens then you’re likely also minimizing the energy usage.
Yup. The “you can’t make an omelette without killing a whole bunch of people” mindset.
The annoying part is that it’s not entirely wrong, IMO. At this point I think the best hope America has is for those Trump voters to feel the pain of the situation they have brought upon themselves, and for the Democrats to be pushed far enough to finally shake off the DNC establishment. America needs another Roosevelt at this point and there’s no way someone like that would have got on the ballot or been elected under the past few decades’ conditions.
Sure would have been nice if everyone had just been smart about all this and we hadn’t got here to begin with, but we go to the ballot box with the electorate we have rather than the one we hope for.
I think a lot of Americans did see Trump as an existential threat and that’s why they voted for him. He was the “blow everything up” candidate, Harris was the “everything continues as it is” candidate.
This is literally the most charitable thing I can say about a subset of Trump voters. They actually did have a point there. A lot of people voted for Obama because he was the change candidate and this time around Trump was the change candidate. Almost entirely bad changes, of course, but some people were so desperate for change that they figured it was worth rolling the dice.
Just a subset of Trump voters, mind. Most of them were probably just awful people who saw a fellow awful person on the candidate and went “me like.” But if a subset had decided not to vote for him we wouldn’t be here now so they were significant.
You can ask AI how code works too, though. And it’s always available, whereas the human who wrote the code may not be.
Several times now I’ve come across a project that looked interesting but wasn’t well documented, and I just dropped the Github link into an AI chat and asked it to tell me stuff about how it worked. What algorithms were used, and so forth. Really handy.
I was expecting that excuse to come up, it often does.
People who don’t vote are effectively voting “we’re okay with whatever everyone else chooses.” So when Trump wins those people voted for Trump.
