  • Was the theoretical case of FIA approving and "Formula 1" (FOM?) Not approving the one where they'd technically be allowed to race, but them racing would not be allowed to be broadcast?

  • Can someone explain why it's so terrible, that this tree has been felled?
    I don't think I've seen it before, so to me it's more significant that it fell on Hadrian's wall. But I do seem to be ignorant here, so can someone educate me?

  • I mean Teslas marketing here is totally predatory, and imho this is where they should be severely punished.

    once it became kinda publicly known that Teslas "Autopilot" doesn't mean hands off driving, they changed to Full Self Driving capability

  • If you are relying on T&C as a get out of jail free card for your safety system, then it isn’t a safety system.

    That's how every safety system works.
    You define the necessary conditions in which it works, and guarantee (with testing and validation) that in those conditions it does its job.
    Nothing works unconditionally.

    The Conditions in this case are in fact, that it is an assistance system, and not a safety system, because everybody knows it can't be relied upon. It probably works >99% of times, which just isn't (nearly) enough for driving.

  • Then it should not be called “Autopilot.” The AI required to make real autopilot work does NOT exist now and probably won’t exist for decades.

    Well, in Aviation, where I believe the term "Autopilot" is most commonly used, at least before tesla, an Autopilot is actually exactly what Tesla offers.
    When everything is fine, it can keep the plane going.
    If issues come up, it disengages and the pilot has to be able to receive full control

    /e: also, waymo and cruise already have completely autonomous cars, which generally work.

  • Except that Tesla does claim that they’re autonomous self-driving. They’re even among the group pushing to be allowed to sell cars with no driver controls.

    they really don't say that. I mean they advertise with it, sure. But always when it actually comes down to it, tesla admits it's an assistive feature that requires constant attention.

    Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.

    and you get warnings source (or here ) when you first sign up, as well as reminders when the car detects that you don't follow the requirements.

  • if it disengaged a few seconds before, the crash is still the fault of Tesla’s software.

    I actually disagree, because it's not self driving, it doesn't actually claim to have any autonomous features. The driver has to be aware all the time.
    The way all of this is worded when facing the public is... horrible, that's true. But since the warnings once in the car seem to all be there, I'd say that's more a false advertising issue than a "is your product actually safe?" issue.

    Really interested in how this comes out, even more data would be interesting to me.

  • team can help. I think the "skateboard" is not considered different than the jacks, or even wheel guns for that matter. The Team is allowed to use tools on their vehicle during a pit-stop.

    If marshals help, you're out.

  • I'm not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
    want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
    Resident Evil? I'm not so sure.
    On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?

    Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use

  • not 100% sure, because weather is a bit device specific.
    But usually you should be able to install either weather notification or quickweather (use an API key for OpenWeatherMap) and have that data sync via gadgetbridge to the watch.

  • And ZeppOS watches (most/all Amazfit watches) are well supported!
    Can't recommend it enough, for anyone privacy conscious at least

  • Or 1600x1200 when most LCDs were 1024x768.

    CRTs really have gotten a bad rep, although they were great for a while still, after LCDs came on the market

  • Google would likely still bid, but lower, so that Firefox may change over for bing, and still get ~80% of what they got from google. Google has an interest to not make it cheap for microsoft, even if they don't want to pay a dime themselves.

  • Well, from the EUs perspective, while the US is certainly generally an Ally, it is sometimes a rather tense relationship.

    I'd argue, you could describe China pretty similarly, although that would be somewhat disingenuous, as I think EU and US values are more similar than EU and Chinese values.

    Anyway, if you don't want the data of your people to go to some questionable other country, you'd have to forbid US social networks as well.

  • Probably too difficult logistically to forbid Microsoft

  • Or UV filament with a UV light

  • Are there any features that you'd like to have?

    I see few reasons to upgrade, to be honest.

  • Well, it's a beta for "full self driving" and it's really quite easy to argue that it even is capable of doing that. It's just not really close to the required certainty. It propably acts fine in 99%+ of decisions. It's just such a bitch to get that last percent filled in as much as required

  • It would be one of the worst displays you've ever seen, if not the worst.
