it's neither a US- nor a profession-specific issue. it's an issue of any high-stakes, relatively niche occupation.

Nazis are generally not a good benchmark for values or ideas. X is a nazi site.

That idea of yours would be perfectly fine if it was just you, but it isn’t: it’s you and all other people who think like you

Definitely not an "idea of mine". That's the US experience (I'm a doctor here). The US's most common electronic medical record system developed a secure messenger app that replaced pagers so yeah for outpatient work most of the time-critical messaging goes through your cell. So no, I can't be on DND 24/7. (I do have very aggressively tweaked work/personal/etc notification settings, but sometimes the urgent messages do need to come through after hours)

if they are doing outpatient work, they don't. even worse, the paging systems migrated to cell phones.

sauce: am doctor

without criming?

tate is part black.

Headlines like this are annoying AF. You wouldn't want your doctor keeping their phone on DND 24/7.

Edit: I didn't expect people to need examples, but here you go, something that happened to me few months ago:

23:21 - my IP phone rings, I'm literally about to go to sleep but I set this specific type of call to come through. I recognize the number and I know it's an emergency so I pick it up. A patient's family calling about them being in their local ER and the ER physician is about to pull the plug on my patient. I spend the next hour yelling at the ER physician to do his fucking job, frantically arranging a transfer. Next day afternoon, I'm having a full conversation with my patient in our hospital. If I didn't fight for this person, and let this go through the regular channels, they would have died.

My comment isn't primarily about work culture or work/life balance. There are some calls that you take because it's the right thing. Advice from people who claim they can turn off all notifications just tells me two things, 1) they don't know how notification scheduling works 2) they aren't the kind of people that others ever rely on in an emergencies.

We couldn't disagree more.:D

I know people like to harp on the self-driving promises...

"FSD" almost got me into a major accident. It had a tendency to ride in cars' blind spots and when someone cut me off I didn't only make an evasive maneuver but also fight "FSD" which locked the steering and did not brake.

...the technology not fraud at all, except for the promises of how soon it will be self-driving.

So the "idea of the technology" is not fraud, only the presentation, the selling, and the delivery of it. So like everything that is currently available:D

Cameras are cheap sensors now

You know what else are cheap sensors. Actual sensors. FFS they had a >$20K profit margin on each car but they saved $100 on sensors

and humans do succeed in driving based only on sight.

This is so disturbingly incorrect. We rely a LOT on our hearing, our vibration sense, our proprioception too. Have you tried driving with earplugs? It's pretty dangerous

Now it’s a software problem - will we be able to create an ai that can drive?

It's a safety issue. For any safety-critical system you apply redundancy.

I don’t know, but I don’t see other approaches doing any better, and that’s with much more expensive and ugly hardware.

Mercedes and GM have much better autonomous driving systems than Tesla, they just don't market it as """FULL self-driving""". The fact that you're unaware shows how incredibly effective tesla's misleading marketing had been.

we’re not all jumping into the same hole that may or may not succeed.

It will succeed, but eliminating safety measures in half-baked technology will claim lives. And nowhere did I say self-driving can't work, I'm saying that it won't work within the product's lifetime and eliminating redundant sensor data will make the process a lot more unsafe.

Let them try something different, and we have a better chance of something working

Again other companies are already ahead of tesla without the bullshitting involved.

One of the interesting energy capture ideas I've seen with Solar and wind is based on kinetic potential energy in high-rise buildings. So you build a sort of heavy weight elevator that is elevated during windy and sunny hours and then it slowly gets released and gravity driven friction generating energy.

This coupled with solar windows and it's a pretty neat idea (not sure how viable though)

Edit: examples: https://spectrum.ieee.org/gravity-energy-storage-elevators-skyscrapers

Partly true. Demand will persist but had already changed drastically. EV/fast car enthusiast niche now has much more exciting alternatives, like used porsche macans or BMW i4s. The people who don't care what they drive as long as its cheap is the future market of Tesla, and they'll easily survive the drop in their profit margins. After all, the Model 3/Y were designed to be <$30K cars (AFAIR they cost like $23K to make?!).

The first signs of Musk being a bit fraudulent is how he marketed "full self-driving" in the meantime, the transition to "vision-only" (i.e., removal of ultrasonic sensors) really sealed the fate of FSD but is also totally on brand for musk: the willingness to compromise safety further by removing sensor redundancy to maximize profits.

And that's an outstanding explanation to why the OF supply infiltrated GW sites (and generally good points on the consent aspect). The net non-pro content remains more abundant than it was a decade or two ago, so it's not like there was a net loss, it's just the commercialization "tainted" some people's "fun."

Also, the more people pay for it the more infiltration of content promotion you'll see into communities that are supposed to revolve around pure exhibitionism and "altruism".

yup, that's my point. we judge the suppliers but the supply side's motivations are much more straightforward than that of those on the demand side.

people commit angry typing to inflict maximum damage on the fascist-in-chief.

yeah half the EV articles are about the CT on the blog. But I suspect it's because the haters click more. What would be a valid analysis after a little longer because the CTs haven't been on the roads long enough, is to compare them with the F150 Lightning. I suspect fire rates will be fairly similar between the two.

definitely!

it's supply/demand. there's much more cameras and people online than 10-20 years ago, so the supply is plenty. people paying for this content is much more mysterious to me. why would I ever do that?!

I've never seen this part of rediquetteactualy being followed on reddit (also, it was a joke to demonstrate how this community is different because I upvoted, but someone ruined the joke)

downvoted to teach you a lesson!

(much less toxic than reddit thus far)

yup. it's quite disturbing that even a rolling industrial garbage container like the CT needs fake analyses to be ridiculed.

Glowing demonstration of eggsceptional management skills.
