circumlocution


You can say fuck on the internet.


To be fair, I’ve never stepped into a Waymo, but from what I’ve heard they’re sent on pre-determined paths around a delimited area. These only seem to be feasible you can either strictly control your environment or adjust for a finite number of cases, such as a delimited area, and even that isn’t working too hot for other road users.
I still don’t see the advantage versus a taxi bus.


The entire rhetoric relies on the idea that self driving road cars are
Tesla’s failed efforts have proven time and time again that the road is full of unexpected and arbitrary inaccuracies, ambiguities and risks that cannot be assessed by a machine alone. They’ve also been sued in multiple markets on claims of false advertising because autopilot is not, in fact, autopilot.
They don’t even have the best system in the industry, that would be Drive Pilot, a Level 3 autonomous assist system by Mercedes-Benz. The only systems to have level 4 are taxis that only operate in limited areas, on limited, known routes, and they are well known for being very easily confused and blocking emergency vehicles.

I get a glimpse of what once was every time they tear open the road. :(


What the fuck is a custom domain?
You mean a domain name?

I don’t understand the point you’re making.


He just has to find and disable the modem theoretically, or kill the antennas to it.


Are all smartphones iPhones to you?
If not, why are all connected cars Teslas to you? Are all electric cars Teslas to you, too?
Genuine question, I don’t know if you genuinely think only Tesla is exposed to this problem or if you’re using the word Tesla as a generic brand for any modern car equipped with a connected infotainment system.


Symphony / Laravel is still super popular. I was gonna apply to a job posting at my partner’s company, but I went “eh nvm” when I saw they were using Symphony 😭


Should be filed against that someone directly, actually. If you ghost ride the wheel and run over a toddler, they don’t charge the automatic transmission for creeping at 8 km/h, they charge you.


me :3
Fuck you, Brendan Eich
