Around 285,000 people in the United States have FSD beta in their cars right now. The FSD take rate (FSD sold with a new Tesla) is around 19-20%. YouTube is full of videos showing FSD in action. The software isn't perfect, nor is it fi

My thesis is that Tesla is progressing very well on FSD. Watching the progress happen is as easy as watching some videos on YouTube. It's really cool watching it progress, warts and all. Reminds me of how Google's language transla

The question I asked was how the approach Mercedes is taking actually works. Does it use LiDAR? Does it rely on pre-programmed maps? I'm asking for technical details, not normative statements.

I am in a similar position. I'm not using the very latest C++ features, but maybe this will be of use to you anyway? I decided to get started writing a native app for Haiku ( http://haiku-os.org/ ), which you have to wri

I don't know and that's why I'm asking you. How does Mercedes self-driving work? Why is it geofenced?

by maxharris 4y ago
Can you explain to me what principles the Mercedes system operates on? And why does it have to be geofenced? An advanced system can learn and operate anywhere.

I don't know what Mercedes is doing. If it is so great, why does it have to be geofenced?

Yes, true. They all died because larger and/or better-managed competitors beat them. Tesla's competitors are all several years behind in technology and manufacturing, and many of them have incredible debt burdens that will likely

What if Amazon is just an online bookstore? What if Apple is just a computer company? What if Google is just a search engine? I didn't make it past the paywall, but I think this is a pretty silly argument. Yes, the stock might even dro

Does the way SBF's case is being handled increase or decrease your confidence in the mainstream media? How about public institutions?

There is the unsolved problem of the governments themselves being co-opted. The situation in Europe is obviously changing, but it still is very much under the thumb of the United States. We have all been living in a fairy tale and we are al

Diets do work, but you have to pick the right one for your situation. You need to understand why it works, and actually stick to it. If you have other sources of stress in your life that could knock you off your path, try to fix them! No as

Shouldn't they list them by revenue? That way, the brands most likely to be familiar to any given consumer would be easiest to spot. General Mills has many reasons to prefer that people don't form their own independent association

Yes.

General Mills strives to give you the impression that you'll be healthy if you eat their products. If they fail at maintaining this impression, you won't go Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. You won't crave those crazy Cinnamon Toast C

Is there any evidence that would indicate that this has ever occurred? The way I think about these things is in terms of where the electron density tends to be, what fits into what, how things get recycled inside our cells (Ubiquitin, Cytoc

Secrecy is required to maintain empire. Where there is secrecy, there is always corruption. Edit (in order to reply to David - I am somehow blocked from replying to him): I'm not the government. I don't have the legal right to sta

I have been following these events for months, and I have come to the exact opposite conclusion. First, the United States cannot win a war against both Russia and China at the same time. Second, Europe is starting to crack: see the protests

Firefox on Linux is what works best for me. Konqueror doesn't work at all with TradingView, and Firefox loads faster, too. Chrome is a huge risk to user freedom and security. I refuse to install it.

For at least the past decade, all Tesla vehicles have been sold online, without any middlemen in the way. Legacy automakers and auto dealerships have fought tooth and nail to shut Tesla down, but they are slowly losing the fight. Still, the

Apple’s closed-source system leaves users with zero recourse when the settings app gets worse. With Haiku, at least there is the possibility of a fork. (And it seems quite doubtful that they’d ever put ads for services into Haiku, given tha
