Elon Musk Suddenly Realizes That Teslas With "Self-Driving" Computers May Never Be Able to Actually Self-Drive
  • I’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model.

    That's exactly how they train the model, but every Tesla is opted in with, to my knowledge, no option to opt out.

    Donald Trump’s racist NYC rally was vile. It was also political suicide
  • My thoughts exactly. Every election cycle, there are a slew of "Republican voters won't be able to stomach THIS latest revelation!" articles. Then the Republicans dhed less than a rounding error of their voter base while picking up a nearly equal amount of votes from neo-Nazis or the like.

    The party of immoral hypocrisy, "shockingly", doesn't care about the morality of their candidate so long as they "hurt the right people".

    Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza
  • I have seen some surprisingly uninformed users on the Internet, but you're definitely up amongst the worst of them.

    You know you're on the Internet, right? You can use it to learn things instead of uncritically repeating whatever your favorite talking heads said.

    Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car?
  • We bought a used one and just use a little Android Auto server we built for online services. It's a little extra work but works great, giving me more control and options. No money to Musk that way. He does get our driving data, but we can pull the SIM card out of the car if we want to stop that.

    “This Is Just Terrorism”: Israel Bombs World Heritage Site in Lebanon, Threatens Major Hospital
  • I'm really sick of the whole "criticism of Israel is antisemitism" rhetoric.

    It's just playing dirty. Israel, much like modern conservative politicians, doesn't care about how it achieves its goals. World War II has much of the western world hypersensitive to antisemitism, so conflating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism has been an easy way to stifle discourse.

  • Hah, I haven't thought about Dragonball in ages. Thanks for the laugh.

    Progress through turnover is true, and it's maddening because the core tenets of science are explicitly against this. At our hearts, we're still just apes with extra inflated egos.

    Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes
  • He truly is an idiot. I wish he'd just step down from Tesla. The company has some great ideas, but instead of making them better, he's making everything worse.

    Edit: some of the newer cars are being reequipped with radar but it's not being actively utilized because of idiocy.

    Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes
  • I've also had mixed results. My 2018 Prius is flawless, not a single false brake in nearly seven years. We recently purchased a Tesla (I know, I know, long story) and we had to turn the braking sensitivity so far down that the feature is now basically useless.

    mmmm warm fluids
  • Not in large volumes, but yes. The keto(genic) diet centers around using fat as a primary energy source. I do it as I have a chronic illness and having higher blood ketone concentrations helps immensely with my symptoms. If I have a high protein, lower fat meal (like sashimi), my ketone levels will drop, so I'll supplement with a tablespoon or two of medium-chain triglyceride oil to keep them level. It's practically tasteless.

  • I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

    Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

    >"I live in a right-to-work state, so my employer can shitcan me for any reason". > > -Linus K. Lemming

    Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

    The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

    I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

    Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

    Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

    I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

    Any suggestions?
