FSD Beta still costs $15k just to be part of the beta program.

Yes, you have to pay $15k just to apply to the beta program, and you still may not get accepted into the program.
So at what value do they start to consider doing their job?

I've never been to Oxford but I'm guessing it has a lower density of bicycles per square meter than Amsterdam. Presumably it's easier for stolen bikes to 'blend in' in Amsterdam?
Again, people need to understand this L3 stuff is for an extremely, extremely limited amount of situations.

Tesla software is used far, far, far more, in far, far more situation. Even compare those to things is kind of silly.

Its like comparing a system designed for only race tracks with Honda Civic. They are simply not designed for the same thing.

If Mercedes achieves L3 in all the places Tesla now allows AP (or FSD Beta) then that would prove the 'bet' on vision wrong.

Until then, nobody has proven anything.

They represent all conservatives who vote republican. Literally, in congress and as our last president. If you vote for a qanoner you can't say they don't represent you.
One of the many utilities I love that comes with my Set App subscription is AlDente Pro. As others have pointed out, it allows me to set 80% as the max for my battery and it also will change the color of the LED on the magsafe connector to green once it gets to 80% and charging stops.

I had optimized battery charging enabled but my Mac seemed to always charge to 100% - with Al Dente I can force it to do what I want.

And recently I found Al Dente pausing charging because the battery temp got too warm. So then I went down a rabbit hole and found out I could tweak the fans up slightly higher with iStat Menus (also part of my Set app sub).
There are other utilities that will do similar things - those just happen to be two I use, especially since I tend to use my MBP plugged in the majority of the time.
One other thing is necessary too, but this is iOS specific: I need a way to dump these to my App Library off my Home Screen. I searched out a few PWAs to see what the current experience is like, and even if I wanted to keep any of these around, I don’t want them on my Home Screen per se.
I guess they think that not being in the beta program also has a non-zero chance of killing you. Either that or they are willing to exchange lower safety for greater pleasure/convenience (which everyone is willing to do sometimes, otherwise they would stay inside 100% of the time). I wouldn't use it myself, however.
For future reference, that was a "inhospitable" scam (Aka uninhabitable scam.)

In many states (at least the ones that get cold) the lack of a working furnace means that the unit is not "hospitable" and the tenant is allowed to withhold rent until the unit is made hospitable. In some states, the tenant is not required to pay rent for the period of time the unit is not "hospitable." Your tenant tried to do that, but failed.
Not in my experience, in fact if you go to similar lengths to wipe cookies and hide your online identity using other additional methods, when I needed to locate a replacement AGM battery for the stop start tech in a car, the best prices I was quoted were £400-£500.

Then used an account with a known online history, ie cookies not wiped etc, search engines and online retailers came back with prices for £100.

So in my limited experience, going to the lengths I did to hide one's identity online will cost you 4x -5x the typical price.

In some respects, these companies have also put a price on the value of online privacy, which is handy to have.

As someone who has had a limited input into supermarket clubcards in the UK, there is a lot of personal data that can be gained from this information even if the supermarkets dont go to the lengths they could.

I dont think people would be happy with what could be extrapolated, like working out how rich a family or shopper is, health conditions before they even get detected by medical experts, what religion they are, have they been made redundant. There is just so much meta data we give away, its quite shocking really.

In the wrong hands, people could carry out their own stealth agenda's. Back in the 90's people were injecting chemicals or tampering with food which prompted food companies to start using foil seals and other methods to ensure food tampering is/was spotted easily. Things like tampering with baby food and liquids.

It also gives the police and security services via court orders, a ready made dataset in order to build any case against you. Its bad enough people can be psychologically profiled using streaming services like Netflix or Amazon or Youview and satellite services connected to the net, but I dont think people value privacy personally and they dont understand how they can be manipulated once some information is known about them.

At the same time, the state has never had access to so much data in order to better target populations to control or manipulate for their own purposes, like we see with election manipulations that saw Brexit and Trump get into power. I saw some of those social media adverts and it was extreme psychological manipulation and even the BBC were involved with some of that data collection on social media.

In my experience, some criminals will operate over decades, cultivating scams especially when large sums of money like asset acquisition is involved.
Exactly, I think that's what this is about. either no need to allow sideloading cause PWAs, or it's an olive branch to iterate closer to prevent the big hammer from dropping. Also of course possible that Apple just supports it, but given then long history of evidence against that I don't consider it likely.
That makes way more sense, but seems like it's a useless feature. I would assume that in that case it would be dislikes from the add-on (or some sort of federated dislike space?), which is really just going to tell you the opinions of people who like disliking things so much they downloaded an add-ons just to see others down-vote it as well.
Agreed. I actually considered retrofitting the existing units with parts from digikey. I am 99% sure the issue is due to total absence of any electrolytic capacitors whatsoever on the PCB.
You'd be surprised how much the reduced cable cost matters to an OEM.
I guess I figured there was some import to the idea of ideological capture. If by that you mean leaders can set direction of their company, some can disagree and leave and found a competitor, and the winner can prevail in the market, then, that’s what I call market capitalism and what you call ideological capture I suppose.

(You’re spelling “ideological” incorrectly)

> They weren't interested - they told me to contact West Midlands police. So I rang them. No, they were not going to investigate: "Don't you realize how many Porsches are stolen in this city every day?" Also, they said they can't just walk in and have a look around (I guess they need a warrant, which is fair enough; but then why not get a warrant?)

I've seen/heard this numerous times. Cops really don't give a shit about theft unless it's from a business. But I wonder if you could just sue the homeowner for the bike in small claims court. Do you have something like that in your jurisdiction? I mean you can prove they're in possession of your property. Nothing criminal, just have a judge order them to at least compensate you for the bike.

Virtualization of Windows on ARM Through Parallels Desktop
I agree. Its not releasing products that's a problem, its having a long term vision and commitment.

I always see two conflicting takes on HN. That Google abandons their products or they haven't done anything recently. Not every product can be a worldwide success, but how do you know it until you try and fail or succeed? Failing means abandoning it.

I'd like it if Google frequently creates new products marked Beta for a long time and making them core-products depending on their success. After that, I'd also like it if we stop blaming Google for "killing" products.

The problem is Google releases new products without a Beta tag, even when they aren't sure if they will succeed or not.

All Teslas come with Autopilot. It's adaptive cruise control and automatic steering that will keep you in your lane. It's awesome, and I love it.

"Enhanced" autopilot, which currently is $6000 extra, is automatic lane change, automatically taking exits, summon, and automatic parking.

The automatic lane change is nice, but it fails too often to be worth thousands of dollars. All the rest of the features are basically party tricks.

If I could have automatic lane changes for much less, I'd happily pay extra for it.

Edit: Enhanced Autopilot was $7k extra when I bought my 2nd Tesla, now it's $6k extra.
There are a few manufacturers that make silent racks[1]. They're hard to come by, and are much more expensive than regular racks, but there's a small market for them.

Otherwise, manual soundproofing is an option, but then you have heat to deal with.

Most servers aren't very loud unless you're stressing the hardware, and fan settings can usually be tweaked, or fans replaced with silent alternatives.

Still, you wouldn't want this kind of equipment humming next to you in the same room, so it's best to dedicate a small server closet, room, or garage, if you have the space.

That said, a custom server build in a rack mounted enclosure is not the same as using enterprise servers. My gaming PC is in a 4U enclosure and is as quiet as any tower PC.

Your source is spinning the definition of lie, for some reason.
I shouldn't be surprised anymore that people on the internet would down vote a comment like this, but I am.

Seriously, what's the logic there? Someone has a problem with me taking issue with someone using "mental damaged people" as a way of describing people who make poor decisions? Try replacing "mental damaged people" with "gay people" or "brown people" or "millennials" or "old people" and see how you feel. Maybe it'll help make sense as to why "mental damaged people" is equally unacceptable.

Imagine if I'd suggested that the parent commenter was "mental damaged"? I think most people would agree that would be out of line, and it absolutely would be, yet do we feel the same way when the parent commenter calls other people the same thing? Is it more acceptable because they're some ambiguous and faceless group of people with terrible headlight etiquette?

People don't need to have a mental illness to make poor decisions. People do just fine without help.

Suggesting that people with disruptive high beams are "mental damaged people" is harmful because it reinforces views that people with mental illnesses are "less than", or are stupid or not trustworthy, or scary. They're not. They're people we know and love, and they're often struggling to even admit that they need help. It's hard enough without also feeling like society will look down on you for something you didn't ask for and have little control over.

It's also just incorrect. People who are not "mental damaged people" have headlights that are too bright and adjusted poorly.

Note the first HN guideline for commenting says "Be kind,", and I think calling out harmful behavior counts. My motivation isn't to fire of zingers and get points and show how virtuous I am. It's because I love, live with, am related to, work with, and care for people in my life who struggle with mental illness. Odds are the parent commenter does too. Odds are that other readers do too. Calling out bad behavior that harms marginalized people and people with similar challenges might not be fun to be called out on, especially if it wasn't the intention, but might change how you communicate on the internet.

That said, by calling out downvotes, I'm equally as guilty of not honoring the HN guidelines as the parent commenter. If readers choose to focus on that single violation, that's a choice they're free to make, though I'd encourage you to consider my arguments before making that choice.

Maybe, but, as a millennial, buying things makes me less happy. There is the initial agony over whether or not it is a worthwhile purchase and if I decide it is worthwhile there is regret that it wasn't quite what I expected to follow. Something has to really make me think that it will improve my life dramatically to consider accepting the pain.
He's in "I want corroboration" territory for me. The big scoops - My Lai, Abu Gharaib - were backed up with hard evidence and other organizations confirming the allegations. Stuff like "the US faked Bin Laden's burial and chucked chunks of him into the mountains" have, thus far, not been.

Lol. This is about the level pedantry I guess I should expect on HN. But... yes. It's obviously a bit of an exaggeration. Like zero-emissions vehicles, "zero waste" is a colloquial expression. Vegans probably eat hundreds of small bugs every year—does that mean they're not really vegan?

The point is that it's an effort to approach, as closely as is possible, zero. You'll never reach 0. But you can do a hell of a lot better than status quo.
The problem is that almost no other car company is yet seriously fixing things with OTA. And 99% of cars on the road don't have OTA. So fixing the naming will likely happen but it will take a while.

Its crazy that Tesla has been doing OTA for 10+ years and today many cars are released that are not capable of being upgraded.

And even those few cars that do support OTA only support it for a very limited amount of system. Often they still need to go to the shops because lots of software lives on chips and sub-components that can't be upgraded.

The difference is that Apple has rules about what can going into App notifications, and if developers don't follow the rules they can kick the app out of the App Store. (Not saying they couldn't be better about this, but it's at least an option even if it's not perfect.) But they'll have no control over what notifications from web pages you've put on your home screen show. It will make notifications a worse experience for users all around.
Absolutely not, it's beholden to Congress.
> The OTA updates do provide an avenue to make cars much safer by reducing the friction for these type of safety fixes.

True, but let us also acknowledge the immense systems safety downsides of OTA updates given the lack of effective automotive regulation in the US (and to varying degrees globally).

OTA updates can also be utilized to hide safety-critical system defects that did exist on a fleet for a time.

Also, the availability of OTA update machinery might cause internal validation processes to be watered down (for cost and time-to-market reasons) because there is an understanding that defects can always be fixed relatively seamlessly after the vehicle has been delivered.

These are serious issues and are entirely flying under the radar.

And this is why US automotive regulators need to start robustly scrutinizing internal processes at automakers, instead of arbitrary endpoints.

The US automotive regulatory system largely revolves around an "Honor Code" with automakers - and that is clearly problematic when dealing with opaque, "software-defined" vehicles that leave no physical evidence of a prior defect that may have caused death or injury in some impacted vehicles before an OTA update was pushed to the fleet.

EDIT: Fixed some minor spelling/word selection errors.
