  • A decent camera only vision system should still be able to detect the wall. I was actually shocked at the fact that Tesla failed this test so egregiously.

    If you use two side by side cameras you can determine distance to a feature by calculating the offset in position of the feature between the two camera images. I had always assumed this was how Tesla planned to achieve camera only FSD, but that would make too much sense.

    Even if they wanted to avoid any redundant hardware and only go with one camera for each direction, there is still a chance they could've avoided this kind of issue if they used structure through motion, but that's much harder to do if the objects could be moving.

  • From the article:

    According to EarthSky, this comet (known colloquially as Comet A3, for obvious reasons) is special, as it’s the brightest to cross our planet’s sky in 27 years, leading some to dub it the Comet of the Century.

  • We were able to see it with the naked eye. Our area has less light pollution than most, but still very much not a dark zone.

    Wait long enough after sundown that it gets pretty dark. Even if its lower in the horizon, it'll be easier to see if it's still in your field of view.

    I went to the beach with some friends to watch at sunset. We kept looking for it. Even using Stellarium and binoculars we didn't see it and assumed it was too low to the horizon and obscured by haze.

    It got dark. We figured we weren't gonna see it. We started looking at the other stars/constellations as they became visible with advanced darkness. We were just about to pack up and go home when we realized we could plainly see it!

  • Should everyone go destroy art galleries? Housing crisis = art destruction?

    Do you not agree? Over half a million homeless are without homes. People are dying, and the homeless are largely being dehumanized or ignored. There is a very real human cost far beyond a piece of art or the barrier protecting it.

    If you're looking for objective quantifiable criteria on right vs wrong, you'll never find it. Morality often falls into a grey area involving tradeoffs, but bringing attention to a societal issue with huge human costs just for splashing soup on a plastic barrier seems pretty effective to me.

  • That would make business side incentives more aligned with the user side, but I could never see anything with a high barrier of entry accumulating enough users to actually be usable.

    Maybe its free at first and as it grows in size and activity the cost goes up? That feels kinda sketchy

  • I see this more as a tool for people who notice reduced battery life and want to do something about it. Currently they essentially need to guess if the battery is the issue and get it replaced to find out.

    If you notice your battery life shortening, the health check can either confirm that you will see improvement with a new battery, or it will tell you your battery is okay, and reduced life is due to software changes or increased usage.

  • Yes, the stock market did so much better under Trump. There are many many reasons underlying the performance of the market under each of them.

    For example most of the time trump was president was pre pandemic, but Biden was president through most of the pandemic. Trump was also president during the pandemic stimulus and enhanced unemployment payments, then Biden was president when all of that spending materialized into inflation which spooked the markets, and then caused interest rates to rise, prompting the tech layoffs
