I don't think there's an official divergence in terminology other than the version numbers (which have mostly stopped incrementing for FSD vehicle owners, meanwhile there is a lot …

> Do you really want to trust... No, but the regulator helps here - they do their own independent evaluation > What happens when Tesla decides... the regulator should pressure them…

agreed - I said FSD team to distinguish from "the crowds" but this was the wrong wording, should be the regulator too.

I agree it's a major mistake + should get a lot of focus from the FSD team. I'm just unsure whether that directly translates to prohibiting a robotaxi rollout (I'm open to the poss…

> Your argument that a newer version is better I actually didn't say that and am not arguing it formally - I said what I said because I think that the version difference is somethi…

that should have been in my list, you're right

re. extrapolation: I agree with that, but remember there's sampling error. The crashes/failures go viral but the lives saved get zero exposure or headlines. I don't think that mean…

This has done the rounds on other platforms. A couple of important points: - the failure here is that the car didn't stop for the bus on the other side of the road with the extende…

BTW - I see you have a LLM answering questions based on your docs on the help pages (which is great). So really I mean for customer support issues that are raised outside this chan…

Congrats, this is a great story! One small thing: > Every time I check out competitors' sites — those who also build knowledge base or customer support platforms — I notice somethi…

Over 50% of Tesla's sales are model Y which is going through a version upgrade at the moment. The new version is widely publicised, much better than the old one, and will be availa…

Did anyone else read this as "Firing programmers for (AI will destroy everything)" or have I been reading too much Yudkowsky

I've been finding The Prize surprisingly light on technical details - I'm 1/3 of the way through the book and half way through the chronology of the oil industry and it hasn't even…

I would guess that this is correct. My dreams are very much like half way between waking consciousness and a surreal movie - my consciousness doesn't seem to play a part in generat…

Just like being in a dream. Trying to run towards "that hill over there" only for it to get further away as you take each step, or it disappear when you take your eyes off it for a…

I'm a software engineer and musician. My music is an art project and is currently loss making. For a while I was able to negotiate part time by using contacts I got going through a…

I feel like better transparency about policy holders’ attitude to home maintenance leads to better pricing of risk and that’s a good thing - the problem is really the lack of warni…

Plastics in landfill also break down to make methane. The carbon source in this case is fossil fuel. Also, if the food gains the carbon as CO2 but releases it on decomposition as C…

I get that regulatory capture is a bad thing if done for the reason of creating a moat, but where is the evidence that creating a moat is the primary motivation here? AI researcher…

Hmm, still not sure I agree. Reducing emissions to close to 0 is definitely very important but it seems probable that we'll reach a steady state where some niche sources of carbon …

this isn't quite right - if you use zero carbon sources (e.g. solar) to power carbon removal the operation would be net carbon negative. "but why wouldn't you just use that solar c…

what does all-stock mean when it's an IPO'd company? I've always thought that a liquid asset like Uber stock is basically as good as cash, so why do they even bother mentioning tha…

the skin in the game here is incredible

thanks for the link edit!

Yep, 10 years here and never seen it either. Maybe these people target more touristy areas. Author is a she btw :)
