They saw “Look at all the cool technology capitalism is going to bring us!” instead of “Holy shit capitalism will use this amazing technology to make everything worse”.

Back in like 2016, a huge part of the grift was that Tesla was a tech company and their system would get smarter forever as it got more data.

Using an expensive sensor that can just detect objects instead of relying on computer vision and machine learning is kinda like an admission of failure.

I can’t find what it goes to, but it looks like Baidu and the US company Zoox use them in their robotaxis.

Edit: Lixiang models L9, L8, and L7 use that sensor.

The tesla did not consistently detect that the thing infront of it was a truck, so it didn’t brake. Also, this describes a lot of similar cases.

I remember a youtuber doing similar tests, where they’d try to run over a fake pedestrian crossing or standing in the road at low speed, and then high speed. It would often stop at low speed, but very rarely stopped or swerved at high speed.

to be clear, the secret service cannot prohibit the president from doing anything they really want to do

Was Trump lying when he said the SS wouldn’t take him back to the capital on Jan 6?

I could definitely see him lying about that so he doesn’t look like he abandoned his supporters during the coup, but I could also see the driver being like “I can’t endanger you, mr president” and ignoring his requests.

It was Elon, he was very vocal about how Lidar was an expensive crutch and how machine learning would get so much better than human vision back around 2016ish.

Decent LIDAR sensors have gotten a lot cheaper in the last 5 years or so, here’s one that is used in commercial self-driving taxis: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/X01-36020021-Nev-Auto-Parts-for_1601252480285.html

So they had an issue with the car slamming on the brakes at unexpected times, caused by misidentifying cracks in the road or glare or weird lighting or w/e. The solution was to make the cameras ignore anything they can’t recognize at high speeds. This resulted in Teslas plowing into the back of firetrucks.

As the article mentioned, other self-driving cars solved that with lidar, which elon himself is against because he says AI will just get so good and 2d cameras are cheaper.

Thank you, I will.

Communism isn’t when everyone lives like a farmer from 200 BC.

Wait billionaires? I’ve been using Saddam Hussein all this time.

Unironically though, you can see the same pattern going all the way back to Rome.[Michal Parenti’s The Assassination of Julius Caesar]

Something about the history of all hitherto existing society being the history of class struggles.

The Khmer Rouge was never socialist, they were some weird feudal ideology, hence why the CIA supported them and the US recognized them as the legitimate government of Cambodia for like 30 years after Vietnam liberated them and put an actual socialist government in power.

Russia hasn’t been socialist since 1992; Putin’s Russia is what happens when you overthrow a democratic state run by the workers for the workers with a vibrant, multiparty capitalist “democracy”.

“Socialism with Chinese characteristics” is more democratic than the US; the average Chinese person feels they have far greater influence on the government than the average American. They tend to be confused why Americans hate and fear the police and why we aren’t able to vote for politicians who will fix the problem.

There’s also Cuba, who had a referendum on a new constitution a few years ago. After years of debate at the community level, they came up with a final draft that 92% of Cubans voted yes on. Could you imagine if we had that level of influence over our own government?

See the thing you’re missing is that the communist parties of these countries themselves democratic; they’re typically structured such that every member above the rank-and-file is elected, with instant recall and “give us a better candidate” options.

Yup. It’s actually crazy how anticommunist propaganda creates so many people who are so confidently wrong about things that are so easy to investigate.

It’s called LTSC IoT, but it’s normal windows. Actually much better because it doesn’t automatically install so much bloat.

The guy you’re responding to is a liberal doing a piss poor parody of a ML.

You can’t do a good parody if you get angry before the punchline, or don’t understand the thing you’re parodying in the first place.

Lemmitors downvoting you because actually learning about the case conflicts with their “cHiNa BaD” circlejerk.

Windows 10 LTSC is supported until 2032, and is free to pirate.

It is an observation of historical facts, I am not prescribing any particular action.

Running in the woods and trying to wage a protracted people’s war against the local police didn’t put the nazis in their place either, so who exactly would I be calling to arms?

American asylums weren’t exactly shining beacons of human rights during that period either. JFK’s sister had her frontal lobe scraped until she could no longer repeat the lyrics of a song because she said problematic things as a woman.
