And don’t skip the ad nine minutes in, it’s hilarious.

The TLDR is that the founder is a nervous introverted nerd, so even though it looks like it, he wasn’t intentionally lying when he mentioned things that were going to be in the game. Even taking the interviews into account, what really drove the hype train was the price tag and collector’s edition.

Yes we all now know that they are “the good guys” because they went back and added a bunch of free stuff to the game. But unfortunately this type of integrity should never be expected in the future, especially from a publicly traded studio who is legally obligated to do what is profitable (which probably means taking the money and running, or adding micro transactions or other things).

A great comeback story, for sure. And I hope their integrity continues. But keep in mind that Blizzard, Rockstar, and even CDProjektRed have all “fallen”.

I read the article and I don’t get what the game changer is. If it’s not a breakthrough in energy density, who cares?

That’s definitely not the rule. I’m not taking the kid-height urinal just cuz it’s the furthest one.

He already has infinite money. Don’t let that stop you from getting the car if you want the car.

Please describe this zero-to-little effort attack chain.

Your speed is directly tied to how hard you’re pressing the accelerator. You don’t have to guess momentum. If you fully let go the the accelerator, your rate of deceleration is tied to how much you can regen. If the battery is too full, the regen brakes can’t absorb as much (the metaphor I like is imagining a full piece of luggage, it’s hard to jam it from 90 to 100% full) - so instead of slowing the car down and not being able to absorb the energy, it’ll just not slow down as much so it doesn’t give waste energy - - this is actually pretty dangerous, so now there is a setting so that in situations like this, the car will use the real brakes so that you have a consistent maximum deceleration when letting go of the accelerator.

If the computer crashes the screen goes black so you lose the speedometer. It even rarer now and reboots quickly but obviously if you have a first time passenger they’re gonna freak out. The car still has a normal brake, you just never use it since you wanna max the regen. If you use the real brakes, and browse the energy consumption screen it’ll let you know how much battery you’ve wasted by not using regen and, if you have the safety score enabled you will probably get shit on for driving unsafely (if you need to use the real brake this means you are exceeding the capacity of the regen brake so yeah you’re doing something erratic) - in California, this safety score cannot be used against you for insurance rates.

Only the cyber truck is full drive by wire. Idk the extent of it but there should be “mechanical connections” in the other cars. There’s also a mechanical door handle that damages the trim if you use it (tell your passengers how to properly open/close doors)

Don’t test drive unless you have the money to buy, lol. I already kinda knew I was gonna get one (I had just gotten hit by a drunk driver and used it as a catalyst to upgrade since I really wanted the FSD), but I was sold on the instant torque and the one pedal driving. You just envision yourself wanting to pass someone on the freeway, and the other dude doesn’t stand a chance. It’s awesome.

If you wanna coast just use cruise control. Otherwise you have to keep the “gas” slightly pressed to maintain speed. It’s way better but the very real downside is that you forget how to drive ice cars.

No way bro, single pedal driving is amazing. There’s also voice commands and you can hotkey stuff to the left scroll wheel (I use it for toggling chill/performance mode), and you can put it in autopilot if you really gotta use the touchscreen - but how often do you need to do something not covered by voice commands steering buttons?

I don’t get it. A baby is going to throw darts at a tied-up dog?

Most men like women with hairy legs?

It’s so you know who is scanning you.

lmao that’s not an ad, dude.

They aren’t “pee” tapes, they are P tapes - pedophilia

I actually think they’re “too small”. Didn’t they shrink the size sometime after that dude broke the bulletproof window? I swear it was bigger on that demo.

What do you mean? LineageOS works on the 11

Now do it for southwest, where it actually matters.

All the colors in the fucking universe and they pick three shades of gray.

If the camera system + software results in being 1% safer than a human, and a given human can’t afford the lidar version, society is still better off with the human using the camera-based FSD than driving manually. Elon being a piece of shit doesn’t detract from this fact.

But, yes, a lot of “ifs” in there, and obviously he did this to cut costs or supply chain or blahblah

Lidar or other tech will be more relevant once we’ve raised the floor (everyone getting the additional safety over manual driving) and other FSDs become more mainstream (competition)

I wear many hats. You failed, BTW.
