> no one wants to drive a nazi car. That explains why VW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW are doing so poorly. You know, those companies actually founded by Hitler. First rule of advertising is claim your week points are your strong points, and the first rule of politicizing is blame everyone else for what you are guilty of.

This is why people buy Teslas. My experience on much larger road trips (Montana to TX or CA) is I would never, ever want to do one again in a petrol vehicle.

Exactly, and Kodak makes the best consumer film cameras in the world.

I have a gas SUV and a diesel truck. They are pathetic compared to my Tesla Model Y in every regard except towing and hauling with the truck. This is especially true on road trips. I do not mind those 15+ stops as they are for 5-15 minutes each and I guarantee I have to use the bathroom at each stop. My last road trip from Montana to Texas I could have just as well slept in the back seat the whole way if not for the driver monitoring system. Steering wheels are as dumb as gas tanks. I hate all the time wasted at gas stations, in reality it's much worse than charging. Waking up each day with a full "tank" is amazing. I couldn't imagine using one of the fossil fuel vehicles on a road trip anymore. Want to buy a Subi Forrester or a Dodge Cummins 24 valve 4 door long bed?

I'm pretty confident that Grok CLI 4.6 could one shot this.

The parser cannot even recognize a where clause... Great idea, but make the parser work first.

Think of all the money you can make shorting the stock.

Neither Button Mapper nor Buttons Mapper work. You have to disassemble the remote and put a piece of paper or tape between the contacts.

Downtown Los Angeles: The One Wilshire building, which is the worlds most connected building. There are over twenty floors of data centers. I used Corporate Colo which was a block or two away. That building had at least 10 floors of Data Centers.

keep getting away with what? I've seen multiple photos and no one is in the drivers seat. They do have a person in the passenger seat. Unlike Waymo that had safety drivers for years I suspect they will remove the safety passenger after a few days.

The reason houses in Japan are such a depreciating asset is due to the population collapse. It's estimated there is a surplus of about 10 million houses.

This is also my conclusion, in the same way that if you get into a fender-bender there, you junk the car because it's dishonorable to drive the car after you got into a [minor] accident.

Why do you feel That Tesla FSD is "buggy shit"? No, it's not perfect, but it is mindblowingly amazing. At the current state I'm quite happy with what I paid for it. I've driven over a million miles in the last 35+ years, it's quite nice to have my car drive me now.

Sure do! I was a beta tester. Pippi (sp?) was my contact at DEC. It was cool that the more you ran an x86 exe, the faster it got.

Great, quote the Dawn Project. You know that's a failing autopilot competitor that's faking videos. Look it up on YouTube, there's analysis videos showing that the Dawn Project is lying.

And just who do you believe is the leader? You've never [recently] been in a Tesla with FSD, have you? Tesla FSD is amazing.

Constantly monitoring FSD is no where near as much work as driving. It's also 5x safer than just a human.
