What auto insurance company would insure an unproven tech like this at a reasonable rate?

If someones willing to insure it, it must cost an arm and a leg at least at this point in time in the cycle?

Are they even insured like typical insurance?

If Tesla owns it, don’t they just pay out of pocket as needed, they don’t actually have a monthly payment to themselves or anything?

Regular FSD rate has the driver (you) monitoring the car so there will be less accidents IF you properly stay attentive as you’re supposed to be.

The FSD rides with a saftey monitor (passenger seat) had a button to stop the ride.

The driverless and no monitor cars have nothing.

So you get more accidents as you remove that supervision.

Edit: this would be on the same software versions… it will obviously get better to some extent, so comparing old versions to new versions really only tells us its getting better or worse in relation to the past rates, but in all 3 scenarios there should still be different rates of accidents on the same software.

Sigh, now in CSI when they enhance a grainy image they AI will make a fake face and send them searching for someone that doesn’t exist, or it’ll use a face of someone in the training set and they go after the wrong person.

Either way I have a feeling they’ll he some ENHANCE failure episode due to AI.

Unless the raw whole chicken is on sale, I’ve never seen one cheaper than a cooked rotisserie one at a grocery store.

Not at Costco.

You mean the chicken that’s $7.99 CAD, that feeds a single person 5-6 meals before taking the carcass / left over bits and making a soup out of it that feeds me for even more days at the cost of only rice and veggies?

What’s next, PCB producers?

It’s not clear how automakers will respond to this deregulation, as they all operate globally and the U.S. accounts for just one, albeit big, market.

Its going to come down to money.

Is the tech to keep it cleaner cheaper than not?

If it saves them $50 a car to use something less clean they’ll use it if they can sell it nationwide vs using the more expensive part for global exports.

If they can’t do it at a national level due to specific state rules, then they’d probably just use the more expensive option everywhere to keep production and supply chains for the country the same.

Ah yes, so i can be imprisoned and used as a bargaining chip, no thanks.

What a shame it would be if a drone took out their test planes and factory, maybe they’d have to fold the business!

Something in my computer monitor isn’t shielded and will alert me to a incoming cell phone call a second or two before the phone rings.

I’m pretty sure the only way this is true, is if they qualify their best developers as the developers who use AI the most and by absolutely no metric which would indicate this is actually good code.

Copilot - I see you’re using a random function, would you like to buy this cool shirt whose designer used Math.random() to help make them all unique?

Ah that’s a really good point about danger… If you miss who knows where the fuck it’ll end up and who’s there.

You could try to get below things to shoot up, but that seems really restrictive.

Do jets generate enough extra power to do a sustained laser to knock it out?

There are newer LFP portable batteries with <10ms UPS switch times that charge quickly and will keep the power on longer. They also have much longer battery life’s (3000+ cycles) , and LFP cells don’t degrade the same when kept at 100% like other types, although you should still cycle them a few times a year.

Bluetti makes some, the elite series has their latest UPS features. The non elite are slower and noisier.

Its all fairly new and have been improving year over year. For example, earlier models may not have switched back on if power was out for a long time and it fully drained the battery. Now some models can turn back on.

Edit: more details.

Lots of cool info in that article including things like pricing!

Ya, macs are definitely more efficient with their ram.

I’ll have Android Studio open for my main work, Intellij Idea for all the backend work, and Xcode when I need to tweak some iPhone things. (edit: usually it’s just 2 of the 3, but sometimes its all 3)

I also mainly use real devices for testing,and opening emulators if all 3 are open can be a problem, and it’s so annoying opening and closing things.

I wish I had a 32gb ram laptop.

I can have 3 development IDEs open at once, and with all the browser tabs open and a few other programs here and there its stretching the limits on my Mac.
