The keyboard has a much shorter lifespan than the SSD, and it's incredibly difficult/expensive to replace.

A single bad key or trace and any Apple laptop is basically toast. $800+ to have Apple replace the top cover.

Maybe an independent shop can do it cheaper, I don't know.

I'm assuming the "Gemini 2.5" referenced on this site is Flash, not Pro. Pro is insane, and 3.0 is just around the corner.

It's because anecdotal experience means very little. In ~2021, these vehicles could almost never make it from A to B without a safety-critical intervention.

That they can today doesn't mean they can do the same route 10,000 times without a safety-critical intervention. In fact, public tracking indicates Tesla's numbers are MUCH lower than that.

Both the longer wait time and the double price can likely be explained by the lack of highway.

Highway is coming.

And scale will make it cheaper. It's only cheaper than Uber sometimes currently. That will change.

Something like USAID is established by statute (The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961). It cannot be eliminated or gutted by executive order.

Sidestepping this, which is happening left and right currently, is democracy failing.

Load it in Chrome and cast the tab. Sucks that you have to involve your computer for the duration, but that's the most reliable way to do it IMO.

Seems a very difficult problem to produce a response just on the text given and not past training. An LLM that can do that would seem to be quite more advanced than what we have today.

Though I would say humans would have difficulty too -- say, having read The Three Body problem before, then reading a slightly modified version (without being aware of the modifications), and having to recall specific details.

It's impressive software for an ADAS.

But it's not a robotaxi. Even its level of sensor and compute redundancy is not ready to be a robotaxi. Nothing shown at the Cybercab event changed that. They go for form over reliability every time.

With HW3, they ate their redundant compute node because they underestimated the compute required for the task.

Now even with the redundant node utilized for non-redundant purposes, that doesn't seem to be enough as they are finally admitting HW3 will never not be "supervised".

And then the many years of lying about its upcoming readiness. There are websites out there where you can find all of Musk's quotes about it being just around the corner, or their current generation of vehicles all becoming money-making robotaxis with a little software update worldwide.

There's no indication at all they'll break out of the 100-120 miles per safety disengagement they currently sit at (community tracker, Tesla themselves doesn't publish reviewable safety data).

You being happy that your car can finally make zero intervention trips is NOT the standard necessary for taking the driver out of the seat.

You're not going to be taking that roundabout at 50 mph. That why, significantly before the roundabout, there's a 15 mph roundabout warning that FSD completely ignores.
