Could potentially show you withering connections you havent interacted with, almost an auto recycle bin with the option to dig on there and bring it back later on but dissapear from your main radius of attention if withered.

Slack has started doing this in the last year or two - these are channels that you rarely interact with - want to leave?

Instagram has something like this where it shows you "least interacted with". It seems broken to me though, as it showed me people who I do interact with.

Thats not the only thing that killed google+ though. I think their aggressive push was their demise, forced all their users to use google+, mangled with youtube and gmail accounts and all that pissed off a lot of users.

Crappy tolerance in the clone parts. I hear the clones got much better now.

Sorry for my foul language but I think we will turn into cybershit if things go bad.

Im glad they chose to do that as opposed to hidden behavior changes that only confuse users more.

The technology is, the production is not but you can contain that, at least in theory. Compare that with gasoline that everytime you obtain energy from it you burn it out of existence and create a mess of the environment.

This is why we should have converted all the cars to run on propane, instead of scrapping them in favour of "cleaner greener diesels" 20 years ago when they started all the "scrappage scheme" bollocks.

The propane is going to get burnt anyway. May as well extract some useful work from it, and when you run a car off it they become ultra low emission.


Their argument: users are free not to think about it.

This is a policy that Tesla put in place, period. Handling control to driver suddenly in a weird moment can make the whole situation even more dangerous as the driver is not primed to handle it on the spot, it’s all too unexpected.

Yep, your comment reminds me of a time my mother was about to hit a bird in the road. However, she was too busy arguing with the passenger to notice, and her driving was starting to become erratic already. I decided not to tell her because I knew that the shock could cause her do something more drastic like crash the car to try and avoid it.

I guess i'll step in for the counter.

How is a car supposed to pre-empt when it is in a situation that is to challenging for it to navigate? Isn't it the driver who should see a situation that looks dicey for FSD and take control?


Maybe the car should not have this dangerous feature in the first place? Or maybe train drivers thoroughly and frequently for when this situation arises it becomes less dangerous.

It seems to me FSD for Tesla is not ready to go into Prod as it is now.


> Isn't it the driver who should see a situation that looks dicey for FSD and take control?

How does a driver judge what is and is not "dicey" from the FSD's perspective?

If you don't have confidence in FSD, then you wouldn't use it in the first place. If you do have confidence, then why would you ever (or how often) would you take over?

Is there some kind of 'confidence gauge' that the FSD displays in how well it thinks it can handle the situation? If there is/was, perhaps the driver could see it dropping and prime himself to take over.


How is a car supposed to pre-empt when it is in a situation that is to challenging for it to navigate?

By anticipating further ahead. If it finds itself into a situation that it can't get itself out of, it means it should have made more defensive choices earlier or relinquish control earlier. And if it doesn't have either the reasoning capacity or the spatial awareness data to do that, it is not fit for general usage and should be pulled.


Was this case FSD or was this earliest generation technology? And does this still happen?

I agree you right in that's what you expect to happen.


Lipstick on a pig, Windows is turning into a botched version of linux.

Windows always has been a Unix alter-ego since DOS 2.x which had started to accept '/' characters as directory separators, or maybe even before that.

I'm still betting on Microsoft buying Canonical one day and releasing their own distro.

I keep waiting for Microsoft to give up on maintaining their own kernel and moving to Linux. Kind of like what they did with the browser engine, and building atop Chrome.

Why would they ever do that though? Breaking backwards compatibility and losing all their work on the NT kernel for no gain?

The unscrupulous in the white house will take your money (for a pardon) no matter what the crime.
