Thanks!

Gotcha, thanks!

It’s super cathartic, I agree. Feels extra good when it’s big tech and fascist-owned as well.

Take my up vote. I agree with everything in that comment. 👍

Streaming doesn’t work. You are probably thinking about Microsoft flight sim, which completely fails (and is the first “completely streamed” map).

Streaming might be the wrong word. I’m talking about loading just enough data to do what’s relevant right now. And I’m not talking about full 3D geometry of the world, that’s not helpful to a vehicle. It needs to know in 2D where it can and cannot drive, as well as real non-static/dynamic obstacles (what the cameras and LIDAR are for).

You don’t need gigabytes of data to load a 2D geometry of a small area like a part of a city, surely. You can also cache it on disk. Your phone can even do this. In fact, you can ask it to cache however wide of an area as you’d like. You might hit several hundred megabytes but that’s like a whole midsize city probably.

the only problem is [I] have my RSS reader only once a month or even less.

Maybe that’s something you can do something about. 🤷‍♂️😅

I think the problem is that people don’t want to be just “other”. Because that’s what “xer” is.

I am cis and straight, so I don’t have full comprehension of what it feels like not to conform to the norm, but even I understand that if we have only one other pronoun, like “xer”, it’s just saying “the one that isn’t the norm”, and it doesn’t matter if you make it sound like one of the other “normal” pronouns. That doesn’t normalize it. It just silently, yet officially and publicly reaffirms its abnormal quality.

We have to realize that there’s obviously a floating spectrum here, and people don’t fall into predefined buckets sometimes. Some do, but some don’t.

The human brain is built and evolved into a categorization machine. What is edible, what isn’t. What is attractive, what isn’t. What is safe, what isn’t. Black and white, good and evil. We want it simple, and we get confused, afraid, and angry when it isn’t simple. This is something we must recognize about ourselves, and really work hard to go against if we want to evolve our way of thinking.

This is clearly evident in the way you express yourself here.

THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR NAME

MEMEME

friggin annoying

Please, can you just be like everyone else

most people would be fine with this

my special snowflake pronoun

Your anger and fear of the complicated shines through much brighter than you might think. I think it’s time you sat down and had a big, long thinking about who you want to be and what you really want to say.

Much love to you, and thank you for opening yourself up.

Is that Arch-based btw?

I think what they really mean is “I don’t want another account”.

Are we talking about the author of the article or the initiator of the Xlibre project?

Now I understand where all this “there were Hamas leaders in there, I swear” stuff comes from after the AI selects all those hospitals to bomb…

This contradicts what I’ve heard others say about it. I have a feeling it is quite subjective, and this might just be an anecdotal recommendation because you have an easy time with it. Maybe I will too! But maybe I won’t.

Either way, one part of me really wants to try it, but one part has very little time in life. 🥲

Also comparing it to C++ might not be the flex we think it is. 😅

Does the taxi driver remember every sign in the city, every road and parking spot? No.

having a 3d map of everything in the city in the memory

you don’t go putting the entire world into memory

Cars don’t do this either, do they? Surely this type of data is streamed as needed. Just like video games do. This type of optimization has been around for decades… We need not worry about that in cars either.

I’m just saying that GPS and LIDAR is needed in addition to just camera input.

Exactly!

humans are good enough with just our two eyes

This requires the car to have an equally sophisticated visual cortex as well, which we cannot achieve right now. Cars need those better sensors to equal our abilities.

God, hearing his stupid arguments shows us he really knows nothing about anything.

Very stupid. 🫩

Probably would still use TypeScript, because I use that for work. 🤷‍♂️ Rust just seems like… a lot. Regarding Rust, I’ve seen a lot of praises and a not so insignificant amount of complaints that make me very hesitant to take the plunge. Can’t remember off the top of my head what it was, specifically, but it was enough for me to write it off, that much I remember.

drive ‘like humans’, only relying on vision […] without pre-mapping.

Demanding a computer to behave like humans

So basically their taxis will go into the job of driving a taxi without any prior knowledge of the city? Like a human? Only relying on road signs? Will it also stop to ask for directions? Like wtf? What kind of stupid idea is this from Tesla. Sounds absolutely moronic.

A human taxi driver doesn’t work like this. They are people who know the city very well going in, or at least used to before GPS navigation in vehicles came to aid.

Exactly. Or that silhouette of a spinning ballerina. I can switch the direction that she is spinning at will as well. There’s nothing to go by because it’s a perfectly flat, projected silhouette without any shadows, so anybody is free to interpret the rotation however they like. 😁
