Even people who do take photos often would probably gladly sacrifice some image quality to loose that massive thing on the back of the phone. The thinness of the phone almost make it look worse as long as that camera sticks out like that; like a huge watch with a thin strap or something...
Wow, we do learn something new everyday :-)
The effects were so good for their time as well, a semi-forgotten gem that film.
What a great movie that is! Who can forget that rat breathing liquid oxygen (or whatever they called it), and the water creature making her face to say hello. It seems sort of forgotten now (perhaps it's just me?) compared to other good films from the same era.
That is crazy. It seems Kate Winslet broke Tom Cruise's old record while filming Avatar 2; over 7 minutes(!) in her case:

No it removes information; to be able to focus on one period at a time as it evolves.
Seeing a "living graph" of how something evolves is different than seeing the graph fully drawn statically, that cannot be considered chart junk IMO.
Wouldn't that require some kind of actual policing? Here (in Norway) at least, police does not use any of their time trying to access random data systems looking for personal info stored in violation with GDPR. This is not something anyone fears, so as long as you say you are OK, you are OK.
> Big companies have a real incentive to act.
The company I worked for was almost as big as they come here in Norway (handled extremely sensitive personal information also). We are full of clown tech companies here as well (just like your 'Epic Health Journals' etc.). These kind of companies cannot comply with these types of rules, they cannot even make their own systems work properly.
GDPR did not lead to any actual changes for the company, except they set up a fancy web-page about how serious we where about GDPR. That's the intention?
Many companies cannot possibly remove the info GDPR demands, as they barely know they have it, and they will use minimal efforts to fiddle with this stuff. From what I saw, GDPR is just another example of legislation, that looks good on paper; and the intention is certainly good. But no real change followed; at least where I worked.
The cookie-banner just seems like a very strange "security" measure; but GDPR seems very strange as far as I can tell. It was sparked by the "forget me" campaign a few years ago I guess, and most people probably agree with the intent, but it has led to very strange set of rules.
We should not be bragging about that "security", those cookie pop-ups are just a pointless annoyance. At least I guess we can all agree that there is far more to data security :-)
1. How many developers have actually been working on this stuff
2. Has the guy who set up the wire-frame actually stepped back
3. Are there more developers doing stuff, then what we get the impression of, based on the weekly Teams meetings
All of these questions could be answered in 1 minute by starting 'gource' + increase the speed of the visualization for the past year. I was afraid that this newly hired consulting company was pretending to use less resources then they actually did, in order to sink their hooks into our company, which I could see instantly that they had been doing. I could also see that the "big gun" setting up the wire frame for the project, had not really been taken of the project at all, but had been helping some of the jr. devs all along. Something that would have taken some digging with 'git log' or 'tig'..
The golden combo.
I guess that could be the case; but they do seem quite random.
> I'm guessing they have birds in Trondheim.
We do, mostly seagulls where I park my car :-) But you're not dry wiping away anything they produce, that takes a good scrubbing.
> I haven't tried the roller for the wiper
It makes the experience fully controllable from the steering wheel using one hand, which is very good. One light press on the left stalk, and the menu pops up down on the left corner on the screen where you can roll to your preferred setting. I hate having to go into menus on the touch screen while driving.

Luckily that's not one of the dirty or dangerous jobs it will soon take over :-)
Not that dry conditions. I live in Trondheim, where it rains/snows well over 200 days a year, so it's not wiping off some dry dust of the camera area. It just starts wiping the clean window in perfectly fine weather. At other times it rains quite a bit and it does not come on.
The software update to soft click the left stalk to engage the wiper menu via the left steering wheel roller is a nice quick fix for these situations, so they are doing something.
It seem the whole planet has this obsession :-)
Yes, it works much better on my new Model Y (2024) than my old Model S (2014). But they didn't really solve the original problem, i.e. detecting oncoming traffic vs. street (or other lights) up ahead. The matrix led's darken these areas in any case, and neither street lights or oncoming cars complain of course. But it does not fill me with much confidence.
> Wipers, dunno, they used to be really bad but I have not noticed the issue in the past few months, maybe they have done something.
Then that software update has not come to Norway at least, here they still start wiping in dry conditions, and fail to detect actual rain; so they need to be manually started all the time.
> there are phantom breakings in the exact same spots this and other teslas have driven thousands of times.
Isn't this the problem with AI though? We've taken something we don't fully understand (neural networks) and applied them. We can give them a lot of training data to the point where they seem to be able to do stuff on their own. But when they fail, we really cannot do anything besides adding new nodes to our network and add more training data, and hope for the best. We cannot really say what went wrong, and fix it.
This guy has lost confidence in Musk's promises.
I never really understood how Musk can claim to be so close to full autonomy when these cars clearly struggle with basic things using the exact same system that supposedly drives by itself. Automatic high/low beam or detecting rain does not work very well. You wold think that a system that cannot detect oncoming traffic (high/low beam), or actual rain has some other problems when it comes to self-driving.
That is always the worst experience. The most painful apps always require you to spend another 7 minutes after installation; typing in and verifying your credit card information... That has to be the most convoluted paying experience.
I was almost shocked when I rented a Hertz car (via IKEA), that everything was done through a website. The website asked for permission to use the phone camera to take pictures of the car etc. and off we went. Such a good experience compared to fiddling with a new app..
kelnos> This seems like a bit much. More than a bit much.
I just said that web-design, either done by programmers with zero design experience, or by designers with zero programming experience lends itself towards copy-n-paste (from different resources online). I.e. many people copy-n-paste stuff they don't really know much about in order to make their website look decent. If the underlying technology is complex and difficult to understand, this can lead to an unholy mess that (most likely) developers will have to unwrap.
Of course, not disagreeing with that. It is just done in a way that is complex and cumbersome IMO. CSS is often handled by people with very little programming experience as well. I have worked for companies which gave me HTML templates, and CSS files, and my job as the developer was basically do add dynamic behavior by fetching stuff from their DB and looping over some data here and there to fill out lists/tables with actual content. To me that was very pleasant; but the guy handing me the CSS and HTML templates, had zero programming experience.
I think webdesign already is a copy-n-paste bonanza, where people find something they like, and copy it; if it gets very complicated as well. Developers are often last resort in terms of finding out why something does not work, and I fear complicated CSS after a few rounds of copy-n-paste is going painful to unwrap.
Hmm
