I haven't used the Ford system but I have used the Tesla system and it requires you to move the wheel at a pretty annoyingly and regular frequency to remain in autopilot mode. I believe the cabin camera can also detect when you are on your phone or looking away - but i'm not sure if this is rolled out to non-FSD cars.

I think the frequency that you have to prove you are paying attention is about every 30 seconds

"The same goes for her stance regarding CEO Elon Musk. In March 2020, for example, Dr. Cummings seemingly joked about needing someone to stop her from punching Elon Musk in the face. "

"It should be noted that Dr. Cummings’ seat at Veoneer was not disclosed when she published a paper (which was later updated to remove inaccurate details about a fatal Tesla crash) criticizing systems such as Autopilot for their possible dangers. And so far, the incoming NHTSA senior safety adviser has not shared if she would be leaving her post at the Swedish LIDAR company, especially since she would soon be advising a US safety agency on driver-assist systems that adopt both LIDAR and non-LIDAR solutions. "

"Missy Cummings receives around $400,000 worth of stock in Swedish LIDAR company Veoneer per year as compensation for her role as a non-employee member of the board."

As another commenter mentioned EBS is quite a bit better than just a SSD in a number of ways. You can resize it, it has published resiliency numbers, quick and easy snapshots, etc etc

Also worth noting that the newest generation (GP3) is 0.08/GB/Month although like all things Amazon there are other charges to take into account.

I'm also not sure what you are stating is racist conspiracy nonsense - I only see one comment from OP at the moment.

The writeups of high mileage Tesla's that I have read have not mentioned very many repairs - and that seems to be the general consensus on the owner's forums.

Note that software updates are also considered 'recalls' on Teslas now.

one data point on a high mileage model 3 : https://electrek.co/2020/09/26/tesla-model-3-high-mileage-ex...

There are a lot of high mileage Teslas out there. Most of Tesla's negative reputation seems to be people complaining about fit and finish (paint, panel gaps). The actual mechanical reliability seems to be quite higher than a normal ICE car. However EVs are still pretty new so long term data is still being collected.

Tesla topics seem worse than political topics on HN for triggering blind rage

If you want to stay on the Kubernetes route check out k3s. Super easy to setup and usable for small production workloads

Kubernetes and 'DEVOPS' are the new hotness at non-FANG companies as they are always 5-10 years behind the trends. Expect to see more of it before it goes out of fashion.

Also DevOps is just a title. Nobody read the book, nobody is trying to create what the original guy at Google or whatever had in mind. It is just a all encompassing job doing the same activities that the sysadmin used to do. HR tells companies that they should rename their sysadmin departments to DevOps departments and everything else continues as normal.

The whole 'techlead' thing did always seem like a joke, he was definitely either making fun of himself, or making fun of the prestige of working for the big tech companies.

I haven't watched any of his recent videos but it seems like he has shifted focus to just making $$. Maybe he should have tried to hold onto a tech job :D

I used to watch his videos occasionally because I liked his dry humor and quirky takes. However his humor eventually got so dry that I am unable to tell what is a joke and what is real anymore. Looking back I think it is possible that everything on his youtube is made up.

Lately he seems to have optimized heavily towards generating youtube clicks. This seems to be a pretty obvious case of him deliberately generating controversy to drive traffic.

I'm not sure why anyone is making EVs without heat pumps - that is something Tesla pioneered years ago - and seems to be the obvious route to take for heating.

Biden bans ammo imports from Russian - the main source of 7.62x39 ammo - one of the most common rifle rounds in the US. This massively spikes the cost of ammunition.

Biden has also pushed the ATF recently to start more shenanigans with redefining things in relation to SBRs, Pistol Braces, and Supressor parts. It remains to be seen what effect this will have.

I can tell you aren't a gun owner of course but you might still find the ATF interesting. Basically they 'reinterpret' things as they see fit and thereby things that were legal become illegal (but almost never the other way around). Its a work around as they are basically creating new laws - however that is not legally a power assigned to them.

Sounds like we should keep the guns ??

Oh come on :) You can't tell me you haven't heard of this?

edit - this is why left wing groups try to shut down all discussion of him by screaming antisemitism, and why right wing groups are convinced he is the root of all evil.

I would call people who write c/c++ code 'programmers' - interesting to see that title is not universal.

If you are wondering where all the c/c++ programmers (system engineers) are - they are in the defense industry - or at least all the ones that I know are.

The main thing that is different about the AWS folks is they expect people to treat them like they are geniuses because they work at Amazon. Whatever solution they come up with becomes "the gold standard" because of who they work for, even if it doesn't work. The other thing that sets them apart is they can spin up free amazon accounts to test things - which is an incredibly massive advantage that they do not extend to contractors

I suppose most people are better in person than they are on twitter - I should stop reading people's twitter accounts :D
