It’s a lot cheaper than a Ferrari or Lamborghini or Koenigsegg.

Autopilot and FSD are two different things.

Slave trade was not a product of the enlightenment. That idea is 1000s of years old.

Nothing stopped NASA from doing what SpaceX did. Or New York City. Its not like they started with billions and billions. In fact, many claims that it was all funded by the government. Well, why didn't they just built it themselves?

Re:BMW Overtakes Tesla in European EV Sales for First Time on Friday August 23, 2024 @07:14PM (#41333926)
This! ^^

Tesla produce a lot of for the EU in China. They have a schedule where for each quarter, months 1, 2 and 3, in Month 1, they produce cars. In Month 2 they sail them over from China. And in Month 3, they arrive and are sold.

BMW managed to overtake Tesla in the first month of Q3, barely. When Tesla really had no cars for sale.

Teslas are the most reliable cars you can buy and has the most loyal customers.

Re:Is the Remote Work Future? on Sunday April 28, 2024 @11:06AM (#40189133)
I love working remote, but in my current management position, it is really hard to know what people are doing.

We have 4 developers. 2 are just performing. 1 is Ok. 1 does whatever he feels like. And one seems to be focused on something else.

So, its not clearcut if remote is good or bad. It depends on the developer.

The owner of the Dawn project also owns an FSD competitor if I recall correctly.

We are all trained on copyrighted input. That is not a problem. What is a problem is if you reproduce it and try to claim copyright for that. If someone wants to create their own image of Mario in an AI, so what?

The ADL also defines racism as something that only white people are capable of. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us/anti-defamation-league-rac... They changed the definition in 2022 from: "Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another." to "The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people."

Re:Using Suffix Trees to Detect Homology at Scale on Sunday October 29, 2023 @01:36PM (#38060808)
Agree completely. I didn't read the entire article, but suffix trees are not hard to build in near linear time. I'm sure I was taught this in basic algorithms in 1993.

The fast inverse square root also deserved to be there. It ushured in the age of real 3d games. And killed SGI.

"So—why hasn’t anyone investigated this question to satisfaction yet?"

Would take too long.

This looks remarkably like the dosbox conf format. Im sure you have reinvented something from the 90s?

  [sdl]

  # fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.
  # fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
  # fullresolution -- What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
  # windowresolution -- Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
  # output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,ddraw.
  # autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
  # sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
  # waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
  # priority -- Priority levels for dosbox: lowest,lower,normal,higher,highest,pause (when not focussed).
  #             Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
  # mapperfile -- File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.
  # usescancodes -- Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

  fullscreen=false
  fulldouble=false
  fullresolution=
  windowresolution=2048x1536
  output=ddraw
  autolock=false
  sensitivity=100
  waitonerror=true
  priority=higher,normal
  mapperfile=mapper.txt
  usescancodes=true
