Do you understand that you are cheering for the total destruction of an island with millions of people?

I’d explain the history and actual politics, and why it’s hilarious to refer to the PRC as fascist in comparison to the RoC, but none of that shit matters next to how gross it is to call for the deaths of foreigners from half way around the world.

The DPP is fighting for their constituents (to be used as cannon fodder by America)

The KMT isn’t great, but status quo is infinitely better than having America turn your country into another Ukraine or Afghanistan.

Lets test that: 🧀

Are you a woman now?

Back in like 2016, a huge part of the grift was that Tesla was a tech company and their system would get smarter forever as it got more data.

Using an expensive sensor that can just detect objects instead of relying on computer vision and machine learning is kinda like an admission of failure.

I can’t find what it goes to, but it looks like Baidu and the US company Zoox use them in their robotaxis.

Edit: Lixiang models L9, L8, and L7 use that sensor.

The tesla did not consistently detect that the thing infront of it was a truck, so it didn’t brake. Also, this describes a lot of similar cases.

I remember a youtuber doing similar tests, where they’d try to run over a fake pedestrian crossing or standing in the road at low speed, and then high speed. It would often stop at low speed, but very rarely stopped or swerved at high speed.

to be clear, the secret service cannot prohibit the president from doing anything they really want to do

Was Trump lying when he said the SS wouldn’t take him back to the capital on Jan 6?

I could definitely see him lying about that so he doesn’t look like he abandoned his supporters during the coup, but I could also see the driver being like “I can’t endanger you, mr president” and ignoring his requests.

It was Elon, he was very vocal about how Lidar was an expensive crutch and how machine learning would get so much better than human vision back around 2016ish.

10 - 30 grand

Decent LIDAR sensors have gotten a lot cheaper in the last 5 years or so, here’s one that is used in commercial self-driving taxis: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/X01-36020021-Nev-Auto-Parts-for_1601252480285.html

So they had an issue with the car slamming on the brakes at unexpected times, caused by misidentifying cracks in the road or glare or weird lighting or w/e. The solution was to make the cameras ignore anything they can’t recognize at high speeds. This resulted in Teslas plowing into the back of firetrucks.

As the article mentioned, other self-driving cars solved that with lidar, which elon himself is against because he says AI will just get so good and 2d cameras are cheaper.

Thank you, I will.

Marx made statements about the proletariat without experiencing it or doing field studies

Every economist has made statements about the proletariat, how could you write any economic work without including the working class?

But also Marx was around during 1848 and went to Paris in the wake of the Paris Commune, he wasn’t Che or Stalin, but he certainly wasn’t sitting in an ivory tower writing theories without any input from the reality on the ground.

Marx thought that the most oppressed are the ones most likely to begin a revolution which is wrong

No, Marx thought the industrial working class were the ones most likely to begin a revolution, as opposed to the farmers who (in france, britain, and germany) were much more atomized due to their means of production, which was accurate to France and Germany, though South America, Russia, China, and Korea all proved that the peasant class had revolutionary potential.

Marxist framework

Marx’s framework was examining society from a materialist lens, specifically related to the means of production to understand things, as opposed to idealism; a Marxist historian analyzing the french revolution focuses on the contradiction between the bourgeoisie’s economic power and the aristocracy’s power within the government. A non-marxist focuses on the personalities of individuals involved and the ideas they professed rather than structures. To paraphrase Engels mocking Great Man Theory, it’s a shame Steve Jobs wasn’t born in ancient Egypt, then we could have had iPhones 4,000 years ago.

When something is labeled marxist feminism, it’s not adding feminism to marxism, it’s applying a marxist analysis to feminism.

What’s that a reference to?

Also Adam Smith was a college professor, that’s not a typical proletarian job.

People who went to college in the 17 and 1800s and had the means to gather data aren’t the sort to have typical proletarian jobs.

I’m not talking about all EVs, just Teslas. Most EVs don’t have a tendency to lock the occupants inside after a bad crash.

Here’s a random twitter user compiling news stories of Tesla deaths that prove it’s at least double the Ford Pinto: https://xcancel.com/ton_aarts/status/1593557636695445505

And what one guy on twitter can find is hardly exhaustive.

How many other economists worked typical proletarian jobs?

He worked for various newspapers and published a bunch of books.

Ideology aside, they make some very good PR

They immolate people per vehicle sold than the ford pinto. The have absurd numbers of points of failure; until a few years ago each door handle had over a dozen sensors and wires, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling, and cost $500 each. They use a few hall effect sensors now, but still cost >$500.

Instance admins can tell your IP and presumably browser info if they bother to collect that data.

Take a minute to look through all the photos of hoovervilles. Tens of thousands of people in tents, often with the apartments they were evicted from and the factories closed or running at a fraction of capacity within a few hundred yards in the background.

How would you explain to aliens why tens of thousands of people in every city were driven from their homes, which were left empty, to live in squalor while being prevented from doing anything productive?
