Comment Finally (Score 3, Insightful) 27

I can figure out what hue, contrast, sharpness, and color saturation settings should be on my NTSC television. Anybody remember having to adjust that on a TV .. and the V-hold. Not to mention those rabbit ear antennas. Kids nowadays have it good, sort of. It was also fun now looking back.

This seems like a situation where it's very hard to get excited about the idea that it's the regulator's problem. Did some Canadian fed technically have the authority to inspect? Quite possibly. Is there some sort of justification for even the cost of performing the inspection, much less any undesired knock-on effects of the notion that literally all vessels must be inspected no matter what, in a case like this? Seems harder to make that case.

There are a lot of situations where large portions of the public have no choice but to use products and services that they have no reasonable ability to be "informed" about. Either it's simply not possible if you aren't in a position to legally compel honesty from the vendor or it's a case where "informed" is PhD-level work in the area, or a combination of the two; but some rando's aggressively contrarian submarine that loudly and proudly skips all industry certifications and is available on boutique scale for very wealthy customers doesn't seem like one of those cases.

Yeah because it's directed within a specific area. This is a range of emitters over a large area with a large amount of wave diffractions and interactions. I'm not saying it's unsafe. I don't know the energy levels involved or anything like that. Just that it's not necessarily safe, compared to say non-ionizing radiation or magnetic fields.

0.5 resolution is what a standard MRI provides. If it can do that and differentiate hard and soft tissue I will be impressed. The demo images they showed looked nowhere near the required accuracy. They still have a year to get it working I guess. Ultrasonic is very difficult given blood flow and all the associated movement with heart beating and all that. Also, they claim it is safe due to lack of radiation. But ultrasonic can fuck shit up too. I mean ultrasonic is currently used to break up kidney stones, shear and fragment DNA (for NGS prep).

Differently than common belief, the EV market in Europe is dominated by domestic companies like Volkswagen, Stellantis and Renault, with Tesla and Hyundai/Kia thrown in. Chinese manufactures recently reached a new high with 4.5 percent EV market share. And EV itself is about 25% of total market share. There is not much experience with Chinese EVs so far.

Comment Tesla already perfected FSD (Score 1) 11

FSD has driven me hundreds of times consecutively so far, garage to congested city parking spots, with zero critical intervention on my Tesla. Not just me but look on YouTube etc. you'll see that with version 14 of FSD it's pretty much flawless -- it even handles drive-throughs .. cones/construction zones etc. I'm telling you it's at the point where I'm not sure what more they need to add -- other than accessory features like favorite parking spot memory, parking structure navigation. Someone said it can't see a chain across the road .. never encountered that I guess .. not sure a human could see that either? Note .. FSD is perfected, but Tesla's navigation .. which Google and even Apple solved 10 years ago.. sucks .. but that's because they are refusing to license Google for nav.
