They still won’t take it.

I dodnt not read it because “reading bores me.” i didn’t read it because i was busy. I have people round digging up my driveway, i have a 7 week old baby and a 5 year old son destroying the house :p i have prep for work and i just did a bit of browsing and saw the post. Felt compelled to comment for a brief break.

Im not sure what you mean by “silly opinion.” Everyone who has been arguing with me has been stating that everyone knows that teslas dont use LiDAR, and thats why this test failed. If everyone knows this, then why did it need proving. It was a pointless test. Did you know: fire is hot and water is wet? Did you know we need to breathe air to live?

No?

Better make an elaborate test, film it, edit the video, make it last long enough to monetise, post it to youtube, and let people write articles about it to post to other websites. All to prove what everyone already knows about a dangerous self driving car that’s been around for 11 years…

I am sorry, i just dont get it. I felt like I was pointing out the obvious in saying that a test that’s tailored to give a specific result, which we already know the result of, is a farcical test. It’s pointless.

Excuse me.

1. Did you write the article? I genuinely wasn’t aiming my comment at you. It was merely commentary on the context that is inferred by the title. I just watched a clip of the car hitting the board. I didn’t read the article, so i specified that i was referring to the article title. Not the author, not the article itself. Because it’s the title that i was commenting on.

2. That wasn’t an 18 wheeler, it was a ground level board with a photorealistic picture that matched the background it was set up against. It wasnt a mural on a wall, or some other illusion with completely different properties. So no, i think this extremely specific set up for this test is unrealistic and is not comparable to actual scientific research, which i dont dispute. I dont dispute the fact that the lack of LiDAR is why teslas have this issue and that an autonomous driving system with only one type of sensor is a bad one. Again. I said i hate elon and tesla. Always have.

All i was saying is that this test, which is designed in a very specific way and produces a very specific result, is pointless. Its like me getting a bucket with a hole in and hypothesising that if i pour in waterz it will leak out of the hole, and then proving that and saying look! A bucket with a hole in leaks water…

That’s fair.

I didn’t intend to give tesla a pass. I hoped that qualifying what i said with a “fuck tesla and fuck elon” would show that.

But i didn’t think about it that way.

In my defense my point was more about saying “what did you expect” the car to do in a test designed to show how a system that is not designed to perform a specific function cant perform that specific function.

We know that self driving is bullshit, especially the tesla brand of it. So what is Mark’s test and video really doing?

But on reflection, i guess there are still a lot of people out there that dont know this stuff, so at the very least, a popular channel like his will go a longway to raising awareness of this sort of flaw.

Fair point. But it doesn’t address the other things i said, really.

But i suppose,based on already getting downvoted, that I’ve got a bad take, either that or people who are downvoting me dont understand i can hate tesla and elon, think their cars are shit and still see that tests like this can be nuanced. The attitude that paints with a broad brush is the type of attitude that got trump elected…

As much as i want to hate on tesla, seeing this, it hardly seems like a fair test.

From the perspective of the car, it’s almost perfectly lined up with the background. it’s a very realistic painting, and any AI that is trained on image data would obviously struggle with this. AI doesn’t have that human component that allows us to infer information based on context. We can see the boarders and know that they dont fit. They shouldn’t be there, so even if the painting is perfectly lines up and looks photo realistic, we can know something is up because its got edges and a frame holding it up.

This test, in the context of the title of this article, relies on a fairly dumb pretense that:

1. Computers think like humans
2. This is a realistic situation that a human driver would find themselves in (or that realistic paintings of very specific roads exist in nature)
3. There is no chance this could be trained out of them. (If it mattered enough to do so)

This doesnt just affect teslas. This affects any car that uses AI assistance for driving.

Having said all that… fuck elon musk and fuck his stupid cars.

Meep meep

After reading through all of these comments, i am struggling to see the part where you proved anything that you have claimed.

You keep saying it’s money moving around at the top. Please prove this.

You keep sayingit’ss not bringing people out of poverty. Please prove this.

You keep saying it’s not saving any lives. Please prove this.

If you can’t find and show any evidence to prove your claims, then you need to crawl back into whatever sweaty hole you were excreted from.

As someone who has previously fallen into the trap of pay day loans. When wonga went into administration and my debt was cancelled, i felt saved. I felt freed from the trap of constant debt. I never took another payday (or any type of) loan after this. My financial situation and mental health improved drastically.

You dont know shit mate.

And arguing that poverty isn’t relative is the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. What if you reverse the logic and say being rich isn’t relative. If i can buy a mansion in one country for the same amount, it costs me to buy a 1 bedroom mould infested flat in another country, and then clearly all wealth is relative.

You being a moron doesn’t change that.

You are all over this thread. We get it, you dont like medievil fantasy… clearly not a popular opinion.

It failed because it was boring.

It famously had people saying “once you get past the first 12 hours, it gets good” it had nothing to do with the setting. The sci-fi setting was literally what drew people to play it in the first place…

Are you serious? Do you need help understanding the definitions of ambitious, weird, and unexpected?

Do you need a run down of all generic clones of games bioware and bethesda have released in recent times?

100% agree.

I dont think there is no place for AI as an aid to help you find the solution, but i dont think it’s going to help you learn if you just ask it for the answers.

For example, yesterday, i was trying to find out why a policy map on a cisco switch wasn’t re-activating after my radius server came back up. Instead of throwing my map at the AI and asking whats wrong l, i asked it details about how a policy map is activated, and about what mechanism the switch uses to determine the status of the radius server and how a policy map can leverage that to kick into gear again.

Ultimately, AI didn’t have the answer, but it put me on the right track, and i believe i solved the issue. It seems that the switch didnt count me adding the radius server to the running config as a server coming back alive but if i put in a fake server and instead altered the IP to a real server then the switch saw this as the server coming back alive and authentication started again.

In fact, some of the info it gave me along the way was wrong. Like when it tried to give me cli commands that i already knew wouldn’t work because i was using the newer C3PL AAA commands, but it was mixing them up with the legacy commands and combining them together. Even after i told it that was a made-up command and why it wouldn’t work, it still tried to give me the command again later.

So, i dont think it’s a good tool for producing actual work, but it can be a good tool to help us learn things if it is used that way. To ask “why” and “how” instead of “what.”

I wish i could add childishness to my pihole blacklist.

Seriously, think about what you are angry about here. Is this what matters to you?

Sorry, that isn’t what I was trying to say. It’s not about “letting the bully do it” (which isn’t what i said at all, so i dont know why you put it in quotation marks)

It’s just a name. It’s nothing. Better to fight him on denying trans people, or taking away rights from women, or reversing climate change deals, or letting a lizard faced man child dismantle the federal governement, or promoting racism, and nazi-ism.

The name of a fucking body of water means absolutely nothing compared to some of the shit he is pulling.

I dont think being concerned with the name of the gulf matters at all compared to this.

Did you see recently the thing about plastic straws? That he wants to bring back plastic straws? This is the kind of thing he wants to change! Trump is a complete moron and he is causing a crazy amount of damage to the US and the rest of the world. But you want to fight him over changing the name of some water?

No! i will not accept my downvotes, i stand by what i said. Its not important, you are directing your anger at the wrong target.

President of mexico is just showing themselves to be as big of a baby as trump. Best thing to do is ignore it. Its of such little importance.

Pornhub?

You’re not wrong. There’s a good amount of great games on that list.

The problem is that these are straight ports, bugs, and all.

The worst part is the janky controls.

On goldeneye, perfect dark and jetforce gemini you have to remap the controls on the switch settings and select a different control configuration in game to make them playable and even then the sticks are way too sensitive with no calibration options.

They release goldeneye on xbox 360 and fixed alot if not all of these issues and upscaled and widescreened everything, and it was a much better experience.

Some games play well, mario and banjoe kazooie are good. Not had any problems with waverace.

Lylat wars is a bit messy.

Pokemon stadium is fine, but less fun without the game boy attachment to transfer pokemon to use in battle.

Paper mario is great.

But this is just the 64. Then theres the snes, nes gameboy, advance and genesis. Each with a plethora of games I’ve never heard of, despite these being the consoles i had as a child.

I just think this wasn’t what they sold to us when it was announced, and it shouldn’t take 3 months to release a new title that no one has ever heard of.

I stand corrected.

No! Its a joke. N64 has been on switch for 4 years. In that time they have released about 10 games anyone would actually play. The rest are pretty much trash. Tell me you have even opened “operation winback”

If they spent as much time porting games to NSO as they do to crushing emulators then i would feel like the money im spending for NSO was more worth it.

Where is duke nukem 64? Where is conkers bad fur day? Where is rampage world tour, clay fighter 63 1/3, diddy kong racing, star wars shadows of the empire or rogue squadron, donkey kong 64, mystical ninja, doom 64?

There was a huge pool to pull from. It just seems a bit lacking for 4 years when i can get an emulator and a rom pack and play with custom mapped controls at higher fps on any device i own.

They could make that happen. And i would pay for it.
