The FSD miles have the bias of being corrected by humans. Are miles a good measure? Seems like decision for decision metrics would be more interesting.
I have a model Y. I like it. It currently doesn’t handle gravel roads or various road conditions well. I wish we had a way to put the car into ‘training’ mode to show it behavior the driver wants instead of learned behavior. For example, on gravel, I prefer to stay centered in the road versus to the side as loose gravel can suck the car over into the ditch.
When approaching large farm machinery with large equipment attached, it doesn’t always understand conventional behavior.
When going over train tracks, it doesn’t understand that could be a giant jump, and has sent me airborne a couple times. (Can’t say I minded) Probably want to evaluate it.
I’m one of the few farmers with a Tesla. We have .03 / kw energy. With diesel at $6.50, we could use a lot more Teslas.
I pay $830.22 / month for ‘health insurance’. The insurance covers doctor visits with a co-pay of $35. I’ve went twice. Had I paid cash, it would have been around $150.
The insurance won’t cover labs or prescriptions unless I’ve met the $8,000 deductible. I’ve had 2 lab bills, both billed at about $2,172. I paid them out of pocket. When I asked them about different options, they said I wasn’t eligible because I have insurance.
I just called one of my doctors and asked them to put it in as if I didnt have insurance. Same tests, new price, $150.75.
So for the year, I pay $9968.64 in insurance, $4,344.00 in labs and other scripts… let’s call it $15k.
Cash price, labs $301.72, doc visits $300, and Amazon pharmacy is under $100 for the year. Total, $701.72.
So…. I pay 21X for the insurance / traditional model.
@karpathy All of AT&T services are outsourced to India. And your spam calls come from ??? They have no motivation to make it hard for their cousins to offer you viagra at a ‘really good price’
Why do we care about new markets when the ones we have are being destroyed by foreign inports?
You’re spending all of your time in the Midwest talking to beef, corn, and soybean farmers. I don’t see any focus specialty crops. Starting to think Brook Rollins cares more about getting her picture taken than actually digging in to see the rest of the farms and what’s hitting us.
Who’s getting more frustrated with https://t.co/B7OFGsfEYA? I booked a night oat the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee last night for 2 rooms with 2 people each. They offered breakfast for $28 which sounded expensive but it’s a nice hotel and we had limited time. When I went to breakfast this morning I went to restaurant and they said they didn’t see me in their system. I went to the front desk and was told my reservation includes a ‘coffee’ and they gave me a single coupon for a Starbucks coffee. I had to text their Indian customer service and after 5 mins with a support agent that was kept asking me to send proof and documentation I gave up. #hyatt #hotels.com #expedia
@conquistadorof1@WallStreetApes We don’t always use pesticides. There are IPM strategies that don’t use pesticides but may use things like lady bugs to control other insects. We have many tools at our disposal to grow but it depends on the intended market
@mihai_truta3@WallStreetApes Actually the tolerances for fruit fly in commercial cherries are much closer to .00000001%. You are quite safe to eat cherries from a commercial grower.
@fromCommifornia@WallStreetApes Not true. The Japanese currency is 1/2 of the dollar, making the cost prohibitive in Japan. Most domestic cherries are sold in the US and Canada. There was a significant amount going to China but tariffs slowed that down this year.
Actually some of the big retailers in the season stopped buying early for a couple days in the season to back up the supply chain. It forced many farms and pack houses to sell less than cost, the retailers sold at max margins and bought for below cost. I know of several farmers that will go broke this year because of what they did.
@RobertHunterFL@WallStreetApes We don’t use the tarps but I know farmers who do. We live in a desert so it’s far less of an issue. If we have a heavy rain we actually fly a helicopter over them to dry them out.
