I used to think Caitlin Clark was just another “great white hype” in sports until I actually started paying attention to the games for a brief moment.
For as many women that play basketball in hs I don’t understand how their pro league is so bad other than watching how Caitlin gets treated by players on other teams. They act like middle school bullies on live tv.
Wbb culture is obviously toxic and holding back good talent.

@YinzGotOwned @TeslaTim2 I mean i have a 29k 2023 rwd lfp but it's not like 23 is massive depreciation considering i paid 32 for it. (and i have 25k less miles so depreciation on mine really isn't bad at all)

Yeah, RL would do a lot better if they treated people like Leth who smurf in lower ranks *for content* like they treat people who take bots into SSL lobbies.

It's exactly the same thing. If i go into a plat lobby, I genuinely consider that cheating my ass off and also boring.

It's just as much cheating as botting is...

And all the high and mighty players in RL got away with defrauding psyonix with the alpha boost cloning ... and no they weren't just giving it to all their friends, they were charging regular people thousands of dollars to do the same scam they all used to get it.

Psyonix listens to 0.001% of the player base and wonders why they can't hold long term adoption of the game by new players no matter how many they manage to get in through gimicks... The game isn't fun for people trying to "get better but also have fun"
It's fulll of people playing 200-500+mmr below their actual rank.
It's obnoxious at best, but it's self defeating for the game and they just don't care so long as their influencers are happy.

@GrindeOptions Assuming they'll be able to maintain the chokehold on ADAS systems when a stock KIA comes with more ADAS features from the factory without a paywall than a tesla.

Not saying anything compares to FSD, but people are tired of renting everything they "own"

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

This got long-winded... Sorry. Background on me.. remote sensing stuff in grad school few years ago blah blah.. Once things started to pivot harder toward "machine learning" ... It wasn't long before I was seeing a ton of papers on using "vision" cameras to do all kinds of stuff we used to need radar/lidar/other sensors/sensor suites could suddenly be sub'd out for a regular old camera for a lot of reseerch. I'm generalizing a lot here, but it made me beleive that tesla's camera-only FSD *could* work even before tesla got rid of USS... So yes, I do kind of cheer on the "wins" for FSD a little. I think it can be done -- and I think we just got to the point where the compute power is actually available and viable... and IMO they have a shot with the 2-door cybercabs.. We will see i suppose.

Anyways, From what I've seen, the 2-door is using "AI5" (hw4 cars are actually getting a distilled AI5 model) with dual gps receivers, starlink (don't know the reasoning or if they use them to help augment positioning data along with the 5g modem)

The AI5 computer, from what I've read, is like pretty much on par with compute power to an RTX 5090 (but with more VRAM).
HW4 is like an RTX 2080 (with a moderate amount of vram)
When you try to line it up with nvidia cards from over the years, HW3 is actually remarkable but will obviously never achieve what was promised. HW3 is a slight miracle to work as well as it does IMO given the hardware limitations

AI5 has better cameras and refined placements as well. It was already approved level 4 with the cybercab to deploy without steering wheels AFAIK.

We'll see. I have been skeptical of FSD because of the needed compute power and fidelity/resolution/framerate/and visible SPECTRUM of the cameras.

I genuinely think they are pretty much there with AI5 and these cybercab cars. They have obviosuly been hiding some of the other tech being used to augment the cars... so all of the stuff i metnioned above + the stuff we do not know about would be 100% necessary as a retrofit for current hw4 cars to even dream of getting near L4.

My faith in AI5 solely comes from my own ego predicting a few years ago that this would be about the needed amount of compute power (TOPS) and memory/mem bandwidth / enhanced systems that tesla would *NEED* to make FSD work... and a few years ago something like an rtx 5090 seemed far away (I was using a 3090 back then!)

One other thing -- think about how much a $2000 MSRP 5090 still sells for at any store today. $4500 and still going up. We're paying SO MUCH money for that fsd computer. Imagine how cheap they could make a "slate" type car. (and keep things like heat pump)

@Baldnewsnetwork Imagine GTA6 hitting PC before PS5 lol.

@BrandonHaney52 @BLKMDL3 I've sen this go out to randoms on FB groups so ... toss a coin. I've been toward the front of the pack for installs on a lot of stuff lately, hopefully i'll have this one for my sunday drive!

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

@JonBbC_TechGeek It's both.

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

@DennisCW_ Everyone is having all of these issues, phantom braking seemed better at first but it's actually worse, now there's "phantom almost braking" to go along with "whiplash phantom braking"

It's an instant non-starter for a lot of ppl and a safety issue.

So on #Tesla #FSD #V14lite, if your car is not recognizing your driveway OR is going into the WRONG driveway -- You can zoom in on the map and change the pin location to exactly where your driveway actually is. Works great!

Now i just wish this wildfire smoke would go away so my windows aren't perpetually dirty. -_-

@elonmusk @AdamLowisz Weren't you ranting about "freedom" during the election?

Your brand of "freedom" kinda sucks wiht posts like this.

Ukraine will not lose if they continue to innovate on technology.

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

@SantoroSystems @teslasi Content cucks have to get their time to make money and post rave reviews before they actually roll it out in America.

Sadly.

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

@fau1in @daltonbrewer Hw 4 isn’t good enough. Look at the latest stories on. All the equipment in the driverless cybercab.

That’s the story Tesla doesn’t want to get loud right now so they’re happy to just have hw3 ppl whining.

[Christopher Hazard @hazardc]

@8VITCA @MissJilianne Just wait until you find out HW4 isn't going to cut it, and you're going to need a retrofit as well.
