@wholemars The funny thing about is - the cheaper your car the more annoying this sound is. I drive a different rental every two weeks - cheap Peugeot 2008 has massively annoying beep, while MB A class you barely even notice it 🤣
you are either stupid or trolling. there are many roads in europe where speed limit doesn't fit the road conditions. yes usually the limit is lower than what condition allows, but even in my area there are few where its higher. so, instead of adjusting the limit (hard) they force regulations (easy)
My Tesla was pulling into a parking lot when a gardening truck full of tools started backing up.
I thought “Shit, what if he can’t see me because his rear view is blocked? I better reverse”
But before I could even reach over to shift gears, my Tesla reversed itself to get out of the way, and then just pulled into the parking spot.
Really cool when your car’s AI is able to complete your thoughts faster than you can lift a finger.
@karpathy@jpsilvashy Just hope the suits that for sure now are taking foothold in Tesla won't be able to veto it past Elon, since they wanna sell more HW4, HW5 and so on, so having HW3 not do FSD does benefit Tesla financially in the short run
“2,200 American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor — we go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night. 2,800 Americans in 9/11 — we go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren’t accused of genocide.
If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country and they incurred into Texas, and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 people, a population of the University of Texas, and on the way back, took the freshmen class at SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels, what would we do? It’d be the great Sonora radioactive parking lot.
But Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war. And they are prosecuting a war more humanely than we have done.
The ratio of combatants to civilians — of civilian death to combatant mortality — is lower than it was in Mosul, lower than it was in Japan, lower than it was in Germany.
So there’s just a different standard for Jews and Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war. They’re allowed to fight back to a truce.
But unlike America or any other Western nation that is attacked as viciously, they're not allowed to win a war. It's a double standard.”

The Quran is nothing more than the work of a 7th-century Bedouin, a man whose idea of paradise was shaped by the material desires of a desert warrior, not by divine wisdom.
If the Quran were truly from God, it would reflect eternal, spiritual truths, not a Bedouin’s fantasy of luxury filled with couches, tents, and drinkware.
Look at the absurdly primitive rewards it promises in paradise:
•Cups to drink from – “Therein will be raised couches, and cups set at hand.” (Quran 88:13-14)
•Carpets and tents – “Chaste maidens restrained in pavilions.” (Quran 55:72)
•Beds and couches – “Reclining upon couches lined with brocade.” (Quran 55:54)
•Leaning on cushions – “Reclining therein upon adorned couches.” (Quran 36:56)
This is not a vision of heaven, it’s the dream of a man who spent his life sleeping in a tent on the desert floor, bribing his followers with fantasies of silk cushions, goblets of wine, and women hidden away in luxurious tents.
Muhammad’s idea of paradise is nothing but an upgraded desert campsite.
Muhammad was motivating his jihadists, promising them the very things they lacked in the harsh deserts of Arabia.
He wasn’t offering a path to enlightenment; he was selling paradise like a merchant pushing luxury goods in a marketplace.
And of course, he didn’t stop at furniture and drink, he added virgins, rivers of wine, and young boys to serve them (Quran 78:33, Quran 76:19).
What kind of God promises sex slaves and alcohol as a divine reward? The answer is simple: a false god, invented by a man who knew how to manipulate warriors into dying for him.
Islam’s paradise exposes the Quran for what it truly is, not divine revelation, but the materialistic fantasy of a 7th-century Bedouin warlord who bribed men with couches and cups of wine to send them to die in battle.
