Plane autopilot also relies on proper avionics to know where the plane is relative to the earth since it cannot pass through matter without engulfing everyone in flames but musky decided to tackle that same problem on the ground much closer to solid objects that will kill the occupants with a couple webcam sensors and a gpu

the menu system for the dvd is awesome, looks like the cockpit of the rocket truck and has random overthruster beeps

some trivia about the end credits song: when they filmed that part the song wasn't ready, so instead they played "uptown girls" to give the actors a beat to walk to. same tempo!

i will actually defend zuck on this one

much of the rural land in hawaii has uncertain /contested title because traditional law from before the occupation still applies, and inheritance rules were pretty complicated back in the day

zuck bought a large parcel of land and then went to court to settle the title -- i.e. loudly announce that he has good reason to believe he has a claim to the land, and all other claimants to any part of the larger parcel should come forward

some claimants came forward and they were compensated, and the title was perfected. now no future buyer will have to worry about this process.

closed: WONTFIX, working as intended

you're forgetting that he did this in coordination with one of the people who owned part of the land to be bought, who was seeking to have title assigned to himself for all the parts that might have been land belonging to his family, in order that he could consolidate those claims inside and outside of where the zuck wanted to buy

this way he'd both get more money from the zuck and have clear title to all the land that might have probably belonged to his brother/cousin/aunt etc. iirc a similar local resident did the same sort of thing when that oracle guy was buying a lot of land in hawaii too

ellison�s cat island rules

quote:

Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of. You could walk around it in an hour, but still it was, it was a paradise for us. One summer, we went for a visit and discovered the place had been infested with rats. They'd come on a fishing boat and gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you get rats off an island? Hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait and the rats would come for the coconut and... they would fall into the drum. And after a month, you have trapped all the rats, but what do you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it and they begin to get hungry. And one by one... they start eating each other until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what? Do you kill them? No. You take them and release them into the trees, but now they don't eat coconut anymore. Now, they only eat rat. You have changed their nature. The two survivors.

Tesla is not great at PR:

"We are very sorry for the family's loss.

According to the family, Mr. Huang was well aware that Autopilot was not perfect and, specifically, he told them it was not reliable in that exact location, yet he nonetheless engaged Autopilot at that location. The crash happened on a clear day with several hundred feet of visibility ahead, which means that the only way for this accident to have occurred is if Mr. Huang was not paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so.

The fundamental premise of both moral and legal liability is a broken promise, and there was none here. Tesla is extremely clear that Autopilot requires the driver to be alert and have hands on the wheel. This reminder is made every single time Autopilot is engaged. If the system detects that hands are not on, it provides visual and auditory alerts. This happened several times on Mr. Huang's drive that day.

We empathize with Mr. Huang's family, who are understandably facing loss and grief, but the false impression that Autopilot is unsafe will cause harm to others on the road. NHTSA found that even the early version of Tesla Autopilot resulted in 40% fewer crashes and it has improved substantially since then. The reason that other families are not on TV is because their loved ones are still alive."

it's not unsafe... just unreliable

probably sometimes there would be other animals in there so the rats would also learn to eat all the animals on the island, probably eventually running out of food and turning on the humans

planes also come with a wide assortment of obnoxious alarm klaxons and robot voices that planes fire off if it looks like you made the autopilot do something stupid, I think someone posted the ones from the 747 in this thread earlier
