    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I had neither AP or FSD engagement. The map on the right had changed, showing much more detail/resolution than normal. In my Intel car at least, the visualization in the left panel is quite different when FSD is engaged vs. standard visualization. I thought that was a normal thing. Anyway...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Meaning visualization showing both lanes of a two lane country road with the double/dotted yellow line down the middle and the white fog lines on either side. Garbage cans and traffic cones and all the other details you don't see while using AP or manual. At least twice the level of resolution...

    High resolution was on for me when I drove in manual mode to town on Sunday last week, spontaneously. I was amazed and delighted. Went into the hardware store and on the return home it was gone. Never has returned. Disappointing! It was great. Strange, though.

    Coronavirus

    When one completes a death certificate (I've done my share) you list the primary cause, then "due tos". Comorbidities go in a separate section. So, "of."

    Coronavirus

    Yes, humans resist change, and when it was first identified, it was believed Covid would not aerosolize. Consequently, droplets and 6 feet, based on other viruses and dogma which said >5 micron (IIRC) and no aerosol. Turns out other factors in physics (mass, density) affect that threshold...

    Coronavirus

    As best I understand, these studies looked at vaccinated vs. unvaccinated who had not yet been diagnosed with Covid. Since it is known that vaccination reduces the likelihood of subsequent cases of Covid in those who have already had it, it would be expected to reduce the likelihood of Long...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    I honestly think that this is just an observation of proximity. As long as Russia (or it's successor) is next to Ukraine, it has an advantage and an interest that the US does not share. It is not to say that Russia or it's successor will necessarily continue it's adventurism should it's politics...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Yes, we are on the same page. And I agree with the concept of a two state solution. It's just that I think some of your points, ancestral rights and improvements, are distractions that could be applied to other peoples' claims, and including them weakens rather than bolsters your other points...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Of course, we agree, treaties are only as good as those agreeing to them, and history is all about breaking them. And you don't need to remind me of the recent history of Israel. I am quite aware. However, you keep going back to things like ancestral homelands (along with property...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Jews were not tribes? 12 comes to mind? Anyway, it is beside the point. I totally respect the right for Modern Israel to exist and to do so in safety. But I think rights come by treaty, not genetics or religion, and every time someone confuses that, irrational conflict occurs.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    I might be confused about what you are saying, but I am not sure mosquito abatement defines rights to a region of land. The history of the planet is replete with the horrible treatment of one tribe on another, up to and including today. White settlers attempted to wipe out native Americans...

    Well, I will be honest and let you know that I was so involved in wrenching the car into the correct lane that I didn't notice, and I let my subscription lapse because I left town for 3 weeks and wasn't driving. Nevertheless, if even sometimes, it registers the lanes, or road arrows, and...

    Nice sunny Sunday morning. The intersection was just painted after the winter sand and salt scrubbed the paint. No one else in the intersection. Couldn't be more perfect. The car drove into the middle (straight only) lane (green light) and ignored the left turn only lane (green arrow) and...

    Or, your map was updated. How do you know it wasn't? If you live in a place where the maps are constantly updated and accurate, you wouldn't know. What you are proposing, that FSD reads signs and lanes some places and not in others, makes no sense to me. How could that even be? Mind you, I...

    12.3 always tries a left turn from the center lane at a major intersection on the south end of our town. It is freshly painted and the traffic lights and turn lanes are clearly marked. The intersection was revised a year ago. Clearly it is following old, out of date, inaccurate maps and no way...

    Coronavirus

    If I understand the paper referenced by @NikolaACDC correctly, and if it proves out, it alleviates, or at least reduces, the concerns about vaccine "imprinting" which is mentioned in the article from yalemedicine that I referenced above. This would open up the possibility to more frequent...

    They do do that for people of high risk. 2 month series booster. And it does help. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/should-you-get-a-covid-19-bivalent-booster#:~:text=An%20additional%20bivalent%20booster%20offers,19%2Drelated%20hospitalization%20and%20death.

    Right. They just looked at antibody response to vaccine. The good thing is that boosters broaden rather than block antibody response to variants, and such that boosters may actually cover as yet to develop variants. Which means picking a specific variant for the next booster is less important...

    Generally agree, but I'm not sure I followed your statement here. If we hit a low this month, how can we know we're on an upturn now? It's still May. Reports aren't complete. Anyway, I totally agree that most, but not all, have had natural exposure, if not disease. I can't help but think that...

    I do wonder if I had a subclinical case or two somewhere along the line. They aren't uncommon. I have to have been exposed often enough. And as far as immunity, what doesn't kill you or give you long covid makes you stronger. I didn't intentionally leave my mask in the hotel storage while we...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    It would be interesting to know if the car requires a good data connection in order to "read" signs. Much like it needs that to exercise voice commands. Nevertheless, FSDS ignores signs in places where the cell signal is excellent, as well as marginal, for us.

    So what you imply is that only my car fails at reading signs. And does so consistently in the same places. Ok. I find that difficult to understand.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    I am merely suggesting that a correctly followed speed limit would not distinguish map reading from sign reading. It could be either. If, as I experience regularly, the sign says 65 mph, and the car goes 45mph, and the software on the screen displays 45mph, it isn't reading the signs. It might...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    If mapping is excellent, you would never be able to tell the difference between mapping and reading. It's only when it fails that one would be able to know.
  39. DrGriz

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Not where I live. I don't see any evidence at all that it's "reading" anything. If the map data is good, maybe it appears to someone it is reading signs. But if the map data is bad, like 30 out of 100 miles where I am, it blows right past perfectly legible signs.

    I have tried recalibration and rebooted for the 3 versions of FSDS I have experienced this last month. No change in the "behavior" when encountering a reduced speed zone, when the car's mapping is correct. It just coasts. No active slowing. This is the same behavior all of my friends experience...

    Same. Used it long enough to determine that it still doesn't slow down from 65 to 25 mph without disengagement. Also, it doesn't slow down for icy roads.

    100% Pulling out of a parking space front facing is safer than backing out, especially when you don't have cross traffic alert (=TESLA). That said, people will almost always pull into your spot if you are screwing around trying to back in. At least, where I am.

    Yeah, no, no offset enabled. I prefer to adjust that using the thumbwheel because I use different amounts in different contexts. The more I think of it, it's as though it doesn't apply any brakes while FSDS is enabled, neither mechanical nor regen. It just seems to coast. Next time I'll check...
