Although I tend to think people complaining about acceleration off the line are nuntso, and my wife as a passenger agrees, I do wish chill-aggressive actually did something for people who want to drive like grandma and leave aggressive for those of us that don’t want to impede traffic. That...

My 2018 M3 in SoCal recently updated to 12.3.3. Today I set my profile to no fsd and then when I wanted TACC, I found it was on fsd(s). No message other than the email. And my MX up in Oregon is still on fsd 11. Looking forward for another SpaceX launch hopefully visible from here in La Quinta...

Yesterday evening, while driving to LaQuinta from Palm Springs, I had to disengage due to …. … SpaceX! We knew the approximate time of the launch and when we looked to the west, there it was. Fortunately, I was able to pull over and got a good view. Very cool. Was able to get a long iPhone...

From https://spectrum.ieee.org/trillion-transistor-gpu Training GPT-3, for example, requires the equivalent of more than 5 billion billion operations per second of computation for an entire day (that’s 5,000 petaflops-days), and 3 trillion bytes (3 terabytes) of memory capacity. Recommend...

After the holiday update and before 12.3, my 2018 m3 did not honor continuous torque and when I got a nag, I had to torque in the reverse direction for a second or so. Try that. With 12.3, no nags with continuous torque.

I blew a tire and rim while driving manually because the deep pothole was black just like a series of filled holes. About a 1000 bucks.

And I think that really is a thing. But was for cryptocurrency if I recall correctly. Which I seldom do.

Hey guys, how about defining acronyms the first time you use them in a post. Even though I spend an hour or more reading this, er, material, I had to look up: SOTA is an acronym for State-Of-The-Art. In the context of Artificial Intelligence

Yeah, I’m not sure if Tesla has code exterior to the end-to-end net, but it seems needed for unusual situations.

It would, but only after being trained on millions of examples of good drivers in that situation. It is end-to-end, right?

Although I setup a no fsd profile, 12.3 works so well and with a good wife approval factor, I have not needed it. My recent drives have had a destination so I don’t know how well I would feel about my more typical non-destination drives. Also, I think Elon is behind the forced single pull...

Must have been painful. Apologies if I have been ninjaed, I am a few days behind.

Be sure to try reversing the torque direction. BTW, under 12.3, I have been able to avoid the nag with constant torque just like previous to the holiday update.

Yesterday, on 12.3, I turned on FSD with minimize lane changes while in the middle of 3 lanes. With no traffic around, I signaled left wanting to change lanes but the car never honored my request. I had to cancel. I also dislike the single pull and use a “no fsd” profile to easily enable cruise...
