I wish that were true. My M Y last update was in September 25th. Before the FSD beta button, I averaged 10 days between updates. FSD-beta seems to be the main focus. TeslaFi is showing slow rollout to non beta testers as well.
My first intro to computers was in Engineering 1 in college and Basic was required followed by Fortran. Never really used it, however, except on school projects. Later I bought a TRS 80 Model 1 complete with 4 floppy drives. That was heaven compared to the cassette recorder for programs. When I upgraded to a Model 4 with a graphics card, I wrote my first real science program that drew a 3D map of a underwater cave and presented the project at a NSS CDS convention. My big software was a full chemical company operating system to include order entry, raw material ordering, batch formulation, shipping invoicing and inventory control. The code was close to 10,000 lines and took me nearly a year to do it all. It was a side project I did to make my job running the plant easier. I wrote that in SQL I did hire a young lady who was studying computer programming in college to help me with some of the more difficult parts of the coding as I was not formally trained in SQL.Man, I thought I was old.
I started out with Basic on a TRS80 back in the early '80's.
Ended up really getting into Mac's in the mid '80's, so I had to learn Pascal, as all of the OS documentation was in Pascal for the Mac back then. Transitioned to C and C++ in the '90's, but only as a hobby. Started out with Dave Mark's "Learn C on the Macintosh" then on to his other book "Learn C++ on the Macintosh", and of course, backed this up with Kernigan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language," as well as other really nerdy reference books.
My MY is at 99 and still hasn't gotten the first invite to beta. I got it on the M S when they announced 99. Not everyone got it and I see many with 100 score still haven't been invited. The roll out is a mystery.
I flew a Lance for a guy in Salt Lake a few times, then flew the Lance's brother the Piper Saratoga for an air ambulance outfit out of south eastern Utah (the appropriately named "Blanding, Utah").
Appreciate that. At this point, I'm nearly convinced that they are using some sort of tail light recognition for some things, but would need to have it backed up by other guys to be sure.
I think Elon has put me on "ignore" on Twitter by now!
Not that old - but I've done my share of Fortran, Pascal, Basic, LISP & even assembly.
You guys are slacking off. (-: nobody's mentioned programming in current languages like python or Matlab. I'll even give brownie points for VBA or Mathematica.Not that old - but I've done my share of Fortran, Pascal, Basic, LISP & even assembly.
Flying .... not with my acrophobia
LOL. No longer a “programmer” - but I do use Python and R when I need to. But now, the only language I really know is SQL.
Next weekend.

But it turns out I was much better at flying airplanes than I was at writing computer programs; coding has always been just a hobby for me.
AI/NN stuff is fascinating, but I just don't have a big enough brain pan to ever be able to get into it in any meaningful way.
Back on topic...
After noticing some pretty good progress in 10.4 with smoothness of deceleration and a few other things, I'm also now experiencing the other problems guys have been reporting in 10.4, especially its propensity to run red lights, attempts to go around traffic stopped at stop signs or traffic signals, phantom FCW's, etc.
I've read a few posts about guys wondering if FSD takes the preceding car's tail lights into its decision making process. Next time you take FSD for a test spin, try this... every time the car in front of you shows brake lights, take note of if your car immediately applies some amount of deceleration, even if the preceding car shows no real deceleration.
Where I'm at (we have a lot of "snow birds") this condition happens a lot... the preceding car will show brake lights, with no to only very slight deceleration. Yet every time, my car will immediately start to slow as soon as the brake lights on the preceding car appear. The preceding car needs to be "fairly close" (which is admittedly subjective) for this to happen... if the preceding car is 1/2 mile ahead, it won't do it.
Maybe it's only a coincidence, which is why I'd like to hear other people's experiences with this.

I think you need to be fully prepared to be "really disappointed". We are over a year in the Beta and on version 10.4. Logic, history and practicality dictate that any 0.1 changes in a software version will be mostly nuance.
My posts here should tell you I am. But there are moments when I am surprised like after 10.4 when I saw they added speed bump detection. Makes being on the team worth it.
By now they will know exactly what happened. They will probably make a change by completely disengaging and disabling lane departure correction in case of the driver correcting FSD wheel action.
