Cool, I almost added before that this issue of the brain is probably more likely in folks (like me) already neuro-divergent (ASD Level 1). That seems to be the consensus that I've encountered... lucky us.
While conceptually you are correct that different data could be used to train different networks in the different modes, doing this with just two toggle settings means you have to train and test 4 separate networks. Then multiply by the regions that need their own networks and this quickly becomes an unscalable problem.
I don’t think they would necessarily do this either. Maybe for regions but not for every toggle. There should be other ways to control it. Something like how you would prompt a LLM: « please keep the Gs down and try very hard not to change lanes, ok? ». There’d still be an increased test burden but maybe not so much with the training. So much I would like to know about this architecture…
Did you catch my post from a few days ago? Hard braked from 45 to about 3 on the deserted road heading to my house. No other cars.
Many many many times people have expressed concern about this. I have not read of even one rear end incident.
Not true, though I understand your point. You are not training/testing 4 (or N) distinct networks. You are training ONE network to respond correctly to numerous inputs, the "mode" being just one of very many more.. The "mode" is no more special than (say) the distance from a car in front of you .. they are just training data inputs. It's important to understand that from a training standpoint there is no difference between a mode input and a sensor input .. its all just data that is fed to the NN and trained to generate the correct output .. the network doesnt "know" the mode bits are special. Two mode "bits" doesnt increase the network complexity by 4x because NNs dont scale by 2^N (where N is number of inputs) .. otherwise we'd never get any useful work out of them at all.
Um. No. At least, I haven’t heard that one.
.Hi, Drtimhill --
In one respect I agree it's possible for some of us who are motion-sick-prone to train ourselves out of it to some degree. I did it while riding buses as a member of the L.A. City Youth Band. We were bussed to parades all over SoCal, and I really wanted to be able to read a book in the bus. I learned how to do it, but it was with my brain, not just by "getting used to it". I had to keep part of my awareness on the motion of the bus at all times. Fortunately it's not hard to read and maintain awareness of a vehicle's motion. As soon as there was any kind of bump, I just immediately looked out the window at something distant until the oscillations dampened enough, then went back to my book.Um. No. At least, I haven’t heard that one.
Been at sea. Got seasick once, early on, then got over it; not unusual, this happens to a lot of people.
The issue, as I understand it: one is in a ship/vehicle, ship is moving up and down, pitching fore and aft, rolling side to side, and it’s all very irregular. Also, put oneself far to port or aft and thus add in the sensation of going up and down in a speeding elevator as well.
Finally, put oneself in some interior compartment or corridor, with one moving or not, but no view of the outside. One’s eyes says that the walls, ceiling, and floor are absolutely rigid with 90-degree angles everywhere and nothing is moving, absolutely contradicting one’s inner ears and kinesthesia that say one is being tossed around like a pea in a random pod. A lot of people get nauseous in this situation where the eyeballs and everything else disagree.
Eventually, most get over it. It’s an odd sensation: in one’s mind’s eyes one sees the walls tilting and pitching back and side to side; and one is able to stand, walk, run, and even sit at a table without falling out of one’s chair. Some people, actually, never do figure out the mental trick. They’re the ones for whom sea travel isn’t recommended. I understand that drugs like Dramamine help; I suspect that class of drugs are psychoactive.
If on a ship, going to a weather deck where one can see the horizon helps. But I’ve seen newbies to the whole situation where, horizon or no, being tossed around like a chip for the first time when one is used to one’s whole world being stable results in tossed cookies. It’s kind of a learned trick.
Once one has learned the trick, one can still get nauseous under the right circumstances. But, no kidding, one’s sense of balance tends to really improve. My son tells us that, when he was little, he really liked having me around on a subway car ride when we had to stand. He found it safer and more secure to hang onto me rather than any old metal pole-I was more stable than them
After the last update, I notice my car is riding far to the right side of the lane all the time. Very annoying. Also, if I set the speed +5 mph, many times the car will not respond unless I physically press the accelerator. Don't believe there is anything to do but wait for the next update.
Mine also biases too far to the right. I especially don't like it during right turns but also when there’s parked cars. Zero chance if someone opens their door or pops out.
