People in this thread don’t understand what machine learning is, and they think Tesla’s FSD is chat gpt.

I’m an early Tesla enthusiast and I’ve purchased FSD when it was cheap, I still don’t have what I purchased, they no longer claim the things they used to claim it will do on the website, Elon is a Nazi con man who took a great product and hired brilliant engineers to build amazing tech only to taint it by manipulating an election to install a dictator and Seig Heiled in celebration.

But Elon is just the rich asshole that runs the company, the brilliant engineers made amazing software that is still amazing despite not fulfilling Elon’s fraudulent sales pitches.

This is not an endorsement of Tesla, I hope it crashes and burns as long as he benefits from it, I wish we can nationalize it and all its very valuable assets. But my “supervised” FSD handles all my driving and I haven’t had a single disengagement in many months. It takes me from my driveway to any address with ease, and my passengers don’t even realize I’m not driving.

Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it’s not a real product because the CEO turned out to be a Nazi isn’t intellectually honest or useful. Normalize the idea of nationalizing Tesla, it was heavily funded by our tax dollars after all.

FSD is improving at an incredible pace, and it would be very beneficial to society to nationalize and open source it, otherwise Elon the Nazi capitalist gets to benefit from it alone. China has incredible capacity to collect the training data in a short time that Tesla spent a decade collecting, and I have no doubt they’ll have an FSD comparable product soon, I do doubt they’ll open source it.

inb4 someone calls me a Republican or a Russian because I said FSD is real. Find someone who has it and ask them for a demo, and judge for yourself.

lol. You’re not wrong that it’ll be way easier to rely on AI to do the sorting for you, but you’re implying Google didn’t sanitize information and only give you results they approve of…

There’s way more to the internet than you can find on search engines.

You know we use the internet to transfer way more than most websites right?

The fact that it was Mitt Romney’s idea should speak volumes about the propaganda from the Democrats. It has its pros, but like everything else the Democrats support, it must first and foremost benefit corporations.

but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Yes, and I still have access to my same doctor! But I don’t even go to the doctor when I need to anymore because my family insurance went from a $500 deductable to a $10,000 deductable. I have insurance, but I legitimately lost access to healthcaret, I can’t afford it. I went to the hospital two years in a row and had to pay it off in installments for the next two years.

My mom’s medicare got amazing, and I couldn’t complain about that. But holy shit my medical expenses went up. And I’m pretty well off, I just can’t afford a $18,400 pay cut and save any money in this economy.

You’re right that a lot has changed for the better, especially when it comes to legal rights for LGBTQ+ people. The AIDS crisis was devastating and compounded by the cruelty of being denied the most basic recognitions like visiting your partner in the hospital or even being allowed to stay in your home after they passed. Legal victories like Lawrence v. Texas, Obergefell, and Bostock were historic, and they represent real, hard-won progress.

But I think it’s also important to recognize that legal inclusion doesn’t always mean liberation. A lot of those rights are still tied to institutions like marriage, which leave out anyone who doesn’t fit that mold. Marriage shouldn’t be the gateway to healthcare or housing security. That just reinforces the idea that some relationships or lives are more worthy of protection than others.

Same goes for healthcare. The Affordable Care Act helped, but it still left healthcare tied to jobs and profit. Life-saving medications exist, but they’re still out of reach for many because of how expensive and inaccessible our system is. PrEP, for example, is amazing in what it can do, but the fact that it’s rationed through patents and insurance barriers says a lot about who this system really serves.

And while the internet has opened up huge spaces for connection and organizing, it also turned our identities into data and our attention into profit. Social media connects, but it also surveils and exploits. So even in our victories, the system keeps finding ways to profit off our survival.

I think the pessimism today is more than just a vibe shift. People feel it because they know deep down that we’re still not free. That our progress is fragile, often built on the same systems that oppress others. The question isn’t just whether things are better. It’s whether we’re building something that won’t keep leaving people behind.

Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it’s creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it’s not because it’s doing anything advanced, it’s just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.

The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn’t support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.

Domains need to be registered annually and DNS servers are needed to route traffic to them. But using an IP directly, you don’t need to worry about domain registration issues that can brick your systems, and you don’t have to worry about DNS providers knowing about your traffic (or maintaining your own private dns).

If it’s not a user trying in a memorable domain, an IP serves much better.
