  • The reason I mention AI is because the article talks about AI tools to predict accidents as well. I also googled Openpilot and this is from their wiki page.

    In contrast to traditional autonomous driving solutions where the perception, prediction, and planning units are separate “modules”, openpilot adopts a system-level end-to-end design to predict the car’s trajectory directly from the camera images. openpilot’s end-to-end design is a neural network that is trained by comma.ai using real-world driving data uploaded by openpilot users.[34]

    So uh. It might be AI

    Also it seems openpilot requires hardware for the cameras and stuff, they aren’t going to strap third party cameras to cars to sell new. They’d have to implement the sensors in the car itself, and doing so would cost more than nothing.



  • I’m all for better safety features but perhaps an easier, cheaper, and more likely to succeed option to use is city planning/enforcement and change of current regulations. For instance, closing the loophole that lets car manufacturers ignore safety and emissions rules for “light truck” classified cars, which at this point is most of the oversized SUVs and pickups.

    Alternatively having safer options for pedestrians and cyclists would help too, like having separated bike roads, and pushing highways and stroads out of residential areas and reclaiming city space for pedestrians. Public transit investment also helps reduce the number of drivers, which helps traffic and safety too.

    I don’t hate the idea of these extra AI tools like emergency braking being required or at least encouraged with stuff like safety ratings, but I think it’s going to be very hard to get that implemented anytime soon considering you’d be fighting consumer interest(higher cost cars) and companies who don’t want to have to make or license AI tools.

    Edit: also the current regime in the US is more interested in de-regulating things to the point where I can get a happy meal wrapped in asbestos with a nice lead toy. So uh… Good luck




  • This kind of advice isn’t about making you feel bad it’s about trying to help it not get that bad in the future. It’s easy to get dehydrated without realizing it and that can and will kill you if you aren’t careful. It isn’t a callout it’s a PSA :)

    Yeah I agree with the other comments, domes are deceptive little shits to print the underside of. The layers tend to be undersized for the previous one as you get higher, and you quickly go past a reasonable angle for printing. At that point the rings you print are likely just barely touching the previous layer, and you get those separated rings that just get worse the higher up the dome you go.


  • 6 weeks isn’t very long, and if you’re just starting your likely on a lower dose as your doc ramps you up to whatever level works.

    I’d talk to your doc or whoever prescribed you the meds about dosages and what your levels are, they usually monitor with bloodwork to try to get you in the normal ranges, and if you have concerns they will usually work with you to try to get the results you want.

    But yeah. i didn’t really notice breast development for a good few months(partially due to my weight too at the time), and they didn’t really stop growing for a few years. It was just a lot of very slow growth over time.







  • I quite like Costco. And Winco. I really gotta do some research and make sure they’re not secretly shitty, but they’ve both been pretty great for me.

    EDIT: Ok well I did some reading.

    Costco is owned by shareholders mostly. It pays better than most other grocery stores, has a small amount of unionized stores, and also negotiates a non union employee agreement thingy for other employees. Not as protective as a union tho. They also have a few lawsuits and controversies regarding egg/meat production, specifically in treatment of hens at one point. They’ve paid some fines and committed to only producing cage free or whatever eggs. Some still claim the farms are cruel, but I didn’t see any more results on lawsuits yet. They have a couple cases of “fucked up and had to recall food” as well as one case of an employee dying in SK from heat stroke. They were found at fault in that they didn’t strictly enforce the breaks and water rules that were required for summer workers.

    Overall, Costco seems better than most, but with some real flaws and things I hope they improve on.

    Winco doesn’t have a lot of info, it’s privately/employee owned, and they don’t have a controversies section on wikipedia lol. Their history mostly just talks about how they were established. Winco generally seems to pay its employees better than other big grocery stores (ballpark $16 vs $13 for walmart for example). I think the other big thing is they do an employee stock option thing so there’s that too.

    Oh. This is their vision quest optional ad thing. Not that its great but these exist on desktop already, and can be completely disabled in settings. This post just now reminded me that they made that, I turned it off and completely forgot.

    They also say that the option to disable it will exist on mobile too. Its shitty that there are ads at all but this is about the least offensive option I’ve ever seen. Can’t promise it won’t creep out and get worse later but yeah.



  • I feel bad for the minority of owners who may have bought before Musk was so obviously shitty. I didn’t really think of him as anything more than the usual tech ceo until the “calling a rescue diver a pedo” thing.

    And I mean it’s likely a very small minority, but I think a more focused protest would be artistically altering cars on sales lots, or on factory lots. Obviously a lot harder to do, so like, any tesla over no tesla? But I’d prioritize the newer models, and ones that tesla still owns or will likely have to pay to reimburse, gets you the bonus of costing them more money outside stocks/sales.
