  • Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans

    "It turns out Waymo has about one remote assistance operator for every 40 vehicles."

    "Making the numbers look even worse for Tesla, “virtually every single one of these miles was driven with a trained safety monitor in the vehicle who could intervene at any moment, which means they likely prevented more crashes that Tesla’s system wouldn’t have avoided.”"

  • I can't imagine saying anything so wildly ignorant in my professional career. He should be fired for publicly saying something that makes Microsoft sound like they have no idea what is going on in the real world.

  • Waymo has a capability for remote control of their cars in niche situations. They don't do it all the time like Tesla has been doing. It is for when they get boxed in to a street by moving trucks and the only way to move past is to break a driving rule like passing in a no passing zone. They have one remote driver for every 40 cars. Tesla has one remote driver for every one car.

  • That is certainly true, but they are also better than humans in those specific areas. Tesla is (shockingly) stupid about where they choose to operate. Waymo understands their limitations and choose to only operate where they can be better than humans. They are increasing their range, though, including driving on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles... which is usually less than 35mph!!

  • No, they don't.

  • It's important to draw the line between what Tesla is trying to do and what Waymo is actually doing. Tesla has a 4x higher rate, but Waymo has a lower rate.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

  • I just don't use it anymore. Saves me money on beer. I opened it up last week for the first time in 2 months to see if Pliny the Younger was on tap at a local bar.

  • How many people have you gone out and killed? It sure sounds like you are imploring people to take to the streets and violently attack the government. What have you done in support of this goal?

    Jump

  • I only have an Instagram account to follow when special beers are released by a local brewery. That's their only method of communication, which is annoying.

    I have found myself on IG watching skateboarding or cliff diving videos for 15 or 20 minutes before catching myself. It's crazy how addicting it can be. I'm not doom scrolling or even researching a hobby I often do. I just find those videos fascinating, and it keeps feeding that to me. I just don't open IG anymore.

  • TIL there are four major blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Mosquitoes love to drink O blood, they think it's delicious.

    Jump

  • Studies have consistently shown for the past couple decades that mosquitos are attracted to O blood. There are other factors, too. They like people who eat a lot of bananas, so maybe they like potassium? Carbon dioxide is also a target.

  • TIL that in 1952 Adidas bought the rights to the "three stripes" from a Finnish sportswear manufacturer called Karhu for two bottles of whiskey and the equivalent of €1,600.

  • They were both Nazis. The Puma brother split off because he suspected Adi of getting him conscripted into the army, which led to him being imprisoned by the Allies.

  • Yes, but did the three stripes make themselves iconic, or did the innovative business strategies of the brothers make the brand iconic? Would any logo have become iconic just for being associated with the company whose shoes were worn by Jesse Owens?

    EDIT: I had my timeline a bit off. Jesse Owens wore Geda shoes, which was the joint shoe company between the two brothers. After they broke up, Adidas became Adolf's shoe brand and Puma becoming Rudolf's.

  • Tesla: 2024 was bad, 2025 was worse as profit falls 46 percent

  • Can you imagine the sales bump from the positive PR if they had given 500 random strangers a million dollars instead of giving it to Elon? Absolute worst case they would have sold roughly 499 more cars.

  • California governor Gavin Newsom accuses TikTok of suppressing content critical of the current US president Donald Trump

  • This wasn't on my phone. I don't have TikTok installed on either my personal or work cell phone. It was on my wife's phone, which always has auto-updates turned off. She hates updates and never lets them happen. She woke up one morning and TikTok was updated with no way to turn that off. Two of her friends also complained that their apps auto-updated overnight.

  • Apple forced an update on iphones that auto-updated TikTok, which now has mandatory reporting of your geolocation (including SIM card and GPS info). This geolocation sharing can't be turned off in Settings like all other apps. It is greyed out for TikTok.

    You think this is all coincidental?
