I think it was a genuine attempt but they failed to find a simple enough solution.

peterisza··on zclaw: personal AI assistant in under 888 KB, running on an ESP32
right, 888 kB would be impossible for local inference

however, it is really not that impressive for just a client

Yes we should put a Skynet into space so we can't even pull the plug when there's a problem. What could go wrong, right? :D
peterisza··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
so you own the stock then. right?
peterisza··on Can you slim macOS down?
Isn't the battery life shit? Maybe I'll try it
peterisza··on Can you slim macOS down?
It's such a shame that we have come to this. MacOS is basically Windows now. :(

peterisza··on Don't animate height
So good to see a developer who actually cares about resources. Thank you!

I usually develop my apps on a 1300 MHz single-core Intel Atom mini PC from 10 years ago. When something like this goes wrong, the app becomes unusable and I immediately notice it.

peterisza··on New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes
A bit unrelated but I found this interesting: water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light".

peterisza··on Tesla FSD passes water hose test
I see. Thanks for the comment.
peterisza··on Tesla FSD passes water hose test
This video is a reconstruction of Mark Rober's failed test that had a similar setup. However, Mark Rober only tested Autopilot which is just a lane keep assist from 7 years ago, and is a different software from FSD.

According to Tesla, FSD is the real deal, FSD is supposed to become unsupervised. Many Tesla owners were curious whether FSD would stop under the same simulated conditions, and this is why the setup is like this with the hose and everything.

peterisza··on Tesla's HW4 self-driving passes the Wile E. Coyote test
The same youtuber has done more comprehensive testing. HW3 with FSD v12 consistently failed while HW4 with v13 consistently passed the same test.

I didn't like Mark Rober's video because he only tested Autopilot which is a different software.

Autopilot = simple lane keep assistant from 7 years ago

FSD = the real deal, this can do all the maneuvers, this is what is supposed to become unsupervised according to Tesla

I am interested in the future of Tesla's technology, so testing Autopilot feels irrelevant to me.

Thanks, I changed the title
peterisza··on Tesla created secret team to suppress driving range complaints (2023)
My understanding is that it is for the cabin.

BTW, for the cabin I did two things:

- I installed a permanent shade for the sun roof. The sun roof is the stupidest thing ever, I hate it.

- In the summer, I usually put one of those shiny umbrellas to the front windshield when parked.

These two things alone reduce the cabin heat to an okay level.

Tip: if you turn off both the overheat protection and sentry mode, the phantom drain becomes 0%. I know this because I left my car idle for 2 months and it only lost 1% during that time.

It is fine to turn these off, other cars don't even have these and they are fine.

Sorry, but this is hard to believe unless your specific Model 3 has a problem.

I have a Model Y, several friends have Teslas, one uses his Model 3 for Uber. Everyone can get the expected range when doing 90 km/h in the summer, and at least half of the range on the highway in the winter, but usually more than that.

Maybe your consumption is that much when going steeply uphill, but then you will have to come back down and your consumption will be negative as it will recharge your battery.

That’s nearly double the amount of battery energy storage Tesla deployed in all of Q4 2024.
peterisza··on Tesla recalls 1.8M cars because their hoods can open while driving
Wait, what do you mean? Are you aware it is not a real recall and almost all previous Tesla recalls weren't real recalls either?
peterisza··on Tesla investors back $56B Musk pay deal
Yeah, sorry, I shouldn't have written "everybody". I wasn't one of them! However, this was the common sentiment in 2018 as I remember it.

Just like nowadays the general opinion is that Tesla FSD is at least 5 years away or will never work.

peterisza··on Tesla investors back $56B Musk pay deal
He was paid in stock options. He is not allowed sell the stock for 5 years after exercising. He hasn't exercised any of them so far.

Here's the 2018 compensation plan: https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/edfcfa2e-bcb6...

It basically says that Elon doesn't get anything unless the stockholders at least 2x their investment, and Elon gets approximately 10% of the company if stockholders 10x their investment. Each tranch had revenue and EBITDA requirements as well, so it was not possible for Elon to just pump the stock. He achieved all the milestones: the company grew significantly, the stockholders 10x-ed their investment.

The judge thought that the stockholders were not properly informed about the board in 2018. Now in 2024, not only have they been informed but they reelected Kimbal Musk as well.

BTW this deal was the most stockholder-friendly deal ever, because Elon only got his compensation if the stockholders got rich. I think it was a good thing, the first of its kind. If they made a new package like this (+10% for another 10x from here), I would vote for it.

Also worth mentioning that his compensation package was worth 2.3B in 2018 when the shares were separated.

Also worth mentioning that everybody found the milestones ridiculous and unachievable in 2018.

peterisza··on Windows Recall sounds like a privacy nightmare
It's more of a performance nightmare IMO. Everything will become even slower, even more laggy, the battery will drain faster, the laptop will get hotter.
