  • Actual AI?

    Imagine your phone knows that you have a business meeting downtown today. It’s already reserved a parking space for you, set your car to warm up before you leave and looped your contact in on your ETA, along with automatically notifying you of any delays. Then, your kid wakes up this morning in with a horrible toothache, you ask your phone what to do and it rings up your family dentist, who has a full schedule today, but makes you a referral nearby. You agree to try that other dentist today, and your AI books an appointment, checks your meeting today, coordinates with their AIs and approves a 15 minute delay so you can get to the dentist. It also notifies your kid’s school of their absence and has their teachers AI automatically queued up to send transcripts, notes and homework assignmenta from today’s classes.

    That’s the kind of stuff actual AI can do. Overgrown autocorrect? It’s basically a multi-billion dollar Magic Eightball.




  • It’s hard to tell, but from about 15 minutes of searching, I was unable to locate any consumer vehicles that include a LIDAR system. Lots of cars include RADAR, for object detection, even multiple RADAR systems for parking. There may be some which includes a TimeOfFlight sensor, which is like LIDAR, but static and lacks the resolution/fidelity. My Mach-E which has level 2 automation uses a combination of computer vision, RADAR and GPS. I was unable to locate a LIDAR sensor for the vehicle.

    The LIDAR system in Mark’s video is quite clearly a pre-production device that is not affiliated with the vehicle manufacturer it was being tested on.

    Adding, after more searching, it looks like the polestar 3, some trim levels of the Audi A8 and the Volvo EX90 include a LiDAR sensor. Curious to see how the consumer grade tech works out in real world.

    Please do not mistake this comment as “AI/computer vision” evangelisim. I currently have a car that uses those technologies for automation, and I would not and do not trust my life or anyone else’s to that system.

    Clearly a false flag attack based on that spray paint alone.

    Why would you bother burning the GOP HQ because of ICE? Not that I would condone it, but I’d probably write something like, “When fascism comes to America, it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in a flag”. Plus, ICE is operating more the the SS than the KKK. SS was a legal government organization that systematically persecuted the state’s enemies using brutal tactics and complete disregard of human rights to get results. KKK is just a bunch racist beerbellied ‘good ol boys’ who are worried that black men are going woo all their eligible sisters. Anyone actually frustrated enough with the situation to set fire to a building wouldn’t spray paint such a silly miscomparison.



  • I meant that the people with guns and violent tendencies are getting pissed off. Republicans won’t show up in their own districts/townhall meetings anymore. Thomas Crooks took a shot at trump before all of the recent problems he’s caused. I can’t imagine him holding an open air rally anywhere in the US right now.

    Yes, he is still popular among Republicans, but he only needs to be extremely unpopular with just one psychotic gun nut, and he’s pissed a lot of them off recently.
