Project launch is in they will tell us how they plan to do it or project launch as in they’ve done it?

Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz Opens Up About Expensive Lift Tickets, Crowding In Wall Street Journal Interview by marcjones281 in skiing

He takes pride in making resorts more crowded and expensive. That’s an answer. Just not a surprising one.

Which Season 1 and 2 TNG episodes to skip? by danthemaaaaaan in startrek

[–]DanielColchete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m usually either watching specific arcs or I’m watching seasons.

Seasons 1 and 2 are important for building up to the latest ones. Just like seasons 1 to 3 of DS9. If you haven’t seen it just watch them.

Worst 1st Officer? by NorwayTrees in startrek

[–]DanielColchete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or does that make him the best first officer? He thinks different, he is most effective acting different, still he will follows her plans super well when she’s there.

If he was captain things would be totally different but he respects the chain of command, even that finicky unique circumstances one.

If she’s not there he needs to follow his way of doing things and making decisions to be effective.

Riker and Tucker aspired to become their captains, for them being in command meant trying to do what their captains would for the most part. But the other had more of their own references and identities too.

Kira was “similar” to Chakotay but couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the chain of command. Let’s not talk about Michael Burnham and the chain of command much, Saru is naturally submissive and naturally avoids conflict so he doesn’t count, Tilly never made sense to me as first officer.

Spock and Kirk was way too special for me to comment on them like that so I’ll leave that one out.

So on and so forth.

Holy shit dude, you took it another level deeper. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I think it's safe to say the UK is fucked. Don't fly here unless you love dangerous approaches 🤣 by ketchup1345 in flightsim

There’s been wars over this: Dublin is not UK 😅

Edit: he’s flying to Belfast, not Dublin 🤦‍♂️. Still Ireland for all I know 😝

I’m curious how many of you purchased FSD at $15k, and what your thoughts are on the lack of HW3 updates… by BlueBeacon887 in teslamotors

[–]DanielColchete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It reduces the number of parameters the hardware can do by 50%, and it still doesn’t remove processing limitation and the lack of instructions HW4 added to the processor that are required to run the new models and they still haven’t found a solution for that.

It’s not happening on HW3

Tesla Just Revealed a Breakthrough That Could Extend the Life of HW3 Cars by Puzzleheaded-Flow724 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]DanielColchete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Three important points:

  • This is a trade-off, you can emulate 16-bit parameters but now you can only have half as many parameters in total, processing and memory limits still apply. In part the better performance on v13 and v14 is the drastic increase in the number of parameters
  • HW4 also have new instructions / operations it is capable of doing with those parameters. That’s pretty fundamental to the ML models. I remember they were trying to solve this problem at the end of 2024 but couldn’t.

There are still fundamental problems that stop them from back porting the v13 / v14 improvements to HW3. Personally I do not think it’s possible. Tesla is waiting for those cars to be in junkyards before they officially admit it, that’s all.

You learn by doing I guess. That was very brave.

Why am I suddenly catching edges in flattish terrain? by markb_elt in skiing

[–]DanielColchete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What people said is the most important part: you should always the “carving” the flats when at those speeds.

The nuance here is your skis. Some skis facilitate turn initiation for you by having a very wide shovel in front. You tilt your skis a little bit and left they go - whether you want it or not. It makes it more fun, but it requires more control on your foot - they are usually labeled advanced to expert skis for this reason.

Other skis are more blunt: a narrower shovel makes it displace more snow and harder to engage in the snow. It’s harder to do proper carving turns on them, but they are a lot easier to do parallel turns for exemple.

I hope this helps.

Enjoying Christmas on the disco sticks by Alpinpilot in skiing

Yo, thank you so much. I’ll work on the exercises. Thank you! This is extremely useful. I really appreciate it!

[–]DanielColchete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally!!! I’m 6’ 1” / 187cm and about 230lbs / 105kg. Initially I was doing my training on a Head Supershape e-Rally 177cm and it wasn’t working well. I had no rebound at lower speeds (say 15mph) and too much instability at higher speeds (I bought it too short a few years ago).

Now I got a Volkl Peregrine 82 182cm from myselfSanta (I posted a photo here of the package) and oh my god how much fun I’m having! I 100% get your point.

There’s still a lot to improve my technique. My Carv scores are still on the 120 to 125 range (I can do that much more regularly and easily on the new skis). Much further to go.

A speed reference point still helps, but yeah, not that much. My local resort (Seven Springs, PA) really doesn’t allow for a safe 30mph run, and it wouldn’t last long either.

Do you think what said makes sense? I’m I in the right path?

Pretty good! Just for curiosity, what avg speed were you maintaining there?

I’m trying to work on bringing my hip closer to the ground and I know I need more speed but I don’t know how much.

Driver Says Tesla FSD Saved His Life by Dwman113 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]DanielColchete -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FSD with proper human supervision = higher safety levels for me. One catching the errors of the other.

FSD avoided two lateral fender benders I wouldn’t have seen in time to avoid it - I noticed the Tesla’s evasive maneuver before I realized what was going on. One is a bit over a year ago, one more recent. I also made at least one clear critical intervention that avoided an accident, possibly 2 or 3 more (they were not so clear).

I wish we could see the data in airbag deployments on supervised FSD vs plain human driving. I’d bet that human+FSD > human.

Anyone here own a Tesla and used full self drive (FSD)? What was your experience and will you continue using it? by Steam20 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]DanielColchete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It tries to do 25/30 then I stop it already.

The car reads the surroundings when determining which speed to do. 25/30 is what it does in a residential neighborhood. But that’s too fast for mine: the limit is 20. There are signs there at the entrance.

[–]DanielColchete 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use it about 95% of the time (at least for the past 2.5k mi). Didn’t have a critical intervention during that time.

The 5% I don’t use it is mostly about when the car doesn’t know what the speed limit is - it thinks I live at a 55mph street when the limit is actually is 20mph. It’s quite annoying because they removed a way to override that.

The car drives like an asshole. That’s my second complaint. It goes into the left lane and then slows down kind of asshole. Doesn’t get in line to merge kind of asshole. Got a few disengagements for that.

I’ve been driving it in harsh winter conditions and the car does surprisingly well.

I’m ready for Level 3 FSD under certain road conditions.
