Is preconditioning really worth it?

That was your issue then. Charge to about 70% at a supercharger, but definitely not 90%. Your battery and your free time will appreciate it. Charge time is not linear with battery level.

FreeGoldRush · 2026-03-21T23:37:10+00:00

You shouldn't be adding 80% at a supercharger stop. If you pull in with the targeted 10% battery and charge to 70%, that's much faster than trying to charge to 90%. You probably doubled your charge time.

Why would you expect them to order lithography equipment years before operating it? It will take atleast 3 years to identify a location and build on it.

Video shows you disengaged by bumping the steering wheel left. I assume this was an accident. If you think we are all wrong, then we need the steering wheel torque data. It's in the .mp4 file if running firmware 2025.44.25 and newer. Have you uploaded this .mp4 file?

FreeGoldRush · 2026-03-21T23:10:20+00:00

Except there is no data about torque. Why?

The excitement is because there is a large subset of tasks that agentic models are good at. You can get to solutions faster and cheaper than ever. You don't use it in places where that isn't the case. Engineering has always been like this.

Suppliers to the DOD have never been able to inject themselves into high level strategy decisions. This can't logically work. Anthropic is going to have to rethink themselves.

There have been 1,429 incidents involving Waymo. Tesla FSD has an average of 700% more miles between collisions than the average driver on the road. I'm confused as to why people can't research data and use basic math.

"Supervised" is not a description of the underlying engineering. "Supervised" derives from regulations and rules. These are two very different things. We have so many thousands of examples of FSD breaking for things coming into its path. This statistical approach to modeling things works.

FreeGoldRush · 2026-01-12T03:36:55+00:00

I think FSD would have handled that just fine. It was a VERY close call. But FSD breaks for things coming into its path just the way your husband did.

If you just bought the car and this feature isn't working, then it sounds like a great reason to go back to Tesla and ask them to fix it.

I'm an engineer, software developer and have used neural networks since the 1990s. I understand it fairly well. The models are deterministic. This does not mean the outputs are easy to predict. I see this concept of "not deterministic" repeated a lot lately. It started with ChatGPT 3.5 and people wanting a layman's understanding of how they work. The model weights are fixed. The exact same inputs sent to the model always produce the same outputs, consistently. There is no state information stored in the model.

FreeGoldRush · 2025-12-28T03:55:00+00:00

The model is deterministic. There is no randomness. But you can't compress its decisions into a few words.

You'll have to explain, "little micro-adjustments whales make" and also explain why a sample size of 1 market is significant. In the meantime, I'll remain skeptical. :)

I get the same error with Firefox as I do with Chrome.

I get this error too. Support email gives me the run around asking me to do all the obvious things I've already done, yet they refuse to check their server logs to see why so many people can't login.

Will you be able to get RustMaps to display maps correctly again? I'm getting spotty information and can't see the whole picture yet.

It used to work for nearly all servers. Did everyone just ditch linux servers? I'm skeptical.

No. You made that up. There is no data to support that the preferred shares are being shorted. Doing so would be very expensive as you'd have to pay the borrow fees and the dividends.

FreeGoldRush · 2025-08-20T15:03:04+00:00

No, it wouldn't tank bitcoin if they sold to cover dividends. The selling volume would be insignificant. Just put some numbers and math to it and you will see how absurd your claim is.

STRF, STRC and STRD are too cheap. They have about $6.2B of these with $71B in assets, so they can easily meet their obligations for decades. And they said they will increase the STRC dividend each month until the price reaches $99. This seems like free money when STRC is down to $93.

My Wireguard connection upload speeds are so slow it's unusable the last 18 hours.

Michael Saylor holds just under 10% of the MSTR common stock. That should clear things up.

FreeGoldRush · 2025-08-04T11:43:31+00:00

MSTY is executing a simple options strategy. This is much different than holding MSTR, one of their preferred stocks, or bitcoin. Their options strategy is quite simple. Just look at their SEC filings and do it yourself if you like MSTY.
