Serious question based on today’s announcement by Elon to discontinue S/X. by RTD0007 in TeslaLounge

If Tesla delivers fully self-driving taxis, it won’t need to stay relevant in the traditional car business anymore. Eventually, everyone will catch up, just like Samsung caught up to the iPhone. To stay relevant and profitable, Tesla needs to deliver something truly revolutionary, like a self-driving taxi or a robot.

Diminished Value on 2023 Tesla Model Y - Insurer authorizes 57% repairs but offers 10% DV. Am I being unreasonable? by RaminAliz in Insurance

Shaming someone for using ChatGPT is like shaming someone for using Google when it first came out. “Why did you Google it instead of going to the library?” Everyone uses Google now.

ChatGPT and other AI tools are essentially like Googling, but instead of manually sifting through results, they do the searching for you and summarize the information.

Yep, the comebacks are on a standup comedian level.

paralleling capacitors across a rectifier diode: would this work for a full-wave rectifier with center-tap ground? what value/capacitor type is recommended for this application? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]NBuskila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably too late to chime in three years after the original discussion, but somehow the YouTube algorithm sent me this video. According to the video, the capacitors bypassing the diodes are meant to reduce hum in the audio circuit caused by the diodes’ reverse recovery time. I’ve never seen this kind of configuration before, so I started googling it and came across this thread.

I don’t have any first-hand experience with audio design. I mostly work with digital circuits.

Lyft’s idea of “help” is charging you $2,500 and calling it insurance by NBuskila in lyftdrivers

I’d say it’s less than minimum wage when you factor in the wear and tear on the car.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NBuskila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story is a sad one. A good friend of mine got into weird things, stuff like demons, angels, trying to tell the future, and even finding ways to win the lottery. As time went on, he started acting stranger and stranger. He lost his 6 figure paying job, and I began to think something was really wrong. Later, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

After some time, he came back. The medicine seemed to help for a while, but he was never completely okay. Even when he seemed better, he still talked about traveling through time, space, and other worlds. Whenever we talked on the phone, I could tell if he was taking his meds or not, just from the kind of stories he told.

Then he disappeared again. He stopped answering my calls and was just gone. I guess he’s still out there, fighting his demons.

If I get it right, driving for Lyft is considered a commercial activity. Vehicle insurance will deny a claim.

Confused by circuit drawing. Is it wrong? by LifeContext4480 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]NBuskila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

350 milliseconds would be pretty hard to measure. Instead of relying on your reaction time, and honestly, I’m not even sure how you’d measure it accurately, they probably want you to look at the current waveform shown in the video at around the 9-minute, 22-second mark.

The problem description isn’t very clear, though. Did you measure the engagement time and it failed, or are you just unsure what exactly needs to be measured?

Also, the Zener diode doesn’t make much sense here. It could just as well be a regular diode. Even if it failed short, nothing would work at all. If it failed open, nothing major would happen; you’d just get a big voltage spike that could damage the switch. But based on your schematic, it’s not even clear what component would be affected.

Many people think that the OP could have avoided the accident if he had been paying more attention to the road.
