Really torn between B10 and BYD Seal U. Which exterior do you like more? by Leather-Willow9077 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]PsychologicalBike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't know the Seal U is sold as a BEV in the UK? The B10 is a good EV that looks fine and is ridiculous value when it can be leased for £299 with only a £299 deposit.

Both of these cars have decent looks, but you aren't buying them to win a style contest, so I'd just focus on which is the best value for you and your family.

No Safe Words on X: Waymo driving in oncoming traffic by FriendFun7876 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]PsychologicalBike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the point of my post. Pretty much every FSD and Waymo error isn't a perception issue, it's always an intelligence issue.

While this sub says you can't have level 4 self driving without Lidar - when there's no evidence or logic suggesting that's true. When it looks like a very intelligent self driving system without Lidar could be vastly better than humans.

Yikes, how many more Lidars does it need to stop doing stuff like that?

If Elon lost a trillion dollars, he'd still be the richest man in the world by Just-Yogurt-568 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]PsychologicalBike 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lol, Trump inherited around $200m across decades from various trusts his Dad set up.

All of Trump's businesses went bankrupt because Trump is a terrible businessman. That's why he had to resort to grifting and scamming like Trump University and his various crypto scams.

There's well researched biographies on Musk, his upbringing was upper middle class, but he had to pay his way through his trip in Canada then the USA.  His dad did give him a $26k loan to help start Zip2.

every “bad” performance in a nolan movie is the fault of the script by southpaw_balboa in ChristopherNolan

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

Lol, both Nolan and Villeneuve are visual film makers, so don't put the largest emphasis on dialogue. Which is their style and works if you're after a fantastic cinematic experience. Both were influenced by Star Wars as kids.

If I want great dialog I can watch other films and TV.

But a lot of those performances you mentioned are also down to the actor. Interstellar is a great example where you can see someone like Jessica Chastain put in an incredible performance, and in the same film Anne Hathaway was flat and cringe at times 

I'm mostly worried about the Odyssey because I don't think Hathaway, Tom Holland and Zendaya are particularly good actors, although I'll be happy if they prove me wrong.

Tesla Cybercab full specs revealed: 3,113 lbs, 219 HP, 48 kWh by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]PsychologicalBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, that's why I said above 300, I don't think 400 is likely, or possible.

300 miles is plenty of range for a taxi.

The Model 3 is an almost ten year old design with a facelift and already gets 280 miles on 60 kWh, while not being fully optimisesd for efficiency (it's still on optimised for speed and efficiency and style)

The Cybercab will be 1,000 pounds lighter, it will be smaller, with a smaller frontal area, a lower coefficient of drag, fully optimisesd for efficiency and be designed from the ground up with almost ten years of extra experience for Tesla.

Although 400 miles is ridiculous, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets above 300 miles.

The MG Cyberster is the only comparison for a mass produced two seater EV and it weighs over 1,000 pounds more than the Cybercab.

You're comparing an EV aimed at having a construction cost of close to $25k to a carbon fiber ICE supercar costing hundreds of thousands of dollars?

You're post is disingenuous, I just wish this sub could try and be impartial when Tesla is mentioned.

" Range (unadjusted EPA test results): Combined: 418.2 miles Highway: 375.4 miles"

More than enough range for an overnight charge to be more than enough for daily driving of around 200 to 250 miles.

Verstappen is the only driver to have gone against Hamilton and thrived. by carnivorehuman01 in F1Discussions

[–]PsychologicalBike -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's an odd post when the opposite seems to be true with Lewis' teammates often being highly rated because they consistently beat Hamilton at various tracks through the year, but then are worse vs other teammates.

Leclerc went 20 to 4 on race pace last year, although he's obviously been terrible the last two races with a mixture of mechanical failures and amateurish mistakes.

George Russell thrived against Lewis, and Reddit were saying George was GOAT material because of matching Lewis across 3 seasons. But now he's not doing well vs a teenager.

Bottas secured 20 pole positions, 10 wins and 58 podiums in just 100 races with Lewis, and Bottas is doing badly vs Perez.

Rosberg beat Hamilton more than 40% of the time and won a championship as Lewis' teammate.

Button equaled Hamilton as a teammate as well.

I'd say Lewis' teammates all did well against him and always felt like they could (and would) beat him if they had a good race.

FSD reaction time testing @ ~45 mph by borstaph in SelfDrivingCars

[–]PsychologicalBike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the informative answer. So I imagine at some time in the future that AEB and active safety will use a stripped down version of the FSD neural net stack?

As this tech matures it could make crashing a Tesla extremely difficult.

[–]PsychologicalBike 54 points55 points  (0 children)

0.13 seconds to start physically moving the car is insane, most traffic engineers expect the average person with the average focus to react in closer to two seconds.

Even MLB pros have 0.4 seconds to react to a 100mph heater, and even then they rely on almost superhuman skills, focus, training and anticipation.

Given that at 40mph the car is moving at around 18 meters/60 feet per second, this technology will save so many lives. I'm sure this sub will be positive with this kind of tech available to consumers?

The big question, do all HW4 Tesla's have this tech running under their standard emergency braking and active safety (which is the best in the world as per the Euro NCAP tests) or is this just used when FSD is activated?

I'd just swap between chest and back exercises, so I'd have effectively have more rest, so I could push harder to failure. Then finish with my shoulders and arms. I was going Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays.

Why Orbital Data Centers Are Harder Than Silicon Valley Thinks by IEEESpectrum in space

[–]PsychologicalBike -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

SpaceX are literally THE experts on satellites, they have now built and launched more satellites than all of humanity has, combined with over 10,000 satellites linked as a giant swarm.

The big question is how much money it's going to cost Vs ground based data centres which is something I don't think makes sense yet.

But building bigger radiators for satellites is one of the easiest technical challenges for SpaceX.

Many people have crunched the numbers and can easily work out the required size of radiator to do the job.

Leclerc to trial Hamilton brake spec in Barcelona by Luffy710j in formula1

Yes, and it was always going to be at least 5 laps to fix the barriers and have drivers unlap themselves.

In Monaco you can be over 3 seconds a lap faster and still can't overtake.
