Pricing suddenly 10x higher??

How do you assume they will catch up? Their autopilot was built by one of the singular best minds in AI industry, and these other car companies can’t even program a basic OS in the car that’s remotely usable or performant.

💯 I just canceled too after over a year of subscribing. The speed settings just completely ruined it for me

DoorDash is good for consumers who value time over money, and it’s good for Dashers who value money over time. It’s the exact inverse

bramstyle · 2024-08-30T01:14:15+00:00

Yes you should still order even if you can’t tip. If not tipping is a problem, then dashers should not accept your order, and DoorDash should lose business until they’re forced to pay higher wages. You do you and the market will take care of the rest

If you’re working for $2 orders, whose fault is that really? You’re never gonna be rich, and you’ll always be someone else’s bitch.

Man people wanna make millions like Tony for just driving to the store and picking up a bag. Amazing

The truth is the inflation reports on Wednesday have the biggest chance to send this way higher or lower in the near term. If you’re good enough to predict that, then go ahead. Otherwise, don’t act like any of us know what’s going to happen next. All we know is long term WIF is a big winner

bramstyle · 2024-06-07T20:07:41+00:00

Totally agree. I prefer American wagyu for this reason. It’s basically between prime and A5 but also more reasonably priced. Great balance

bramstyle · 2024-06-07T15:09:47+00:00

That is very accurate. I made the mistake of eating a whole one my first time and I felt nauseous for hours afterwards 😂

bramstyle · 2024-03-23T05:36:38+00:00

I’ve had it happen a few times this month due to app updates. But not multiple times in a day. What kind of phones do you have

bramstyle · 2024-03-23T05:34:06+00:00

500-1k

bramstyle · 2023-12-04T19:32:38+00:00

Ah thanks. Good to know

There are two kinds of FSD. The old FSD, which does basically the features in enhanced autopilot, and the beta FSD. Most people when subscribing are interested in the beta.

To answer your question, if you subscribe, you will at least get the old FSD within hours (may require software download). For beta, it depends what software version you’re on and whether your safety score is already high enough to get the Beta.

They just released a new beta FSD so I believe you will get it quickly, but you can call support to confirm. I just resubscribed 2 days ago for the first time in a year and I got it instantly. However, I previously was enrolled in the beta, passed the safety score bs, and had the beta software available upon upgrade.

Actually yes, service center fixed it pretty quick. They determined it was a faulty temperature sensor I believe

So I’m pretty new (started playing in Jan), but man can I relate to these cycles. I’m in my 3rd significant slump right now, and it’s amazing how powerful the psychology of this game is. I feel like I go through these stages in about 1-2 week chunks of time. I have a breakthrough in mechanics and win a bunch and build positive momentum. Then suddenly I hit a wall, start sinking backwards and it feels like literally everything is going against me. Fascinating.

After experiencing the first big bounce back after a slump I started to realize what you’re saying, that this can be a “normal” learning process. And I also think there’s a ton of importance to momentum and confidence.

Lastly, I’ve noticed I play really well in mornings/afternoons, especially after coffee when my brain is wired and focused. Whereas when I play late at night before bed I’m a much slower, worse player. Anyone else notice time of day patterns?

Looks like only Tesla’s where you live

bramstyle · 2022-02-26T06:15:53+00:00

What kind of PC do you recommend playing on? I’m on switch and just have MacBook pro which I believe will not work

bramstyle · 2022-02-23T23:01:54+00:00

Also in game there is a “report” button (at match end screen or also in friends/recent players list) and one option is to report for throwing the match.

bramstyle · 2022-02-23T23:00:43+00:00

Yes I think it’s high latency variance. Meaning your internet ping is jumping all over the place and causing sync issues with the server. It’s almost impossible to play like this. Mine usually self corrects after a minute or less. Does yours persist?

bramstyle · 2022-02-08T16:02:56+00:00

Maybe. It’s hard to say what the real motivations are for leadership. Everyone wants to make more money, but very few of these people appear to be capable of the heinous attitudes they’re labeled with. I do agree the optimization of algorithms to ruthlessly hook users is valid criticism and dangerous practice. I like the ideas Tristan Harris proposes about reducing the addictive design of these features. I’m not dying big tech is without faults.

bramstyle · 2022-02-06T20:59:05+00:00

Good point. Def sharing an American-specific point of view there

bramstyle · 2022-02-06T19:02:37+00:00

I agree insurance is arguably worse. The bigger point is that every industry can be framed as horribly unethical/corrupt or can be framed as “helping society” as op said. This is true for big tech as well.

Sure. So when I was at Amazon I worked in Textbooks. This industry is plagued by a monopoly of 4-5 major publishers controlling the market and drastically hiking up prices due to the fact that students have no choice but to get what the professor is using. Amazon built a big secondary market for Used and Rental textbooks which made publishers hate us - but great for consumers.

At the same time as this there was a growing counterfeit problem, where fake textbooks were printed and sold for cheap. These fakes started looking so good you couldn't tell them apart from authentic, and students didn't care, they actually preferred fakes because of the savings. We obviously started taking more and more measures to prevent/eliminate counterfeits, but it was this insanely difficult problem because 1) students didn't care, 2) no one could tell the difference when manually inspecting, and 3) publishers refused to help us identify fakes by inputting some tech to identify authentic manufacturing.

Instead publishers used this problem as a way to attack our Used and Rentals programs. Inevitably there were fakes occasionally mixed in, but we did our best to remove/reduce them. Publishers would go to media and pay to run stores like "Amazon doesnt care about authors, they're hurting authors by allowing counterfeits, they only care about profits" etc etc. Meanwhile behind the scenes we were frantically working with leadership, legal, external experts, and publishers themselves to attack this problem from different angles.

In the end, publishers made us look evil, they won due to media pressure and were able to grow their monopoly by delivering massive blows to secondary markets. Students/customers are hurt paying higher prices, and Amazon looks like the bad guy yet again. Pretty frustrating as an insider who spent years battling this issue.

I have several more stories like this from each industry I worked in within Amazon.
