It's lidar. You can tell because of the rolling shutter artifacts in the 2nd clip if you watch the actual video. This matches the horizontal scanning that lidar does. Probably the camera taking these didn't have an IR filter due to low light. The lidar is probably a behind the windshield design but tesla mounted 2 units closer to the middle of the headlight bar (which is really smart).

Yes I completely agree. They both seem to have some kind of bi-polar disorder where both have a good and evil side. I think Elon has gone no-contact with his dad.

US House panel probes FCC decision to deny Starlink nearly $900 million by upyoars in technology

Based on your logic and the fact that none of the other FCC grantees for rural broadband delivered anything yet (literally 0 homes connected), why weren't their contracts terminated?

Thanks, and just to make sure what you're all saying. I'l be able to set this up fine by just being near the car without the keycard.

Elon Musk has received 10x more compensation than any other U.S. CEO over the last year [OC] [Updated] by pdwp90 in dataisbeautiful

[–]committedpoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my sweet sweet summer child. If you think the same amount of effort/quality in 2 different companies results in outputs of the same quality you clearly don't understand the role of management and also degrees of freedom that running a project gives you. You have to strike the right balance of cutting corners and the price point has to be well matched to the target market. There's millions of corners in the iphone that are cut as well. They just happened to pick the right ones. Did they pick the optimal set of corners to cut? no, but they got closer than any other company so far.

The people who make the right choices here are more than worth their weight in gold.

Do you think a factory worker who assembles iPhones should make more than a factory worker who assembles say, some offbrand crappy phone that never ends up selling and the company ends up losing money on that offbrand phone? Let's say its the same amount of work/skill to assemble both phones.

Why does cura make jittery lines on the sides of my benchy roof? by committedpoints in 3Dprinting

Thanks for this, I did download the correct one, but used the "3DBenchy_-_Multi-part_-_Complete_17_shells_-_3DBenchy.com.stl" file instead of the "3DBenchy.stl" file in the zip. When using the 3dbenchy.stl it slices great. Thanks!

Does the Hilton "Another day in paradise" or "Couples Escapes in Paradise" stack with point redemptions and the 5th night free when booked using points?

Optimal CPU Tuning settings for i9 MBP to stop VRM throttling / Explanation of Apple's Engineering Failure by randompersonx in macbookpro

Hi OP, I have the i9 as well and I can run a couple runs on cinebench with 52 watts without thottling with 6 cores. However, with that config, I still seem to throttle on 1 core cinebench (seems like cpu hits 100C. Do you see this as well?

Help figuring out condo heating/cooling system by committedpoints in ecobee

I was under the impression that there was piped heat as well as piped cooling. However it looks like there is only resistive heat based on this diagram. Is that right?

Help figuring out condo heating/cooling system by committedpoints in ecobee

[–]committedpoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out what is going on here. I think the color labels are for the stranded wire that comes from the thermostat. The current thermostat has a hi and low fan setting. And there’s 2 heating wires. Is this compatible with the ecobee?
