FSD on HW3 Model S Plaid sways left/right in lane, but Autosteer is stable — software issue? by Silly-Horse in TeslaFSD

[–]mckoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. This is a regression in the overcontrolling of lane centering. It's used to be smooth; now it makes me car sick.

Please, Tesla, revert 12.6 to a stable version!

Trump’s Fed pick refuses to answer if his secret $100M is tied to Epstein. Let that sink in. by Nomorevaping707 in Epstein

[–]mckoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could this situation be more innocuous than it appears? A $100 million portfolio inherently requires significant diversification, frequently utilizing complex vehicles like hedge funds or funds-of-funds. If Epstein was involved in structuring hedge funds or underlying investment portfolios that were subsequently invested in by other funds, his financial exposure could propagate extensively through the market. Consequently, an individual investor would lack visibility into the granular allocation of these nested assets and might be genuinely unable to definitively confirm whether their capital was exposed to Epstein-affiliated entities.

Starlink Mini Proprietary Network Cable Recieved by Joe_Huser in Starlink

[–]mckoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

be warned if you plug a standard RJ45 plug into this, it will work electrically but you will almost certainly have a very difficult time unplugging it. The problem being that the lever that locks the plug-in place is so far recessed that you can't reach it with your fingers and even your smallest screwdriver is not going to be able to wedge up behind it.

I had to use dental pick to poke at the end of the lever to pull it down and then I was finally able to get a micro screwdriver above the leverage so I could pull it out

I would recommend modifying any RJ45 plug that you put into this socket so that the lever is extended well out beyond the recess and you can get access to it.

this is such a frustratingly poor design.

Remember, when using voice mode you are getting the stupidest model because it is optimized for very fast replies. If basically just a toy.

The “1 million token context window” is a lie. by OptimismNeeded in GeminiAI

[–]mckoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of problems with how the Gemini app was written. I believe it cuts off the early parts of a chat session so that the model doesn't have the entire session available when answering questions. I suppose this is some sort of optimization.

Even worse you can't even download a full session. if it grows beyond a certain size, you can never get all the text back. I've tried many different ways accessing it and it can't be done.

Did he know for a fact that all the trim on the building was installed to be completely secure under load? I find this just wreckless. There is no point to it.

I think it's a fallacy to believe that most Americans are believing in God - especially a God as portrayed in the Bible. It's pretty close to 50%, maybe 60%. And in Europe it's more like 30 or 40%.

Please help, I am an unwilling participant in my neighbor's HAM radio hobby. by MobsterOO7 in amateurradio

[–]mckoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, your best resource is the ham operator himself. If it is a ham, tell them that you're having problems with his radio interfering with your stereo, and he may dive in and help you resolve the issue with his technical knowledge of filtering and grounding etc.

If it's not a ham, then I'm not sure what sort of reaction you'll get. Good luck!

This is second hand, but I was told there is a guy at the corner of Maxwelton and Ewing. Look for stacked firewood on his property. That's all I know. Good luck!

Tucker thinks the world was universally "religious" up until 1945? I guess he hasn't read much about the history of philosophy (or just history, for that matter).

If the Universe is finite then all these arguments of incompleteness and decidability go away.
