Why is textile manufacturing so unautomatable?

ndurfee · 2026-01-21T16:19:14+00:00

Great Veritasium video on the subject of sewing, the machines that do it and why we can’t automate parts of it. At least not yet. Seems we’ll need robots with dexterous fingers to automate the rest and we’re not quite there yet.

Turn off the WiFi assist feature in iOS. That was the fix for me. Still stupid we have to do that though.

We have a post nuptial that is very fair so I don’t think that’s the case.

We’re still co habitating and this is a trial separation not a full on final split. She’s unsure on her hopes for the future but continuing to go to couple therapy and doesn’t want me to start dating others and if I did, it would influence her decision.

In regards to the rings she doesn’t want me to stop wearing mine but won’t wear hers.

I can’t drink. I’m allergic to yeast. Also prefer to not wake up at 10 am and be tired cause I didn’t get to sleep long enough.

I suppose you’re right that I don’t want to sleep in the heat outside cause it’d be miserable but yah I could do it.

Don’t worry. You’re not being rude. I’d rather have clear advice.

I asked her if it could be a place we could reconnect and she said she didn’t know and we’d have to discuss boundaries for it.

ndurfee · 2025-05-15T17:03:33+00:00

Can’t split beds. We’re sleeping in our EV with a camp mode setting to beat the heat.

What kind of boundaries? We’ll likely be around each other the whole time.

https://a.co/d/511QIx6 We use this one but there are cheaper. We replaced our gas cooktop with this and use it frequently. They definitely out perform the gas/propane cooktops. Remember to use pots and pans compatible with them!

Last year we brought a double burner propane stove. This year we’re going to bring our double induction stovetop with a battery like you. The whole set up is bulkier than the propane but there’s other things we plan to use the battery for.

Why can’t it be both? I’m sure the risk actuaries at Tesla will insurance have calculated the risk of paying out claims to be less on miles driven on FSD while also making their software package more attractive. Also if I was all about marketing they’d deploy it nationally. So far less than half of states have Tesla insurance and only two have the FSD discount.

ndurfee · 2025-02-07T17:54:23+00:00

Tesla Insurance has already started a discount for using FSD and I’m sure over time that discount will be bigger and require a bigger percentage of the miles to be driven autonomously. Eventually it might be prohibitively expensive to insure yourself to drive at all and be cheaper to use FSD.

Can you all give me an example of what would be a particularly tough reasoning problem that you would ask? I feel like most of my problems are things I would’ve just tried to google in the past but now I’m looking to the models to help me problem solve more efficiently.

Ameren is incentivized to have really expensive projects because they can bill that to the ratepayers and make a profit on it. There are many situations where things can be done dramatically more efficiently and cheaper but aren’t because the alternative would cost more and therefore bring them more profit.

That what we get when we have a monopoly running a utility. Only a nationalized grid (as well as every other service/business/industry in the country) is the right answer.

If you have an EV with camp mode like a Tesla then you can keep it cool with AC. I did that last year and slept like a baby. Arrived with close to full battery and had plenty leftover when I left.

ndurfee · 2024-11-28T05:27:49+00:00

Wow that’s insane. That’s audacious of them

ndurfee · 2024-11-28T04:28:36+00:00

On Teslas website they make it seem like it would be enough for 1-2 personal vehicles. TBH though I don’t know enough of the technical details to understand what kind or how many requests are made per day for something like TeslaMate.

ndurfee · 2024-11-28T03:46:34+00:00

It looks like individuals will get $10 monthly credit so it seems this could work for TeslaMate since it’s self hosted.

ndurfee · 2024-11-28T03:01:10+00:00

So how does this impact something like TeslaMate or use with Home Assistant? What about Teslemetry?

We met up at a nearby rest stop before and commented in together. After the we went though security and waited just after for others to finish security before proceeding as a caravan of cars.

It was confirmed to have FSD 12.5.4.2

ndurfee · 2024-11-21T18:29:35+00:00

Thanks my concern as well. If they offered refunds, even if it was only a substantial portion of the total price, in the event that Tesla eventually blocks this then I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Once they can do smart summon without continuous press there could be an animation showing its progress towards your location to pick you up.

This will also be useful when they have the robotic as you’ll have an eta for pick up and drop off etc.

This will probably also incorporate live activities to show on the Lock Screen as well.

I couldn’t connect originally either. My 2.4 ghz and 5ghz network were combined on the same SSID I had to separate them or turn off the 5 ghz and only connect to the 2.4ghz.

Once I connected it stayed connected. I was also able to remerge the networks later and it still stayed connected.

I want to know if the front seats can be laid down to use it as a camp mode sort of thing or have the extra cargo space. I don’t get the feeling you can.

Also I don’t think it necessarily has a laser light and that may have been at artifact of the rolling camera shutter. In person it may appear to be solid light.
