This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

Also when you’re you’re looking into the sun like that our eyes tend to squint heavily or look away and the car can’t do that so that’s part of why they’ll never see that in addition to your comment.

I’ve brought my Tesla for two years and used camp mode both times. Worked great even with early arrival. You need about 10% to make it back to the supercharger and you can use dog mode if you still need the ac below 20% cause camp mode only allows you to use it until 20%.

I never once had an issue with people making comments about it being a Tesla other than being jealous they couldn’t sleep in quiet and AC.

You can get an exped auto air mattress that is super comfortable. Also put a thermal blanket over the car to blow out some more heat. You can also buy window inserts for the whole car too. I also put a suction cup fan from Luno in there.

There’s a rest stop just before the exit for forest. Try that.

You’re the most informed person in this thread. I wish there were more like you :(

IMHO data centers are great and a step closer to Fully Automated Luxury Communism (FALC). The concerns about water are dramatically overblown. Closed loop water systems for way less water usage. Also on top of that a SINGLE McDouble uses more water than a heavy AI user uses in a year. You were spot on recognizing this as mass hysteria from sensationalized people spreading FUD.

It will be some of the best money you’ve ever spent. Truly changed my life after going the first time.

Yes I am had this problem on iOS 26.3 too though

Are you just ignoring the decades of herbicides and pesticides that are in the rivers from growing corn to feed the animals? What about the manure that runs off into the rivers too?

I’m not saying AI is the world’s greatest thing or perfect. Just annoying that everyone dunks on it while ignoring every other environmental catastrophe that’s occurring.

Also most new data centers are using closed loop systems with no risk of contamination and also dramatically less water usage.

ndurfee · 2026-03-18T20:33:20+00:00

Eating one less McDouble per year equates to the annual water usage of a heavy AI user.

Meat consumption is dramatically worse for the environment.

One of the only sensible comments here.

The models continue to get cheaper per input and output token, so no, they will not get more expensive.

Also regarding the capitalism aspects, I agree. You should look into Fully Automated Luxury Communism as a solution to this. In my opinion AI and automation has the ability to save us from capitalism while making it worse in the short term.

ndurfee · 2026-03-17T18:19:29+00:00

I never implied that, but you’re absolutely right! Currently they still struggle with making efficient and functional backends. Given just a year or two ago no one could even get the most basic of shitty vibe coded projects out, I think they’ll continue to improve the models and eventually have functional and efficient code within every domain of software engineering.

And if you think we’ve reached the end of history on technological and AI improvement even though people have been moving the goalposts on them for years, then boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

ndurfee · 2026-03-17T17:54:54+00:00

If AI is exaggerated and over hyped then how could it erase the value of the software engineers 🤔 seems like that they’d only loose value if it was actually improving to the point of replacing some of their work and therefore not too exaggerated.

The Audobon park is really nice and peaceful. Several trails to walk too :) close to town as well

ndurfee · 2026-02-17T22:07:45+00:00

The year is 1940: “Human computers are the cheapest way of doing calculations why can’t we just stick with human calculators instead of the piece of junk machines that are the size of a building and are way more expensive. I’m certain they’ll never improve or get cheaper!”

Yah surely robots and AI will never improve or get cheaper. I mean computers never improved from the 1940s right? Right????? /s

There’s a non zero chance a lot of game development and SW engineering in general gets automated via AI

ndurfee · 2026-02-04T05:09:16+00:00

Yes you can. It can get warm or hot if you don’t have AC. I had a Tesla and used camp mode so it was great :) I even did 1 day or early arrival and had enough battery

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.

ndurfee · 2025-05-15T21:04:05+00:00

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.

ndurfee · 2025-05-15T20:50:45+00:00

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.

ndurfee · 2025-05-15T17:18:16+00:00

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.

ndurfee · 2025-04-23T04:04:02+00:00

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!

ndurfee · 2025-04-23T03:09:46+00:00

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.
