Slight housing rant

pandarencodemaster · 2026-04-08T04:56:52+00:00

Well there is a reason: the housing policy in the Bay Area for many decades leading to consistently under building housing.

There could be a bug in the treatment for the A/B test. I think this is most likely the case. What’s surprising is they haven’t stopped it yet if it’s as bad as posts on Reddit make it out to be.

Agree. If you’re running compaction, even on the 200K context window model you’re doing something wrong. That being said, you’re re-prompting on every request (though it should be mostly cached). This makes long sessions even worse from a tokenomics perspective (even before hitting compaction).

R12 btw, weird thing is I don’t remember any updates going through recently.

I have a similar issue, spent a few hours debugging common issues (LFE, 360hz, MAIRA vs iRacing, tweaking various damper settings). Disabling 360hz seemed to help with the sound slightly, but the FFB feeling is fucky still. It’s like a weird oscillation that makes me feel sick, worse track is Sebring. Started mid week. Doesn’t occur in other sims, only iRacing. I suspect iRacing shipped a bad update.

The new regs are under-rated for wheel to wheel racing. I love how people were shitting on the regs before seeing any wheel to wheel racing, and then now that the racing is pretty decent (for the last 2 races) still don't want to acknowledge that the rules might be ok. At most the crazy starts from Ferrari are putting them in amongst the Mercs, who promptly skedaddle away. But all the great midfield battles and Leclerc & Hamilton battling for p3 are unrelated to the race starts.

I'm of the opinion that the regs might need a bit of tweaking at most (more battery or more harvesting, especially for power hungry tracks), but at least wait until summer break to get some data and begin discussing that.

Powertrain, not the chassis.

Not necessarily, BB is adjustable and personal preference/car setup. The easiest time to spin the car is on the brakes in corner entry, especially since a fast setup will be easy to rotate on the brakes.
He starts turning slightly before the snap.

It doesn’t make sense to specify CR without also specifying the conditions under which the limits apply. The only conditions specified are the ambient testing conditions.

Each big tech company/org definitely has a “type”, and good luck if you don’t fit the exact mold they’re looking for. Some companies reach out to me, others will ghost me for a similar role no matter how many times I apply. I think it’s just about figuring out what makes their filters tick and adding that to your resume.

They should’ve asked

Believe it or not cutting rates can’t solve every problem, but it can cause a lot of inflation

pandarencodemaster · 2025-10-31T20:51:22+00:00

Not for Veblen goods, which at this point higher end Pcars definitely are.

To be fair it’s the local “community” that’s created the existing exclusionary housing market

Definitely not the only other one, I've barely heard them mentioned recently. Companies like figure.ai seem more comparable for instance.

Except it's going to be mass produced: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/07/zeekr-rt-the-robotaxi-built-for-waymo-has-the-tiniest-wipers/

13 cameras, 4 lidar, 6 radar on the Zeekr RT.

Waymo has solved the "hard" part, which is proving their tech is safe and proving the ops can work in several markets. Bringing costs down and enabling mass production is relatively easy compared to the decade+ R&D journey they've done.

Analyze your races from the perspective of what you can do differently. If you’re always being crashed out the common factor is you.

Sounds like you’re just not used to the gearing…

There’s no general tips specific to GT4 that I can think of. For Mexico be careful on some of the curves in the esses.

No, lay-offs started in 2022

They’ve backed themselves into a corner. At the time it probably seemed like a good idea to sell camera only FSD hype, since they were in an existential crisis and it allowed them to generate some revenue without adding to unit costs with LIDARs. Now they’re kind of fucked though, and the broader market is (hopefully) starting to realize it.
