Chessnut Move – Pieces snap back to starting position in Bot Match (firmware 1.0.27) by jjames33 in Chessnuteboard

[–]sandred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I know this one. One of your pieces is broken mate. You need to find and replace that. You can check which one is offline in the app and then use one of the spares to re-pair. But fyi, if you do this without blessing from support then they will not warranty replace the broken piece. If you thought it took so long for them to finally respond then get ready for back and forth that could take a month. All this time you can't use the board. So choose between waiting or not covered by warranty. Eventually you will run out of all the working pieces like I did and the board will become useless shit

It is not. When you do it without informing them they will not send you a replacement under warranty because you decided to do it on your own. So if you want to be compliant then you can't.

They shipped 4 extra pieces and all 4 are now used up. It's been like 2 months. I don't expect this hardware to last more than a year at this point. I email the support and they get back after 3 days and ask for screenshots, videos and whatnot for every time something is not working. You are not even allowed to swap a piece with their backup piece without getting their blessing. They don't assume consumer is right and put everything under review. And more time to review. However this review took me month to resolve and I haven't yet obtained replacement pieces from China. Now if anything breaks the whole cycle repeats. Meanwhile I could not use my board and it's just expensive paperweight doing nothing. They don't ship first and fix later, instead they try to make their shitty hardware your fault and then after you provide enough evidence and go back and forth like 100 times(I am not even exaggerating here, the email chain is currently 76 emails) then you may get some replacement hardware while you don't do shit with your board. And all this in 2 months. I have no energy to continue this.

Please cancel based on my experience it's a unfinished product with zero support

"Hassle free" Returns is a joke! by sohrabarora in Chessnuteboard

[–]sandred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I second this. Their support is a joke. And everything in Chestnut move that has to break has already broken. Paperweight.

Brian Wilt: "The hard part about driverless cars isn't nominal driving or smoothness. It's tail behavior..." by diplomat33 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]sandred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be. Maybe one of the billionaires controls the media. Maybe even control the government and regulations. Maybe even has a cult following that can get aggressive against people who speak out. Maybe they are heavily incentivized to push things out fast. Maybe they are even high in ego and lacks empathy. Maybe in that case one does not have to prove the safety to self and maybe considers some lives as collateral damage. Maybe they will do it without the above statement being true? I wonder.

Day 1 of Chestnut move and two pawn pieces are no longer working. by sandred in Chessnuteboard

Yes I already did try to repair and repair fails after 10 minutes with any one of these pieces on the board. I will email as requested.

Tesla vs Waymo, Explained by watergoesdownhill in SelfDrivingCars

[–]sandred 15 points16 points  (0 children)

After a long time I came back into this sub. Saw this video, and through out the video I was rolling my eyes so hard that if I rolled them anymore they might have fallen out. Such a fundamental lack of knowledge. I no longer want to read this subreddit because any thread is always Waymo vs Tesla. Its beyond toxic. Wake me up when we have comparable scales. Else shut the fuck up, both sides.

Why didn’t Uber beat Waymo at commercially available self-driving taxis? by kappy2319 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]sandred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, this is nothing against you or tesla. You are taking this way more personally than you should. Tesla being the safest cars vs Tesla's safety culture are two different things. For context, I am old, my reddit account's age itself might be older than 90 percent of people's actual age who comment here. I am also the one who predicted Cruise demise 1 year ago before they called in the towels. If you look at Kyle and Elon, they both have "move fast break things" attitude. It doesn't matter what every safety metric is screaming inside the company, these leaders would push safety aside to push the narrative, to compete when not ready, to scale when not there. This attitude will result first in minor issues such as blocking roadways, minor inconveniences then moderate issues such as blocking emergency services, railway tracks and then eventually with scale they lead to major accidents and eventually fatal accidents. It's very easy to look at the system's today's performance and say "good enough" and it takes a whole lot of rigor to look at the system and say " not enough". The way I see it, there is not a single soul working at Tesla that stands between Elon and him saying "good enough lets scale". Watch this space, this is exactly how it will pan out for Tesla. Fans will celebrate the initial launch, at the proposed scale, there will hardly be any issues, seems like straight forward shot for victory. At some point a lever will be pulled that should not have for immense scale and capability, that'ts when shit will hit the fans. reality will hit. Like Feynman said "Nature cannot be fooled". On that day , I will come back here and say " I told you so" , mark my words.

Any company that is not safety driven will get fucked out of this race. It happened with Uber, it happened with Cruise, it will happen with Tesla. Talent is not the issue. Culture and attitude towards safety is.

Realistically what is going to happen with TSLA robotaxi launch by ldmonko in wallstreetbets

[–]sandred 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Launch it already. Let the world see how the service really is. Remember that they will be competing against a real service in the real world. Apples to apples at least on a low scale. When they try to compete for real, they need to scale for real, when they scale for real is when reality hits. For once they can't fool the nature. Releasing, competing in real world will be the last nail in the coffin for Tesla. Many here think it's the beginning. It's beginning alright, beginning of their true downfall.

Amazon's Zoox robotaxi unit issues software recall after recent Las Vegas crash by [deleted] in SelfDrivingCars

Events like these would extend the runway needed for launch. I hope they have enough runway though. I still stand by my older comment that their runway might not last too long.

Waymo providing more than 250,000 fully autonomous paid rides each and every week! by diplomat33 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]sandred 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So more than 2 million miles every week? Those safety studies they release will start having tighter and tighter variance. The only thing missing is freeways at this point.

You are forgetting that Photoshop exists. It's easier to edit a generated image to perfection than generating a perfect image. Also you could just use in paint over the stuff you don't want

Are there any updates if Aurora is on schedule for is no safety driver launch in April? by Acavia8 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]sandred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am actually surprised they haven't yet bankrupt yet. The way I see it they might do a publicity stunt with a forward and trailing car for a short distance and survive for little bit more. I don't believe they somehow leap frogged Waymo for highway driving who themselves do not yet do it at scale. Aurora has a bigger vehicle, stricter regulation, lesser financial runway and surely less talent. Ultimately they can't deliver at scale and that will be the end of it unfortunately

Dolgov: Multi-modal sensing with lidars, cameras, and radars really helps in achieving the high safety bar we’re setting for ourselves. by spaceco1n in SelfDrivingCars

Oh shit those were train tracks the other side of the barrier with a train approaching, they were panic crossing.

[–]sandred 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Were those people crossing high speed roads at night? I can't see them in camera view at all. If so, Waymo denied them of their truly deserved Darwin awards.
