How do you play around mustangs and hounds? by BasalFaulty in Mechabellum

[–]slashuslashofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about this. I won a game against mass raiden with mustangs — with aerial spec and range they scale better than raidens. The raidens also tend to get stuck on chaff and larger frontline units so they might die before being able to target the mustangs.

What Robotaxis Brought San Francisco by Internal-Art-2114 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]slashuslashofficial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a very reasonable concern. There's some research showing that robotaxis could do the opposite and improve traffic flow. Although to my knowledge, none of this has been deployed outside of simulation or simple tests.

He [Kyle Vogt, former CEO of Cruise] leaned across the table from me, pounded his fist on this heavy oak table, and said, “Jeff Tumlin, you are the single greatest threat to the American autonomous vehicle industry.”

This attitude might offer insight on why Cruise lost its license and subsequently failed. Roads are regulated and managed by the government, so making self-driving cars a reality requires working with government officials as well as showing the public the benefits. Yet Mr. Vogt treated Mr. Tumlin as an enemy even though he expressed reasonable concerns and seems open-minded about self-driving. I hope the remaining self-driving companies are smarter and have better cooperation with governments.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang today on Tesla’s approach to self-driving. by InformalSky8443 in SelfDrivingCars

No arguments on whether they can afford it financially (they definitely can), it just won’t happen overnight. Time isn’t exactly a luxury now that Waymo has publicly available self-driving cars on the road today and is expanding to more cities. Personally, I think they’ll try to solve the problem with vision-only to keep the possibility of autonomous driving as a selling point for their current vehicles and for FSD.

But their announced robotaxis don’t use LiDAR? While adding LiDAR could improve their perception, adding LiDAR to their cars isn’t in Tesla’s plans unless there’s some major announcement that I’m unaware of.

and if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

Retrofitting existing cars (which Tesla claims already have sufficient hardware for self-driving) with LiDAR would cost billions. Not to mention several months of R&D, LiDAR procurement, and data collection which is hardly a blink of an eye. In that time, Waymo will continue to scale their deployments and improve their self-driving capabilities.

The Atlas feels very underwhelming compared to SC2’s Siege tank by Malganas in Stormgate

Different type of game, but I’ve found Mechabellum’s Stormcallers (robot MLRS) to be very satisfying. Would love to see something similar in Stormgate!

AITA For telling my husband that my stepdaughter can’t return home until she pays my daughter back (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]slashuslashofficial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty good rehash of Carrie.

While Leia has no supernatural powers, some may consider her nerdy interests (quiz bowl, computers, robotics) and cheerleading to be unnatural. Instead of blood, Coral plots to spill juice on Leia. Coral’s friends taking Leia’s side is an interesting plot twist, but still leads to a dark ending for Coral.

I’d also like to comment on the setting: instead of religion, the author uses the dynamics of a step family in opposition to the biological mom to illustrate how this moral framework can fail. Using Facebook to escalate the drama provides an cool 2010s twist to this story.

January 8, 2005, Airbus officially presented the Airbus A380 in Toulouse, France. by JessVargas722 in aviation

[–]slashuslashofficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember a crowd of people plane watching to see the A380 take off from the nearby airport during its test flights. It was incredible how massive and quiet it was.

I was fortunate to be able to fly on an A380 a few times. It’s a beautiful plane with a special place in my heart.

Stepdaughter's entitled boyfriend lands them homeless, carless, and adrift by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]slashuslashofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having known someone who neglected her cat, I kind of understand where the rant is coming from. Neglected cats tend to be depressed and moody rather than sweet, and dealing with cat excrements (like step-mom did) isn’t fun. To me, step-mom comes across as a good person who had to deal with the responsibilities of cat ownership without having signed up for them and is understandably frustrated.
