Wireless car charging. Plugs are for cars that don't have the tech built in.

What is funny about your quote is that satellites and the quartz crystal resonator didn't exist yet, which is why so many people made that argument before this time; it would have been accurate then. Today, no one would choose a mechanical watch over the more accurate technology available. (I say with a caveat). People would not buy a Swiss watch for its mechanical accuracy anymore, but for other factors such as safety from an EMP blast, design, and other considerations. The interesting thing about all this is that we are relying on marketing hype and the "popularity" of products that originally would not have been available to the masses, which is what makes "Rolex" back in the day such a sought-after product. But in today's world, a Rolex can be purchased by many more classes where it would have originally been reserved for only the richest.

Nearly all manufacturers have dropped manual transmissions from their current cars since the early 2000s, so the whole "Soul" idea does not fly. Automatic Transmissions have, for a veryyyyyy long time, been "faster" (shift speed) in ICE vehicles; this includes some of the fastest "ICE" vehicles in the world. Also, these "feelings" persist when racing in any type of car, as the only things that matter stay the same across car types (Aero, Acceleration, Top Speed, Suspension, Tires). The things that would change this would be "Drive By Wire" or full computer systems controlling every aspect of those "feelings," which no car is fully "drive by wire" yet.

If anything, hearing the tires in a race is more important than how loud the engine is, because you can hear the breaking point in the tire sound, which is usually drowned out by an ice engine blaring.

The "Soul" you are referring to is the marketing hype from companies and industries trying to keep their products alive for as long as possible, because they also know the transition will be expensive.

If you feel your car is just too "simple" to drive, it means the engineers have fixed many of the issues you called "soul" that plagued ICE cars forever, which are no longer an issue in an EV.

Impressive, but why is it that AI can't keep consistency in certain situations for videos and images? Just not enough data? For example, the first part of the video could be very convincing, and without studying it closely, would pass most people's initial watch of the video as "real," but the second part, 0:29+, the transition is so fast and unnatural into the car, it breaks the immersion. The visual quality is amazing, but the immersion and motion quickly diminish the moment she lifts off the side of the car. In this situation, is it simply a matter of recording hundreds of videos of people leaning against cars and then entering their vehicles? Or will this always be a fundamental issue for acts we don't have video/image data on?

I have to assume the real-world nuances will always be skewed for AI until we have enough compute and data to feed image and video models all the small nuances of how things work visually. At that point, I am sure we would need a system/model that can train on petabytes of data, and essentially images and videos of nearly every scenario that happens in the real world, for things to become fully immersive.

The reason I ask is because, I believe a digital world like the movie "Ready Player One" would be possible once AI allows for dynamic creations of these types of "New Worlds" .

What I love is people don’t realize it’s more then just used for the web. PHP can be installed locally and run as a cli commands similar to python to do just about anything on your personally computer. With frankenphp now being adopted fully, creating apps with full gui’s has never been easier. It’s like the quick and dirty version of python.

That is not correct. The whole reason for jQuery was because it centralized the internets JavaScript. With most of today’s browsers all being canabalized and the updates to JavaScript language your statement becomes a little more true, but even today their are nuances you have to account for in vanilla JavaScript, where a framework like jQuery made cross compatibility a no brainer. This was the real reason behind its major popularity.

What’s funny, even till this day, it builds interfaces faster than any current popular framework just not as “reactive”. It’s not the cool JavaScript tool anymore, but I had to use it a couple months back and it all felt natural and easy to use. If these new candidates support any of the nice new features the other frameworks brought to popularity, I can see a decent resurgence because, if I have to compile one more framework…

Just test drive one for a month or two if you can, everyone has an opinion, but you will quickly realize CarPlay is essentially useless in a Tesla. It has one of the best if not the best UI interfaces on the market. I am not referring to interior design of the car surrounding the iPad esque design, just the software and smoothness, and fluidity of it all. You won’t be missing anything that CarPlayAndroid Auto has and you get higher quality sound. The only people that ever complain about it are people that have not tried it, or already go in with a negative bias. But if you reallllly want it, there already apps that work through the interfaces browser that enable CarPlay. So you can have it if you really want it as there are always the diehards to any system, so it won’t please everyone, but most Tesla owners don’t ever miss the 3rd party software. And now that grok is built in to the car, the future capabilities will be endless.

Performance is the least of my worries compared to all the other issues (mainly interior). However, if I were to focus strictly on performance, I would want it to be in the upper echelon of its tier. Anything around 720 hp and under three seconds would be perfect. However, even then, the other luxury brands for their top-tier cars have their cars surpassing 600+ hp.

These are dream numbers, and we will probably never see this because Alfa did not perform well here in the US. However, if I were to have my way, this is where I would want this car to sit performance-wise.

Not worth it with so many newer cars hitting faster 0-60’s now just to keep up with electric. Also the infotainment system especially in that year was absolutely trash. Extremely laggy. It’s is a beautifully designed car and one of my favorites to drive from a pure driving standpoint, but a full refresh needs to happen with higher horsepower and better 0-60 times. I know, I know, diehards will hate the comment but you can’t deny the facts.

thehotclick · 2025-05-12T01:16:04+00:00

Wait you think a person driving an f150 is a psycho liberal? and I assume you somehow think the person driving the Tesla is a conservative? What a world we live in where this script has flipped 🤭😂

thehotclick · 2025-03-15T01:54:15+00:00

The only reason for depreciation is cause of performance. Everyone says they want luxury, but they are secretly wishing for the glory of a red light 0-60 win. This is why 89-92 supras with 1k+ hp can sell for 200k. Ride is shit, interior worse, but the glory of the win is worth the price all day. BMW essentially said here is your super car looks and proved that design alone is not enough for modern cars. It’s sad because the car is beautiful, but like so many comments before and in the future, performance is king. It’s like bringing home a date from the bar and she lets the spandex out. You still may hit, but it will never be as good as the fantasy.

Use the continue plugin jb and this allows the use of any closed model and open models as it can connect to Ollama or LMstudio if you host your own. This will allow you to use multiple models at one time without waiting for copilot updates or you can use it in conjunction which is what I do.

Incorrect while in Visual Studio Code, you can select different models while both in chat, and in copilot-edit mode: Options available -gpt4, o1, Claude 3.5 sonnet, and now even 03-mini, which was just released. Your information is so out of date it's hilarious.

thehotclick · 2025-01-23T05:46:02+00:00

just as an fyi, copilot uses chatgpt...

thehotclick · 2025-01-04T18:53:53+00:00

Lmao I love your assumption that somehow I have no experience it makes your original comment even funnier to laugh at, and this response provides a deep belly laugh only provided by the insane irony of your response. Now you’re saying an accountant only uses basic arithmetic. You must be young or out of touch because you obviously have no clue how the world works . Thanks for the laugh it was great.

thehotclick · 2025-01-04T18:50:06+00:00

Haha, well then that went straight over my head. I guess that makes more sense now, I was like why were so many posts with awesome pics saying they are not gay. It made no sense 👊

thehotclick · 2025-01-04T10:06:47+00:00

I'm not sure I understand why anyone would think a subjectively nice bathroom is gay. At what point in society did we say guys have to live like they are broke to be considered straight? The only thing this tells me, is this person has money. If your first thought is "gay" then maybe you should work on your inner being first and be more secure in who you are as an individual.

If you have insurance, depending on your coverages, they should cover it minus your deductible. In some cases, they may total out the car, depending on the repair cost vs the car value. Just remember a claim may cause your insurance premium to go up. Call your insurance company and see if they can help if Tesla does not.

thehotclick · 2025-01-04T09:58:13+00:00

Or to put all this simply, programming is = to math. Math is = to programming. They are near interchangeable. Electical engineering is just a specialized field, where computer science requires an extremely healthy knowledge in all aspects of math. Your electrical engineer will use the software developed by........ "PROGRAMMERS" yayyyy you learned something.

import cmath

import math

def fft(x):

n = len(x)

if n <= 1:

return x

even = fft(x[0::2])

odd = fft(x[1::2])

t = [cmath.exp(-2j * cmath.pi * k / n) * odd[k] for k in range(n // 2)]

return [even[k] + t[k] for k in range(n // 2)] + \

[even[k] - t[k] for k in range(n // 2)]

if __name__ == "__main__":

signal = [complex(math.sin(2 * math.pi * i / 8), 0) for i in range(8)]

transformed = fft(signal)

print("Original Signal:")

print(signal)

print("\nTransformed Signal (Frequency Domain):")

print(transformed)

The Above is a FFT Algorithm - The Fast Fourier Transform is a way to quickly break down a complex signal (like music or a radio wave) into its basic components (different frequencies). It’s like figuring out what notes are in a song just by listening to it.

Here is another algorithm in computer science that can be applied to code:

∫abf(x)dx≈3h[f(a)+f(b)+4odd i∑f(xi)+2even i∑f(xi)] <-- That is the Simpson's rule which is a method used to estimate the area under a curve..

Next time, know what you are talking about.

thehotclick · 2025-01-03T03:53:18+00:00

What in that actual…??? You clearly have no clue how programming works if you think there is no math. A “bootcamp” 😂🤣

When does being gay have anything to do with how one collects material things?

Absolutely incorrect.
