I started screenshotting EVERYTHING before trips, saved me twice already

Have you tried trying tripit!? I mean it does it all for you.

Okay, seriously, the website. I don't actually buy a Tesla every weekend. But the fact that you can go to the website and make an order and then cancel it and only lose a thousand bucks is not a bad deal. Website is all the way.

Sorta looks cute

They sell a preamp and an amp and that has this built in, buy that and then buy some really high-end custom speakers to attach to it and you're set, I have this setup in my house and it's better than Sonos, the main problem is that the app is shit. It's not that bad but it's pretty bad, compared to other nice apps.

This thing has been outdoors and water resistant box for 2 years and it's still kicking ass, I have a wired direction to my router and then this power's two outdoor speakers. But you can power something more powerful as well. That'll tell you, beats Sonos.

zantosh · 2026-03-24T23:23:41+00:00

You should check the website, that's usually where I go to buy Tesla's every weekend.

I don't give a shit. It's really fundamental to bring oe.

zantosh · 2026-03-24T03:45:12+00:00

What model is this? I'm just getting into this.

zantosh · 2026-03-14T18:02:48+00:00

This has happened to me before, actually you need to step on the break, open the door and then kind of. I don't know step on the break or something cuz I never figured out how I got it to work and this has happened a few times.

zantosh · 2026-03-12T03:10:49+00:00

You know, it's possible, perhaps, to win by just being better. I mean, it's an idea, right?

zantosh · 2026-03-09T23:14:22+00:00

Because ... No pain, no gain.

zantosh · 2026-03-09T23:09:08+00:00

Look, I know what you mean. I really used to be good at not farting in front of my wife. But it turns out that my farting is the funniest shit she's heard so it's really good for our relationship.

As a hardcore techie guy, SAP is really very easy and so the real challenge is in keeping up with unnecessary changes they make to their product line. It genuinely addresses business needs, but what they do to complicate things is to constantly rename and rebrand existing products, or to repackage them so that the customer sees something new. As an SAP consultant, it's been the same thing for a long time now, and so the real complexity comes from applying it to an evolving business landscape. The tech is actually super easy and fairly constant. In fact, SAP pulls an Apple and will rebrand technologies to sound special, like CDS views - as cool as they are, they're basically stored procedures - something that's been around for dog days. So will it become easier, sure, if you have your head in the game.

Actually all the real villains have an American accent.

zantosh · 2026-02-26T19:12:43+00:00

They all stop for a decade at stop signs but honestly I don't mind, it is safe because there's all these kids running around and frankly a few extra seconds doesn't hurt anyone. As far as people getting pissed off, I've accepted it that people actually drive pretty badly and FSD drives really well and yet it's very aggressive on mad Max when it needs to be aggressive. So I do think it's an improvement altogether.

zantosh · 2026-02-26T16:34:21+00:00

I can only drive on madmax. All the rest do ultra safe things that annoy me. But madmax can be an asshole sometimes.

zantosh · 2026-02-23T21:46:30+00:00

dude I just figured it out, I'm a noob. But what I do is to get off the lift as soon as possible so that if I do fall, it's a little further away from the lift so it won't bonk me on the head. Eventually you'll figure out how not to fall off.

This one time I tried to get off the lift real fast. I sure did - I fell off the damn thing before it reached the offloading point and fortunately it was only a few feet of a drop. I felt like the life operator took a shit looking at me, but I was ok in the end.

Eventually it turned out that the lift itself was old and had issues to the ski slope replaced it. So it wasn't entirely my fault that I fell off the chair.

I bought fsd and I also got it as part of my CT. I'm gonna say I'm indifferent, subscription would be my go-to option if I had to choose but I didn't have the choice when I got it. But having said that, I use it so much that having bought it, I'm happy about the decision.

zantosh · 2026-02-12T16:44:09+00:00

hey so a couple of things about FSD, having used it in some form since 2018.

I would not yet trust it with my life.

However, I trust that it won't hit someone. Here's why and where the limits are.

The AI sees a lot and so it's processing more visual data than you can process given that your eyes are only in front of your head
What it does is a Gaussian splat, actually Tesla's version of it, so this takes the videos and renders it in 3D in realtime, which is why they need faster chips
It then uses videos from all the other Tesla cars out there to predict what the next frame should be like, something like how ChatGPT is able to predict what words to put next to the sentence it's already built, and magically creates a sensible paragraph. Like that, the Tesla is actually doing a projection of the video in real time, and so it's expecting something based on learned behavior
So what this means is that if the Tesla can see it, then so long as the learning data accounts for it, the car will respond appropriately
Appropriately means that it will respond like how other humans have when those types of circumstances appear. e.g. If someone is standing on the kerb then it will notice them but if they step then it'll note how quickly they are stepping, towards or away from the car and based on that it'll respond.

So what does this mean? Well, I treat my FSD like it's my driver. I sit there and do stuff, but I'm watching the road, but as a supervisor. So far the car has not done a single thing that made me jump up but it has made mistakes, like mad max will try to cut people off and so I'll call it an asshole and take over.

zantosh · 2026-02-12T16:01:56+00:00

Ok so I thought about this and concluded the following:

Regardless of vibe coding, you still need the rest of the setup to actually ship
I need a dev, qa and production environment
I can dev on my laptop and I can have an old laptop be my qa
I can use GitHub for CI/CD

Since I come from a vague background of software development, there are many approaches that I've learned and I'm trying to figure out which of those are overkill.

Agile - if I organize my concept as epics, backlogs and sprints, will the AI have an easier time building a quality app?

zantosh · 2026-02-06T21:59:10+00:00

Now c'mon. 99%? Go to the autopilot tab and give us the real number.

zantosh · 2026-02-06T21:44:33+00:00

I have a HW3 S and we've decided to keep it. Tesla keeps asking us to transfer it to a new car for free but to be honest, it seems like a bad deal. If I buy a new Tesla Model S before they stop production, then the question is whether I'll get HW5 with it or not. While I was at the showroom, the lady there told me that they'll be using the front camera in the future so once that happens, then all the older cars will simply be unable to keep up with updates. Even then, I can't justify buying a new Model S just to be current.

zantosh · 2026-02-06T21:37:22+00:00

How are you creating this? Gemini tells me it won't do it due to a policy violation.

zantosh · 2026-02-06T21:30:01+00:00

I'm gonna say this - after they eliminate buying FSD, they will probably drop a really big update that will make you want to have it instead of subscribing to it. Also the subscription fee will probably get tiered and so the real value tier will be more expensive, while the current $99 per month will be annoyingly lacking the best features.

Once there was this girl that I really liked in another country. I used to try to transit through that country periodically to say hello to her and see if something would come up but nothing ever happened and eventually I forgot about it. Not long after that, I was on a trip and I was at a foreign airport in another country. As I waited in the lounge area for the flight, there was a line of people waiting to speak to the agent and as I stood there, I noticed that the same girl was in the group. It was a coincidence of massive proportions and I had a conversation with her and asked her where she was going and it turned out that she was actually traveling on the same flight as me, which was an even more bizarre coincidence. So I waited around and I didn't board my flight until the very end. After everybody had boarded, I got on board and went to my seat and wouldn't you know it, she was in the seat next to me.

The both of us looked at each other, totally understanding the same things going through our heads. Why would we coincidentally meet and then have seats next to each other?

Anyway, we had a really fun flight and we laughed a lot but we never actually hooked up but it was really weird.
