From watching youtube videos I got the impression that the Ford 'Blue Cruise' does not require the hands to be on the wheel.

I haven't used the Ford system but I have used the Tesla system and it requires you to move the wheel at a pretty annoyingly and regular frequency to remain in autopilot mode. I believe the cabin camera can also detect when you are on your phone or looking away - but i'm not sure if this is rolled out to non-FSD cars.

I think the frequency that you have to prove you are paying attention is about every 30 seconds

Here are some quotes from the article for you. The concern is not that she cares about safety, but that she is very strongly biased against Tesla and has a financial interest in promoting other companies.

"The same goes for her stance regarding CEO Elon Musk. In March 2020, for example, Dr. Cummings seemingly joked about needing someone to stop her from punching Elon Musk in the face. "

"It should be noted that Dr. Cummings’ seat at Veoneer was not disclosed when she published a paper (which was later updated to remove inaccurate details about a fatal Tesla crash) criticizing systems such as Autopilot for their possible dangers. And so far, the incoming NHTSA senior safety adviser has not shared if she would be leaving her post at the Swedish LIDAR company, especially since she would soon be advising a US safety agency on driver-assist systems that adopt both LIDAR and non-LIDAR solutions. "

"Missy Cummings receives around $400,000 worth of stock in Swedish LIDAR company Veoneer per year as compensation for her role as a non-employee member of the board."

I think all the crashes involved in this investigation would have been radar. The vision only is really 2022+ year model cars (and possibly some late 2021).

This investigation is on Autopilot, not the FSD Beta.

I think we are all fortunate that teslarati.com is not a government agency :D

I've always been bad at math but isn't 4TB for $400 approximately $0.10/GB ?

As another commenter mentioned EBS is quite a bit better than just a SSD in a number of ways. You can resize it, it has published resiliency numbers, quick and easy snapshots, etc etc

Also worth noting that the newest generation (GP3) is 0.08/GB/Month although like all things Amazon there are other charges to take into account.

Election fraud should be concerning to everyone, not just conservatives.

I'm also not sure what you are stating is racist conspiracy nonsense - I only see one comment from OP at the moment.

That would probably be Tesla? I suppose it depends on your definition of repair-ability. Telsa has a high degree of parts compatibility and seems able to keep even the older 2012 era Model S repaired.

There are a lot of high mileage Teslas out there. Most of Tesla's negative reputation seems to be people complaining about fit and finish (paint, panel gaps). The actual mechanical reliability seems to be quite higher than a normal ICE car. However EVs are still pretty new so long term data is still being collected.

yeah gotta agree. I suspect it is software version dependent - the most negative comments here always seem to be from folks who don't own teslas - whereas people who do seem to be mostly saying that the issue is getting better not worse.

Tesla topics seem worse than political topics on HN for triggering blind rage

Neat idea however air filter changes would be extremely expensive as its about 5x the air filters of a conventional purifier - which already seem to cost around 50-100 dollars to replace.

If you are on AWS you should check out ECS Fargate (serverless). It is really really good. Probably one of their more polished products.

If you want to stay on the Kubernetes route check out k3s. Super easy to setup and usable for small production workloads

As far as I can tell from doing years of contracting for non-FANG mid to large size companies -- they basically do their best to copy whatever trends they see coming out of FANG. There is no thought behind it.

Kubernetes and 'DEVOPS' are the new hotness at non-FANG companies as they are always 5-10 years behind the trends. Expect to see more of it before it goes out of fashion.

Also DevOps is just a title. Nobody read the book, nobody is trying to create what the original guy at Google or whatever had in mind. It is just a all encompassing job doing the same activities that the sysadmin used to do. HR tells companies that they should rename their sysadmin departments to DevOps departments and everything else continues as normal.

yeah i'm remembering why I got into his channel now - he had a lot of content on his minimalist philosophy that I found interesting.

The whole 'techlead' thing did always seem like a joke, he was definitely either making fun of himself, or making fun of the prestige of working for the big tech companies.

I haven't watched any of his recent videos but it seems like he has shifted focus to just making $$. Maybe he should have tried to hold onto a tech job :D
