It's a relay, not a solo marathon.
You (I) carried the baton through the heat
Passed it on

Anil Dash (@anildash.com):
Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he's teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those "we don't need a 'Rogan of the left', we need normal men" examples.
Tim Onion (@bencollins.bsky.social):
Genuinely had no idea tesla tech was this dumb. Jesus.
Lex (@lexou.bsky.social):
It used to use lidar like every other auto driving car but then musk realized it's cheaper to use the image processing and just pay the court costs of the lawsuits he generates
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
You're incorrect. Teslas have never had lidar. They had a forward facing radar.
Palesfenian 🇮🇪❤️🇺🇦🇵🇸 (@clawful1.bsky.social):
You're correct. But it's basically the same issue.
This was a solved problem and Elon is cheap.
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
It's a false premise in a ridiculous scenario that falls apart when you pull on any string
Robyn Kolozsvari (@rkolozsvari.bsky.social):
the wall wasn't the only scenario tested, fyi. heavy fog and heavy rain also were tested, and the Tesla failed both. and those are absolutely conditions that exist in the real world. (the Lidar vehicle did great in both, to be clear).
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
Kids are often playing in the middle of the highway in dense fog?
Robyn Kolozsvari (@rkolozsvari.bsky.social):
childred (or adults) might well walk across the road in dense fog or heavy rain. you don't need to be hanging out to get hit.
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
Yes, but this is a test of highway safety systems. Are kids playing in heavy rain on 40mph roads?
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
Kids might not be. But a tree or a telephone pole could have fallen over. People aren't the only potential things on the road, but also like, it's not weird to take into consideration stuff like "what if someone is crossing the road in a heavy downpour at a crosswalk and they can't see you either?"
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
A person would likely just drive into them, but...shouldn't a self-driving car be better than that?
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
Yes, it should be, and if this wasn't a spontaneous torrential downpour that appeared out of nowhere 50 feet in front of the car already traveling at speed, the car would have alerted the driver to the poor conditions well before reaching a dangerous scenario.
David Avallone (@davallone.bsky.social):
Watching you spin yourself dizzy to explain your nauseating techno-worship, as you're ratioed to oblivion, is comical.
Elon wouldn't do this for you, Brian. He considers you acceptable collateral damage, and you volunteer as tribute.
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
I don't care about Elon, David. I'm saying this technology can save lives. 40,000+ lives a year. And it's being lambasted by clickbait videos and half-truths. Saving a child running after a ball in a tornado is not the scenario causing these deaths. Basic distracted human drivers are.
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
...I think you might want to actually watch the video. Because the argument isn't that emergency braking and self-driving are bad.
The argument is that camera only systems aren't good enough and that lidar covers the bases much better and helps in situations humans can't handle.
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
To what end? You can't go out and buy that lidar vehicle right now. So it's just trying to dunk on life-saving driver assistance technology that not perfect.
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
So...you...don't want people to know about the limitations of Tesla's self-driving technology? It's a cool technology, yeah, but it's incredibly irresponsible to downplay actual limitations and issues with it. Like, ridiculously irresponsible.
Plus, you know, the lidar will be available.
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
Camera only tech isn't the only option available ever, telling people that a better, proven tech is going to be coming along and to be careful with Tesla's stuff since it's not really fully featured yet is pretty reasonable, IMO.
Zendervai (@zendervai.bsky.social):
Because, ultimately, what the video is telling people is that you need to be careful with Tesla's self-driving and driver assistance technology because it has limitations in situations where it's difficult to see anything.
This is completely true.
Why is that a bad thing to talk about?
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
I'm saying under normal driving conditions when your car is not getting attacked by rogue firehoses and fog machines and Looney Tunes characters, you're safer with Tesla driver assistance features helping
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I've seen videos of people dying in lithium battery fires.
I've seen videos of Tesla "driver assistance features" interpreting a train as automobile traffic, and never seeing the child proxy in the crosswalk even as it mows the child proxy down. Invisible motorcycles.
Please. Please. Please. Pleas
Brian C Wilson (@bcwilson.bsky.social):
Electric vehicles are much less likely to catch fire than gas vehicles

Girls. Hear me out.
Women can wear jeans, it's true
But have you considered
That they sort of suck?
They're stiff and uncomfortable.
Shed the leg prisons until you're sure you're making an informed choice to wear them
(@chunderstruck.bsky.social):
This sounds like thinly veild Christian propaganda trying to convince women they shouldn't wear pants...
Typewriter Monke (@tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social):
It's actually thinly veiled satanic propaganda trying to make trans girls break through their attachment to unisex clothing as a safety net :)
(@chunderstruck.bsky.social):
If you sound like the Christians, there's probably a better way to get your message across. They are some of the most evil, corrupt people on the planet.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
sir, this is a cluster of transgender women, trans femmes, futch-to-femme lesbiennes, and drag queens celebrating our freedom (while it frickin lasts) to wear the clothes we wish. Your quarrel is else frickin where. Seek it. Now.

Dr. Katja Thieme (she/they) (@katjathieme.bsky.social):
"In contrast, Dr. Cantor appeared to cite the Littman study as definitive evidence to support his views notwithstanding that it is not the type of study that would rate highly on his pyramid of evidence."
OUCH.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
… the Littman "ROGD" paper withdrawn by its publisher after being shredded by critics for being obvious source hacking —?

The average surface temperature of Mars is -68°C.

Random thought
I know how much effort goes into crocheting a blanket.
I still see them wind up in thrift stores, priced $3-$5, last stop before being sent to a recycling plant or a landfill.
The history of America's unregarded cottage textile tradition,is obscurity and oblivion
Tailor Maede (@tailormaede.bsky.social):
As a tailor I struggle so much with this concept on a real level of insanity.
Client: $500 for a dress is a lot!
Me: Project Runway designers get $500 for just fabric for one dress. Bespoke garments are expensive if you pay the tailor a living wage.
Client: Can you cut me a deal?
Me: 🤬

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
