As you probably already understood, AI will be everywhere, it is inevitable.

I’ll stop you right there. It is not inevitable. Here’s the problem: These “AI” models are absurdly expensive to train and use. Right now, the ai companies are charging fractions of their actual cost in order to hook people. The problem is that it’s not sustainable. At some point soon, they’re going to have to raise their rates by an order of magnitude in order to break even, much less profit and repay the huge sums due to their investors. When that happens, do you really think it will still be in every camera? It is a technology that will absolutely exist after the inevitable collapse of the industry, but it won’t devour the world or any of that nonsense. After, it’s just a fancy probability machine.

Yeah, I think we all agree here that we should never have gotten to this spot. Hype be hypin'. I'm just predicting what the ramifications will be, but I also realize that I'm preaching to the choir in fuck_ai. I tell normies this and they look at me like I'm utterly batshit. They've been absolutely convinced that Oz is real.

I believe piefed support in Voyager is very experimental at this point, so it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that there are issues.

Fixed it myself, saved $$$ (sh.itjust.works)
 

This might be too exciting for this community, so trigger warning.

Last weekend I backed out of my garage haphazardly, and hit the side mirror on the garage frame. It bent the whole mirror forward and, even with my full body weight, would not go back into place. I took my car to a body shop and they said they would have to take the whole door apart and install a new mirror. Total estimate: $3900.

Figuring I had nothing to lose, I watched a YouTube video on how to take the mirror unit apart, which I did. I found the impingement that was blocking its movement, and pounded it with a flathead screwdriver and hammer until it popped back. Put the mirror housing back together, works good as new! Only one extra screw when I was done. I think I’ll get the large fries to reward myself.

"With all due respect" is a double-insult. (sh.itjust.works)
 

When someone says "With all due respect...", they'll inevitably follow it with an insult. In that case, the person is therefore also implying that the recipient is due NO respect since they're insulting them. Boom, double-roast. Maybe obvious, but apparently not to me... with all due respect to me.

Tesla bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners won't get Autosteer feature they paid for (electrek.co)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.today/post/28973805

Tesla has confirmed its latest bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners will not get the Autosteer feature they paid for.

Instead, they will get a year of ‘Supervised Full Self-Driving’.

When Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in late 2023, the software was incomplete, especially regarding its Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) features like ‘Supervised (FSD) Full Self-Driving’, which was included in the price of all early Cybertrucks.

It took Tesla almost a year to start releasing its FSD on the Cybertruck.

After Tesla stopped making new Cybertruck Foundation Series, which are fully loaded with all options, buyers started to have the option of buying the $8,000 FSD package or keeping only the Autopilot package, which is included in the price.

Autopilot’s two main features are Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. The first is self-explanatory, while Autosteer is Tesla’s name for active lane keeping.

The vast majority of Tesla vehicle owners don’t buy the FSD package.

As of now, 16 months after Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck, the automaker has yet to deliver Autosteer on the electric pickup truck.

Today, Tesla started reaching out to Cybertruck owners to let them know that it won’t make Autosteer available for Cybertruck owners who haven’t bought FSD:

“As we improve our Autopilot technology, our feature sets will change. Accordingly, Autosteer will not be available for Cybertruck outside of Full Self-Driving (Supervised).“

Instead, Tesla offers a year of free FSD trial to Cybertruck owners.

More details in the article.

My favorite part is how they're now saying both "full self-driving' and "supervised".

What's your current petty obsession? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ll start: my ear wax. Several months ago, I observed what I thought to be extra wax coming out of my ears. Since then, I can’t stop trying to keep my ears clean. Wash in the shower with soap every day. Stick my finger in there when nobody’s looking to try to get some out. And so on.

I don’t use q-tips, and I know the advice is to simply let it come out when it wants. But I hate cleaning the gunk off my AirPods! Stupid ear wax, I think I feel some now.

App idea: RSS reader with built-in comments/replies (sh.itjust.works)
 

Like many, I prefer subscribing to RSS feeds instead of being force-fed by an algorithm. However, sometimes I wish I could comment and/or chat with others about the contents of specific articles in the feed.

I know it's possible to post a link to the article in a link aggregator like Lemmy and have a discussion, but that takes effort to post links and not every article in a feed would be submitted. It also doesn't curate the discussion to only the feeds a user is interested in.

So, my idea is that in a feed, tapping/clicking on the article would show comments people have left and allow the reader to make their own comments/replies. The comments could also be available in a read-only state via api or their own RSS feed, so authors could easily embed them.

I did a little searching and couldn't find anything like this. If this seems useful to anybody else, I think I'd like to write it. So... thoughts?
