2013-2025 and only 2 linked to FSD ? The rest are human errors ? FSD sounds better than human drivers just going by that data. How many people have, for example, BMW killed in 12 years ?

They are all "human errors" since FSD and Autopilot are supervised systems, which is why statistics like these can't be used to make claims like "FSD sounds better than human drivers". At best, you could claim that [Autopilot|FSD]+supervision is better than a human driver, but even then there a a huge number of other variables to consider, e.g.: 'human only engages FSD when they are confident it will handle situation safely'->'artificially high miles/crash for FSD'

The great thing about robotaxi is we’ll get the real data. There will be no hiding when one seriously crashes and eventually kills someone.

Then we’ll get facts about deaths per miles driven etc.

"FSD has detected the car is about to crash, please take over control"

I miss the ezines scene!

How much data do you have ? Isn't B2 expensive at certain size ?

For photos, it's kinda fine?

You can store 2TB for $14 per month; to fill that with photos you'd have to shoot 0.5GB/day for 10 years.

You can spend less - Google Drive and iCloud will offer 2TB for $10/month - but they don't really want power users who use their whole quota, so they don't make things like command line / API access easy.

Likewise Backblaze has an 'unlimited' backup option - but it's desktop mac-and-windows only, and it's selective about what it backs up - only 'user generated' files.

rclone works very, very well with Google Drive:

<goes to check notes...>

I have 850GB in B2 across all the backups I store there and I pay around 7$ a month. Any better price from any underdog provider? I'm definetely not going to pay 10EUR/month for Google One's 2TB.

I still need to check if I can optimize B2 costs by using different tiers (I mean, these are mainly disaster recovery backups so I dont care about fast copy times)

If your boss is not able to back you up for something like this, it's time to change job.

During the compensation calibration meetings, there is no boss in the world that would be able to argue anything to your benefit

This has to be the most depressing comment I've read this week. I assure you, not all places are like this. Especially mid-smalll, but even some pockets inside large-mega.

What company will promote you for rebooting your machine?

Maybe you’re not gonna get fired, but I can’t imagine someone hitting staff level because they spent a third of their week recovering from a weekly reboot

I can't believe the level of pushback we're getting on this point. Most of these people have probably never been in those meetings.

Person A: Not able to accomplish anything because security blocked essential... Person B: Shipped product F, look at this impact to our KPI. Saved costs by retiring service C. Mentored little jimothy.

Who get the base salary bump and bonus allocation in that scenario

If you think so you've only ever worked in a trash org. If my productivity was hurt by things outside my control I'd expect (and have had) managers to fight for me.

There are two critical conversations during this meetings:

Do we promote this guy? Do we fire this guy?

It doesn’t matter what the excuse is or the size of the company, if you don’t have impact for the next level you’re not promoted. Put simply, you’re not getting promoted rebooting your machine.

Maybe your boss can defend you from a conversation, especially if the problem is systematic (impacting the whole team).

It's also geeks and engineers using these models and being the most vocal. We always think we're special and need the extra horsepower. Ever been on one of those home lab subreddits ? Same story.

Tesla is still doing that. The CEO is a shithead but that's a different matter.

I can think of lots of people that would make society better if they would do that instead of what they are doing now.

Nah, it's just a small-scale form of wealth redistribution. The poster takes themselves out of the job market (making way for someone else), and then goes and spends their IPO money at a favourable exchange rate overseas. Literally everyone wins (versus the poster hoarding money and holding a lucrative job).

Sure. If everyone became software engineers then we'd have 8 billion IT staff and zero food production, which would lead to the extinction of human race by mass hunger.

I'm not sure what's exactly your point besides "if everyone does exactly the same thing, then society collapses".

I believe Apple had a TV series lately which proffered a solution to this.

You're not less cynical here

Progress towards what? Do you think "progress" as conceived by sillicon valley billionaires aligns with the type of life you would like?

There's a non-trivial chance "working hard" as defined by the modern ethos is doing more damage than good.

It’s not cynical, but it is overly consumerist.

I cannot imagine having untold amounts of money only to do nothing afterwards except consume the stuff put in front of you.

€2M isn't "unfold amounts of money"

It's enough for a modest retirement.

No shit. Do you really think this is an original comment to make?

I think you're doing it wrong. Use the frontier moddels for the research, planning etc and once you have a plan give it to a local model for implementation.

I think they're at that stage where people know they want it so lack of a trial isn't a deal breaker per se.

They use claude code to code it. Makes sense
