It's like Logan's Run, but with less murder! https://pie.gd/i/1812146ujm2.jpg https://pie.gd/i/181214ght4e.jpg https://pie.gd/i/181214sxyhd.jpg

> ...the battery life isn't very long so I'm often running out of battery and waiting for them to charge back up... Hmm. Do you not keep them in the charging case between uses? Or do you just use them a lot? Mine are fine for several hours of …

That looks amazing! You should get your wife on Cake to talk about her cakes. I know people who'd be interested. Including me. 😋 Welcome to Cake, btw!

The thing I always wonder is how good could these companies have been if they had brilliant leaders who weren't assholes? Sure, companies like Apple and Tesla have achieved great things while being led by assholes. But it seems likely that this …

That was an amazing article. Elon seems like a very troubled and slightly toxic guy. More than anything else, it sounds like he needs a therapist; someone he can confide in who will help him deal with his mental health issues. And it would …

I am completely and utterly flattered that something I said reminded you of Jean-Luc Picard! He's one of the greatest role models in all of fiction. 😄

I think the intent of the image is to emphasize the phrase "culture, not costume" — it's saying that the sari, the cornrows, and the headdress are all parts of someone's culture, not just costumes that anyone can wear.

> Unfortunately, I don't know what would be the way counter it at scale. One thing I struggle with all the time is that when I see misinformation being spread, I want to correct it. But I don't want to be that guy who pops up in people's mentions …

Yep, @cake is our official Twitter account, and @PJ is right about how it became ours. We don't tweet as much as we probably should, but hopefully that'll change soon! 😉

Welcome to Cake, @Victoria! We're all super excited to work with you. 😄

Yeah, I think it’s important to remember that “soon” in Elon time can mean anything from “one week” to “ten years”. In this case my money’s on the latter. 😉 Traffic lights, stop signs, and roundabouts all seem achievable reasonably soon, but I …

Amazing! Thanks for doing that research. I've always thought Mark Twain said that too. I think I like the original Jonathan Swift quote even more.

Interesting. That does look pretty dim, but I'm not sure if that would be attributable to the polarizing filter or the image sensor. The C2 Pro is the only dash cam I've owned so I don't have much to compare it to. Image quality seems good and the …

It's a Roav C2 Pro. https://www.amazon.com/Roav-Wide-Angle-Dedicated-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B075QBPJ96

Once you take over, you're in full control. The car won't override you, with one exception — if an impact is imminent (as in completely unavoidable), the car has a feature called automatic emergency braking which will engage the brakes to attempt …

Twitter magnifies and rewards strong emotions. If we envision Twitter as a game, its primary mechanic is this: in 280 characters or fewer, engage the emotions of the reader strongly enough that they either like or retweet your tweet. Humor …

Yeah, this is a classic self-driving car conundrum. If the car knows an impact is unavoidable but it has a choice between killing its occupants or killing someone else, would it (and should it) choose to protect its occupants? Should it sacrifice …

> Interesting. So you are having to put effort in it and focus & pay attention since you never are 100% certain what it'll do except for very clear scenarios. Oh yeah, I definitely still have to pay attention. Autopilot isn't full self-driving …

> so what would your car have done...IF...the car in front pulled in your lane suddenly, there was no room to brake, car behind too close, another to the right and left too close...wonder what its defensive move would be? I hope I never find out. …

If the other car hadn't signaled but had otherwise done exactly what it did, I don't think my car would have done anything. But if the other car, without signaling, had been on a collision course or had darted in front of me, my car would have hit …

It seems obvious to a human, but to a computer it's actually a surprisingly hard problem! For my car to understand that another car with its turn signal on may be about to move into my lane, it had to know a ton of things: - What a turn signal …

Very cool! I've never actually visited New York City, but I feel like in some ways I know it even better than cities I've lived in just because I've seen so many movies and TV shows set there. It seems like living there would be a little surreal …

Speaking of self-driving cars, yesterday my Tesla Model 3 did something smart that I didn't know it could do! I wrote about it and shared a dashcam video …

Last night while I was driving on Autopilot, a car ahead of me in the left lane braked and turned on its blinker as if it might change into my lane. Autopilot immediately began to slow down to let the other car in, even though that car never …
