It really depends on the kind of buses I think.

I did a lot of traveling in South America and it was a great way to see different countries. A lot of the buses were pretty luxurious with 180 degree reclining seats, meals and bus attendants to give your blankets and things. You could rest comfortably during the night trips. I also met some interesting people along the way. Some trips were horrible too, but at least I have the stories.

I probably wouldn’t do it in the US. Don’t know about other countries.

Can you actually extend the trip and stay at some hotels/hostels or something along the way? If the buses are comfortable, and you have the time and budget, i think it would be great to visit three different countries, enjoy the foods and sites, meet people along the way, and have that time by yourself to do whatever you want.

Love takes many forms. Caring for someone without the expectation of a benefit you want is a form of love. If my wife came down with MS and we could no longer have sex, I would still love her, respect her and admire the mother and life partner that she is. I would also be upset that I couldn’t have sex any more.

I personally would try to figure out the following, with or without professional help:

• Why is she depressed? She is going through a lot. She is probably scared you are going to abandon her when she needs someone the most. She may also hate the situation that you are in because of her illness. She is also probably angry at the world that she has to suffer this. She is also probably worried for her child and feels guilty that she can’t give her more. There are so many feelings she has to process, it may be easier to just shut down.
• If you remove the expectations of sex with her, would you be willing to stay with her as a caring and respectful partner and mother to your child?
• You might explore non-monogamy. That’s going to be a complicated conversation, but maybe something your wife is willing to explore. Just ensure it takes into consideration all the issues in the first point.

A good mother and partner is so hard to find. Love can take many forms. Don’t feel limited in your choices if you can make other options work out.

I miss the in-depth comments from users experienced in specific fields. I followed RealTesla on Reddit and it was amazing because you had software engineers, automotive engineers, safety systems engineers, lawyers, finance people, car industry insiders and many other perspectives all discussing the topics and bringing their unique insights to the conversation. Here it seems you have the same tired jokes repeated on most posts and not nearly as much depth.

One of the reasons I didn’t want Hillary was to avoid more dynasties (Bush, Clinton). We need need political families keeping power to themselves.

My personal pet peeve is people using “societal” when “social” is just as appropriate.

I believe so.

This reminds me of another factoid - most people never write in their dreams. I wonder if there is a relationship.

I volunteered at the occupy wall street camp in New York. Fun times.

I think that would have the same problem of cancel for the first button and a different name for the desired function on the next screen.

Cancel (delete) -> Cancel (cancel deleting) / Confirm (confirm deleting)

My suggestion is

Discard (delete) -> discard (delete) / Cancel (cancel deleting)

This is what I think should be changed to “Discard.”

These cases aren’t do/don’t. This ruling will likely give more weight to any government parties considering sanctions or other strategies.

I also hate that we don’t have any way to stop genocides from happening, but currently sanctions and trade pressure are currently our most effective/efficient strategies. Hopefully this ruling will be one more bit of pressure, in addition to other pressures, that will provide a path to a longer term solution.

It’s a good start!

Grey had the right idea when he said they didn’t need to be perfect, just as good as or better than humans.

The better question - is Tesla’s FSD causing drivers to have more accidents than other driving assist technologies? It seems like a yes from this article and other data I’ve linked elsewhere in this thread.

I was looking up info for another comment and found this site. It’s from 2021, but the information seems solid.

This table was probably most interesting, unfortunately the formatting doesn’t work on mobile, but I think you can make sense of it.

Car 2021 Sales So Far Total Deaths

Tesla Model S 5,155 40

Porsche Taycan 5,367 ZERO

Tesla Model X 6,206 14

Volkswagen ID 6,230 ZERO

Audi e-tron 6,884 ZERO

Nissan Leaf 7,729 2

Ford Mustang Mach-e 12,975 ZERO

Chevrolet Bolt 20,288 1

Tesla Model 3 51,510 87

So many cars with zero deaths compared to Tesla.

It isn’t if Tesla’s FSD is safer than humans, it’s if it’s keeping up with the automotive industry in terms of safety features. It seems like they are falling behind (despite what their marketing team claims).

All throughout these comments, you seem deeply, deeply confused. Let’s go over this sloooowly.

Mercedes has two autonomous systems. Let’s call them MB FSD and MB Autodrive.

MB FSD has similar features to Tesla’s. It isn’t geo-restricted. You have to pay attention, just like Tesla. It isn’t true autonomous driving, just like Tesla. If you have an accident, you are responsible, just like Tesla.

MB Autodrive is another feature set. It is L3 autonomy, which means it is limited geographically and the driver should be available to take over when prompted. It also means that the driving is completely autonomous. The driver can be reading, playing on their phone, or simply laying there with their eyes closed. Mercedes will even take legal and financial responsibility for any accidents that happen on their system.

So, to summarize:

FSD -type systems: Mercedes and Tesla (and many other car makers)

Level 3: not Tesla, Mercedes

True autonomous driving is when the manufacturer takes responsibility for the car’s actions. Anything else is assisted driving. Until Tesla takes responsibility for accidents, you can’t consider them to have certified autonomous driving.

Is that any clearer to you? After seeing some of your other shilling for Tesla in other posts, maybe there is a reason you don’t want to recognize the advantages of other systems?

Hopefully it won’t be directly delivered to any terrorists. Keep the IDF as far from the aid as possible.

Marcus Aurelius was helpful to me - don’t be sad about the things you’ve lost, be grateful about what you’ve gained. He was specifically talking about the loss of a child. Some people are angry at God because he took away their child to soon. We should be grateful for even the short amount of time we had with that child. I have been able to apply it to so many other situations as well. Just living in constant gratitude can make your life so much better.

I believe Mercedes takes responsibility if there is an accident while driving autonomously.

If you are supporting the Israeli genocide, I hope you get what you deserve.

I thought this was a sub about technology?

Is this the new way that Musk bootlickers try to defend his companies from criticism?

This article is clearly referencing how social media technologies are being used to foment online hate.

The CCDH found that these accounts, which have together amassed 4 million new followers since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, grew four times faster in the months directly following the attack than they had in the months immediately prior. All benefited from the algorithmic boost that comes with paid blue-check verification, and despite repeated community guideline violations, not one has been suspended.

We’ve had similar issues from Facebook amplifying genocidal movements in the past.

As a matter of fact, I would argue that the influence of “algorithmic boosts” is one of the most significant technological issues of our age. It is even more significant when these technologies are in the hands of racist, misogynistic shitstains like Musk.
