That’s exactly my thoughts. Code and documentation are one of the primary types of „content” by/for engineers. Kind of goes against the main topic of the article.
That's unlikely. Try driving in a snowstorm, where visual inputs become effectively useless, and you quickly realize how much the motion inputs are factored in as well.
They are very different problems. You can attach every kind of sensor to the phone and get HD images, lidar scan, 3D model, heat signature and whatever other signal you want, but you still won't be able to figure out calories in a piece of food without breaking it apart at a molecular level. There's just too much hidden information. What sensor will tell you how many tablespoons of oil the chef used to fry onions for the sauce? Heck the chef himself probably won't be able to tell you.
I legitimately drove full month with near zero interventions in FSD. The second statement is achievable in my opinion. Most people have not experienced hw4 with latest releases.
That's an interesting comment, but I have driven in heavy rain, and it worked just fine. Can you share how you arrived at your conclusion? I mean there is a limit to where the obstruction is so intense that even human cannot drive I get that but its actually performing fine for me in heavy rain that is still drivable for a human.
Every person being rescued must have the app.
Only one person rescuing needs to have the app.
It'll be easy to find a collapsed building site. The person rescuing just needs to be close to the site with the app. Otherwise, the signal might not be noticed.
+1 regarding finding survivors for malicious purposes. I tried my best to lower the surface area of that happening. It's still possible in edge cases, like opposing soldiers finding the people transmitting SOS, but they need to be extremely close to do that.
Great idea, but it should be open 24/7 with eight 3-hour windows. One account can only use a single window during the 24-hour period. This will handle the timezone differences.
The better way would be to choose a time slot when you sign up. Then you always socialise within that slot. Allowing you to use any time any day kills the concept.
I think you could also be allowed to modify your “three hour slot” up to 24 hours in advance somehow. That way you can handle travelling and relocation without allowing people to game the system and extend their slot to 6 hours or some other weird thing you didn’t anticipate.
[edit] I realised as soon as I pressed send that immediately there will be a service that let's you open 8 accounts and seamlessly operate them as a single one.
Thus immediately killing anything good about the project. It’s barely been announced and we’re already brainstorming the shortest path to enshittification.
Things are allowed to exist for fun, most things don’t have to (or should) be concentrated on profit.
