  • You do not need to be passing people if they're already going 100mph...

  • I'm confused about this part:

    back into right lane

    This implies you started in the right (non-passing) lane and moved out of it to let them pass. Unless you're from a country that drives on the left, in which case sorry for the confusion.

  • It would be make/model dependent

    I'm specially talking about Tesla's FSD/Autopilot.While getting a demo of FSD from a friend, their Model 3 correctly stopped at a red light, and 30 seconds later a car ran right through it in the next lane over. That's how low the bar is for "worst human driver". Tbh, that human shouldn't have been on the road if they're driving past stopped cars through a red light.

  • What highways are there with a 100mph+ speed limit? I'd love to visit.I thought the highest in the US was 80mph, which means at least 30mph over. I thought you could start getting your vehicle impounded and get reckless driving charges at that point. It's a little more than common speeding

  • I've been following this advice myself, but maybe with a bit of an ulterior motive... Being the second fastest car on the road, maybe a mile or two back from the fastest car on the road means they get pulled over and I don't.

    (On a more serious note, I get my speed fix on the race track now. I've matured enough to realize speeding on public roads isn't worth the risks, especially when there's others on the road that could be affected)

  • It's like none of these people have taken road trips before. Depending on traffic density, you can be passing cars continuously for hours on a 4-lane highway (2 each direction). If there's room to move to the right without slowing down, then yes, move over and cruise on the right lane. You don't need to weave in and out of the passing lane every single car you pass. If you can't stay in the right lane longer than 30 seconds before needing to pass again, it's really not worth switching unless there's someone behind you going even faster.

  • Did you get the lanes mixed up, or are you saying you're moving into the faster lane to let them pass you on the right? Passing on the right may not be illegal in the US, but it's definitely less safe and it's illegal in parts of Europe. I would never move left to let someone pass, if they can't figure out how to go around on their own, that's their problem.

  • The problem is, it's already better than the worst human drivers, it's just that that's too low a bar. It's a looong way away from being better than the best human drivers (think taxi and bus drivers who do it every day, or police who actually go through extra vehicle handling training)

  • This looks quite similar to the Japanese Gardens in Seattle! I didn't realize there were more in the PNW, I might have to do a trip down to Portland to check it out.

  • Well now you've made me go read all their Reddit comments. It happened February 27, and they said it took 2 months for their insurance to get processed. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to wait until they've got everything sorted out before posting.

    Based on pictures of the dash cam files they posted, I don't think they have internal video, they would have had to turn it on before hand I think? Tesla mostly talks about sentry mode internal camera, so I don't actually know if it would record by default.But again, I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to edit a video with face blurring and everything, they don't owe the Internet anything, and not everyone even knows how.

    I'll be honest I don't know for sure they're being truthful, but I'm certainly a lot less skeptical about than you. I think enough of their story checks out that I'm not going to discount it based on lack of additional info alone. I haven't seen them contradict themselves anywhere.

  • Where are you getting February from? As far as I know this happened last week. I don't blame the person not wanting to reveal their face.

  • Did you watch the video? There's no way that it was just "user error", nobody randomly swerves into a tree when nothing's there. Maybe you're implying it was insurance fraud?

    Tesla gives out beta access to users, so I wouldn't put too much weight on that claimed version they were using.

  • Anything that's per-commit is part of the "build" in my opinion.

    But if you're running a language server and have stuff like format-on-save enabled, it's going to use a lot more power as you're coding.

    But like you said, text editing is a small part of the workflow, and looking up docs and browsing code should barely require any CPU, a phone can do it with fractions of a Watt, and a PC should be underclocking when the CPU is underused.

  • It sounds like it does save you a lot of time then. I haven't had the same experience, but I did all my learning to program before LLMs.

    Personally I think the amount of power saved here is negligible, but it would actually be an interesting study to see just how much it is. It may or may not offset the power usage of the LLM, depending on how many questions you end up asking and such.

  • I didn't even say which direction it was misleading, it's just not really a valid comparison to compare a single invocation of an LLM with an unrelated continuous task.

    You're comparing Volume of Water with Flow Rate. Or if this was power, you'd be comparing Energy (Joules or kWh) with Power (Watts)

    Maybe comparing asking ChatGPT a question to doing a Google search (before their AI results) would actually make sense. I'd also dispute those "downloading a file" and other bandwidth related numbers. Network transfers are insanely optimized at this point.

  • Just writing code uses almost no energy. Your PC should be clocking down when you're not doing anything. 1GHz is plenty for text editing.

    Does ChatGPT (or whatever LLM you use) reduce the number of times you hit build? Because that's where all the electricity goes.

  • Asking ChatGPT a question doesn't take 1 hour like most of these... this is a very misleading graph
