I had my first experience with Full Self-Driving (FSD). Going into it, I was a bit anxious, given my past experiences with autosteer that left me somewhat skeptical about the reliability of such systems.
The drive lasted about 40 minutes, and I disengaged the system twice. The first disengagement occurred when approaching a partially opened gate. While the car seemed to believe it could make it through, the close proximity made me uncomfortable, so I took control. The second time, the car attempted a U-Turn where it was clearly marked as prohibited, prompting another manual intervention.
One aspect of FSD that stood out to me was its approach to acceleration and braking, which felt more assertive than my usual driving style. I wonder if there’s a way to adjust these settings to better match my preferences.
Another point of contention was the adherence to speed limits. The car stuck rigidly to them, which sometimes felt out of sync with the flow of traffic. For instance, in areas where the limit was 35 mph but the usual speed was closer to 20 mph, or in residential areas where the norm was around 10 mph, it would accelerate to 25 mph. So, I was constantly adjusting the speed, not to be a jerk to other drivers by driving too slowly, and to feel more safe by not driving too fast.
Sharp turns were another area where the ride felt less than smooth, coming off a bit jerky.
Despite these observations, there are several positive aspects worth highlighting. The lane-changing capability was notably smooth, showcasing the system’s advanced sensors and processing power. It’s remarkable to see how it can assess the surroundings and make swift decisions, often more quickly than a human driver might.
Overall, the ride was more or less comfortable, and the technology’s ability to navigate to its destination was genuinely impressive. Experiencing FSD firsthand offered a fascinating glimpse into the future of driving and the ongoing advancements in automotive technology. It’s clear that there’s a lot of potential here, and I’m excited to see how it evolves to enhance our driving experiences even further.

A lot of weekends with the rain. I feel attacked by nature.
I have received an email from Tesla about complimentary FSD (full-self driving) for a month. I did not try it yet; I will keep you posted.
Guess what. It’s Saturday and… (dramatic pause) …it’s raining. ☔
How to disable Twitter links shortener? It is very slow and gives users a bad experience?
Why do everyone think I quit my current job? I think it’s obvious: first, you find a new job and then you give the notice. Isn’t that the obvious sequence? I think it’s not adult and completely irresponsible to quit first and then desperately start looking for the new job.
Bad: 1. Give the notice to your current employer 2. Find a new job
Good: 1. Find a new job 2. Give the notice to your current employer
I am using earplugs every day currently; I have found a brand that is comfortable and blocking noises very well, however one low hum is cutting through. It sounds like it is coming from the electric grid. It is between A and A#, and then I remove earplugs I cannot hear it. Very curious where it is coming from though.
I just learned Twitter does not like my URL shortener. It does not like slashes in the shortened URL. So I am going to tell an inappropriate joke for that occasion: “How non-binary sociopath kill people? They / (slash) them.” I hope this message is long enough to trigger my URL shortener. Just going to add some more words to be sure. One, two, three, mic check. Three, two, one… Ok I think this is enough.
Why is it creepy if somebody watches you sleeping? I don’t mind if someone watches me sleeping. In any public transportation: bus, airplane, subway, I sleep.
Meta said: no 😭 It is OK, just keep swimming.
I picked the great time to start looking for a job. After multiple massive layoffs from gaming studios and corporations. 😬
If you have multiple graphics adapters and some of your Unreal Engine games are confused; you can force your video card by adding the command line argument: -graphicsadapter=1
C is a low-level language? 🤔 When did it happen?
I get it. OpenAI.com is way shorter than FreeAsFreeBearAIButPayAs20DollarsAMonth.com.
It is Saturday, and guess what? It is raining. ☔
Terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia. More than 60 died, over 120 injured.
The job hunting market has changed a lot in recent years. LinkedIn is worse than Tinder; it’s littered with a bunch of scammers and bots who just want to sell you some made-up products.
Use ChatGPT or you will become a dinosaur, and people will laugh at you the same way how people laughed at those who did not know how to Google.
Just keep swimming
Or, give me money and I’ll build the metaverse solo.
I wonder how much billions or even trillions are lost just because Windows has such a slow file system? It is ridiculous how slow it is.
I should not eat rib BBQ at night. Oh boy.
TIL; FINNEAS produces his own songs. 😲
Why do people react to the music harmony, feel emotions? I understand the melody; it kind of part of language. But harmony is usually three tones we don’t have analogs in nature; it is based on harmonics but feels like this explanation is far-fetched.
Is the code generated with the help of Copilot public domain? Similarly, how is it with image generation?
