Alexa's big issue for me was that you had to remember very specific commands and unless you remembered the exact syntax you were out of luck. I genuinely think if the AI had been better and had been able to interpret commands better, skills would have been infinitely more useful.
- A phone that fits in the hand for those who have long desired a smaller iPhone. This isn't me, but I know a lot of people who bemoaned the death of the smaller line of iPhones and many have held onto their old phones longer than they otherwise would have (not a bad thing, just a data point...)
- A versatile device that allows switching of modes as required. Great for commutes, travel, etc.
It's not for everyone and I'm normally a Pro Max user so definitely don't fit into the first category, but I'm really tempted on this one
Given that some of these teleoperators are in the Philipines, and Tesla's sterling reputation for adhering to regulation and laws, I'm going to hazard my own guess.
Why the blatant lies tho? Waymo people are in Philipines. And when power went out in SF entire Waymo fleet died too because teleops couldn't take over...
I haven't thought about Bézier Curves since my undergrad a long time ago. I distinctly remember wondering at the time why so many lecturers added extra hurdles (i.e. the need to understand the intricacies of Bézier Curves) in their assignments rather than letting students focus on the computer science/programming concepts they were meant to be learning.
What concepts were you “meant” to be learning? Doesn’t the content of the lectures give you a clue as to the educators’ intent? Are you aware that Bézier curves cover many fundamental CS topics, such as recursion, function evaluation, function approximation, numerical analysis, linear algebra, root finding, and more? Do you know they’re used heavily in a lot of software you use? (Browsers, font rendering, maps, nonlinear numerical libraries, UI frameworks, games, etc.)
Same here. Bézout also was another mysterious killer.
Concepts coming from french mathematicians were made more obscure just to raise the bar. The irony is, in french Universities.
I recall a student who had enough failing the computer based assessments. He kindly asked the lead lecturer to show us all that he, at least, could land a perfect score. He made the mistake to try, got 8 points out of 20.
He admitted it wasn't easy when not prepared, and moved on with the next mined field.
I think it would have sold much better if the price was lower, but it was still missing an obvious use-case. A lot of people in this thread have mentioned their Vision Pros are gathering dust.

That part is indeed interesting. I would have thought this would be exactly the audience likely to travel with the device, use it as a large monitor for daily work, etc. Apparently not.
> It would be incredibly useful if before you were about to edit a file, the version control system would warn you that someone else has made changes to it already or are actively working on it. In large teams, this sort of automation would reduce conflicts, as long as humans agree to not touch the same file. This would also reduce the amount of quality regressions that result from bad conflict resolutions.
Bringing me back to my VSS days (and I'd much rather you didn't)
Ah, this old fallacy. There are myriad examples of the rich striving to be richer and the powerful fighting to gain even more power. Why would it be any different with Musk? If anything I suspect (this is absolutely an unverifiable opinion; I am not stating it as fact) that Musk's driving force is to become the first trillionaire.
I think it's important for those responding about their Duolingo experience to include the tier that they are using. Specifically, I wonder if the conversations with AI, and the "explain this" feature in Duolingo Max change outcomes? I'm new to Duolingo, chose the max tier, and feel that I'm learning quite a bit specifically because I am having simple conversations in French daily (albeit with an AI that seems to me to have questionable hearing at times). I haven't used it long enough to provide insight or even judge the platform, but for those using the more expensive tier(s) I wonder your thoughts...
I totally believe that (some) people are achieving great results at the free tier.
I am definitely not saying that Duolingo is useless or a bad (i.e, net negative) use of someone's time. But even good things are not immune to criticism

I definitely didn't mean to imply otherwise
