there was a story going around last night about tesla getting an update and i thought there's no way that's real: https://mathstodon.xyz/@sc_griffith/109587584669456676


so i dug and the update happened on dec 20th: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2022.20.12/release-notes

quote:

Speed Assist
Speed Assist now leverages your car's cameras to detect speed limit signs. This improves the accuracy of speed limit data on local roads and highways in select countries. Detected speed limit signs will be displayed in the driving visualization.
oh okay the feature just reads the speed limit signs and obeys them? what's the problem? i better go read the documentation


speed assist: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-5D3D4014-4E98-45D7-8BBC-F76BCA9CEC05.html
okay so it just warns you about speed limits and lets you change the window for warnings and has a 10s timeout after a warning. wait i glossed over a note


so relative and absolute speed limit changes, but this only affects a warning chime, and the traffic-aware cruise control right? speed assist has to be a restricted driving feature just for this highway-specific feature right?


about autopilot: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-EDA77281-42DC-4618-98A9-CC62378E0EC2.html
turns out that's the basis for all of autopilot's logic and that "set cruising speed" affects: autopilot, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer, Navigate on Autopilot, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control. it's explicitly an "active safety feature"?!

honestly scott adams is a mild improvement over musk given his ego and how easy he can be manipulated with dilbert references

Musk apparently told Twitter to not pay any lease or termination fees, wanted to forgo permits and ignore zoning and city regulations, and had them install non code locks on doors that would cause people to die if there's an earthquake or fire in the Twitter hq.

Lawsuit dropped and it's a drat doozy.
ya i dropped a copy of the KUSK lawsuit against twitter in discord but apparently people are just too friendly to not post it here to save me effort: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TRVpgw1qXsqm4k3KRH4HQARbGKYs3EbU/view

i'd quote the best parts but that's every paragraph

the letter: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23816306-twitter-audit-letter-from-a-spiro-to-microsoft

notice it's focusing on the new developer agreement and automation rules and not the ones that microsoft would have agreed to when the apps were made...

and i thought spiro was off of elon's legal team after they had a spat a few months ago
