@bernardtjoy I fell asleep during part 2

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (Part One) is one of the most boring films ever to be made by a human being.

Honestly I don’t know what it would improve. 14.2.2.5 isn’t perfect but the perfection is more a matter of such tiny things I can’t even imagine what differences we’d notice. Does ANYONE have an idea what would change? The navigation sucks, clearly, but my understanding is that’s not FSD (and wouldn’t change in 14.3). I hear it might stop “smoother” but is that truly worthy of a point release? I’d love somebody to tell me what they think will change

Elon says FSD 14.3 is coming. But if you’ve been following along, it was also “two weeks away” a few months ago. That’s drawn a lot of criticism, understandably. Let’s step back and talk about what’s actually going on: engineering reality. I’ve spent years running engineering teams at Apple and Rivian, and what you’re seeing here is not unusual. Not even a little. I’m not here to defend Elon or say communication couldn’t be better. It could. But what’s happening behind the scenes is far more ordinary than people think. First, understand what kind of company Tesla is. Tesla exposes more of its internal process than most companies— you’re watching how the sausage is made, often in real time. Compare that to Apple. Products appear at a moment in time, fully formed. What you don’t see are the features that slipped, were cut, or quietly postponed to make the deadline. Most companies communicate through layers of marketing at discrete events (e.g., NVIDIA GTC). That may include a CEO keynote—but it’s still tightly controlled. Tesla, largely via Elon, doesn’t. And that creates friction. Most people are used to being in the dining room. With Tesla, you’re watching the sausage get made whether you like it or not. If that makes you uncomfortable, this model will drive you crazy no matter how it’s explained. Now, about FSD 14.3— the so-called “reasoning” release. My view: when Elon originally referenced it, it was real. It was on a roadmap with a timeline. But then reality hit. Somewhere along the way, engineering discussions likely exposed a fork: ship what’s partially there, or go deeper and "do it right". That kind of shift happens constantly. Plans change. Timelines slip. This is normal engineering behavior, not dysfunction. The difference is: you’re seeing it. At companies like Apple, those decisions are invisible. Deadlines are protected by cutting scope. At Tesla, you’re watching the scope evolve in real time. On the technical side, 14.1 and 14.2 were already producing “reasoning tokens,” as Ashok (Tesla AI VP) noted. But producing tokens isn’t the same as using them effectively. 14.3 appears to be where those tokens actually start driving behavior, more human-like decision-making in edge cases. My guess is this is where things got more complicated. The work likely started to overlap with what xAI is doing. At that point, the question becomes: do you ship an interim solution, or integrate a more capable reasoning layer? That’s not a small decision. And it likely has downstream impact— potentially even on Robotaxi timelines— because these same reasoning challenges show up there too. So the team probably made a call: go deeper, even if it costs time. And here’s the part people underestimate: great engineering teams often convince themselves the extra work is worth it… and that it won’t take that much longer. They’re usually wrong on the timeline. But often right on the outcome. At this stage, FSD isn’t about raw safety (it seems to have nailed that)— it’s about behavior. Making decisions feel natural, human, predictable in edge cases. That’s a much harder problem. So if you’re following Tesla closely, the best thing you can do is understand the process and accept the messiness that comes with it. If you want tightly controlled messaging and polished delivery, companies like Apple exist for that. Tesla is something else entirely. Fire away.

@fandompulse Gunn’s Superman did the impossible-it made me like Snyder’s version ( which in comparison seems like a masterpiece)

Bane creator Graham Nolan on James Gunn's Superman movie: "Superman has one histrionic outburst after another and wonders why he’s mistrusted? Way too beta. His parents are from Kansas and sound and act like they were inbred in Kentucky. It’s a narrative mess as scenes jump confusingly. Too many characters with no intro to who they are. I know Steve Lombard’s background but a normy doesn’t. Perry White smokes a cigar with no smoke or ash Calling fight plays during a fight? That’s idiotic. We never see Metamorpho do anything to break up the war at the end, yet there he is all of a sudden. I have one unbreakable rule when it comes to movies and entertainment: make me care! I’ll buy all kinds of bullshit you are selling if I care about the characters and stakes. For SUPERMAN…I didn’t care." Is he right?

@DANIELPEMBERTON I’m going to see it and it will be the first movie I will see in theaters in over a decade. Might be the last.

All of us on #ProjectHailMary were so excited to be flying the flag for big ambitious original movie making we put everything we had - and a little more - into it. I second every comment by the very wise Chris below. This is a very special film. See it big! IT IS TIME GO 👎👎

@elonmusk Child pornographer in prison-what’s the over/under on how many months of life he has left? 😂😂😂

Another one

@chrizmillr This is going to be the first film I’ve seen in a theater in over a decade. Maybe even the last one I will ever see there.

IT IS TIME GO to the movies. PROJECT HAIL MARY is in cinemas tonight. This is a very special film & I’m really proud of it. It’s a rare thing these days for a studio to make a big original non-franchise movie, so take advantage & see it on the biggest screen you can!

@Cosmic_Andrew1 Up until now I was positive if they ever made Rama they would fuck it up big time (with DEI and girl bosses) but now I have a glimmer of hope. PHM is going to be the first film I’ve seen in a theater in over a decade. I hope it won’t be the last.

The movie is fantastic and that can't be taken away from them but I am praying it financially crushes it so more studios may take a chance on big budget original sci-fi stories. Hopefully Rendevous with Rama directed by Villeneuve is up next in this category 🤞

@HustleBitch_ What the fuck is a car key?

🚨 TOYOTA JUST MADE A CAR KEY SO CONFUSING… DEALERSHIPS HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE HOW TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR A full-grown adult has to explain how to unlock a car door using the new Toyota card key. The key card literally has instructions printed on it. Angle the card. Find the “right spot.” Try again. Like you’re diffusing a bomb. Even he can’t get it on the first try: “Not working… not working right.” Now people will be standing outside their own car… waving a card around hoping it works. How did Toyota just make a car key WORSE?

@SirBylHolte I actually liked Holland in the role until the last one where Toby showed up and suddenly I realized Toby was SO much better in the role (actually both of the previous actors were much better-that movie did not do Holland any good in comparison)

I had forgotten how much I HATE Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Then I re-watched "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and the reason why hit me like a truck: he's a dumb MODERN LIBERAL. "I’m gonna fix the bad guys." "Ooh, I don’t want the bad guys to get killed." "I don’t care how many people they hurt or kill along the way." "This is what I want, and humanity just has to deal with it." This time when I watched, after 6 years of democrat madness, I literally found myself rooting for "the villains." Because Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Electro are at least competent and actually get shit done—unlike that bumbling asshole Holland. He literally frees his deadliest nemeses from containment… ….so they can stay alive, go back to their worlds…and kill more people. And the funniest part is that Aunt May cheers him on for FREEING CRIMINALS - and we all know how THAT turned out for her😂 Even Green Goblin calls him out for being too weak to do what needs doing. And now he’s about to ruin “Brand New Day” with his constant failure and weakness. I thank God this will be his last outing in the role. I’d rather have a 60-year-old Tobey Maguire in the suit than this bozo.

@congressdj Anyone can buy a Tesla. Even idiots like this

I’ll just leave this right here. 🤣

@AntSpeaks Grandma Groyper has always been a grifter. I’m not sure why her current behavior surprises anyone.

Honestly? I never thought Megyn Kelly of all people would embarrass herself this much. Tucker? Candace? They were always too predictable. But the Megyn Kelly I’ve observed over the last few years, I thought, would have a much better grasp of common sense and critical thinking. I was, of course, wrong. If you look back at her career and just how much her views have shifted, she once hosted a show where in one episode they essentially celebrated trans kids, and you will then see just how... not very bright she truly is.

@DrEliDavid @lLorrib60 At least they never have to practice surrendering (they are just naturally good at it)

How incompetent is the French military? A sailor on Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier just revealed its location by using a fitness tracker (Strava) while jogging on the ship's deck 🤣 Source: Le Monde

@RichOToole We had this sort of happen in our community a few years ago, when thousands of crawdads migrated from one pond to the other. Was fun for a day or two and then just a horrible mess.

A truck crashed in Louisiana that was full of live Crawfish. When I used my third wish with the genie I specifically asked for this to happen next to my house. Get it right bro. 🧞‍♂️ 🦞

@disparutoo Isn't it ironic that DEI itself, the very concept of it, is saying "we can't compete on equal grounds so let's make sure the most competent folks won't win".

“I love diversity, more women are getting appreciated”. It’s always self interest, their words betray them. Its really about removing the most competent men of talent they could never compete with.

Always done it since I was a kid - remember that deep REM sleep (or even the deeper sleep that ISN'T REM) doesn't last very long, and most of the night (or even at nap time) you are in a pretty light state, which is fairly easy to wake up from and check the time. Now - if you aren't exhausting yourself enough, not getting enough exercise during the day to truly make you sleep that deep at night, that might be the issue. You need those hours of deep sleep to reset the brain and if you are either not putting yourself into them (or other factors, like loud noises during the night, are keeping you from getting into them) then, yes, it's going to be VERY difficult to wake up at any point in time. Even when your alarm does go off.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

@Karanx_ Ah HA - now we have PROOF that a Karen is an idiot (we've always known it, but at least here she admits it for all the world to see). 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am a better driver than FSD: 1. I don't drive 25 below the speed limit in an 80 zone. 2. I don't cross 3 lanes with 100m to an exit 3. I don't nearly hit the curb on snowy days 4. I don't take a 20m detour down an unplowed road. These aren't edge cases. They are real cases.

@Raclure03 It's the only exercise the two old people my wife and are I each night get.

Les propriétaires de raclures connaissent bien cette gymnastique contorsionniste 😹😹😹👍

And I want to point out something to all the libtard idiots who say "APPLES TO ORANGES - this is a whole different FSD than what that lady had!!". That's not the point - the point is the truck is MORE than capable of making that turn at the speed it was going when she disengaged FSD. IOW, it was NOT unsafe at any point UNTIL the lady took matters into her own hands.

FSD ON vs FSD OFF

@JayGenXer Don't forget "It can infect you in your car even with your windows rolled up, so please mask up there. Indeed, mask up EVERYWHERE, even on the beach, because those little particles fly like the monkeys in Wizard of Oz"

FACTS we lived by 🤦🏻‍♂️
