Finally pushed another update to yardsear.ch You can now filter search results with a date range, and sort by best match, oldest first, and newest first. Up next is to combine all results from the same episode into a popup and then add multi page results.

First mini-"update" is pushed to yardsear.ch All episode transcripts are now a result of running every episode through OpenAI's Whisper model. These transcripts are more accurate and not censored like YT ones. Working on adding premiums next, then date filters

@brakeboosted @Auto_Racer_it Interesting, If it's true I can't imagine they'll be able to keep it. Really enjoy seeing all the ridiculous tricks teams come up with to be in the grey area.

@bfayers_ @Auto_Racer_it It's in how the transition time is measured, which seems to be on the ECU. It's being tricked into thinking that the initial stoppage is full closure.

Apparently that was completely intentional and used to evade the rules. I had noted the early stoppage (jamming) motion but put it down to what seemed to be insufficient strength/pressure in the system under heavy loads. @Auto_Racer_it however reports that Mercedes are able to evade the 400 ms transition time by designing a two-phase actuator. - The first phase is quick and within the 400 ms window and triggers the control systems as a complete closure. - The secondary, slower phase is completely void of any time limit. The front wing actuator is an OSC, so rival teams have access to the designs. Ferrari has sought clarification, and the actuator will be thoroughly checked in Japan.

@the_zb_ @DRSunlocked If the transition time is longer than 400ms, thats a clear violation of the written rules. Judging by the fact that it seems to 'jam' at some point through its rotation on the right, I'd hazard that it's unintentional and probably not beneficial.

Remember folks. That Carwow video that’s upset everyone. Where they can’t tell the difference between Full Self Driving and EAP? This is what their car has:

@DevinOlsenn @SawyerMerritt @carwowuk Last yr they compared a MY and a BYD Sealion, said that the MY was better at everything except for efficiency declaring BYD the winner. They had read the screen wrong in the BYD. They later used the youtube editor to cut out the mistake & replaced the final verdict after comments

So frustrating how misinformed people will spread news like this and just keep the cycle of misinformation going. This is genuinely a huge part of why I started making FSD content - seeing so many people online who were trying to discredit it. I am sure they won’t, but it would be nice for @carwowuk to come out and make an apology.

Carwow just released a new video to its 11 million YouTube subscribers titled: "Why Tesla Full Self Drive is Pointless!" @carwowuk misleads its viewers into thinking Tesla’s Autopilot is FSD, even though FSD hasn’t been approved in the UK yet. Autopilot isn’t meant for city driving, yet they test of bunch of scenarios that Autopilot wasn't built to do in the first place....

As expected, Google is making sideloading harder on Android… but it is NOT going anywhere Here's the new way in simple steps: • Turn ON Developer Mode in settings • Confirm no one is forcing you • Restart your phone and unlock again • Wait 24 hours, then verify with fingerprint / face / PIN • Now you can install apps (7 days or always) More steps, but you still have the choice

My theory is BMW put funny lights at launch events so people can talk for months about how ugly it is up until they see it in the flesh and they swallow what they said and talk about how nice the car is for a long time 🤞🏾🤣😂😂

📢 Important update on sideloading on Android It’s of course here to stay. The team’s been listening carefully to feedback from power users who want a way (apart from ADB) to install apps that don’t go through developer verification. Today, we have more details on the advanced flow that gives you this option. Read the post👇 for more info goo.gle/advance-flow

Rivian Universal Hands-Free vs Tesla Self-Driving This was my first time testing Rivian's new Universal Hands-Free, and I was honestly surprised by how it performed. I understand this is their first attempt and it will only improve from here, but truthfully, it is worse than any version of FSD or Autopilot I have ever used. I respect Rivian as a company, but I always try to remain unbiased in my opinions, so here are my unfiltered thoughts on where UHF stands today. Hoping to test it more as the system receives major updates! Hope you all enjoy the video. Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:45 Struggling to get UHF to turn on 1:25 Hard resetting the system 2:00 Enabling UHF 2:45 Max speed and lane changing 4:00 Strange warning 5:00 Disengagement 5:28 UHF fails on corner 7:58 Attention monitoring test 9:25 Harsh brake for merging vehicle 10:10 Changing driving styles 10:50 Harsh brake for bus 12:15 Robotic driving style 13:10 I am not comfortable using this 14:35 Parking capabilities 15:40 Getting into Tesla 16:50 FSD vs UHF thoughts 18:20 Final thoughts

@RoamingNorway @RivianTrackr @itskyleconner At least on the UK configurator for the iX3 you have to spec the M Sport package (£2.5k) to be allowed to spec the steering wheel (another £100).

@PinkDuckUK @EVPuzzle @OctopusEnergy Seeing people previously on 7p/kWh on a 12M fix getting given 3.5p/kWh. Would be nice if us IOG Variable customers get the same treatment of our 7p getting cut in half.

@EVPuzzle @OctopusEnergy New IOG off-peak rate is 5.5 p/kWh, so safe to assume it should also be 4.99 p/kWh for existing IOG Variable customers such as myself currently at 7 p/kWh.

@Timoldland Nice, but the rear end is ugly, just like the iX3. Apparently you can spec an m-sport steering wheel to avoid the baffling decision to have a spoke at 12 o'clock too.

@KingGuy04 @NevrEnoughX @wholemars Better than Tesla even in non-FSD markets. But then Tesla practically abandoned the AP stack years ago in the pursuit of FSD.

their approach is a bit different from Tesla’s, they try to squeeze everything they can from one camera and learn things, then only scaled the hardware once they’ve reached the limits. So once they reach the limit, and the camera is the main bottleneck, then they will add more cameras. They’re nowhere near Tesla, but it’s actually pretty insane what they’ve been able to accomplish with one camera. Better than what auto makers have.
