v15 soon? 👀👀👀

@ranig @Delta @JetBlue @Starlink Starship, when operational will be pretty busy with Starlink v3

@ChuckCook @Delta @JetBlue @Starlink You never know... Given Leo is run by Amazon, they might end up launching their constellation with Starship. 🙄

@Delta and @JetBlue need to sign with @Starlink now. The timelines of alternatives just changed.

@DirtyTesLa :)

@ChuckCook Bruh

v15 soon? 👀👀👀

@brdunton @Tesla_AI I have not seen this issue.

@ChuckCook curious if at night in your CT you have seen the “cabin illumination too low, disabling hands free”? I am on 14.3.2. I have tinted windows, but this has never been an issue up to this version of FSD. @Tesla_AI

@sreeharivariar @Teslarati Not yet.

@Teslarati Is the chain detection solved? @ChuckCook

Does anyone have anything they want to see improvements on with FSD v14.3.4? I can’t think of anything major, just small tweaks

@wholemars @jessalanfields Mine has never been vandalized either. I do keep a beekeeper magnet on both sides of my truck to get a little extra love though.

@jessalanfields I feel like so much of that is exaggerated to scare people. Have had one for 2.5 years and have never had any vandalism issues

@rocktstl @CrystalHope1979 Many northern beekeepers do a variation on this. I don't need this much sucrose in Florida to get my bees through our "winter" dearth, hardly any at all. This isn't a revelation like the video makes it sound, its just beekeeping.

@CrystalHope1979 @ChuckCook true?

🐝 This beekeeper just dropped the ULTIMATE winter survival hack — and it actually WORKED! 🍯 Watch as she uncovers her hive in spring after following advice from a seasoned local beekeeper: topping the hive with newspaper and a 2-inch layer of sugar. The bees ate right through the paper, feasted on the sugar all winter, stayed warm, and the sugar even absorbed damaging moisture. Survival rates boosted. Hive thriving. Mind officially blown! 🐝 🐝 🐝 Who else is trying this next season? 😮

@OGMarsLife @anishmoonka Accurate

@anishmoonka Any thoughts from @ChuckCook the beekeeper

A male bee mates for less than 5 seconds in midair. The ejaculation is so explosive you can hear it pop from a few feet away. His body rips in half. He falls dead before hitting the ground. And he is one of the lucky males in the hive. When a male bee, called a drone, chases down a queen mid-flight at speeds of 22 miles per hour, his entire reproductive organ turns inside out. The pressure required for this comes from nearly all the blood in his body, which rushes downward to force the organ outward like a spring. The semen fires into the queen with so much force it makes the audible pop. The organ then snaps off and stays lodged inside her like a cork. As he flips backward off her body, his abdomen rips open. The next drone waiting his turn has to physically yank out the dead male's cork before he can mate. The same thing then happens to him. The queen does this 12 to 20 times in a single afternoon. She flies up to a spot in the sky that beekeepers call a drone congregation area. Picture an invisible meeting point about 50 to 130 feet above the ground where up to 11,000 male bees from as many as 240 different hives are hovering, waiting for her. These spots stay in the exact same locations year after year, sometimes for over a decade. No one fully understands how brand new drones, born only weeks earlier, find them. By the end of her mating run, the queen has collected around 100 million sperm cells. She keeps only 5 to 6 million in a tiny internal storage organ that keeps them alive for years. From that supply, she uses just two sperm cells per egg for the rest of her life, laying up to 2,000 eggs a day for 2 to 7 years. After that one afternoon in the sky, she will never mate again. A 2019 study from UC Riverside, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Western Australia found that bee semen contains toxic proteins that temporarily blind the queen by interfering with how vision genes function in her brain. If she can't see well, she can't fly out again to mate with more males. Their semen also carries a separate protein that attacks and kills sperm cells from rival drones still inside her. The males keep competing long after every one of them is dead. The 99.9% of drones who never get to mate have it worse. As autumn arrives, the female worker bees in the hive stop feeding their brothers, then drag them out of the entrance after biting off their wings. The drones can't fly back in. They starve or freeze in the grass within days. The colony raises a fresh batch of disposable males the next spring, and the whole cycle starts over.

@13arm13arm Ok.. that s fair. either way they will fix it if its not what they need.

@ChuckCook It’s shielding

Does that wrinkled steel not worry anyone about this picture? I don't think they put it together that way.

@mehauff7 I don't think that part of the structure supporting the raptors is foil.

@ChuckCook Seems like heat shield foil. The fasteners have large washers so it’s likely a bendable material.

@MyTeslaMoonship Yup..but we made our point.

@ChuckCook This is getting out of hand!!!!

Stealing content will no longer be profitable on X. Bravo X & XAI teams 👏

@RichardSV23 But that wont rub out on landing.. so I think it needs more structure.. or am I wrong on the uneducated guess.

@ChuckCook Looks like deformity due to pressure and atmospheric changes

@rookisaacman @PebMet1 @Maxarick @NASA Flight suit is safety equipment/gear. Wings are insignia. @rookisaacman has it right here. Don't confuse the two.

I agree with you. That is why I won’t wear NASA astronaut wings or pins. But if your issue is with the blue flight suit, you may be surprised to learn that NASA pilots, not just astronauts, also wear blue. If you think I also didn’t earn my pilot credentials, well then I can’t help you.

WHAT AN UPGRADE COMPARED TO YESTERDAY

@DrKnowItAll16 @Tesla_AI The think chain test is even harder than the thin bright yellow tape test.

Thin horizontal lines are anathema for neural networks. I’m glad to see @tesla_ai taking solving this edge case seriously. I’ve had 0 success with these in my own tests. Let’s hope Tesla can figure out a way to make it work! Thanks, y’all, for sharing!

@TimDehoucke @yunta_tsai @thejefflutz Yes he did, and it is doing a great job these days.

@yunta_tsai @thejefflutz @ChuckCook ☝️this guy replicated a part of your neurons inside FSD to handle UPL

Tesla FSD 14.3.3 now knows when I’m about to enter a car wash and prompts the main screen with a one-touch button to enter ‘car wash mode’… interested to understand the detection scheme … have a few obvious guesses

@99_Colorado @teslaownersSV Diana always sees the person, not the role or name.

@teslaownersSV Happy Birthday 🎂! John, I can’t thank you enough for your friendship over the last 2 years! You are a good man & a good friend! Outside of all you’ve done for the community, you have stood by me, lifted me up, and ensured my success! Happy Birthday & many more!

Kalena talking about @Cybertruck ASS? 👀👀👀
