  • oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

    Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

    There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

    I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

    Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

    Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.







  • That said, the amount of troubleshooting and wasted time that it took to figure out that the CPU was responsible for months of random crashes

    I went through something similar, so I understand.

    My (AMD) CPU was defective. But if was only noticeable that it would never be able to wake up from suspend. I didn’t really notice crashes. Just broken suspend. I thought it was a Linux kernel bug, though couldn’t figure out any details. Only after almost a year of pain (no suspend) the CPU just didn’t boot at all anymore.

    It was sort of replaced under warranty by the store. They took ages to investigate, then gave a store gift card. Likely because the CPU was temporarily out of stock. I had to wait for the CPU to be in stock to be able to buy it again. Fortunately still had the previous AM4 CPU.

    The new CPU suspends without any issues. Took months to be able to not doubt suspend. E.g. if it was suspended I usually thought it had crashed.

    An unreliable CPU is a terrible experience.










  • I’m amazed that you think Ricciardo is performing at an equal level as Tsunoda. Then I checked and it seemed for the last 5 races or so Ricciardo finished higher. Quite surprising, I basically wrote Ricciardo off ages ago!

    Anyway, Ricciardo had it difficult after not being able to perform in McLaren. Not exactly sure if he’s able to handle pressure still. Finishing slightly better than Tsunoda for a few races isn’t that impressive to me.

    Putting Lawson directly in the Red Bull is probably too much of a risk

    Agreed.

    Quite curious as to what is going to happen. There’s (was?) a power struggle in Red Bull, seems different people there have different drivers as their preference. They seem to be stubborn.
