You use disparaging slurs ("Karen") to refer to a woman who just wants to ride the bus to get to work and earn an living, and you politely call a person who is a public nuisance a "homeless man".

Karen isn't a name in the same way that Boommer isn't an age. It's a state of mind.

We're not talking about the people who have been genuinly victimized. We're talking about the people who wring their hands over some smelly guy in some corner on the subway. Because they dominate the stats.

The readers of Hacker News are almost certainly responsible. I found these pages within a minute of browsing randomly.

There's a little BASIC resurgance now. I've been having fun with this https://github.com/ReuvenSwirsky/erlbasic "Erlang BASIC" which implements a mini-computer style time sharing BASIC system in Erlang. There's a beta of it online now, running a more advanced version than the branch on GitHub I’ve been using.

I'll see if I can port this "Vi" to this flavor of BASIC.

Me and the Apple IIc on my desk are ready for it

I was 100% FSD today. Went to the office, ran some errands, went home. Never touched the steering wheel once. 2026 Model S Plaid.

It does look to an outside non-Tesla-owning observer, like it's getting there sometimes, but do you think it is? Or is it just plateauing?

Honestly, the best thing to do is go on a free test drive and evaluate for yourself. I don’t see it ever hitting 100%, but I don’t find myself needing to take over under normal conditions.

> Never touched the steering wheel once.

Don’t you have to?

No, you can start FSD from stopped using a button on the screen. It drives to the destination and parks itself.

It's been a year or two since I drove a Tesla, but in FSD mode it insisted I at least touch the steering wheel regularly.

Modern refreshed models use an eye tracking camera.

The steering wheel sensor could be defeated by taping a water bottle to the wheel. The eye tracking is supposed to be harder to defeat, although I wonder if it would accept a mannequin in the driver seat.

No. A camera watches you to make sure you’re paying attention.
