  1. For the first time, our EDGAR research vehicle has successfully completed a Level 4 autonomous #testdrive in real city traffic. 🎉 During the test, #TÜV inspection teams also evaluated a new real-world testing methodology for #autonomousvehicles: t1p.de/EDGAR

  3. I wonder if the salesman knew what sort of test drive I'd take the car on. A little bit on the A1 for a cruising speed test, then across Alnwick moor, along to the to the Todburn turning, then down the unnamed road with the turnoff for the kennels and cattery, which was covered with snow and ice, through two fords, then home to check I could get it in my drive.

    Then on to the Thrunton road, very steep and icy. Next heading back across Alnwick Moor again, in snow.

    The car performed very well. I had driven the route in my car, and several times it meandered and the wheels spun. In the Suzuki the yellow traction light flicker but the system sorted it before I could feel anything and the car remained rock steady on course. On the difficult section in trail mode and got 2.1 kWh per mile, and on the faster sections 2.6, but this did include a couple of 200 metre hills and going at a reasonable pace. As 0-3 C temperature I don't think this is bad.

  5. A random link I came across reminded me that one of my FOSS projects' README file references all of the following:

    Tru64
    HP-UX
    Debian
    RedHat
    SuSE
    Ubuntu
    FreeBSD
    NetBSD
    Darwin

    x86
    AMD64
    Alpha
    PA-RISC
    Itanium
    PowerPC

    I would like to issue a decades-late "thank you" to Hewlett Packard for operating their "Test Drive" program, that allowed me to do test builds on all of those platforms I had no other access to. [1] I was sad when they discontinued it, even if it was a pretty niche thing at the time.

    I must have been one of about 3 people outside of Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Microsoft who'd ever bothered to try to build software on Itanium. [2]

    How many of the above phrases would elicit blank looks from newly-minted engineers and #CompSci people these days?

    [1] Meaning actual useful Hewlett Packard. The practically unrelated modern HP corporation can, of course, stick their overpriced, DRMed ink and toner in their paper-jam access holes.

    [2] a.k.a. "Itanic"

  6. I just bought #TestDrive Unlimited Solar Crown for $19.49. It is really cheap, thanks to all the negative reviews on Steam. This is a beautiful game that requires a good graphics card. My 4060 ti laptop can barely play it with less than 20 fps. But it is ok cause the beautiful scenery of #HongKong more than compensated for all the negatives of this game. This game still has some connectivity issues and it only has online mode. But hopefully the developers will fix everything soon. #gaming

  8. @mastodonmigration There’s only one reason to join Mastodon.social: to test if Mastodon is for you. If you’re still using Mastodon after two weeks, it’s time to move to an instance that aligns with your values. The whole idea behind Mastodon is decentralization. There should never be just one main instance.
