I thought for sure this was eBoy at first. The style is similar and eBoy has been around forever but looks like it’s just someone else who is really good at this stuff.
I also have my own tricky benchmark that up til now only Deepseek has been able to answer. Gemini 3 Pro was the second. Every other LLM fail horribly. This is the main reason I started looking at G3pro more seriously.
Motion is 100% better on Plasma because OLED's are just a stuttering mess at 24p because of instant response time. People love OLED blacks but the stuttering makes all of them look like total ass.
Deepseek is owned by a Chinese hedge fund. It was originally created for finance and then generalized later. In any case you pay for it like any other LLM.
I work at a F50 company and Deepseek is one of the model that has been approved for use. Took them a bit to get it all in place but it's certainly being used in Megacorps.
>Take out the cellular modem? Next one requires connectivity to drive the car and so forth.
Find the cellular antenna and replace it with a dummy load. The car will think it's sending the data just fine but all it's doing is turning radio waves into heat.
And so on and so forth up until it’s just not worth the hassle as it even is today for most people. This isn’t a good problem to be solved with hacking. It’s a public policy problem.
Public policy is failing at the moment, so you have to take matters into your own hands. If enough people do this, then it will effectively become public policy. Inaction is not a solution.
I personally am, but there's only so much I can do. I am involved in our regional planning commission for transportation, and routinely write letters and call my representatives. I may donate some money to some of our local transportation organizations, but I'm not sure that's a good use of money yet so I haven't.
I agree with you in general though that public policy is failing. Specifically it's failing here where we continue to engage in and direct poor public policy positions because the government is very entrenched and addicted to spending taxpayer dollars. Asking the public to continue to play a catch up game of voiding their car warranty instead of actually solving the problem via policy is, in my view, simply not going to work.
The modem is usually in the sharkfin with the XM radio chipset and GPS. If you can unplug it at the sharkfin that's usually the best course of action. Some cars may bark at you, but mine just says it can't detect GPS if I attempt to use it (which I never use anyway).
Wouldn't it be better to connect resistive pigtails to the antenna connectors on the board? A little more work to get to, but less risk to damaging paint and weather seals, and would do a better job preventing signal leakage. I'm no expert on such things, but will definitely be looking at something like that for the next car I buy.
Not sure what you mean, the antennas are on the sharkfin board and you get to it from under the headliner not from the top of the car. It's much easier just to disconnect the cable that goes to the sharkfin than actually removing the entire module in the sharkfin.
This is just part of working in art and design. 90% of all my design work never made it to production. It’s the epitome of “the journey is the reward”. You need to find your satisfaction in doing the work not getting it released or you won’t last long.
