True but if Tesla keeps acting like they’re on the verge of an unsupervised, steering wheel-free system…this is more evidence that they’re not. I doubt we’ll see a cybercab with no controls for the next 10 years if the current tech is still ignoring large, highly predictable objects in the road.
It encourages self-reliance and fosters a sense of control. Sure everything in our lives is increasingly forced on us by corporations run by out of touch narcissists, but there’s at least one way we still can have control of our own.
X/Twitter has its own data centers, this is for physical equipment under X’s control. They need to get a judgment (which the article indicates they’re working on) before they can do anything. Presumably after months to years of litigation they can then repossess the servers, but then X would probably at the last minute pay the bill.
Well building battlemechs does seem like the obvious next step on Elon’s progression
It really comes down to feature removal. Elon annihilated Twitter’s staff, and the more features they can cut, the less staff they need. It may not seem like much to maintain a block feature, and if you have a staff, it’s not. But you do need to have probably some sort of blocker backend service, a blocking UI, probably an unblocking UI (I dunno if that’s a thing I don’t use twitter), storage that keeps track of who blocked who, and somebody who knows how all that works.
Musk has said that humans drive with only eyesight, so cars should be able to drive with just cameras.
This of course assumes 1) that cameras are just as good as eyes (they’re not) and 2) that the processing of visual data that the human brain does can be replicated by a machine, which seems highly dubious given that we only partially understand how humans process visual data to make decisions.
Finally, it assumes that the current rate of human-caused crashes is acceptable. Which it isn’t. We tolerate crashes because we can’t improve people without unrealistic expense. In an automated system, if a bit of additional hardware can significantly reduce crashes it’s irrational not to do it.
Organizational structure and membership of the Chamber of Commerce.
Just deleted Uber from my phone. If they’re gonna use my payments to turn around and lobby to keep me locked into subscriptions that don’t even involve them, I’m gonna be a lyft guy from now on.
Is it still fraud if no one falls for it?
So basically the wildest conspiracy theories about Twitter pre-Elon are true now, but in reverse
Question - assuming they are human controlled, how do these compare with bots created by competitors like Boston Dynamics?
It’s not illegal in the broke an actual government law sense, but it certainly violates every moral principle I’ve ever heard of. Instead of being generous and grateful for his wealth, the richest man has decided to buy the largest place where news is shared on the internet, fired almost all the employees primarily out of spite, and pirated the network for the sake of turning it into a propaganda platform for an attempted dictator who will make him even richer.
This is what cancel culture is made for. Not some comedian misspeaking. This.
It’s funny how this maps exactly onto the Hunter Biden files, except that everything Republicans lied about happening is now actually happening.
And unlike most kinds of chain mail, this one is also effective at protecting the user from any thrusting attacks that could lead to penetration.
Yeah but the other thing about humanity is it’s mostly harmless. Edits can be reverted, articles can be locked. Wikipedia will be fine.
The tip is also often pocketed by the owner because of the way a tipped wage works (basically if there aren’t enough tips to cover minimum wage, it’s as if you are tipping the owner), and also the payment provider (square or whatever) takes a cut of the tip and whatever fees too. Every dollar should be regarded as going to the owner and/or silicon valley billionaires no matter what, the whole notion of paying staff is smoke and mirrors.
I’m not sure if OP was intended as an ad or not, but I think we should have an informal rule that if a top post is about a product, we should all upvote the comment that has the worst fact about that product. It’s the only way to be sure.
Let’s be real, teenagers are always assholes. There’s a lot of social pressure for teens to be assholes. Look at any teen movie for example, the plot is pretty much always about how adults are wrong about everything and how freeing yourself to be more of an asshole (and generally louder in every way) is the way to go.
It’s overwhelmingly likely to be someone none of us have ever heard of. If nothing else because that’s the base rate. Also because someone nerdy enough to care about this stuff before cryptocurrency existed couldn’t possibly have a life.
I use it occasionally. Recently I used it to convert a written specification in a document to a java object. And it was like 95% correct - but having to manually double check everything and fix the errors eliminated much of the time savings.
However that’s a very ideal use case. Most often I forget it exists.
This doesn’t bode well for my typewriting monkey startup
