It's not a total black box. Even as the driver you have the speed profiles, follow distance, and speed limit settings. I wouldn't be surprised if they still have deterministic code for how to handle traffic lights.
> ODI has identified six Standing General Order ("SGO") reports in which a Tesla vehicle, operating with FSD engaged, approached an intersection with a red traffic signal, continued to travel into the intersection against the red light and was subsequently involved in a crash with other motor vehicles in the intersection. Of these incidents, four crashes resulted in one or more reported injuries. At least some of the incidents appeared to involve FSD proceeding into the intersection after coming to a complete stop.
I've experienced this bug on every FSD 13.x version, including the current 13.2.9. When you're the first to pull up to a red light, the car stops and waits, then after a while it sometimes (maybe 1 time in 100 or so) just decides to go even if the light is still red. Horrifying because sitting at a red light doesn't seem like a dangerous situation, but in fact it might be the most dangerous place on FSD right now. Hopefully this forces them to fix it because my colorful language on the voice feedback apparently hasn't convinced them.
If the theory is that if you do everything perfectly, you can reach the performance of a mediocre native app, then obviously most PWAs are going to suck and opinions will form accordingly.
I don't expect most drivers will miss the seat controls. Tesla syncs your seat settings to your profile, so the main drivers never touch the controls, just the passenger. But that's easy for me to say when I already know what driving one is like, this is yet another thing that makes Teslas and EVs intimidating to someone driving one for the first time. Otherwise it doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice for $5k. I like the glass roof but not that much.
I don't think I've ever appreciated a video player putting gradients above and below the controls or darkening the entire video when the controls are active. It's extremely annoying when you're trying to scrub through a video and read a particular bit of text. Why do UI designers from Apple to YouTube to Amazon think this is necessary?
The statistic is from ChatGPT consumer plans, so I don't think it says anything useful about enterprise adoption of LLM products or usage patterns in those enterprise contexts.
I don't read the article (besides the clickbait headline and the author's "take") as Tesla "giving up". No marketing is changing, no plans for taxi services are changing. This is about the company's famously captured board giving their beloved CEO flexibility on how to meet their ambitious-sounding targets, by using vague language in the definitions. This way if Tesla fails to hit 10 million $100/month FSD subscriptions, they could conceivably come up with a cheaper more limited subscription and get Elon his pay.
I can't see what you're talking about. In my account, in the General tab of Gmail settings on the web, under "Manage Workspace smart feature settings", I see a toggle for "Smart features in Google Workspace", followed by this paragraph:
>When you turn this setting on, you agree to let Google Workspace use your Workspace content and activity to personalize your experience across Workspace. Workspace includes apps for businesses and schools, such as Gmail, Chat, Meet, Drive, and more. To learn more, visit the Workspace website. Smart features include:
The setting for the listed features is above the "you agree to let Google Workspace use your Workspace content and activity to personalize your experience across Workspace" intro, not below. The setting below is for features in non-Workspace services.
I think you're getting confused here with app limitations vs platform limitations. YouTube Music not streaming without the paired phone on the same wifi is an app limitation: other music apps like Spotify work without it. Lacking a watch app (or having a bad watch app) probably never lost any non fitness company any customers. A good iPhone app is much more make or break.
I think the person you replied to was just mad their opinion was unpopular, but your comment really does seem excessively negative. All the new tech sucks? We just got tech that can write an email, code a simple program, and potentially more. We got laptops with battery life measured in days that generate almost no heat or noise. We’ve had some awesome advances in memory safe programming languages. All sorts of hacker friendly gadgets like 3D printers and Framework devices are available in more varieties and at lower prices than ever. Apple and Google are starting to ease up on some of their worst policies and give developers more options for revenue. You can criticize things you don’t like but saying it’s all or even mostly bad just seems completely wrong. I think one of the things that makes Reddit (and HN, and X, and some Discords and corners of YouTube) unappealing these days is the extreme toxic negativity about everything.
All I remember is that I had switched to the AOSP keyboard because the Onyx one was really bad, then someone who uses Android more told me I should try GBoard so I did that. Don't remember having to do anything special for setup so the bug must not have affected me. Hope you find a fix.
The point about playlist curation makes sense, it's a valid way to go about it. Another app that works well on e-ink is Plexamp, which can be used for a NAS-based library as a sort of middle ground. I've been down that road though and concluded that I do prefer streaming, particularly when it comes to keeping up with today's artists who like to do digital releases almost to the exclusion of anything else.
>I like to disconnect, I don't want to be tempted by apps.
Fair, but I was specifically addressing the people who want a device that fulfills the good/essential functions of a smartphone (messaging apps, GPS, music) with less app temptation. A cell modem is essential for that use case.
> temptation to take a picture
Hah, not really an issue for me. My friends are always complaining that I go on holiday for 2 weeks and come back with 2 photos. But that would be a consideration for those that have it and for the smooth back (the Palma 2's camera is almost flush but not quite). Depending on where you are in the world, having a camera may count as essential due to prevalence of QR codes. And the Palma 2's camera is so bad it usually can't read one from more than 6 inches away. Just really wanted to emphasize whatever it cost Boox to add a camera was completely wasted.
I've got a Palma 2 and I like it. It replaces the Kindle for me: fits in the pocket, more book apps, actual feed reader and read later apps, good for typing quick notes and using Anki. You can also use Terminus to ssh to a box in a pinch.
I would never think of daily driving it as a phone if it had a modem. The biggest dealbreaker is that streaming music is a pain on e-ink devices: all of the services except Apple Music (which doesn't support 2FA sign in on Android so it's useless to me) are dark mode only, and dark mode is the enemy on e-ink. Another problem is that the camera is pre smartphone level, it's really bad and with e-ink it's harder to see if the focus is good. And of course, it's running an obsolete version of Android and is continuously phoning home to China, so you probably don't want any important data on it. But as an e-reader, I strongly prefer it to the walled garden tablets.
I only felt the need to leave a grumpy comment because of the word “credential”, so deleting it might help even if it leaves ambiguity. Otherwise maybe something like “attacker in the middle any site’s passkey authentication using browser intents” sounds more accurate.
Sure, if you assume the session is scoped to allow registering a new passkey. Depends on how the application is configured. Regardless, getting the credential is different from getting a session.
Completely agree that dropping the tariffs on Chinese EVs instead would be the sensible move. Turning EVs into a culture war effigy was a horrible development for the future of the planet when the right did it, and it's no different now that the left is getting in on it. We have a technology that would be a key part of switching to clean energy, and should be doing everything possible to embrace it, but the political class has turned it into a football for their culture war game instead. Depressing stuff.
Optional app sandboxing that does what you're talking about already exists on every major OS, disregarding Linux distributions that don't have Flatpak. Seems to me it's less a UX problem and more cultural: a critical mass of developers take the easy way and users learn to ignore the alerts. Android has the same problem with the "all files access" permission. The one platform where this works, iOS, has a totalitarian ruler that requires all apps to be sandboxed and not request gratuitous permissions.
To really get around the culture problem you would need an OS that lacks the concept of undeclared data sharing between different packages.
I've moved to using systemwide Adguard on my home PCs and Macs. It's not a solution for work devices (my employer doesn't have ads on internal websites so this is not much of an issue), but it frees me from worrying about browser APIs and having to copy my custom filters to every single browser I want to use.
I think "power steering assist" here is another technical term that misleads people who aren't car nerds. It's not some kind of lane assist feature, it's the system that makes the steering wheel easy to turn at low speeds. Anyone who's used to driving cars built after 1950 or so would not consider it an optional feature.
Grok 2's per-token prices are similar to GPT-4o, but since Grok tends to write longer responses than others, it can be significantly more expensive to use depending on the task. If xAI prices Grok 3 to compete with o1, not everyone is going to be lining up to use it even if it's a bit better than the competition. If that's how it goes, I'll be interested in the pricing for Grok 3 mini.
>While applicable to all audiences, this guidance specifically addresses “highly targeted” individuals who are in senior government or senior political positions and likely to possess information of interest to [PRC-affiliated threat actors who hacked telecom networks].
Most people are never going to be targeted by intercepts or even by SIM swaps, and would still be just as vulnerable to phishing if they switched to TOTP. If you want better protection, hardware authenticators and passkeys are the best options.
The phishing resistance isn't that straightforward in practice. It requires using browser extensions, which some people avoid for understandable reasons (poor security track record compared to everything else about password managers, and some of them just aren't very good). Many services use multiple domains (my bank has a .com, a .org, and several third-party vendor domains where you might be expected to enter your credentials), so many people who don't know how to update their password manager entries are probably in the habit of manually copying info into places where it doesn't autofill. And speaking of places where it doesn't autofill, the vast majority of mobile app developers seem to be unaware of things like autofill hints for login fields and apple-app-site-association.
You don't need exploits to remotely access and run commands on other systems, steal admin passwords, and destroy data. All the tools to do that are built into Windows. A large part of why security teams like EDR is that it gives them the data to detect abuse of built-in tools and automatically intervene.
The Image Playground demos contrast pretty strongly, in a bad way, with how image generation startups like Stability typically emphasize scifi landscapes and macro images in their marketing material. We're more open to strange color palettes and overly glossy looking surfaces in those types of images, so they're a good fit for current models that can run on smaller GPUs. Apple's examples of real people and places, on the other hand, look like they're deep in uncanny valley and I'm shocked anyone wanted them in a press release. More than any other feature announced today, that felt like they just got on the hype bandwagon and shipped image generation features to please AI-hungry investors, not create anything real people want to use.
> According to an email first reported by The Information and then Electrek, the automaker’s senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci is leaving the company on Tuesday, alongside most of the 500-person team she oversaw.
Every EV manufacturer in the American market just committed to using Tesla's charging plug, so that their customers would have access to the reliable charging network, and now suddenly Tesla is cutting most of the people working on their charging network?
Not sure what you're on about, it has nothing to do with being anti-American or not. Twitter is where everyone in Japanese creative industries posts about their work (unlike the West that didn't change when Musk bought the site), it's where the Japanese audience is, and it doesn't hurt that the global audience is there too.
But sure, if you want examples of this trend try searching Pixiv by title for stuff like "twitterまとめ" [1], " or "Xまとめ" [2], meaning a usually monthly compilation of illustrations that were posted to Twitter first. And that doesn't even get into the artists that stopped using Pixiv completely because they got bored of it or their account was banned.
I could see this being really bad for the site. A lot of Japanese illustrators were already treating it as an afterthought compared to X/Twitter, and if the new terms actively make Pixiv worse for artists in the rest of the world then its importance could decline even further.
