Yeah my kids are 1/8 and I encouraged them to learn about that part of their heritage but no, they’re just American.

I don’t give access to the app. I choose what is exposed to HomeKit and what is exposed to Alexa

To be fair, it’s a huge cost to the company and they need to justify that there is value. Forcing you to make regular use may be an petty, but getting you to learn it improves your skill base and getting you to use it justifies the cost

It doesn’t reuse code that already exists in the project

I had a pissing contest with one of the junior guys over this. He didn’t seem to understand why we should use the existing function and had learned so little about the code base that he didn’t know where to find it. He’s gone

The more interesting flaw in his ai code was it hallucinated an entirely different mocking tool for unit tests

I think of ai more as an enhanced autocomplete. Instead of autocompleting function calls, it can autocomplete entire lines.

Unit tests are fairly repetitive, so it does a decent job of autocompleting those, needing only minor corrections

I’m still up in the air over regexes. It does generate something but I’m not sure it adds value

I haven’t had much success with the results of generating larger sections of code

And how did it compare self-driving time or miles? Because on the surface if Tesla is responsible for 5 such accidents and Ford zero, but Tesla has significantly more than five times the self-driving time or miles, then we just don’t have data yet …… and I see an announcement that Ford expects full self driving in 2026, so it can’t have been used much yet

Why not? It’s got multiple cameras so could judge distances the same way humans do.

However there have been both hardware and software updates since most of those, so the critical question is how much of a problem is it still? The article had no info or speculation on that

Same goes for the other vehicles. They didn’t even try to cover miles driven and it’s quite likely Tesla has far more miles of self-driving than anyone else.

I’d even go so far as to speculate the zero accidents of other self-driving vehicles could just be zero information because we don’t have enough information to call it zero

In this case, does it matter? Both are supposed to follow a vehicle at a safe distance

I’d be more interested in how it changes over time, as new software is pushed. While it’s important that know it had problems judging distance to a motorcycle, it’s more important to know whether it still does

If we want to cherry pick …. Here in the US, i switched over to gigabit symmetrical over pandemic, but fiber has been available from three providers at that speed over a decade. Of course IPv6 has been “in progress” for that decade, with no sign of progress

I’m not entirely sure what this style even is - wouldn’t this same argument apply to Apple’s “Memoji” that has been out a few years?

You can dislike pedophiles and dog hunter yet still recognize some asshole doing it out of inflamed self-righteousness with no regard for evidence, human rights, due process is not the right solution. If even the legal system with all its checks and balances gets things wrong so often, what can you expect from some asshole out for blood?

The criminal justice system is meant to not only seek justice for victims, keep us safe from predation…… well yes vigilantism is another form of predation. Their self-righteousness doesn’t absolve their guilt. Heck, at least most pedophiles don’t try to defend themselves as doing their job right thing

Vigilantism is just a sign that government has become too corrupt to deal with problems effectively.

Or a sign that government is the problem as politicians resort more to divisiveness, hatred, bigotry and scapegoating to capture more extreme voters. Politicians stoke the outrage, inflame some groups against others, call for ending the rights of those they’ve marginalized, and even pardon those who committed treason in the name of fake vigilantism, based on manipulation and misrepresentation

I have taken calls while loading my dryer, and it’s fucking stupid to not wait. I took advantage of advanced technology called a “pocket” to carry my “mobile” device

As a techno-optimist, I always expected self-driving to quickly become safer than human, at least in relatively controlled situations. However I’m at least as much a pessimist of human nature and the legal system.

Given self-driving vehicles demonstrably safer than human, but not perfect, how can we get beyond humans taking advantage, and massive liability for the remaining accidents?

We don’t need no friends, allies or influence when we can be bullying, a child’s concept of tough, looking up to other dictators like Putin and Erdogan. Im sure all it will take is loud threats of widespread tariffs and a stable Genius who’s “great” at deals.

“Coincidentally” Apple might make sizable bribes independent donations to support the free and open re-election of The fuhrer

From an engineer at one of the legacy car manufacturers, they don’t want CarPlay 2 because it has privacy controls. They don’t want to give up so much access to the car, then have to access it over Apple APIs limited by privacy controls

I imagine there’s a significant chunk of users who don’t know or care how to properly open their server up to the world and are relying on the Plex proxies

That seems like the obvious place to put a subscription that won’t get people upset. Or maybe it’s in the presentation.

When HomeAssistant started a subscription, they renewed their commitment to opensource, added new remote features with obvious costs under subscription while still letting you do it yourself, plus made it clear this funded continued opensource development. I happily pay this and haven’t been disappointed. Did Plex fumble a similar opportunity?
