"The advisory placed much of the blame on Versa customers who “failed to implement system hardening and firewall guidelines…leaving a management port exposed on the internet that provided the threat actors with initial access.”" I

I don't like the "post truth" trends in politics either, but I don't think there was ever a time when treating "news outlets" as "truth" was actually a good strategy. They've always had biases,

Among other downsides, spraying sulphur in the atmosphere doesn't remove any Carbon at all. It just tries to balance one pollutant out with another. I'd rather have the sunshade, honestly. I'm not a physical scientist, but I&

I'm continually surprised that this idea gets so much traction. While possible to build, it's also strictly Temporary and just leaves us with a worse problem later on. We'll just need a bigger one, 20 years down the line, whe

Right, it seems incorrect to claim that "The model can generate text that it couldn’t possibly have seen in the training data" when it's been trained on all manner of humans writing about all manner of things. It seems likely

Couldn't we say the same about any public subsidy for climate-friendly technology (or anything at all)? What makes Nuclear special, and worth singling out?

Yes, the annoying things Cruise do are intended to prevent Unsafe things. But remember the context here: the DMV just yanked the permit because they don't believe these cars are safe. In their eyes, the new dangers introduced outweigh

I didn't realize the average was so high, but looked it up and confirmed. Still feels like "a LOT" when I finally get home, and I also don't know anyone personally who drives nearly this much. Probably biased by my livin

Cruise and Waymo are the only two fully automated services I encounter. There might be others in other cities, but I can't comment. I have all sorts of thoughts on the quality of driver assist from various manufacturers, but that&#x2

Yes, this is a difficult problem. When I do see the 1%ers changing lanes at 90mph without blinkers, or not using headlights; I long for stricter, automated enforcement. Points, then a suspended license. But I also recognize that many people

I'm fortunate in that I can usually avoid rush hour(s) and have a fairly normal experience. Most of the milage is out on the big highways, away from Bay traffic. Within the city it's fine, as far as city driving goes. Modern vehic

Eyes and ears open in the city... I think a lot of humans would have spared the skater too. Waymo vehicles impress me, I've seen them perform skillfully like you describe.

by Lonestar1440 3y ago
Yes, Humans are flawed drivers. But that makes them an Excellent baseline, because the last thing we want to do is make things even worse. I've observed all the things you did (in fact, all of them on Sunday). But I don't do a

From my perspective as a person who lives in San Francisco and also drives a LOT (10-20k miles per year, and many small drives within the city): Cruise cars do not perform acceptably. They manage to avoid collisions by driving extremely con

From my perspective as an SF resident, it truly does not exist here. We have some interesting experiments (Cruise, Waymo) wandering around (a subset of) our streets, but they simply can't drive nearly as well as 98% of humans. They ach

I never quite understood what all the Registers and Interrupts and Instructions inside the computer did until I read Code ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44882.Code ). I feel like I finished the book with a ve

They expected the gambles to pay off, and faster than customers started withdrawing en masse. Reminds me a lot of AIG's sketchy Securities Lending back before 2008.

You give the viewpoint, I'll give the Black person who espouses it. What's #1?

by Lonestar1440 4y ago
You quite obviously can. For what idea can you not find a person with Black skin who supports it? You've got Black centre-rightists like me, Far Rightists like Clarence Thomas, Barack Obama in the middle, and quite a range of voices on

Don't you think that this discredits the environment movement in the eyes of at least a few "Uninterested"'s? Nothing's free in this world.

I think that a world with 2d of warming AND damaged paintings is clearly worse than one with 2d of warming AND NOT damaged paintings. I see this fundamental flaw in reasoning frequently in "Activist" culture. Desiring that The Act

by Lonestar1440 4y ago
These activists certainly manage to keep themselves in the headlines. I'm not convinced that they actually get anyone incrementally interested in the underlying Global Warming issue, much less induce any change.

Airbnb and hotels both have their place. Airbnb is at it's best in spots like coastal California where a place with outdoor space, cute decor, and a kitchen is really nice AND you can always go to a Holiday Inn off the 101 if things go

It just doesn't seem worth the hassle given the unique account with weird sign-up process, low maximum investment, and lock up period. Like it's a theoretically optimal way to invest $10k that won't be needed in the short ter
