Level 2 autonomy is indeed sufficient for this. And where not, insurance steps in. I mean, level 2 is great stuff, wonderful progress. Nowhere near actual autonomous vehicles though: "works well until it suddenly doesn't, and th

Definitions are here: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto... I'd guess the law doesn't require this distinction to be reported, so it isn't :( In my opinion - even from tha

In other words, all that "level 9000 autonomy" is just "rent a remote chaffeur" plus marketing.

In other words, 2025-01-01T00:00+02:00 was NOT Europe/Paris (as it was CET at that time, GMT+1), 2024-08-01T00:00+02:00 could have been Europe/Paris (CEST, GMT+2), 2030-08-01T00:00+02:00 may be Europe/Paris (CEST, GMT+2), or

Yesterday's "oops we bricked it remotely, no user interaction required" definitely doesn't inspire confidence - even though it was not intentional and was since fixed.

You may not like the site, but it works (sorta, kinda, not perfectly).

Costs money. (Probably not a lot, but you know the drill: to a large company, any expense is treated as a threat, no matter how small.)

- standard-compliant - with SuperSpeed implemented - note that all components need to be compliant (macbook, cable, toothbrush) That's a lot of if s just to charge a toothbrush. I would be greatly surprised if someone actually did (ye

It's even simpler, I think: you're forcing it to avoid a PD negotiation, and fall back to the lowest common denominator, "500 mA on the PWR line supplied to the USB device". This goes, I believe, as far back as USB 1.1,

I thought that AI would replace them. Oh wait!

- Which might be a different matter: of specifically SE declining. (A very different, and long-running, tragedy, but one that began long before the current AI boom and prompted by very different, non-technical issues.) - That said, surely

Might correlate with ability. Which - let's be honest - gets rounded down to " is caused by inability ", just in the next step, in the name of Efficient Hiring Process.

It can be read the opposite way: "don't reinvent wheels unless/until they're essential to your goal". Selling physical stuff? Perhaps the exact configuration for the eshop's nginx is not essential (yet). Maki

We aren't. LLMs may have been useful for a moment in time, before the trick "it's now MY OWN creation, no IP strings attached - when it comes through the plagiarism machine" became apparent, and before the models sta

RIP Elaine Herzberg. Somehow , as in handwave: "Unless everything is equipped with a correctly working, charged and network-connected tracker, it has no business being on a road." Well good luck with that, outside of a fully inst

Ooooor maybe, testing if the experiments are similar to what was in the corpus.

Pretty sure that the multi-modal wireless mice (think Logitech MX Master) have a firmware for the mouse and a firmware for the receiver. (how I know: I managed to softbrick one - and reflash to working condition.)

"It sorta kinda works, most of the time, when it doesn't, Retry Reboot Reinstall^W^W, and if it's still broken, you're SOL - and thats by-design, we're not fixing the product." The word you're looking for

That might have some use cases. I may not be the target audience, but I could see it. What I was trying to say is "a mouse button that opens up a hardcoded window!!!!" was all the hype in 1998, all it takes now is to retitle the w

It always circles back to "follow the money": - the system could theoretically trace the inputs, but then IP lawyers would eat company alive; pretending the corpus isn't pirated, so it can be cheap. - the system could verify

Can you actually test a component that is, by design, a black box? ("by design" of the current models. Yes, the systems could be re-made traceable. But then it would also turn out on how much pirated material the LLM has trained

That's a misparse, I think: "We are very proud of the results of this work and want to share it" They want to share the work, not the results (otherwise the sentence would be "we want to share THEM").

It's a doorstop, not a fix. Useful nonetheless.

It should trigger fail2ban, that's for sure. Alerting is useless, with the volume of automated exploits attempted.

Oh, cool. That's a decade ago, though - technology must have progressed, surely.

Yes. IIRC there were some eavesdropping cases where sound was read from a fairly remote glass pane.

Progress is in the eye of the beholder. Case in point: Fiddler. A debugging HTTP proxy, originally a one-man-show; the Classic version is still amongst the most powerful tools out there. Except...well...there's no way to monetize it. S

That's the parasitic equilibrium: "try to take too much - oops, now you killed yourself by becoming too much of a nuisance."
