This is misunderstanding what the feature is for. The point wasn't to architect a "capabilities-based system" from scratch (see LSM/selinux/apparmor for work in that space). It was to split up the very practical s

Because it fundamentally is just a laptop battery. The job of the 12V bootstrap battery is to bring the main control hardware (not even the MCU, I don't think) online so that the DC/DC converter can power the 12V bus from the mai

"Regenerative braking" is a feature implemented by the drive motor and controller, it's got nothing to to with the brakes. Again, Tesla brakes are very conventional hydraulic devices and they work (and fail) like brakes in an

Tesla brakes are conventional. Yes, the driver has to push harder if the hydraulics fail, same as any car. There's nothing unique to the failure here, normal cars run their boosters off of the power train too (via belts or vacuum usu

You're arguing at the wrong side of the problem. Obviously yes, everyone can't be a perfect expert on everything and when doing anything complicated you should ask for help. Duh, as it were. I think I even said as much. The poi

Not to engage with the hyperbole angle here, but just to call out the spin in the headling: Tesla has shipped 8 million cars total. Maybe 70% of them (including mine) have the HW3 computer that the article claims won't do FSD. Of tho

DHCP can only tell you who the local DNS server is. That's not what's failed, nor what needs human configuration. At the top of the stack someone needs to say "This is the cluster that controls boot storage", "This

It's "DNS" because the problem is that at the very top of the abstraction hierarchy in any system is a bit of manual configuration . As it happens, that naturally maps to the bootstrapping process on hardware needing to know

First, I'm an atheist. I'm on your side. But as a practical matter, I'll point out that trying to ban the interpretation held by the three billion or whatever practicing christians on the planet is a better way to end up as

Come on. Extremely mildly down-sloping if at all, and without anything like an inflection point that would justify "WTF Happened in 2007?" You can't do this like this. I mean, you sort of can if the effect is big enough (

"The bible is not a matter of interpretation" is literally, literally how you end up in religious wars. Seriously?

Again, distinguishing "advocacy" as your criteria for censorship is censoring on interpretation . I know you are sincere in your opinions about this, they won't change, and I even share them. They are still our opinions. W

For a sufficiently loose definition of "would simply just", yes. Handwaving away the idea of actually building the thing you think you understand as unimportant is exactly why philosophy is failing us in this moment.

That is exactly the bad analysis I was calling out. If you take a data set and point out (while squinting) that it appears maybe to be turning down in the last two data points, any reasonable analyst should point out that those look like ro

Also worth noting that a lot of the graphs (the ACT scores in particular) are constructed to show a downward trend but really seem to be measuring the COVID pandemic more directly.
