As I wrote, the article is where to go to find the circumstances. Neither the original nor I gave the circumstances; my comment gave a counterpoint to Tesla’s assertion about fault.

If someone wants the circumstances they should read the article, not Tesla’s press release. Here’s what the jury said: … while McGee was two-thirds responsible for the crash, Tesla also bore a third of the responsibility for selling a vehic

Per-usage pricing discourages use which limits how critical a service can be to your life or workflow. These companies want you to rely on the service such that you’ll pay the price. One customer might use it once a day and find the price r

You can do it today with the action button and various apps (including OpenAI). And I believe you could do it a year ago as well.

Of the companies mentioned I believe apple is the only one that does not provide their own chat bot. If they aren’t opening an interface for open ended interaction with their AI tools I think your concern is much less relevant. I’m curious

Following this logic, there would be no remedy for these issues at all until the police and courts are successfully reformed. Which means much more continued harm done.

Scroll hijacking to update animation states is always an exercise in frustration on the phone. Quick swipe down and now I’ve moved between 5 different states. Some kind of accordance for these states and a kind of “detent” on each would go

Font files are based on the original “font”, which was a drawer of metal type. Metal type size was based on the full piece of metal which was sized based on the full extent of the typeface, including capitals, ascenders and descenders. When

Two reasons come to mind. 1. AI hype is the hottest it will ever be, better to sell into as many industries as you can now while everyone is excited about it. 2. There are a lot of unknowns as to what these tools will be best at, or which w

1. Software issues are not merely technical, they’re human. Someone has to care about the issue and prioritize it and get it fixed. 2. Many products don’t compete on software because there are more substantive market forces at play. AI won

His patronizing tone to the defendants is the one thing I can’t stand about him. Telling some kid who did nothing wrong and was pulled over for no reason “be careful” is bs. What else should the kid do? They already were doing nothing wrong

Is your question what’s the positive effect of an unaccountable and violent police force? In general the effect is continued terrorization of poor and black and brown communities and the entrenchment of the police’s municipal power. This is

Israel is currently paying contractors 5000 shekels per house they destroy in Gaza. Is this a “reality of war”? Complete destruction of infrastructure? Perhaps every uninhabited house is actually Hamas. If this isn’t ethnic cleansing, what
