Just like seatbelts and backup cameras, autonomous driving systems should be mandatory in vehicles within the next 10 years.

Reason would indeed seem slanted compared to traditional liberal media, specifically as it relates to not regurgitating the DOJ’s narrative. Happy Reason subscriber here.

In Minecraft Java 1.19.1, a new chat mode was introduced that allowed chat messages in private servers to be reported. Supposedly, the messages were cryptographically signed by the sender and only signed messages could be reported. My guess

There is a scene in the book where, IIRC, a program is run periodically that counts the number of dinosaurs in each paddock based on some sort of dino-scanner. The program was written in such a way that it expected a certain number of dinos

Kind of like how we lament China banning Facebook and X (fka Twitter) and talk about how shameful it is to suppress free speech in the PRC but then simultaneously want to ban TikTok in the US.

TIL: AWS Account IDs are considered secrets. IMO, if a given value cannot be cycled, it is sensitive but not secret.

Similar things have happened in my ~12 year career which leads me to believe it is not as uncommon as your comment would portray it. The first instance I can recall, a developer was terminated and his access was revoked. He goes home, waits

The lesson here is that once an employee or contractor is terminated, you remove all access to internal infrastructure. That's it. That is the lesson.

Minor nitpick but the NSA does not employ agents, but rather analysts and (sometimes) operators. "Agents" in the IC sense are people that do your bidding, i.e. recruiting someone to insert a USB drive into a target device.

They build their own chips and have for some time now. My guess is they’re 10-15 years ahead of what’s publicly available.

Ah yes I remember the black Uber card. IIRC you got $50 annually for subscription services along with some other unheard of perks.

Reminder that lying to law enforcement is a federal crime. If one of the board members said something to the Government that they can prove is a lie, they’re likely criminally liable. The mere fact that they were talking to law enforcement

Even if Sam @ MSFT was a massive bluff, Satya is in a win-win-win scenario. OpenAI can't exactly continue doing anything without Azure Compute. OpenAI implodes? Bought the talent for virtually nothing. OpenAI 2.0 succeeds? Cool, stil

I think this is exactly what happened Thursday and Friday. Plus, Adam D'Angelo has a bit of a reputation[0] as being a backstabber. Continuing the saga over the weekend, you would assume that Ilya regrets the coup and can vote to re-ap

Surely the OpenAI developers know how to append `?shared=1` to Quora URLs.

> People like Sam and Satya expect people to be self-interested and not tear everything down. Bingo. I think there is also a factor of this being a non-profit board, where the board is not beholden to shareholders in the same way. For ex

Well typically 6% is split between the buyers agent and the sellers agent. And each agent has to kick up a percent to their broker. Most real estate agents I know working in the average market (I.e. not NYC or the Bay Area) are not clearing

Miami is a 2.5 hour flight direct from almost every major airport on the east coast. It is beautiful year round. Sorry, but I don't really want my face to hurt when I step outside December through March.

LOL. No. Miami is called the capital of South America. Hop off the plane at MIA in the American terminal and you will wonder whether you're in a foreign country. It's the furthest thing from a uni-dimensional city. Visit some time

Newspapers absolutely love the PERM stuff because they charge 5x the price. Larger publications that have self-serve job postings will specifically _not_ allow PERM ads without talking to a sales rep who will give you a substantially higher

Tesseract is the current best open source OCR library. When looking at the “best” prop solution, there are a few worth mentioning: - If you are looking for the best OCR to DOCX solution, ABBYY OCR SDK is the front runner. Their OCR engine i
