That’s actually cool they have that ability. I’ve always been a huge fan of USDS, I think they just got massively supercharged, and look forward to watching them achieve this mission.
FOSS owes you literally nothing. Go build what you want for yourself, geez. Oh, and feel free to give it away to the world… OR NOT!
They do hallucinate at times, but you’re missing a lot of real utility by claiming they are basically bullshit engines.
They can now use tools, and maintain internal consistency over long context windows (with both text and video). They can iterate fully autonomously on software development by building, testing, and bug fixing on real world problems producing usable & functioning code.
There’s a reason Microsoft is putting $80 billion dollars on the line to run LLMs. It’s not because they are full of shit!
The law won’t reduce smartphone ewaste. It will just satisfy the people who want removable batteries over sleaker design.
The battery is serviceable and it can be done quite easily and cheaply. In fact it’s done billions of times over.
Really just nanny state regulation, which as typical, will not bring any benefit and impose tremendous compliance costs and actually make some products worse.
Just look at their market value and it says everything you need to know about how much “better” AMD is than NVIDIA.
Ask your agent to convert the URL to markdown, and read it in VS Code or whereever.
Tesla is so far ahead when it comes to these things (48V architecture), there literally is no other source in this case.
Software is only as insecure as the user’s willingness to expose it to untrusted inputs, combined with the user’s willingness to give the software unfettered access to sensitive data.
“Don’t let hackers control the input stream” is literally the end of any and all security issues.
Under this law, consumers can claim compensation for damages caused by defective products without having to prove the vendor was negligent or irresponsible. In addition to personal injury or property damages, for software products, damages may be awarded for the loss or destruction of data. Rather than define a minimum software development standard, the directive sets what we regard as the highest possible bar. Software makers can avoid liability if they prove a defect was not discoverable given the “objective state of scientific and technical knowledge” at the time the product was put on the market.
Look the the liability standard they are pushing! Not willful negligence, not reasonable care, but rather it sounds more akin to “could the bug have even theoretically been prevented given perfect information and unlimited funds”.
Yeah, no thanks, I’m human, so I won’t be accepting that level of liability for words I write into a text editor any time soon.
And kinda mind boggling that anyone who knows anything about how software actually works wouldn’t see this as completely batshit insane.
A more reasonable standard (malicious intent or reckless disregard for human safety would be a good starting point) would go a long way toward fixing this.
This current standard would get any developer sued out of existence by armies of AI lawyers long before you can ship a patch when someone complains that your software divide by zero bug caused them “damages”.
And get a load of this;
Burden of proof: When the injured consumer is faced with excessive difficulties to prove the defectiveness of the product or the causal link between its defectiveness and the damage, a court may decide that the claimant is only required to prove the likelihood that the product was defective or that its defectiveness is a likely cause of the damage.
There’s a reason why EU GDP has completed stagnated versus the US, and the EU tech sector is a virtual rounding error in the world… and this trash mentality is a big part of it.
But wait, it gets worse…
Circular economy: When a product is repaired and upgraded outside the original manufacturer’s control, the company or person that modified the product should be held liable.
Bye bye downstream distro patches! And knowing the EU, they’ll say that “import Foo from Bar as MyFoo” is a “modification” and try to make anyone with cash in their pocket liable for any bug in any dependency they link to…
Online platforms can be held liable for a defective product sold on their platform just like any other economic operators if they act like one.
Bye bye app stores! Of course some will probably cheer this blindly ignoring or not comprehending the extraordinary value creation app stores are responsible for.
So this seems like a really great way to stop any software from being released into Europe.
ChatGPT says each launch burns 1,200 tons of methane which results in 3,300 tons of CO2.
So 1,000 starship launches means the same CO2 as about 600,000 cars driving for a year.
Given that there are something like 275 million cars on the road in just the USA, this would equate to approximately 0.25% of CO2 produced by cars.
Considering the safety and prosperity that can be brought online from 1,000 launches / 150,000 tons in orbit, that’s the deal of the century.
Debris is an absolutely non-issue.
I like the “balance” where every human has high speed internet and mobile connectivity everywhere on the planet.
The level of human safety and prosperity brought about by this level of access to outer space is beyond incredible. There is zero environmental downside, only Luddite foot stomping.
You cannot eat on the bus. You cannot bring your grocery bags on the bus. You cannot bring your pets on the bus.
Also, there’s the fact you have to sit with (and smell) 99 other people. Some of them you may find are mentally unstable shitbags that will possibly assault you.
No thanks.
A “recall” that does actually involve bringing the car in for service, a.k.a. recalling the car, is not accurately described as a “recall”. Words mean something.
The NHTSA is being idiotic (unsurprisingly) in not distinguishing between a software update and a recall, because legacy auto doesn’t have the software chops to successfully replicate Tesla’s approach.
News agencies that lean into that idiocy in a slanted attempt to denigrate Tesla are only denigrating themselves. It is not good coverage, and it is willfully misleading their own readers.
Call it a mandatory update if you want. But nothing was recalled, so insisting on calling it a recall is like insisting on calling cars “horseless carriages”.
Tesla will apparently be selling it for $30k before the end of 2016.
I’m super curious about the induction charging rate! The robot they showed cleaning it was also pretty interesting.
And you are honestly asking if they thought to maybe try heating it up?
