I am so, so tired of Tesla's claims that FSD is "multiple times safer than humans" when the data they base these claims on are basically people using FSD in a totally safe environment which made them use FSD in the first place (mostly long straight highways).

Anyone trying FSD in a crowded city environment would shit their pants. Unprotected lefts are very often a mess, and interventions are legion. It is really a breath of fresh air to hear news outlets report finally about the actual state of the technology.

If you love SimCity 3k/4 music, it is made by Jerry Martin and saxophonist Marc Russo.

A few great links for you: http://jerrymartinmusic.com/music_demo.php On this demo page website, you can find some original jazz samples not included in SC3k even though they are quite amazing

http://boombamboom.com/ Some website Jerry Martin opened a few years ago where you can download high-quality music from the games he worked on (Sims, Sim City etc)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1467440/SimCasino_Soundtr... Sim Casino is a way more recent game, and Jerry Martin / Marc Russo came back together to write the OST! It has a lot of feels from SC3k/SC4 music, so you might want to look into it.

You can also find one of their interviews here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1158420/view/4689895...

As you can see I am quite the fan... :-)

Memories! :-) I was a web developer in the 2000s and I can relate to all of these very accurately… Replace Frontpage 98 by Frontpage 2003 and there you go!

Did they just compare a desktop running native x86 code to results of translated code using Rosetta 2 in MacOS/M1?

Absolutely. I don’t know what this tool is about, but the README statement is wrong; I can’t think of any distribution dumb enough to use performance governor by default. Most Intel-based platforms use Intel-specific governors.

I developed an energy-aware DVFS controller for HPC clusters a few years back, and there was no such thing as performance by default even on compute nodes.

I am sorry if this is off-topic, but is this board running phpBB2 from 15 years ago? I have used most versions of phpBB until 2015, they all came with so many security holes, I have been hacked so many times because of it, how is this board still up and running!?

Opinion: Your Dog Feels as Guilty as She Looks

Science does not need opinions. The question is worth asking, but this article does not seem to be backed by any kind of research or experiments.

You are right. The 2017 election in France was under the spotlight especially after what happened in 2016 in the US and the Brexit in the UK.

EM! (Macron's party) was a victim of massive internet attacks during the campaign. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/ne...

In the past couple of weeks, I have seen French fake posts that were popular in the past 24 months raise again like an army of Phoenix. As far as media go, we have usually and relatively independent media in France, even public. However, foreign entities and especially RT France have been controversial in some of their coverage.

Isn't Reddit allowed on iOS?

Do you know if the rewrite happens before a user clicks a link? If it happens after, the data ends up actually being sent out to their server...
