Unfortunately I can no longer take any official communication from my government at face value. They have lost my trust that they are operating as directed by the letter of the law without fear nor favor.

Not sure if it’s using the same FSD decision matrix but my model S chimed at me to drive into the intersection while sitting at a red light Last night with absolutely zero possibility it saw a green light anywhere in the intersection.

Perfectly isn’t a descriptor I would use. But this is just anecdotal.

Having handed over control of my vehicles to FSD many times, I’ve yet to come away from the experience feeling that my vehicle was operating in a safer regime for the general public than within my own control.

Something like 400 people just died because of a claim about nuclear weapons which is not backed up by evidence. Claims that have been echoed for decades…

Purportedly 400 people just died… Was it because a sovereign country wants to have Nuclear power? Maybe? Maybe not? Was it because Israel already has Nukes? Who knows… But it’s not a simple end of story situation unless lives have no value.

Model Control Protocol is not Model Context Protocol. We might be suffering from too many acronyms. (Just to be clearer, I think you’re referencing on the wrong MCP)

Where positive impact is purely defined as a reduction in investment on public initiatives and ignoring the much more complicated returns those investments may have produced both fiscally and socially.

I’m sure the 30k is below cost assuming Tesla makes some revenue on the taxi service over the lifetime of the vehicle.

The vehicle decided to go into oncoming traffic to clear a light change?! What type of an excuse is that. The vehicle should not have been in an intersection it is unable to clear.

As much as the headline leads to satirization, I think this is a good thing. I’d much rather have someone who’s leading the forefront of a technical innovation on the board than not. At least they can participate and inform the board what is being done and what isn’t being done. What can be changed and what we don’t yet have the tools to do.

A board that has Sam Altman on it is going to be much better able to craft safety guidance for the use and misuse of AI than a board that doesn’t have access to such a domain expert.

Just, you know, don’t give him veto power.

There’s a sentiment which isn’t really being expressed here so far.

I don’t begrudge people who are less fortunate and need help.

I don’t enjoy my food any less because someone who is hungry can get free food from a food bank.

There are so many ways that the government has helped the more successful. I for one was a beneficiary of PPP loan forgiveness (not by my choice but an election of my managing partner).

This attempts to balance the scales of what type of support people get who are going through different situations and at different times with different needs isn’t particularly productive. It might feel good in some self centered bitter way, but it doesn’t speak to whether this is a policy measure that has a positive effect on many people and is a net benefit to the economy as a whole.

“OpenTofu Project was recently made aware of a letter by HashiCorp’s lawyers, alleging that OpenTofu was not respecting the terms of its BSL license governing its Terraform codebase.

OpenTofu vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that it misappropriated, mis-sourced, or otherwise misused HashiCorp’s BSL code.

Indeed, it seems that HashiCorp may be conflating code that it had previously been open-sourced under the MPL and more recently developed code it published under the BSL.

OpenTofu’s maintainers have investigated this matter, and intends to issue a written response providing a more detailed explanation of its position in the coming days.”

Having worked at Facebook, albeit a long time ago. It’s far more likely that a conflict of events caused a false positive of an Automated spam system than Facebook giving a crap about privacy campaigns that hurt revenue.

But alas, we humans love our conspiracy theories because they tell a more interesting story.

I’m running and finishing missions daily. There are bugs, yes, but it is imminently playable.
