The US military/intelligence apparatus is so large it wouldn't surprise me if this is yet another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is up to. Or maybe they had a vague idea, considering they didn't even attempt to shoot them down. Going off the nonchalant response, this is probably not the first time UAVs have flown over their ships. Except this time it was unplanned, and so kicked off an investigation.

I'm getting UFO crank vibes from both authors social media. Also no mention of request for comment from any official in the reporting. Just building a narrative from a selective release of FIOA requests.

Nice.

At the very least you should be required to put a visual sign that your vehicle is in "FSD" mode. Sort of like how we require "oversize load" signs so that others can take extra precautions around those vehicles.

That's probably part of the calculus, but mainly it's to deliver at least something on an over-promised feature.

I also wonder how good the training examples are, if they're just using average drivers without any quality control. Like when I'm teaching someone to drive, I'm following traffic laws to the tee. But when I'm doing my day to day driving, it's mostly about optimizing time. There's probably a reason why Waymo hired and trained drivers to teach their algo in a standardized way.

Watching the video gives me flashbacks of trying to teach someone to drive. Actually I'd probably prefer that than trying to babysit this headache in traffic. At least then I'd get paid for the hassle.

> While adding a number, Sakari provides the Letter of Authorization for the user to sign. Sakari's LOA says that the user should not conduct any unlawful, harassing, or inappropriate behaviour with the text messaging service and phone number. But as Lucky225 showed, a user can just sign up with someone else's number and receive their text messages instead.

Um, what?!

> The US is roughly 60% Europe, 25% Latin America, 10% Africa and 5% Asia.

Yes. Everyone knows African Americans have more in common with Africans than Americans. Asian Americans are a monolith, and so is Asia. And Latin Americans speak Latin. Sigh.

If we must have a struggle-session on this and rename to appease the performative gods, why not just call the default branch, you know, "default"?

The implication never was that this particular journalist called them anything else. Just the current administration and the broader political culture. I don't think the "kids in cages" framing is as common ever since the election, but there are still some consistent voices calling it what it is.

I guess we're calling them shelters again.

We're posting on the internet, buddy. We're all mentally ill.

If they've got nothing to hide, they've got nothing to fear.

Throw Neuralink into the mix and the "always connected" nightmare becomes quite literal.

All good points, but I don't understand the title.
