I was about to ask the GP why is this a ‘public health crisis’, so appreciative of your preemptive response a little scroll down. I still don’t like calling personal self-inflicted non-chemical things a ‘public health…
Along the lines of presentation layer being transient,I’ve been experimenting with LLM and accessibility and screen reader to generate cleaner UIs and APIs. Haven’t spent too long on it, but parts of it seem to work.…
How schedules are crazy, but the results are in the right direction. Current FSD does seem safer than humans. Reusable rockets are now a thing. But hundred of miles of tunnels, and driverless cars, and Mars base… not…
I do engineering on these systems and have some expertise on this particular class of event. We’ve had tabletop red teams, and the general outcome is that rail systems being designed to ‘fail safe’ is an easy target.…
Maybe won’t work for your site; I’ve been leaving flat files open, putting anything that needs processing (like search and login) behind Anubis.
There are at least dozens of us doing this. My $5k bloated corporate laptop sits in my office 24/7. The 25% of time I’m traveling is with a $300 Chromebook with Linux Mini, a Bluetooth mouse, and logged into to a…
I think the root of much of this are money laundering rules. The feds want to be able to punish bad guys without actually proving the crime they are suspected of. There are now a large set of rules which the government…
Everything about this looks fake, and Tesla confirmed it wasn’t real. Not finding great sources right now: https://www.carscoops.com/2025/08/rapper-fakes-video-claimin... I would be amazed if there are not interlocks to…
In order to consistently output the same fake prompt, that fake prompt would need to be part of GPT’s prompt…. In which case it wouldn’t be fake. You can envision some version of post LLM find/replace, but then the…
It is doable but highly location based and still really tight. I’m in a tier 2 US city. Our interns wage would equate to $58k annually. A car isn’t needed if in the city. Most people have a roommate, which works out to…
State governments do this too. NY under Cuomo just dictated a 10% cut to invoiced labor. It was widely understood that saying no meant no more work in the future.
Potentially this is like giving an axe murderer an uzi. They don’t need it, but they’ll probably be more effective.
Alon Levy being brought up on this topic always tweaks my “but somebody is wrong in the internet.” I’ve been on several of the projects he talks about. He’s right about the macro numbers and the general vibe, but often…
I really like this idea; I’ve made crappy versions myself a few times…. Maybe this one will stick. (For others, it’s a method to follow people across multiple services without being a normal feed. A person who updates…
Is AmEx any better? I’m planning to cancel my Mastercard with this gatekeeping as a reference to why. It seems to be the most effective lever most of us have.
It’s done in various places. NJ Riverline is an example. There are a bunch of others. The bigger problem is the freights just have no interest in sharing the tracks with passenger trains, and requiring heavier and more…
As a mid size company that does work with government agencies, it’s near impossible to use anything ‘better’ solution. Cybersecurity requirements are getting so onerous that Sharepoint is too commercially feasible of an…
Having H1-B visa employees introduce overhead. Not all companies are willing to do it. We’ve recently decided to stop H1-Bs for anyone that isn’t a senior hire.
I wish they’d named FSD as Autopilot. FSD is amazing and I use it door to door wherever I drive. I got a LOT better about a year ago. But it still makes some dumb mistakes. It is not ‘full self driving.’ It’s 99%…
I believe this is only used on one passenger line in the entire country. This is really a freight based system intended to transmit brake apply signals as speed of light instead of speed of sound. Since passenger trains…
Yeah. Exactly. The consequence of this club is either: 1) The brakes take an extra couple seconds to apply (note: this is only used on long trains… so stopping is over a minute anyway) 2) The emergency brakes apply.…
It’s really frustrating seeing all this about something I know about. ‘Slamming in the brakes’ is the default safe condition for a train. The freight train Positive Train Control does this automatically if the operating…
This isn’t how US trains work though. There is literally an air pipe from end to end. It leaking air is how the brakes are normally applied. The system with the vuln is just an overlay.
I work on trains. This is FUD. Except for 1 train in the US, no passenger trains use this function. It is only for long freight trains. If you block it, the train still brakes…. Just the propagation is at the speed of…
I've actually used this fact in a related way, for wayfinding. Old school Open-CV was able to see tracks well from an onboard monocular camera, but calibration and scale was annoying. Track width is accurate enough that…
