We test these things in production.

The keyboard has a much shorter lifespan than the SSD, and it's incredibly difficult/expensive to replace.

A single bad key or trace and any Apple laptop is basically toast. $800+ to have Apple replace the top cover.

Maybe an independent shop can do it cheaper, I don't know.

Waymo has posted videos of accidents they've avoided purely because their lidar picked up on a pedestrian before their cameras saw anything.

Um, yes they did.

No idea if it had any relation to Tesla though.

Through Azure, Office, LinkedIn, gaming. Not so much Windows.

Isn't my watch always with me? Why not use that instead of have some new device?

They integrated "MetNet-3" into Google products and my personal perception was accuracy decreased.

I'm assuming the "Gemini 2.5" referenced on this site is Flash, not Pro. Pro is insane, and 3.0 is just around the corner.

reAmp (https://re-amp.ru/) is a faithful recreation as well, but no updates since 2020 (and not OSS)

It's because anecdotal experience means very little. In ~2021, these vehicles could almost never make it from A to B without a safety-critical intervention.

That they can today doesn't mean they can do the same route 10,000 times without a safety-critical intervention. In fact, public tracking indicates Tesla's numbers are MUCH lower than that.

The humans in the vehicle spotted it fine, and we should not tolerate self-driving systems that are only as good as the worst of us.

A friend of mine who loves Tesla watched this video and said "many humans would have hit that". I feel we'll be hearing a lot of that excuse.

Indeed. They'll use this to hurt companies they want to hurt.

Reminds me of BeOS (and now Haiku), which have "is_computer_on()" and "is_computer_on_fire()" both with great descriptions.

3DES isn't as easy to exploit versus, say SSLv3 and RC4 which were both quickly removed.

The DMC-12 has a classic movie attached to it. If it didn't, most every single one of them that exists today would be in the scrap heap.
