Do you think car manufacturers hire people who can program or even care to program this stuff into the tracking? Knowing some of the people who those tasks get outsourced to, the answer is no.

User drives through grass which the sensors detect as hard collision. Gettem, NexusLexus!

Do you think insurers care to differentiate between those things? Looking at the equivalent behavior from UnitedHealth and their auto claim rejection behavior, my guess is also no.

Any data collected about you can be and will be used against you.

The definition of leftists and their distribution would be a fun topic over drinks. Another thing you can consider if leftists in one timezone login at the same time as leftists in another timezone. The rabbit hole is ever deeper.

I don't think leftists/progressives are nonexistent on this site. Maybe some of them don't want to bring politics everywhere because it's tiring and unproductive.

Regarding Musk and his antics, I just tune them out. His projects are vain and self-serving. Let them die, the community sooner or later will recognize them for what they are and move on.

A coding agent, browser window, and a VPN.

Among all the hiring scams, enshittified portals and overwhelmed HRs, I don't trust sites anymore. I might as well collect all the info myself and process it based on my needs.

I mean, that's the first adoption phase where you don't start from scratch but keep using the old tech with the bolted on LLMs. It would take some time for devs to build the primitives around the new tech.

Hasn't security already moved on to post-quantum cryptography? Why are quantum doomers a thing still?

When I saw the range(280 miles), I immediately went to maps and measured the distance from mainland to Taiwan: ~115 miles to Taiwan west coast, ~200 miles to Taiwan east coast. I'm sure the Chinese military won't be shooting with those tanks from the coastline but from a ship-mounted version but it's scary to think about.

Our world is full of artifacts from a previous ages and using some of those as standards is useful/convenient.

We still use QWERTY keyboards even though our highly futuristic typewriters don't jam anymore. We type commands on tty teleTypeWriter, we save files with buttons using a floppy disk icon, etc etc.

It might be hidden somewhere or they’re doing A/B testing. Cowork was part of the left sidebar for Claude but when I was looking for it, it was gone. I had to do a search query to find it.
