You can request a ride via Uber. They aren't building the tech. I find it a bit unclear who is operating the fleet (Uber or Wayve), but that seems irrelevant when the question is whether the vehicles' autonomous technology is safe

This is likely the start to a useful approach. I suspect the crux of the challenge is that engineers who need to write code get very pedantic in their questions and picking the answers apart (because we need to be! code leaves no room for

Uber exited the autonomous vehicle race several years ago. AFAICT, largely because of this mismatch. Who's still in this area (in a serious way) that behaves like that?

Interesting idea. Is there a practical way to obtain those permit records at scale?

Most of this has me rolling my eyes (“cadre of radical hackers”? really?), but this part is interesting: > The A/I Collective… manually vets all potential users for ideological affinity before granting them access to its infrastruct

In 1990 a Scottsdale 486 w/ 4MB of Ram and a 211 MB hard drive cost $6737 (plus tax). In 1992 a Solidtech 486 w/ 4 MB of RAM and a slightly-smaller 125 MB hard drive sold for $2195 Both advertised in Computer Shopper and you can f

It was both. 90% of people never needed nor purchased a bleeding-edge computer. The mid-tier was "good enough" and far closer to affordable for most people; though, that bar also moved upward every year. If you bought a mid-tier c

Most likely a SaaS app that auto-saves, but didn’t save properly. Then closing the laptop caused a network disconnect, and the in-browser app did not recover gracefully while awaiting reconnect on wake-up and lost all unsaved data. This wou

I'm sorry your dad is facing this disease. Hopefully he can find something that helps slow it. I don't know what the side-effects are that he could be facing but, as someone who lost a parent to alzheimers, let me say that anythi

Follow-up: Somehow in all that I forgot the most obvious pairing. Stripe wants to solve how agents pay for things. They’ve been quite open about this. Seems obvious that any solution to that is going to be through the model platform layer -

Stripe is positioning themselves as one of the leading adopters of AI internally. I don't know of public stats but I estimate they're spending on the order of $millions per week on tokens. I assume they've adopted Openrouter

by computomatic 28d ago
My surface-level assessment is that building a router is easy, but routing efficiently is difficult. For the latter problem, traffic provides signals which you can use to improve routing rules, creating a feedback loop. More traffic => m

I purchase almost exclusively from mobile websites and the Amazon app. I'm likely to abandon a purchase if it doesn't work smoothly on mobile - there's really no excuse in this day and age. Also a mid-80's kid. I hate ha

Well, the mainstream adoption of plastics following World War II happens to coincide with an unprecedented period of relative global stability known as the “Long Peace.” So there’s at least some version of “thriving” that was, in fact, not

5(1)c seems far more relevant than e. “Data minimization” is what’s relevant here. And the article is sufficiently vague that the onus is on companies to decide what is absolutely minimal - that includes, implicitly, removing inactive accou

Is there evidence that European courts have sided with that? “We’re holding onto all your data indefinitely just in case you log in again several years from now” seems to be the antithesis of GDPR and I can’t discern the difference between

Wasn’t it introduced on Tahoe? (Perhaps my memory is failing me here.) Do you mean it still persists on Golden Gate? They seem to have addressed the majority of issues I heard about - unless you mean the issue is that rounded corners exist

It seems like the WASM is simply a fallback if no other decoder is available. If the data source is untrusted, simply don’t run the WASM decoders. “Some code is untrusted” does not mean code should never be executed. There are more use case

Enterprise GTM for these behemoths relies on offering everything a customer needs so they don’t shop around. It’s Microsoft’s playbook and AWS copies it for the same market. That’s why they each offer a “good enough” (but objectively garbag

It’s all relative. Kiro is second to Claude Code, but Amazon isn’t really competing with Anthropic. They need something better than Microsoft/Github Copilot and that is a low, low bar.

Brand new email. Behaviour stopped when I disabled spam filter. Good point about working with support. I’ll keep this in mind if I get around to re-enabling spam filters and experience the same behaviour.

Ironically my experience with Fastmail was that every email ended up in spam. This included emails from myself, others from my own gmail, and even replies from people I'd emailed first. It was literally sending 100% of emails to spam

And to simplify, there’s also really only two reasons to move: 1) more interesting work opportunities; and 2) more money And the delta on (1) has never been smaller thanks to remote work post-covid (even after all the RTO). So basically, at

I’m trying to reconcile this with TFA. Because the article says that the majority of vulns found by Mythos are being reported by independent researchers after validation. They never said those reports inform that mythos was involved - and I
