- Comment on Nevada put big battery energy storage where a coal plant used to be 6 months ago:
That drives up maintenance significantly. You suddenly need your technicians driving around everywhere servicing small units rather than at one central location making sure the main unit is online.
- Comment on Dozens arrested at Yale and NYU as pro-Palestinian student protests spread 6 months ago:
Alright, tell me which ones from the ones mentioned aren’t private property, then we can start the discussion from there.
- Comment on Dozens arrested at Yale and NYU as pro-Palestinian student protests spread 6 months ago:
A New York police spokesperson said arrests were made after the university asked police to enforce trespassing violations but the total number of arrests and citations would remain unknown until much later.
Nope, but you also don’t have a right to protest on private property.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 6 months ago:
Mr hackerman couldn’t get to the car because it crashed first due to a software bug the customer did not have time to take his car to the shop to fix.
The real world is quite different than the idealistic one.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 6 months ago:
And how often were they actually followed vs discarded because the customer just didn’t care?
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 6 months ago:
You do realize your entire first point is invalidated by the comment you’re replying to? I just said the customer has to press a button on their phone to initiate the update. On that same phone they can view release notes that clearly outline the recall. Additional on first use, the car will display those same release notes on the screen.
Sure, safety vs convenience is a huge factor in software development. The biggest factor to safety is unpatched software. You know, the kind that requires significant effort to update, such as needing to bring your car into the shop to apply.
Overall your doom and gloom argument against OTA safety updates is pretty weak.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 6 months ago:
Right, because the recall for the icons on the screen needing to be a tad bigger is as serious as uncontrolled acceleration of a giant hunk of metal.
They need a new name for software update recalls and physical recalls. They both need to be serious, but a distinction is needed.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 6 months ago:
Recalls still require the customer to take action. They’re much less likely to go into the shop to have it fixed than press a button on their phone and have the car fix itself overnight.
Your suggestion for not allowing safety software fixes OTA is dangerous.
- Comment on New poll reveals crucial battleground state prefers Trump over Biden in heated 2024 rematch 7 months ago:
Those are all the big achievements for Trump’s presidency. Is he progressive now to you?
- Comment on Israel-Gaza war: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in new ceasefire call 7 months ago:
Bring in other countries to make sure no weapons are smuggled in with the aid. Otherwise, “total, unfettered” access just means Hamas gets to smuggle more arms in like they usually do.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 9 months ago:
Rules are written in blood. Once you figure out all the standard cases, you can only try and predict as many edge cases that you can think of. You can’t make something fool proof because there will always be a greater fool that will come by.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 9 months ago:
Full releases have plenty of bugs.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video won't offer Dolby Vision and Atmos on its ad-supported plan | The company is now facing a lawsuit over its decision to charge $3 more for ad-free viewing. 9 months ago:
Content has always been available, but the number of people pirating decreased. It’s now having a resurgence.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Pico cracks BitLocker in under a minute 9 months ago:
You went on your triad of how you incorrectly attributed hacking time incorrectly while nobody else thought that way, then shifted the goal posts once proven wrong.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Pico cracks BitLocker in under a minute 9 months ago:
Whoops, looks like you relocated the goalposts somewhere else. Might want to move them back to where they were.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Pico cracks BitLocker in under a minute 9 months ago:
That’s great and all, but he owned that hardware. You’re not developing hardware exploits on a target’s hardware, you do it on a copy of the target’s hardware.
That’s like claiming the NSA spent months breaking into your phone. In reality, they spent months developing exploits on the iPhones they bought and minutes breaking into your phone once they have it.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Pico cracks BitLocker in under a minute 9 months ago:
If you have physical access to the hardware, have spent weeks researching it and produced a custom solution specific to that board and revision, etc. Sure, the last step of the process is quick - but let’s not forget the time spent developing this solution.
That’s not what anyone means when they say quick. They’re talking from the moment the attempt is initiated until the time data is extracted. In this case countdown starts the moment you get access to the hardware.
- Comment on Funimation is shutting down — and taking your digital library with it 9 months ago:
not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.
Because that’s twice the maintenance cost? The better question is why did they take so long after the merge to shut one of them down.
- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 9 months ago:
Yeah, but you don’t always need such a large battery, and that takes way from the storage area, which is important for long trips.
- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 9 months ago:
Batteries are over 90% recyclable. They’re actually pretty environmentally friendly after the first round.
- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 9 months ago:
Hopefully in a few years they’ll have some range extender carts the bus could pull behind it.
- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 9 months ago:
School busses don’t have adult strangers and other issues tied to them. They only go from people’s homes to school and back.
- Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years 10 months ago:
You’re saying the cheapest possible products don’t last long, while the more expensive ones last for years? Can’t be.
- Comment on The US is investigating if Boeing ensured a part that blew off a jet was made to design standards 10 months ago:
Good to note that the mobile phones survived as well
- Comment on Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees 10 months ago:
Small company: yeah, we hired too many people, need to let go of 170.
People: such huge cuts, not touching them anymore
Large company: we’re laying off the entire staff of pre-Elon Twitter worth of employees in this one department because they didn’t make us enough money.
People: good, your product sucked anyways
- Comment on A huge battery has replaced Hawaii's last coal plant 10 months ago:
This application needs the opposite of that. They need lots and lots of cycles, easy to maintain, and density is not much of an issue.
- Comment on A huge battery has replaced Hawaii's last coal plant 10 months ago:
They didn’t say react all at once. I bet you it’s a much slower ramp up.
- Comment on Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thought 10 months ago:
You and the person above you are confusing communism with socialism
- Comment on A cargo plane flew 50 miles with no pilot onboard using a semi-automated system. An aviation expert says the technology could address the pilot shortage. 10 months ago:
That’s fine for cargo planes over remote routes.
- Comment on Business Insider's reporter and his disastrous experience with GM's Blazer including the infotainment system: 10 months ago:
It does feel like Nissan’s mission with that car is to make sure to use the most outdated technology possible. That includes charging it.
