- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 17 hours ago:
I don’t think it was a bug making the configuration change, I think there was a bug as a result of that change.
That specific combination of changes may not have been tested, or applied in production for months, and it just happened to happen today, hence the latent part.

So, if I bought this at Costco, and the fridge was 10 years old, I’d use their guarantee to return the motherfucker and make a huge fucking scene if they tried to refuse.

I wonder if valve can multi purpose the SDK for streaming and give it to game devs and say use this sdk to determine where to adjust how things being rendered, and make it eventually a no brainer easy to use add on.

Does that mean there’s no forviated rendering in standalone mode?

How big a deal is this eye tracking that then only shows higher resolution stuff where you’re looking? Is it legit and works well?

- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
I still think there’s a difference.
When people talk about wielding money like power, its more along the lines of
- if you don’t do what I say, I’ll destroy you by doing XYZ.
- you better change your laws or I can fuck shit up in some way.
- I can break the law because you can’t fucking touch me.
For Twitter he actually used his wealth as actual money to buy something you would buy with money.
He did get power from it yes, but I still think there’s a distinction when talking about wiedling it as power.

Unless you buy Twitter.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
These are forward looking claims on something they are building. It’s not quite the same.
FSD is closer, but it is an improving product.
It’d be more like if FSD wasn’t ever improving even and yet he still kept making the claims.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
The only way a world like this could happen is if the governments get onboard and do a UBI or similar thing.
What’s going to happen is the robots will get made (by someone, eventually) workforces will start laying people off and there won’t be anywhere near enough jobs.
Now there’s 2 options for the USA
-
Government steps in does something to support people to have a comfortable (not poverty life)
-
Government bends to the corpos and does nothing and poverty and suffering skyrockets.
For the USA at least, I can’t see them doing #1. It would take a revolution to make a change like that happen.

- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 4 weeks ago:
What I find interesting is this is something that many people can actually validate themselves, but won’t. It’s one thing to talk about global politics and have a position and be undeterred from it with no real way to concretely get an answer on something, or maybe something that’s unobtainable to them, but there are numerous L2 systems out there today that anyone can go test drive on the highway and find out for themselves, but many won’t even do that. The only real excuse would be that you’re too young to test drive a vehicle.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 4 weeks ago:
Or…bear me out here… like parent commenter, you can go test drive any vehicle with a good L2 system, take it on the highway, turn it on, PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL, and then take over and see it’s not 40s.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 4 weeks ago:
Ya, mental well being and less stress sounds about right. Going for a couple hour drive and using it for even a part of it can leave me feeling better off when I get to my destination.
It’s not something I always turn on for entire trips either, I still do a mix of both, but lets say I’m on a 2hour trip and I’ve been driving regularly for 30 minutes and I’m starting to feel it, I can turn it on and there’s just this instant noticeable reduction, but then maybe there’s some construction or something ahead where I want to take over, so I take over and then drive the next 30 minutes myself again.
The best analogy is probably just regular cruise control if you’ve ever used it. You still gotta pay attention and be ready to alter your speed, but you’re not suddenly forgetting about speed while it’s on, but you’re also not getting worn down by having to maintain it manually.
For example - Feeling frustrated or annoyed by that car in front of you that’s constantly slowing down so you always have to be modulating your speed, but you can’t necessarily pass? Well it can just follow it and modulate it for you, well I can assure you, it’s less annoying when you don’t have to manage that yourself.
You always need to be ready to brake or press the accelerator depending on the situation, and I move my foot around depending on the situation. Just driving on the open highway, I’ll be ready for the accelerator in case of any phantom braking, coming up to a light with another vehicle in front of me, I’ll move it to the brake until it’s clear the car is braking at my comfort level. It’s all situational, and if you’re paying attention like you’re supposed to be, it’ll just be natural on which one you are prepared for.
Stop and go traffic it’s just making sure it does actually stop as it inches forward a few feet and needs to come to a stop again but without needing to actually manage it myself.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 4 weeks ago:
Lowering the mental load of having to maintain speed and lane does not mean you’re not paying attention and able to take over.
It means you have more time to be aware of what’s going on around you, while still paying attention to what it’s handling for you.
Saying you gain nothing but risk because you still pay attention just isn’t true. There is still a gain, even with any added risk.
Stop and go traffic, and long drives it really helps.
