  I provided a counterpoint and now you’ve moved your goalposts to just ramps. The fact is that there is no reason to believe the roads Waymos utilize are generally safer than roads on average. But that doesn’t really even matter because the studies that have been done about this do account for different types of environments anyway and point to Waymos having fewer accidents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It is obviously false that fatal accidents would be “zero” on the roads Waymos are limited to, it’s ridiculous to even suggest such a thing. What is true that such accidents are even more rare there though. It’s another good reason for why it makes no sense to solely focus on fatal accidents as they are unlikely to be involved in them anyway due to these limits. That’s in addition to the fact that the statistical analysis is simply impossible with current vehicle miles.

  Now, I’m not saying we know for certain Waymo is much safer than a human as the current statistics imply, that is going to require more rigorous studies. I would say what we’ve got is good enough to say that nothing points to them being particularly unsafe.

  Well Waymo isn’t assigning blame, it’s a third party assessment based on the information released about those accidents. The strongest point remains that fatal accidents are rare enough that there simply isn’t enough data to claim any statistical significance for these events. The overall accident rate for which data is sufficient remains significantly lower than the US average.

  All these services have the ability for a human to solve issues if the FSD disengages. Doesn’t mean they’re not driving on their own most of the time including full journeys. The remote assistant team is just ready to jump in if there’s something unusual that causes the Waymo driver to disengage and even then they don’t usually directly control the car, they just give the driver instructions on how to resolve the situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  We are talking about Tesla robotaxis. They certainly do drive in very limited geofenced areas also. While Waymo now goes on freeways only in the Bay Area with the option being offered to only some passengers Tesla Robotaxis do not go on any freeways ever currently. In fact they only have a handful of cars doing any unsupervised driving at all and those are geofenced in Austin to a small area around a single stretch of road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  When there’s two deaths total it’s pretty obvious that there just isn’t enough data yet to consider the fatal accident rate. Also FWIW like was said neither of those was in any way the Waymo’s fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I seen that video and another where they went back and forth for an hour in a single unsupervised Tesla. One thing to note is that they are all geofenced to a single extremely limited route that spans about a 20 minute drive along Riverside Dr and S Lamar Blvd with the ability to drive on short sections of some of the crossing streets there, that’s it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  not sure what you’re getting at but I think this makes it seem like California regulators are doing their job since they’ve not let Tesla test without someone being behind the wheel yet while Texas is completely derelict of their duty, even allowing them unsupervised despite these terrible stats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  well I mean it’s the one thing that Tesla’s got going for it compared to Waymo which is way ahead of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla robotaxis don’t go anywhere near highways currently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  What does this have to do with Newsom? Tesla isn’t allowed to operate this way in California, the accidents are from the Texas data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The unsupervised cars are very unlikely to be involved in these crashes yet because according to Robotaxi tracker there was only a single one of those operational and only for the final week of January.

  As you suggest there’s a difference in how much the monitor can really do about FSD misbehaving compared to a driver in the driver’s seat though. On the other hand they’re still forced to have the monitor behind the wheel in California so you wouldn’t expect a difference in accident rate based on that there, would be interesting to compare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Entirely possible, but all incidents are counted as it would probably be difficult to produce reliable stats where you’re leaving out some based on some kind of an assessment of blame.

  Because Tesla hides most of the details unlike the competition we can’t really look at a specific one and know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mattermost is no longer Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like your standard open core/dual licensing, CLA controlled BS where open source is indeed treated like an inconvenience… Perhaps with more obfuscation than on average. Probably not really adding requirements on top of AGPL as such but they seem to be offering multiple releases under a more restrictive license either because they have the rights so they can do dual licensing or they keep certain components proprietary and don’t offer those with the team/community editions.

  So yeah, probably within their legal rights and I assume there is still a codebase/release that you can use under the terms of the AGPL but they do seem to be looking for ways to make it used as little as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mattermost is no longer Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  which conditions on top of AGPL are they adding?

  Basic math or not, you failed to respond to the actual claim and thus failed basic logic yourself. It wasn’t just third party votes, the poster also included those that stayed home because of this profoundly bad idea that not voting for Harris would lead to anything good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve got phones with that amount of RAM now so it definitely isn’t something just reserved for desktops. I tend to like getting something with plenty resources even if it’s unnecessary at the time because it often means a longer lifespan for the hardware…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They do still make Pi3, they guarantee availability for a decade for each model and there’s still over 3 years to go until Pi 3 hits that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet just got better: our European search index goes live (Summer 2025)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. They seem to be saying the index consists only of European sites as well. If that’s the case I hope we can also do searches within Europe, the Ecosia announcement doesn’t say much about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, parent poster was talking about Mastodon, you seem to be talking about threadiverse platforms like Lemmy. One thing that applies to both and every single platform that is large enough for that to happen is that you’re always going to lose out on a lot of the content because there is just too much content for one person to look at. It isn’t actually that difficult to subscribe so much that you get past that point in my experience.

  For the Mastodon-type fediverse microblogging platforms there’s some things that can help when trying to sift through the more popular stuff more (and less) similarly to how an algorithmic timeline would do it. Boost bots that track what’s trending and tools like Phanpy that allow you to check out what has been boosted the most in your recent timeline. There’s also starter packs (currently a fedidevs third party feature but will be added to Mastodon in the future too) and Sharkey antennas that let you watch for keywords over all the posts that flow through your instance. When it comes to things that aren’t here yet but are being worked on Fediscovery seems very promising.

  Maybe some of that stuff should exist for Lemmy etc. too or maybe the “all” feed could be improved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t actually a government doing it. It’s just some VC backed company that went to Davos to announce it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what in particular do you mean by lack of discoverability?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re automating the photo validation. The CEO mentioned something about giving back by releasing their facial recognition solution or something in the interview at Davos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start with backups?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well there’s software that can make it easier. For ZFS specifically there’s zfs_autobackup which I’ve got experience with and I haven’t tried this but just found out about a Web UI that works with it: github.com/natankeddem/bale

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start with backups?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern filesystems like ZFS have snapshots and the ability to incrementally copy those around even over the network. I’d suggest considering using those instead of something that operates on top of the filesystem.

  if you are looking this from the US that is not necessarily the only thing that could be driving prices up though. You’ve got tariffs and a much weaker dollar than it used to be right now…
