  • There’s a reason for the early rise in popularity of independent gaming reviewers and it isn’t the hard-hitting, honest quality of mainstream entertainment journalism at the time. With the advent of influencers though, it feels like everyone is just regurgitating the same pre-approved, publisher-friendly nonsense. I’m sure there are exceptions, but it feels more difficult today to find an honest review when every random internet personality is signing sponsorship contracts that require them to praise the game every 20 minutes.



  • That’s what a firewall and a DNS service is for respectively, imho. As long as you get an IPv6 prefix from your ISP, you can expose as many devices or services to the public as you want, by just allowing incoming traffic to a listening port. That was sort of the whole point of having a large enough address space when moving away from v4. Maybe it’s just me but reading stuff about “private AI” on a website where the relation to the product is not immediately obvious, makes me question their legitimacy.

    The more I look at their site, the more it reads like a sales pitch for IPv6, which sounds kind of expensive at $6-10 a month.

    I’m not trying to draw parallels, I’m literally talking about the likelyhood of getting stabbed in a dark park. How does domestic violence factor into that scenario? On the other hand, I wonder how underreported domestic violence cases are compared between genders.




  • Autopilot and FSD Beta are two different systems of which autopilot is the less advanced one. There’s only one death ever linked to the use of FSD Beta and that includes the older versions aswell.

    I know. Tesla has already advertised that their newer system is fully based on ANN. Factoring in their current track record doesn’t inspire any confidence in me. I’m not reading that paywalled article, but one death for a system that only had limited rollout until very recently isn’t enough to make me believe it’s reasonably safe either. There just isn’t trustworthy, large-scale data out there yet. We need to keep the perspective in mind here: this is pretty much Tesla’s last chance to actually make good on their empty promises and they have a lot to prove.

    At this point I’m not willing to take any statistical claim coming from Tesla, salt or not.


  • It seems like a good decision then to limit self driving systems to situations where they are less likely to fail.

    FSD is probably already safer driver than a human.

    Even with the horrendous driving skills of some people, that’s a very bold claim without some actual evidence.

    When it fails this generally means that it got stuck somewhere - not that it caused an accident. I haven’t seen the video in question but that probably was an older version or an autopilot, not FSD.

    It doesn’t make that much difference what Tesla calls their latest beta software update imho. If their autopilot is enough to get you into dangerous situations, how is a system with even less human oversight going to be fundamentally different? I’ll need to see some more critical reviews of this system after years of not delivering on their claims and only rolling features out to select beta testers to maintain plausible deniability.

    I didn’t find the specific video of older versions trying really hard to drive into oncoming traffic, though there are plenty. I found one of the FSD beta from 6 months ago though, where it can’t seem to decide which lane is correct.




  • You could not have worded that more condescendingly. The issue here is that Rust is singled out for no more apparent reason than making for a clickbaity headline. The underlying Windows API function requires undocumented escaping to prevent this exploit, Microsoft won’t fix that because it breaks compatibility, pretty much every programming language with a standard library that provides access to it is affected - Java won’t even fix it, others have updated their documentation. Rust is the first to actually implement a fix for a vulnerability that’s ultimately caused by Windows and gets called out for it for some reason. Of course people are going to get defensive about it. As they do every time a stupid headline gets published.
