Misleading headline. They spoofed GPS and caused the car to safely exit the highway at a different exit than planned. This is hardly an emergency. A human might easily make the same mistake if their GPS was spoofed.

I don't trust Autopilot myself, I've had too many phantom braking incidents. But GPS spoofing is not a good reason to criticize Autopilot.

The classic business management book The Innovator's Dilemma specifically recommends moving groups working on potentially disruptive new products into separate facilities. That helps them avoid distractions and makes it harder for "corporate antibodies" to kill the new initiative. Most people think that the IBM PC project succeeded in creating a microcomputer that disrupted the mainframe and minicomputer markets at least partly because they had a separate office in Boca Raton instead of at HQ in Armonk.

Of course having a separate facility doesn't guarantee success, and can certainly cause other problems if poorly managed.

Well even on intel, its possible the firmware/os isn't doing the right thing. This was pretty common ~10 years ago, when the default linux behavior wasn't to report soft errors in the logs (due to missing drivers/whatever) so a lot of machines might just sit there and correct the errors and the only way to find out was to turn up some BMC/etc logging. I guess that is why you should buy machines from HP/Dell/Lenovo that are fully certified for your OS rather than random whitebox manufactures too, although given the problems I was having with HP equipment at the time its questionable.

Differences in degree of impact and degree of access all matter. In the case of a laser versus an exploit of autonomous navigation, one of the biggest differences is that with the laser, the moment it happens, you are immediately aware is a crisis.

Whereas people use their navigation every day and build more and more trust in it. The notion that it might be malfunctioning and that there is a life-threatening crisis may not occur to drivers until it is too late.

That alone makes for a vast difference between the two scenarios.
The odds of your lost phone landing in the hands of somebody who is going to spin up a bitcoin mining farm on your AWS account is miniscule. A much, much more likely risk is one of your accounts getting compromised by some dude running a botnet using a list of a million leaked credentials.... if you have 2FA on the site the botnet is targeting, you are immune from compromise.

Besides, my phone as the ability to do a remote wipe. It is effectively a bricked door stop until they can log into the phone.
"I'm not quite sure how this is different from classes."

Well, depending on your definition of classes, I suppose. "A struct bundled together with methods for operating on it + some sort of polymorphism" on its own doesn't say anything about dependency management. But get 10 programmers together and ask for a definition of "class" and you can easily get 15 answers.

"Visual Studio build out reports on call and data flow so you can easily see what calls what and what dependencies you have."

Does it really have a report of exactly what APIs you use out of a module? I'd love to see an example of that if it's not too difficult, not because I disbelieve you, but because I'd love to see it. I know I've seen plenty of flow diagrams for what "libraries" or "modules" you use (whatever word is appropriate to your language), but knowing that you use "the AWS S3 module" is much less informative than knowing "you only use GetObject", to be specific about an example.

"C# has this feature and calls it "Microsoft Fakes" but they got a lot of vocal pushback from the TDD community who see great value in adding dependency injection and an interface to every library call you make."

I am not intimately familiar with this feature, so please do correct me if I am wrong. But I observe that according to this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/isolating... that for stubs you have to manually create an interface, and for shims you're in a situation where the code is being rewritten dynamically. I would propose making it so that all library usage is automatically an interface type created by your usage. And as it would be implemented in the language spec, rather than being done by instruction-rewrite very late in the process, it would also be something that could be built on by other things.

To be clear A: I'm well aware that I, just like everybody else, do not have any totally unique and new ideas literally never considered by anyone ever, so I am well aware that there are things like this in various bits and pieces elsewhere and B: I'm not exactly "criticizing" the .NET stack, especially with my vaporware-beyond-vaporware ideas. I'm just observing that there is an engineering difference between the things that run as instruction-level rewrites very late in the process and things integrated at the beginning. That's one of the ways Microsoft and Oracle/Java punch above the "weight" of what I'd otherwise expect from the languages in question merely on their features, and a legitimate advantage of being on their stacks, but even for something the size of Microsoft, that's where you have to stop advancing. You can't really build on that sort of tech because you can't stack that many such features together before the complexity exceeds what even those entities can deal with.

(There's also some other features in my highly vaporous vaporware language that this integrates with in some other ways, which is why I'm concerned about needing to be able to build on these features more officially than last-minute assembly rewrites.)

has anyone tried spoofing a car GPS with a human driver

In some of the more remote parts of America, GPS doesn't work very well, especially if you're near a military facility. (It's a pretty good indicator that you're near an "undeclared" military facility in the middle of nowhere.)

I can't count the number of times my GPS map has shown me driving through a lake, or over flying over a mountain.

YMMV but I've done IMU measurements in a EV and the compass course changed like 90 degrees from zero to full throttle. Was a low voltage 50V EV prototype though (higher currents).

According to Forbes [1] men's world cup generated $6b in revenue and shared $400m between participants. [1] The women's world cup is expected to generate $131m and share $30m between participants. This means that as a share of the pie, women's are actually making more % wise, even though there is less demand. This is likely needed, in part, to encourage more woman to participate in the world cup so that it can grow in the future.

It is difficult to dole out blame in scenarios such as this, should you blame FIFA? The country's soccer organizations? The media? The customers?

Wikipedia claims that one of the problems of Stirling engines is that they depend on the rate at which heat can be transferred to a gas. A Nitinol engine has a metal as its working object (functionally like a working fluid, just not actually fluid), so the thermal conductivity could be considerably better. The result could plausibly be higher power for a given amount of metal in use.

This all shows what an absolute disaster the DMCA was; how poorly thought out it was, how unconsidered the consequences were, and how badly our legislators failed us... to give Hollywood a little extra cash. We should be outraged.

It all started as "hey, these damn kids are stealing our musics". So they made a law with "broad bipartisan support" to punish those evil evil people that were sharing their CDs with other people. But then other people realized, "hey, we can use this to make money." Now it's copyright infringement to repair your tractor. They keep the DMCA alive by carving out tiny exemptions every few years... but never addressing the core of the law. We should not accept random tweaks and amendments to this toxic law.

I think it's time to move to a post-DMCA world. It was illegal to pirate stuff before the DMCA. Just go prosecute that if you think it's a policing priority. We don't need a special law, as it clearly makes possible too much abuse. Don't like someone? DMCA their website. Want extra money for your tractor? Make repairing it "circumventing a content protection system." This is actively harmful to society, and the special interest group that is Hollywood just doesn't matter enough for it to be a good compromise. Get the DMCA out of here.
I think you are correct. Typically, there needs to be pain before there is action that is human nature. That pain traditionally has come in the form of epidemics, famine, and war.

A large part of climate change denial is driven by economic forces. The oil and transportation industries have built an economy that relies on fossil fuels. As soon as alternatives are cheaper, there will be a transition. We are seeing that in the energy sector now where solar has gotten cheaper than coal. Power companies are starting to make the transition to wind and solar. IMO, the best thing we can do to solve the climate crisis is to make the economics of non-fossil fuel energy sources impossible to compete with OR close the loop on CO and CO2 emissions (converting atmospheric carbon back into fuel).

A standard VM doesn't protect from attacks of this level of sophistication.
Say FSD comes online or NOA is enabled for city streets. A driver without their attention on the road might not notice the mistake, and a dedicated attacker could navigate the car wherever they wanted and do malicious things (attack the car, harm the passengers, etc).

Sure, it's not a big problem now, but it could be a problem when the Tesla self-driving fleet comes online and it drives you to a back alleyway to get mugged and/or killed.

I don't get these fears about spoofing autonomous cars to crash. It's already incredibly easy to spoof a human driver off the highway -- just toss a cadaver or mannequin into the road from a bridge. It's dangerous, illegal, and criminal.

Spoofing autonomous cars with willful intent to injure the humans inside should be treated no differently.

By "laptop memory" you mean SO-DIMMs; the only significant difference to full-size DIMMs is, well, size. Voltage and frequency tends to be the same, leaving aside extreme overclocker's RAM.

1) That's the raw unbundled module source from unpkg. Bundled, minified, and gzipped lit-element + lit-html is about 6.7K.

2) Svelte bundles the runtime operations that each component uses directly into every component. HelloWorld doesn't use much, so it'll be small, but most component are not HelloWorld and most applications will not have only a single component. The cost of the common dependency on LitElement is amortized over all the elements that use it.
Ideally I would say that at a lower price, they would sell just fine, but the reality is that these homes are in a bad position. Appraisals mean that the property taxes will be sizeable in and of themselves -- even if they priced it at $1 there would not be many who could afford it.

A few possible reasons come to mind.

The government may not have standing to sue on the worker's behalf.

The agency that prosecutes tax fraud may be larger and better funded than the agency that protects workers.

One tax evasion charge may combine the cases of thousands of affected workers into one case, where the individual cases are too small and time consuming to pursue.

The penalties for tax evasion may be more severe than the penalties for wage theft.
I think it might have worked in some earlier generations of Core i, perhaps Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.
given the miasma of wannabe-billionaires and LessWrongers on HackerNews, the fact that you have an "upvoted" post that is "edgy cynical" in the direction of deregulation and anarcho-capitalism is not remotely surprising. It's amusing that your prosecution complex leads you to think it's some big achievement.

the "brave truth teller" saying exactly what the most powerful people in society want to hear, from its largest platforms, is a funny sinister phenomenon of our era. "I am being silenced!", penned from national-scale editorials. I guess it trickles down to their individual followers.

keep advocating for deregulation, it's a good and tragic cautionary tale for people watching from the outside.
Another example is PMR, aka. walkie talkies. In many countries, you can use the PMR frequencies unlicensed only through radios with non-removable antennas limited to 0.5W of TX power. Doesn't stop people without licenses from buying and using handheld transceivers intended for HAMs and professionals (like the popular UV-5R with 5W of TX power and a removable antenna) on these frequencies.
I'm not the least bit surprised that no one is buying it.

That's almost bay area east bay pricing!

Why do that when you can go to Houston and get the same thing at 100$/sq foot?

How would the police find out the perpetrator? What if the perpetrator is out of their jurisdiction?

This "report" was a very weird read for me.

There is a lot of vague information, it uses language like "mission critical", "high impact", .... It then mentions that the immediate driving decisions are not affected, the attack can affect high level routing decisions - like making the car turn off the highway.

Then it mentions all other car manufacturers as vulnerable,
and indeed conveniently mentions it's product which will protect the car.

There are plenty of concerns one should have about self-driving cars, but this is blatant self-promotion and obviously a PR piece.

Fixing that would be a prerequisite. Public/postal banking is one way to accomplish that. Regulation is another.

I actually disagree that cash is currently near-zero cost, though. The current situation is that credit cards charge large interchange fees, and their agreements with most merchants prohibit them from passing those fees to their customer. The result is that most of the fees are added to prices for all customers.

Unless you're paying with cash at a cash-only business, you're using one of the most expensive payment methods.

The closest you can come to a low-cost payment method is a rewards credit card that provides some of those interchange fees back in the form of cash bonuses, points, or whatever, and then paying off the balance each month.
