Require all children under the age of 18 to wear a smart watch with video and microphone recording that can be accessed by a child protection agency at any point. You could have on-device content recognition, so most of the data is discarded without being uploaded, unless that child is tagged for extra attention by authorities. ("We use on-device smart algorithms to ensure privacy. Your child's data will never be uploaded unless on-device AI detects an abuse situation. And who would want to prevent that sort of data upload beyond the abuser?")

Have it continually check for watch removal, and if it is removed, upload the last 30 seconds of video to identify who removed it.

If the child or parent removed it, issue a fine to the parent and a mandatory interview for the child with child protective services, to uncover the 'true' reason for the removal.

For recharging, each child could be issues with a pair of them; one is always on charge, the other is worn. If the currently worn watch detects the other watch is not being charged, it alerts the user. If that is not corrected in a certain period of time, an infraction will be generated.

Multiple removal / 'accidental battery depletion' infractions would result in successively higher fines, and potential removal of the child from the parents.

This is all doable with today's technology.
You just need to manufacture consent with a couple of high-profile cases where a smart watch saved a child from an abusive parent, maybe a kidnapping attempt where the police managed to track the child and recover them with the "lesson" being that all children need this form of tracking.
I said almost certainly making a terrible mistake. VLC has an extremely specific niche as "that one media app that plays literally anything in any format ever". You are almost certainly not developing that app. The overwhelming majority of apps have lots of very good reasons to rely on the platform APIs and no good reasons to eschew them.

Modern laptops are complete garbage. I had a 200X at my last job it was slow (DDR4 is so much slower than DDR3 when in a low power laptop) and the screens are to high res, can't read anything without zooming and then it looks bad.

That combined with weight and bulk. The drivers being crap too. And a bunch of things I forgot... like price etc. makes it unviable.

We need cheap, open hardware and software. No big companies involved.
I have no interest in squid rings (especially after prepping many hundreds of pounds of frozen squid), but squid tentacles are awesome when grilled.
I think you make some very valid points. The last Model 3 I spent significant time in did have that general responsiveness to acceleration that you mention, except off the line. I would put my foot to the floor and it would take at least half a second to start moving. I will add the caveat that this was a Hertz rental, so provenance and history unknown.

And I will admit my ICE experience recently is with higher performance cars (my daily driver is an RS 5, which is very much designed to be street and track), where the transmission is absolutely responsive (I think the clutch time was in the 90ms range?). And it seems most ICE CVTs (which I thought would be free from this issue) are optimized for economy rather than response.

> how the gear change from forward to reverse is a flick of the wrist and so on

This is pretty common in performance ICEs. In my car, the gearstick sits in a "neutral" position, and you poke it forward (it returns to neutral) to go into reverse, and pull it momentarily back to go into drive (if you're actually wanting to change gears manually you push it momentarily to the side, and then it functions as a sequential shifter, or of course you have the flappy paddles).

I do appreciate your insights, different perspectives are always good!
I once went on a flight in a glider. I fly RC planes, so I know how to fly (in theory), but I wasn't able to fly the glider well. The pilot, on the other hand, obviously flew with no problem.

I noticed that this wasn't because I didn't know what to pay attention to, but I didn't know what to ignore. I knew very well that I needed to pay attention to my speed, attitude, etc, but there was so much sensory overload that I didn't know what to process and what to just ignore.

Sure, knowing what to notice is good, but knowing what you can safely ignore so you can free up bandwidth for processing the useful information is critical.
The whole point of the class action lawsuit is that most people didn't know this.

I'm amazed that default diff tools that come with git CLI or even git UI clients are so freakin' the opposite of intelligent. Even github or Atlassian web interfaces. No matter unified or split.

Change some spacing and the whole line is marked. Move an if statement 10 lines up and you see complete blocks of changes. Not even speaking about changed order of function implementations.

This seems a not-so-hard problem solved already a-million-times and I always fall back to use a local UI and configure it to use a commercial differ/merger I once bought a license for. Can't do that for code change reviews in the browser though.
I find it odd that most states legalize pot before they legalize/decriminalize shrooms. Psilocybin mushrooms are native to a lot more states than cannabis. It's an odd experience to walk down the streets of NJ and see a patch of Psilocybe Ovoideocystidiata growing in a mulch bed and to think, "Wow! A natural fungal felony with freewill and a means to reproduce, turning other people's mulch beds into felonies!"
>He was forced to due to ad revenue plummeting as a reaction to his own actions and policies.

That’s incorrect. The need to diversify away from ad revenue was a topic discussed with Jack prior to the acquisition. The rationale was that advertisers effective control content moderation policies due to the revenue which they provide.

This is true. Whether it’s bad on or not depends on your viewpoint and ideological position. What advertisers want for now, e.g. with regard to social policy, may be aligned with what you or I want now.

But there’s no guarantee that will be true in the future.

>I’d argue there’s a reasonable middle ground between “a bloated team” and “just the die-hards.

Layoffs are painful, and they were handled poorly. But there can be no doubt the prior company was massively overstaffed.

If you’re going to cut, generally you want to cut deep to prevent future rounds. Arguably not increasing the size of the first layoffs led to the second, and more people could have been preserved in total.

There’s very little virtue in “middle ground” in this context.

> Community notes existed before Musk, and their role is to dispute a claim or provide context. They don’t moderate content in any way.

It doesn’t moderate content in any way… except for placing large labels to “dispute a claim or provide context.”

Sure, if you very narrowly constraint content moderation to the Trust and Safety definition of removing content and administering bans it doesn’t.

Birdwatch existed, but the prominence of the feature and improved reliability of the feature weren’t launched until after acquisition.

It solved the main edge cases for content moderation by only displaying labels when moderators who disagreed sufficiently on other issues agreed on that particular label.

It has significantly impacted the disinformation at scale problem for the better.

I just wanna publicly thank you for bringing this to peoples attention in a data driven way.
Good intro. I'd be curious how they do the syscall tracing, eg, strace logs as part of CI?

Funny enough, we've gone the reverse path for LLM AI-generated code sandboxing for louie.ai / Graphistry . We started with container isolation with careful network, volume, compute etc enablement first, and only now adding nsjail to the runners within the container as an extra defense layer.

The negative space is interesting too. We initially explored alternatives like wasm (too slow and underpowered for our generated python GPU analytics workloads) and firecracker vm (too unwieldy and unportable for our small team). As we do more k8s and enable more interactive data viz customization + web-scale static serving, would love to revisit both.

On which note, we have a bit of budget for someone to help harden the nsjail layer, if of interest!
I would gladly fill that role if the Fed would also lend to me at zero interest indefinitely while I invest the proceeds into the economy
That is the beauty of technology: once we identify a problem we can do something about it and apply the fix to everything. While this is the type of case you can argue nobody would have expected before, once it happens you know and can setup lab situations where similar things happen and then figure out how best to respond over months of effort.

A mundane example is iTunes purchases.

If you buy something for $0.99 today, they won't bill you immediately. If you buy another $0.99 item tomorrow, you'll get a consolidated charge for $1.98. You would need to do something like this to link the $1.98 to your app/song purchases.

The reason for this is that credit card processing often costs a flat service charge + a percentage of the bill: Stripe is 30 cents + 2.9% right now. The flat portion dominates for small charges, so you'd want to combine them if at all possible. (Apple certainly gets a better rate...but also has a scale where small savings add up).

The same linked website (iihs.org) says between 30-60% of all fatal accidents involve alcohol.

I strongly agree that the safety comparisons aren't anywhere near the same ballpark. They are just too apples to oranges.

All that said, I don't think that means we can't evaluate whether they're safe in the limited contexts they're being deployed in. We just have to be aware those statistics are only as good as their context (weather, geography, terrain, traffic patterns/devices/laws, social norms, etc).

I'm initially most hopeful for constrained environments (city, low speeds, parking) and Waymo in particular, because of the house amount of investment and very thoughtful and cautious strategy in terms of deployment.
Can you gather some information that backs up your claims here? How would devoting an extra lane to cars increase efficiency? I can't see a scenario where this would do anything but the opposite effect.

Adults have a lot more responsibility for their actions. One of those actions is choosing to participate in a system that is widely considered harmful in multiple ways.
Well we spend the last 60 years reengineering all our cities to be car-centric, so who's to say we can't undo that? Most of the top 100 US cities existed before cars, we just hollowed out all the urban cores in service of having ample street parking.

I currently live in Ann Arbor, MI (the 244th largest city in the US) without a car. If they built a Trader Joes downtown I would have 0 issues being car free. The city has built a number of fully protected bike lanes downtown that I hope get expanded further into the greater community, and seems to be doing a good job of making the downtown denser as well. It certainly can be done.

Yes! Bing is finding its footing and is introducing nifty value-adds.

But, that has taken a long time, during which it was mostly the butt of jokes.

So, not saying all of these were abject failures and a few are still around and doing OK (Surface) or better (Bing). But, I'd argue that the projects were so rushed and reactionary that they were delivered compromised, embarrassed, and with too little direction and advocacy.

Oh, and I'd like to add Microsoft Store to the list.

And then there's a momentary thought of this, and then I think how bad/hard it would be. Sitting there in a "call center", "Ding!" and you're suddenly thrown in to a car mid-collision, needing to take instant surveying of the situation (like "there's someone partly trapped under the vehicle", "am I in the middle of an intersection/interstate", etc., et al.

Fair point. For more context the waymo just made the right turn and there was a line of cars in front moving slowly or still. The skateboarder was crouched down and going fast between the cars and the gutter (against traffic). Perhaps from the driver's seat you'd get a glimpse of the skateboarder but it would be very late. No other cars in front made any adjustments. I did hear the skateboarder as it went by.

I feel like this is a much of a root cause as the mushrooms:

> Emerson added that he hadn’t slept in 40 hours and was having a “nervous breakdown.”
Installed it again today. I use Windows only for gaming and therefore didn't care much about mail on it.
> Just switch to Linux already.

I did this. Again. After running Linux as my main desktop OS from about 1992 - 1999, and some years since then.

> It's really there. Some compromises required, sure, but they are already far and between.

I'm not sure about that, and borderline disagree.

There are a lot of compromises:

- The Linux desktop is far flakier and far less elegant than Windows and especially macOS. KDE's a little less flakey than GNOME, I suppose.

- A lot of the apps you love don't exist on Linux.

- The Linux replacements for the apps you love are way less functional.

- Keyboard shortcuts are chaotic unless you spend a lot of time deep diving on how to configure them coherently across applications.

- Odd behaviors with snap/flatpak apps, but those will get worked out with time.

Pluses:

- The underlying Linux OS is rock stable with compatible hardware.

- You can customize your desktop pretty much infinitely, if that's your thing.

- Everything is free.

- Logging is, compared to macOS and Windows, excellent.

- If you're a developer, everything is more compatible on Linux.

Anyways, after a year, I went crawling back to my Mac. I still have a Linux desktop SSD in the PC, ready to go, but I rarely pop in anymore.

That said, if you live the terminals plus browser lifestyle, you won't miss much switching to Linux desktop.

Edit: for context, I used UNIX and Linux way before I ever used Windows or DOS. I have, in the past, done deep dives on Windows, Windows kernel, Windows and .net programming, etc. I just prefer *NIX.
I made law and because of it others, for example people whose ex partners take revenge online (at least in common law countries) have recourse against global and potentially permanent reputation and personal damage that impacts upon their families and livelihoods as well them.

Obviously the HOA will ignore such things, as I’ve anecdotally demonstrated. As for yourself, you just keeping repeating yourself without even an attempt of an anecdote or a link to support your counter argument.

Microsoft seems determined to make all of the wrong choices for Windows.

I tried the New Outlook after having issues with the default mail app. I was greeted with a message "To add your iCloud account to Outlook, we need to sync your emails, contacts, and events to the Microsoft Cloud."

I'm sorry WHAT?!? You're telling me that to use a local email service I need to sync with Microsoft servers?

Someone here please tell me that this is just because it was in beta and all of the features didn't exist yet? Otherwise what the hell is Microsoft thinking?

For the record I just did not do this and any chance of using Windows for productivity tasks went completely out the Window. Windows was always just primarily for gaming but having email there would have been nice.
I never imagined myself using a Linux desktop everyday, but I don't want to pay Apple for 64gb of RAM and an acceptable number of monitors via my docking station, and Microsoft is just becoming terrible.
