Yeah, driving manually is a chore, but it seems so much more relaxing and easy than trying to babysit an insane computer which is great 80% of the time, and attempts to steer into traffic or onto a rail line the other 20% of the time.

Obviously there's no intention behind it, but my animal brain has a hard time treating it as anything other than an assassination plot. Works often enough to lower your guard so it can slam into a semi-truck at 80 kph because it was the wrong colour, while you're distracted with the touchpad menu.

After a while, you're not even actively thinking about shifting etc., you just do it. Never considered it a chore (well, more than driving already is, build public transport).

What the gently caress. That's like, on the level of a decently impressive tech demo of something in ongoing development. Why in the world is that allowed on actual roads with actual people in the wild?!  It's an old truism that the intermediate levels autonomous driving along the lines of "can drive on its own but driver needs to be able to react within X seconds" are essentially worthless, since to be able to do that safely you basically need the same capabilities as 100% safe reliable autonomous driving. Tesla just manages to prove that again by just doing it unsafely.

Yeah, I mean it's not difficult, I don't mind doing it either, but if there were a perfect AI that could actually drive safely without my intervention at all, I would probably prefer it to guiding my car through traffic, and then I'd just drive manually in "fun" situations instead of during my commute. But dealing with the constant possibility that I'd have to intervene, while at the same time not really having anything to do while the system is working properly, sounds absolutely like the worst of all worlds.

Well the autonomous driving space is shifting gears from "definitely tomorrow" to "maybe but possibly never". Uber and Lyft sold their autonomous divisions off. Waymo isn't really expanding and appears to not be buying the 80k SUVs for the taxi fleet they had planned. Tesla went from 1 million robotaxis by the end of 2020 to https://twitter.com/GordonJohnson19/status/1387379023496585220?s=19 Sad trombone.

‘Disaster Girl’ has sold her popular meme as an NFT for $500,000quote:Another internet meme has sold for big bucks online: Zoë Roth, best known as “Disaster Girl” for the popular image macro taken by her father in 2005 of her smirking at the camera while a house burns down in the background, has sold the original copy of the meme as an NFT for 180 Ether, worth almost $500,000. Very curious to see if she can actually cash that amount of money out. Also lol she's selling effectively infinite prints. NFTs keep getting dumber. I don't understand someone who would buy an image online (or a json pointing to a url, really) for 500k when you explicitly aren't getting the rights to it. What would be the point.

I don't know if y'all have been following the Basecamp saga, but a third of the company just resigned. https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1388212468510380034 Backstory: Cofounder's side: Talking about politics is not positive, and we're not doing it at work any more. Also, we're getting rid of some wellness benefits. "It's none of our business what you do outside of work, and it's not Basecamp's place to encourage certain behaviors — regardless of good intention." What really happened: Some employees were keeping a list of "funny names" and the co-founder got mad when other employees started talking about racism and how it was bad.

The committees thing wasn't even politics either, any form of decision making that isn't "Jason Fried and DHH have absolute authority and no one can question them" is explicitly banned. Basecamp looms large in the Ruby on Rails world (they more or less control development of it), and Rails lost a few core team members as part of all this BS. Also among the 1/3 are department heads of marketing, design, and CS (I'm pretty sure the only heads left are DHH, Jason, HR, and Ryan Singer, who is about as much of an rear end in a top hat as DHH / Jason).

McD’s franchise agreement mandates particular machine. Manufacturer makes beaucoup bucks on maintenance, has incentive to make it fail frequently and cryptically. They and McD’s go way back and McD’s corporate doesn’t mind the franchisees getting screwed by the arrangement.
