I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.

On the 8 Pro, the bump is recessed relative to the Otterbox case (given the “tough” Otterbox model for the 8 Pro, no idea what it’s called)
Do you use the phone without a protective case? I find that most cases are designed so that the bump is flush with the back of the case.
That being said, I prefer thicker cases like the Otterbox oder Spigen Tough whatever series, so I could see how such a case would be “too much” for someone.
Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.
And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.
They ask for your search history then
Crocodiles are reptiles, right?
No idea where you’d like to use live captions, but n maybe this helps:
I think you’re falling into a bit of a trap here: perfect is the enemy of good. Not everything has to be automated, instead of growing pains, there can also be gains.
Remember, we are currently aiming to get these vehicles on the road, alongside regular drivers. They use sensors and computer vision to read street signs, detect people etc., all with the reaction speed of a machine. What if the in-between product is simply a better driver with faster reaction times? That is the current goal, really - no one wants to automate everything, simply because that wouldn’t be feasible anytime soon.
Yes, again, we’re not there yet and these things are far from perfect. But let’s first just aim to get them good enough, and then maybe just a little better than your average driver.
As for the your proposed business model: we have capable drivers now, why do these business models don’t exist right now? Why is there no fast lane that allows me pay to get to my destination faster? What would the technology of driverless cars introduce that would enable these regulations?
It’s not about everything being automated. We also have to differentiate between early incarnations of autonomous vehicles and the desired, final state.
A manual override will of course be part of early models for the foreseeable future, but the overall goal is for the machine to make better decisions than a human could.
I don’t have any quarrel with life or death decisions being made by a machine if they have been made according to the morals and ethics of the people who designed the machine, and with the objective data that was available to the system at the time, which is often better than what would be available to a human in the same situation.
It’s the interpretation of said data that is still not fully there yet, and we humans will have to come to terms with the fact that a machine might indeed kill another human being in a situation where acting any different might cause more harm.
I don’t subscribe to the notion that a machine’s decision is always worth less than the decision of another entity participating in the same situation, just because it so happens that the second entity happens to be a human being.
They actually joke about it in the show, screaming “Aah, a crocodile”, and it’s just some woman working there. Same with the director being a lion, I believe.
The exhibit has turtles and penguins.
Yes, you probably are. Please don’t forget that the current available technology constantly improves, and that we actually don’t see any good examples of self - driving cars that much - the most prominent displays are from Tesla, and they arguably build the worst cars we’ve seen since Ford came up with the assembly line.
The technology used in autonomous vehicles, e. g. sensors, have been used in safety critical application for decades in other contexts, and a machine is capable of completely different reaction times. Also, if autonomous vehicles cooperate in traffic sticking to their programmed behavior, observing traffic rules etc., you will get less reckless driving, with traffic flow becoming more deterministic. These benefits will particularly increase once self-driving cars don’t have to share the road with human drivers.
I would always trust a well-engineered, self-driving car more than one driven by a human.
Disclaimer: I used to work on these things in a research lab. Also, we’re not quite there yet, so please have a little patience.
Not really. A solid set for security Torx is available for like $20 from reputable brands. Naturally, you can get higher quality sets and sets that add other security bits, but you still won’t land in an unacceptable price range even for private use, let alone a pro shop.
Hey, much appreciated!
Is anyone speaking Chinese able to tell me what the guy in the first scene of the video is crying out? The one where the rocket falls horizontally. I mean, I have a general idea what is being said there conceptually, but I’d love to get an actual, accurate translation.
Yes, targeted attacks like that definitely exist, most famously maybe the most recent social pressure to merge a vulnerability to the xz library by actor “Jia Tan”:
This started a whole discussion about relying on (often unpaid) volunteer work for critical systems and the pressure and negativity these people face, which is a discussion that was absolutely needed, and which we are still lightyears away from fixing.
Currently, open source is still treated like this: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10341
(I can only recommend reading the whole story around this issue, which boils down to Microsoft admitting they rely on an open source project for something they consider critical to their customers, but not willing to pay the maintainer a bounty for fixing the issue)
That’s why there is a huge market for 0-day exploits.
Couldn’t watch, so I got a summary. Maybe it’s helpful for someone else:
Bluefin is introducing a new “Stable” tag for their Fedora distribution, in addition to the existing “GTS” (Grand Touring Support) and “Latest” tags.
The Stable tag will provide a middle ground between the aggressively updated Latest Fedora and the more conservative GTS version.
Stable will use the latest Fedora release, but with a slightly older kernel that has been more thoroughly tested and vetted by the Bluefin team.
This is intended to cater to enthusiasts who want the latest Fedora features, but with a bit more stability and reliability.
Bluefin will be publishing weekly updates for the Stable images, rather than waiting 2 weeks between updates like the Fedora CoreOS team.
The Stable images will also use zstd chunked compression to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed for updates.
Bluefin is unsure whether the Stable configuration (latest Fedora, slightly older kernel) or the GTS configuration (older Fedora, latest kernel) will ultimately feel more stable in practice
The Stable tag is a response to user feedback requesting access to the latest Fedora releases, rather than having to wait for the GTS version.
Nvidia driver updates for the Stable images will also be provided on a regular basis.
Bluefin is interested in exploring this middle ground between aggressively updated and conservatively updated Fedora distributions.
Given how political punk was right from the start, I wouldn’t call it “just a music movement”.
NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.
NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.
