If only Washington Post or Los Angeles Times were allowed to put out their similar views.

Truth hurts I guess.

It needs to be way way better than ‘better than average’ if it’s ever going to be accepted by regulators and the public. Without better sensors I don’t believe it will ever make it. Waymo had the right idea here if you ask me.

If anyone was somehow still thinking RoboTaxi is ever going to be a thing. Then no, it’s not, because of reasons like this.

For now, Discord users in Türkiye face limited access to the platform, though it remains unclear whether a full ban will be implemented in the coming days.

Still working for me on hotel wifi.

Edit: it won’t launch on my laptop now. Stuck trying to update. Still works on my phone.

. Proportionately, he uses 13 percent more all-or-nothing terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts consider a sign of advancing age.

If you ask me this is a sign of worsening mental health as much as it is just getting older.

The email continues that UK employees “need to be mindful of the hours they work and are asked to have 11 hours outside of work in each 24-hour period.”

This is an attempt to stay within working time regulations in the UK but they are violating this bit

By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest: …. between working weeks – 24 hours every 7 working days or 48 hours every 14 working days

By having a 19 day unbroken run which, as I understand it, is not legal.

Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.

Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.

Concepts of a deal

I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.

I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.

I wonder how many millions they need to be inspired to update their platform so it doesn’t need a regular outage every Tuesday.

Just saw this a few hours ago. If it wasn’t for this post I think I’d have forgotten about it already.

I guess it’s fine, just entirely unremarkable.

Credibility: High Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual

IMO it would be better to highlight factuality over credibility in the <summary>.

He’s going to keep saying it while people keep reporting it so urgently. Anything to get back into the news after the Dem’s stole the spotlight for a bit.

On a national poll the dems need to be about 5 points ahead to be in with a shot of taking the electoral college.

This is a step in the right direction, lots of work to do though. I’m hopeful the more folks see of Harris, rather than their pre-existing largely meme originated opinions, the more they’ll like her.

They’ve committed to support AM5 (the LGA socket launched 2022) through at least 2027.

“We envision other types of more complex guardrails should exist in the future, especially for agentic use cases, e.g., the modern Internet is loaded with safeguards that range from web browsers that detect unsafe websites to ML-based spam classifiers for phishing attempts,” the research paper says.

The thing is folks know how the safeguards for the ‘modern internet’ actually work and are generally straightforward code. Where as LLMs are kinda the opposite, some mathematical model that spews out answers. Product managers thinking it can be corralled to behave in a specific, incorruptible way, I suspect will be disappointed.

Just from my own screenshots yesterday and today. I have a couple of really small bets in play.

I’ve been tracking the odds on Betfair. They have moved from 1.54 to 1.58 (decimal odds, 1 is dead cert, 2 is 50/50), so very marginally less likely Trump win. ‘Slumped’ they have not.

Harris is at 5.4 and Biden way behind at 15.5.

Well she’s not going to say otherwise at this point is she? Plenty of opportunity to ‘reflect on my choice and offer my service to the country’ if he does step down.
