From the article, this looks like it’s for GM’s “Cruise” program, which is already out there in limited scope in a couple cities. It’s aself-driving car service limited to a small area of San Francisco and… I want to say Austin?
They’re already operating vehicles that are essentially “self-driving” now. This is about rolling out a new class of vehicle using the same technology, but without the human controls.
I don’t know a lot about the service, or what, exactly it does, but I suspect it works well because the area the vehicles operate in is extremely limited and the vehicles can have an incredibly detailed, and up-to-date map of that area. I’d also wager the area selected is free of most obstacles and has only one type of terrain, i.e., “downtown low-speed streets” or similar.
That said, I can’t imagine the NTSHA will allow a vehicle on the road without any sort of manual emergency control mechanism in place. Though, it may be very rudimentary, like others have suggested, a joystick and a throttle/brake intended to get the vehicle somewhere safe so people can get out.
It’s okay to say “No” to two things at the same time without having to choose one or the other.
For fuck’s sake, this article is nothing but outrage bait. Wired has gone to shit.
Let’s not forget the Saudi royal family. They really hate social media.
Yes, this is called regulatory capture.
Capitalism is great, but it absolutely must be tempered by regulation.
The problem comes when the capitalist gains influence over the regulator, aka, regulatory capture.
As an Xbox junkie, I want more stupid games on the Xbox platform.
But even I can recognize how bad this is for the industry.
Disco stick, as in
“Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick / I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.”
Awesome, thank you!
I didn’t see any content when I tried it before posting, so I figured to just leave it out. You’re right, though. Hopefully, as Lemmy evolves, we’ll have a way to follow or “subscribe to” Mastodon users like we do communities.
You can also find it on Mastodon, @elonjet@mastodon.social
The intent behind the feature is obviously to keep a list of known-bad domains there, to disable extensions Mozilla hasn’t vetted as safe on said malicious domains.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’ll be set to ""
by default, unless you crank up some security setting to extra-paranoid, or, obviously, set it yourself.
Running an entire Win11 VM with Edge would probably be faster than the current-gen Teams client. ;)
From the article, emphasis mine:
“Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably,” the moderators wrote. “But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.”
I think they’re wrong. I don’t think Reddit has the funds.
It’s not about the ads. It’s about the telemetry you can get on user behavior from a mobile app. Reddit wants to leverage that as part of its ad sales package.
I have been casually browsing during work on my desktop.
The quality of content has dropped significantly. To the point that this morning I replaced the reddit link with a Lemmy one.
Oh, the event held off-site, optional, open to the public, part of Pride is offensive to Christians?
Good. Their bigotry and hatred is offensive to people attending Pride.
At inception I think it was legitimately a place for guys with oversized stuff to talk. Like, there are actual issues guys with giant dongs have to deal with.
But it quickly devolved into lulz my girl says my dick is too biiiggg!!!
There have actually been a few cases that have made it through the courts that apply “employee” status based on how the company treats the worker rather than how they’re paid.
Especially in cases where the worker is on long-term assignment somewhere like Google.
