Good article! Thanks for the archive link. Amazing that this type of shady shit which Tesla is doing is likewise behind a paywalled source where people can’t get this information as easily.

Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs’ attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit’s contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion — along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash — proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along.

The attorneys high-fived behind him.

Basically too, Tesla has also tried to delete the data again by powering up the unit from the crash, which would have ‘updated’ the device and conveniently removed data. How STRANGE it maintains this behavior… especially for collision snapshots.

Tesla is actively harming people, lying about it, and using shitty tactics to avoid any responsibility for it. Just like its daddy, Elon.

Seriously. This is so fucked yo. I’m NEVER EVER going to buy Tesla.

OCR was more my thinking, not Pandoc. LLMs enable OCR to achieve greater accuracy through context enhancement for example.

I would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.

I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.

These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

I’m. So. Reassured.

What prevents them from getting bigger and doing the same thing. This cycle of sadomasochism needs to stop at the root cause.

Can I still get it anywhere? I love Tetris

Well, I don’t want to credit tumor, oop typo for Trump but I’ll allow it. So tumor and vance.

It was more that Encryption is constantly under threat. I don’t know how that gets downvoted.

Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.

I also tried DuckDuckGo.

Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway

It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

I went with Garuda. It’s pretty. Steam games are hit and miss a bit still tho :/ I have Nvidia and intel stuff. I9-9900k /RTX super 2070.

Man that site is such an ad dump haven… an ad disaster when on iOS.

Maybe the problem is the advertisers and not the consumers. Jeeeesus.

Earth ships are so cool

Like Kagi for web searching.

That is definitely how I read it.

History can’t just be ‘rewritten’ by A.I. and taken as truth. That’s fucking stupid.

I own something from that. I tried running it once and it would barely load. I gave up. Didn’t try again even on a new pc

They said if they PAY to use… and get ads. They are right, I ditched tv for streaming because less ads. Now they want to go full circle? I feel like I can’t even open up the fridge these days without having some agenda or ad start.

Bond, James Bond. Junior.

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

Sorry, uh… I didn’t mean run them at the same time. I had to have a DHCP server stand in for it when I had to take that device itself down (the pi). That was ages ago. But I was still starting out!
