Just a devastating career-long rundown of the dude who drove Google search into the ground, and some of the people on whose necks he stepped along the way

The terms "Autopilot" and "Full Self Driving" are meant to convey that the car is, well, fully self driving.

The government really needs to step in and put a stop to fatally misleading marketing.

self hosters and homelab owners be like: "idk it's not that great I mean sure I run a full redundancy kubernetes cluster and everything is automated into detail and I have CI pipelines set up to automatically integrate the latest code into my services 10 seconds after the update got released and all but like, I don't know it's not that professional or anything"

Professional companies with a lot at stake be like: "We are currently experiencing an issue" (cert/DNS expired) https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/112148837765000872

A genuine question: why do people put diffusion output that looks like trash at the top of their blog posts?

I don't mean your carefully crafted thousandth iteration of your image, I wish you wouldn't but whatever. I mean stuff that was clearly revision one or two, animals with too many legs, people missing half their faces, wavy keyboards, etc.

I hate it, but I also just don't get it. Do your readers *like* looking at that kind of crap?

Game programming is such a fascinating adjacent field: https://twitter.com/maxbittker/status/1782645521888247956

Feels like the right day to repost this quilt

We have the millennium prizes in mathematics. There should be a similar prizes in computer science. Here's 5 problems I suggest for the list. Maybe they're too hard, I'm not sure.

* Synchronizing audio and video streams.
* Detecting an external display has been plugged in. Especially if that display is a projector.
* Establishing that everything is correctly set up at the start of a video conference call. Especially verifying audio is working, and unmuted.
* Bluetooth. Especially emulating the straightforward operation we can do with wired devices: unplugging from one and plugging into the other.
* Printers. Making them work.

I realized companies will sell AI-managed agile retrospectives and I don’t think I’m ready for it

We are VERY SORRY that we don't ship internationally yet. We plan to do international orders once we've figured out a way for them to make sense and not stupidly expensive.

You can always count on @jasonkoebler and the rest of 404 Media for a banger.

I wish I knew more about this project in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
I suspect this is part of bus driver training.

I'm imagining the DMV making it a part of every driving test for your license. Some people learn best by experiencing the consequences of their actions from the victim's perspective.
