  • oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

    Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

    There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

    I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

    Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

    Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.



  • That said, the amount of troubleshooting and wasted time that it took to figure out that the CPU was responsible for months of random crashes

    I went through something similar, so I understand.

    My (AMD) CPU was defective. But if was only noticeable that it would never be able to wake up from suspend. I didn’t really notice crashes. Just broken suspend. I thought it was a Linux kernel bug, though couldn’t figure out any details. Only after almost a year of pain (no suspend) the CPU just didn’t boot at all anymore.

    It was sort of replaced under warranty by the store. They took ages to investigate, then gave a store gift card. Likely because the CPU was temporarily out of stock. I had to wait for the CPU to be in stock to be able to buy it again. Fortunately still had the previous AM4 CPU.

    The new CPU suspends without any issues. Took months to be able to not doubt suspend. E.g. if it was suspended I usually thought it had crashed.

    An unreliable CPU is a terrible experience.



  • So instead of accepting that the driver should be GPL and part of the kernel, you turn things around and pretend the development of the kernel is the way that it is because of a conspiracy against Nvidia?

    The bit regarding Wayland doesn’t make sense, no idea what you’re getting at. Though maybe you don’t follow Linux developments?





  • In the EU any bank requires customers to use 2FA. Dutch customs requires critical logistics companies to use 2FA (amongst other stuff).

    From what I recall critical companies must address likely methods to breach their security. It is highly likely that a company will get loads of attempts to check. Similarly, a critical company is expected to deal with employees leaving and ensuring their access is revoked.

    From skimming they seem to say that there isn’t a breach because an account of an ex-employee was used. But that’s too easy, the processes sucked. The way they got in is just one of the things that some EU regulation requires critical companies to address. Same for perhaps not forcing customers to use 2FA. That’s crazy.

    The EU is usually really slow in regulating things. If they got in using a method that the EU said you had to address then it means you had ages of time and nothing was done.

    Really unresponsible. Especially as I think they seem be pretty critical part of the economy.



  • My budget is maximum $50

    There’s a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They’re all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.

    Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/

    He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).







  • So tired of the same arguments. They don’t mean anything in the real world

    The second sentence is a fallacy.

    And it does matter that the company is calling it full self driving while it doesn’t fully self drive. That it would have that capability is something Musk has promised for many years. It’s also a reason that Tesla stock is worth so much.

    Go ahead in a court of law and claim you are not responsible for an accident

    That’s would be a very specific case. Tesla has been reminded multiple times that they need to take into account how people use their vehicles. The company is also under investigation for possible fraud because they are selling something that doesn’t do what people would respect it to do.

    You’re focusing on one thing, but there’s multiple ways that the company could be liable. There’s been multiple articles explaining that the company is either under investigation or that the company has been warned to change things or else.
