I give it 6 years for not being able to disable the "safety" feature for all the cars in EU.

And why is this skill important, if a machine can do it ? What's the last time you ploughed your field with oxen ?

I just got Claude to download and install all the models and servers and agents and prepare all the launch scripts for me... no need to learn, just ask it to do it for you

People are growingly concerned with both the car manu and Apple/Google control over their car and related extra software goodies.

10 out of random 10 drivers out there don't care about the software running in the car.

Laws are really needed when businesses don’t play nicely. I don’t know the legal specifics, but I’m sure glad I don’t need to buy $1000’s of specialty tools to maintain my vehicle, and sure glad that replacement parts are readily available (and will be for decades).

You drive a self-maintained car. Nothing wrong with that, but I would guess 95 out of 100 drivers on the road don't care about the car at all - they just want reliable transportation from A to B and perhaps some confort.

Just image how much worse society would be if car manus did the same thing as Apple and had ID-paired parts. Sorry! Your AC doesn’t work anymore, please install a genuine Honda oil filter at your nearest Authorized Honda Shop, available for a minimum of $500.

I don't have to imagine that al all, all premium car manufactures digitally id their components and will not accept 3rd party replacements.

I would guess there are a couple of orders of magnitude difference between the complexity of interfaces comparing the head unit with wheels and tires.

Like, the head unit is in control of all that happens on the slow bus of the car, and needs to pass independent safety certifications for a complex system.

Why should they ?! Do you also want to force them to design their cars so the engine is easily replaceable by a Custom Engine OS so that the community can build their own engines ?!?

"they only be stealing a tiny amount so not worth doing anything"

Because the economics are simply not there.

There is not enough money in space exploration, let's be real. SpaceX biggest customer is itself. Hence the vaporware about datacenters in space.

understanding that this is one infinitesimally small cost

They are stealing your money with make believe numbers, but just suck it up.

where would it be stored ? it's just a big set of numbers.

what can it do ? it's just a big set of numbers, if you trust the host that's good enough

If the repo is already forked, what difference does it make if Google supports it or not? The community can just continue development if they so choose

In fact, more then what the call seller expects, not the market.

LLMs can play chess, Gemini 3.1 Pro reaches an accuracy on 96.9 on chess.com and wins regularly against stockfish 18 set on elo 2000

Quantity is a quality of its own.

Maybe there is enough plane onboard capacity to deal with just 50 batteries, let's say; multiply the failure rate expected and the pax capacity of the plane and you get how many batteries you can afford to have onboard and still be able to deal with worst case scenario.

Don't assign to malice what can be explained by incompetence:

* new automated UX experiments starts * the UI bot made a change that made the page unscrollable * the experiment has a much higher rate of retention then the control (because people can't scroll) * the experiment is deemed a success by results analysis (no one looks at the page to see WHY) * the experiment is blessed as the new pipeline

Such an obvious business improvement made by Gemini !

You could prototype this in a few hundred lines of python.

You mean Claude can one-shot this.

I think Google has a database with everything. EVERYTHING.

The human also started the bot.

A human is not punished, the access of the robot to the API is restricted. The human has not suffered any damage.

The consequences for Google are that the people are misusing the keys and the Google is fixing that. They're not banning anybody using proper API keys

but its not mass surveillance, its targeted at a large but finite number of people

Appear weak when you are strong, and all of that

Dude, $26k Chinese cars come with lidar in the base configuration

It's between 7k (chinese) and 17k (european) now.

20 kWh per hour

I give it 4 weeks

i think we might need aother great fire to widen the streets at this point

Have you read the article ? The guys in the Philippines are providing high level executive indications, they don't drive remotely the car or have any low level control of the car.
