this is a pointer to https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/waymo-is-not-in-the-v...

In San Francisco, the vehicles often pull into bike lanes to pick up and drop off passengers — because that’s what they’re programmed to do, according to advocates who’ve asked the company for an explanation.

Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is “too high a bar” because customers expect to be dropped off in them, said Christopher White, executive director of the San Francisco Bike Coalition.

“People always point out that unlike human driven cars, the AVs stop at lights and obey the speed limit. However, they are really only as good and effective and safe as they are programmed to be,” White said. “Waymos pull over into bike lanes all the time for pickups and drop-offs and that’s neither legal nor safe but the companies say that is a normal practice and that’s what customers expect.”

Can't find a Waymo article about this, but Lyft and Uber (let alone trad taxis) also do this. I'm not sure that this is a particularly autonomous-car-shaped sin.

Watched it twice, cried both times. Probably could have had a few minutes cut while still tight if you care about that kind of thing, recommend watching in IMAX since it's a space movie. One notable annoying science inaccuracy that felt particularly blatent was jurer gur pragevshtr jnf haonynaprq sbe ab ernfba but that's forgivable.

Also an engineer on this incident. This was a network routing misconfiguration - an overlapping route advertisement caused traffic to some of our inference backends to be blackholed. Detection took longer than we’d like (about 75 minutes from impact to identification), and some of our normal mitigation paths didn’t work as expected during the incident.

The bad route has been removed and service is restored. We’re doing a full review internally with a focus on synthetic monitoring and better visibility into high-impact infrastructure changes to catch these faster in the future.

I’m pretty surprised that Anthropic can directly impact the infra for AWS Bedrock as this article suggests.

We don't directly manage AWS Bedrock deployments today, those are managed by AWS.

I can’t imagine the average person equates hitting this button with forfeiting their privacy.

Pretty short change for reducing O(n^2) impact with a cache.

This change includes the following scalability improvements for documents containing extremely large paragraphs:

- Reduces the size of layout contexts to account for LF control chars.

- Due to typical access patterns while laying out paragraphs, VCL was making O(n^2) calls to vcl::ScriptRun::next(). VCL now uses an existing global LRU cache for script runs, avoiding much of this overhead.
