Cue all the people portraying #Navalny as a liberal crusader for progressive values in 3, 2, 1...
(He's a far-right ultranationalist pro-imperialism activist and has only moderately softened his stances in recent years to attract more sympathy from the west)
CEO Elon Musk first unveiled the electric pickup model back in 2019, claiming that its "ultra-hard stainless steel" body and "transparent metal" glass were "literally bulletproof."
What I find interesting is that companies like #Tesla (that are glorified hardware && software companies) or "smart" home appliances suppliers like Bosch or LG do not have a dedicated official portal to submit bug reports or feature requests.
In this type of instances, the user have bought the hardware, and will get "free" support.
Basically the hardware is loaded with sensors and with better software the user can have a better quality of life, but there is no way to communicate those!
I'm always baffled by the phrase "no-nonsense judge". Are there nonsense judges out there? "Okay, and now I'll invite the defense to make their opening remarks... but first, UNLEASH THE LEMURS!!!"
@majorlinux Not by any normal definition of the word "recalled", they didn't.
And normally, if your backup camera has some rare bug (certainly nobody I know has ever encountered that)... it continues having said rare bug for the rest of your car's life. It doesn't get a free update over-the-air installed at your convenience.
These Shahed-136/131 have been apparently downed mostly intact. Of it would be only one then it could be a malfunction but three separate events indicate the usage of electronic warfare. Especially the first pictures shows a trail behind the drone. It landed as softly as possible.
@Tendar It's weird. Can't just be GPS jamming, because they switch to INS. Shouldn't be possible to GPS spoof them. Have they found a way to mess with the INS module remotely? Or maybe the altitude sensor (plus jamming so they can't get it from GPS, assuming they would do that in the first place)? Either way, sounds like something that would be extremely high power!
Cyber..uck?!
It seems that it's not only the "unbreakable" windows that were a lie 😀, the whole thing is all hat and no cattle, a toy that ... looks tough 🤣
Read about and watch the misery of driving a #Tesla#Cybertrack off road. In a nutshell:
"you don't need to spend $80+ thousand to go out on the trails and have some fun", that is, if you find it fun to fail and have your car fall apart. 😂
@65dBnoise Software clearly needs to be patched. But that happens OTA.
It's worth remembering that Model 3 shipped without even a radio enabled. And while CT's current manual is just a slightly modified Model 3 manual, Model 3 didn't have one at all.
Tesla considers this fine because early buyers when production rates are tiny (as CT production rates are now) tend to be hardcore fans who don't mind waiting a few months to get all the added features, so long as they get their vehicle sooner.
@65dBnoise Company's happy and the (small number of) early owners are happy with getting their cars earlier and they get OTA updated later, so I honestly don't see the problem, except for PR things like the above.
@axbom That's not to say you can't decipher what's happening, it's just a nontrivial task.
Neural networks effectively build their own algorithms. Human-designed code laying out the Transformers architecture is like 0,00001% of the "code" involved. The rest is learned by the models, in an UNSUPERVISED manner.
They're not puppets. They learn how to model the world on their own.
If you are a citizen of any EU Member State, I implore you to consider signing the Tax-the-Rich citizens' initiative: https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/
The idea is to tax the super rich and then use the money for climate transition. :blobcathappypaws:
This is an official EU citizens' initiative, meaning that if it reaches certain thresholds, it will have to be considered by the EU institutions. That's a really powerful tool, if actually used.
@rysiek No, it's realism. You can't just propose a bill without first gaming out how the other side is going to respond.
Pretend that you're a rich person who adores their money and already spends their days jetsetting around the world. What tricks would YOU use? You can afford all the greatest accounting and legal minds in the world to help you come up with them, so they're going to be good!
If you haven't gamed this out, what you have is worthless.
@rysiek Because the outcomes of the countermeasures may not be just neutral, they may actually end up harming ordinary people far more than they harm the wealthy.
The point of legislation isn't "showy stunts", it's "actual outcomes".
Game it out and defend your work, or stop wasting your breath and people's time.
@rysiek It depends entirely on the specific countermeasure in response to the specific policy, but can range from the money and jobs just leaving, companies wasting money on countermeasures rather than salaries, countermeasures leading to reduced revenues, and so forth.
Again: you need to game out what countermeasure will be applied to what policy.
@rysiek Lets just say that not only have you come up with some brilliant unescapable plan to tax the rich more but even keep them from leaving the country! Infallable, right?
Okay, now play a rich person. "Fuck this. Okay, now it's no longer "my money" and "my luxury", it's now "my company's". I don't have a private jet, but my company does. I don't have a beach house in Fiji, my company has a small office in Fiji. Etc.
Game out countermeasures, or your proposal is worthless.
