I bet the cage will be gold since Trump loves gold.

Causing damage for political purposes - terrorists.

Death penalty.

The money required to double the bitcoin hash rate and maintain double is immense. It’s specialized hardware that would need to be manufactured (lead time while network continues to grow, plus who even has the capacity to do that other than TSMC or Samsung) and the network would see it coming and have a chance to do something about it.

It was a risk when it was smaller, but the ability to pull an attack off like that now and maintain the attack isn’t practically in the realm of possibilities. (Edit and that’s not even getting into where they’d get the power to power the network which is estimated at 173Twh a year and the need to keep expanding that power to maintain the attack in adversarial conditions.)

Attacking the network in other ways via corrupt laws with multi government cooperation would be far easier.

Honey, the spread sheet is saying 1 + 1 = 3!

Things are still happening, it’s just slow to adopt.

E.g.

There’s a lot of work being done around tokenizing stocks. The 3 day settlement period would become instant for example. But that’s no small feat to implement. That could be a decades long endeavor between all exchanges for example.

Also until recently, the SEC was hostile towards it all in the USA, with some pivotal multi year long court cases only being resolved in the past year or so where the SEC lost. (E.g is Ethereum a security or not? Well, now it is not. Now we also have the ETFs)

Ethereum only recently had some pretty big upgrades as well, which are going to be key to unlocking growth potential as well. A couple months ago they had a peak of 800 transactions per second, and the road map of these upgrades going to >100k (note these are including the level 2 networks that use the L1 ethereum for their security, like Arbitrum. Level 1 is somewhere between 15-20 right now. As L1 grows, L2s also grow)

I don’t know when the killer app that brings everyone into daily use will happen, but more and more behind the scenes things will slowly adopt it and you won’t even realize it. Like maybe when you do a bank to bank transfer, it’ll be that Visa VTAP thing I linked above, and it won’t take 1 to 3 business days.

You can get a DrinkMate which can carbonate anything, no need to dilute. It has a built in pressure release, and is easily cleanable by design.

Don’t use a sodastream, it’s not meant for anything but water. It’d make a mess and be very hard to clean.

Citizens United was the final straw in the downfall of America democracy.

It’s been inevitable since.

Unless it’s overturned it’s over, and I don’t think they can overturn it.

All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?

But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.

To start ya. It’ll eventually be all their models, we’ll… probably not the CT.

So the headline is pretty inaccurate.

There will be a person in the passenger seat. They aren’t a safety driver, or driver at all. They’ve been operating with an actual safety driver for around a year now for employees only.

We don’t really know what they’ll do, but I highly doubt it’s jump for the wheel if it’s about to do something. I think it’s going to be more of a, the car decides it can’t do anything and is just sitting there incorrectly and they won’t have to dispatch someone to fix it like Waymo does. This could be a legitimate saftey issue if the car is just stuck on the road.

Once they’re happy it’s not getting in situations like that they’ll remove the person and dispatch people as needed.

But we won’t know for a few more days when we get reports of what they’re doing while the first people test it.

The purpose built one coming in 2026 is a 2 seater. This launch is using the new Model Y’s

Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”.

Saw this yesterday which is relevant

I’ve had recent problems with FedEx like this as well. Like 3 of the past 4 deliveries it says it’s going to deliver maybe a day early, then just fucking sits in the depo in the city ALL DAY while still saying it’s going to be delivered today, until it’s the end of the day and it switches to tomorrow.

Ah, i thought it was a hole in space or something like that, so the absence of anything, and even space was something, but not matter specifically.

It’s a matter replicator, I don’t think a black hole is matter?

I knew they wouldn’t necessarily investigate it, that’s always their discretion, but I had no idea there was no actual bite to the rule if they didn’t comply. That’s stupid.

AEB braking was originally designed to not prevent a crash, but to slow the car when a unavoidable crash was detected.

It’s since gotten better and can also prevent crashes now, but slowing the speed of the crash was the original important piece. It’s a lot easier to predict an unavoidable crash, than to detect a potential crash and stop in time.

Insurance companies offer a discount for having any type of AEB as even just slowing will reduce damages and their cost out of pocket.

Not all AEB systems are created equal though.

Maybe disengaging AP if an unavoidable crash is detected triggers the AEB system? Like maybe for AEB to take over which should always be running, AP has to be off?

Well it’s not that it was a crash caused by a level 2 system, but that they’ll investigate it.

So you can’t hide the crash by disengaging it just before.

Looks like it’s actually 30s seconds not 10s, or maybe it was 10s once upon a time and they changed it to 30?

The General Order requires that reporting entities file incident reports for crashes involving ADS-equipped vehicles that occur on publicly accessible roads in the United States and its territories. Crashes involving an ADS-equipped vehicle are reportable if the ADS was in use at any time within 30 seconds of the crash and the crash resulted in property damage or injury
