Is that if the channel is inactive, or the viewer’s account? It seems like if you watch anything else, it’s not a problem, but if you’re only subscribed to 1 infrequent channel you might have that problem?

I’d click on the link, but then I’d be contributing to the stats.

I do remember seeing this tweet quoted on the Elon missed prediction tracker: https://elonmusk.today/

Taylor Swift moving to another platform would absolutely cause a massive crowd to follow. Maybe we’ll see it happen one day.

Oh phew, I don’t have flowers on my blanket either. I guess I’m safe too. Otherwise I’m in exactly the same position as this meme, and that would make me have to think about my life choices.

I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

My experience with cooking has been that because I don’t do it enough, I’m constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

In comparison, I’ve got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don’t have customers other than myself)

I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

I’ve been able to get demos of autopilot in one of my friend’s cars, and I’ll always remember autopilot correctly stopping at a red light, followed by someone in the next lane over blowing right through it several seconds later at full speed.

Unfortunately “better than the worst human driver” is a bar we passed a long time ago. From recent demos I’d say we’re getting close to the “average driver”, at least for clear visibility conditions, but I don’t think even that’s enough to have actually driverless cars driving around.

There were over 9M car crashes with almost 40k deaths in the US in 2020, and that would be insane to just decide that’s acceptable for self driving cars as well. No company is going to want that blood on their hands.

That doesn’t sound like a self-driving car to me.

The driver’s tweet says it kept going, but I didn’t find the full video.

Whether or not a human should stop seems beside the point. Autopilot should immediately get the driver to take back control if something unexpected happens, and stop if the driver doesn’t take over. Getting into an actual collision and just continuing to drive is absolutely the wrong behavior for a self-driving car.

What are the chances of everyone interested in this project already having a tablet? I don’t own any, and I certainly wouldn’t be going out to buy one just to test running Linux on it. I do have multiple old phones I could turn into development test devices however. Anything is better than nothing.

There is however over 200 Cybertrucks for rent on Turo. I guess all the owners got bored of them already.

I also got my first computer around then. I saved up for ages and bought the first gen Intel MacBook with an Intel Core Duo (2 cores, no hyperthreading). I still have that laptop somewhere… It blew my mind it could run Windows, and Windows laptops couldn’t compare at the time.

I envy your world, free of American politics.

I’ve done basically this in the past by encrypting a text file with GPG. But a real password manager will integrate with your browser and helps prevent getting phished by verifying the domain before entering a password. It also syncs across all my devices, which my GPG file only worked well on my desktop.

The goal should be to have less uninformed people overall by educating the population. But unfortunately the people in charge keep voting against funding education (and basically anything beneficial to society).

I don’t really think Stockholm syndrome applies here. I don’t watch YouTube out of some irrational bond with the platform. I watch YouTube because it’s literally the only place the creators I watch upload. I would absolutely follow the creators I watch to whatever platform the content is available on. Until then, I’m stuck with YouTube and ad blocking extensions.

It really depends on what you’re measuring. Good luck measuring the distance from a corner if you can’t get 0 to touch the end.

Tape measures are almost always designed with this in mind, so you can hook the end over an edge, or butt it up against something and the measurement will be accurate both ways, since the metal end can slide in or out by just the right amount.
