The current v1 blade battery has operated in the real world about the same as their original announcement, which also was viewed with skepticism.

These aren’t research laboratory battery advancements without real world scenarios attached. These are announcements for an improved product entering production. Like a new phone being announced, not just a white paper from a lab that hasn’t been scaled.

That we know of. Apple doesn’t exactly have a clean track record of avoiding double speak.

It makes sense if they don’t care. It works well enough for their marketplace and that’s as far as they decided to go with it. Amazon isn’t exactly known for accountability.

Amazon handles fulfillment for tens or thousands of third party sellers.

Unless the item you’re buying says “sold by Amazon” under the Buy buttons, it’s coming from a third party. Prime shipping only means it is coming from the Amazon warehouse, not that Amazon is selling it.

It’s been a major issue for years for commonly counterfeited brands, because apparently Amazon’s warehouses don’t differentiate and all those items are dumped in the same bins, so real products get mixed with fakes and third party sellers get hit with returns, reviews, and even bans for fake products. Apparently Amazon puts the same generic item barcode on all of the items, and once they’re mixed into in the bins they no longer can track individual products back to the original seller.

Quintessential “works for me” response. Must be a software developer.

Well you clearly haven’t used the standard available download (non-beta/nightly release) consistently through last year. Waterfox was using ESR 128 since October 2024, kept that base until finally upgrading to ESR 140 last August. So that’s nearly a year of its base being out of date. So the user agent reported that number… sites really don’t like that since they’re looking at that for support.

Twitch only supports the last TWO versions of Firefox officially and will actively block logging in from older versions. So while you might be able to watch Twitch, if you aren’t already logged in, you won’t be able to login.

There are thousands of posts about it online for Waterfox other forks.

Last time I tried Waterfox some sites like Twitch that actively block usage on old browsers, refused to work because the latest Waterfox release was based on a Firefox like 20+ builds behind.

Firefox was on like version 142 and the latest Waterfox download was based on build 128.

Meanwhile commercial shipping in international waters uses the worst fuels on the planet and has basically zero regulation. Emitting thousands of times the pollutants every day, but that’s not flashy and doesn’t involve SpaceX which is guaranteed instant clickbait.

Support your local Street Pharmacist, not Big Pharma!

I never said it was solely on them, but saying that has no bearing on it is ridiculous as well.

We also had COVID which many/most schools had no fucking idea how to handle. There’s basically an entire year of wasted education there.

Remote learning is a completely different beast. And digital social interaction is completely different than being physically at school with friends. Social interactions are a large part of learning as well.

Blame it on the technology though, because admitting that Republicans plan are ALWAYS terrible for anyone below the 1%, without exception, somehow is impossible.

I’m sure the systemic defunding and dismantling of the public education system across the United States at the hands of Republican lawmakers over the same timeframe has absolutely nothing to do with it.

How the fuck does age gating prevent cyber bullying? That’s not an age issue, it’s an asshole issue.

Oh wait, because it’s not about age at all but identifying individuals who think differently when the regime. Whichever regime that is.

Ah the classic Linux community response to any complaint.

1. The default either actively ignores what every other software does or purposely uses something other than everything else for no apparent reason.
2. Someone brings up the fact that it makes no sense why it’s different and how it makes the user experience worse.
3. Someone else recommends a half baked solution that still doesn’t really solve the problem and doesn’t address the fact that the specific weirdness being default is the issue. So it ignores the actual complaint and only provides a half solution.
4. Nothing is ever done to address the issue and it remains for decades constantly annoying new users and being one of thousands of small issues that turn potential curious new users away as they accumulate.

Alright, so the radar is detecting a large object in front of the vehicle while travelling at highway speeds. The vision system can see the road is clear.

So with your assumption of listening to whatever says there’s an issue, it slams on the brakes to stop the car. But it’s actually an overpass, or overhead sign that the radar is reflecting back from while the road is clear. Now you have phantom braking.

Now extend that to a sensor or connection failure. The radar or a wiring harness is failing and sporadically reporting back close contacts that don’t exist. More phantom braking, and this time with no obvious cause.

I don’t think it’s necessarily about cost. They were removing sensors both before costs rose and supply became more limited with things like the tariffs.

Too many sensors also causes issues, adding more is not an easy fix. Sensor Fusion is a notoriously difficult part of robotics. It can help with edge cases and verification, but it can also exacerbate issues. Sensors will report different things at some point. Which one gets priority? Is a sensor failing or reporting inaccurate data? How do you determine what is inaccurate if the data is still within normal tolerances?

More on topic though… My question is why is the robotaxi accident rate different from the regular FSD rate? Ostensibly they should be nearly identical.

I’m sure there would have been articles asking why there was an interview uploaded to the YouTube channel and pinned right at the top that wasn’t aired on the channel. It wouldn’t have been under the radar either way, but it would have taken longer to be reported this widely.

But I do get your point.

Pretty sure there’s prior art for this. Recently… like an episode of Black Mirror recently.

They were already doing that.

Every advertising company already monitors you whenever possible to determine things like your age to target ads as effectively as possible. If a isn’t relying on a third party for advertising like Google AdSense, and they’re handling it internally, they definitely know that info.

They already do this for advertising. And it is extremely accurate.
