does anyone know statistics on computer-controlled cars' safety? I can guess "safer than humans most likely", but by how much?

it seems like these robotaxis have been around long enough to have conclusions now

Looks like they rotated all signings keys a day earlier:

https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000157005

In October 2025, F5 rotated its signing certificates and keys used to cryptographically sign F5-produced digital objects.

As a result:

    BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later are signed with new certificates and keys
    BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later contain new public keys used to verify certain F5-produced objects released in October 2025 and later
    BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later may not be able to verify certain F5-produced objects released prior to October 2025
    BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released prior to October 2025 may not be able to verify certain F5-produced objects released in October 2025 and later

I wonder if there's a bet to be made on future 8K disclosures following quietly updated signing keys. A bet against F5 placed this morning would've only made 3.6%.

I think Shape Security qualifies for this list. They raised $100M before having a customer, seemed to die, quietly got adopted by a large pool of F50 companies, and exited to F5 for a $1B valuation. That’s a big chunk of change for a security play, especially back in 2019.

Their moat ended up being two fold. One, they were the only tech stack that could handle the scale needed back then. Two, they had a crazy culture of never letting adversaries win and would push daily updates to keep attackers off their customers. Both took a long time to iterate and build towards and nobody thought it was cool while they worked through it.

I had a Brostrum procedure to fix my ankle. I researched lots before. Was expecting months in plaster.

The surgeon bandaged it and gave me an inflatable shoe. After 2 weeks I was allowed to walk on it.

I’m pleased he was progressive!

Same! Big shoutout to Dr Thuillier at UCSF. Really changed my life.

Rumor mill explanations range from flock of birds to Russian air defense systems. Pilots appeared to be trying very hard to safe it.

Tangentially related: Does anyone in the HN community have a recommendation for a reputable place for obtaining a lab-grown diamond for an engagement ring?

If you’re in San Francisco stop in at Derco. They’re underneath the Airbnb building.

I'm going to assume a bit and for that I'll apologize in advance. I'm assuming you're in a high risk group for HIV. Why not just use condoms? Is it because they aren't 100% effective?

brunoTbear · 2 years ago

Some of us prefer to enjoy sex as a beautiful act of human connection and condoms detract from being in the moment of joy.

This is like saying to someone killed in a motorcycle accident why didn’t you use a car. It’s a reductive, unempathetic and frankly unproductive take. Please think before asking this again.

I’m starting to think Bruno has been lying to us about being a bear all this time

brunoTbear · 2 years ago

It would be rather silly to assume all bears have the same last name "bear"! It's not as if people all walk around saying "Oh hi I'm Timothy Human" "Nice to meet you, I'm Rachel Human, are we related?"

Which, come to think of it, is kind of a funny notion, and a nice reminder that despite our differences we really are all related!
