tredre3 commented on Waymo admits that its autopilot is often just guys from the Philippines   techspot.com/news/111233-... · Posted by u/u1hcw9nx

So,... isn't it illegal to do that. If someone in the Philippines does not have a CA/AZ/Whatever driver's license - then Waymo is breaking the law. It's probably worse than that.

It also proves that Waymo's capabilities are overstated. I keep getting pushback when I complain about specific situations in this forum about how Waymo thinks about complex situations - and this entire time, it may have been humans navigating them.

Foreigners can drive in California without a California license. But it's important to note that in this situation they're not driving at all (the latency would make that unfeasible). They're there to disambiguate complicated situations and point the car in the right direction.

Try to not let clickbait headlines shape your view of a situation.

Why the hell is based jumping illegal?
tredre3 · 3 days ago
Because it's very dangerous and first responders access in national parks isn't always easy. You can obtain a permit to do it, however, see this memo that summarizes the current situation:

tredre3 commented on Brave overhauled its Rust adblock engine with FlatBuffers, cutting memory 75%   brave.com/privacy-updates... · Posted by u/skaul

Well brave still uses 300MB per tab on linux and almost 700MB per tab on Windows. So they do have a long way in front of them.
tredre3 · a month ago
That's an absolute lie. The entire browser uses around 400MB when a single tab for news.ycombinator.com is open. The tab itself sits at around 35MB. Additional tab increases by the same amount.

Is Brave actually a good browser now? Did they rewrite it or something? Last time I looked it was a janky JavaScript mess.

> a janky JavaScript mess.

You might be thinking of Vivaldi. Brave is certainly buggy, but it's not written in Javascript.

"pearl clutching nana" for simply stating CSAM is dangerous?

I get the people arguing for free speech (in general) as there are lots of upsides.

Where are the upsides in CSAM - whether real or computer generated? How does it benefit society?

In a public forum like X, there probably are no upsides.

In general, though, pedophilia exists. This isn't something that is going to change. What is the harm in providing them with a alternative to real CSAM (which actually and actively hurts children)?

tredre3 commented on OneDrive just deleted all of my files   twitter.com/jasonkpargin/... · Posted by u/nomilk

I'm trying to understand if it's actually true that he did not "opt in" to OneDrive and that his files "one day appeared" there, which seems unlikely. I'm not here to say Microsoft is capable of designing or engineering anything properly, but I'm trying to understand if this is a bug, dark pattern, "user error", or what.

Backups of course would have helped.

Install Windows 11 and accept the default options. Congrats, your Documents, Desktop, Pictures are now synced to OneDrive. Unless you've read everything during the install, you might not even be aware of it. From now on, deleting files in the web interface will delete them from your computer.

> this code is intentionally outrageously wrong

Can you explain why? Why can't both a and b point at the same string object? Does `let b = a;` do something like a destructive move?

tredre3 · a month ago
The rust way isn't intuitive if you're coming from C, but b = a does indeed transfer the ownership to b and a is now invalid/unusable. You would need to make a mutable reference if you want two variables that point to the same object.

Spoken like a true Windows UX aficionado. Who doesn't love multiple system settings apps, a mix of minimal new context menus and overcrowded legacy context menus just one more click away.

I get that you're making a Windows joke, but this describes Linux equally well.
