Everyone loves the free market until it works against them.

Is it? I skimmed the GitHub source code and couldn’t see anything involving encryption, but it’s totally possible I missed something. Perhaps just accessing the database from python is enough to decrypt it.
Wow, it’s pretty wild they didn’t even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.
Ok I’ll admit, the first thought that went through my head:
100 tonnes of gold! That must weigh a lot!
A new deal is being forged with 4chan instead.
The author had so many things to highlight that they didn’t even mention “as of August 2024” being in the future, haha.
What a trainwreck. The fact it’s giving anonymous Reddit comments and The Onion articles equal consideration with other sites is hilarious. If they’re going to keep this, they need it to cite its sources at a bare minimum. Can’t wait for this AI investor hype to die down.
Uh oh!
And imagine being the guy who’s got to clean out the train car afterwards of all the tiny pieces. Nightmare fuel.
Especially considering it scales by adjusting accuracy! That makes it very adaptable so it could be used everywhere from microcontrollers through to Google data servers.
Stop the boats (please)
I don’t know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I’d much rather that data go to a government that isn’t governing me!
Would love to see the same tests with an adblocker installed.
The US has absolutely atrocious employment laws, so yes they can: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment
Haha, love the last paragraph. It’s hard for software engineers to release code publicly knowing their work is going to be scrutinized by other engineers, without adding a disclaimer or caveat of some kind.
“We had very little time and were crunching for months”
“I know this is a bit hacky but I was 7 years old”
“I wrote this code in hospital while I was recovering from anesthesia”
It reminds me of a musician playing their song publicly for the first time.
God damn, meanwhile in Australia our top tax bracket is AUD190K (USD122K) @ 45%!
The Xiaomi SU7 is a perfect example. Xiaomi took 3 years from concept to their very first car. That in itself is insanely impressive, let alone the fact it’s a great EV with a tonne of self-driving capability to rival Tesla, and comes in far cheaper. Watch the YouTube video about Xiaomi’s SU7 factory, it’s very impressive.
Meanwhile Apple decided to pull the plug on their first car. It’s pretty telling of the situation.
Yeah I’ve seen plenty of HVAC and other auxiliary functions like radio moved to touch (and absolutely agree it shouldn’t be legal), but never the five they’re legislating in the article (horn, indicators, wipers, hazard, SOS). Imagine touchscreen indicator buttons! The market would rip them apart.
The older I get, the more I question the value of public companies vs the damage they do. As soon as you’ve got shareholders at large to please, you’re incentivized to keep your share price going up above all else, especially in the short term. Global stock markets seemed like a great idea at the time, but I feel they’re doing more damage than good at this end of capitalism.
