I have to say this is extremely inaccurate imo. Self driving takes over the menial tasks of keeping the car in the lane, watching the speed, etc. and allows an attentive driver to focus on more high level tasks like looking at the road ahead, watching the sides of the road for potential hazards, and keeping more aware of their blind spots.

Just because the feature can be abused does not inherently make it unsafe. A drunk driver can use cruise control to more accurately control the vehicle’s speed and avoid a ticket, does that make it a bad feature? I wouldn’t say so.

Autopilot and other driver assist systems are good when used responsibly and cautiously. It’s frustrating to see people cause an accident after misusing the system and blame the technology instead. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I’m not even replying to the article or the original commenter. I’m replying to the person that said “why doesn’t the car slow down and stop when the warnings are ignored?” which is precisely what it does.

I’m far from a Tesla fanboy, and there is no shortage of valid criticisms against Tesla. However, misrepresenting what autopilot does in the event of a forced disengagement isn’t right either.

This is literally exactly how it works already. The driver must have been pulling on the steering wheel right before it gave him a strike. The system will warn you to pay attention for a few seconds before shutting down. Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/oBIKikBmdN8

I’ve always mounted network shares in fstab, what’s the benefit to doing it with systemd?

(Also, for those of you learning, this method only works on systemd-based distros)

Or as I’ve discovered recently while troubleshooting local infrastructure, the ARP table. Essentially the DNS of IP addressing

This is fucking stupid imo. We have more than enough land area for solar as it is. Why would you add 100x the complexity to your solar plant when you can just build it on land? Now you have to deal with tides, salt water corrosion, your technicians have to be scuba divers or something, running transmission lines through salt water is much harder than the ground. What happens when there’s an electrical fault that kills a bunch of people because they’re submerged in highly conductive salt water?

Governments wanting to ban math will never stop being completely astounding and depressing

Print drivers in Windows have actually been in userspace for a while now. That’s why the cheap drivers that come with your $40 Inkjet from Walmart don’t cause bluescreens anymore.

It’s wild to see people in the piracy community of all places have an issue with someone benefiting from data they got online for free.

I imagine ArchiveTeam will set up a project for this if they haven’t already. They’ve done so for Imgur and Reddit already.
