honestly there is something extremely cyberpunk about the idea of being able to message an LLM agent running off solar power over an encrypted local radio mesh network
even when the rest of the power grid is down, together with the cell towers and the fiber backbones

NixOS is everything i’ve ever wanted in a Linux distro, the only thing i don’t like about it so far is that it doesn’t have the plethora of documentation that arch has. It just needs a bigger community.

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

waymos are great, this headline is wrong, it's weird and disturbing that so many people actively want to believe the technology that reduces car deaths is fake, and bluesky should make it so full-screen link previews don't show headlines
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

it is not worried about the AI turning into Skynet. it is worried about a handful of billionaires using 'Skynet' as a ghost story to trick the government into giving them a permanent monopoly over the most important tools of the next century.
