Well to an extent, it does work. Flood the zone.

The same customers as grok. In the future where humanoid robots see some level deployment, there might be some people that need their robot to make CSAM and say the n-word.

I'm guessing that other developed countries don't need 6-7 figure injury coverage.


That's great, but it's no silver bullet. We have a 4th Gen iPad that was used mostly for consumption. Only one of the streaming apps works with its ios version.


The same issues plague old Android tablets. Lots of unecessary ewaste out there so OEM's can sell new devices.


There are a lot of Android devices that look temping until one discovers how out-of-date the firmware is.

With no option to install your own, of course. Boot loaders should be exclusively for running the manufacturer's lone security update from 5 years ago.


Gemini only replaced Google assistant on Android a few weeks ago. I gave up on Google assistant a few years ago, but I'd guess it wasn't a worthwhile upgrade from Siri.


Still using Google assistant after trying Gemini on my pixel about 6 months ago. It was not an assistant replacement, it couldn't even perform basic operations on my phone, it would just say something like, "I'm sorry, I'm just an LLM and I can't send text messages." Has that changed?


Tesla, Rivian and a few others are tech companies that make cars. They have great software and integration between components. Traditional automakers are assemblers of modules made by dozens of suppliers. That's why Teslas navigation accounts for traffic, weather, elevation changes, charger speed & availability to plan routes. For legacy car manufactures battery preconditioning is about the most sophisticated route planning feature they'll have.

Would be more convincing if my legacy car maker car didn’t do all these things you claim only a Tesla can.


Also not an expert, it would have to be EMI or maybe the bright light was causing LEDs on the nearby laptop to generate voltage. LEDs can poorly work in reverse.


Roomba has been obsolete for 10 years. Competitors have eaten their lunch in every segment.


Probably a safeguard to keep sonebody from unplugging something during the update.

I can't speak about other cars, but my EV has nothing you can unplug. It's not like a regular car where stuff is exposed.

All it has under the hood is a storage space for charging adapters, a first aid kit, and a cap for the windshield washer fluid.

Even accessing the regular 12V battery takes a bunch of time and tools. The manual states several times that it should never ever be used to jump start another car, though it doesn't explain why.


If a power failure during the upgrade causes some unrecoverable problem that is a serious design failure. The answer isn't "make power failures less likely" instead it's "make the update process robust to power failure". This kind of disconnected hubris--thinking you can just wish reality away--seems unique to software. Why are they allowed to get away with it?


Sensor fusion is too hard is the new cope.


To paraphrase sarcastically: "But what happens when the sensors disagree???"


[Insert red herring about MCAS and cop out about how redundancy is "hard" and "bad" "complexity".]

Have a minimum quorum of sensors, disable one if it generates impossible values (while deciding carefully what is and isn't possible), use sensors that are much more durable, reliable, and can be self-tested, and integration and subsystem test test test thoroughly some more.
