It is legal for you (and everyone else in the USA) to own and fly a helicopter to and from work every day. So why don't you?

Well, you don't because "own" and "fly" are doing heavy lifting -- those words represent a massive cluster of mandatory costs and regulatory approvals, not to mention the zoning and construction realities at your house and at your workplace.

Plus you have all the usual social/network effects where after a certain tipping point, your choices are still technically possible but there is no one supplying the choice on the market. For example, there are no laws mandating automatic transmissions in cars. And yet, if you go shopping for a brand new car and want to drive a manual transmission, you'll find the available choices are rapidly disappearing from the market.

So it will go with human driving.

I came to that exact prediction 10-12 years ago and have been saying it ever since. There will not be widespread common FSD so long as there are still widespread human drivers. Human drivers, human behavior, and human societal realities are the cause of pretty much all the edge cases in the FSD problem space. I believe in a few decades, personal driving will be made illegal or effectively illegal (by being so regulated by onerous cost/liability/equipment mandates that it is out of reach for 99% of the population, just like owning and flying your own private jet to work is legal but completely out of reach for 99.999% of people) as a necessary condition for deploying mass-scale FSD.

If TCP/IP packets had free will, Internet routing would be impossible.

If you note, in a followup I gave the number 7000 total in a year were handed out. Look above. As I said, proportionately I think waymo is very high. And also in the above, I added a link to where AISD provided waymo with a test of several bus types so they would stop doing it. In that link they state,

"Hafezizadeh said Waymo “disagreed.” In early December, Hafezizadeh offered his school buses and parking lot to further test the software in Waymo vehicles. He noted that Waymo brought two of its cars and he provided seven school buses of different OEMs to conduct tests. He added that his staff complied with any request made by Waymo officials during the four-hour test period.

“The unfortunate part is, after that, they had another two or three violations,” he said."

I suspect that if I got nailed for passing a bus, the school system would not at their expense give me a training course. Just a guess though. To your point as to treating them equally, why would waymo get a pass here? I see no reason how you could believe a waymo robo gets to pass a bus with kids possibly exiting in front of the bus and the waymo would not be able to detect it until too late. I just don't see why laws would not be uniformly applied everywhere for moving cars. Even waymo hasn't suggested that. don't give them ideas. Bikes get a pass in some jurisdictions because of very different reasons, mainly they don't weigh 2 tons plus.. And we don't have just buses as a problem. Waymo also seems to like to park illegally https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheautowire.com%2F2026%2F0..., and fail to get out of the way of EMS ambulance and fire trucks in real emergencies, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.axios.com%2Flocal%2Fau... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fnews%2Fus%2F... Parking is a nuisance, although they fight the tickets. The blocking in multiple instances should have had their license pulled until they can demo that it is fixed. EMS gets to setup the tests. Remember that could be you that needs to get to the hospital and dies in the ambulance because a waymo blocked your ambulance

Other problems seem to be just generally blocking traffic if confused, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kxan.com%2Fvideo%2Fapd..., driving into water, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedriverlessdiges... and I'm sure others.

Almost forgot, the fine is for passing a school bus for a human, $500-$1200 criminal fine 1st offense. 2nd offense will get you 2 grand plus possible jail time. Did waymo pay the 48 grand roughly they owe? And who got jail time? I saw an article stating AISD had asked google to pay a fine in a letter, although only for 1 offense, I did not see anything saying they had. And why is AISD doing it. DPS should have sent an officer over to the waymo office with a reel of tickets for each offense.

Even if that electronic music turns out to be the recorded transcoded interdimensional screams of the entities who swim in the ocean of Warp space, that the Federation is killing by constantly ripping apart their dimension just so a few admirals can get to Risa faster and without cryosleep?

They've been trying to create a problem for the solution of Bluefield to apply to, but with limited success.

Here runs into the same sort of problem they have had on other applications they have tried: The visibility of the NIC into the stack is too limited to make especially valuable decisions on.

Unless you get the instrumented stack to cooperate with the DPU to provide more insight, which quickly gets to the question of why bother to have the DPU do the work when it is now subject to the assessment of the host anyway, the host could feed 'bad' data if the host was compromised.

You should reasonably be able to tell the host is trying to reach an IP address. We are at basic firewall. If the host is using good old fashioned DNS with no caching, you might be able to discern with high confidence what the Host header in that TLS stream would be based on spying on the DNS activity (but caching and lots of activity could confuse things), so fancier than a firewall by applying a convoluted correlation. Of course you have *zero* insight into what URL and what method and what payload, because it's just such an awkward position.

There's a moving image but someone decided to play midtempo electronic music over the feed. Sad. I was really looking forward to hearing the whoooosh of the ship to compare it to the way Enterprise's nacelles sound when they enter warp drive. So frustrating how every space exploration video I ever watch forgets to turn on the sound. You'd think these world-class engineers could mount a microphone somewhere. Yeesh.

Then let me give you another. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstnonline.com%2Fnews%2Fway...

"Austin ISD now confirms Waymo vehicles committed a total of 24 violations, as of the middle of January."

Article goes on to say district is seeing around 7000 total a year now with the cameras. 24/7000 = 0.3% of the violations. I've seen the waymo's around, I doubt I see them 0.3% of the time. That would be 3 in every 1000 cars I see. I expect it is closer to 3 in 10000 I see. Downtown, I do see them more frequently.

I'd expect the ai co's to tilt to trump. He has expressed an absolute admiration for ai, and actively encourages the co's to ignore guard rails. And how can we forget, trump just recently started using government funds to pay for ads for the R "brand". Even some R's find it abusive. So would the ai co's go all in much like musk has on trump, you betcha.

Have you dealt with insurance co's lately. I just sued to get a roof claim paid. State farm, first claim in over 20 years. Everyone has told me the laws changed in I think around 2019 in TX and it has been a field day for insurance co profits. Like to the point the claims dept is now considered a "profit center".

I've yet to know anyone who passed a school bus with the sign out. And yet, waymo's seem to do it often. To the point even the trump admin is investigating. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntsb.gov%2Finvestiga... Note that was not an isolated incident. I believe they are up to around 40 times the bus cameras have caught them doing this. And this is VERY illegal in TX. Very. Like lose your license on the 2nd infraction I think it is.

This isn't true. It is not a given that an online system has exposed viable vulnerabilities. The more complex the surface exposed, the harder it gets to be confident, but ultimately a secure system is possible even online.

Don't feed into the fiction that a smart enough AI could get into any system it wanted if adequately hardened.

LLM input tends to, above all else, end up *super* verbose, especially when wielded by people that don't actually understand what they are trying to get done.

So while that assessment may stand, the challenge is *volume*. If you see a large LLM contribution, you know it's going to be a slog, and your feedback is likely to be a telephone game between you, the human curator of the work, and the LLM they are actually interacting with, with the human in the middle adding nothing but confusion to the whole thing. If they just stated what they wanted plainly, then the project could have, at their option, used LLM even better than the submittor could have, if it would help.

You have issues like: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Frhinstaller... Where a detailed rationale is provided, and from a human one would have assumed they wouldn't have had such a concrete analysis unless they had a point, then it turns out that it was LLM hallucinated guesswork with no bearing whatsoever on the reported problem. I've had a few like that where they proposed broken nonsense because the LLM made a credible sounding guess, where their change didn't actually fix the problem, but instead did something pointless or even worse, just swallowed the error message.

Thing was keyboards were *already* ditching the context button. My kid's laptop lost the right Ctrl key, and my kid happened to get used to using the right ctrl key to do shortcuts so it was very jarring when that became the copilot key and had to switch to the other side of the keyboard. Especially since accidentally hitting it was so intrusive.

Thing is that when these sites come up against sufficiently conventionally hardened sites, they already don't really get anywhere.

Problem is just *so* many sites especially during prime hype recklessly move forward without appropriate hardening.

It is sort of like how in the late 90s we had the trope of the hacker kid who could get into anything he felt like if he just wanted to, and nothing could stop them, just slow them down. Brought on by the very real low hanging fruit that the broader public would have assumed to be hard to break into, but were lax in practice. We see the same thing with LLMs, sites that most would *reasonably* assume to be run by smart folks that should protect themselves actually being pretty shoddy in security.
