Here’s a running list of all of Tesla’s robotaxi mishaps so far
- Robotaxi drives into oncoming lane
- Rider presses "pull over", Robotaxi stops in the middle of an intersection, rider gets out while Robotaxi blocks intersection for a few moments
- Rider presses pull over and the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Safety monitor has to call rider support to get car moving again
- Robotaxi doesn't detect UPS driver's reverse lights (or the car reversing towards it) and continues to attempt to park, then safety monitor manually stops it
- Robotaxi cuts off a car, then randomly brakes (potentially because of an upcoming tree shadow?)
- Robotaxi going 26 in a 15
- Robotaxi unexpectedly brakes, possibly due to nearby police
- Robotaxi unexpectedly slams on brakes, causing rider to drop phone
- Robotaxi comes to a complete stop after approaching an object, then runs it over (rider says it's a shopping bag, though the car visibly bump up and down)
- Robotaxi runs over curb in parking lot
- Safety driver moved to driver seat to intervene

The [new] venue is considered safer than the medieval former religious school where the party was initially scheduled to be held. It is surrounded by water, making it impossible to reach by land when bridges are raised.
I wonder, if Jeff is a good guy, why is he so scared? If he was a good guy, surely nobody would want to Luigi him (attack and/or murder him) too?

The Tyranny of 'Big Balls' Has Come to an End
Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old given unprecedented access to some of the most private information on Americans, has reportedly quit his role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency according to Wired. If you don’t remember the name Coristine, you probably remember his nickname, the thing he reportedly told people to call him while he plundered the nation’s data. He went by Big Balls.
Officially, Coristine was an employee of GSA but was working across multiple government agencies, according to Wired. Big Balls was reportedly rooting around in government systems for USAID, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration, among others. It’s not clear how much data to which Coristine ultimately got access. Nor do we know what he, or anyone else affiliated with DOGE, has done with it.
Coristine made an infamous appearance on Fox News where he tried to strengthen Musk’s case that the federal government was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. But he wound up accidentally revealing that he simply had no idea how anything works. Coristine and Musk seemed to believe that because they didn’t know how various things in the government worked, some kind of nefarious activity had been exposed. But it did nothing of the sort.

momento autoesplodente più crisatico o gattifico?
Come sarebbe d’uopo dire in questi casi… ops; stasera sono esplosa. Questo non perché sono Megumin (anche se lo sono, quando non indosso le orecchie da gatto), ma perché la mia psiche è sempre più turbata oltre ogni ragionevole margine di miglioramento davvero stabile… anche se le cause della mia progressivamente sempre più dura sofferenza sono un argomento per altre occasioni (specialmente perché è in primis per me difficile capire come mai ciò sia il caso, fino in fondo). Beh, niente di nuovo sotto quel punto di vista — perché, come anche e soprattutto io ricordo, siamo nati (sono nata) per soffrire — e come sempre l’unica cosa che è concessa in tali momenti è il puro e semplice bedrotting di metà/fine giornata: mettersi sul letto a fare niente, aspettando che o il problema passi temporaneamente via da solo, o che subentri la noia così forte da far salire la voglia di fare qualcos’altro, dunque portando alla distrazione in maniera estremamente organica… 🙄A quanto pare, però, i miei questo sembra(va?)no non averlo correttamente afferrato, perché con indebita preoccupazione proprio a tal riguardo hanno dovuto interrompere il mio girlrotting. Assolutamente in buonafede, ci tengo a precisarlo, e con l’intento di risollevare gli spiriti, ma la strada che porta all’inferno è lastricata di buone intenzioni: infatti, a furia di parlare anziché lasciarmi stare da sola per il tempo necessario a ricollegarmi con le pareti, dicendo una cosa ambigua dietro una cosa fuori luogo una dopo l’altra — facendomi quindi non altro che rimuginare nel mio stato di disperazione presente, accrescendolo — sono esplosa letteralmente, e nell’arco di 5 secondi scarsi sono riuscita a graffiarmi completamente i lati della faccia con le unghie in preda ad uno scatto immediato di dolore spirituale. Nice, well done! (7/10 shtwt approved; di persona è peggio, la fotocamera del 3DS rende malino.) ☠️
A distanza di qualche ora, adesso, da un lato sto meglio, perché il rilascio della tensione è potente, e la distruzione cutanea porta inevitabilmente al rilascio di sostanze chimiche antidolorifiche che sono anche più potenti… però, dall’altro lato, ora giustamente loro sono più preoccupati di prima, e quindi mi dispiace, e quindi spero semplicemente che un raggio cosmico mi prenda e mi fulmini, che non ce la faccio più. Per pura fortuna, lo spacc impetuoso che ho fatto senza neanche accorgermene mi ha distrutto solo i lati della faccia, quindi semmai dovessi uscire di casa e incontrare qualcuno (ahi!) penso che i capelli riescano a coprire tutto sufficientemente bene per evitare domande a cui ovviamente non posso davvero rispondere (e a cui spero di non dover girare questo post… ma, se proprio uscisse fuori la necessità, eccolo fatto). “Mi ha graffiato il gatto” purtroppo non reggerebbe e anzi, sarebbe controproducente, perché si sa che io sono una miciona. 😾E quindi, boh, non so che dire, difficile concludere ora. L’unica cosa che mi sento sinceramente di aggiungere è che… avevano ragione i nazisti. Così, de botto… ma non senza senso: avevano ragione i nazisti ad eliminare le persone abbastanza neurodivergenti come me. Tanto, vojo dì: sono un fallimento assoluto, e nella mia vita non riesco a costruire assolutamente nulla di grosso (nello specifico, non riesco a scrivere nessun pezzo letterario grosso, ed è questo che nell’ultima settimana mi tormenta terribilmente; e qualora ci riuscissi non fregherebbe comunque a nessuno, in questa epoca storica)… se l’unica cosa in cui riesco ad essere davvero forte è far disperare le poche persone a me vicine, era seriamente meglio non nascere; e con l’epigenetica nazista le cose sarebbero presumibilmente andate a finire proprio così. Buonanotte così, allora!!! 🥰

Turns out it's the opposite lol. There will be no days off for us.

in reply to mintiefresh • • •The other day for laughs in jira I looked at the suggested issues the AI came up with, and they looked like jargon-laden nonsense. But I could see a future where the upper management do nothing business idiots don't care and just slop up a bunch of tasks and assign those out and call it a day's work.
Everything has become an exercise in cosplaying and pantomiming the thing that's supposed to actually happen, and AI is the thing that'll really keep that train rolling. It's a fucking weapons grade, automated potemkin village creator.

in reply to Nemeski • • •We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I'm being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.
Anyway, that's just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn't matter as much as the fact that we're owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What's the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it's often not making our lives better or it's even making our lives worse.

The 5 day work week didn't just happen because workers deserved it. It happened because they went to war.
