• I looked it up as I was curious.

  Apple and Microsoft both licensed some interface stuff from Xerox and they were both working on a windows like OS.

  Apple was ahead, and gave them a sneak preview.

  Then I guess MS wanted to do something like that and told Apple they’d give them time a frame they wouldn’t release anything in (like a year or two later after apple released it) and then they said fuck it and released it early.

  Then Apple sued MS.

  So MS stole good parts of windows from Apple.

• That actually makes a lot of sense and goes with how ill code something larger as well.

  Get a rough version working, sometimes horrible code. See how it functions. Reassess it and optimize it. Go bug hunting, which will often result in more optimizing, then finish all the error handling I probably skipped and only logged. More bug hunting, then review my code like a code review before submitting it for a code review.

• Its usually just 1 or 2 messages saying i dont like this so its only the time it takes to read it and say try again. A minute or two?

  Its faster to just ask to do it again in most cases.

  The times itd probably be quicker to do it on my own are the more complicated ones where it gets something wrong but it wasnt so blatantly obviously bad that I just tell it to try again, so I spend time with the wrong stuff, see its wrong with a little work, then toss it and try again, or re work it myself from that.

• If 80%+ of rides is 2 people or less, I dont think it make sense to necessarily make a purpose built vehicle when you already make a vehicle you sell to consumers that can fill the small gap? (Edit and I dont mean use their cars, but their own internal fleet like they use today)

  Thats a lot of capital expenditures for a small slice of the rides, of which you wont even be the only company serving.

  They are also working on a purpose built small bus type vehicle, but that wont be a hail for 3 people kinda thing, itll be for routes that people get on/off of.

  My bet is theyll make another vehicle they can sell to consumers for personal non taxi use, but will also be cheaper and work for the up to 4 or 5 people taxi rides. So not quite purpose built, but with some intentions towards it.

  on Tesla Robotaxi Mows Down Bollards & Keeps Driving, After “Impeccable” Record Touted on Stock Call in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026

• I was just looking into this a bit more, “managed to get out appropriately” is potentially actually going through the bollard after it fucked up.

  It broke the law going in there, but reversing through the intersection (crosswalk) to get out is also against the law in Austin and many many places.

  I know a lot of people do it (and I think I’ve seen a Tesla do it before too) but if you’re stopped at an intersection and you fuck up and are slightly in the crosswalk, you’re in most places, not allowed to back up. If you back up, you could actually be cited for 2 infractions, one blocking the intersection, and then another for the backing up. (edit: and in this case, it’s just a matter of property damage if they go over it, and they’re plastic because they know people will hit them, which is also sad)

  I really doubt the car was smart of enough to realize I’m not allowed to reverse, and i could safely drive over this though. I think something else in its decision making process happened with failures all over the place.

  I can’t wait to see what the NHSTA report on this one says, hopefully there’s some meaningful info in it.

  Maybe we’ll even hear it called home for help and a person drove it over? There was one report where a support person remotely drove it into a chain at slow speed.

• Im not saying it should, and in this case and have clearly said what it did was wrong.

  Im just trying to reason out how or why something like that may have happened, and at first bad map data seemed like it could be part of it wtf went wrong. (edit: even OP said they looked into it, implying they thought that might be a factor too!)

  Road says go right. Oh shit its tight but I can make it. Im fucked. YOLO!!!

  And yes, it shouldn’t have ignored the bicycle signage or the white line.

  Have you never driven around a construction local traffic road only sign that gets placed in the middle of the road or blocking a lane? AVs need to be able to do weird things like this, but in the correct situations, which this was not.

• It did take the obstacles into account though at first. It was going very slowly and managed to squeeze itself into that bad spot, before ultimately realizing it was stuck and deciding to go over them once it had gone too far (I would love to know how the fuck it decided to do that last part though)

  What it didn’t take into account from the start was the white line or bike lane sign, but those first bollards on their own it made it past.

  If it had bad navigation data, that could have conceivably played a part, but bad map data seems less likely given there’s an image of that intersection from 2024.

  Everything about this was still very bad obviously, but even if it wasn’t the case here, bad map data could get you into a bad situation like that if you can drive between the initial bollards.

• Definitely no part about protecting jobs, definitely none.

  State Sen. Joe Vitale, D-Middlesex, said he’s against this bill because the industry would “eliminate jobs for no other reason than to save a few bucks” and full-service gas would become more expensive.

  web.archive.org/…/njs-new-pump-your-own-gas-bill-…

  As a coalition of organized labor, immigrant rights, and disability community advocates, we are coming together to oppose these proposed changes to New Jersey’s unique fueling rules because it will eliminate gas station attendant jobs that working families of diverse backgrounds depend on. While few to none of these workers are unionized, the New Jersey State AFL-CIO seeks to protect all jobs throughout New Jersey. Additionally, eliminating these jobs would be painful for vulnerable populations such as people with disabilities, the elderly and people with children, who rely on attendants to help them gas up. This bill would hurt consumers and provide little in return.

  Companies will always try to get the most money out of you sure, but if I hop in a Uber and it says it’s $20.00, it’s going to be $20.00. Is that $20 a rip off, quite possibly, but I know that upfront, unlike a random driver trying to scam me and I don’t know until the end.

• Jobs are always going to be replaced by new technology and falling back to omg the jobs, as a means to prevent technology from advancing isnt the right way to think about things.

  Maybe you should move to NJ so someone can pump your gas for you, or only buy from farms that hand pick everything.

  Ive been in so many taxis driven by humans and feared for my saftey. People have been assaulted by drivers. The AVs can see all around them and will ultimately be definitively safer than a human can ever be. People are terrible drivers as seen by the immense death (1.16 million people in 2025) and destruction we cause behind the wheel.

  Does anyone actually have the perfect AV right now? No. But they will figure it out.

  Edit: clarity, but also dont forget taxi drivers who scam people by taking longer routes, ive also had my share of having to call them out at times when they think im a tourist.

• The 7.65GW datacenter Amazon wants to make, would need about 155,000 acres to have a 4x provisioned solar array if they wanted to operate it all day off solar based of the US’s largest solar farm. That doesnt account for land space for storage. Also a 4x over provision probably isnt truly enough for something like this to reliably operate off solar only.

  Itd be great to make some solar though for daytime hours even if trying to store the ridiculous amount of power required is its own insane problem and not worth it.

• Trying to re-use 7.65GW of excess heat would be a monumental task of it’s own, but at a smaller scale, it works well. Things like a smaller datacenter heating the pool nearby etc. They should at least be trying to reuse as much as possible, pipe it to nearby things.

  on Amazon's New AI Data Center Is So Enormous That It Appears It Will Become the Largest Single Source of Pollution in the United States in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026

• This thing is 7.65GW. The largest solar array in the US is 900MW and uses 4600-5000 acres. The scale to do this on solar alone is bonkers, but not impossible.

  You would need to at least 4x provision it which means a 30GW solar array, and 156,000 acres, before getting into battery storage for non sunny times.

  It’d be nice to use some solar absolutely, but this is better suited to nuclear.

  Edit: And if you aren’t storing / over provision to store, then you still need the peak output from another source anyway and these things likely always run near peak as they are constantly in use, so the size of the non-solar source doesn’t reduce, only its output during the sunny day time hours. So you end up with 7.65GW of natural gas still, but maybe they also build a 1GW solar farm on the side.

• The FAB is going to need 10GW of power when done.

  The US biggest solar array is 900MW and uses between 4600 and 5000 acres.

  To do that with solar, you’d need to over provision by 3-4x plus batteries to run for bad weather for days. The scale of this is bonkers.
