Waymo to issue software recall over how robotaxis behave around school buses | TechCrunch
The voluntary recall comes as scrutiny by federal regulators and local school district officials increases.

Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."

I'm feeling much better today (no abdominal cramps) but I drove to work because I've been having a lot of leg pain in the mornings, for about an hour or so after I get out of bed. It's the end of the year, traditionally the time I break myself... might need to look into physical therapy again. 😢

This summer, Mikhail Loshchinin set out for Russia on a motorcycle with German plates, reaching the border in Latvia on July 1.
At the Ubylinka checkpoint on the Russian side, he presented his Russian passport.
According to his mother, Olga, he didn’t use his Belgian passport because of the urgency of the trip and to avoid needing a visa.
Russian border guards examined Loshchinin’s phone and likely discovered his many contacts in Ukraine.
After holding him for several…

The US used to be really dirty: Environmental cleanup laws have made a huge difference
Growing up in the 1970s, I took for granted the trash piles along the highway, tires washed up on beaches, and smog fouling city air. The famed "Crying Indian" commercial of 1971 became a symbol of widespread environmental damage across the United States.

They have a great “big” point here about incrementalism but also: fiber, water, and even minimal activity specifically are great first steps towards feeling better.
I suspect that a lot of us 1st-worlders feel lousy in part because we’re each paving our own way to T2D, colon cancer, and heart disease. @…

The author of @… still does not understand what "Authenticated Encryption" means ("still", because I've seen these discussions back in the efail days). It is a pretty central conce…

My work days feel more and more like people outwardly employing Pascal’s Wager when talking about genAI, LLMs, agentic whatever fake-AI silliness. Saying the words for their bosses but not feeling it otherwise.
