1 day agoThe more Windows tries to manage my files for me the less I’m able to find where anything is.
I wish Windows 2000 still ran modern games.

Yay let’s make all cars the same colour as the road
It was marketed for PS2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_2
The PS3 could run Linux initially, but Sony remotely disabled it on account of being a shower of cunts, resulting in a bunch of lawsuits (which even more cuntingly they paid out on, sooner than re-enable Linux).
That said I think you may be talking slightly at cross purposes; the ability to run Linux isn’t tied to processor architecture, and doesn’t mean anything in terms of what the PS3 was like to develop for as a professional game studio.
It’s sickening how little Amazon seem to give a fuck about this. They could easily tighten up their vetting of sellers, but heaven fucking forbid they only report a $50,000,000,000 profit this year instead of $50,003,000,000.
Why not start with disabling it by default and see how many people switch it on?
Skill issue
My LinkedIn feed continues to be a barrage of posts about how EU regulations choke and stifle innovation, and yet all I see is a succession of wins
This is exactly what I’m talking about what I say I fucking hate capitalism.
Apple already make more money than just about anyone else in the world, but because shareholders expect infinite unending YoY growth they’re not allowed to just keep making billions of dollars. Every year senior management have to find new ways of bilking more cash than the year before, otherwise they’ll get replaced by someone who will.
It’s not even about profit any more, Elon’s ego just won’t let him admit that he was wrong about a camera-only system, when the entire rest of the industry is using LIDAR. Genius businessman doesn’t understand the concept of sunk cost.
Basically yes. You can’t usefully put a car into one of “crashes” or “doesn’t crash” categories the way you can with e.g. what colour an M&M is, or whether Drug X did or didn’t lower blood pressure in a patient, so miles travelled is a reasonable metric.
It’s possible you might be getting hung up on notions of sample size having to be above a particular fixed number and therefore miles sounding like a cheat, but actually there never has been a universal “correct” minimum sample size; it all depends on the data. A billion of one thing might not be enough, but 4 of another might be plenty.
They gave you all the numbers you need to calculate the sample size for the Robotaxis, and it’s safe to assume the sample size for regular cars will be much higher.
Tesla Robotaxis are involved in a crash for every 40,000 miles they drive. For comparison, the publication reported, cars driven by humans crash about once every 500,000 miles, meaning the Robotaxis so far have crashed 12.5 times more frequently than human-driven cars.
That’s not how you measure sample size. There were 8 Tesla crashes. The crash is the outcome, not the sample.
8 Robotaxis crashed, having collectively driven the same distance that human-driven cars average two-thirds of a crash on. That’s statistically significant and then some.
“This technology is so useful we’re going to force it on you every way we can think of”
And they still haven’t figured out how to stop Netflix from crashing 15 minutes into every other show I watch. First year I had it no problems. Then one day about two years ago, bam, unwatchable.
Meanwhile in the UK pedestrian deaths are down despite the number of miles walked increasing.
If it’s only morons that use it “wrong”, then it does indeed become right, but still gains the added subtext of “by the way I’m also a moron”

The kind of people they’re pissing off with this, are the same people most likely to switch to bittorrent.
Except it only plays out like that if you follow their entire plan for how you want to structure your files and do it exactly how they want. Yessir, I put my pictures in Pictures and my documents in Documents and my music in Music and my videos in Videos like a good boy and everything is taken care of, until the moment I have to do something very very slightly different to Microsoft’s plan for my life, like get a second SDD or install one of the many many many applications out there that prefer to put themselves in the top level directory and store their own data in there.
You mean the OneDrive that gets bundled with every Windows along with an account that you have to really fight the computer to not give you? Why wouldn’t I be including that?
