When Tesla’s FSD works well, it gets credit. When it doesn’t, you get blamed
Photo by Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, via New York Times Tesla has engaged in a pattern of taking credit for the successes of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, even though the car still relies on an attentive driver, and yet blaming the driver rather than the software whenever things go badly.

’Up to 15 or 20′ air traffic controllers are retiring daily
The government has been short of air traffic controllers for years, and multiple presidential administrations have tried to convince retirement-age controllers to remain on the job.

Metabolic and cellular differences between sedentary and active individuals

Writing your own BEAM

I was always fascinated with BEAM, how it allowed easy spawning of processes that didn’t share state, allowed for sending and selectively receiving messages, and linking to each other thus enabling creation of supervision trees. It’s an interesting set of primitives that interact […]

The U.S. government is reportedly preparing to ban the sale of wireless routers and other networking gear from TP-Link Systems, a tech company that currently enjoys an estimated 50% market share among home users and small businesses.
