NHTSA and NASA didn't study all of the code in the PCM. Their analysis is therefore invalid. Barr Group found a significant number of paths to unintended acceleration, zero of which depended on cosmic rays and also that Toyota not only didn't follow industry best practices, they didn't follow their own internal procedures. And you think China, which hasn't ever made the best software for anything, is immune to the same kinds of errors. You literally stated that there was no other way that it could happen, which is an obvious falsehood. It's unclear why you're engaging in this level of gaslighting.

first post modded redundant

suck this dick like trump sucked bubba, cuck

I agree. In fact for most cable companies in particular it probably makes little sense to replace anything that can do even just 1 gigabit, because they almost surely have other regions or at least boroughs which are currently underserved.

I suspect it's mostly limited to sizable households with a lot of users. But we keep finding new ways to use available bandwidth...

This is true, but it's also dangerous. On the other hand federal law allows you to expire them after 5 years. Some states don't allow them to ever expire, but most do. So eventually you do get some of that money back.

That's both now (they could have done fiber a long time ago) and also the best case. Remember, "up to 10 Gbps speeds" (from your link) means anything from 0 bps to 10 Gbps.

Yes, but not for the reason you think. He thinks he can have AI do all the work. This is a move to get rid of everyone who will go easily. Paying these severances has surely been calculated to be cheaper than fielding lawsuits for dismissal without "justifiable reasons." You can be sure that they will next move on to a just-barely-not-legally-provable hostile work environment in order to convince more people to quit. There is no urgent need for layoffs, just a dumb CEO idea, so doing a layoff isn't viable.

Same. I've never seen anyone get pissed off at it, which differentiates it from most other examples :)

I never used Vine, but resurrecting large swaths of our early online culture sounds like a project worthy of some support. (even if Dorsey is involved)

Cynicism and irony aside, how can we not want to support any initiative giving more permanence to cultural ephemera? I'm sure some interesting and very unique content can be snipped from some of these clips, and it can only lead to further remixing and mashing up into platforms that are currently trendy like TikTok.

There actually is an engineering side to this called A-POC. But first, all the comments in both threads are kind of bizarre. Issey Miyake (who is not alive) is a famous Japanese high-end fashion designer famous for pleated designs, dance costumes, impractical appearing dramatic but unique products.

Personally I have no interest in it but to clarify just google "Miyake piece of cloth" or read the Design Boom article here:
https://www.designboom.com/des...

Or as google summarizes, "Piece of fabric" refers to A-POC (A Piece of Cloth), a revolutionary Issey Miyake project that uses computer-driven machines to create garments from a single piece of fabric. Miyake makes all kinds of wardrobe from this process. Designboom has covered various projects under this concept, such as a collaboration with Apple on a 3D-knitted "iPhone pocket" and an exhibition with Nature Architects exploring heat-reactive fabrics. A-POC was launched in 1998. It was developed by Issey Miyake and Dai Fujiwara with the goal of streamlining production. An industrial knitting or weaving machine is fed a single thread and programmed to produce a single, continuous tube of fabric. Seams are pre-woven into the fabric, and the customer can cut along these lines to create individual garments like dresses, shirts, and socks. This process minimizes fabric waste and allows for mass production of varied clothing items from a single, seamless piece of cloth. The concept continues with the brand A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, which explores the technology's potential beyond clothing. For example, a 2025 collaboration with Apple, reported by Designboom, resulted in the "iPhone Pocket," a 3D-knitted wearable accessory. Another project collaborated with Nature Architects to develop "Steam Stretch" fabric that contracts when exposed to heat. Designboom has also covered exhibitions related to the A-POC concept, such as "Weaving Becomes an Act of Illumination" which explored creating fabrics with tonal gradients by varying weave density, and the "A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE & atelier oï" installation that showed a single piece of cloth can be used for both clothing and lighting.

So calling the product a "sock" is pretty much the most pejorative, stupid take on this and reflects exceedingly badly on anyone who repeats it.. unless that's what the Miyake or Apple people are calling it, kind of doubt that, but at least they know that it is a 3D automated tubular knitting computer output and not a fucking athletic sock. Anyway google and there are a lot of articles about it.

Looking at the PR, the picture of the iPhone peeking out from a beige carrier actually suggests it is quite a luxurious piece and the only photo in which it looks good. It suggests that the woven fabric likely delivers a very satisfying soft tactile sensation, which might outweigh all other considerations for many people once they touch it. The post shows the carrier as being able to knot itself around the strap of a handbag (Miyake's famous Baobab design using articulated triangles.. which is so popular now it is a little cringey). It is being launched at just Apple's premier addresses, probably every Baobab owner would be buying a MacBook so I get that.

Anyway, this is just a fashion accessory for people rich enough to be able to afford a mid to high range MacBook (already several thousand dollars). The colors are intended to be chosen apparently depending on whether your Baobab bag is black or white themed. Personally I don't really think most colors match, or even go well with that bag, and I don't have any desire for the carrier itself. But I expect a lot more people would buy it than the 24K solid gold Apple Watches that I thought were finished, but now I found something like on leronza.com which has full gold bracelets attached to them.. sheesh. More than I even wanted to know.

Anyway this is the only post on two threads that actually knows what this thing and A-POC are and is not belittling people for spending $200 when they probably already have spent $2000 to $8000 on a MacBook. Though when I get done buying my new tricked out MBP with 128MB RAM for gpt-oss-120B I will not be having money left over for *any* luxuries for a loooong time.

Anybody else ever play You Don't Know Jack with three other people? I think that was the first really clean and comprehensible party quiz game, and a YDKJ title seems like it would be a good fit here.

Pretty much any cellphone can now do a decent imitation of a Wiimote (besides the sensors, you could also use camera data) and it would also be hilarious to see people accidentally chuck their phones across the room while bowling.

Mozilla keeps thinking that they can make Firefox popular without the nerds somehow. But all the shit that makes it better than other browsers is nerd shit, so they need nerds to advocate for it, teach other users how to use those features, etc. Meanwhile they seem to actually be trying to alienate us. Just like in the movie, here it the pulse, and here is their finger, far from the pulse, jammed up their ass. Pretzel?

You are correct, they absolutely, positively do not have a flying car. They have a drone that comes out of a cybervan. And it's six-wheeled to boot, which would be cool in an off road vehicle but absolutely sucks on pavement. I did not bother to look up whether it has rear steering because IDGAF about it even if it does, even though that would be kind of neat. The rest of it is dumb.

I think BeauHD is a dipshit for posting this dupe

False, I just did this and it did nothing.

I see you didn't read the Toyota unintended acceleration report by the Barr Group, and have nothing of value to add to this conversation.
