The FTC was going that route and then changed their mind when the gov changed...

You can get the same "convenience" by running Ubuntu Core. It even reboots without asking.

Arch and Slackware are not forcing snaps, which has the same forced update issue...

Windows Terminal, Remote Desktop and WSL are store apps. (And the reason I disable updates - they randomly restart on update, losing what you are busy with)

They are not cheating - if humans review the paper as they are supposed to, it has no effect - it is a honeypot for reviewers that is cheating by using LLMs if it has any effect...

The waste from the reactors used for weapons production is a significant part of the problem at Sellafield...

Greyjay gives the ability to actually get the files that was downloaded...

In up to date equipment (with modern safety features...), since they are not retrofitting the self-driving onto old vehicles.

Since the self-driving cars are new vehicles, safety comparisons should only be done against new cars of similar cost / specifications. (which would likely include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, etc...)

Comparing against the existing fleet is only fair if the self-driving systems are meant to be retrofit onto the existing fleet.

The user needs to enter the string - if it can be triggered from outside, it might be a security bug... (Even if it can run arbitrary code, code execution from an "attacker" (user) that already have arbitrary code execution (can install apps) on the device is not a security issue)

If it allows running code with elevate permissions though...

It would be interesting to see what dropping radar reflectors would do.... Or if they might be abused to get cars to stop for robberies...

On paved roads... On gravel roads, locking the brakes might result in faster braking.

It was BSD licensed, so the license that code was contributed under allows it to be licensed under more restrictive terms...

Correct - some scale is needed - enough that two teams are not a lot of extra people.. (ideally most with some degree of skills on both) (likely virtualization teams of at least 10 people)

I wonder how much of a pricing advantage expanding capacity from the cheapest vendor might give... They might try to discount to get that business. (Slowly moving to just one vendor eliminates the advantages though)

I was at a telecom company that would get two vendors for voice switches and later MSANs - they are normally divided between different regions, but it does mean that there are people skilled in both products and the vendors can be played off against each other....
