Excel isn't open source. I know it's tradition to not read the article, and some people don't even read the summary, but now we're not even reading the headline?

Web development with a framework already has the problem constrained. You have to learn how to constrain the AI yourself when doing embedded or systems programming. It took me hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars to get the hang of it.

I use it daily on embedded an unusual platforms. Works great if the docs are good.

Good for you. But I want my doctor well versed in medicine, not system administration.

Your analogy is shit. A cyberattack isn't "altering the deal", it's an error. If you rent a van and a third party vandalizes it to the point it won't function, nobody altered the rental agreement. Shit happens, and I'm sure Intoxalock has stuff like this in their contract because nobody can guarantee perfect cybersecurity.

My friend had one of these and it does all kinds of other things like taking photos of the driver performing the test. I can't remember everything he listed. Yes, someone fucked up the service, but this kind of device is supposed to failsafe with a disabled vehicle. It's not the same as a a car that gets over the air updates, which would failsafe with your vehicle continuing to run on old firmware. I'm pretty sure the over the air "periodic calibrations" they are talking about is the failsafe for tampering they want to keep obscure.

There's no timeline where these devices are not connected full time. Those of you who think otherwise are delusional.

The headline is "Cyberattack on a Car Breathalyzer Firm Leaves Drivers Stuck" and then "Intoxalock hasn't explained what sort of cyberattack it's facing". So if the story has no details about the cyberattack, and you say it's not about inconvenienced drunk drivers, what's the story about? I mean, if you want to be a mysterious cunt smugly telling other people they are stupid without explaining why, that's fine with me, but you should expect to get called out on that shit.

I have many faults. None of them involve altering my mental state and operating heavy machinery in a way that puts OTHER people at risk.

There's no way to come out ahead with insurance unless you commit fraud. But insurance can make sure you don't go bankrupt when a bee stings your eye and you drive into something. The fact that you don't understand why insurance isn't gambling speaks volumes. I see from your ID that you're an old guy, so perhaps it's time to ask your doctor about cognitive testing.

Next time don't drink and drive. Are we supposed to have sympathy for these sociopaths? I mean both the drunkards and the corporate dregs making a profit off of this. Feels like a popcorn moment. The only news I'd care about is if they didn't recover from the cyberattack and why. I don't care if some CTO gets fired or some drunkard can't unlock their car. Call a fucking cab.

How about we lock these fuckers up with the wall street gamblers too. No, I don't need your exposition about market liquidity; you are the fucking problem if you are thinking this way.

Someone who makes art that sells for $10s of millions isn't "counter culture". They are literally just plain "culture".

Some people use AI at their jobs now. Sure, they can get things done without AI, but everyone settles in to rely on the tools they use daily.

You assume there isn't a setting to not drain below a certain threshold. It's trivial to make a device that only allows the top 5% of your charge to be used for the grid. Also trivial to have a button to keep the next charge at 100% which you can hit the day before a long trip.

I vibe coded a black hat using a newer AI model than you.
