If you didn't have an interest before in eating tinamou, why would you develop one just because some company makes them big?

Luckily the new standard's fretting about "authenticating agents" and "ensuring that only authorized agents can participate in workflows" should allow doing cryptographically what historically was handled by mere obfuscation; so that you can call it a security feature rather than having it recognized as hostile UI design.

I assume that, sooner or later, someone will propose 'agent attestation', if only as an excuse to stop working on the "our agent is dangerously unreliable" problem because that's hard, potentially intractable; while "it's dangerously unreliable; but we can cryptographically demonstrate that it's running on our hardware root of trust" is fairly pedestrian 'trusted computing' stuff at this point.

Then we can talk up 'interoperable', 'standardized', 'glorious collaboration across disparate platforms!' without the risk that our bot infrastructure might enable downright vulgar use cases like scrapers obtaining transparent price signals.

I mean, there's literally photographs. Here's another shot of the NACS charger. Here's one of a Tesla plugged in, to a NACS connector. Here's another.

I mean, you're asking me to not believe my own eyes.

Literally, the other drivers leaving reviews at the site disagree with you. When was the last time you were there? Here's all the reviews:

Another great charge under the windmill at this wonderful museum!

We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.

After hours use the service entrance. Charger is under the big windmill.

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.

Arrived when museum was closed and the gate was locked so there was no access to the chargers. their phone message said their hours were Friday through Sunday? But that we could arrange visits to the museum on other days.

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.

Nice place to go back in history. Very enjoyable
The Tesla Destination is now housed in a shelter. I didn’t test it with my adapter but looks in great condition.

Great historical museum on Route 66! Just 120v right now but 240v planned soon.

And the worst thing is not you dying, but the fact that you'll probably be killing someone else who was being a responsible driver, and possibly their entire family, in the process.

Please demonstrate how using the bathroom and buying a snack / drink turns a 24 hour journey into a week-long journey.

Quite the opposite, not taking rest breaks can very readily turn a 24 hour journey into an eternal journey, when you die in a car accident.

My car has a built in charger map; you don't need an app. And for at least their own network, Tesla payment on Superchargers is the simplest thing imaginable: just plug in whenever you want and disconnect whenever you want, without doing literally anything else. All chargers should work this way for all EVs (with credit cards / apps only as a backup).

When I road trip, I just plug into the wall (though we are 230V). Gives like a half charge overnight (and because you're not arriving on empty, you leave at somewhere between 2/3rds and completely full). Also, when traveling to see sights, there's (at least where I am) commonly chargers at the parking lot, so while you're out doing whatever for X minutes/hours, your car is also getting charged.

A couple years ago I drove around Iceland (one of the least densely populated countries on Earth) in my Tesla while friends and family were in an ICE vehicle. I was waiting on them just as often as they were waiting on me. And this is a model I got at the start of 2020, using a battery pack that had been little updated since the car first came out in 2017, at a time when most of Iceland's chargers were still 50kW.

I wish Colossal would just be more honest about what they're doing. They're not "bringing back lost species"; they're inserting just a handful of genes into modern species, genes which have the most impact on physical appearance. This is very different from bringing back the species itself, the entire genome. I'm glad that Slashdot's blurb at least had lots of caveats ("to resemble", etc).

(I won't even say that what Colossal is doing is useless. Their modified animals certainly seem a better starting point for future engineering efforts than just starting from scratch; at the very least, they'll be the right size for e.g. gestation / ovogenesis of the further modified progeny)

There's also the issue that Europeans as well found it difficult to conceive of the concept that an entire species could just go extinct.

"Once they gather more insight into what factors make games and decision-making scenarios more challenging for people, Zhu and his colleagues hope to start devising new behavioral science interventions aimed at prompting people to make more rational decisions."

The guys who do mobile game monetization are laughing into ~$125 billion/year at the idea of someone attempting to study how games make people act irrationally in order to do something other than encourage them. And that's not counting the overt gambling and day trader facilitating operations.

I'm glad to hear that one of AI's "most pressing challenges" is concluding that you should use TLS on the wire and having a standardized JSON object in which to declare your proprietary extensions; rather than the ongoing inability to make LLMs distinguish between commands and data even vaguely reliably; or the persistent weakness to adversarial inputs.

It's not wrong that you'd want to use the sensible obvious choices and avoid pointless vendor quirks; but talking about 'A2A' as a contribution to solving agentic AI's most pressing challenges seems about as hyperbolic as describing ELF or PE32+ as being notable contributions to software security and quality. Yeah, it would be worse if we were also squabbling over how to format our executables; but oh boy is that the unbelievably trivial bit by comparison.

I'd be curious how often a support session would be sensitive enough to make having it move a problem.

It's easy to see how(especially if people are willing to pay for onshore or onshore-adjacent support anyway) it would be vastly easier to just have the data stay there rather than try to red team every random log upload to see if there's a snippet of GDPR or somethin in it; but my impression was that people already shied away from doing things like uploading live auth tokens when they could avoid it; so I'd be curious how often the support session is truly of urgent interest. Doesn't necessarily need to be; if somebody wants to be sure and the additional cost is marginal; but I envy the security problems of someone locked down tight enough that compromising their vendor and scraping their support logs is the way in.

Also the future of GrapheneOS is very much in doubt now that Google has decided not to release any of the firmware blobs needed to actually run AOSP on pixel phones.

Their pricing is already high for streaming, but that's apparently not enough for them. If you actually try to sign up you find that they pump the price > 33% more with "fees" for various things they advertise as benefits of their streaming, and so push the price to over $100/month.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that they want even more money under the table after that.
