> Tesla are producing cyber cabs now which are 10th the price of Waymo's and can drive autonomously anywhere in the world.

My understanding is that cyber cabs still need safety drivers to operate, is that not the case?


They have no steering wheel or pedals so no

Robotaxis in Austin are in the process of removing in car safety monitors, there is a chance you would get one today

They are just moving the safety monitor in a car that drives behind you.

It would be funny, but tbh it's just sad.

Everything for the stock pump


tesla robotaxi crash rates are also currently (as in, with safety drivers) 4x higher than humans so that's not very promising

Yes, but they are useless, they can't steer, hence why they have more accidents than humans per driven miles.

"plenty of corporations much larger than Google"?

Google is the third largest company by market cap in the world. I suppose by "much larger" you mean number of employees? Walmart maybe?

I doubt there's many out there using slack


By market cap? Is the money using slack?

Company size when you're talking about tools for humans makes no sense in terms of market cap.

Plenty of companies with many more employees than Google use slack.


Such as who? And are most of their employees actually using Slack or are a few white collar employees using it while 90% of their workforce has no idea?

IBM has ~300k employees and uses Slack.

I checked and it doesn't look like any UK banks have this option - at least I looked at about 5 different banks websites and all have pages suggesting you always select to pay in local currency but none of them have any information on disabling this behaviour

Gemini confirms it's not a thing, and not really possible (the terminals just detect the country from the card number)


>I'm fairly sure even mentioning the name of the forum isn't allowed on HN

Well let's find out

I did a tiny bit of research, pretty sure it's BreachForums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BreachForums)


BreachForums was shut down


Seems like every time it gets shut down it starts right back up again

This source claims it's Breach forums but no idea if it's reliable

Trello was a successful product despite having way less than 20% of jira's features


And there are hundreds if not thousands of Show HNs and YC funded companies that have disappeared in a whimper trying to be the “smaller lightweight version of $x”


They can fail for any reason and it’s not always for not having enough features..

MVPs shouldn’t have 100% of features, they need to be small, get feedback and iterate.


The old cliche “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”. If you don’t have the features I need when I first look at it, why would I pay for it or think about it again?


If I'm an employee working in the X office in France, and the police come in and show me they have a warrant for all the computers in the building and tell me to unlock the laptop, I'm probably going to do that, no matter what musk thinks


Witnesses can generally not refuse in these situations, that's plain contempt and/or obstruction. Additionally, in France a suspect not revealing their keys is also contempt (UK as well).


100%. Only additional troubles for yourself personally, for practically no benefit (nobody in the company is going to celebrate you).


Note that it doesn't deny that it's _any safer_. It says it's still not safe

These are not the same thing

It's likely safer but not meaningfully enough to make much difference, as it's still obviously very bad for you


> It's likely safer but not meaningfully enough to make much difference, as it's still obviously very bad for you

There's no evidence that it's safer at all. Reynolds lost a big lawsuit over its American Spirit brand implying that their cigarettes are safer. If they could have provided evidence to the contrary, they would have.

I doubt it's likely at all. The thing that makes tobacco dangerous is high temperature combustion and nicotine. You get BOTH in natural tobacco.

The thousands of "chemicals" from cigarettes are not put in there. They come from combustion. Setting shit on fire makes chemicals turn into other chemicals, some of them very harmful. That's why many survivors of 9/11 later died from lung cancer.


> Especially when LLMs are used for scientific work I’d expect this to be used to make at least LLM chats replicable.

Pretty sure LLM inference is not deterministic, even with temperature 0 - maybe if run on the same graphics card but not on clusters


The conflict of interests here is the conflict between musks interests and the other shareholders interests
