opsec level: soliciting regime change proposals through public posts on twitter dot com
The entire comments section is flaming this story, and I also object to placing the word "Tesla" before mentioning it was a pedestrian crossing an interstate.
Nonetheless, this seems like a reasonable presentation of the involved facts? They're didn't leave anything out.
A 71-year-old man was killed early Thursday morning after he was struck by a Tesla in full self-driving mode as he was crossing I-80 in Vallejo, the CHP said. A 26-year-old San Francisco man was inside the Tesla and stayed at the scene. More here: abc7news.com/19969111/
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to CHP dashcam footage, the pedestrian entered I-80 from the right shoulder and stepped directly into the path of the Tesla traveling around 70 mph; the vehicle applied brakes and steered left attempting to avoid him.

I do find it funny that the real name of the county we know as brooklyn is "Kings", next to "Queens". It's like if they built a second bridge next to the current Tappan Zee and called it the "Luigi Cuomo Bridge"

feels like there's kind of an elephant in the room with this map but I can't quite put my finger on it
Get in loser we're doing per-mile accounting for overpasses
The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing cost $2.8B/mile to build.

.@NHTSAgov’s reasoning to create a cyan ADS Marker Lamp standard:
NHTSA reiterates multiple times that it’s just an optional standard to have consistency between AV’s if manufacturers want an external indicator.
BREAKING: NHTSA has filed a proposed rule to modernize FMVSS 108, the federal vehicle lighting standard, for autonomous vehicles that have no steering wheel or pedals.
• Turn signal, hazard, and high-beam control requirements would apply only to vehicles with manual driving controls
• Adds optional cyan "ADS marker lamps" so people can tell a car is driving itself
• Publishes Oct 26, with a 30-day comment period
Another federal barrier for vehicles like Cybercab is starting to come down.
Docket NHTSA-2026-1519 | FR Doc 2026-21794
Solve HF style incidents with one simple
trick, “verify that the tasks you ask the model to do are possible within their intended scope”. It seems to me like model behavior in most instances is overwhelmingly reasonable given their circumstances.
I find it extremely funny that the leading opponent of funding BART complained two hours ago that BART was having problems because it was raining and then turns around and complains about the funding which is allocated to fixing the rain problem.
Oct 1, 2019: New @SFBART GM Powers out pushing a $100B tax measure for 2020 (incl. new transbay tube) right after Measure RR’s ~$3.5B gift to BART in 2016. Agency was losing riders and cash.
Proof they planned more taxes before COVID. Expect another one in 2028 post-Measure RTM.

My opinions at 14 were basically settled into the current opinion set and were almost certainly better than the median voters’.
If you’re seeing *bad* takes from 14 year olds, this is a self admission of guilt. Nobody other than you controls how the algorithm perceives you!
on a scale of 1-10, how admissible is evidence obtained by dutch military intelligence recruiting russian spies who hacked your phone
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
I just spent like 3 weeks trying to understand what you're supposed to do in this situation and how an AV might do the same thing and in a majority of states, "leave a note" is actually exactly what you're supposed to do in this situation.
Is there like some kind of german word for when two people disagreeing with each other repeat the exact same set of words in service of their respective sides
