    San Jose passenger claims a Waymo drove off with his luggage at the airport | A man says the Waymo he rode to San Jose Mineta Airport drove away with his luggage in the trunk

  • Not defending them; I'm just stating what their app says to do since I've used it before whereas other people might not know.

  • That's what I thought too. I'm not sure why it's not the case.

  • Right. I don't disagree with you.

  • Probably a design issue where they couldn't hook into one of the car's systems? I'm not sure.

    Their current cars are just temporary anyways. Jaguar doesn't even make them any more - they stopped producing the model that Waymo uses at the end of 2024.

    They're currently partnering with Zeekr to build a brand new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo_Ojai

    Berkshire Has a Website From the ’90s and Buffett Fans Say Don’t Mess With It

  • It has all the information people need, and loads quickly without any extraneous content or scripts. All websites should strive to be this good.

  • Not defending Waymo, but you're supposed to open the trunk either using the button on the touch screen in the car, or the button in the app. They tell you do do this in the app. If you open it this way when getting in, it'll automatically open at your destination too.

    As far as I know, the button on the back of the car itself isn't integrated with their computer system for whatever reason.

    Also keep the passenger door open until you've got everything. I do the same thing with taxis and Ubers too.

    Meta faces New Mexico trial that could force changes to Facebook, other platforms

    Jump

  • New Mexico said it plans to ask the judge to order Meta to make changes including verifying users' ages; redesigning its algorithm to promote quality content for minors; and ending autoplay and infinite scrolling for minors.

    Just Meta, or all social media platforms that have these same features? The article is unclear as to whether this would become a law or just enforced against Meta.

    Apple Was Caught Off Guard by MacBook Neo's "Off the Charts" Demand

    Jump

  • Most of the stuff "regular people" do on computers these days is either web-based or cross-platform, too. A lot of them are getting the Neo because it's better than practically every other $600 new laptop in terms of build quality.

  • I get your point, but those are two different values. The first is total value of the company (which you could probably compare to someone's net worth) while the second is yearly income.

    Meta's annual profit is $60.46 billion and revenue is $200 billion.

    Continuing the story of early DOS development

  • I love when old, important pieces of software are open sourced.

  • GitHub - minio/minio: "This repository was archived by the owner on Apr 25, 2026. It is now read-only."

    Jump

  • Interesting - I didn't see that. They say "You can add your own copyright as well", so you don't have to give up your rights to the code. They do still need to comply with the terms of the Apache license.

    Jump

  • Their contribution agreement forces you to give up copyright to them.

    The license just looks like the standard Apache license though, which doesn't require this. With the Apache license, contributors still own the copyright to their code, but they license it to the project. Did you see a document in the repo that says something different?

  • This ‘anti-Grammarly’ AI tool adds typos to your emails on purpose

    Jump

  • If it really needs AI, something this basic should be able to use a tiny AI model that can run locally. Google are working on building small models into Chrome for example (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/built-in). It really doesn't need a huge model.

    Several mobile apps bundle an AI model with them. Samsung phones do a bunch of AI things on-device, including object and face recognition in the Gallery app for photos. There's no reason an extension couldn't do that.

  • if you need a POSIX interface

    SSHFS isn't POSIX compliant. It doesn't support hard links, file locking, atomic renames, full support for changing file permissions, umasks, and probably other things.

  • Versity S3 Gateway is another option that's trying to focus on simplicity. https://github.com/versity/versitygw

    Out of all these, SeaweedFS is the most scalable. Seaweed's design is based off some of Facebook's whitepapers about their warm storage system, and it works especially well for use cases that have a very large number of small files (like images).

  • SSHFS is very unreliable. At least use NFSv4 or even SMB/CIFS.

  • which Horwitz is charging $4.99 a month to use after a three-email free trial

    what. Why does a thing that inserts typos into your email need a monthly subscription that costs as much as other services that have far higher costs? What's changing about typos month-to-month that people need to always be on the latest version?
