If Elon Musk can unlock your Tesla, provide location data to authorities, and recordings of people inside the car,...what else can he (or a hacker) do with your vehicle?
Crash it? Disable the steering or brakes? Release conversations to competitors? Photograph your kids? Prevent it from starting in an emergency? Force you to upgrade needlessly? Make it very expensive to maintain or operate?
Enshittification means paying, but not owning, and certainly doesn't mean control.

My whole life I have seen advertisements for desk jobs that required people to have driver's licenses, use of a vehicle, and insurance, even when there was no driving involved in the job at all.
Requiring a driver's license for employment is now prohibited in California if driving is not reasonably expected to be part of the job duties. This is a huge victory for people who use transit and cycling for their mobility. gov.ca.gov/2024/12/28/new-in-2…
Just unzip it and place all the files in the top level Toby Doom folder. The zip file contains the source code, the compiled .exe launcher, and some examples for custom games in the TobyCustom folder. There's also a _internal folder that contains all the stuff the .exe launcher needs.
Hopefully it works well for you. For #nvda users, you will need to press alt+down arrow to expand the combo boxes. I plan to eventually look into this and see if they can be expanded by default, but for now it's time for a break so I can actually play Doom instead of coding for it. 🤘
An alternate approach to day 14 part 2, which yes, being blind drove me a bit frustrated at first.
As you point out finding clusters in horizontal and vertical directions works, but, since we're told the robots form a pattern, it's also interesting to find out on which tick all robots are non-overlapping.
At least for my input, that was the correct result.
@modulux Apparently a lot of people also looked for robots in adjacent squares to each other, which is a statistic that spiked on the special frame. But at the outset I didn't have any strong reason to suspect that that would work - we were really given almost no information about what "shaped like a Christmas tree" would mean.
Yes, at first I tried looking for triangles and such and either didn't do it correctly or it wasn't very indicative. I really did not like that problem's formulation at all.

Cudowne. Dziennikarz odszedł, nie odcięto mu dostępu, kradł newsy kolegów ze szkiców artykułów i publikował jako swoje. Koledzy zauważyli i podłożyli fejka, ten łyknął. Pamiętajcie, odbierajcie dostępy odchodzącym pracownikom...

Ever seen the HTML produced by an MS Word export? Blood fountains from your eyes. I once cleaned up such a HTML, and the size of the resulting clean HTML was less than 20% of the original. They even used CSS classes, but then explicitly repeated their definitions every.single.time (like "<p class="foo"><font size…><font family…><b><i>blabber</i></b></font></font></p>", with "foo" of course having font size, family, italics, bold already).
@genodeftest could well have been close to that. I wrote "less than 20%", but IIRC it was less than 10% even. And yes, "full of bloated bloat" describes it pretty well…
If you're surprised Tesla takes and keeps recordings from their cars after seeing the news about the Cybertruck in Vegas, you shouldn't be. This is not something new. Tesla has been taking and storing media for many years, claiming it's used to train their AI capabilities. You can't opt out either.
And Tesla employees do access it, make fun of you, make memes, and share the content internally, without any legitimate reason to access the content.

A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the past …
so yeah, the ladybird dev is boosting conspiracy theories and claiming he's been instructed to participate in "reverse racism" against white men as an exec, and how he was "scared to rock the boat".
if you weren't convinced that he's just an asshole by his "pronouns are political" statements before, then yeah.. here's him diving even deeper into this garbage.
it's always the same. starts with "pronouns and genders are political" and devolves into this kind of stuff. this is basically him saying he believes in white replacement theory.
With the Polish EU Council Presidency, we will challenge current uncertainties and build a stronger, united Europe for all.
To achieve that, Poland will focus on:
⬜Defence and security 🟥Protection of people and borders ⬜Resistance to foreign interference and disinformation 🟥Ensuring security and freedom of business ⬜Energy transition 🟥Competitive and resilient agriculture ⬜Health security
From 1 January to 30 June 2025, it is Poland's turn for the second time to hold the presidency of the Council of the European Union. This kind of chairmanship involves a range of tasks.

I was randomly checking when I have to renew my subscription plan to @Tutanota.
I was surprised to see that @Tutanota quietly raised their prices from 36 €/yr to 39.99 €/yr for the Revolutionary plan and 96 €/yr to 99,99 €/yr for the Legend plan.
