@Tesla @niccruzpatane @wholemars @SawyerMerritt Great, AP speed sign recognition wen 🥺

@heyitsyashu 1. how can you prove the car doing that maneuver?

(Tesla owners, feel free to RT)

@elonmusk It's 2023 and a Tesla can't handle speed limits correctly in Europe.
False map data overrides detected speed signs.
In countries like Austria sign recognition is not enabled on the motorway.
When can we expect this to work? 2035?

[Magne @MagneAndreassen]

@StianWalgermo @greentheonly @NotATeslaApp @wholemars AP no longer pick speed sign map data from roads "above" a tunnel \o/ Babysteps. Still a bunch of issues related to not reading led-signs, lane merging/split and stopping for imaginary things

[Magne @MagneAndreassen]

@DirtyTesLa AP often see but ignore the signs and prioritize map data. super annoying.

Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

"Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

Many people are misunderstanding why @elonmusk wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.

@greentheonly @DobackHuffInc this exactly. long highway and boring country roads is where I want AP to work in L3 or higher. city driving? don’t care

Replacing fossil fuel with hydrogen seems like an ideal solution to make transportation environmentally friendly and to provide a backup for intermittent energy sources like solar and wind. But hydrogen has a few problems

@StianWalgermo @wholemars @NotATeslaApp @greentheonly @elonmusk Same. Fog no good. (Heavy) rain fine.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

Det er uforståelig for meg at en nasjon som er så geografisk velsignet og politisk sofistikert, da Norge noen gang frivillig ville omfavne infrastrukturen for masseovervåking. Dette forslaget er en forbrytelse mot den liberale tradisjonen.

[Signal @signalapp]

We wanted to use Instagram ads to highlight how ad tech invades your privacy. Instead, Facebook shut our account down: https://t.co/RCtGrIp60y

[Signal @signalapp]

Facebook is probably more comfortable selling ads than buying them, but they'll do what they have to do in order to be the top result when some people search for 'Signal' in the App Store.

P.S. There will never be ads in Signal, because your data belongs in your hands not ours.

The iPhone app store shouldn't let vendors describe updates as "Bug fixes and other enhancements." It should automatically replace that text with "Our CI pipeline loses info about what's in each release and we don't care to fix it."
