Glant··on Waymo to begin testing on San Francisco freeways this week
Just watched the first video that shows up on YouTube when searching "12.5.1.3" and it starts with a small compilation of the driver having to take back control before the car hits things.

Glant··on Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Maybe they're using the video gaming version of cracked, which means you're really good.
Glant··on High resolution logo for any domain or stock ticker
Not sure about stock tickers, but for domains it seems to pull an image from the <head> of a page. Looks like it's trying to find a favicon or the largest application image listed. Seems to skip some things like twitter's meta image tag, so maybe there's a preset list of tags it'll search for?

People in my town in southern NH reported feeling it about 20 minutes after it happened
Glant··on New vuln in Apple M-series allowing secret keys extraction can't be patched
The page for the vuln states there is a bit you can flip to disable the entire feature on the M3, but states no such feature exists on the M1 and 2. If Apple hasn't told them about a similar bit on M1 and 2 in the 100 days since it was reported, there's a pretty good chance it doesn't exist.
Glant··on Senators push to declassify TikTok Intel, hold public hearing ahead of ban vote
Vine existed 4 years before tiktok and was hugely popular with the younger crowd, at least until Twitter bought & buried it.

Glant··on Elon Musk cancels Don Lemon's show on X after a 'tense' interview
According to the article he's still able to post his show on x, so it doesn't really seem like a free speech issue. I don't know the details of their deal, but I would guess x intended to pay for exclusivity.
Glant··on Peter Thiel's $100k offer to skip college is more popular than ever
Gotta make money somehow. Paywalls obviously don't work, as every time one is posted here an archive link is the first comment. I prefer ads over paywalls.
Glant··on Why Is California the Way It Is?
From @jeffbee in another comment chain:

Glant··on AI fake IDs successfully bypass identity verification
Are you talking about the main image of the California license? He says further down in the post that he didn't test that one as the website doesn't accept US IDs. He used a passport from the UK to verify, photo is in the first reply though I think you have to log in to see if.
Glant··on FCC rules AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal
Not sure about the person you're replying to, but my Pixel 6 has automatic voicemail transcription. I thought there used to be an option to automatically send a copy to email, but I'm not seeing it now. Could probably use Tasker or any notification sync service to send it to your desktop.
Glant··on Taylor Swift threatens legal action against student who tracks her jet
She very kindly types up when and where she plans on being and publishes it on her website, but I guess that's not a security issue because it makes her money.
Glant··on John Deere Announces Strategic Partnership with SpaceX
There's gotta be some farmers, someone needs to be there to accept the Monsanto lawsuits

Yes, such as the Ubisoft game "The Crew" which will have its servers deleted on March 31st and can never be played again.
Glant··on The Naz.API Credential Stuffing List
You should try going through the list and deleting accounts you never use anymore. That one's always fun because many companies try to hide the delete account button or simply don't have one
Glant··on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 [video]
I believe Rockstar had been hiring staff in the UK for the FiveM project, so I think that's a good sign
Glant··on 'Weird Al' Roasts Spotify's Artist Payout System in Year-End Wrapped Video
If I understood their plan correctly, it was only the higher $20 tier that did it, and I think only $5-10 was actually split between your top 2 artists for a given month. They ended that program a few months ago.
Glant··on Masterpiece was hanging above an elderly French woman's hot plate
The law of finders keepers
Glant··on A third of chocolate products are high in heavy metals
Not sure if all Lindt products in the USA are made there, but they do have a manufacturing plant in New Hampshire.
Glant··on Malicious Notepad++ Google ads evade detection for months
Sublime Text is pretty great, though I don't know that you'll see much benefit in switching. Notepad++ is a perfectly cromulent editor
Glant··on Netflix is raising prices, again
I've been enjoying Curiosity Stream and Nebula. Pretty happy with both so far.
Glant··on Ask HN: What's the "one book" in your discipline?
Chocolates & Confections by Peter P. Greweling. It's full of recipes, but more importantly there are large sections of information about how the cooking process actually works, how each ingredient effects the end result, why things like excess humidity can cause things to not set, etc.
