loongloongon Toyota raided as safety testing scandal grows

What are the car platforms/skateboards that are affected? Does it matter? I would assume the platform provides a big part of the rigidity, etc. aspects that matter in collision/safety tests. If so, the other models that use the same platforms will also be affected?

(not a car industry person) Thanks!

Interesting takes at the reddit thread on this incident

loongloongon Ask HN: Good online communities to learn about Green / Sustainable Computing?

Any better way to ask this so it is more popular? As AI emits more and more carbon, should there be also more posts on HN regarding sustainability? Balance is good?

Thanks! Seems like grassroots effort, nice to see people banding together for green :)

loongloongon OpenAI didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for ChatGPT, records show

What sort of damages can Scarlett Johansson expect to get if OpenAI launches with the Sky voice for a short while, then pulls it quickly after the backlash (like they did)?

Are punitive damages commonplace for such scenarios?

loongloongon iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes

excerpt from article : "And a person claimed in a later post that “around 300” of their old pictures, some of which were “revealing,” appeared on an iPad they’d wiped per Apple’s guidelines and sold to a friend."

Is this true?

Did a quick scan of the reddit posts referenced in the article and could not find this particular post. But it probably its my fault scanning too fast.

More worrisome is, is the scenario possible? Assuming "wiped per Apple's guidelines" was indeed followed, isn't that technically not possible since the encryption keys were wiped?

loongloongon Apple introduces M4 chip

Doesn't seem plausible to me that Apple will release a "M3 variant" that can drive "tandem OLED" displays. So probably logical to package whatever chip progress (including process improvements) into "M4".

And it can signal that "We are serious about iPad as a computer", using their latest chip.

Logical alignment to progresses in engineering (and manufacturing) packaged smartly to generate marketing capital for sales and brand value creation.

Wonder how the newer Macs will use these "tandem OLED" capabilities of the M4.
