Edit>> Though if Baidu is investing in AI like all the rest, then maybe they just think they’ll be immune — in which case I’m sad again that I haven’t yet come across a CEO who calls bullshit on this nonsense.

They may just have kept their AI investments responsible—that is, not put more money into it than they can afford to lose. Keep in mind, Baidu is the Chinese equivalent of Google. They have a large, diversified business with many income streams. I expect they'll still be around after the bubble bursts.

Once the apocalypse comes, you can at least use a gold brick to brain the zombies, whereas your crypto will vanish along with the Internet and electrical grid.

Hmmm. I wonder who is making so much money off this that the project is willing to push them into forking it . . . ?

Seeing the word "smart" in a device description has become a warning flag.

Yeah, Wajutsushi strikes me as more like Solo Leveling, except much lighter in tone and with a purely fantasy setting.

The question is, is Tesla FSD's record better, worse, or about the same on average as a human driver under the same conditions? If it's worse than the average human, it needs to be taken off the road. There are some accident statistics available, but you have to practically use a decoder ring to make sure you're comparing like to like even when whoever's providing the numbers has no incentive to fudge them. And I trust Tesla about as far as I could throw a Model 3.

On the other hand, the average human driver sucks too.

In my experience, that's a good way to overextend yourself and end up becoming nothing to no one as a result.

This too shall pass. Granted, it might take a while, though.

There are many more, too, although the number of pages they index is widely variable. Here's a list.

Taiwan has urged its citizens to “avoid non-essential travel” to the mainland as well as Hong Kong and Macau after China unveiled guidelines in June detailing criminal punishments for what Beijing described as diehard “Taiwan independence” separatists.

I'm surprised that hasn't always been the recommendation—it isn't like Taiwan has had a good relationship with China since the establishment of the two countries' current governmental setups.

Linux users are hard for using a terminal when they could just open a document in a text editor.

The command line is always there and always has the same basic tools, assuming the system is bootable at all. You can't guarantee that a given system has a working GUI—it may be broken, inaccessable, or never installed. Having some kind of TUI editor installed is usual on non-embedded systems, but you can't guarantee which one or that it's fit for purpose (coaching a newbie through a vi session isn't something anyone wants to do). That means that the generic instructions that get passed around because they're fit for most systems (regardless of distro or purpose) use the command line tools.

So there is method to the madness, but if you're coming from a "GUI or bust!" OS it can take a while to get used to.

I cannot imagine a less welcoming and beginner friendly community

You have very little imagination, then.

There's no "may" about it. The Ars Technica article indicates that the Internet Archive's front page was (briefly) altered in addition to the account data being stolen.
