Read the book. Great story. Was curious why they decided to roll up the program at the end and blow their own cover. Book mentioned it was getting too popular, but that didn’t sound right.
Hopefully, the talk will explain it a little better. Bookmarked to watch.
Good thing they stopped emptying train toilets on the tracks.
They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it’s time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.
Saves them $800M and change.
Many years ago, folks figured out how to crack firmware and find embedded keys. Since then, there have been many technological advances, like secure enclaves, private/public key workflows, attestation systems, etc. to avoid this exact thing.
Hopefully, the Rabbit folks spec’d a hardware TPM or secure-enclave as part of their design, otherwise no amount of firmware updating or key rotation will help.
There’s a well-established industry of Android crackers and this sort of beating will keep happening until morale improves.
Phones have had accelerometer/gyros for a while now. Problem with pinpointing one’s location is how to get a starting fix and how to deal with drift and loss of signal.
The way devices have dealt with it is to periodically confirm and baseline with a satellite fix.
If this method does away with all that, it could remove the reliance on overhead signals and those trying to jam them in hostile zones.
Pretty cool. Lots of potential.
Reminds me of project CHIP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer)
Hooefully, with better economics.
I bet they forgot to rig the webcams, microphones, seat weight sensors, and infrared desk presence trackers.
Given the amount of money they’re looking for, guessing it’s for the unreleased products in the pipeline and their patents. Anyone who buys them is not purchasing their v1 product.
Edited my post to explain better.

Judging by the downvotes, I didn’t state my point well enough. Magic Leap took a LOT of money, got a lot of hype, and nearly went out of business multiple times.
But they were also the first ones to demonstrate and kick off overlaying data on top of real world, what we now call Augmented Reality. Their implementation was clunky and the device was expensive, but it showed people a glimpse of what was possible in a head-mounted, immersive form factor. 10 years later, Apple released the Vision Pro which used different tech, but did pretty much what ML1 was trying to do.
I think the Humane AI pin tried some interesting concepts, but is heading in the same direction. The idea of a small, wearable, AI device is interesting. Ten years from now, when you can run it all on-device and have a hands-free, GPT-8 level conversation with it with no cloud connection may well be a yawn.

It’s cool tech that is ahead of its time. 5-10 years from now, a big tech company will make something like this and everyone will cry Huzzah!
Magic Leap went the same route.

Media: So… you know those high-tech chipmaking machines? The ones banned for sale to China. The ones needed to make the processors for phones, cars, TVs, and AI servers. What happens if China invades Taiwan? Doesn’t Taiwan have a lot of those machines?
Manufacturer: not a problem.
Media: Phew. Glad that’s settled… Say, how come?
Manufacturer: (slaps the roof of the $250M machine). We can lock this baby remotely. In fact, here’s the remote (pulls out a keyfob).
Media: OK, cool, cool.
Techies of the world: WHAT THE ACTUAL FU… !!!
MSVC supports unicode. In C or C++, you could try:
#define ; ;
Second one is the greek semicolon but the client I’m using may strip it out. I’m too lazy to try.
Outstanding!
Watching it, my first thought was if it could also be used as s display for a large calculator? Guessing the computation part would require electronics, but then again, there used to be geared tabletop calculators.
Very nice work.
Fire-extinguisher robot dogs in 3, 2, …
I tried listening to it. Didn’t last more than 5m. It was horrible. Like a bad Vegas Seinfeld impersonator.
Best thing to come out of the lawsuit is to hopefully make people think twice before pulling a similar stunt.
I heard that interview and have been casually digging into ActivityPub.
BSKY does account for a few more situations that ActivityPub currently doesn’t.
One is pluggable algorithms. This way you’re not tied to one kind of ordering in your feed.
Another is layered moderation so you can adjust automated vs human moderation policies.
And the last one is how to transport all your stuff to a different server under several different lockout scenarios. I’m still not clear which one’s better if your server just disappears or gets locked out.
In the long run, though, there has to be just one service. You can’t have Mastodon, Bsky, and Threads each with different functionality and incompatible islands.
1000 charge cycles. If you charge twice a week, that’s 500 weeks or a little less than 10 years. There’s no mention of degradation over time.
But back-of-the-napkin, it means for this to be cost-effective, they may want to come up with some sort of replaceable or battery swap system. Not sure anyone will want to buy a vehicle that needs a massive battery retrofit every 8-10 years.
