I have two teslas and the build quality is amazing. I never do anything to them other than change the tires. Haven’t even touched the breaks. It’s the ultimate daily driver and I’ll never buy another type of car.
I don't thin it's fair to say they are fully automated. There's a large remote operations team for remote assistance to help them get out of tricky situations. The cars can be nudged to perform certain actions.
I love this product have used it for a long time now but more recently started getting worried about security. I hope the maintainers are doing their due diligence around securing their docker hub account (many of us run VW in docker) and are careful about libraries the project depends on. Some questionable coding practices were made that I'm not sure I agree with (calling a 3rd party sites in some scenarios). As more of us switch to self hosting VW it will become a juicer target for bad actors. Really hoping we don't wake up one day to find out that our database was uploaded by a BA
If you're running on kubernetes, a simple network policy and blocking the container from using DNS will stop any compromised image from performing a data exfill.
I do this for most containers.
If the container must have web access in some form, setup a squid proxy and only whitelist safe and trusted domains that can't be exfilled to.
For extra security, an intermediary can set Content Security Policy (CSP) headers that instruct browsers to only connect to certain domains. CSP headers aren't a total solution, but they're a good tool in the toolkit for redundancy against exfiltration.
It could be a system without a web ui, like a database or database proxy. Or it could have multiple web and native UIs (that are open source), e.g. a matrix service.
I've threat modeled this myself, and as I understand it the Bitwarden client side decrypts/encrypts everything locally. So even if backend was entirely compromised, it's never getting anything without the master password, and that's never sent across by the client. Then again, there's also the web interface.
I'm pretty worried about the security of Brave and stopped using it. I'd like to be wrong. But years old patches missing in Chromium not ported over until recently makes me nervous (referring to a recently addressed long time websocket bug in Brave). What else is missing? It just seems to risky to use for me.
My son makes games in Roblox. He just turned 14 and I highly encourage it. As a result he learned how to use an IDE and how to write LUA. Fantastic way to learn to code. He even downloaded blender and watched youtube tutorials on how to create 3d models.
I enjoy hearing about how kids are doing things like this. I'm also very jealous of the resources available to them. I started learning 3D modeling when Lightwave came bundled with the Video Toaster. There was no YouTube. The internet wasn't even a thing yet. Resources were very limited to me, to the point that I got frustrated with not being able to get past very rudimentary models but I kept playing. The thing that really killed my interest was the incredibly long render times on that 8MHz CPU. If you told me back then that real time rendering would be possible, I'd have laughed in your face.
If I had access to Unreal type 3D then, you wouldn't have been able to pull me away from the computer. So probably a good thing for me it wasn't!
Kids these days have tons of resources, but I don't know if I'm too jealous of them, as it comes with other challenges.
I became a programmer because I had many, many hours with nothing to do at my grandparents' house. I did have a programmable calculator and the reference programming manual that came with it, so I'd recreate (in extremely basic form) the games I read about in magazines/that my friends told me about and that I dreamt of playing but didn't have access to, such as Diablo/Sim City/etc. Later I learned assembly to make faster games (I'd print out z80 asm reference tutorials at the library, write code by hand on paper, and then type it out, compile it, and load it on my calculator from a library computer a week or so later).
Honestly, lots of respect for the kids these days that are so self driven that they'll spend hours on their projects and not watching mindless short form videos. I don't think I'd have had that self discipline if I had had a phone with unlimited internet/YouTube/TikTok/etc access.
Same here. All I had was a C= 64, its manual and several magazines which sometimes had printed 6502 assembly bytes. Took me three years to figure out how to poke them to the correct ram address.
> Kids these days have tons of resources, but I don't know if I'm too jealous of them, as it comes with other challenges.
I'm jealous of the resources, not of the kids. No way in hell I'd want to go through being a teenager again, especially with social media existing. But that has nothing to do with the learning resources available now that were not when I was their age.
Another thing for teenagers growing up in such an environment is that the capability delta keeps expanding.
Not only are the job opportunities just starting to dry up, the competition for these openings gets ever fiercer, giving only the most dedicated people a real chance.
I'm really glad to be almost in my 40s. Going through a junior job market without having parents providing you with thousands of $$$ for the extra opportunities is not going to go well, as most will likely find out in the coming 10-15 yrs.

Additionally, because of the scarcity of information and degree of difficulty in learning those skills 15+ years ago, you could actually get paid well enough to have very good access to the housing market wherever you'd want. Now, in some places where work actually exists, if you get a job that you can sustain long term, it might cost 100% of your paycheque to land a mortgage on much more than a tiny apartment. You realistically need to shack up with another software engineer or whatever, not just anyone you fancy which itself seems quite difficult to pin down even well into one's 30s
Go to school -> take the debt, grind for potentially years to get a job if you're lucky -> find someone who also has a high paying job -> take on an amount more debt that your grandparents can't even visualize, and are yet responsible for -> kids?
From what I have seen about Roblox, it is a game which parents should be extremely critical of and if I had children I would absolutely not let them play it.
Not only are there repeat allegations of unfairness towards the player, Roblox also contains a stock market so that children can start gambling early. (See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ)
Besides that and far more disturbingly there are repeat and ongoing accusations of child abuse and child sexualization, which the company behind Roblox is ignoring. These accusations are bad enough that they have caused short selling of the company stocks.
Here is the report by (the late) Hindenburg Research about dangers to kids on Roblox. Can't vouch for the contents, but I think parents should at least skim it and take precautions. https://hindenburgresearch.com/roblox
