Tesla and eight other automakers in China are recalling about 4.3 million vehicles — the country's largest automotive recall — over concerns that doors may be difficult to open in an emergency. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/24/companies/tesla-vehicle-recall-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #tesla #electricvehicles #carmakers #china #geely #xpeng #xiaomi
link to bag if anyone is interested - it’s not the most stylish but bang for buck is off the charts, I’m yet to find a more practical daily carry bag
@decryption That price is ridiculous! I use a PacSafe bag, it’s great but was more than 10x the price… Crazy how cheap these things can be!
Just learned of @Bonfire's “Telling” feature!

How come no one's talking about this? You can embed Fediverse replies even on static blogs!
In the late 90s/early 2000s the US deindustrialised by outsourcing manufacturing
The bargain was basically "you make the stuff, we provide design, research, services, software, and financial markets"
Now they seem to be "de-servicing" as well:
- US films and TV are being shot abroad
- Software dev and related are being outsourced to LLMs and the shift from US models to cheaper non-US ones seems certain
- Finance is all-in on "AI" while tariffs and trade wars destroy its fundamentals

@baldur it’s so sad and pathetic if you ask me.
Harvard is now selling a 700 USD course taught by LLMs trained on their facultiy.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/business/dealbook/harvard-ai-faculty.html
(I don't know what's worse: Harvard's open disdain for education and standards or the suckers who pay 700 bucks for it.)
@tante I think this strategy will soon devaluate all Harvard titles for the joy of those who couldn’t aford them and I think that it’s beautiful this unintended democratic outcome. 😂
Today in "horrors beyond mortal comprehension" I learned that there is an abandoned Mr Blobby theme park in Somerset, and would like to propose it as the location of the 2027 UK Fedi meetup.
@afewbugs gosh, it’s like our very own Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

@bradipo @generalespecifico @informapirata @politica si può (è consigliabile) chiedere l'annullamento in autotutela. Poi si fa opposizione al giudice di pace entro i termini (se non fai autotutela, poi il gdp può non liquidare le spese). L'ho fatto per un amico un paio di volte, anni fa, vincendo.
Montagmorgen.

Yet more evidence, if any needed, that the @guardian is a warmongering tool of the British security state!
“Questions About The Shady Anti-Iran Letter Appearing In The Guardian”

“As the U.S. and Israel continue to wage war on Iran, the #Guardian published an open letter signed by a number of academics- mostly U.S. and UK-based- condemning Iran’s internal policies”
[..]
“What makes the letter in the Guardian even more questionable is the fact that it appears that many of the signatories were tricked into signing it”
[..]
“Who is behind this shady letter is yet to be seen, but it certainly has many hallmarks of a pro-war psy-op”

oh look it's the guy everyone talks about in the elliptic curve books that don't teach you anything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Weil
In January 1941, Weil and his family sailed from Marseille to New York. He spent the remainder of the war in the United States, where he was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation.
lliterally just von neumann
He then returned to the United States and taught at the University of Chicago from 1947 to 1958, before moving to the Institute for Advanced Study, where he would spend the remainder of his career.
princeton and uchicago. amazing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle
Finding all solutions to the eight queens puzzle is a good example of a simple but nontrivial problem.
no, modular exponentiation is a good example of that. n queens is extremely complex!
Most often, it is used as an example of a problem that can be solved with a recursive algorithm, by phrasing the n queens problem inductively in terms of adding a single queen to any solution to the problem of placing n−1 queens on an n×n chessboard.
so this is the kind of order-dependent problem that becomes literally undecidable when you try to enumerate all solutions
@badnetmask@hachyderm.io @ozoned @veronica@explains.social
I just use Peertube as it has rss built in.
But @evoterra@podvibes.co and @phillycodehound@indieweb.social are the ones I'd suggest.
Outside of my wheelhouse but maybe Evo can help

@rysiek Which reminds me.
Folks, ALWAYS get the instructions in writing even from your boss.
Saved my arse so many times.
@onepict this!
And if someone insists (either explicitly or implicitly) on not providing anything in writing, after each call send a summary via e-mail:
"This is how I understood your instructions and the reasoning behind them, please let me know if anything is incorrect."
Most of the time it's not going to be useful. But when it happens to be useful, you will be very glad to have done it.
