Tesla reaches settlement in autopilot death case of Apple engineer
Will we be able to get FSD that is, statistically, safer than the average human driver? Probably. Will it ever beat the best human drivers? No way. Humans think in a way that computers cannot replicate, no matter how fast they process information there is no way they can make judgement calls. I'll always be more comfortable driving my own vehicle or riding in one driven by a professional human driver than I would be in a self-driving vehicle.

M3 MacBook Air review: The ideal Mac laptop for Intel hold-outs

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that's a large portion of the Mac power users who are still using an Intel Mac.
if someone is holding out its because they have a specific program that runs natively on the Intel Mac that for someone reason has issues running on a M-Series Mac, or they just don't have the funding to buy an M-Series Mac. Or, even they're going by the if it ain't broken don't fix it mentality and will just upgrade whenever the Intel Mac stops working for them.
I'm sure there are other reasons to upgrade, but I know a lot of Mac users who had no clue which programs would break when they updated their OS or purchased a newer AS Mac. I therefore took issue with the implication that there's no possible downside to upgrading from an Intel Mac. Buyers need to do their research to make sure their shiny new Mac will meet their needs and to prepare to adjust for anything that won't work after the upgrade. -

$300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device
Amazing. We've gone from the hidden port on the early Apple Watch that had such potential to having to buy a $300 USB2 dongle that adds no useful functionality whatsoever. Who at Apple is greenlighting these products? Have they somehow never heard of goodwill? This product is creating badwill with developers, who are possibly the single most important group of people outside Apple employees to turning the AVP into a success.
