news.ycombinator.com Fred Lambert 2025-11-14 00:23:55

Tesla has changed the meaning of “Full Self-Driving”, also known as “FSD”, to give up on its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomy. Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles in production would be capable of achieving unsupervised self-driving capability. CEO Elon Musk has claimed that it would happen by the end of every year since 2018. Tesla has even sold a software package, known as “Full Self-Driving Capability” (FSD), for up to $15,000 to customers, promising tha

In 2024, three book authors, Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber and Kirk Wallace Johnson, sued Anthropic, accusing the start-up of illegally using their work to train its A.I. models. The suit is among the four dozen cases that copyright holders have brought against A.I. companies. Some have been dismissed by the courts. Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Microsoft need enormous amounts of digital data, some of which is copyrighted, to build its A.I. models. The companies have long claimed t

Reolink’s New Floodlight Camera Uses Sensors and AI to Detect Where It Can’t See

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-11-14 00:30:02

Reolink rolled out a new smart home security camera at IFA 2025 that the company says can see beyond its dual camera lenses. It’s called the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, and it looks kind of like the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, a camera I recently reviewed, but with a ball-shaped camera housing that rotates to see things that three sensors above them have detected. This sensor-based approach gives the camera a 270-degree detection range at any given time, according to a press release that Reol

Google's new Pixel 10 phones are here, and they boast a handful of spec upgrades over their predecessors, as well as more AI features. The three models look very similar to last year's Pixel 9 phones. There's a standard Pixel 10, a higher-spec Pixel 10 Pro and a large Pixel 10 Pro XL. There are still some differentiators between the baseline and Pro models, but that lead is shrinking with more top-level features trickling down.

The pace of software output has never been faster. AI tooling and decades of platform innovation have dramatically lowered the barrier to code creation. With just a few prompts or API calls, it is now possible to generate entire products, features, infrastructure, and functionality in hours rather than weeks. And yet, despite all this acceleration, delivery outcomes remain stubbornly poor. Too many initiatives underdeliver, budgets continue to overrun, and users are left underserved. If cheaper
