Footage taken by a passenger shows a Tesla Robotaxi getting totally stumped as it tries to escape a parking lot, aimlessly driving in circles while its human "safety monitor" sits bored in the front passenger seat, doing nothing to intervene. Ladies and gentlemen: the self-driving software that Elon Musk says will be piloting millions of cars by the end of next year. The video was uploaded by Dan Burkland, a self-described EV enthusiast.

imaginima/Getty Images The B2B technology market has been in a state of deep freeze for well over two years, since the Fed began increasing interest rates, raising borrowing costs, and making funding more difficult.

VILE: Exhumed is an unjust casualty in Steam's sweeping censorship campaign

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-01 18:02:03

Over the past few weeks, thousands of video games have been banned, removed and delisted from Steam and Itch.io. The justifications for doing so have been almost comically vague, and at least one highly anticipated title is now unable to be sold despite containing nothing objectionable.

Go Assembly Mutation Testing

While maintaining and developing the Go cryptography standard library, we often spend significantly more time on testing than on implementation. That’s good and an important part of how we achieve our excellent security track record. Ideally, this would be especially true for the least safe parts of the library. However, testing assembly cores presents unique challenges, due to their constant-time nature. This has been a long-standing issue. For Go 1.26, I am working on introducing a mutation
