The new tools are meant to help the developers of password managers and Apple hopes the tools will reduce the instances where users chose their own password rather than rely on the password manager. Because we were holding them wrong?

There have been a surprising number of studies in recent years examining the effects of swearing, specifically whether it can help relieve pain—either physical or psychological (as in the case of traumatic memories or events). In case you need some therapeutic assistance, let fly the elephants!

Perhaps change the title slightly? On the main page, it ends after the work "pain", which changes the meaning!

A hapless IT bod found the Have I Been Pwned service (HIBP) answering its own question in a way he really didn’t want – after a breach report including a SQL string KO’d his company’s helpdesk ticket system. Yes. Yes they were pwned.

Did you really intend the subject line to read "helldesk"? It does seem appropriate, from so many perspectives!

My fingers are funnier than I am today. I guess I should fix it, at least for the mailing (I won’t bother with it above, as I need to remind my fingers to try and be funny more often).
Oh - I take it back. Seems that’s how The Register had it. They are always so good that way...

I wouldn't be surprised if the register has never written an article about a helpdesk....

The Tesla smashed into the truck and its front end pierced through the roof Speaking about Elon Musk breaking up something...
Luckily enough no personal injuries to be regretted.
I have read that the "Autopilot" relies only in the camera images... no lasers or no ultrasonic for distance meassurments against potential collision objects. What could go wrong?
Only thing I am sure is... I won't be using automatic driving for a good while. Neither by Tesla nor by other manufacturers.

I've driven on snow-covered roads where there is little to go by other than the area that is flat and above the height of the shoulders. Even the road signs and reflectors can be plastered with snow. It's challenging enough for a person, let alone an automated driving system. I won't be using one anytime soon either.

I have tried to drive an automatic transmission car on these slippery lanes (I don't know the English term; the driving surface is covered with a mixture of oil and water to make it extremely slippery. They are for learning how to handle a car when it looses the grip, a manatory part of Norwegian driver's training). No clutch pedal to set the wheels freerolling to regain the grip.
It took me only one visit to the training lane to decide that I will never buy a car without a clutch pedal. Not as long as much of my driving is in Norway or other countries with similar winter conditions.

I understand they use parallax measurement of distance. The problem here is that when what the car has in front of itself is the broadside of a white semitrailer there's nothing to measure any distance against.
So it thinks it's the sky above the ground.
This is not the first accident of this kind, and I don't think it will be the last either.

There's another thing the AI missed.
If you watch the video you will see other cars changing lanes, with the car monitoring the road it's interesting that it was unable to pick up the pattern of the other cars moving out of the lane.

Yeah, but that makes the computer think, "Great, I have the lane for myself"

That could partly explain why the car didn't brake, but why didn't the driver brake? You cannot, as a driver, just turn on the autpilot and state that "Now I have no responsibility for the car any more".

The driver was probably busy checking out snapchat.

Have a look at the video again.
Very close to hitting the truck white smoke is seen coming from the wheels.
I think the driver or AI did brake, it was just to late to have very much effect.
I could be wrong and the driver may have been having a toke from his bong just before the crash.

There was a small mudslide in North Norway last night - Mudslide in Alta, Norway[^]. I wonder how a Tesla would have behaved on this road... The text is in Norwegian, but the photos tell their story. Look at the short video at the bottom of the story, where the house tips into the mud as if it were a toy house. Scary.
The last night mudslide is just an aftermath of a bigger mudslide a couple of days ago, about 600 meters long and 300 meters wide, 30-50 m tall. Eight houses were washed to the sea, but fortunately, no humans were hurt. (One dog were caugt in the mud and washed to the sea, but it was picked up from the water by a boat.)
