Yes, but he spent several years in self-driving cars (https://comma.ai), which while interesting is also a space that a lot of players are in, so it's not the same as seeing him back to doing stuff that's a little more out there, especially as pertains to IP.

We have a product for sale: https://comma.ai

We raised $18.1M and have made $28M in lifetime revenue to date.

Where are you getting your narrative?

What about comma? https://comma.ai/ Seems like our old friend geohot built exactly what you want.

The issue was that the front camera on the windshield couldn’t see under the hood. You misunderstand how easy it is to solve for depth and distance with AI without requiring stereo cameras. Read https://github.com/commaai/openpilot

Nice to have: I want to get a self-driving add-on that supports some cars better than others. Not a must but high up on my nice-to-have list.

EDIT: I probably should have added that I currently have the base model of the Kona the lowest model available, and I am looking for a similar thing in the ioniq 6, because my understanding is that it's fully compatible with the comma.ai device and therefore I am not planning on getting the better on board driving system, the Kona that I got unfortunately was not compatible with that device.

I wonder how bad this is compared to the competition. https://comma.ai allows you to add self-driving features to a large number of non-Tesla cars so, if we’re including physical firmware hacks as a threat vector, I’d bet tons of alternative cars (new enough Honda Odysseys, Toyota Siennas, etc: probably anything with adaptive cruise control and lane following) have the same sort of potential vulnerability.

Not sure, but from the first article from 4 years ago:

>Last month, we had 1,209 cars drive a little over 1,000,000 miles

Let's say they've had zero growth since then, so 48,000,000 conservatively?

Actually, from their website [1]:

>100+ million miles driven and 10k users.

Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal has documentation on how to reproduce their Play Store builds and compare them with what you've installed locally:

There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Telegram and Signal solve this.

Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)

Here is one: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/tree/main/reprod...

Rule 1: Posts to r/signal must relate to Signal.
