  Publishing the source is not the same as developing in the open, and only the second changes how the work actually goes.

  open source

  Their words

  You know, there's open source and there's open development. And and and we were technically open source in the beginning, but it was not open development. We would sort of lob the source code out in this repository and scrape the issues off of that and put it into our internal issue tracker.

  I’ve got a GitHub actions thing that runs a piece of software I wrote called shot-scraper that runs Playwright, that loads up a browser in GitHub actions to scrape that webpage and turn the results into JSON, which then get turned into an atom feed, which I subscribe to in NetNewsWire.

  Most of what a car costs is the weight and structure needed to survive human driving error, not the transport it delivers.

  A carmaker's claim to be the safest is mostly an artefact of comparing a new car against a fleet average twelve years old.

  Their words

  Any true safety improvement for Tesla is good to have, but is much more likely due to comparison against an "average" vehicle (12 years old in the US) which is much less safe than any recent high-end vehicle regardless of manufacturer, and probably not driven on roads as safe on average as where Teslas are more popular.
