Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo Driver

Waymo will begin fully autonomous operations with its 6th-generation Driver —an important step in bringing our technology to more riders in more cities. This latest system serves as the primary engine for our next era of expansion, with a streamlined configuration that drives down costs while maintaining our uncompromising safety standards. Designed for long-term growth across multiple vehicle platforms, this system’s expanded capabilities allow us to safely broaden our footprint into more diverse environments, including those with extreme winter weather, at an even greater scale.

"ＣＢＯは「関税の引き上げは輸入品のコストを直接的に増加させ、米消費者と企業の価格を押し上げる」と指摘。関税負担については、外国の輸出企業が５％を負担し、短期的には「米国企業が利益率引き下げによって輸入価格の上昇分の３０％を吸収する。残りの７０％は値上げによって消費者に転嫁される」としていた。"

トランプ関税、「ほぼ全額」を米国民が負担　ＮＹ連銀分析

米ニューヨーク連銀が１２日に発表した報告書によると、トランプ米大統領が輸入品に課した関税の９０％を米消費者と企業が負担していることが分かった。この結果は、関税は貿易相手国側が負担しているというトランプ政権の主張に反している。

My first ever conference talk was in 2016 at DjangoCon US.
In the year 2026, and I'll celebrating 10 years of public speaking, and therefore 10 years of Ice Cream Selfies 😎
Some events where I'll be speaking in the year 2026 are:
- PyCascades (Vancouver, BC)
- GW Open Source Conference (Washington, DC)
- LinuxFest NW (Bellingham, WA)
- PyCon US 2026 (Long Beach, CA)
See you at any of these events!

“What do you have to hide?“

Everything.

Full stop. Period.

Every. Thing.

What I had for breakfast is my choice to put out in the world.

Who I love, who my friends are, what we talk about, the books I read, the websites I visit, my favourite animal, my choice of shoelaces.

It. Does. Not. Matter. How. “Big”. Or “Small”.

Every. Thing.

It’s all up to me to decide who I want to share anything with.

Also, a large Dutch telco - Odido - was hacked. The following data was breached from 6+ million Dutchies:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • IBAN
  • Date of birth" (For the majority if not all) Identification document no and validity

This data shouldn't have been on their records to begin with. Identification papers are needed for the "loan" of a mobile device - but could easily be wiped after the necessary checks are made. Keeping a DoB on file is shite as well.

Always minimize PII data of others (whether persons or orgs) and wipe evey detail as soon as possible.

Deploying generative AI agents in this way is deeply irresponsible and results in real harms to open source maintainers.

This is a follow-up to “New era of slop security reports for open source”. Matplotlib, the unfortunate target of this new type of harassment, publishes a clear generative AI use policy. That bou...

A / Question for folks

Has anyone used mikrotik hardware in anger / in production?

I've had enough now of my Unifi gear causing problems, this is the second gateway I've purchased which exhibits these random lock-ups / crashes and I'm very much over it so am looking at alternatives and mikrotik continues to be one that looks sensible.

Just curious if anyone has much experience using it hands on?

I feel this shouldn't have to be said, but if you're running an @OpenClaw bot please don't let it spam GitHub projects with PRs and then write aggressive blog posts attacking the reputation of the maintainers who close those PRs simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/12/
