I did and it doesn't really give complete answers.

The latch is fine, but the sensor to detect when the driver didn't close the hood can break. I dont understand how an OTA can fix that, and idk how common the problem was, so I can't tell how sensational the headline is

Is this a real recall or an OTA update?

I hate Tesla, but a lot of news outlets are like

TESLA RECALLS BAJILLION CARS And what they really mean is they released an OTA update to fix some extremely rare race condition.

The issue is still bad, but I feel like the news outlets are sensationalizing to the point of dishonesty sometimes.

To be clear I'm not sure I understand the actual underlying issue here, so idk how deserved the headline is, but whenever I see them, I'm immediately skeptical

I found somewhere I had previously shared it, it was a toktok, but the it no longer seems to exist and I don't even know the creator anymore because the URL just redirects to the Tiktok homepage now.

I copied the lyrics though, and they go like:

Made AI so we could do the fun stuff
And it could do the dumb stuff
But now it does the fun stuff
And we become the dumb stuff

Trying to see if it was reposted somewhere

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the formats themselves.
Writing rich text using a text editor is kind of like writing HTML with a WYSIWYG editor, but just like with HTML you can go in and write RTF by hand.
Likewise you can use Photoshop to make an image, but you could also go in and set the pixel values of a bmp by hand.

By sliding scale I didn't mean wrt how you wrote them, but rather how much like an "instruction" the file tokens (for lack of better word) are. Is it instructing the computer to do something? Or is it data that the instructions act on?

Sometimes the line between input data and instruction is blurry.

Does that make Rich Text Format a programming language then? Does that make jpg a programming language?

I think that markup is the data that a program takes as input - but I also think it's not black and white. How programmy a language is is a sliding scale.

Nearly all the comments are taking a literal position on if it is or isn't a programming language.

Idky I'm being singled out for not understanding the joke. It seems like nearly nobody does. And I still don't.

So... The humor is just absurdity?

The "program" is the package of instructions that tell the machine what to do. The instructions are written in a programming language.

With a markup language, the markup is the input to a program (like a browser) that tells the machine what to do.

But I think it's not really boolean, it's a sliding scale. Especially with so many programming languages being interpreted or JIT compiled. I think it's less a programming language than many other programming-related things, but more of a programming language than, say, a slideshow.

But isn't that because the ads aren't part of the video? If players can tell when it's an advert, presumably ad blockers could too.

(Although presumably they have to tell the player to disable video scrubbing)

I don't think it is.

Care to explain what I'm missing?
