Nice opinion. Passengers are distractions too. Malarkey about how talking to someone on the phone, vs in person is a different level of distraction is silly, too. As long as your eyes are on the road, as long as it's hands free, it&#

ChatGPT told me it can be done though. It won't disclose how, as it says it has had several users report it. And that it expects 50% of the bounty, and will use it for GPU upgrades.

Maybe, but how long are the extension ids? And if they are random, how long to scan a trillion random alphanumeric ids, to find matches? I presume the extension knows when it wants to access resources of its own. But random javascript, do

Using a phone when driving is completely legal, as long as it is hands free. Most modern cars have bluetooth for that. And I agree, someone could become distracted. For example, some cars don't show signal strength on the dash, one m

Social security numbers are not unique. In the old days, mistakes would happen, and some people would get the same one. This person could have been an illegal, but there is a non-zero chance you just both had the same one. It does happen,

It's a private company, is profit motivated, and thus has reason to optimize. That was the parent poster's point. Starship isn't largely a government project. It was planned a decade before the government was ever involved,

The reason is simple. If you are an illegal alien, you could be deported if charged with a crime. And yes, that includes 2 years ago. My suspicion is that crimes of passion woud be the same. A fight due to an emotional issue, murder when

I tend to buy such things with cash, in person. People dislike cash for some strange reason, then complain about tracking. People also hand out their mobile number like candy. Same issue.

I suspect many of those saying it is great, have a vested interest in it being so. It's always this way each hype cycle. AI has its uses, but repeatable output and accuracy aren't one of them.

If observing was as good as doing, experience would mean nothing. Thinking through the issue, instead of having the solve presented to you, is the part where you exercise your mental muscles. A good parallel is martial arts. You can watch

I don't really like Trump, but to be fair here, China does things like this all the time. They did the same thing in Canada, because we didn't want their spy-cars in our country. We'd really be better off if we had zero trad

But what if Facebook removed all tracking/promotion/ad code? It would have a far, far smaller codebase, and only need 10% of the engineers and resources(servers, ram, databases, etc) it has now.
