Even if the code was like that (it isn't), the power of the current crop of models to analyze data for patterns and build context out of code is leaps and bounds what it was even a year ago. And any developer will tell you that the har

It isn't necessarily the case. Another wishful/hopeful thought is that the human experience itself is valuable, that competing for resources and living within a social network and having physical needs somehow creates value that i

"Impact" as in an inevitable crash. I like it because it has unquestionably caused the avoidance of two cases where my car would have hit something. Once when I was merging onto a freeway and the car ahead of me basically brakeche

You're misunderstanding how difficult it is to make major architectural changes to products the way Apple can. One of the ways to do it is to hide the architectural change as something else, something niche, and only when it has surviv

Resolving basic usability issues shouldn't require infiltrating the company.

This is just fearmongering trope. You can imagine whatever you like, but there's no evidence that they're anything other than a car and technology company that wants to sell lots of its product.

My car has AEB and it's great. I'll never drive another car without it. Why not take the energy out of the impact? Humans aren't perfect, and even less so as we age.

We were talking about the fundamental experience of driving the car. If you want to pick at the features that the Toyota can't have, then sure, but you might as well complain about it not being able to fly. My personal experience of th

Well, Bollinger Motors tried just that, but they couldn't make it fly. However, you now have a chance to buy one of the rare prototypes! https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/bollin...

Some brands take software very seriously. This isn't an "entire industry" problem. My experience is pretty small; I've owned the same Tesla Model 3 LR for the last 6.5 years, and the software has been pretty much solid t

This sounds more like you're just unhappy that the majority of people where you live have different beliefs than you do. Have you tried running in an election or volunteering with a party? You might find it quite interesting.

That's hardly surprising. I assume C3P is staffed by parents who have lost their kids. One can hardly blame them for trying to subvert privacy. Frankly their presence is a good thing; the more people who lose their kids to creeps, the

You need to branch out a bit, and take a look at how countries on the brink actually operate. Go check out Hungary for a country that almost lost their democracy, or check out Russia for a country that never had it but tries to pretend like

One of the design goals of Go was to be fast to compile. And they achieved it.

I've found the current cream of the crop to be quite good at resource management. I've sic'd Opus on some very gnarly lambda context bugs and it has directly improved the stability of the product I'm working on right now

First; have you heard of a sharpie? Second; have you tried this with actual 80yr olds with early onset? Because I have. It doesn’t work, not even close. The steps require to get to that point are impossible for an 80yr old with early onset

And in China the state can harvest your organs for political crimes or even just being the wrong religion. Not quite the same.

Spain, France, the entire iron curtain following 1992 dissolution of USSR, Taiwan, Phillipines, Costa Rica, Panama ... and speaking of central America, Venezuela isn't doing so bad either. Perhaps more expansive lists could be produced

It is precisely because the operator of the wifi is not necessarily the adversary a user may be most concerned about. They may be, but they are not the only one. They are the one you know can be, but they aren't the only one.

It definitely puts a damper on my personal enthusiasm for visiting the moon hotel, or even encouraging researchers to live there.

The roasting process is both hypermodern and curiously antique. Burning dung is a tradition passed down across the millenia!

This is the only fact we know for certain in physics; we know for sure that our existing models are incorrect. But they sure are great at lots of stuff and correctly predict lots of phenomenon so until someone can come up with a better mode

If you think Tesla is bad, you should look into GM or Ford. There have been many accusations about sudden accelleration, but except for the Cybertruck's pedal-cover slide, there has never been a proven case of a Tesla autonomously acce

Yes, but recall that those contracts were made in a competitive marketplace where SpaceX was the lower bidder. If not for SpaceX, the American People would have paid more to the ULA group for what has clearly turned out to be inferior resul

If you're thinking of passenger service, perhaps it is a bit unattractive in the short term. No good launching and landing spots. But for military use - think logistics. Rapid delivery of equipment to unusual places. This applies to ci

Going to the Moon or Mars is a trojan horse. Starship's true purpose is to compete with airlines in trans oceanic flights. Musk has said so many times but then he intentionally obfuscates it with all the Mars and Moon talk. But remembe

No country has eliminated homelessness. But only one country landed a man on the moon. What is progress exactly?

That's fun. Octopii rolls off the tongue though, doesn't it? Since we have survived both the Greek and Roman cultures, and have absorbed aspects of both into languages now widely distributed, I'd like to propose that we seed

12am-5am is very quiet, at about 1 per hour. But the accident happened during the 10pm-12am time slot, which is not as busy as other times of day, but can still have workload spikes as evidenced by this situation. ATC should never work alon

You've described a space station, which three countries have already done independently (Mir, SkyLab, Tiangong). But dropping rods from an orbiting platform makes no sense. There's a reason that "Rods from God" didn&#x27
