I think people forgot how bad it was. It was much more fragmented before but instead of services it was fragmented by time. Sure you have access to Seinfeld, but you can watch one or two Seinfelds a night at 8pm and 11pm. I also remember ba

Most accidents happen because people are human, aren't paying attention, are inebriated, not experienced enough drivers, or reckless. It's not fair to say that vision based models will "make the same mistakes people do"

Why make things more complicated than they need to be? Humans don't have lidar and we are the only intelligence that can reliably drive. Lidar just seems like feature engineering, which has proven to be a dead end in most other AI appl

There was a small group of doomers and scifi obsessed terminally online ppl that said all these things. Everyone else said its a better Google and can help them write silly haikus. Coders thought it can write a lot of boilerplate code.

I suppose at the margin they can compete. But there's also a lot of uncertainty when adding a single route can wipe out your entire business. Also private services often pick off the most profitable opportunities leaving the leftovers

I think the market opportunity can be a standard and eventually get labels to include your standard in addition to their traditional labeling. Figure out the variables (like shape, inseam, width, whatever else) for each article of clothing.

I think it's just numbers. There are maybe a few dozen people that see your post on /new. That's a tiny sample size, not a good proxy for how interesting the post is. You see this on Reddit as well where the same exact post g

Of course, I don't need to know everything, just if I'm hiring them I'd like to know if they have been tried and convicted of a crime, and then I can make a judgement whether it's disqualifying for my particular need.

You terms are acceptable. I'll put a sign out on my business that says "none of our employees have criminal records". Note you are free to advertise hiring prior offenders. You can also look up business ownership details and

Why are only some sectors "vulnerable" and who is to make that call? How about the person cooking my food? You're over-thinking it, trying to solve for a problem that doesn't exist. No one has a "right" to work

Higher price encourages more supply. Typically when you see a acute shortage, its quickly followed by a glut as supply starts coming online in an over correction.

Exactly. A lot of this reads as a coping story about losing a job. If you were laid off, chances are you weren't valuable enough. Pure layoffs happen. But from my experience useful employees almost never get let go. Doesnt mean theyre

The AI is real. The "alignment" research that's leading the top AI companies to call for strict regulation is not real. Maybe the people working on it believe it real, but I'm hard-pressed to think that there aren't
