It's quite impressive they managed to pull that off with a clearly inferior process node (which is still noticeable with the power draw, likely) Still, if ever they manage to at least be competitive on the process node front, that migh

As the epic vs. apple showdown shows, the position of gatekeeper is potentially legally tricky. Additionally, google works as a gatekeeper now because handset makers kind of need googles blessing. But android is open source, and potentiall

But it's also fragile; that fee might not turn out to be sustainable.

Though this isn't is a bad idea, if we really want to avoid the inefficiencies stemming from monopolies, we need to not just break up by business unit, but even more so ensure those business units are not themselves little monopolies.

Sure, that's a fair point - it's a change with likely interesting indirect consequences. However, as a critique of Huxley's piece, I don't it's really relevant. If you're talking about how progress is essentia

From the article: "Macron’s proposed six new “mini-reactors” run on technology that is billed to be less powerful but also less complex to produce and run than conventional reactors. Industry analysts say they help to keep France’s ind

Technically no, they used their permissions to include the organization in the enterprise. But the more relevant question is why that matters. As I tried to point out above, this has essentially 0 impact so far; so people must be worried a

Just to reiterate: the observable consequences of that "hijacking" is apparently an almost imperceptible icon most people don't even see. That cannot be worth getting this worried about; the worry needs to be something else

I'm not sure what you're talking about? Which 13 points? Maybe you're confusing me with a different poster? Anyhow, my objection is to the positive assertion that the AP is safer based on published data. And even there - I ca

While it's easy to see how this sounds scary; the flip-side of this is that it's not clear if there's more to it than misperception/miscommunication. To take the example from the blogpost; the author was particularly sca

If you're merely questioning whether Tesla's really do crash into emergency vehicles more often that would be expected, I get it. But "Tesla's on AP get in these crashes about half as much as vehicles in the general fle

What's the source for this claim? Are you accounting for the fact different classes of vehicle have differing accident statistics (e.g. comparing teslas to similarly old and expensive alternatives), and that autopilot's miles are

So first of all - just because the end-user wants Apple to check for actively malicious programs doesn't mean they assent to all forms of control. Secondly, even on the matter of software deemed malicious by Apple, I think it's q

More likely, it's merely evidence it's a legally sound thing to do. That doesn't mean it's particularly reasonable, simply that it's not technically trivial to reject out of hand. It could equally be a symptom of

I suspect your comment isn't entirely in good faith, but that might well be considered strong evidence of anti-competitive behavior.

In a sense, a self-driving car might actually be easier to test for than complex software - at least parts of it. After all, normal (complex) software tends to have lots of in depth details you need to test for; and a surface area that&#x27

So what about other vaccine mandates, then - are those equally problematic?

The box isn't as black as you might think; they're not training some monolithic AI model, there are separated systems involved. Also, the models aren't entirely freeform; i.e. engineers embed knowledge of how the world is str

Actually, all kinds of data pertaining to the decision making process is recorded (at least for some of Tesla's competitors, not sure about Tesla), and in great detail. The data is specifically designed to make the AI driver "deb

I wasn't close because the driver was paying absurdly close attention. We can't say if it would have been close or not, but there's certainly no hint the car had a handle on the situation, and it's clear to see it was m

The pedestrian stopped as soon as they saw the car suddenly veering towards them; not just once the driver intervened, as far as I can tell. Whatever the hypothetical (it certainly might have missed the pedestrian, or made a last second eme

Any argumentation amounts to handwaving if you squint just right. The argument brought forth by various people is clear: it's more difficult because it involves effort much more consistently, for a much longer period of time. You don&

So it hinges on how different the psychological difficulties of accepting vaccination vs. "just eating less for years" are. Given how many vaccinations people already accept vs. other diseases, and the fact that any such irration

Do you really believe that mandating people do a difficult, time consuming task for years is reasonably equivalent to mandating them to get two shots, which take about 5 minutes each? If no, then whatever the merits of your conclusion it ce

While in principle that's clearly sound - fewer viral particles means fewer future variants appears to be the consensus opinion - I'm skeptical that the decision to recommend boosters after 8 months will have a measurable impact o

The most important trend (IMHO) they point out is that effectiveness vs. severe disease does not drop or barely drops. They claim: To date, none of these studies has provided credible evidence of substantially declining protection against

For perspective, note that the studies you're referring to are studying a rare occurrence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion refers to CDC statistics that 1% of abortions may be at 21+ weeks, but even that is
