With all of the telemetry, am I correct to presume that Tesla probably knows the current odometer reading for pretty much every car they've ever sold? So they could easily give out the denominator for the fatality rate in the original

Even more fun would be if alcoholics were more likely to buy Tesla's because of the self-driving aids. And it turned out this cohort was less likely to be involved in fatal accidents than the non-Tesla-driving alcoholics. So that eve

Battery costs keep coming down. We are now sub $100/kWh, and Chinese batteries are approaching $50/kWh. So a 75 kWh battery will cost less than $4000 in the not too distant future. And costs should be way more interesting when

Maybe my original question wasn't specific enough? So you are saying there is no "extra" red-shifting due to the gravitational effects of the black hole for light coming from behind the black hole? Some photons skim "c

I know there was a lot of teeth gnashing in the past about HotSpot warmup, and I think it mostly boiled down to not much of a difference for most tests.

Also countPrimes() is side-effect free, and the value isn't used. So I wouldn't be surprised that at a high enough optimization level, that neither instance of countPrimes() is called for C or C++.

Since you don't notice any red-shift with your eyes in daily life, why is zero velocity relative to the camera not a natural choice? Or maybe I'm not following you?

Your upper limit (1000000) needs to come from runtime (user input/file), otherwise you could create a C++ template program to compute the answer at compile time. Also, you might be interested in the Benchmarks Game: https:/&#x2F

It is better. But in the year 2024, why should I believe the data from a random source, with unknown data analysis? When will they be releasing their data package for independent analysis? Why isn't this the expected norm? And how
