That emoji is everywhere now. It didn't go away, so they were right to highlight it.

This is the point I was going to make as well. I think the article is written for high-agency people, which are rare in my experience, even in tech. Also related: The Peter Principle: people get promoted to their level of incompetence. We t

If the wavelengths are not far from audible, wouldn't it be mostly a translation?

Recommended reading for a bit of insight into the mechanics of the remote operations. E.g: "Fleet response and the Waymo Driver primarily communicate through questions and answers. For example, suppose a Waymo AV approaches a construct

Even if they wanted to they couldn't drive real-time. Remote operators help when stuck.

I read this and was puzzled, until I realized that you are talking about the pills. The nasal spray is effective, although probably not more effective than a saline solution.

Do some research on the American south. It's hot and humid half a year+. The only reason it's so populated is AC. I'd bet there are more houses with central AC in France than there are without AC in the southern US states.

That's pretty nice. Does it write modern C++, as I guess it's expected?

I've had Macs before, from work, but there is something about the M1 Pro that feels like a major step up. Only recently I noticed some slowness. I think Google Photos changed something and they show photos in HDR and it causes unsmooth

People think 33% of US are immigrants? To me even the 15% seems high. I would have guessed less.

BTW, Google tried this too (building a small 2-seater w/o controls). What happened to that project? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCezICQNgJU

Think of pile-ups. No matter how good a driver you are there are situations where you cannot prevent crashing. But lidar can.

This is fantastic! Somehow I hadn't heard about vertically mounted solar panels until now but it sounds great. There are so many advantages to vertical mounts I would expect them to become the norm.

If this is true, shouldn’t we see small spikes of mortality at those ages?

by gniv 2y ago
Why do all those graphs peak at the same ages so clearly? I am probably missing something, but if this phenomenon is so clearcut in the graphs, how come it took so long to be discovered?

Whenever I drive on highways in heavy rain I wonder how a self-driving car would behave. Virtually all human drivers drive unsafely in these conditions by following too closely. Would a Waymo keep the distance? Seems difficult to do in heav

I have the same suspicion. I wonder if it's some construction materials. US builds very differently from the rest of the world.

That was my question too when I saw the graph, and is the reason I posted it here.

Good question about Poland. Would be interesting to see stats on various types of cancers there to get an idea why it's so high. Edit: I found a paper: https://journals.viamedica.pl/nowotwory_journal_of_oncology/..
