In the situation described, I already charged lanes to avoid the toddler / deer / stopped car. The question is what I do about the incoming car I didn't notice. A) change back and hit the toddler B) do nothing, and have a fat

If I had infinite dollars and an infinite lifespan, I would. As is, my wallet isn't likely to be able to keep to with an irrational market, and my risk tolerance curve is very conservative. Unless I hit jackpot, mo shorts for me (in ge

Never been in the path of a speeding police car or ambulance rushing to an emergency from behind you and wanted to get out of the way at the next intersection, just 100m ahead? Statistics didn't support you. Look at deaths per mile for

I think there are soft mechanisms which could enforce speed limits which would need both needs. Even an obnoxious beeper like for seatbelts. I prefer the seatbelt beeper to having seatbelts which won't unfasten until the car has come t

You're passing a broken-down vehicle, a deer that hoped into the road, a toddler, or otherwise go into the opposite lane. There is an incoming car, and you need to merge back before a head-on collision, without hitting whatever you&#x2

No. It's not. Pushing down car ownership might be good, but not based on wealth. Priority should go to elderly, people with disabilities, people with kids, etc. Even so, the goal shouldn't be fewer cars but less miles driven. The

Because it would make roads less safe. It's very common to need to *accelerate* in emergency situations. Something like smart cruise control which drives the speed limit would be appreciated. A hard cap would not.

I have mixed feelings about opt in. A single accidental click on a web site and GDPR has failed to protect the user. Dark patterns allow that to be gamed. And it complicates legitimate uses. I'd like auditable data. I should have an ea

I never said yearly. I said total profits. If you want to be technical about it, sum of discounted future profits. People in this thread are also confusing revenue, gross income, and net income. People in this thread are also giving other c

What's interesting to me are: - market cap - random layoffs - overstaffing - falling competence A lot of frictions build in there. I'm curious how it will play out. I tend to translate market cap for big companies into dollars per

I genuinely wanted to. It was just too bad to be useable.

I can tell you my use case. I have a lot of systems which I'd like to use on a single computer AND at scale. That's sometimes even just for development work. A lot of these use a common API to a more complex distributed store, as

I think the argument is that inflation is complicated by globalism.

My experience is that power banks and UPSes fail more often than my power. I keep a couple charged, but with nothing plugged in. I sometimes plug things in before a major storm, planned outage, or after an unplanned one.

This has inspired about a hundred ideas in my head. Thank you! (They're all ways which on paper seem like I might be able to do things better, but if the sort where 95% don't pan out in practice. Everything from machine learning a

I don't think Elon is either the devil or a saint. He just happens to be over of the few people at his level without a filter. Everyone has weird and extreme views somewhere on some topic. Most just won't express them.

Last I looked, checks had privacy regulations. Most other payment methods don't really. I'm also my bank's customer. For most payment companies, I'm the product.

Because it's basically no resources. If they're not doing it now, they'll be doing it in a few years, and if not banned, selling the data. It's literally adding a 50 cent camera to a cash register.

You fell for a simple fallecy. The line isn't that cash is used in a major crime. It's that someone in power wants someone in prison. 1. You might not be involved in a major crime but you might be a suspect. Lots of innocent suspe

My experience is Wirecutter recommended process products most of the time, and isn't very clueful in how it evaluates them. It's that's Sharper Image vibe. Best air filter would use standard home furnace filters. Those are ch

FAANG wasn't about size but about things like salary, benefits, and looking good on a resume. Microsoft is doing better now, but it's employment conditions aren't the same as FAANG (and no where near the luxuries of when it w

It's a huge Google disadvantage. Everyone reliant on NVidia has an ecosystem. Google has internal systems which are expensive to maintain and generally worse than best-of-breed systems. Google can't leverage the progress everyone

I like having a Wild West, but it should be clearly advertised as such. AliExpress and eBay are clearly Wild West platforms and I appreciate them. Getting scammed on Amazon is different. Amazon should be fully liable since very sophisticate

It's possible to say that in two sentences, without a clickbait title.

I hate the clickbait title combined with the obvious result.... I have read papers like this which were good, and mostly consisted of fine-tuning, combined with a few tricks to achieve high performance in large but specific domains. This wa

It's not a historical curiosity. The decisions needed to make an architecture viable on the long term happen early on and need to be sustained as code is being developed. A lot of that comes down to days structures used, system modules

I generally pick AWS, but Azure is a close second and we use it for specific things too. Aside from GPT access, Microsoft gets compliance right. Working with medical, military, or some types of educational, Azure is a better choice. I like

Perhaps. I don't think this reflects anything unethical on the part of Google, but it does represent that market dynamics aren't working. The point of antitrust isn't so much to punish bad people as to make for efficient mark
