(2) I really don't understand why people are surprised that Waymo has fallbacks? The fact that they had a team ready to take over as necessary was well known. I've seen a bunch of comments about this and it seems like people are c

Are you thinking of civil liability or criminal liability? Waymo is liable in a civil sense and pays whatever monetary amount is negotiated or awarded. For a criminal case, some kind of willful negligence would have to be shown. That can pi

Google is a quarter million person company (if you count full time, temps, vendors and contractors). Google Cloud is basically an entirely different company than Search or Maps. Cloud will happily sell you $10m in compute a year and a value

Waymo is 5 years ahead of Tesla, but Tesla has 50% of Google's market cap, with 10x the P/E. So something isn't being priced correctly.

Bruh they're kidnapping people in the streets. They took over CBS and censored a documentary about CECOT.

The guy who spends most of his time posting either in favor of genocide or about how he got cancelled for being a misogynist? He's an excellent scientist but not a calm person.

When the politicians take a hatchet to the underpinnings of society that we built, we have to get political.

Yikes. Sounds like you work for a toxic company. The mid and senior level engineers I know all go out of their way to ask the dumb questions. Every junior employee I've mentored, I've told them the main way they can fail is not as

Every Google publication goes through multiple review. If anyone thinks the publication is a competitor risk it gets squashed. It's very likely no one is using this architecture at Google for any production work loads. There are a lot

Uh it's because the Ellison's bought CBS and put Bari Weiss in charge. That's why it's bad. Because they're bad people with the goal of ending American democracy.
