They are doing inferencing on the vehicle for lane keeping, traffic sign detection, emergency braking, etc. The biggest problem is really how do you get to 10^n miles per disengagement, for n>=5. Waymo is kinda getting there, Tesla isn&#

Argo AI used to be in that space in Europe, in collaboration with VW commercial vehicles and MOIA, until about a year and a half ago. I believe VW still has a group working on this.

Gates is an investor in some carbon dioxide removal companies and seems to be involved in decarbonization, so at least he has an incentive to have Microsoft do the right thing. That being said, maybe Microsoft won't, and will buy the l

Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize how some people could justify things like factory farming and environmental depletion, and your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Realistically, if you eat smaller servings and walk more, it's easier to have a healthy weight. The last time I went to Japan with an American friend, she commented that the portion sizes in Japan were so small. Combined with all the w

What I've done in the past was to set up a wireguard VPN that also has pihole installed.

The worst part is when it hallucinates an answer. Google slides doesn't have a morph transition (PowerPoint does), but the AI will confidently claim it does: https://www.google.com/search?q=google+slides+morph+transiti.

You can fly carriers that don't have any Boeing planes. JetBlue, Spirit, and Frontier don't operate any Boeing planes, as far as I know.

That's already the case, although not for domestic travelers it seems. See for example https://reason.com/2020/07/30/homeland-security-seized-2-bil...

Are you going straight from 8-10 cups a day to 2-3? It might help to taper the dose over time, say doing seven cups for a few days, then six, etc.

Spend a few bucks on an EC2 instance with a few terabytes of RAM for an hour or so. u-3tb1.56xlarge is about $27/hr.

I got a plug in hybrid (Lincoln Corsair) and I like it. If you can charge at home, most of your errands/commute is within the electric range, and you can set it to run solely off the battery, you can go several months without having to

If there's already an outlet you can just use a level 1 charger. No need to install anything, they plug in a regular 120V outlet. They're pretty slow though, only adding a few miles per hour of charging, but if you're not dri

It's an interesting contrast to how Google used to operate; pay high salaries to get the best talent they could get their hands on. Looks like they've shifted to keeping the lights on and cutting costs now.

One possible explanation would be that it detected the unicyclists as pedestrians, assumed that it would be able to overtake them, and was unable to do but kept trying to overtake them. Seems like a failure of their path planning in this ca

BigQuery is nice but it's definitely a major foot-gun in terms of cost. It's surprisingly easy to rack up high costs with say a misconfigured dashboard or a developer just testing stuff.

Some of the low cost carriers fly exclusively non-Boeing planes: Spirit, JetBlue, Frontier.

My guess is that it's likely cultural. Cost cutting seems to be done much more deeply in the US than in Europe. For example, economy class on all North American airlines is rather miserable, while most European non budget carriers have

One way it could work is if Spotify divided say $8 per user across all the streams that user listened to that month. So if a user only listens to Justin Bieber this month, he'd get the full $8 in stream royalties, while someone listeni
