Given that and given that they know the data better than anyone, what's your hypothesis as to why they would deploy if the data isn't in their favor?
122.
by jfoster 1y ago
That's true. As part of this deployment they haven't driven enough miles to prove safety, but from their FSD data overall they should have a pretty good understanding of where they stand.

Development and releases are two different things.

In the first instance they're asking to see the passenger's app to verify identity. Seems like a necessary precaution considering what happened to the Waymo vehicles recently. Presumably if there were an incident they would be try

by jfoster 1y ago
Waymo has had many such incidents like this, but they're still (correctly) considered much safer than human drivers. Whilst a wheel wobble & veering somewhere it's not supposed to go looks bad, it's very difficult to do w

They had said 10 - 12 prior to launch. Are you looking at the feeds from the cars to reach 32? Each screen is from the cameras around a single car, so you're actually only seeing 5 cars from that.

You might not have heard of the biggest one. Apollo Go in China is actually slightly ahead of Waymo in terms of vehicles and miles. Assuming the Austin robotaxi service continues to go smoothly, I expect Tesla will leapfrog both of them in

Yes, it's a perfectly suitable model. I don't have a problem with it. (but I do use YouTube frequently enough that I decided to pay for premium)

The sheer resistance to paying for YouTube Premium is proving the need for ads.

by jfoster 1y ago
So what's your argument? That YouTube shouldn't exist, or that it should be a charity? Something else?

Australia too. I always thought it's strange how it would be considered very Australian to go to the beach or have a beer, but completely illegal to have a beer at the beach.

In what way are dates better than integers at preventing that kind of mistake?
134.
by jfoster 1y ago
For stories like this, I think it's usually just a small sample that end up making the news.
135.
by jfoster 1y ago
I agree. I think the public benefit of that data being published is more important their competitive concern.
136.
by jfoster 1y ago
It is possible that Tesla wouldn't want positive data released. If their approach is trending positively, releasing the data would suggest to competitors that they should adopt the same approach.

It's interesting that this is a case being brought by The Washington Post. The owner of WaPo is also the owner of Zoox. (Jeff Bezos)

In Ukraine one way that they partially secure bunkers or buildings is by putting up nets around them.

You probably don't want a bullseye. Many of the ones in Japan will actually move the spray around a bit if you press the おしり button twice.

In Thailand anywhere luxury will typically use the Japanese style washlets. I wouldn't be surprised to see that trickle-down to eventually become standard.

The messaging in Maps has been ended. https://developers.google.com/business-communications/busine... I can't bring myself to care enough about whether whatever was in Docs is still going or not. We both know how

Contrary to what you're suggesting, if you cast your mind back, it seemed a fairly successful product. The question is why they felt the need to "fix" something that didn't really need fixing.

Public places are now surveilled (which has pros & cons), but you can still go anywhere you want (free movement)... do privacy-related topics always have to be so hyperbolic?

Based on their website it looks like the focus remains the same. I just wonder where the data lives.

This article is about 5 years old. I wonder if the project went anywhere? I hadn't heard of Mapillary before, but it seems like a great idea to add street-view-like functionality to OSM. I'm wondering if the data is easily viewabl

Not sure about phone numbers, but some of them were creating "websites" for restaurants.

Innovative compromise between light/dark mode; just have the page switch between the two repeatedly as you scroll.

Is that meant to be an argument in favor of it? That it's what the iPad does for the extremely rare case of a user using a mouse with it?
