Again, this also happens to humans all the time too with degrading robustness the lower down on the intelligence chain you get (we are hardwired and deterministic too after all, same physics apply to everyone)

Why do you need legs for conference calls? Also you can totally have legs in VR. Not only are there leg trackers but Meta has already announced they have worked out inferenced leg kinematics coming next year and other apps already have them

Again though - these sensors performed a highly specialized task - there is no inherent reason Tesla wouldn’t be able to outperform them with a specialized visual system
221.
by jjcon 4y ago
I'm not disagreeing that the task is difficult but this topic isn't about general driving - this is about replacing ultrasonic sensors with visual systems. Evolutionary arguments are meaningless here since we outperform evolution

Would having a few days of bad air a year due to forest fires be worse than camping a few days a year sitting next to a big campfire? Depends on if the fires are burning things other than trees?

You literally linked to glucocorticoid hypersensitivity (not Cortisol hypersensitivity) which is an underpinning of Cushing syndrome (hypercortisolism) - again nothing to do with psychological problems
228.
by jjcon 4y ago
Cortisol hypersensitivity is not a medical term or diagnosis - I assumed you meant hypercortisolism? That has nothing to do with psychological problems.

> People with a cortisol hypersensitivity are more likely to develop dysautonomia So are people with HIV, Parkinson’s etc… I’m not sure how that is at all relevant here

It is certainly highly correlated with pre-existing psychological distress. That doesn't mean people aren't suffering, but the 'HN response' isn't coming from nowhere either. https://www.medscape.com&#x2F

I also find it hilarious when studies point out the blatantly obvious - but I'd rather see this way more often than tons of unreplicable crap churned out.

Why is DNA required for that though? That seems like a hugely expensive and complex replacement for a camera - not to mention if the gov wants to wrongly prosecute or imprison people… they can just do it - no DNA required. It seems to me li

Yes that is very true - There is however quite a bit of difference between a full corpse that is mildly preserved and a dried fleck of blood - a big difference too between a stored fluid blood sample and these pinprick dried sample.

by jjcon 4y ago
Yes - blood must be kept at very specific temperatures and conditions if you want to preserve its usefulness in DNA sequencing - most of these are dried blood cards without strong controls which makes them not particularly useful for good D
