My understanding is that it's not live remote driving. When the system doesn't have enough confidence in an environment, it asks for remote assistance to label objects and manually add enough data so that it can resume route plann

There is an almost entirely invisible world of people who are alive but suffering to the degree that a normal life just isn't possible. It's completely hidden unless you or a loved one crosses over the line into that world. If you

And yet there are nonzero number of countries that have had only the smallest number of deaths and controlled community spread almost entirely during this entire pandemic. It doesn't do any good to blame, but we should all be copying a

No you’ll be fine. Huge amounts of the internet are built with node. I’ve learned the hard way, you never want to pick a more-obscure solution because it’s technically better. The size of the community is just as much a feature language syn

What’s the reasoning here? Facebook will change the way they operate when people boycott paying the $0 to use their open source projects?

They said uncollected taxes over the next decade would total 7.5 trillion and that sum would be equal to half the total deficit over the same time period. To me that sounds like the total projected deficit over the next 10 years will be wil

Government can never be anything-only. About 20% of adults in the United States are considered functionally illiterate and 10% are almost entirely illiterate. There will always need to be the option to speak to a human who can assist you.

I might be misunderstanding, but I think they're talking about productivity in the sense of work output / time worked. A big part of the productivity increase could be explained by Parkinson's Law of the same amount of work g

The path of learning to code has a lot of similarities to learning to speak a language or learning to play and instrument. You can get to an A2 level of a spoken foreign language way faster than most people imagine, but at the same time, ge

Are there any counterarguments disagreeing with this assessment? Certainly those at the Fed and the Treasury speak confidently that the debt is manageable and inflation is easily cooled, but I imagine they have to project confidence.

I will say that choosing light rail is helpful in that it forces a certain minimum amount of infrastructure to be built. Dedicated BRT can be a good experience, but rarely is built that way. The same cost-cutting forces that drive the cho

Hospitals' bar for reasonably afford is low, in my experience. They want proof that you make poverty line wages or below to write it off, below 300% of poverty line (around 38k) for reductions.

Regardless of debates over the utility of "levels", it does seem misleading to name something "full self driving" that is not intended to fully drive itself.

MetaFilter did a lot of damage to itself by overmoderating. It was my online home for years but eventually there was so much meta-meta handwringing that the sense of community was lost, for me at least.

Yes, a small number of apps have very addictive properties. But those addictive properties occur almost entirely by luck. This idea of app makers as dealers of crack is incredibly self-aggrandizing. It's like someone saying every time
