The fundamental way how youtube content is organised is channels. You find a few channels you like, you watch their back catalogue and you subscribe to their new content. And it is indeed a business layer too. The people making the channel

To be honest. I think this is one of the strengths of autonomous cars. With humans when they do this at max we can punish that individual. To increase population wide compliance we can do a safety awareness campaign, ramp up enforcement, ra

One has to look at the alternatives. What would i do if not use the LLM to generate the code? The two answers are “coding myself”, “asking an other dev to code it”. And neither of those approach anywhere a 10^5 failure rate. Not even close.

100%. You are correct on that. You can’t use your kinetic energy to go around after a landing attempt. But not because “you don’t get the energy back”. (As recursive suggested about a downhill bike ride which is the part i am disagreeing wi

That is exactly what a rollercoaster does and it doesn’t start “pedaling” after 20 feet. Of course real systems have losses and you can’t practically use all the energy. But you don’t have to believe me. Look at the video of this glider doi

That is perplexing. Of course you get the potential energy back. It turns into kinetic energy as you descend. That is why you need not pedal downhill, and often even need to brake to prevent the bike from speeding up too dangerously.
