i call bs on this kind of observations and all advice that claims you need to know A,B,C to be a “real programmer” imho, you need to 1) be curious 2) continuously learn and want to improve 3) don’t make the same mistakes over and over again

what does drive a car exactly like a human mean? i am going to assert that you don't need AGI for self-driving cars. in your example: that's not how driving works. the driver - even a human one - is not expected to answer random

this sounds exactly what machines silently taking over would say

not quite true. when you show a kid something new you are literally exposing the kid to the thing thousands/millions of times. different angles, rotation, heck even if you’re just looking without touching from a fixed position your ey

hmm. i have to disagree. driving a car is a walk in the park compared to AGI. they’re not even in the same ballpark. for driving we at least have an idea how to make it happen and we need better tech, more training data and maybe alter the

ha. sure, one can see it this way. or you can read it, think that it makes sense and take it as a fact. i can tell you all day that's a hypotesis, when I'm focusing on the hypotesis you're going to go with it. i also fundamen

definitely overhyped. definitely presented speculations as fact. definitely too ambitious for its own good (what it tried to cover is insanely large) and does a mediocre job at best. i know a lot of people that loved it and recommend it (an

How many people work at Youtube again? What is their age distribution? Now, from the general population, for those at his age, how many have experimented with LSD?

yes. you are right. what makes a supermarket “better” is that their tech is not yet there + you can in theory pay with cash making it harder to link your identity with your characteristics. we need strong privacy laws so that the penalties

I hope that everyone that is trying this out and/or is excited about the technology is aware that they are basically giving away their biometric data. The way you talk, your physical dimensions, your behavior, everything that makes you

i don’t believe that the question is valid in the context of hn (after all people here are curious by design and have probably heard about most things out there). that being said, I quite enjoy Elixir. It builds on top of Erlang and the lan

you’re making the assumption we’ll use the same type of DNA and that this will work in exactly the same way. pretty powerful assumption

for what is worth the parent comment I responded to was: "Ammusingly, Paul Stamets is the name of a scientist in the newest star trek series." The clarification was added afterwards, but who cares. if people want to downvote me, g

i don't quite follow your logic. something about glass houses and bad luck? the whole point when something like this happens is for you to ensure that a region going down will not impact you - not to laugh at people that use another cl

as someone who has gone hiking in most of the national parks in the west of the US I can tell you that trails are marked pretty well and whenever you’re in doubt you should just go back. most people that get in trouble are a little too adve

i don’t know what your app is doing but what I’ve done in the past is to boot from the sd card and switch it to read only after and use an in-memory tmpfs after. I’ve hacked this together quite a few times that at some point I’ve put togeth

not saying roads/infrastructure is not important. I’m saying that I would not want to pay extra for something that maybe is going to guide the cars. we already have something that does that: it’s called a railroad. my bigger point is t

at this point I have to ask why are self driving cars needed when we're talking about the tax payer eating up the cost and are we sure we don't have other things in which the money would be better invested. sure, self-driving cars

i believe (and someone correct me if wrong) that driving on the interstate (and self driving cars/trucks) is a somewhat [way] easier problem than driving on any road. you’re not going to get a lot of value from what you’re proposing, b
