Is something on that scale possible here in the US?

Why would you want to increase the death rate by pushing more autonomous vehicles onto the road?
244.
by mozumder 9y ago
It's much, much worse than that, since that 37,461 deaths number includes all deaths, including motorcycle/Truck/SUV deaths, which have higher death rates than passenger cars, perhaps 5x-10x higher. A proper comparison in thi

> Wetware is astonishing stuff. It really is. The eye can detect a single photon. Fingertips can detect 13nm bumps, smaller than a transistor on Coffee-lake CPUs. We're better off acknowledging machine limits to work on other proble

High-quality exists because the human eye is that sensitive and discerning. And there aren't plenty of options that can detect objects at night. IR isn't any cheaper, and then you have to figure out what IR bands you want to detec

A camera can have pretty good dynamic range at night, but it needs a big sensor, a huge lens to operate with a fast shutter speed. In the video, you can already see the motion blur, indicating shutter speed is slower than what it needs to b

Good, because blockchain for elections is a TERRIBLE idea. A large state can hack election results just by having millions of computers perform blockchain proof-of-work on false election data.

Wherever there is a road, there can be rail. Autonomous cars aren't a viable tech until the roads are reengineered with rails built in. It's just way too big of a technical problem to solve with computers alone. Right now the deat

There are probably manufacturing processes where LED transfer costs don't scale per LED. For example, they could use some type of expanding substrate material as part of their transfer process.

We're entering a neoliberal world of open borders and free trade, like Hillary Clinton wanted. I, and many others, fully support that. It's best for the US economy going forward, since protectionism is a good way to wreck an econo

H1B salaries are more expensive than regular salaries for a lot of jobs: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/are-h-1b-visa-workers-real... And the jobs where they're paid less, they're not much cheaper.

lol these things aren't going to be priced per LED. Just like you don't pay per transistor when you buy a chip, you're not going to pay per diode when you buy a microLED display. The costs scale with device area, not device c

Micro LED displays will be an incredible advancement if it comes to fruition. They potentially have the capability to display the full Rec 2020 color gamut. Things will look indistinguishable from real life.

Any tech site that provide private user data via an API needs to make sure that data is guarded like it was their own site, as if their own employees were accessing the data. Maybe what's needed is a PCI-compliance standard or a HIPPA-

So, this is a great way for a major states to actually brute-force hack elections: have several millions of computers do proof-of-work for false ballot data.

I never found this to be true in my high school. The people with the best grades were normal, socially adjusted people, playing sports and participating in clubs. The geeks were always B/C students.

I'll worry when Chinese universities surpass America's in all fields - not just STEM, but in the arts and humanities as well. Until then, America will be the leader of technological progress. Given that, it may be entirely possibl

So, if you can't back up the assertion that it's not testable, you have "effectively" lost the argument. Go back 90 years. How do you know there isn't a 4th fundamental force of nature? Science isn't about maki

> It's non-falsifiable You just made an assertion. Now you have to prove it. If the idea that the spirit is another fundamental force of nature is true, then it can be tested and be falsifiable.

Doesn't work here, since Erlangolem made the statement that it's not testable. Erlangolem made that explicit assertion, and now has to back up that statement up.

You haven't proven that it's not testable.
