I don’t mind ads in the videos for creators I enjoy, it pays their bills. There’s a difference between those and YouTube’s ads which the creators don’t get a big percentage of. I can easily fast forward those ads if I want to, anyways. How

Yea the shadow data for my area is hilariously wrong. It’s missing a whole forest that shades my house and a road nearby.

Well, the things I said were proven in open court with evidence and witnesses, and today the verdict came in: 34 guilty counts. You just claimed a bunch of stuff without any evidence, so I’m not sure what your comment is worth.

Which of Trump’s rights were violated for SCOTUS to grant cert? Otherwise, this is legal case law today which will be referenced in the future no doubt.

He paid off a woman whom he had an affair with to not talk about it during the election. That is election tampering. He then falsified business records to cover this up. It’s a classic political coverup and bribery case. I doubt it would ha

Yes this is a landmark case, clearly it’s fit for HN consumption regardless of being political.

You still didn’t answer my question about robot taxis, you just did another “what about x“.

He’s the first president in history to be convicted of a felony. This particular one is related to election tampering, where he paid off a pornstar that he had sex with while married to not tell the story during the 2016 election season. Se

So answer my question, how do I know the Waymo sees me? With a human I can tell 90% of the time where I live (we have tint laws and stuff). I can’t see trusting that a robot sees me, otherwise I guess I’m just giving deference to them now?

With a human I can look at their face to see that they see me. How do I know a robot sees me? Do they have indications that say “I see you and won’t drive” like a driver looking at you in the face and waving?

All the AI demand software s today isn’t AI, it’s just some mathematics and basic algorithms, but it’s better than nothing which is what’s there today mostly. Source: I work in this area. Also: I’m looking for work!

Make a few podcasts a month that are “members only“. You can make the links unlisted publicly, then just don’t get annoyed when they are shared for everyone by some nice member :) Anyone who gives you money gets a membership, it’ll be minim

Based on history I’m sure we’ll have sentient AI slaves at some point if we get that far. We won’t even know it’s sentient at first until we figure out it’s suffering or something. Then it’ll take a decade or two to do something about it, a

Every story in here, for or against cannabis, basically has no evidence. A lot of stories about people who went nuts when they took weed, but no studies of if the weed caused it or just revealed it. A lot of stereotypes for people who took

“There’s no systemic problem.” Meanwhile, the operators were allowed to leave a parameter blank and the default was to set a deletion time bomb. Not systemic my butt! That’s a process failure, and every process failure like this is a syste

Fair enough, everyone can’t agree on everything or communicate with each other effectively. I am particular about masks because I know several close family members who could only go out during covid when people regularly masked, and when ma

The ice cream analogy was stupid, that’s what I think. Ice cream isn’t a virus, it’s not even the same stakes! Do 1/100 to 1/250 people die from new ice cream varieties?

I guess maybe I just won’t get it, it seems like nothing, to me, to wear a mask if requested, so I don’t get the push back. Do you feel like it’s being too submissive or something? I prefer explanations of how you feel and what your interna

What about vaccinations? I’m talking about for mumps and stuff, things we should all agree are necessary. Those are more invasive yet we accept them today as a requirement for most of society. I just don’t understand (cause I’m autistic I t

I live in a place where masking isn’t a big deal, people wore masks all the time before covid if they felt sick to prevent transmission. During covid, our rates were quite low, and the rates of countries like Japan where they mask routinely

Agreed, sim racing is a great hobby, especially if you can’t afford a race car or don’t live near a track. In doing a six hour classic endurance race in (digital) Sicily this weekend with 24 other teams and I don’t even need a passport! If

The hospital is fine, I was there when I crashed a personal EV into a bus and needed an ambulance. There was no sign of zuck around there other than the name, I assure you. It operates like any other big city hospital I’ve been in (there ha

Not all of us are as morally bankrupt as that. I personally think I could make tons of money with a dumb AI product in my specific area of expertise, but I don’t see how any tech from today would improve outcomes versus the SOTA that’s not

Traveling slowly in a harbor is when the most load is required due to having a bunch of stuff happening during transit. You’re going to have every generator and engine on, all the anchor equipment, line handling equipment, the steering and

This argument makes the most sense to me, thanks. Hopefully American auto manufacturers will get a clue and build smaller cars. You could have several in-town ranged compact cars from the batteries and resources used for one EV Hummer, for

That makes sense, thanks. I would still prefer American companies get onboard with tiny electric cars rather than the massive electric trucks happening. This is like the 70s all over again with the gas crisis and American auto manufacturers
