I feel like people are just willing to pay $25 to get the real thing. Much cheaper than AAA games at $60+, and you get to play the same game as your friends instead of convincing everyone to play minetest or something instead. It was an eve

You're okay training an incomplete self driving machine learning model on the general population?

There are other people on the road, it's not just the drivers that are impacted by this. Calling it "Autopilot" is what's irresponsible.

Tesla is playing with lives and should stop offering Autopilot. Anything less than L4 autonomous driving is completely reckless. Calling it "Autopilot" when it's an L2 system should be criminal. Yes, it's an extreme stan

Why does that matter? The next person who comes by with autopilot on who doesn't know that might also die.

I'm confused by all the assumptions in this thread, including 1. That Google didn't research crypto internally and purposely decide not to pursue it. 2. That crypto is worth staking Google's time, energy, and ego on. 3. That

Have you read much about prusik mistakes and accidents? I feel like this is mentioned quite a bit when talking about whether to put your third hand above or below your belay device. I think I've only heard of a single accident when thi

But that's what the OP's quote is saying. "large" companies use them.

Sorry I realized my comment could be read two ways. I meant to say that I think most stress is caused by the person who is stressed driving too aggressively. They care way too much about saving 2 seconds by passing/riding up on people

You mean the cruise control that's already killed people? The cognitive load of not trusting cars around you is now increased by having to worry about not trusting your own car . That's crazy to me. I'm pretty convinced most

We do quarterly OKRs. Quarterly deadlines are completely arbitrary and my actual deadlines aren't tied to the quarters. So I (and everyone around me) don't take them seriously. We take the actual deadlines seriously. The only thin

We also have 2.2billion or so more people (+41%) than 1990. You can try to argue that we could do it without pesticides, but it is absolutely true that pesticides have been a huge help towards the output of "modern agriculture".

The slippery slope argument is pretty lame. Where's the line? Parents shouldn't be allowed to harm their children. There's the line right there. Is the vegan diet harmful to the child? Probably not, but you'll have your

People seem to focus a lot on the small things. Can I make $300k/year a few years out of college in Texas? If I want to switch companies, can I easily find another similar position near by? Can I golf and ski and hike in the same weeke

3 felonies a day is a lie. The fact that there's a book with that title doesn't mean it's reality. Your point is a decent one, no need to exaggerate.

You're missing the point. "Car deaths happen constantly" isn't a good enough rebut. People will always think they would have been able to avoid the accident if they were in control. It's worse because so far the few

Even in Oregon (or NJ where I'm originally from), it takes longer because of stuff outside of the actual pumping. So if for some reason you're not allowed to charge your own car, it'd just move from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

by patejam 8y ago
This is a straight up lie right? My car (2017 Honda Accord) has a 500+ mile range on a tank of gas. It'd take over an hour to charge to 500 miles. Even at 15 minutes that's a lie. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes of actual pumpin

I'd be interested to hear from the couple people downvoting. Find a lifestyle that lets you eat few enough calories. If that's low-carb, then go for it. If that's counting calories and just eating less, go for it. When I was

> count your calories That's all it really is. Everything else just makes it easier to eat few enough calories, including any crazy diets.

Isn't that the point? Endurance vs strength/speed. Endurance includes not needing to rest as much as the rest of the field.

That's why I said "very easily". I'm not saying it's necessarily the friend's fault, but the trigger is one of your friends clicking "Accept" on one of these apps. I'm also just clarifying what h

Not really. It's like buying a space on the wall to advertise inside the all you can eat restaurant. The restaurant isn't telling you who goes into the restaurant. They're just selling you access to those people through that

Overtime is basically meta-rules as well in ice hockey. It can change depending on the game. ex. it differs depending on if its a playoff game or not. And just like the chess championships, it can change from year to year. I've compete

Not really. The only legitimate reason to choose to not vote is if the top candidates are legitimately equally bad in your eyes. This almost never happens. "I don't like either of them" is not a logical reason not to vote. Ch

A "good reason" doesn't seem to include "because it's convenient to have", which is the reason for a lot of people. UK is extremely restrictive with their knife laws according to their own page. I don't kn

People were talking about their modern equivalents. How is it irrelevant that you can't legally have many modern equivalents in the UK?

That would be a good number to start to refute my safety argument, but it does no good with my non-safety argument.

by patejam 8y ago
It's not just about safety, but I think that the possibility of not paying attention when you need to is higher with an L2 system than standard cruise control. Beyond safety, I think L2 accidents (which are already happening) will be V
