If walking onto the hood of the car seems like a good idea, I'm not sure calling it a murder bot makes sense. Walking into the hood of a human driven car does seem likely to result in violence, however.

SSDs and zRAM help too, but seriously 8GB of RAM on a $1600 laptop is ludicrous.

I'm not surprised that pedestrians are waiting to cross rather than taking right of way at an abomination like that. With driver load that high it would be suicidal, whether or not they legally have right of way.

If the property has gone up in value, the area has clearly changed. Either they don't like the changes and can cash out their unearned windfall, or they do like the changes and can spend it. As a class, real property owners are wealthi

Medical errors happen all the time and often are preventable with better processes. Just don't invest in reducing the error rate and boom, more business.

Actually this entire construction is wrong: currently people who improve their land get penalized by higher taxes. If there are only land value and not property taxes, we are in fact increasing your freedom to make changes to your land with

We prevent people from using their property as they see fit all the time via zoning. It is in fact mostly those with generational wealth that use this power.

Because the SIMD registers are a fixed width and the memory bandwidth is fixed, so you can process more values of a smaller bit width per unit time.

The article is pretty clear that a human driver did hit the victim.

The premise is that spending more once is worth it. If you don't need a lot of compute, you probably could have gotten a still high-end machine for 1/3 the price.

Even easier: just prevent gas from being delivered. Cars also make excellent roadblocks.

It's very easy to prevent movement via car: just block the roads. Blocking people moving on foot is much harder.

Under this framework, all labor saving devices should be thrown out. Guess we'd go back to the days of 90% or whatever of the population being employed in agriculture.

I would phrase this differently: cyclists and pedestrians don't need stop signs. Drivers do. We already give pedestrians right of way at four-way stops. It's pretty reasonable to extend that to cyclists.

Did you overall have a better experience than buying mid range and periodically upgrading components? I'm skeptical. I've probably spent around that much (very rough estimate) on 3-4 builds over the same period, and for most of it

That doesn't seem sustainable. Amazon's advertisers seem like the type to want to sell something directly rather than bolster their brands, and if they aren't getting a return on their spend they'll stop.

There tend to be a lot of heuristics involved when deciding which optimizations to apply and in which order, so there's plenty of room to apply some machine learning. Whether LLMs are the right approach is a separate question. In SQL o

So much discussion about whether Cruise slightly delayed the ambulance from leaving the scene. Hardly any discussion of the fact that it was a human driver that ran over the pedestrian, "critically injuring" (brutally crushing par

Assuming you work 9-5 in an office, would you be happy getting a commuter pass or an alarm clock as a gift? I imagine some work-obsessed people would, but most would prefer something more personal.

I'm unclear on what the problem is here. People with lots of capital owning real estate seems like the status quo.
