I tend to think you're right about what happened in this instance. It contrasts with your first paragraph though; for the record do you think AI agents are a house-burn-down-toaster AND it was used neglectfully by the human, or just th

The operator (airline) pays the compensation to the victims in the first instance, right? The label and the consequence go to two different parties, both of whom are responsible in some way. Sounds reasonable.

Not the person you replied to, but I'm not sure how you arrived here. Brakes, coolant, washer fluid, diff oil, gearbox oil, cabin air filter, wiper blades. Did you know EV motors can also require oil changes (at hundreds of thousands o

Why do they think we want to look at snail-paced scrolling, stuttery animations?

CarPlay has become somewhat of a standard. It's fine to say you personally don't need it, but many/most laymen will still expect their new car to support it. If a PC was launched without Windows support, most people on HN mig

In addition, that's presumably not on the base model price point. Will be interesting to find out.

That video makes it look like a physical button for the rear door manual release (albeit in a very hidden location)?

This was half the reason I posted to HN, honestly. I've seen several recent examples of modern product pages which render awfully because they're trying to be "quirky". Edit: look at this, scrolling an entire screen only

How are insurers making any money insuring these things nowadays? 30% higher premiums are being mentioned elsewhere in the comments; that doesn't sound like enough!

The hyperbolic fit isn't just unhinged, it's clearly in bad faith. The metric is normalized to [0, 1], and one of the series is literally (x_1, 0) followed by (x_2, 1). That can't be deemed to converge to anything meaningful.

> That division can also then be used to narrow what you're willing to accept (for good or ill) of people in meeting those goals, but the challenge is that they tend to see meeting all the goals as the goal, not acting in a moral wa

I find this framing of corporates a bit unsatisfying because it doesn't address hierarchy. By your reckoning, the employees just follow the group norm over their own ethics. Sure, but those norms are handed down by the people in charge

Amusingly, it appears the README (that would be code, right?) has hallucinated the existence of a docker image - someone filed an issue at https://github.com/strongdm/cxdb/issues/1 In-house employees don&#x27

Do you have any successful examples of software build by this factory in a main that isn't AI-adjacent? I.e. not an SaaS clone, not another code linter/database/whatever? Can the factory build, e.g. a crypto trading algorithm

We're discussing an article about the human externalities of AI progress. It absolutely matters in this context.

How many of the 70 human accidents would be adequately explained by controlling for speed, alcohol, wanton inattention, etc? (The first two alone reduce it by 70%) No customer would turn on FSD on an icy road, or on country lanes in the UK

It's much easier for someone who blurs the facts to keep a clear conscience because they don't have to acknowledge (to themselves) what they've done. Someone who's clear-eyed about the facts is much more likely to have a

I tend to agree with your overall point, but if we're talking about a 1-2 kW of "standby" regen, surely the rolling resistance of any kind of vehicle is in the same ballpark anyway (source: it takes multiple people to push a

Parent comment has a strong implication that the bets will impact their decisions, and invariably for the worse. If "Politician XYZ takes the day off and sits on the couch" were paying 100-1 odds, it wouldn't be such a big dr

Can this be pasted into Win+R? That might give a novice user more confidence; pasting a short command that literally says "shutdown" into a small, easily identified text dialog box seems clear enough. Small added benefit, presumab

Just because something lies on a spectrum where some actors are totally doing the right thing (and others, well...), doesn't mean we shouldn't take a conservative approach to regulating that thing. No-one can legally exceed 70mph
