Is there any reason you shouldn’t include the entire population?

Why bother using higher-level programming languages to communicate with a computer? You interact with a computer using assembly - raw bit shifting and memory addresses - which is more precise and effective.

Is this a reasonable metric though? No one was buying books in 1945 with gold.

Was the university exaggerating the value, or did you pick up some valuable books for cheap?

Anytime I don’t know enough about a subject, I make it a point NOT to have a strong opinion.

It’s sad that the USA is becoming one of these countries. But yes, that’s what I’m doing - travelling to free countries and avoiding the backwards ones.

“Just don’t share opinions” is not an option for a free society. Being gagged for fear of retribution from a foreign government is not beneficial to my mental health.

This executive action blames forest management for increased wildfires, but the IPCC has predicted this exact problem for decades. Unsurprisingly, climate change is not mentioned. I guess we’re to believe that forests are being poorly manag

Ukraine wants peace with a security guarantee. US wants ceasefire with no guarantee, allowing Russia to recoup and reinvade in a year or two.

At the current rate of collapse, we might be seeing “USA (Lower Canada)” below the 49th first.

I agree with most of what you’ve said, but there are some niche uses. https://www.liebreich.com/hydrogen-ladder-version-5-0/

First you need to have a cult-like following among your base and a partisan Supreme Court who owes you favors. Only then can you enrich yourself and your pals by abusing your position of power to promote meme-coins.

Somewhat anecdotal, but I follow the used Tesla Model 3 market fairly closely in western Canada and have seen the number of listings triple over the last month or so.

I really wish we could remove the 100% tariffs on solar panels and EVs from China and let the free market do its thing. It feels like lobbying and red tape are the biggest things holding back the energy transition at this point.

Good point regarding snow and fog, but I’m assuming operation would slow or stop in those conditions and that would be acceptable. Does a truly featureless wall/road with no visible edges actually exist in the wild? I’d expect cameras

LLC liability protections are not absolute. I wouldn’t be surprised if this would fall under gross negligence or callous indifference or some other legal umbrella that voids the liability protection. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there’s

The quoted latency and neuron counts can also be questioned, but my point stands: it's hard to compete with the human eye and brain with current (affordable) camera and processing hardware.

I think vision-only approaches can work, but our eyes and brain are amazing and it would take some serious hardware. Our eyes have a 200-degree FOV, providing a 576 megapixel landscape, with 13ms of latency. Plus there are 6 billion neurons

There are some chapters in a fantastic book, "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, that explain how luck has a huge amount of influence on the events in the world.

That’s incredible, I had no idea this was even possible. Are most auto manufacturers modelling their vehicles this way? Seems like an amazing way to search for optimizations, predictive failures, etc.

I have been in a similar position. Do you want to write code, and get better at writing code? Then probably find a new job with better mentorship. Do you want to grow quickly in this company and are okay with being a manager? Then stay on y
