I doubt your “other domains” are as safe and reliable as the aviation industry. An automated system may be possible to make, but will require a huge undertaking to bring even close to the current safety standards, and would introduce its ow

Little OT, I was using Hotmail in 2015 to apply to grad schools. I got an email about interview from a professor with @vt.edu address that got flagged into spam. I noticed only after someone else got selected for funding. To this day I don’

On top of that, when we immigrants also compare against other developed countries, we see how immigrant friendly the US is. The natural born citizens wouldn’t necessarily care about that

Internally that is probably something similar that is happening, but as far as I can tell it was never designed to specifically do that. Here is an example of the things GPT-4V is capable of: https://blog.roboflow.com/gpt-4-

MS could decide to prevent resale of next new game to be release on the PS like they did with Starfield. However, they are still significantly better than Sony, so can’t complain too much. This acquisition is probably a good thing for the g

There have been some “anti-western” Nobel peace prize awards in the recent past. I think Saudi Arab was not happy about 2011 Nobel peace prize winner for example. While Snowden and Assange have done great things, they are not exactly in lin

Ok I’ll bite. I’m a “driver” and I live in a place where it is impossible to goto work without driving. When my ICE car finally stopped working I bought a heavy EV car because I care about climate change (not environment, but GHG emissions)
