The number of new physicians in the US are restricted because you need to go through residency and the number of residency slots are limited because they have to be funded by Medicare (why ?). There's a huge lobby (AMA) to keep it that

I can confirm this, Dunkin coffee is scalding hot and it's a reason I avoid them. Atleast I have some closure this is not normal.

I've been reading about the Chinese property bubble for like 10 years now and it always seems like it's gonna burst but never does. Do the Chinese not have access to the equity market, index mutual funds etc. ? Why is 80% of house

Why is it taking so long to launch competitive ARM Windows laptops ? Apple is already in it's third iteration of the M series and there's still no proper competition to the Macbooks.

In America, most get their health insurance through their employers, and you don't get to choose the details. Naturally this leads to middle men because it's all opaque. They'll eventually run up costs because they keep takin

I have enterprise access to Github Copilot and it is surprisingly bad for code generation compared to the free version of ChatGPT (I mainly use it for generating simple functions in C). It always generates incomplete functions and there see

Radars are usually tuned to ignore them because they don't have the fidelity to differentiate between a trailer on it's side and a tunnel and it leads to phantom braking.

I disagree about this being tangential. This article focuses in-depth on a single fatal accident with fancy animations. It's the job of the reporter to explore how other vehicles protect against this and how other regions like EU mitig

This particular Tesla was pre 2021 so it should have both radar and cameras.

So by "normal", I meant the radar-based systems in normal cars, also known as AEB. They are usually mounted low on the front fenders or grille. Semi truck trailers are tall, have a huge empty gap between them and the road, and jus

It seems to have gone nowhere, I suspect due to lobbying.

I'm focusing on neither. I'm saying there should be regulations to prevent loss of life even when impact happens, especially when other regions have implemented known solutions.

I have no opinion on Tesla or their autopilot system, but this is a poorly researched article even for wapo. It's focusing on the wrong thing in this particular case. Even normal collision avoidance systems cannot easily detect a semi

Excel didn't kill accountant jobs and they still have to learn how to add numbers. AI is a productivity multiplier in the same way. It doesn't mean you can get by without learning how to code.

Good. Amazon has something similar. Not sure if the Costco one can be used for kids (i know Amazon doesn't) . I have to pay 150 dollars just to see a pediatrician to check if my kid has an ear infection.
