Cruise is running _driverlessly_ at nighttime. Like Waymo, they're driving autonomously 24/7 around San Francisco, just with a safety driver. This new announcement doesn't specify their driverless hours. I suspect that they w

This is a strange perspective. Do you consider subways "not a reality" because small rural towns can't sustain one?

This is clearly untrue, given the fact that a biker being run over by an at-fault AV would be national news.

There's an example described in the article, unless I'm misunderstanding this thread. It doesn't change the output distribution, but rather the behavior around the interface, causing certain users of the old interface to bloc

Young people didn't leave Facebook because it was cancerous. They left it because it was boring. The "cancerousness" on Twitter isn't even skewed older: if anything it's skewed younger.

May I ask on what basis you were against them? Was it just ignorance of the facts (like the canard that they just measure wealth), or did you change your opinion of something subjective?

I'm making a much narrower point, which is compatible with those who believe in positive rights. But "human support" is closer to "a right to a free taco a day" than it is to "a right to healthcare".

These two mean exactly the same thing, no? Does anyone read "linked" and infer a direction of causality? To use the famous example, there's nothing wrong with the phrase "Rain linked with wet streets"

IMO you can find similarly strange phenomena without the unusual emotional stress of Covid. This finding is completely in line with my model of how the avg person reasons under normal circumstances. The impulse to check logical blindspots a

It's a predictable consequence of a broader astounding conclusion. Most people have extremely tenuous grasps on reality. Simple logical constructs are beyond them, to the point that they'd scoff at the possibility that they got a

The bar for "rights" isn't "I wish this was more common". Should there be a right to avocado on your burger, or a fifteen-second response time from waiters, or boiling-water taps in every home? Does it sound ridicul

I think you may be projecting here. I don't have the highest opinion of "the media", but framed that broadly, it's practically a "boo light". There are plenty of outlets that I have a lot of respect for, that c

Yea, I think the current consensus on content moderation is dangerous and detached from reality. But ads are specifically a profit center. Price them so you can have the level of basic moderation that allows you to catch ads that verbatim s

Uh, in the eyes of a Fox News viewer, doesn't Australia count as "a liberal state government that doesn't share [their] political views"? What does this comment even mean? It reads like GPT-1 spent too much time on &#x2F

The ~only reason gov't ever does anything is because they think it looks good to voters. And any given voter doesn't have "wants" or "beliefs", just violent mood swings and social performance. This isn't r

I am pretty amateur at cooking, and I use three burners most of the time that I'm making a proper meal. I'm pretty surprised to hear that this wouldn't be very common for the average cook.
