This is not a new technology. L3/L4 autonomous vehicles have existed for 50+ years. Even in cars, it's not a new technology. But it's very easy to claim something without backing it up. Which is exactly what tesla has been do

You don't have to press the breaks or gas when you are following someone without changing lanes.

"I'm not an Elon fan, but" Is the telltale sign of an Elon fan who knows Elon isn't cool right now... Might consider rephrasing that in the future if you're actually not an Elon fan. "I'm not an Elon fan,

It has to go around a corner, that I think explains why he didn't just use a cable. It's a lot harder to go around a corner without some kind of guidance for the wheels.

No one's talking about how the difficult part of the EV-Only future is that it assumes we use exactly the same number of cars as we use today. If we actually want to support an EV future, we're gonna have to support forms of EV

I mean... you could start by taxing realized capital gains at >20% It's hard for me to give an argument like "this is difficult" credence when we already have a capital gains tax that's lower than most income taxes. I

The proliferation of streaming on demand video services that you have to subscribe for as well as things like this, feels like they want customers to go back to the pirating days of the internet. I legitimately think the reason most peopl

The phrasing of this is... weird. What does it mean to "step down as head of Twitter?" Is he going to sell the company? Is he going to hire someone else as CEO to make decisions? What are people actually voting on here... it feels

Oh, I definitely liked thinking it was intentional. Made it a fun freudian slip.

Honestly this is scary. Someone with a lot of power and sway over speech and other things getting paranoid that people are after him, and lashing out at any perceived threat is scary. It would be scary if he didn't have half the power

I am now wondering if the misspelling in the original post was an accident... or intentional. "Crocker" :D

In a word, Hypocrisy. Everyone is up in arms for Hypocrisy. Musk's statement was that free speech would be allowed on Twitter. And yet, here he is chilling free speech. It's not surprising. It's just also really bad. So peo

> All we can say from these big trends is that we have no idea whether peer review helped, it might have hurt, it cost a ton, and the current state of the scientific literature is pretty abysmal. In this biz, we call this a total flop. &

I've long wondered if a part of peer review needs to be replication. OR if there needs to be better incentives around finding nothing out. Like, given the goal is getting published, it feels like there should be better incentives for p

I was definitely expecting something a little more dynamic... But I'm still convinced. Clearly better than real drummers. Ringo is out of a job

It's wild to me, and possibly seems like the next development in cheating, that these technologies are functionally catching people who have a sudden increase in performance. Everything's catching major differences in performance.

You got data with that fear-mongering? I've heard the "problem grows with every inbound greyhound" a lot from the NIMBYs on Nextdoor. But I've never seen anything to demonstrate the problem. Also, it seems pretty easy to

I can't tell if you're so anti-animal rights activist that you're defending what you see as a reasonable use of animals, OR if you're so pro-Elon that you're willing to defend whatever. I'm reading you as the f

One could maybe say that about the book it's based on... But Hollywood has a bad record of "based on a true story." And as you point out, the whole truth seems like it might admit to a lot of crimes that could be used to pros

Are you holding up a fictional movie as a source for why unions don't negotiate on behalf of their card holders? I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying that the pendulum has swung so far in the other direction that

by xracy 4y ago
Right, but ultimately a union is still a democracy, and the bureaucracy has to stay in power. That seems a lot harder to do if you don't actually have your constituents interests at hand. I will grant that in a large enough union I cou

I disagree with Unions being included in the second group. Because their job is actually to make deals for the first group with the 2nd group. Their pay can only go up by negotiating better contracts for union card holders. I suspect if y

I would be surprised if you needed to drive to the HSR station... The public transportation too the city center is better in european cities than driving. Sample route is charles de gaul to the train station.

This mostly hits people with private jets... Trains are better in some ways, and they're wayyyyy better than someone traveling by private jet cause they don't want to ride with the bourgeoisie.
