Out of curiosity, why not go all in on Tokio? Make everything a future, including writing to the GPU. And are you using an ECS based architecture? Do you feel you’d have a different opinion if you were?

Not all requests per second are made the same. For example, it is just as true for this title to have said "How Amazon uses ... to load 1.6 MM requests per second, from just the search page." Each search page load, is 1 request to

Having the file and line number automatically added is quite useful for server logs - especially in production. Very, very few end up in front of an end user. Typically only in a CLI.

> Most accidents are caused by licensed drivers Exactly, the point I’ve been trying to emphasize is: The bar to become a driver in California is really LOW. We should push for the robots to be even better, but given the low bar for human

Should we give the robots the same test, if they pass they get the drivers license? Seems like a low bar to me - for both robots and humans. We should instead raise the standards even higher for both!

Sleep deprivation causes a reduction in ability to reason. Similar to being drunk. A drunk person can also feel drunk, but “how drunk is too drunk?” Similarly “how sleep deprived is too deprived?” The answer is, at a minimum, that a second

The myth about good vs bad drivers has long been out to bed. All drivers are better than average drivers. The problem for all humans is alcohol, sleep deprivation, stress, phones, coffee, makeup, shaving, food, etc. Everyone, including you,

I think you’re missing the point. NASA and ULA like programs trained and built expert training to create those citizens. Being able to recruit them is a non-goal.

I worked there for 10 years. Sure, when AWS was created Amazon.com didn’t use it. However today, Amazon.com is built entirely on AWS. It has been using EC2 and S3 since at least around 2010 (by 2013 “legacy hardware” was almost non-existent

Vehicles in general are inordinately expensive. Lyft just quoted me: $20 for 3.5 miles, in 15mins. That is a reasonable daily commute. 2 * $20 = $40 per day round trip. $40 * 5 = $200 per week. $200 * 50 = $10,000 per year. For a 45 min com

This is overcome with super human sensing and reaction time and better visual angles. i.e. radar based deceleration to avoid accidents already helps many humans avoid collision. It'll help the robot too. The rest of driving is relative
