There’s got to be something to do for accountability, but ….
Just want to point out the guy who made up the whole vaccine-autism scare was a scientist. All of the propaganda against anti-smoking, anti-climate change, anti-pollution, anti-lead efforts over the years has been produced by scientists
Educated people are people too. Just because they should know better doesn’t mean they are
I’m not even following why this is an argument , but personal experience …. About 15 years ago the company I was at added telemetry to its windows product. This was legit as we were looking to stamp out some pesky bugs we had never been able to reproduce, no personal data collected. But the basic implementation was to write collected data to disk, then there was a completely separate service whose only job was uploading that data.
The point is the basic model supported collecting telemetry data even while offline and it would get uploaded ifyou ever were online
Yeah, I also tried searching and rash came up as at least the same possibility
Sure, those pictures are always shocking yet have clear meaning.
But cellphones happened everywhere, and people get distracted by them. I’m sure that’s _a_cause of increased accidents almost everywhere
But the truck issue is purely US (or is Canada infected too?). So comparing trends for is data vs other countries is a cheap way of separating the effect of cell phones vs the effect of excessive trucks
They have to accept the liability- it’s unreasonable for liability to continue being on the driver if they’re not driving.
For cereal, I have a hard time getting past how small boxes are getting. How is it that I used to get cereal for the family and a box would last a while but now as a single person, most boxes cost way too much yet don’t last the week.
My selection of cereal is pretty limited these days, because I only select from the normal size, even if they’re now labeled “mega”. Cheerios are my favorite, and luckily they’re usually one of the few
And this time around the hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure spending got cancelled in the last few months, so ……
At least nvisia is making something. The proverbial “selling shovels to gold miners”
Most of the ai companies will never turn it into a profitable strategy but they’ll all buy from nvidia
The problem is
Humans are not only bad drivers But they will have a difficult time accepting that ai is better, until it’s overwhelmingly better. Even then people will blame ai for inevitable accidents and claim “I could have done better”
Fuck humans? Fuck human nature
In this case, I don’t understand why it’s profitable to enshittify candy like this. The only reason to have it is for the good taste
I can’t believe I’m the only one who gave up on cheap candy because it just wasn’t good. While I don’t eat much good candy, I still eat some despite the higher price because it’s good. Aren’t people like this? Or do too many get stuck in then addiction and not realize it’s just no longer good enough to be worth it?
It’s not just automatics anymore, but also
The thing is there’s no longer much of a price difference and manual is no longer the efficient choice
Yeah I finally went over to the dark side because of bostons horrendous stop and go traffic
Of course I’d use transit whenever I could. However I lived to the east and had to drive through Boston to get home from anywhere else. There were times when it took hours to drive just a couple miles: I couldn’t deal with manual transmission for that
Chevy Chevette. This may have been one of the worst cars built, take minutes to get up to speed and over-rev cruising in the highway, but it was also a tank that lived through 6 people learning to drive a stick and probably close to two decades.
It was also really easy to work on, but
Now that would be useful data. Can we confirm that?
Tesla has a huge advantage in scalability. If they can succeed, they will quickly scale out to the biggest.
A lot of people believe Waymo is closer to achieving self-driving, since their pilots are more established, but they are not scalable. They’re not ready to mass produce vehicles nor can they do so at a cost that could be profitable
There are pilot programs from several vendors. Waymo May have the biggest but it’s unscalable. Tesla is growing and if they succeed will scale massively. There are several smaller ones
But what they have in common is
I gotta say it’s somewhat refreshing to be upset over racist cops escalating to attempted murder of someone dark skinned in a far away city …… at least it doesn’t mean the end of us democracy, economy, standing in the world. I can’t believe how low this bar is going
Kessler syndrome is not a big deal here. These particular satellites are so low they would self-deorbit after like 5 years. That’s an argument that more should be at such a low altitude. Let them collide, and drop out of the sky
You also forgot all those rural people that still don’t have another way to get internet. Yes they should have an option
Sentiment toward Tesla improved somewhat as Musk pivoted the company towards robotaxis, self-driving technology and robots in human form.
What are three things that don’t exist and don’t have a market?
The challenging part is a lot of it is indirect. General incitement to violence or misinformation is difficult to tie back to directly causing harm.
Freedom of speech was simpler before internet when you were likely singled out as a kook and ignored. Now with the internet you have a much bigger audience as well as other kooks where you can build on each other. Your reach is farther, you can more easily appear to have common opinion, you can do more harm, and yet are more distanced from the harm you do.
I have no idea what to do differently but we’ve seen free speech in an online world without any accountability has been able to do a lot of harm.
