You think this is clever, but you actually come across as though you have no clue what you're talking about. We are operating under the same definition of robustness, can't believe that your first reaction is to act like I don&#x2

What you're referring to is overall coverage not robustness. In fact, placing your car somewhere you've never been before and operate it seems less robust than one that already has HD maps.

Authority can also be used to corrupt culture and shared knowledge instead of protecting it. In fact, I argue that over a long enough span of time, it inherently will simply because selection mechanisms will be gamed by people who put their

Yea meant to be a neutral comment. Sometimes raising the alarm is justified.

The Guardian is just a distribution channel. Academics and the conservation groups that back them stand to benefit by sounding an alarm since that helps them raise funds and get grants. Not a judgement on the legitimacy of the concern but t

There has always been something extremely off putting about this term, "imposter syndrome" and I haven't been able to articulate it until now. IMO it is a defense mechanism (as is having unchallenged confidence). Claiming you

Have to say the obvious thing: Shit like this is unacceptable. Maybe the article is a hit piece with questionable factual credibility. So this isn’t a statement about the person itself but the behavior described by the article. People in th

> “We had absolutely no work in Russia” Seems to imply a lack of business value, so you don’t have to be that astonished. No one reading this has enough information about whether the business value of that actually existed or not, but at

Re: the strawman argument, I already clearly stated where you misrepresented my argument so if you're still unclear about it read it several times. Your point about ad absurdum is wrong because you're not making a statement on my

Either you don't understand what a strawman argument is or just lack the understanding of it and I need to spell it out for you. A strawman argument is when you misrepresent someone's argument and attack it in a misguided attempt

The details are the important part here. If you understand why people are against the vaccine, it is because they are not convinced that the vaccine results in the greatest public health. Whether this is right or wrong, trying to gloss over

That just shows a lack of understanding on your part. There is a human being on the other side with the same feelings and subjective experiences as in person. You may argue that team and culture is reinforced by doing activities that intrin

Ok there is a lot to unpack here and it may need a few comments. First, you seem to conflate being a billionaire with conspicuous spending or otherwise inefficient use of their capital. Once again this is a generalization and many billionai

The implicit assumption in what you're saying that the only way to obtain a billion dollars is by immoral means. There is no proof that this is always the case.

The truth is that there 100% isn't anything morally wrong with: 1. Building a rocket company 2. Being a billionaire 3. Going on a flight on a rocket your company built The issue stems from how the optics of these 3 lumped together appe

Very interesting perspective. As a early-mid stage startup, you definitely want to invest in generalists who are able to build infrastructure before hiring specialized ICs. I honestly had flashbacks when the author mentioned the carrot dang

In this context it is fairly clear what “AI” is referring to and it’s not used in the marketing sense. Also note that the AV system used by waymo is not only neural network based. There are many components that work together to create auton
