Well, sure. As I said yesterday, it hadn't previously occurred to me to think of someone else's FSD as helping keep me safe from them. (Thank you again, by the way, for helping me put two and two together on that!) As a pedest

Her ends, too. They share an apartment, in the story. This is certainly an example of what I would expect from a product designed to optimize a prenup. You know, they say money ruins people, but sometimes you just have to acknowledge there

How do you know that there aren't? If you had a "robot software factory" that worked, and you were certain it was a source of not just lifechanging or generational but potentially centenary wealth - well. There was a time i

Sure I do. You're almost good enough, at pretending to lousy construction, to have fooled me. Use more words next time; the semiliterate invariably mistake volume for quality.

So boring you just couldn't help yourself, eh? But no, I've meant every word I wrote this evening here, just as I do every other word I say or write, ever. Sometimes those words are sarcastic! In such cases there is rarely any dou

I didn't say "no one here," though, did I? I said you can't.

You're worried about me actually throwing a drink - 'threatening?' Really. - and I'm taking things too seriously? This is a website! It is, though, interesting to me that you see someone behave in a way you aren't

Not nearly self-aware enough, if you were to go around saying such things to people in person. What a shocking insult, to tell someone their very voice sounds unhuman! I can't say you should never, of course, but I would hope very

Oh, good grief. Flag my comment, then. Per the HN guidelines that is the preferable action: > Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did. Of course I disagr

> I might be focused on 1 or 2 things in that very busy and chaotic environment... ...so you hired a professional to do that job for you, instead of risking the wellbeing of everyone nearby. This was the correct decision!

These aren't a kind of bees who build hives, and dead bees dry out on their own for no longer drinking water. Drying them to a specific set humidity removes a confounder. (Are you a hobby beekeeper, by chance? I notice those pretty rel

It would take a great deal of lawmaking to make phones more worse, for most people, than phone manufacturers and mobile app developers already do. You want to talk about idiosyncratic preferences, really? Here?

> I don't know what this means. You failed, in this case by hastening to cross the intersection as soon as the light came green, to account for the possibility of another driver's error. If you weren't taught to do that, a

Are none of the images meant to load on mobile? I have to assume not, since without them I can't make sense of the article.

Huh. I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed response. I'll need to think about it for a while, too. It had not occurred to me to consider the possibility that someone else's FSD might protect me from the general incompetence

Real question, then, from someone who only bothers driving when he must and even then in a 2016 model: Why do you use it? What beneficial purpose do you find it to serve? I'm asking because I feel I must be missing something, inasmuc

Why is that unreasonable to expect? How can someone participate in a discussion of neuroscience without the requisite knowledge? But, luckily for me, I'm not among those here who have arrogated unto themselves the requirement, with i

I would be seriously uncomfortable to discover myself making authoritative reference to anything out of a "pop neuroscience" book, unless I had myself validated the claim - at least as far as making sure there is a paper that sa

A materialist would argue that nothing you describe rules out malfunction in a brain failing rapidly due to oxygen starvation, and that the commonality of experiences is explicable in terms of common failure modes in effectively identical b

The proper term for those whom the author describes is subliterate. The author can't really help herself either, sad to say. Losing the Tiktok habit would be a good start. But I get that that is like asking my parents' generatio
