Gait looks real bad compared to Boston Dynamics.

Good for them, but the cynic in me is telling me that tuition will continue to significantly outpace inflation, in part bc of this. $100K/year to attend a prestigious college isn’t far off imo.

The F-35C (Navy variant) has barely been deployed out to the fleet. I think only one squadron is using F-35s and they’re still working on training/integrating the platform into carrier operations. Didn’t Top Gun 2 get filmed 3-5 yrs a

You misunderstood. It has effectively Level 3 autonomy on highways under 40MPH, "regular old" Level 2 otherwise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M-J3JydpPA

The US in 2015 had an average household income 55% higher than the UK, which effectively negates most of the arguments this argument is trying to make, as well as the graph which shows daily costs in the US being 60% higher than the UK. Th

So I have to take my eyes off the road after my car just phantom braked in order to touch the 0.5x0.5 inch "Report" button on the 15" touchscreen outside my field of view? Oh, and the button will 100% move around on the scre

It's just standard Tesla fanboy cope. The bottom line is that Tesla is shipping out alpha/beta software to the masses and relying on the masses to absorb the risks of crashing, causing accidents, dying, etc. in order for Tesla to

They’re trying to avoid a wage-price spiral which would likely lead to stagflation.

Tesla doesn't spend money on marketing because Elon/his Twitter/his antics are the marketing. Not sure why you'd trust him at face value to begin with. He's not your friend, he's a door-to-door electric vacuu

“Autopilot (without FSD Beta) will not go over 5mph of a road's known speed limit.” This is false.

They are. Chinese and Russian “advances” in hypersonics are pure marketing. The US was testing scramjets in the 1960s. The US has a hypersonic space plane. Alas, the media fell for it and billions are now being spent on “catching up” wi

I noticed this trend previously and I assumed it was a cost decision. A dark scene has less details, so it would conceivably cost much less to incorporate CGI/post-fx.

Increased energy density is great, but what’s the point of carrying an extra 600-1,000lb of batteries around when for the vast majority of people the extra range is only used in a handful of cases per year, if that. Lots of consumers seem t

“It’s my pretty firm belief,” says Gilliard, “that the police should not be called unless someone’s life is in danger.” That can seem, to some, like a noble if naive thought. Yet Gilliard offers a retort. “The likelihood that it was a Brown

You could have made the same argument about the Internet itself 20 years ago (i.e., a speculative new technology that provides little evident utility while costing a lot in terms of energy usage). What about Amazon's 2-hr delivery? D

I would not vaccinate my child with an mRNA vaccine unless the consequences of not doing so would negatively affect their lives (cannot attend school in person, prevented from extracurriculars, etc.). At the end of the day it is still an e

Silly and unnecessary law. The law they're amending arguably already made such contact illegal, this bill only adds two additional subsections specifically listing condom removal and subsequent touching as being offensive. Laws such

Shouldn't the goal be to deal with the psychological trauma rather than engaging in activities that suppress memories of the trauma? During the pandemic I went down the rabbit hole of the fitness industry. You will find thousands of v

This is akin to language learning. A child can take foreign language courses from kindergarten through high school (~20 years), but in the end they will only learn a stilted academic version of that language. They would be better off spend

Hasn't this been debunked for a while? To prove this all you need to do is have test subjects listen to a podcast or audiobook and then distract them with something for a second or two and the results will undoubtedly show that the va

CPTPP has numerous IP protections, restrictions on state owned enterprises, and a bunch of other encroachments on the members' state sovereignty. China is not going to enter the pact as written. It will either have to be watered down

Facebook has what, almost three billions users across its platforms? 70M is ~2% of that, so a small percentage. While I too doubt that 70M figure, WhatsApp is the de facto communications application in a lot of countries, with many busines

This is what passes for journalism these days? This reads like a snarky blog or Reddit post than an article. I’m surprised a few Zuckerberg memes weren’t included. I say this as someone who wants Facebook broken up or highly regulated.

You live in a bubble. Billions of people use Windows every day, in probably every single country/territory in the world. It's the most used piece of software by a wide, wide margin.
