This.


okay great so it’s safer than a human driver… but this seems to be the wrong metric?

not that it can drive safer, but make things safer for everyone?

If the crashes it was involved in where the result of the waymo following the rules… how is that any better?

Less crashes, not it crashes less. Isn’t that the real goal?


The fact that they no longer require concrete to install is a huge win. Concrete is a very labour and co2 intensive material


In theory I guess, but hasn’t all this gov spending essentially been hidden? If doge finding are true? (And in which now I guess it is public)


One could argue that things were *more* transparent pre-DOGE. Just because people didn't know where to look doesn't mean the information didn't exist.


> In theory I guess, but hasn’t all this gov spending essentially been hidden?

No, it was all publicly debated and passed by Congress, and openly available for anyone to see.

It just never served anyone's political agenda to nitpick and distort and publicize it until the current Administration.


Honestly it's hard to guess what your talking about here. As far as things the administration has used as examples they are pretty much all incorrect (e.x. condoms for Hamas) or wildly distorted so I wouldn't call it a win for transparency, or revealing something "essentially hidden".

If your talking things like their "org chart"* maybe, sort of. There's nothing there that wasn't already available pretty easily via OPM, but one could argue it's a nicer interface. To the extent that it's actually revealed anything to anyone is argue that it has more to do with it being the trending news so people actually bother to look, rather than it being "hidden" before.

Almost nothing DOGE has found is true, or as bad as DOGE implies


Is efficiency of the company the wrong metric in this case? Wouldn’t we rather have a market and prices reflect what it can bare rather than an open tab?


Can’t tell if this is a joke or not


I came in already knowing what neuromorphic hardware is and I'm also unsure


joke I think, anthropod is probably another way of saying bugs/ants haha


*arthropod, as in "joint(ed) leg" (cf. arthritis), GP misspelled it. "Anthropod" would mean something like "human leg".


AI-created chips will be so weird, instead of bugs they'll have aliens: https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Anthropod


Oh christ you're right, they were actually being really funny. I was being super literal and imagined them being very excited about futuristic advances in giant isopod diagnosis and care


Yeah, anthropic bugs. The planet is infested with them.

Agree with your first point, but Ev’s are starting to have a impact on local air quality… just because you don’t have one Dosent mean you don’t benefit


I used to enjoy watching his stuff, but he became hyperbolic, and now has too much rage bait for the algorithm.


And what about all the illegal old growth being logged in sanctioned areas in bc Canada?


Not really, the FOC software that runs on the inverters is compute heavy and safety critical. It gets its own dedicated controller (they are actually running to cpus in parallel in case one fails) and same with the bms. They talk over can currently in teslas. bms states it’s max charge and discharge current, and everything else listens
