Probably a bit, at least some execs might want to have some cool shit on their resumes

Your response is crazy to me. Humans are known to be remarkably inconsistent in behavior. Please read ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ or at least go back your HS psych 101 notes.

> Humans have the meta-cognitive abilities to understand when their abilities are insufficient or when they need to reinforce their own understanding

I feel like this rhetorical question of yours was reductive enough to constitute B&W thinking

> So your argument is that Bell Labs should have never happened? It was a bad thing for humanity?

A person can appreciate the contributions of Bell Labs while still agreeing with the decision to ultimately have broken up the company.

I never said that a person cannot appreciate the contribution while agreeing with the decision to break it apart. The idea was if monopolies are bad an Bell Labs is the product of a monopoly in an ideal world AT&T would never be a monopoly and Bell Labs would never existed, right? That's the first part of my question. The 2nd part was kinda asking if that's the case and Bell Labs should not have existed, why is that? Was it bad or good for humanity? If it was good then why should a good thing not exist and create so many crazy innovations. Did AT&T monopoly created so much bad in the world that it offsets the good Bell Labs generated?

This was my idea but answering 10 comments I left this short and indeed oversimplified version of my thoughts. I have since edited the comment to be clearer.

I’m betting on waymo because they use lidar

Well and because they actually have real self driving cars without a safety driver. Tesla doesn't have that and only has demoed it in very specific scenarios.

It's not that black-and-white.

And those demos are VERY old at this point.

I own a Tesla, though I don't own FSD, but this year, Tesla has given all cars a trial of FSD on two occasions. It works remarkably well. I backed out of my driveway, then enabled FSD and it drove all the way across Portland to a friend's place with zero intervention. It was about a 15 mile, 30 minute drive.

It navigated neighborhood roads without markings and tons of cars parked on the curb. It got onto the freeway and navigated, including changing lanes to overtake slow traffic. Once I got to their place, I was able to tell it to automatically parallel park on the curb.

As far as I'm concerned, Tesla has fulfilled their promise of full self driving. The "supervised" requirement is basically just being used as a legal loophole to avoid liability if it fails.

> The "supervised" requirement is basically just being used as a legal loophole to avoid liability if it fails.

"If it fails" - so it is supervised for a reason then. It makes sense because FSD has an intervention rate in the low double digits according to community trackers like https://teslafsdtracker.com.

I think I'd only consider the promise met if they take the liability

Because processed foods are associated with many health complications.

Sources to back your theorem on the cause of obesity?

You get obese since you eat too many calories. Humans obey thermodynamics.

Unfortunately it is a lot easier to eat too many calories on Cheetos and Doritos Locos tacos than less processed foods like salads.

I think your point on nutritious food being widely available for cheap is spot on.

That said going back to entropy to explain how a structure of dozens of trillions of cells harvest energy from foreign structures following a lifetime of heuristics is utterly misleading.

In particular it makes it sound scientific, when we have very little practical knowledge on how it works at scale and can't reliable do falsifiable experiments to prove our theories.

I mean, we're still literally burning stuff[0] as a proxy for the digestion process because we have no other way of coming up with a stable number. Which gives us aberrations like gasoline having higher nutritious value than potatoes (which totally makes sense in thermodynamics, I concur)

What? What would make you think that dehydrating a food would make it go bad quicker?

I believe that they can already solve novel problems. I can’t find a link but I’ve seen something where ai-skeptical researchers were surprised by chatgpt’s ability to solve certain problems that absolutely wouldn’t be in its dataset.

But of course LLMs can’t handle basic math

Many of those projects are defunct, remarkable hacking is truly in a dark ace.

The Google drive integration is completely different to the connect one.

It’s not automatic, it’s manual.

It works essentially in the same way that the ‘send to email’ feature works. Which means if you make a change to a file, you have to delete the file on gdrive and reupload it.

Of course it's different. reMarkable are trying to leverage their own solution. It pays for them to make the user journey a little more awkward. But 3rd party integrations still exist and they do still work.

And they needlessly crippled them, hence I'll never buy an expensive product from them.

It's capitalism, baby!

Not uncommon
