There's a difference in expectation between the reactions of a person that has under 10 seconds to react and a truck driver that had minutes of time to plan, including bypassing an emergency ramp designed specifically for runaway trucks.
After passing the Genesee exit, Aguilera Mederos's truck began to smoke as he passed a runaway truck ramp, without taking it, and instead drifted into the left lane nearly clipping a white Chevy Silverado, and passed the next exit as well. For the next few minutes, Aguilera Mederos reached speeds upwards of 100 miles per hour (161 km/h)[6] and passed the next four exits.
If I know kids are likely to be running around, I drive well below the speed limit.
I'm not saying a human driver would have done better. I'm disputing the claim that a human driver would have necessarily done worse. There is not enough information given to reach either conclusion.
Do we know if there was space to swerve? I'm wondering if there was a vehicle next to the car, would swerving into it help slow down the Waymo or would it cause lose of breaking power and end up hitting the person at a faster speed?
A human doesn't have time to consider all that, it just seems to me that the instinctual move is to swerve. Hopefully the other cars are paying attention and swerve too.
I agree that we should be spending more on children, however, I don't think we should be encouraging people to have them. People will have more kids when they feel more secure in their life positions. We should be fixing the social fabric to where people will naturally want to have kids, not encouraging people to have kids when they don't feel like they can.
After the growth period (that is, starting January 1st of the calendar year in which the child turns 18), most of the rules that apply to traditional IRAs will generally apply to the Trump account. For example, this means that distributions from the Trump account could be subject to the section 72(t) 10% additional tax on early distributions, unless an exception applies with respect to the child (such as for distributions for higher education expenses or first home purchases).
Does that mean that anyone who contributes their own money to their child’s Trump account is contributing post-tax dollars but the money gets taxed again when distributed (presumably less the basis of the contribution, which will be negligible by the time the money is distributed)?
I have a few WWVB clocks. The ones that are on the north/south walls will never sync on their own, but east/west walls will sync just fine. I just take down the north/south clocks twice a year and lean them on a west facing wall and they'll sync overnight.
I think that most WWVB clocks just don't have the size to have an omni-directional antenna.
If I have to take the clock off the wall and move it outside, I may as well set it by hand. In any case, I've tried leaving one outside facing west and it still doesn't work. I've literally never had one of these clocks work from NC.
Meanwhile, the WiFi NTP clock I purchased just works, like I always hoped the WWVB clocks would have.
Like for example: I don't know, sometimes I'm cooking for my partner. Do they hear a one-sided conversation between me and the "Live AI" about what to do first, how to combine the ingredients? Without the staged demo's video-casting, this would have been the demo: a celebrity chef talking to himself like a lunatic, asking how to start.
I think this is one of those things that society just adapts to. Some people will be in the kitchen talking to "themselves" but that's okay, people understand why. My Mom would often talk to herself when cooking anyway. She was a verbal processor. You just get used to it and eventually it doesn't seem weird anymore.
That’s fine. I cook. I’ve got my AirPods in listening to music and talk to an iPad with my recipe on it to set timers and the like. And sometimes I talk to my Dutch oven because it has feelings.
Voice control makes a lot of sense in cooking because my hands are messy. I’m just not sure what the glasses are for that could be fun or helpful while cooking. The demo video is… amusing but also wrong, because you’d need to have the recipe before you setup your ingredients.
I tried cooking with a Vision Pro. It was nice to throw up the recipe above the prep area, hovering, so I could prep and check off without messing up a book or print a copy just for single use.
I also liked throwing up a timer above each pot so it was simple to glance at the stove and see how long each pot had on it.
But the Vision Pro is bulky, hot, and heavy. I wouldn't try it again. I could imagine giving it another go with glasses, but I wouldn't be using the AI part of it.
The glasses could present a recipe as actions needing to be taken in the field of view, instead of as a bulletpoint list in a book. And the glasses could use the video stream from the glasses to improve help an AI may give during cooking.
Then again, I don't see myself using them. I also cook and I'd rather just internalize processes and recipes, and something like this would make it way too easy to just rely on the glasses to "know" everything.
There’s already reason to be suspicious of conflicts of interest with TrumpRx, the senators note. There’s a “potential relationship between TrumpRx and an online dispensing company, BlinkRx, on whose Board the President’s son, Donald Trump, Jr., has sat since February 2025,” the senators write.
