Yeah exactly. I've loaded up from tj's on sardines for many years and they were always fully stocked, until this year.

In US I haven't seen them for months at Trader Joe's. Usually they stock 3 different kinds.

Harm to the world. I seriously believe screen addiction is worse than obesity and opiates but it's so normalized, no one can imagine a world without it.

Humans also have prior world domain knowledge. A human driver seeing a guy running across the road behind an obstacle can infer that the human will probably pop out on the other side (and prepare acco…

Seriously. I just remember as a kid seeing my school bus driver browsing the adult video section. I'm sure he did not want to find "community" there.

I swear it's the era of chesterton's fence. Boundaries in life, whether personal or professional, are largely protective for everyone. https://letter.palladiummag.com/p/…

Google banned political conversations at work. Tech companies are learning from first principles why work/life separation, traditional office culture exist.

When I worked in flight test you realize how much pilots don't know anything. It's exactly like a car driver vs. automotive engineer.

That's not what your original comment says at all. You're pontificating on future aircraft configurations while you're just learning the ABC's of being an enduser of said products.…

It's a lot like saying, "as someone 5 hours into driver's ed in my mom's honda civic, I believe that future stability control algorithms in self-driving cars..." Or the differ…

This is a massive improvement for airliners where margins are a few %. Tube and wing configuration is already highly optimized. This is a physical problem with a hard limit. Can you make a sphere &quo…

Toyota had the largest recall in history for the unintended acceleration debacle. Yes, lots of people were saying they'd never set foot in a toyota again. Now people don't even remember it.

can we not do this

One honest caveat worth flagging though.

Fair callout.

Wait where is that from? Googling just takes me back here.

Drones killing drones in the sky. Each side is just burning piles of money until one runs out. Imagine if that could be put towards something useful.

Is there a way to benchmark the accuracy, validity improvements in these successive benchmarks?

Chomsky said it was the only newspaper that told the truth.

Tax breaks for filming and it's not SF specific or even cities. Other planets too, like Stargate SG-1 being filmed around Squamish 1 hour away.

Chinese govt is a GPU. US is a CPU. Whether that's hereditary is a separate question, but culture exists.

You're right. It's only good for the superrich.

The US is very good if you're very rich. It's bad for everyone else. China appears to be somewhat bad or critical of the superrich, which is why they want to come to the US, but good if you&…

Read the headline - sounds like a therapy / anti-suicide advocacy app? Clicked the link - ok looks like it's for ski touring, because it mentions avalanche stuff? Checked the route catalog -…

I just remember on a podcast, he said he thought eventually amazon would have physical stores. Listening to this I thought that sounded terribly outlandish, and so did the cohosts. Their whole deal wa…
