I believe it would lead to fewer chances for the mites to migrate between colonies - i.e. more flowers == less bees per flower == less chance for a mite to jump from a bee to a flower to a bee/different hive.

That’s just a guess tho and my gut also says that climate change isn’t helping.

This should go under the dictionary definition of “bad faith argument”.

The car doesn’t have to be in self driving mode for the fault to be Tesla’s - for example, the pedals on the cybertruck sliding off and sticking down the accelerator.

There would (should?) still need a 2/3rd majority to vote yes again, but you make a fair point. Especially given our current federal government.

Yes and no. Then the legislators could then pass all the bills at the end of a session and skip the governors ability to veto anything, which harms the separation of power that should be happening now. Really, just make it so the legislators can override a veto no matter when it was vetoed.

You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about.

Yup, but that’s going to be true in every environment. Conflicting or noisy signals are always going to be there when you have multiple sensors. Theres going to be conflicts between pure camera systems - what if a camera sensor goes buggy and starts putting out data that says there’s always a thing to the left?

More systems giving data to establish ground truth is better. Dont Boeing yourself into thinking that one sensor is good enough - that’s how you kill people.

Edit: you also know how they’re doing the depth detection with cameras? With AI. You know, that thing that we keep having troubles hallucinating data with. So the data it’s getting from the depth subsystem isnt ground truth, it’s significantly worse and could be completely wrong.

1. FSD won’t solve the “the sensors don’t detect the wall” issue
2. That was not the point of the video.
3. It did stop, yes. That is a win. Didn’t kill the kid. The Tesla didn’t. It killed the kid. That’s a fail. What’s your point?
4. Why would you run a test multiple times with the high potential for damage to a very expensive vehicle when it’s not supposed to be published in a journal? You talk about cost vs features for manufacturers but don’t apply that same logic to Rober. Its also a one-off thing for Rober, so the math is better for him than the “cheaper, OK with kids dying” method of Musk.

I think you’re underestimating how many situations a LIDAR system will be better than an all camera system. Its also a tradeoff in human lives. I’d rather it be slightly more expensive up front and not have kids die than cheap and kill kids.

And yes. Self driving should be better than humans. Cause humans suck as drivers. We have two cameras in one location in the car. Self driving must be better and make up for the limitations of humans. Cameras dont make up for them and thus are a terrible replacement for humans.

The friendships with LIDAR suppliers aside (always a problem with these kinds of things),

1. the full self driving wouldn’t have saved the wall.
2. He’s telling a story. Disabling autopilot because he’s nervous is good storytelling because it’s science communication, not science. Its also cause he knows it’s super likely to fail.
3. He did show LIDAR having troubles - the heavy rain. Its just good enough to peak through it to stop the car before it hits the kid. it’s just that the self driving ALSO has trouble with this, and in fact worse troubles. LIDAR has trouble in places where the light is going to be blocked, a situation that a pure camera solution on a Tesla is not going to solve. Not unlikely to solve, NOT GOING to solve. In the real world, if light can’t penetrate through a thing twice, it’s unlikely to only do it once.
4. Its not supposed to be scientific, it’s science communication. Science is testing and retesting. He did one test and called it good.

Yup, LIDAR isn’t a silver bullet for every situation to do sensing. But it’s a damn sight better than pure cameras. And Musk would have known this if he was a good engineer. But hes not. Hes a spoiled, rich, apartheid-loving, racist asshole that thinks he’s a good programmer and engineer.

Ironically, famine is likely the one thing that will make Americans actually do something about a terrible leader. Bread and circuses, as the Romans say.

The scores do fail though - they don’t encompass enough information. They can’t encompass enough information because something that is critical in one sense (e.g., and making shit up here, Java listening to the internet) might not be in another (e.g. Java running on specific scientific data in an airgapped environment). Security is always situation and risk-appetite dependent. No number can encompass all that.

You are correct! I misread that. 😑

I love how they just casually mention that he signed a thing to also leave the UN. Misread. I still wanna get off this wild ride, Mr. Bones.

Cool! Do Trump next, cause that was fast.

Yes, but people not paying attention won’t and thus will assume that Trump finally did something good for manufacturing.

Super quick rains wash away very quickly. Not enough time to soak into the soil so they don’t lessen a drought very much. Need snow accumulating in high country, too, which isn’t happening.

Christ, you REALLY like gobblin’ Putin’s dick, don’t you?

My mess up. I didn’t add YTD. So for us right now, pretty much nothing.

But look at where you got the numbers from.

Total CBP Enforcement Actions

Numbers below reflect Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 - FY 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 runs October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024.

FY2024YTD is from October 1, 2023 to now, so that doesn’t mean 7 days, it’s more like 3 months.

EDIT: Added YTD because I derped.

Probably not. But remember that ~4% of all death row inmates are innocent, so it may be that he didn’t kill anyone.

Also, shouldn’t the state be better than a murderer? Shouldn’t the mere fact that we believe we, as a society, are civilized mandate allowing a death row inmate respect before they die?

I’m not religious, so I don’t think praying and final words will do anything. But it won’t harm anyone, and if it makes him more comfortable as he goes out, especially in light of the likelihood he didn’t that to his victim, I’m not against it.
