Oh fuck off already! This place is full of idiots, that I am not banned already is an insult to me.

Devil is much better. It just wants us to sin. And it won't do nothing if we don't sin. Capitalism is much worse. It asks us to pay. It ask us to work. And if you don't yield, you are pretty much doomed, right here on earth. That is not even going into the fact the it poisons the waters and skies and ruin it for all living things....

> I worked at Hyperloop One for a time,

You just lost your credibility.

To be clear, I am not villainous capitalism. It is just an observation. One such as, "predators will single out and target the weak prey".

I was trying to make it clear that people involved here are often helpless due to the pressures inherent in capitalism. I think when you start accepting investments, then you are even more helpless. But one the other hand, it helps one to justify any "evil" by delegating the blame to the investors, and how "we" have to protect "their" interests, so "we" are forced to do this bad thing.

The investors are often completely oblivious to the fact, and they too are blameless. So where does the blame really lie?

Capitalism will try to exploit every human weakness.

If we have a population of people who are not aware of the intricacies involved in self driving, and the current technical state of the art, it is pretty clear there would be entities who would capitalize on it, by claiming to have implemented self driving.

Now, the way they does is saying stuff that actually does not make that claim, but in effect projects it. So right now, we have Tesla people saying "We will start shipping full self driving features by august". And without no clear understanding of what comprises of "full self driving features", the stocks rise. Seriously, it is used everywhere. When a toilet cleaner that claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria, they are doing the same. They project a claim that is very hard to nullify. But that does not prevent it from boosting the sales.

Car companies are particularly at fault because what they are doing can be dangerous to the users.

In other words, it is just something that you think. mm. Thought so.

Apart from this, our brains (actually brains of all things that have to hunt/be hunted) are extremely good at detecting motion, especially at the peripherals. This makes us extremely good at detecting stuff like a pedestrian who is about to cross the road, or an incoming vehicle from a junction...

I mean, we could be focusing 100% on the road ahead, and can still respond to peripheral events lightning fast..

I think this is why a lack of sleep can quite adversely affect driving. It seems that if you haven't slept well. the "behind the scene" processing takes a hit, which greatly impacts driving capability..

Have you used Elm and if yes, what do you think about it. As far as I have seen, it blows everything out of the water for me. It feels a bit weird at first, and It may not be just there yet in terms of features, but the paradigm is solid.

>It was thought that..

Do you have a citation for that?

>because they very specifically claimed that doing it at all was flat out technically impossible

They claimed what was technically impossible?

> But now we have an 80% reusable orbital launch system and he’s working hard on the other 20%.

Has the reused items proven reliable and profitable in he long run, which was the only reason others were not doing the same...

Not sure. Did finishing in 1/10th time part of the contract? If not, then it we can think of the '10 times faster' claim to be bullshit which was only meant to win the bid...

Sorry. Cars have a slightly more potential to kill than bras and vending machines and people dying of natural causes..

I use nvims terminal because.

1. I don't want to learn a bunch of new key bindings to switch between terminal and editor windows. With nvim, I can use the same process that I use to switch between buffers, to switch to a terminal window.

2. I can use the same process to copy to/from terminal/buffer windows, and use the full range of vim registers in the process.

3. I can name terminal buffers in the same way I name editor windows, and use the names to switch to the terminal window.

There is a component of internet that enables exploitation. And there is a component of internet that enables empowerment.

People, by default, will consume stuff that enables exploitation (Ads, Facebook and its friends, porn etc). Very few ll actively seek out stuff that empowers them, even when provided access.

But when you provide only, say, facebook, in the name of giving Internet, to a population, you open a new channel to that population, that is solely meant to exploit. This is probably what facebook tried to do with India and failed.

>No, the point you're pretending I'm missing is that there is this potential

No. You are not missing the potential. But you do not seem to get difference in magnitude. One is incremental, reviewed safety enhancement, Other is unpredictably catastrophic.

You only seem to grasp very superficial aspects of my comments, which is why I requested to give some thought before responding. So I think there is some kind of barrier. But it is not of language. but for lack of a better word, I think it is of a lack of enough shared sensibilities..

The AEFI with polio vaccines are often worse, and it is not autism that scare concerned people off. In India, the conditions in which these vaccines are administrated are truly pathetic. In most places these are Administrated by government pre-school teachers, who have zero medical aptitude. I have seen one being administrated by someone having sneezing/nasal congestion, with a hand towel one one hand, and take the vaccine from their hand purse, and administer the vaccine with zero concern of contaminating it...I mean, these are not stored in the recommended temperature or anything. They put these vaccine vials in their handbag and travel in open sunlight.

And I am not sure if it is contamination or something else, but the adverse effect often result in some sort of paralysis. If you take the kid to the doctors, first they will ignore you and say that vaccines cannot cause these effects. These are from the experience of another parent in India. You can see the interview here [1].

Government here is only interested in boasting the number of vaccinations given during their term. But have no concern about the aftermath, and things like this [2] often does not go anywhere. There are cases were a vaccine manufacture were able to provide vaccines that resulted in deaths of 4 kids, after the same companies vaccine was used in another campaign 2 years before that resulted in death of multiple children.

What I am saying is that, we should be careful.

Please also read the second article. It is from 'The Hindu', one of the most (if not the most) respected news papers in India.

If that is so, Bill Gates is stupid. Because anyone with enough resources can make polio virus in a lab..

>One theory I’ve heard from antivaxxers is that that polio is still widespread, even within the US, but doctors refuse to diagnose it

Please take a look at this [1] & [2]. It is similar to what you are saying.

>I never disagreed that there was potential for the safety to be negatively impacted with every update...

The point you are missing is that while update might be slightly enhance safety, the negative, unpredictable impact might be catastrophic. because one is planned and other one is not.

>99% of Tesla owners follow these instructions. There will of course be 1% drivers who will not.

Where did you pull those numbers from?

>we knew that continual burning of coal and other fossil fuels would cause considerable warming.

Wrong. We didn't know that. We hoped the co2 will be cleaned up by the mechanisms already in place, and we thought the effect would only be temporary. Just like we think the holes caused by the rockets are temporary now, and will not have any cascading effects.

Incredibly short sighted and We have learned nothing from history if we continue to reason like this.

>I'm sure I can prove ESP and I'm not a telepath. Seriously, it is so common, that the big question is why I was blind to it. In simple experiments, with hardly any effort, I see ESP confirmed, daily. That is: mind to mind contact without relying on sound, vision, or a chemical channel.

Can you write more about this here? What were your simple experiments, and why haven't people looking for it found it out already, if they are simple?

Dude, that is not an attack. Only if you have written software, you ll be aware of how seemingly innocent changes can break it in unexpected ways...And your "proof" article does not change anything...

They have also been asked to rename the "Autopilot" feature..

>You clearly don't know what deduce means.

Please explain.

>You've also clearly haven't understood anything I've said during this entire conversation.

Oh I understood you just fine. I just find it stupid.

>You've utterly failed to establish that they are lying.

That is because you are overly generous with assumptions to justify their claims, which is typical of people who are apologetic of fraudulent entities such as Musk

>Tesla already has an established history...

But they haven't save the planet yet. Please give some thought about what you are writing before responding.

>There’s no evidence that the impact on the extremely low density part of the atmosphere makes any kind of environmental problem

That is what people thought about automobiles emitting co2. If we have learned anything, we would be extremely wary of anything that causes big disruptions in the environments, how ever innocent it might seem...

I applaud your mental gymnastics by which you put full self driving to be similar to that of remodeling of a house.

I have nothing else to add. Thanks for the laughs.

> there communication is enough to deduce the limits of their technology..

Not deducing. By what they explicitly state in the manual. About the "need to keep hands on the wheel always". So again. I am not "deducing" it.

>So why isn't the person who coined the term 'homo sapien' blatantly evil for coining the term?

I don't know. Was the person who coined the the term trying to sell human beings as being wise? Are people suffering because of this word? What is your goddamn point?

Tesla is evil because they use lies to SELL. use lies and project a false image to get INVESTMENT. Please keep this in mind when coming up with further examples.

>The existence of imperfectly stated motivations doesn't cause a cessation of causal history.

Ha. Now you are talking about "history" that does not exist yet. Are you really this misguided or just faking it?
