from the wikipedia on the trolley problem this is mentioned:

> In 2017 a group led by Michael Stevens, a YouTuber known for his brand Vsauce, performed the first realistic trolley-problem experiment. Subjects were placed alone in what they thought was a train-switching station, and shown footage they believed to be real (but was pre-recorded) of a train going down a track, with five workers on the main track, and one on the secondary track; the participants had the option to pull the lever to divert the train toward the secondary track. Five of the seven participants did not pull the lever.[28][29]

That means in real life it's going to be closer to 0.286 (2/7) than 0.75. Human ethics likely can only be accurately derived from paying attention to the instinctive reactions over survey-based approach.

The verbosity of the entire post can be condensed down to just this bit:

> verbosity is a substitute for thoroughness

Clearly OP author is far too wordy as well!

I bet all the new Omarchy users will really appreciate this one!

the post mentions ncspot

Great problem to work on!

Interestingly gmail suddenly started loading dog slow in Safari for me. I'm on an older version of Safari so that could be a factor - so bizarre though. I wouldn't put it past them to be doing that deliberately.

I agree 10.8/10.9 is the sweet spot.

It baffles me seeing tech people often seem to leave the dock along the bottom of their screen, wasting valuable screen space, especially if they're on a laptop. No auto-hide or anything.

Exactly what I think is happening here, confusion between web crawler bots and the other sort of bots.

it's not free because it's priced into the phone plan (phone plan price is jacked up), unless you got grandfathered in w/ a good rate.

> and (at least at the time?) eventually needed to replaced.

All cochlear implants from any of the cochlear implant companies have a % chance of needing to be replaced. Failure rate is something like 4% in the first 10 years, and 10% in the first 20 years.

Serious questions - why does Elon Musk not have any rejection sensitivity?

I've got fond memories of reading "The Little Engine That Could", his article on the wonders of mesh networking, potentially cheaply by flashing Linksys WRT54G with OpenWRT

>...the WRT54G with Sveasoft firmware is all you need to become your cul de sac's wireless ISP. Going further, if a bunch of your friends in town had similarly configured WRT54Gs, they could seamlessly work together and put out of business your local telephone company.

like Turbo Pascal?

I'm looking forward to the day when we have fully functioning web browsers that we have full programmatic control over in all aspects.

With luck all chromium/blink-based browsers will go the way of the dodo bird.

I would love to filter for asteroids that have orbits that bring them into within a certain range of a target body like earth.

The remaining half is still folded though, so the resilience angle doesn't really disprove if folding might be important.

speaking of LLMisms "That's the skill"

An unfolded human brain works fine? Still sentient? Still has qualia?

This is the first time I've heard of this promise for 10 years of updates.

That seems quite impressive when compared against the 2-3 years of updates android phones historically got.

I'm a bit confused that the top wisdom teeth are erupted but the bottom ones aren't.. is that toggle-able?

if only it could be used to remove carbon from the atmosphere..

If you fail to read the article you might not realize it's being sarcastic.

>“Our objective is to maintain an indoor air temperature identical to the outdoor temperature while generating an airflow of 1 metre per second to reduce the perceived temperature for passengers.”

so it's not "cooled" at all

> It's a short walk, along a sidewalk separated from the street by 10 feet of grass. Sam would have to cross two streets with crosswalks, which she'd seen him do safely hundreds of times—including six times that morning

How have they had a negative impact? How about google?

don't forget LLMs are great at translating between languages, and within the same language. depending on the problem it works on, it will often reach for terminology that tend to be more common or familiar within that problem set. which appears inscrutable, but there's many different ways to skin a cat. just remind it to translate it back to the terminology and subject matter you're already an expert in.

I tried googling this, not sure what this is a reference to?

in the future, everyone's glasses will have automatic recording of people.

in the future, everyone's automatic recording of people will be fully accessible to all.

in the future, everyone's glasses will also be AR glasses, enabling everyone to view everyone else's POV at any time.

in the future there will be no privacy, because everyone will be able to watch everyone else.
