Practically speaking, any person could starve themself (short of death) and lose weight. In almost all cases there is no magic to storing more energy than you need.
I think it'd be more accurate to say that informing people that they should change their behavior doesn't work. A person changing their behavior can escape obesity. The reality is that most people won't be able to change their behavior without some other kind of assistance.
We shouldn't want them to have self awareness, we shouldn't be seeking to make self-aware actual slaves. We want machines with perception and knowledge, and that are capable of reasoning. But nothing capable of self-determination.
I do some work in laboratory automation and it was quick to refuse the first thing I asked it to do. There wasn't anything spicy in the request, just basic liquid-handling protocol implementation. Their position seems to be that they're too stupid to classify requests safely, and that seems reasonable to me. I'd guess the classifier will improve rapidly.
A post to the Truth Social account for Donald Trump included: "The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!"
That's the closest thing I'm finding. Not seeing reporting that he literally said "war is peace".
Tesla does collect LIDAR data (people have seen them doing it, it's just not on all of the cars) and they do generate depth maps from sensor data, but from the examples I've seen it is much lower resolution than these Waymo examples.
The answer is not in the article. The question is: why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car? How are rented or company cars even relevant, since that's a different company between Tesla and the driver that would have the information about the driver? It seems like a weird quirk that there's not a registration process closer that leads somewhere closer to the actual driver. Is it a privacy issue? Is it just because enforcement is easier against a larger company?
Seems like some kind of weird quirk that the government doesn't already have this information readily available. Why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car?
Also, with the way these kinds of things have gone in the past:
- It's not certain that you'll ever be able to buy it.
- If you can buy it, it'll probably be closer to $40k than $25k with no add-ons.
- It's not certain that you'll ever actually be able to buy it with no add-ons.
- Orders that include all of the most expensive add-ons will be heavily prioritized, so even if you can order it without add-ons, the queue could be months or years long.
- The ones that you can actually get in a reasonable amount of time will be closer to $50k than $25k.
I don't think it's a huge stretch to consider supporting circumcision of children as being a call to violence against children, though. Just because it's being done for religious reasons and it has been done by a large population for a long time really doesn't change what it is: involuntary body modification of children.
Hang on, my understanding of the situation is that only PEs are allowed to sign off on the design of a thing. They don't have to design it, and they almost certainly don't build it. Am I wrong?
Adaptive headlights have only been approved for use in the US for ~3 years. They were sold in cars in the US before that, but the adaptive function was disabled.
A version that is just plainly nerdy (and more comfortable) might not be a bad idea; maybe call it the developer version or something to avoid any association with fashion or luxury.
I second this and would add that you really need an automated way to do it. For coding, automated test suites go a long way toward catching boneheaded edits. It will understand the error messages from the failed tests and fix the mistakes more or less by itself.
But for other tasks like generating reports, I ask it to write little tools to reformat data with a schema definition, perform calculations, or do other things that are fairly easy to then double-check with tests that produce errors that it can work with. Having it "do math in its head" is just begging for disaster. But, it can easily write a tool to do it correctly.
Informing people that they can avoid pregnancy and STDs if they’d just stop fucking each other doesn’t work at scale either.
