Luggage tipp: Have exactly one, easy to grab main piece at luggage that goes on your back or on wheels. Have at most one tiny extra piece to carry. The second your luggage exceeds three it becomes a massive hassle: You cannot hold on to things, you will lose one piece and your fun trip descends into a disorganized mess.
Luggage which clips together like a storage/day backpack combo is very valuable for this: Your backpack might be comically large, but you can haul all your stuff with free hands. At your accomodation, you can leave the large bag and continue on your day pack.
Free hands are critical when travelling by train or bus, or if you just wanna get a snack and drink.
In these systems you pick what you see and don't rely on a third party algorithm for that. If one instance allows the publications of things others disagree with defederation is an option.
Under no circumstances should we let AI filter the fediverse. Freedom is worth more than mild offense.
Hä?! A clock shows the period of time we are currently in. A clock only showing hours would for example indicate that we are in the 14th hour of the day, for the entire duration of that hour. That is not an error. Similarly, a hh:mm clock will show the hour and minute we are currently in for the duration of that minute.
No clock can display the exact current moment of time. That would require infinite digits, and even then those will be late, since lightspeed will ensure you recieve the femtoseconds and below really late.
Why do you focus on the vaccine and not the novel, highly virulent virus which has killed tens of millions and disabled hundreds of millions? What makes it more likel for you that the vaccine causes this and not the virus?
Fudnamentally the genes have to code for a biologicaly system that is able to adapt its behaviour well enough to allow for dynamic behaviour while also keeping it on guiderails to make it function as a bee. Importantly a bee emerging from its brood cell immediately gets to work without any training. Where does this information come from if it is not genetic?
If it's bad and we don't avoid it = potential disaster
If it's no problem and we avoid it = Some unnecessary losses
If it's no problem and we avoid it = No problem
Currently, considering past patterns, it looks like PFAS are problematic and the potential cost of failing to mitigate could be very high. So being more cautious is the rational solution, even in the face of uncertainty.
The problem is PFAS are in basically all the water on the planet and persist in the body for several years. Even if they might have a small effect that will likely be magnified due to accumulation and the long persistence. We have had very similar scenarios before (lead, asbestos,... ) and they had horrible consequences. This is the time to get ahead of this cycle.
The underlying problem is that the current FSD architecture doesn't seem to have good guard rails for these outlier situations you describe (sunlight blinding the camera from just the right angle probably?) and it is probably not possible to add such rules without limiting the system enormously.
Fundamentally driving consists of a set of fairly clear cut rules with a ridiculous amount of "it depends" cases.
> Following that train of thought back one can go all the way to the Roman Empire which used slaves as proto machines as you call them.
All the way to the deepest depth of history actually: Sumer and Elam left behind records of slavery and later on in Ur we find laws seting up a framework for slavery.
> say a reliance on unsecured charging stations makes officers vulnerable when it comes to transporting suspects long distances; and note that in a firefight, police are taught to hide behind a car’s engine block
I am a diehard EV proponent, but it's important to admit that there are places where EVs are not the right solution. Especially in vehicles which take part in emergency response, the high energy density of fossil fuels is absolutely a benefit.
Hm, they have to fit them into Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, or Peace. I guess physics is the closest they can get without a gross missplacement? (Although you might be able to absue literature for LLMs?)
Do we have any economic models which managed to predict any non-obvious, relevant things?
