If 80%+ of rides is 2 people or less, I dont think it make sense to necessarily make a purpose built vehicle when you already make a vehicle you sell to consumers that can fill the small gap? (Edit and I dont mean use their cars, but their own internal fleet like they use today)

Thats a lot of capital expenditures for a small slice of the rides, of which you wont even be the only company serving.

They are also working on a purpose built small bus type vehicle, but that wont be a hail for 3 people kinda thing, itll be for routes that people get on/off of.

My bet is theyll make another vehicle they can sell to consumers for personal non taxi use, but will also be cheaper and work for the up to 4 or 5 people taxi rides. So not quite purpose built, but with some intentions towards it.

Its not a shiny in your face thing so people dont care, but its something amazing that happened under him.

They also got their first modem, the C series, as well which is quite an achievement. Already got 2 iterations and a 3rd coming out in 2027.

(Not in OP city) There’s a lot of homeless people here and they like to sleep in entranceways and similar things, so you’ll often see gates etc that get closed in front. One business had a open area beside it that homeless people were sleeping in, so they installed rounded spikes on the ground to make the area unusable. Caused a quite a bit of drama with the city.

Thats wild. The last part about using the savings for their cache, did they mean the CDN type stuff or was that something related to the 1.1.1.1 stuff?

Either way their plans to use the new excess for the cache will further make things faster for everyone.

They also sell access to use the models on hardware.

people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again

I never stopped

Thats definitely a fair take.

Do you think people would have enjoyed the TV show as much though with all the cast changes that would have been required?

I haven’t read the books, but my understanding is that was why, so they could have recurring characters and some continuity.

Edit: and once you do that… well all sorts of shit changes.

The anti ai crowed is so rabid even that would cause immense backlash.

We promise to access the brains from behind so your face still looks great!

In the future when we’ve boarded up all our windows, a quadcopter with a gun isn’t walking up my stairs, kicking down my door and then murdering everyone in the house as it does a sweep.

It’d be interesting to see something built ontop of things like IPLD or IPFS (which uses IPLD)

Speed isn’t really a important factor for something like this.

And with the pressure they use it can be uncomfortable or somewhat painful in the moment. Its not arousing. But it works wonders.

They claim they’ll do it now, but its because of all the backlash they’ve been getting.

Also, what they claim theyll do and the quality of it, will probably be different than if it was legislated.

Just because something is logged, doesnt mean its monitored like that.

Even without monitoring though when something does trigger someone to look, you now have a record.

They absolutely should have been monitoring for things like this though.

At least for respiratory vaccines, nasal inhalation might be a future way of reducing pokes. I think I saw early research saying its more effective as its where the problem is, but that getting both might be better than one or the other still.

I guess they weren’t happy with Amazon claiming the largest polluting datacenter with its 7.65GW plans, and went for a 9.2GW natural gas plan. Who’s gonna go for 15?

Waymos got 220 million miles and 0 deaths so far. They’d be close to 3 by now going by human averages. I dont know far they’ll make it, but you know whenever it does happen, there will be a huge uproar.

I was just looking into this a bit more, “managed to get out appropriately” is potentially actually going through the bollard after it fucked up.

It broke the law going in there, but reversing through the intersection (crosswalk) to get out is also against the law in Austin and many many places.

I know a lot of people do it (and I think I’ve seen a Tesla do it before too) but if you’re stopped at an intersection and you fuck up and are slightly in the crosswalk, you’re in most places, not allowed to back up. If you back up, you could actually be cited for 2 infractions, one blocking the intersection, and then another for the backing up. (edit: and in this case, it’s just a matter of property damage if they go over it, and they’re plastic because they know people will hit them, which is also sad)

I really doubt the car was smart of enough to realize I’m not allowed to reverse, and i could safely drive over this though. I think something else in its decision making process happened with failures all over the place.

I can’t wait to see what the NHSTA report on this one says, hopefully there’s some meaningful info in it.

Maybe we’ll even hear it called home for help and a person drove it over? There was one report where a support person remotely drove it into a chain at slow speed.

Im not saying it should, and in this case and have clearly said what it did was wrong.

Im just trying to reason out how or why something like that may have happened, and at first bad map data seemed like it could be part of it wtf went wrong. (edit: even OP said they looked into it, implying they thought that might be a factor too!)

Road says go right. Oh shit its tight but I can make it. Im fucked. YOLO!!!

And yes, it shouldn’t have ignored the bicycle signage or the white line.

Have you never driven around a construction local traffic road only sign that gets placed in the middle of the road or blocking a lane? AVs need to be able to do weird things like this, but in the correct situations, which this was not.
