Are the human mathematicians who wanted to solve this problem just too stupid to brute force for 80 minutes?

Waymo has cars that drive themselves and are dramatically safer than people in most conditions and yet they're only in select cities.

Do you just think Google hates money, or does this only work for hover cars


> Waymo has cars that drive themselves

With the help of “remote assistance”, that is. Which is probably one of the reasons for the limited rollout.


Perhaps you could clarify your definition of "remote assistance", or describe scenarios.


It’s been widely reported, and there were US Senate hearings about it. See e.g.: https://philkoopman.substack.com/p/waymo-tap-dances-about-re...


I don't know the costs and logistics of such an operation. Maybe you do?


I have the sudden urge to frame some wallpaper.


Secretary of War thank you, no dead naming glorious leaders very fine people


Can we just call him "Secretary of Death Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand"?


The irony in your comment is astounding.


Thanks for your comment. I will try to follow your example in the future.


The department of education for one.

It's been crippled essentially without anything being passed by Congress


Every statutory requirement is still being fulfilled. There’s a lot of talk, but we still have a Dept of Education, even if it’s reduced in staffing 50%


It's mandated by law how tariffs may be levied and how states may police themselves and how they may independently conduct their elections.

If you think law will stop this administration then you're not paying enough attention.


The law has stopped this administration on things from offshore wind farms to tariffs.

Maybe not fast enough, but it happens routinely.

The issue is that SCOTUS decides to use administration to reinterpret precedent.


The issue isn't that they can't be stopped, it's that they don't fear that they will be.

If you or I knowingly and flagrantly break the law, our understanding isn't that we'll be stopped and nothing else, it's that there will be punishment, that justice will be done.

How are we at a point now where we all know the administration is breaking the law. That they know they are breaking the law. That they can be stopped months or years later, but there is no justice. Not even the hint or thought of justice.

These people should fear the consequences of their actions, but at the moment there are none.


We're likely to see Ukraine some of their own domestic anti drone capability for Gulf State Patriots.

Gulf States trading dollar for dollar with Ukraine on Patriots and anti drone capability is likely to leave both parties very happy.


How reachable are the agents with this exposure?

I wonder if some of these agents could patch the exposure themselves if notified.


Why get yourself twisted like this?

They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.

Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.

If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.
