  • I think you’re both right. What’s really important is the lives at stake, and only the software can really meaningfully improve, but the incentives aren’t there right now to make those improvements happen.

    One thing to consider though, is the incentives can always be tweaked. Maybe the robo taxi company barely blinks at a $100,000 fine, they chuckle about a $1 million fine, do they still laugh about a $50 million fine? They may really start to sweat over a $200 million fine. And hey, I can think of larger numbers, we can always provide them a better incentive (while financing the state).




  • Do you know how to rebuild your car’s engine?

    Do you know how to remediate black mold spreading on the walls of a houseboat?

    Do you know how to compile Linux to run on some custom arm hardware?

    Do you know how to repair or rebuild a crumbling stone retaining wall?

    There’s a good chance you may not know how to accomplish all of those tasks. There’s also a very good chance you may not care about knowing how to accomplish all of those tasks, as some of them may not be relevant to you. This is ok.

    Finally, I know you’re posting on the Internet, but you don’t have to be an asshole, that’s a choice.












  • Ok, so let’s say you’re making dinner and you want to watch something at the same time. Perhaps you’re chopping vegetables on the counter. Do you really want to be looking at the front of the fridge while you do that? If the fridge is against the same wall as the counter you need to crane your head back to see anything, and if it’s on a different wall you need to turn your head a totally different direction. Why not use one of those tablet cases with a kick stand and then put the tablet right in front of you, on the counter? Like right in front of the the cutting board you’re using.

    I don’t know, I think if you do anything other than putting it right in front of you, you’re gonna and up losing some fingers instead of chopping veggies.
