Comment Re:Got enough for bootstrapping (Score 1) 47

Say a self driving car needs to sample each road 10,000 times to learn how to drive it. It may have sampled a major highway 50,000 times but it's not going to learn anything extra so it has run out of training data. Now say there is a little dirt road that a self driving car has only gone down twice. It has run out of training data to be able to drive that particular road. There can be thousands of cars driving around but if they aren't taken away from the places where enough is already known and put into places where they need to know more then training data will have run out.

So what happens. Countries force EVs on us, then it's just too bad if we can't travel around in certain places? Then a new technology may be invented that does not have the same requirements that EVs have, this making all the energy putting chargers everywhere a waste and making EVs worthless. People need the utility of ICEs. Maybe not most people, but many people. Anything with these weaknesses can only be a transition to something else. Be concerned about the value of your purchase and hope that it doesn't transition before you sell.

Treating people equally has its trade-offs. The difference is that everyone *gets* an MRI in Canada. You don't have to keep working for an abusive boss because you have concern for your family. That's an extortion scheme if I have ever heard of one. Also let's not ignore the fact that Canadian Conservatives want an American style system, so are constantly undermining any effort to make the public system any better. It has been proven that the provinces who integrate more private clinics into the system are cheeping out on your care if you cannot pay. Even though the government is funding the procedure, they get to upsell you on the product you got before in the public system. Also, as the private clinics draw health professionals out of the public system, people waiting for other procedures in the system wait longer. Honestly, I would be bankrupt right now due to long term serious illness of a family member. I would have lost my house. The American system is the harshest in the world. because if someone in the family is dying than the whole family suffers.
