And the evidential basis for the truth of this claim is...

hmm...

wait a second...

That sounds awfully like a completely unverifiable conjecture with literally no possible way to be based on observable fact, but conveniently explains away that you're totally wrong when presented with things that are observable facts.

Weird. I'm sure glad our entire political discourse isn't constantly centered around those kinds of claims, it'd be really tiring.

I've never seen one run a red light, but I know someone who was hospitalised when it happened to them. This stuff happens all the time. Pretending that humans don't is the same side of silly bias you apply to villainising Waymo.

Yeah Waymos aren't perfect, but what they are is programmatically consistent. It's like people who don't know the law about not doing U-turns at a red light (illegal in my city but you see people do it all the time out of ignorance).

There's a difference between a mistake and ignorance of the rules. Waymo falls under the latter. The difference is when this is addressed it will be done across the fleet, while a human you fix on a case by case basis.

We have that. The very company you vilify has a far better track record than a human driver. Maybe not for breaking some rule, but definitely for actual incidents. Note that as yet a Waymo has never hit a school kid, or person, it did hit a dog and cat at one point though.

No that is false, all incidents involving self driving vehicles need to be reported. What we're talking their word for is that they aren't breaking minor road rules that lead to no outcome.

Precisely zero people have claimed that self-driving cars are incapable of making mistakes. Their power and benefit is in their ability fix fleet-wide problems that can't be addressed even individually with humans. Anyone who has ever claimed these cars would be perfect (especially in their infancy right now) is delusional.

Maybe your post will be relevant in 2035, but not now.

I'd say the safest place to cross would be from a place you're clearly visible, but you do you, rely on that sign that is only there for a brief second specifically for only a tiny subset of humanity.

The fact you consider this as "safe" is the problem with society. You've excepted a horrible band-aid for a dangerous situation covering a small minority rather than addressing the underlying cause: your road design is shit and dangerous that you yourself acknowledge you don't want kids to use. Why would you make excuses for this shit?

What do school busses have to do with anything? Leave them out of the equation. The people who designate street crossings need to do their fucking job. That is all.

Put up, shut up and work around it has never in the history of mankind lead to an ideal and efficient outcome. My point was YOU SHOULDN"T HAVE TO, and your acceptance of this is a major part of the problem with American society.

My experience with 40 Series and 50 Series NVENC is that the AV1 hardware encoder massively out performs their HEVC encoder in terms of speed.

Or download movies. Netflix is completely enshitified on PC.

Have you tried a Chromecast? I mean not the "aging" one you have but the current HD model.

Errr no. AV1 hardware support has been standard in Android phones for 6 years, similar for iPhone. So virtually every mobile device has native hardware AV1 decoding. It has been standard as a hardware decoder for all AMD GPUs and CPUs for 6 years, NVIDIA for 5 years, Intel for 5 years, and video hardware specifically for 6 years as well.

*Most* devices support AV1 hardware decoding. Some older one support software only. At this point the world+dog has no issue with AV1. Your post belongs back in 2022.

If someone is shouting "hey google" through your window in a way that Google hears them it's not a fair point, you've simply left your window open and they wouldn't need to open the garage in the first place.

And what is the alternative? How do you tell the average person how to traverse his IPv4 network behind NAT, possibly behind CG-NAT? Like it or not the cloud is a necessity for anything that extends beyond a few meters from your home.

Why? Well I direct you to us. We are the fucking problem. Just look up any Slashdot story about IPv6 and see the tech heads bitch and moan about the potential change. It may even be you yourself, if so go tell yourself fuck-you in the mirror for breaking the end-to-end connectivity concept pushing us ever more towards the cloud.

My grandfather had a TV which required you to get up to change the channel or volume. I asked him one day why he doesn't have a TV remote and he chewed my head off. Yes you're completely crazy. Not in general, but in the temporal case that is 2025 western civilisation, you are in fact crazy.

No I was not unwilling to acknowledge it. You just can't read. I did acknowledge it. The fact is the M1 was a fantastic product and you seem to be unwilling to acknowledge that software emulation is actually insanely fucking fast.

Precisely zero people here are talking about mobile gaming. Gaming is not something you do while taking a shit. Come back on topic.

I will admit to this one. It is No True Scotsman. And go fuck anyone with a rake who equates playing on your fucking phone to the gaming industry. Hint: The industry itself separates these two for a reason.

Plenty have. But none large enough to be newsworthy. That's a bitter irony, once you hit enough zeros greed dominates the equation and merges cease being about efficiency and start being about limiting competition.

And the outcome will be precisely fuck all. Antitrust laws in America governing American corporations have no teeth what so ever. The DoJ barely investigates them and when they do they loose on technicalities.

The investigations are just a cost of doing business at this point.
