Snow, rain, fog, changes in roads, construction, flooding.

Humans fuck those up also. It's just that traffic fortunately tends to be light during bad weather so that our screwups have limited impact. During the last heavy rain I drove in at night I probably made 10+ traffic violations because I couldn't see the damned lines. Fortunately there weren't a lot of other cars around to be co-confused with: the wise stayed home.

And if there is traffic in bad weather, such as work commutes, one just typically follows the person in front of them. If they by chance drove off a cliff I'd probably follow them down. So we have rules-of-thumb that mostly save us, but are highly imperfect.

Comment Double standard for bots (Score 1) 29

I believe the goal has to be "better than humans" because humans seem to have a double standard for bots per screwups. Bots F-ing up spread like wildfire on social media.

Maybe we are collectively bigoted against automation, but being bots probably won't lobby to correct that or fight for their (alleged) rights, that's probably the way it will stay (at least until true sentience). Thus, I agree with the premise the driving system must be better than a human driver to be accepted.

So far the evidence seems to indicate that they're still using as many high-level NVidia chips as they can get.
And what would be the evidence for that?
NVIDA disclosing how much they export to China? I do not think so.

Seems you are French? One of my best friends used to be on earthlink.net - left unfortunately as they could not tackle the spam problem.

So, you are stupid.
Someone points out you are stupid.
Instead of being thankful, you call him a dick.

Okay, next time, you say something stupid, I do not point out to you that you are stupid.
Up to you to figure it out your self, hopefully I remember your name.

as though that were anything like the primary argument you were making.
You did not make an argument. So, why would I not stick to my arguments?

Fact is: your mind learns with mind tricks.
The simplest trick is to imagine the picture of the word or idea you want to write.
And then: write it.
Typing is not writing.

The fastest typists type about 150 characters per minute. (I did not check what current world record is).
And, ask them 30 seconds later what they did type: they know nothing about it.

The human mind works best by:
- thinking (what is the part I might forget and have to make a trick about to memorize it better?)
- finding a solution
- hand writing it, as it means: replay the solution into words and thoughts and finally "painting" the words/letters
- it strengthens the neuronal wiring of your brain about: the concept, the meaning, muscle memory to write it

If you think, I am a dick, because I point out you are an uneducated illiterate stupid moron, then that is your problem.

I guess all your school teachers and teachtresses where dicks, too.

Poor teachtresses.

It is kind of irritating that, English speaking Christians call it "good fearing".

How many mistranslations from one language to the other and misinterpretations of original meaning do you need to end up with "good fearing" ... ?

And how plausible/compatible is the fundamental teaching of Jesus or Mohamed, that any human would be part of a religion where he "has to fear god"?

So, god is the same as Satan or Iblis or Shaitan?

You have to fear both of them?

Religion is never a good reason for anything,
Depends on the religion.
And depends on the reason.

There is nothing wrong to go to any farking temple, for any farking religion, for any farking reason: and pray.
Or meditate.

Sure, praying that your spouse not only survives the war, but kills a gazilion of enemies: might be wrong.

Because praying for the kills "feels" wrong.

I am not a religious person. But I go to temples. Because of the art work and an underrated English word: tranquility.

No idea what your point is: if you have two X chromosomes, as in XX, you are a woman.
If you have a XY chromosomes but lost your penis by an accident, and for some odd reason take the wrong hormones and grow boobs: you are a man.

Males have an unfair advantage in women competitions: because they never loose the power and speed bonus they are born with.

So, if you do the sport for fun, no one would care if a fake woman is in a women's competition. But if it is a martial art and a fake woman hammers a real woman to pulp, and even wins a money price: it is a concern.

Perhaps not for you. But for people who care.
