Why would it even need to be "guaranteed"? That is a really stupid standard. If it usually does better, that is quite enough. And it usually does better. Anybody denying that has simply absolutely no clue about the tech.

Same. I did think about skipping COVID late last year, but I noticed my that many of my students were down for 2 weeks or longer and some told me they had a "really bad flu". Probably COVID going round again.

Lies, lies and more lies. And no, 2 days is _far_ too short for a Covid shot to kill. You either die immediately or weeks later if the vaccine is the cause. You need to make up better lies.

Yep. One wonders whether they bomb Iran because they are _envious_ of the regime there ...

I disagree. Critical thinking is not natural for most people. And I doubt it can actually be taught to most people. But we have about 10-15% critical thinkers in the human race and they crop up in the most unlikely places, like people born into a cult, with no outside contact, that manage to find out what is actually going on and leave. That would indicate that for at least some people it is quite natural.

That is a really difficult question. We do not know enough.

Most or all dementia variants qualify, for example. As soon as it is more like kognitive incapability, maliciousness, narcissism, etc. it gets very murky, because Science still has no clue at all how a human mind works and why it is even possible.

Well, COVID does not kill that many people anymore, also because we know how to treat it now. What was true back when is that the COVID deaths (and deaths of others needing intensive care) go through the roof when you run out of intensive care experts and ventilators. And also remember that being on a ventilator for a longer time leaves pretty bad damage, the less the experienced the expert is, the worse the damage. Dying is not the only concern.

Yes, that is far too complex for the MAGA idiots. I guess they are also very surprised or outright deny the measles outbreaks. Or that they apparently still have not managed to find out where the explosive diarrhea comes from. Sack experts, stop tracking and you get far longer times to fis things like that. Apparently also too complicated an idea for these people. I wonder what medical disasters will be next.

I would say that, but many of them have children they inflict anti-vaxxing on. That is more like attempted manslaughter. On the other hand, especially the MAGAs seem to be perfectly fine with child abusers, so maybe that is part of their belief system?

Same. I am usually down for half a day after the classical shot. And the improved effectiveness is also very welcome.
Now they need to start working on the common cold as well. Would not mind at all getting rid of that one.

While COVID was horrible, one of its good effects is that vaccine research got restarted. Vaccines for humans had stagnated far too long.

The human bottleneck will remain. But we need to get away from the "test and fix" amateur approach we currently use. We need to do "secure by construction and design" instead. It just costs money and requires actually qualified engineers. It is known how to do it though.

So? Lidar plus camera fails a lot less than camera alone. I have no idea why you event try to do FUD here.

Observable evidence from about 40 years of research into this say he is exactly right and that the additional sensors make a huge difference. Your entirely invalid claim is that computer vision can be as good as human vision. No idea where you take that from, but it cannot be actual research, because actual reality is that nobody knows.

There are tons of things computers can do that humans could do first. But what we basically always find is that there is a way to do it without insight, often by brute-forcing things and mixing that with some algorithms (that have no clue what they are doing).

Hence basically most cases where computers replicate human skill, we are pretty sure they do it differently.

You mistake what "safety" means. It just means accident rated below an acceptable threshold. It does not mean perfection at all.
