Waymo doesn't drive in bad weather. And you talk like it's the humans choice, but life doesn't stop because the weather is bad. People have to go out in bad weather.
If the weather is bad enough, people choose not to go out in it. Unless someone has a gun to your head, you always have a choice.
If Waymo's argument is valid, then humans shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Heh, there's some validity to that. Human drivers are a daily rolling disaster that society tolerates only because there hasn't been any reasonable alternative. If-and-when autonomous vehicles actually become cheap and reliable enough, I suspect that human driving will gradually start to be curtailed -- not necessarily by banning it outright, but by making licensing requirements more restrictive, by making insurance costs more onerous, and/or by "nerfing" the cars such that they simply refuse to perform dangerous maneuvers.
Well, when I saw
an optional zero-data-retention feature for enterprise users
I interpreted it as "deleting everything".
What this country needs is a good two-dollar red-team AI, that will try to create an exploit based on a submitted bug report and use the exploit to compromise a Mac in the QA lab. If it succeeds, the bug report is definitely genuine and should be prioritized.
Do the police have access to those betting patterns?
With any wildfire which was initiated deliberately, I'd want to look at anyone who "predicted" it - and their associates.
Getting the votes to impeach is easy. Getting the votes to convict is de facto impossible.
I agree that has historically been the case, but OTOH Trump is deteriorating so rapidly (both psychologically and in terms of his level of popular support) that after November's bloodbath (and whatever Trump's unhinged response to that will be), the remaining Republicans may well decide it's in their own interest to get him out of office sooner rather than later.
We've reached the "Pope is selling indulgences" phase of the American government's decent into blatant corruption.
Somehow read an 8.5 mile hike that was actually 14 miles
8.5 miles is close to 14km. I can't see how that could have been a factor but the correlation feels too close to be coincidental.
The signs I've seen photographed in Google Maps (I'm several timezones away and am not about to just go there and check) do not say how long you can expect to take, so maybe nobody felt the need to upload a snapshot of one of those signs. Pretty much every such sign in Austria has that information, I find their estimates a bit pessimistic but that is not a bad thing.
18 miles is just under 29km. I'd feel safe in assuming I could do 20km on a well signposted trail with not too much vertical, although I'd need to do some hikes locally in order to build my endurance up in order to make sure beforehand, and I'd want a "get out of here" option if something went wrong. A 17-year-old has the potential to go further than me at my age, but they do not appear to have prepared this at all. I wonder where they were from, locals should have known better so maybe Vancouver.
I'm more a cyclist than a hiker and have come to the conclusion that Google Maps estimates are mostly for cyclists who are stronger / fitter than me (or have e-bikes) unless there's a following wind. Their estimates do make allowances for hills - take one of their estimates and swap the start and end points, there can be a massive difference if their elevations vary by much.
I read it - and found it interesting - when I was around 15, but that is a while ago now.
My initial thought here was "no wonder Trump is a fan" of AI models.
Russia has assassinated former Russian citizens outside of Russia before, it would be unsurprising if they did it again.
I suppose they could do that, but I don't know what it would accomplish. Telegram is already written and functional; murdering Durov wouldn't uninstall it anywhere. I suppose it might intimidate the next guy who is considering writing a secure messaging app, but I don't think Russia is playing that kind of decades-long game anymore. Their main goal now is short-term: figure out how survive the Ukraine debacle without getting strung up by their own citizenry.
It absolutely is a crime to intentionally destroy evidence.
This could have been avoided; instead of erasing the drive, the duress password could have been set to load a "clean" partition with nothing on it that the defendant didn't want the US government to see.
... but Dear Leader will keep us safe from the dangerous and corrupt outside world. Juche!
What about Edward Bulwer-Lytton? An author so inspiring they named awards after him.
There is a bill which has either just been passed or is currently being discussed, it is to criminalise calling Israel's right-to-exist into question. It looks to me to be stupid posturing because the German constitution guarantees free speech.
What you will see quite frequently in Germany is a city banning a political demonstration for some reason or other. The organisers then appeal this ban in a court (it takes maybe a day) and it gets overturned. I can't remember such a ban not being overturned but maybe there were a couple, several years ago. It is stupid posturing with taxpayers' money which only serves to give work to a few lawyers.
