Can we instead have self driving buses?

I'm envisioning a system where you tell it your location and where you want to go, then it automatically sets up a route for the bus that coincides with where most people want to go and tells you to get off when it's near your destination. This can work in conjunction with self driving taxis if no one else is going to your destination.

If they get an eyeful of hairy ass, that's their problem for looking in the first place.

Are you asking why it's "Comment t'appelles-tu?" rather than "Comment appelles-tu?"

Reddit front page was also a bunch of old Reddit threads/memes getting reposted. Feels just like home.

Could it be that it's being held back by people who benefit from the conspiracy theory existing?

It is randomly generated. It just won't be uniformly random unless they hard code that into the model.

Object recognition is good enough for this kind of task now IMO. The problem is with controlling physical hardware, which is a problem typically handled by reinforcement learning. This is a difficult problem for current techniques mainly because of its sequential nature (i.e. what you need to do now depends on the state you're in, which depends on what you did a second ago). Being sequential means you can't easily take advantage of GPUs for parallelizing a huge amount of work like you can for image generation where you produce the entire thing at once.

Don't you know? Name calling is the foundation of all good arguments. Don't even think about ad hominems until you get that part down.

"Acting" implies you're pretending. Actually be curious. Ask questions to understand the other party's position. Maybe you'll get to learn more about what life is like in this other person's shoes. Maybe you'll find that there's actually no way that this person can verify that what you're arguing is true and the only way there is to trust someone who has repeatedly broken their trust. Maybe you'll actually learn that you're the one who's wrong.

My understanding of "cheating" when it comes to cooking is that you're becoming reliant on something that might be/become difficult to get ahold of. Pure salt is ubiquitous in western cuisine, so most would feel comfortable relying on it. That's not the case with MSG.

Same for me. I've known about Docker for many years now but never understood why I would want to use it when I can just as easily install things directly and just never touch them. Then I ran into dependency problems where two pieces of software required different versions of the same library. Docker just made this problem completely trivial.

I just played through the first Fallout game earlier this year. I guess that puts me on a 25 year lag. I've been playing a bit of Atari 2600 games too, but that's more for work related reasons than for entertainment.
