Tesla's most recent version of FSD (which is released to a limited number of non-employee testers so far) uses only eye tracking for driver monitoring and does not require the user to touch the steering wheel as long as they are looking forward.
For Tesla yes, because it can't be trusted. Allowing you to not touch the wheel while still expecting you to jump in at any time isn't an improvement by any measure.
Any remote watcher can't be expected to avoid a crash in realtime.
Waymo is trusted to behave safely without supervision, but of course they monitor everything to validate and improve.
Slander is a legal term with a specific definition in the US court system. For you to accuse someone in the US of slander against someone else in the US is only logical to interpret as "x person could sue y person for slander". Otherwise why use the legal term?
I'm not sure if they have shared details but I assume this leaves a relatively narrow window over the ship that they need to put a satellite, which would be really cool to see more on logistically.
Like how do you move a satellite or satellites to a certain area, at the right time, avoiding other space objects, and then keep them there for 45 minutes during the mission or at least 15 minutes during the blackout zone. I'm sure it takes a huge amount of planning, math, coordination with various entities....

They have 6000+ satellites in orbit. While it may not be easy, it is probably not a huge challenge to plan for one or more to always be in the field of view for this flight.
Their general conclusion is focused on competitive gaming performance, which while certainly a valuable litmus test (especially for their target audience) does not tell the whole picture.
Optimum has reviewed some higher refresh rate monitors recently and provides some examples of where they can still give an advantage, not necessarily in reaction time but in smoothness and clarity in fast scenes. Here's a good example with a 540Hz display: https://youtu.be/nqa7QVwfu7s
One advantage in the market that is overlooked in this type of "do we need X" challenge is the increased accessibility of things less than X. For example productivity monitors at 120, 144, even 240Hz are more affordable and easier to find, as panel production becomes cheaper and the gaming brands push the marketing numbers up and up. New 480/540Hz monitors cost what a 144Hz monitor cost ten years ago.
> the gaming brands push the marketing numbers up and up.
There is a trend in the opposite direction, where people read books and such on low-fps e-ink displays. It's true that people complain they are expensive and the low fps makes it useless for a lot of tasks, but there is still a market because the "like paper" display is so readable. I think that makes it clear that people have a variety of needs. Your logic is something like trickle-down economics - it is certainly important to continue doing research into displays but this doesn't necessarily translate into cheaper panels. I would say the main reason you can get a cheap $100 monitor now that is the equivalent of a $700 CRT from 30 years ago is economy of scale. The manufacturing process is more automated and streamlined with fewer assembly steps, and there are many competing manufacturers.
That doesn't actually contradict my point? Like the response times on that monitor are pretty good, per 4:17 it is generally 0.3ms to go from gray to black. But if for whatever reason you had to go from black to white the response time is 3.5ms - that is 285hz so your "540hz" monitor is not going to keep up with the signal. Talking about frame rates is sort of like talking about your fuel tank size - sure, there are cases where the extra gallons help, but practically most people care about horsepower. And similarly what actually matters for monitors is response time.
Apparently TCL didn't disclose any specs of the panel, just said "an LCD", so I wonder if the panel is actually new tech. They didn't even allow running screen tests. So it could be they just prototyped the controller and used a standard panel. Then the response times are horrible but nobody can tell because it's running a prerecorded demo that avoids showing the glitchy artifacts.
If it's going to be available via Siri this could make sense.
It does make me wonder how such a relationship could impact progress. Would OpenAI feel limited from advancing in directions that don't align with the partnership? For example if they suddenly release a model better than what's in Siri, making Siri look bad.
I wrote that I have personally observed it. One cannot debunk a factual data point.
Even if one could, the article you linked does not even attempt to do that:
> Hänig found that there was some variation around the tongue in how much stimulus it took for a taste to register. <…> Hänig’s hypothesis generally holds up. Different parts of the tongue do have a lower threshold for perceiving certain tastes, but these differences are rather minute.
Within the category of “coffee”, all differences are minute. The whole point of coffee hipstertude is enhancing individual sensitivity to those minute differences in taste in order to pointlessly argue and express sophisticated preferences about such.
(It took me years of drinking single origin hand drip to just start noticing a difference between light and dark roast, and believe it or not there are people who have much more narrowly defined tastes.)
Interesting point, one could point to Starbucks and other coffee chains as the gateway drug, lowering the barrier to entry for somebody to get "into" coffee while setting a bar considerably higher than burnt diner coffee.
...While still delivering their own flavor of burnt junk, relative to the multitudes of third wave shops that have grown and thrived out of the category that Starbucks created.
So yes, the current version of Starbucks may be ridiculous, but the culture wave it led is a key reason every town or block is able to sustain a passionate small cafe or roastery.
Same guy that made sponsorblock; crowdsourced titles and thumbnails. Tends to have good coverage on anything reasonably popular. Also has features to reduce the clickbaitiness of videos that haven't had someone submit better titles/thumbnails.
It applies categorically. But the category isn't "all people", it's "all people whose wealth was obtained through fair means". Economic parasites - which describes all ultra-wealthy people ipso facto - do not qualify.
No one other than Kant (and really, kant's own delusions about himself) are deontological ethicists. Everyone has exceptions where they think the right thing is context dependent
This is the line where we need to figure out as a society what we want technology to replace or not.
A good barista is already doing this in their head, and also building and maintaining a human relationship with those customers.
Part of the appeal of a good coffee shop to is that it feels like a friendly place to spend time with people you know, and it makes it feel special when you've got that one place where everyone knows who you are and how you like your coffee. Coffee being an important daily ritual for many builds this shared understanding and empathy around the craft - I'm here because you know this specific subset of me intimately and I can get something valuable that isn't just "the screen says your name is X and your drink is Y is that right?"
