> Highway driving is a bit different from complex city conditions

Fair and valid, but worth noting that these drives are door-to-door, not just advanced highway cruise control.

Any idea where one might find a trusted source for data on the robotaxi performance? Especially curious about the latest self-driving models, rather than historical performance.

We can debate the meaning of “truly autonomous”, but the Tesla-owning friends and acquaintances of mine have all, without any uncertainty, recently commented to me that the top-tier self-driving plan in the modern Teslas is just that.

One frequently uses it to drive from his house in LA to San Jose, another from Philly to Boston, another from Kamloops to Vancouver (Canada). I personally have never experienced it, but I trust their word and experiences enough to believe that it is at an extremely high level of capability.

Would you mind sharing your hardware setup and use case(s)?

My partner downloaded the app and registered last weekend. She already has full peninsula access, but still non-freeway roads.

I suppose if you’re operating on the assumption that tech stocks are vastly overinflated then this makes sense. Otherwise I would expect the people that are regularly buying these securities would be happy that they’re increasing in value, no?

Can I ask why you would be looking forward to the stock market crashing? Vindication?

The news article you’ve linked seems to suggest that these scam offset companies may soon be losing their ability to sell their credits.

Carbon offset startups are booming right now, not all of them will succeed, but there are viable technologies already being scaled up. For example, Heirloom Carbon has just made front page news today with a 200 million dollar deal they signed with Microsoft.

All this is to say, I agree that there are some bad actors in the space, and it’s great that they’re being called out for it. To suggest they’re all scams is an unfair, and largely inaccurate statement.

Is that not the point of carbon offsets, at least in principle. If you emit X and sequester Y then it would be correct to consider your net emissions to be X - Y.

Employee commute method & distance would be an interesting datapoint to factor in.

Attempting to summarize:

* In terms of cooking stability - saturated fats > monounsaturated fatty acids > polyunsaturated fatty acids. * The less stable the cooking oil, the more damage (oxidation?) occurs while cooking, the more inflammation they cause * Seed oils are generally to be avoided, especially ones that advertise a high smoke point. This is due to a highly industrialized refinement process that damages the oils (see previous point) * High smoke point avocado oil is included in the above category (avoid) * Extra virgin avocado oil is good (but don’t cook with it) * saturated fats are healthy * high carbohydrate intake is bad for your arteries

He recommends the following for cooking: * ghee * butter * coconut oil * olive oil

I’ll second this. It really shines when learning new technologies in a field in which you already have some expertise. Being able to apply the smell test, or quickly validate the output is important.

I haven’t tested this, but I would imagine the type of information you’re requesting dictates the quality of response you’ll get. In my case I use it mainly as interactive documentation for different tooling. Asking it to explain the process for synthesizing new hypothetical polymers likely will not yield useful results.

It’s worth noting that my experiences are with GPT 4.

“Crypto” is a technology that is functional and has proven utility. Those using it as a tool to skirt regulations, defraud others, or to commit outright theft are the scammers. I would agree that as a concept it is generally overhyped, usually by those who seek to profit from doing so. But I think it’s important to not conflate the unscrupulous gold miners looking to get rich quick with the utility of the precious metal itself.

“2. There are political motivations for controlling the narrative around evolution and the birth of civilization”

Could elaborate on this?
