Argo is majority owned by ford and also partnered up with VW

Yep, to the extent that I’m surprised Aurora is considering purchasing ATG at this point. I don’t know what they have to gain from such an acquisition - especially considering their head count (and associated cash burn) would triple after the acquisition.

For a work laptop that only serves as an interface to a personal workstation set up in a server room, Macs are so much more enjoyable to use. No worrying about wifi drivers, being able to use the Mac touchpad etc.

Plus a significantly more polished OS, which is the reason I enjoy coding on my Mac.

Any development which the British did was purely to serve their own purposes and improve the efficiency and speed of their looting the country. Why should we be grateful for that? The opportunity cost there for the Indian subcontinent (if not India as a nation) was massive, and the British took it from us.

I’m proud to say I’m not ambivalent about it in the least.

Definitely so. Indian children are always taught about our glorious freedom movement in detail, glorifying leaders like Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. There are sadly still remnants of British culture throughout, like statues or names of streets or buildings, but I don’t think anyone looks at British rule as anything but a dark age where India went from one of the most prosperous nations in the world to.. very much not so.

My personal experience with Youtube recommendations has been really bad for a long time now. The only videos it recommends that I care to watch are from channels I'm already subscribed to, so no big victory there - any content from new creators is very rarely interesting. My (unproven) theory behind this is that since I started using Firefox and Duck Duck Go, the algorithm has been starved of data about my preferences (apparently, only Youtube search and view history is not good enough).

> Why do we need to be constantly logged in to YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, and Twitter?...These apps all work fine anonymously

Instagram most certainly does not work without logging in. I don't have an account, and it only lets you see at max 1 or 2 posts before prompting (and mandating) a login. Also, I don't know how Twitter is useful without being logged in - you're just seeing the "trending", very little of which is statistically likely to be interesting to you.

Whether or not a camera-based solution will work reliably in the future is not the issue at hand here.

The issue is the vast, vast gap between the current capability of Autopilot vs. what it is marketed as, and how this false advertising can literally kill the average consumer.

Thank you for sharing that. Really strongly recommend everyone to watch this video, a rare glimpse at the people inside this nightmare
