I am on your side, and you are being vicious.

Asking you to treat me with respect isn’t tone policing, it’s basic human decency, and I believe you understand that.

If you have an concrete alternative interpretation I’m all ears. Are numerically fewer votes for Trump in 2024 an indication of growing support, and if so, how do you figure that?

Again, we’re aligned, but you’re lashing out at me out of frustration and anger and I expect you to be better.

If you want to engage in an adult discussion we can do that. I’m empathetic to your pain right now, but take a deep breath before you respond consider carefully if you’re in a place to do so as your best self. Doesn’t have to be today if you’re not. Hit me up in a week. A month. A year. I’m here whenever you want a sober sounding board.

I’m not saying that she desereved the votes.

The comment I was responding to said the electorate swung right. I’m saying that’s not what the numbers say.

The numbers say that the Dems didn’t show up to the polls. It’s absolutely the fault of the democratic party leadership: if you can’t convince people to show up, your offering is insufficient.

So, I actually agree with you, and the point I was making was at a seperate point somebody else made.

I know you’re hurting today but get ahold of yourself. Read and think before you rage at strangers on the internet.

Already swung super anti-immigration as of earlier this year, so the move to Canada plan isn’t going to be as easy either

I don’t know if sentiment swung or if Dems just didn’t show up.

Biden had over 80 million votes in '20. Trump had like 74. Trump got less total votes this year than in '20. Only problem was like 15 million Dems didn’t show up.

If there is one thing you can count on from a Democrat “voter”, it’s for them to not actually vote.

This guy is the definition of “if your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail”.

“Leftist Tyranny”.

The levers which incentives wages closing the gap on the “super inflation” are probably more realistic than the levers that would cause the prices of everything to deflate.

Not even the pope

Considering he asked twitter programmers to print out their pull requests Im not even sure he’s not cosplaying a programmer

If a 45 year old not wearing a costume and strung out on Ketamine says trick or treat at my door, they’re getting candy.

What am I, the fucking Halloween police? ACAB.

I completely agree that if there are tools that can allow a vehicle to “see” better than a human it’s absurd not to implement them. Even if musk could make a car exactly as good as a human, that’s a low bar. It isn’t good enough.

As for humans: if you are operating a vehicle such that you could not avoid killing an unexpected person on the road, you are not safely operating the vehicle. In this case, it’s known as “over driving your headlights”, you are driving at a speed that precludes you from reacting appropriately by the time you can perceive an issue.

Imagine if it wasn’t a deer but a chunk of concrete that would kill you if struck at speed. Perhaps a bolder on a mountain pass. A vehicle that has broken down.

Does Musk’s system operate safely? No. The fact that it was a deer is completely irrelevant.

Yeah. I mean, I understand the premise, I just think it’s flawed. Like, you and I as vehicle operators use two cameras when we drive (our two eyes). It’s hypothetically sufficient in terms of raw data input.

Where it falls apart is that we also have brains which have evolved in ways we don’t even understand to consume those inputs effectively.

But most importantly, why aim for parity at all? Why NOT give our cars the tools to “see” better than a human? I want that!

If you watch the video, the deer was standing on a strip of off coloured pavement, and also had about the same length as the dotted line. Not sure how much colour information comes through at night on those cameras.

The point here isn’t actually “should it have stopped for the deer” , it’s “if the system can’t even see the deer, how could it be expected to distinguish between a deer and a child?”

The calculus changes incredibly between a deer and a child.

Not at all if you’re rich, and not temporary even for the rest.

You joke, but he literally did tell people he spoke with “The President of the Virgin Islands”.
