- SR2ZI guess this is an old engine, but it's bizarre to me that fuel efficiency could be a factor for something this slow and light.
- Seniors are almost all on Medicare and have obesity-related health issues more frequently than young people.
- You're delusional if you think this is an apolitical take.
- This is a factual discussion of the president sending undesirables to a concentration camp in a foreign country. It's certainly not hysterical.
If this is emotional slop to you and you feel the need to complain about it, maybe you SHOULD be on r/Conservative or Xitter where you will find lots of likeminded people saying that this stuff is no big deal. Ironic.

This seems like a great way for the monied interests from WITHIN the party to just take full control.
> Go with either the FDR route (94% tax rate)
The reason why this worked is because FDR oversaw the US during a period of incredible change and after the Great Depression. It's not like the tax rate was responsible for his successes.
- Poorly, though, and with lots of edge cases and foot guns to make you miserable once your code calls out to numpy or gets some JSON.
- > many prisoners receive a bill for their incarceration and will come out of prison with debt, even if they're working while in prison.
This is true. I 100% agree with you that this is awful and should not be allowed.
> the largest maximum security prison in the united states is a slave plantation, operated continuously since the 1830s. they still farm cotton.
Fair, but only 12% of prisoners are even maximum security to begin with, and you don't end up there for slinging a little bit of pot.
On that note, I also think we send far too many people to jail and should rewrite the laws to fix that.
- Seeing as how literally nobody died, I'm not sure if I agree with your sentiment.
I was curious if Waymo has even been involved with a crash that killed someone, so I looked it up. The answer is yes - there was a Tesla going 98mph in SoMa whose driver died after hitting a Waymo. Clearly we should shut down Waymo until they can handle that situation!
- Unless a few Waymos have gridlocked traffic, I'm not sure you can still blame them for this.
- > We’re lucky it’s not a disaster.
I'm sure that if this was something predictable like a cyclone or wildfire, Waymo would still have 100% of their nightly traffic on the road, right? And SFFD would not be able to do what they normally do when they can't get support, which is hop into the car and use the controls to manually move it?
Or... maybe Waymo HAS considered what their cars should do in abnormal circumstances and this kind of outcome was considered acceptable for the number of cars and the nature of the "disaster"?
- In this country, if heart disease or cancer doesn't kill you, a car probably did.
Until "Waymos lessons" are killing people at that rate, I am 100% OK with a Waymo making my trips an extra 5 minutes longer every 50th trip or whatever else the real stat is.
I was curious if Waymo has even been involved with a crash that killed someone, so I looked it up. The answer is yes - there was a Tesla going 98mph in SoMa whose driver died after hitting a Waymo. Clearly the Waymo's fault!
- Citation needed for that.
Waymo uses both LIDAR and RADAR to collect precise data on distance and speed. If it's foggy (commonly the case in SF) those two let the service continue with no interruptions.
A Tesla in those conditions would hopefully refuse to drive itself, but for some reason I think it would just drive badly and pretend that it was doing something safe.
- For Tesla!?
It's because Musk is a combination of stubborn and cheap. That's it - he wants to collect FSD subscriptions or that $10k purchase price without spending any extra money.
Perhaps he can figure it out. It won't be in the next few years.
- > It sounds like it isn't optional everywhere, the pay is beyond inhuman, they don't always get any benefits at all, no training, don't safety and are overworked.
Most of these are true, but I would push back on the pay angle. If a person is in jail, they are a ward of the state and have no expenses at all. There is no sense in paying them a "living wage" because they don't have to live off it. In any case, most stereotypical prison jobs would not cover the cost of incarcerating the employee.
A common way this works these days in more progressive states is that prisoners who can hold down a remote job are allowed to keep their income, minus paying a tithe for their incarceration:

> Overall, sounds like a nice idea on paper, but combine it with private companies actually running these prisons and probably making profits on having more f̵o̵r̵c̵e̵d̵ labour available to them and you basically re-invented slavery again, just with a nicer name.
Only about 10% of prisoners are in private prisons. The vast majority of them are in some kind of government prison. The US definitely puts too many people in prison, but that's for cultural reasons and not because of some nefarious plan to get cheap labor.
- So why then is Bhutan so happy?
- This is a crazy take. Google has lots of money to hire lawyers, but that also means that Google has lots of money to pay out settlements. It's worth it to sue them because they have something to take.
Getting richer has never made someone LESS likely to be assured.
- CAD is great at parametric design, which gets significantly more complicated when the viewport changes shape.
Taking a procedural approach instead of solving constraints is necessary for folks to stay sane when they're trying to get the same website to work on phones and desktops.

Why not just have a simple, low-poly rasterizer and have AI fill in the details?
That's essentially the way that AMD FX and NVIDIA DLSS work today, although they do take fully rendered frames as input.
