I hate to break it to you, but you are currently still responsible for killing somebody while driving a car on cruise control, especially if you act recklessly. EDIT: to be less snarky, there are obvious exceptions if a…
Presumably because it's cheaper. Ours was also originally in home; the utility recently came through and replaced all of ours with exterior units, likely at great cost (horizontal drilling machines aren't cheap) I…
Yeah that checks out too. I'm basically regurgitating what I was told when working the electronics aisles at a hardware store. After reading the wiki page more thoroughly, there were just a bunch of different issues.…
It is indeed the conductor of choice at utility scale. It was even briefly used in place of copper wire in construction [1], though that usage was halted when safety issues emerged (differential expansion when mated…

There are plenty of other more recent examples in this thread. I was simply replying to the original statement that China doesn't kill protesters in the street. The notion is so risible that in hindsight it may well…
This is an especially hilarious comment given what happened in June 1989 [1]. It's the prototypical example of authoritarian crackdowns and mass slaughter of innocent protestors. Discussion or even mention of it is…

The most critical skill in the coming era, assuming that AI follows its current trajectory and there are no research breakthroughs for e.g. continual learning is going to be delegation. The art of knowing what work to…

Not really, no. The founders were not omniscient, but many of them publicly wrote about the problematic rise of political "factions" contrary to the general interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_No._10

The grid actually already has a fair number of (non-software) circular dependencies. This is why they have black start [1] procedures and run drills of those procedures. Or should, at least; there have been high profile…
Sure. Create a diamond polygon and revolve it around a point. Blender has methods and tools to _approximate_ doing this. It has a revolve tool... where the key parameter is the number of steps. This is not a revolution,…

What if the obstacle is not a person? What if something falls off a truck in front of the vehicle? What if wildlife spontaneously decides to cross the road (a common occurrence where I live)? I don't think these…
This is an interesting question where I do not know the answer. I will not pretend to be an expert. I would suggest that "human understanding convenience" is pretty important in safety domains. The famous Brian…

The advice I've seen with delegation is the exact opposite. Specifically: you can't delegate what you can't do. Partially because of all else fails, you'll need to step in and do the thing. Partially because if you…
