New comment by favourable in "Tell HN: Biggest self-driving challenge is not technology"

> Until we have the same rigor in self-driving

I think automated robotic self-driving will always need a human-in-the-loop as ironic as that sounds, but for 99.9% of an automated journey, the extra 0.1% needs to be offloaded to humans, for rare edge-cases where the self-driving vehicle has no training data for. For example, random events like road maintenance, wild animals crossing the road, natural events like snow storms, etc.

The people working on this 0.1% metric want to further reduce this percentage and get all the automation to 100%, but you will need humans at some stage. Nature is too random and chaotic for it all to be modeled in a computer system.

I found using Virtualbox has a performance penalty when loading sites in a VM. It seems VM browsers just aren't as snappy as bare-metal versions. If you can live with that, then fine, but I prefer to do development on a bare-metal install.

> that paying money to play might be just a re-invention of the 80's coin-operated arcades

I agree. Game companies don't create games for free, and if they do, then they're siphoning off personal data and selling it to the highest bidder to support themselves. The business model should be clear: if you're getting a game for free, developers need to state how they make money for transparency purposes.

New comment by favourable in "FDA says marijuana has a legitimate medicinal purpose"

favourable — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 00:06:36 +0000

I assume it's legal where you live? Because where I live, you get dragged through the courts and get a criminal record for even small amounts. Also since it's illegal, you have to have contacts in the criminal underworld, and fund criminal enterprises. Not to mention you don't know the quality of what you're getting. It could be laced with contaminants or simply low quality crap. If it's legal where you live, relish that and see it as an enormous privilege.

URL shorteners are mostly used to cloak affiliate links. I'm a Commission Junction affiliate and they deliberately have long complicated URLs like drkqmpo5o9qew9sz.com/?affid=54321 and they rotate these often to get past 'blocker' technology. In terms of the ethics of that: there's nothing wrong with sharing a sale of something you're passionate about. It happens quite a lot.
