<p>Some carpenter bees moved into my roof overhang. Last year it was two, this year it’s closer to 10. I like them, the only problem is they burrow into my house and leave little piles of sawdust behind.<p>There is plenty of old fencing, a stack of logs, but they like my house.</p>

<p>Neat! What happens when the simulated data is hallucinated/incorrect?<p>In the example videos, the Golden Gate bridge with snow shows the bridge as 1 road, with total of 3 lanes. But in reality, it’s a split highway with divider, so 2 sides both have 3 lanes, 6 total lanes.<p>What happens when the car “learns” to drive on the simulated incorrect 3 lane example? For example will next time it goes on the real GG bridge hug to the rightmost lane?</p>

<p>This would be my guess, query reformulations (user rewriting their query after first doesn’t work for them) is very common technique that search engines look through search logs to learn (mis)spellings.</p>

<p>I would add another axis to the graph. So x axis would be pace at which you work, and y axis would be novelty of work.<p>You can be burnt out doing fast paced repetitive work. It’s not always true the faster you go the more you learn.</p>

<p>Sounds similar to experiences inside sensory deprivation chambers.<p>In the SF Bay Area, there’s a company called reboot floatation spa , where you can book time floating in body temperature epsom salts inside a box that blocks noise and light.<p>I also experienced intense visual imagery and extraordinary ability to concentrate on thoughts while my other senses were deprived. And then I got sleepy</p>

<p>Why will a new system make the trains run better? It could also make it run worse, if they don’t cover all the current cases.<p>I’ve ridden Muni in SF for years, drivers control most of the decision making.<p>There’s a handful of single track tunnels/sensors/necessary software-based coordination, but as another commenter pointed out, the doors cause more issues than signal problems.</p>
