They definitely pushed the "aggressive" lever up a little over the last month.

I think it's one of those cases where it's sort of obvious it can calculate trajectories and speeds much better than a human, so it's a safe manoeuvre in theory, but it "feels" bad as a passenger.

Same thing for where it can see that it can squeeze through a tight "lane" but a normal human driver would probably wait until the oncoming traffic had passed.

If it was a human that person would have been dead, no question.

Sometimes I'm riding in a Waymo (which I do every single day, 4x) and it does something, and I double take. Then a second later I see whatever it was it reacted to, and I'm like "dang, why did I doubt you, robotic overload?"

The best part is that it works the same way in the day time vs the night time.

Magic.

Waymo's are far, far better. I ride one every day, and trust them more than I trust 99% of Uber/Lyft drivers.

When I logged in with my Google account, it detected the system setting.

The example (https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs) doesn't seem to respect my system theme on macOS.

Good to see tools and scripts around their offerings.

Hoping for that US DC at some point.

`austral compile hello.aum --entrypoint=Hello:main --output=hello`

vs

`go build`

Etc etc.

Rewrite/relaunch did increase revenue a lot, but not enough to justify the 5 year investment of R&D. Pain.

That they're invested in tech stock is the least shocking thing imaginable.

However, the underlying technology is legitimately interesting and solves a lot of hard problems (e.g. distributed systems, consensus, clock synchronisation across wide networks, provable ownership of assets, etc, etc).

I don't see any value in the coins blockchains operate on except maybe as a means for paying for execution on that network.

I do see a tonne of value in say, abstracting something like USDC payments/remittance/etc that runs very cheaply/quickly on (for example) Solana and remove middle men from these equations.

I think the market/world will optimize out of the un-interesting parts over time and the use cases that add value to the world will rise to the top.

That's something.

Ah, good old kleptocracy. Who could have predicted this?

The current "admin" is full of Boeing people. Also, there's no one doing anything at the FAA.
