> a former Baidu executive, Drive.AI board member, and one of the industry’s most prominent boosters — argues the problem is less about building a perfect driving system than training bystanders to anticipate self-driving behavior. In other words, we can make roads safe for the cars instead of the other way around. As an example of an unpredictable case, I asked him whether he thought modern systems could handle a pedestrian on a pogo stick, even if they had never seen one before. “I think many AV teams could handle a pogo stick user in pedestrian crosswalk,” he told me. “Having said that, bouncing on a pogo stick in the middle of a highway would be really dangerous.”

> “Rather than building AI to solve the pogo stick problem, we should partner with the government to ask people to be lawful and considerate,” he said. “Safety isn’t just about the quality of the AI technology.”

autoconf creates a shell script by preprocessing with m4. So you need to know not just the intricacies of shell scripting, but also of m4, with its arcane rules for escaping: https://mbreen.com/m4.html#quotes

If autoconf used m4 to generate python scripts, they would also look like https://pyobfusc.com/#winners

I followed the link buy couldn't find the source for this claim. The linked page talks about Registered vehicles (many of which will be car#2 etc), while https://www.ssb.no/en/transport-og-reiseliv/landtransport/st... about miles driven isn't split into EV/fossil. Anyone see where the 20% comes from?

    The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that
    conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more
    comforting.
    The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the
    grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension
    that are in control.
    The truth is far more frightening; no-one is in control.
    The world is rudderless.
