Great clips and editing. New perspective on the scale of self driving cars deployed currently.

What if the digital infra that issues the token is state or Federal software? That should significantly reduce privacy concerns?

It is hard to "vote with the wallet" when the chemicals are present everywhere and we hardly know where all it is present - maybe if there is a list of top N most-used/common most …

The RAM being so low is confusing. Given RAM is one of the cheaper components. I guess they do some smart swap memory using SSD - but my Air laptop struggles to run PowerPoint, few…

I am not aware of the packaging of regular baling wire. You should be able to source coir twine for cheap from SEA in a packaging you want, assuming baling wire packaging is somewh…

Any thoughts on jute twine or coir twine? Fully plant based. Jute is probably very similar to hemp.

Would you have been surprised if you did find that plastic mulch is actually shredded plastic? I wouldn't have been. That's the prevalence and abuse of plastic. In USA, open farm l…

> but they are first in the line getting reimbursed Sorry about the incident. Do you mean the health-insurance company tries to get reimbursed? From who? the auto-insurance of the …

> Papers, textbooks, tech talks, university lectures Perfect list. Tech talks, university lectures (recorded videos) are almost as consumable as YT edu-tainment videos. Papers, boo…

Multiple YT profiles is a smart hack! And also, great work on the app! The YT algo is pretty good - it catches on to what I want to follow and magnifies (ie suggest more content on…

"educational entertainment" videos are way too many, way too popular and binge-able - much more recommended by YT's AI. Actual education are much harder to discover on YouTube. I h…

another problem with ML workflow is the difficulty of iteration - takes long to run, etc. - but SWE are super used to iterating quickly

A robot truck could just follow a smaller autonomous vehicle. Alternatively a drone flying ahead of a truck with cameras could augment the sensing on the truck and extend the senso…

Exactly, a fold-away/flip-away form factor that doubles as a phone-case might be better.

Hahaha so true. Flying things aren't more abundant and prevalent because there must be insane lobby machinery and regulatory capture around the aviation industry. Plus economics of…

would it be possible to cross the plants the other way? Make the European/Asian ones big and tasty like the American ones. I am sure there are people thinking about this full time …

the game is a big trap... why is the post still on the HN home page...

do the European / Asian versions survive and grow in America? Are they being grown?
