Is $200 close to what it costs the hospital, or after subsidies?

> Opus in January So pre-nerf Opus?

The trick to longevity in things is to acquire skills in repairing.

I'm curious if Rust (WASM through JS interop?) also has access to `window.location`, and if the API has some more safety mechanisms.

Maybe they can also make the boxes out of concrete for a lot cheaper?

>Except even in volume, you've probably spent more than the car is worth (labor will be the killer, not hardware), or enough that the person whose economics dictate an older car ca…

Open Pilot essentially created an aftermarket advanced adaptive cruise control that works better than most brands outside of Tesla. They just can't sell it legally as a whole packa…

On the flip side, I bought an used 08 Sprinter van over the previous, more reliable generation, mainly for the side airbags. It turned out the one I bought didn't have them. It was…

I think it's a shame that we can't add new safety features into older cars. I feel like there's very little engineering reasons why we can't, and it's mostly regulatory hurdles, th…

I wonder if it has more to do with larger training data than the languages themselves.

My impression with the visa situation is that while technically green card is very difficult, in practice most expats have no issue renewing their work visas, so effectively living…

I'm not sure if this is a solid argument. Most of the art, music, literature before the twentieth century were created under censorships of authoritarian regimes, and they don't la…

Probably not enough space for people. Often people aren't allowed to stay in their cars.

More so in the Chinese-speaking world and South Korea because the industrialization/urbanization is more recent, so there's rising demand in the urban areas with high population gr…

Cost of living can be a lot lower in Taiwan, if your property is already paid off. Unfortunately housing is super overpriced, due to the Asian mentality resulting in high property …

Similar for Ferraro Rochers I think. Like Pringles, they are definitely not the cheapest options, even in rich countries. But there's always a market for the occasional splurges. B…

Any devices that fare better in this regard?

The robot brain could be layered so that more basic functions are embedded locally while higher-level reasonings and offloaded to the cloud.

What I found hilarious is in the Dexterous Hands video, the robot deftly places a walnut on the table, then proceeds to smash it with its bare fist.

I mean, humans also have tons of failures modes, but we've learned to live them over time. The average human have tons of quirks, talk over each other all the time, generally can't…

Even within China, the north (wheat-growing culture) is noticeably more individualistic than the south (rice-growing culture). The south is also significantly more traditional. Jap…

I owned a bunch of mid-century Danish/Swedish furnitures, and they're generally pretty light. They tend to have slimmer profiles for the "modern" appearance, so less material. Also…

I wonder for drivers who drove with regen-only for too long, do they lose the reflex to hit the brake?
