I'm sorry don't you people have literal camps for sick and undesirable people?

i’m gonna go ahead and say no and hedge my bet by saying i have no fucking idea what you’re talking about so you may be asking about something like the asylum processing centres, which are a necessary evil that yes we do particularly poorly but every country has - in fact i believe, not that it’s a competition for “worst”, but your new president who you just let come to power implemented some of the worst camps for brown people and separated children from their parents, so glass houses and all that

Who you vote for is who you vote for. This is a basic concept you've failed to learn.

whilst that’s true, it’s irrelevant… your vote for a 3rd party candidate in FPTP like the US has means you may as well have used your ballot as toilet paper

i like how you call a dictionary definition simply “my” definition… if you’d like to learn more about the english language, i suggest you use a freely available dictionary website

it sounds like you don’t understand protest

normal /nôr′məl/

adjective

1. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical. "normal room temperature; one's normal weight; normal diplomatic relations."
2. Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies. Relating to or designating the normality of a solution.

definition 3 is not relevant, but i assume you’d agree that none of those definitions that were listed have specific statistical meanings

normal is not a useful statistical term: it does not mean average in any way - mean, median, mode, etc… normal is, in a social context, more likely to be interpreted to mean “Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies”, so i think you’d have to admit being described as “not normal” would piss some people off

please adjust your language

it serves the purpose to mock the request and make people think about the absurdity

in the same way that a request for a “white history month” should also be mocked - it’s just straight up trivialising the whole concept

it’s called accelerationism

mate, i live in australia and i vote for our leftist parties… the fact that you call me “right wing” is absolutely laughable

i didn’t vote in your election, but your countries’ choices effect me significantly

YOUR choices that actually had any chance of having any effect were genocide or more genocide + erosion of human rights + fascism… you chose to not vote against the latter, and that’s all there is to it. your inaction will cause lives to be lost and human rights to be eroded. you can say you voted 3rd party for some future effect, and that’s even an acceptable position! but don’t fucking act like that decision didn’t help trump come to power (because trump got elected; your choice contributed to that outcome) and more people in the next 4 years will absolutely die because of it

at least know it, admit it, and own it

there was no third choice. you were always going to get kamala or trump: that’s reality. your third choice led to trump. congratulations; that’s going to be real good for your genocide

at least be honest about it: if you didn’t vote, or voted third party then your choice wasn’t to get that party in power; it was to send a message. that message is now at best going to be acted upon in 4 years time. your “third choice” realistically resulted in sacrificing palestinian, ukrainian, and american women’s lives in the hope that the democrats will be better next time. if that’s what you wanted, well, congrats i guess we will see if it worked… but the cost for your choice is going to be incredibly high

this is literally the exact kind of thing that chatgpt hallucinates. it’s not only not trustworthy, i’d bet on it being wrong

why are people still obligated to vote for them?

because now you have a “blank check” for expanded genocide. congrats. that was a fucking masterful plan

there were 2 choices… you don’t get a 3rd choice - you can argue it was a choice for the future, but this round anyone who didn’t vote is partly responsible for the additional lives that will be lost, the rights curtailed, and the erosion of your due process

their non-vote is a fucking fantasy… their non-vote is going to cause palestinians to lose their lives… because they didn’t have the fucking spine to make a decision that actually effects the outcome, their childish protest is going to cause lives to be lost

Their stance is that by using lidar OEMs are hamstringing themselves on solving vision because they are so reliant on it.

i get that… but… vision is kinda shit. why not use all the tools at your disposal? like literally “x ray vision” is something that we see as a super power because it’d be so useful - radar gives us that

vision is an approximation of things like lidar. can you get a depth map out of vision? sure by why not just measure it directly and then you’re not introducing error by your model literally hallucinating

The more sensors you deal with, the more your attention gets divided. You aren't laser focused on one thing.

kinda but also the last 20% takes 80% of the effort… solving a lot of easy problems with more information will lead to a better short term outcome, and then when you’re getting good results then you can solve from 80% to 85% then 85 to 90 etc across your whole sensor suite

The extra sensors also cost a lot of money

so they though? you can buy hobbyist ultrasonic sensors for literally a couple of bucks, lidar for a few hundred - sure that’s not at the grade that you’d use for cars, but at some point it’s an economies of scale problem. they’re not actually that expensive for a commodity “good enough” sensor package

You might not like the reasons, or their stance

correct - i understand them, but as an engineer it’s just wrong when you’re talking about one of the most dangerous activities that humanity collectively engages in (driving)

What happens when they keep seeing improvements in vision and now radar isn't needed?

i think this could be the sticking point - i don’t think any extra sensors are needed, just like i don’t think seatbelts or air bags etc are needed… but… they’re helpful and improve the safety of people in and around the car

all the crazy headlines you see about it are idiots in cars being idiots

agree, and i totally think driverless is the way to go - humans are far worse drivers than machines are right now without any improvement

… however, better isn’t perfect, and when it comes to safety simply ignoring tools because of some belief that eventually it’ll be fine is misguided at best, and negligent at worst

If people wanna blame Elon for convincing people to be idiots, sure, you can do that

absolutely that too! their systems aren’t “drives itself no problemo” and that’s how they’re marketing it
