Dragging out a number like that is entirely useless and makes me think you are being disingenuous.

Instead go find the accidents per 100,000 miles driven. Then make sure it takes into account that the robots only drive in fair whether places like California and Phoenix.

I think you might actually be correct in your argument but the evidence you have brought for it is poor.


The thing with those guys, as you have rightly pointed out is for all their problems they do get out of the way and filter through traffic (dangerously as you point out)

A single startup with cooler sized robots tottering down the sidewalk is fine. When every single delivery company gets on board then we have a shit load of those things kicking around and in the way. I have the same issues in cities with those scooters that get left all over the place.


It took Amazon like 10 years to get off Oracle didnt it? Amazon is a tech company where tech is the product and so has lots of internal expertise.

It is like banks trying to get off mainframes, they just cant do it organizationally and there are loads of failed attempts both public and private. I imagine most companies using Oracle are like that.


It doesnt matter unless someone takes them to court over it.

Not really that surprising.

Authoritarianism has its draw backs obviously but one of its more efficient points is it can get things done if the will is at the top. Since China doesnt have a large domestic oil supply like the US it is a state security issue to get off oil as fast as possible.


It’s become clear that some form of top down total technocratic control like China has implemented is essential for pushing humanity forward.

That is because the DoubleClick parasite has long infected the host.

I have 4 32gb sticks of DDR5 6400 in my machine.

The RAM in my machine being worth more than the graphics card (7900XTX) was not on my bingo card I can tell you that.


A POST could be viewed as creating a "search" which, once given an ID could be retrieved later with a GET.

I know this densest really work with ad-hock and cheap queries but it does for more expensive / report style ones.


I personally think everyone should install arch once the manual way. It will give you a good idea how everything fits together.

After that, just use EndeavourOS.

I used Antergos before that and EndevourOS has been great since.


> It will give you a good idea how everything fits together.

The actual user does not give any shits. And while I love tinkering around and understand my OS/distro/$software I can absolutely relate. Linux should be at last so accessible that most of the things just work and a broad audience can just use their computer.


It isnt so much tinkering vs learning how it works.

Part of the reason new users struggle so much is because they forget they have spent 10 years or whatever using windows / macos and linux is definitely not those.

As much as Linux has become far more user friendly in the last couple years it still has its warts and a quick boot camp like installing arch can be very beneficial.


My first Linux distro was Slackware. I think I will be okay.

That is like how every ORM promises you can just swap out the storage layer.

In practice it doesnt quite work out that way.
