Well that is a good way for a diplomat to lose their job. Publicly criticizing the head diplomat of the country. Whether or not the criticism is valid is beside the point. One doesn’t go around publicly criticizing the head of state. Now absolutely behind closed doors tell him You should be little more careful, that last public statement might not have been in the best possible tone.
Like it is kinda funny how he got sacked criticizing head of state for what might be interpreted as alliance disunity. While showing national disunity by publicly criticizing his own head of state. Yeah. That gets you fired.
Shakira, and many artists, are known to have done this for a long time. They take a relatively small salary, but then accept huge bonuses on the side. The main salary is easy enough to obfuscate, but unfortunately for Shakira, the tips don’t lie.
Regardless, he’s saying this stupid shit for more than 10 years now. Self driving cannot be solved without an artificial general intelligence because there has to be an understanding of what other people are going to be doing
If there was dedicated lanes/infrastructure it might be possible but makes more sense for cities to improve public transportation. A bus/train is a big fancy car powered by a general intelligence.
Eh. You can probably solve it with a good enough artificial narrow intelligence. Or/and dedicated infrastructure, inter-car communication protocols, etc. The issue is it's solving the wrong problem altogether.
Years ago (maybe still) Microsoft had a research facility for self-driving infrastructure. Instead of putting all the recognition and awareness in the car itself, a lot of it was offloaded the mini city they built. Streets and stop signs with embedded RFID, etc.
This, of course, doesn’t stop pedestrians from dying. But I thought it was a cool approach to the problem to “update the world” instead of trying to make a product that navigates our unmodernized infrastructure
Maybe, though trams only work in town. I couldn’t go see my family with a tram but I could put my self-driving city car in manual and take it out past the cornfields.
I think a lot of things have to change outside of major cities for public transportation to really take off as a concept here. There is SO much “empty” space in the US, it’s hard to imagine getting infrastructure out there that mainly only benefits a handful of people
I think they used to include RADAR in their cars, which is probably better for handling weather conditions that would interfere with light based systems (fog, snow, rain, etc.). They took it out, with Musk claiming they could do FSD with just cameras. Probably it was about cost or supply, and I think they decided to add it back recently.
Yeah, an article with such a headline should be banned from all news-themed communities since 2016 at the very latest, when he proclaimed that autonomous driving is a solved problem.
I recall he claimed fully automated driving would be ready by 2016, and back then I actually believed him.
When other makers said the technology was at least 5 years away, and probably more like 10, I thought they were losers who couldn’t compete.
LOL apparently I too was an idiot for believing Musk, My wife and I even bought a house in the country, where driving a car is a must for shopping and daily life in general, in confidence that we soon would have fully autonomous cars.
1 thing is for sure, when we finally switch to fully electric cars, there is zero chance they will be Tesla, and that’s not because he made 1 mistake.
Was "Nigeria addresses cost of living crisis by raising government worker minimum wage, transitioning from fossil fuels, distributing food and fertiliser." too long, not catchy enough, or maybe too incendiary for Reuters?
The article sounds like a lot of different sensible actions are being taken to help the average Nigerian, actions which should also be applied across the West. Like paying workers more, making sure they have access to reliable food sources and transitioning away from fossil fuel reliance.
It's like Reuters wants to focus on the bowl of grain at an open-air market photo and make the policies sound "primitive" or something. They buried the union action and government negotiations right down the bottom of the article.
We must always be grateful to the EU for saving us from American tech giants. It’s such a shame that America is on such terribly low moral ground in these matters.
