Not sure what those glasses in particular have that other display glasses don’t, but in the context of AR cameras are just basically inevitable as we progress towards more advanced devices since they’re the only way to do 6dof tracking anywhere and you need a model of the world to do much.

Knowing that would mean the ability to make lots of money off of it but nobody knows for sure.

it’s a very narrow view of accessibility to think the whole problem is solved by making an accessible bus you can get on with a wheelchair. Limited mobility affects your ability to get to the bus stop and it comes in many forms. Visually impaired people also benefit.

Spend a little time watching footage of the weird stuff Waymos sometimes do you and you’ll be easily convinced they’re absolutely not being controlled by humans all the time.

We do still have taxis even in countries where mass transit is well maintained and popular. They’re also not the perfect form of transportation for everyone as people can have disabilities causing limited mobility etc.

Automating things like trains also seems to have been a very slow process.

Jolla is trying to ride the AI wave certainly but it’s not really “an AI company”. The one AI product they offer currently is about running your own limited scope local LLM and the AI part isn’t even developed by them.

This did a good job showing some of the details relevant to a passenger. Apparently first rides in these are being offered to select riders already in locations such as Phoenix and this’ll be significantly less expensive for Waymo per vehicle than the Jaguars. I think they’re also able to close their own doors so if people leave those open it’s not a problem…

One thing they have noticed and will keep noticing is the inflation and fuel prices.

Correct, the model they are releasing this fall won’t have a display. The next iteration that will come out next year at the earliest will have a display.

NeoDB has fairly comprehensive data import from numerous sites that catalogue media so I don’t think I’ve run into not finding something even once there. Haven’t used it much for music though.

I also use Pixelfed and it’s generally good apart from occasional bugs. There’s also Vernissage (vernissage.photos as flagship instance).

Waymos do try to find somewhere to park too which has also been the subject of stories like this when the place they choose seems unusual. Neither types of taxis can always be parked since they may be in areas with little legal parking space available. Since there are incentives for drivers to be in busy areas where they might pick up customers it isn’t very uncommon for taxis in general.

Waymo behavior just stands out because the system isn’t concerned about how things look and there is more coordination/consistency. A human driver might choose a less efficient way to circle around in the area using congested roads etc. and every driver makes their independent and almost always different decisions. Waymos on the other hand can get allocated to the same area in anticipation of demand and then go to the same streets because the system deems those to be the best option available at the time.

not virtualization, the dev says in the thread: “This is bare metal, no VM. m1n1+u-boot deal with the Apple-specific parts of booting, so we can boot UEFI images from USB like any PC”.

This was later in the thread than the linked post so you had to read further down to see it though.

seems much more likely to be a devkit and that nothing much can be deduced from it when it comes to a release timeline.

Chinese pony.ai is also starting this with Verne in Croatia.

Well, the general concept is no different from what regular taxis already do. What makes this stand out is that they are robotically going to the same otherwise little utilized areas…

Seems like blatantly obvious creation of a false pretext considering that we’ve known for a while the US is thinking of invading.

Axios has become a joke. They’ve been the admin’s lapdog uncritically publishing their claims of negotiations going well with Iran etc. weekly and at the specific times possibly intended to influence the markets. It’s become clear it’s all just lies they’re using Axios to lend credence to…

they may not want to do it because perception shifting to them being the more stable and trustworthy superpower especially in the eyes of developing countries while they’re actively doing the work of building relationships the USA has now abandoned benefits them immensely and their own special military operation would speak directly against that.

You obviously know it but worth still saying this current admin and the Republican party certainly isn’t… Trump’s friendly with the dictators more than the traditional allies most of which are democracies USA used to have and he’s actively trying to end democracy at home.

they’re already testing in Tokyo so I think that is likely to be the next location outside USA/UK.

Probably a big part of it is the internet emerged from the USA and Silicon Valley already was a strong tech hub in the 90s when it really started becoming worldwide. Back in the 80s and into the early 90s UK used to also to have a pretty big concentration of talent but for some reason that started going away as the 90s progressed.
