    Yes, as I see it every trip taken in a Waymo reduces the odds of an injury. I’ve also seen them force nearby human drivers to be safer. They drive slowly and can see around corners better than humans. A Waymo showing down near an alley or intersection lets drivers know something is approaching from out of sight.

    Can someone give this a try with the web chat mod? Finally bringing chat directly into the game!

    It's not perfect here, but Silicon Valley shows that capitalism and socialism (workers owning the means of production) are not contradictory.

    I feel bad for shilling on Google's behalf (a company I mostly try to avoid where I can) - but consider that fewer people are arriving at the emergency room because of self-driving cars.

    It’s practically a miracle that Waymo has a self driving platform that operates as good as it does right now.

    I think that discredits the work of the engineers. At some point you have to admit the injury rate is low because they've done an amazing job and has nothing to do with luck. It seems that, for now, they should stick to places with famously easy weather (SF, LA, Phoenix). But they'll figure it out eventually. I've been on team self-driving for decades now. Humans have only been driving because we haven't had a better alternative. I look forward to a future where someone driving a car is viewed as incredibly selfish.

    If you can't name a single problem that's not a strong argument. So now I have to guess what upsets you.

    Do you object on grounds of quality? I use Claude Opus often. I would describe its code quality between "mediocre" and "pretty good" depending on the situation. It gets worse when you stop tending to the outputs for too long. Having Claude write most of the code, especially for what's just a specific type of CRUD app, it's not necessarily going to result in something so poorly made it's more trouble than it's worth to use.

    I recommend you add a content-security-policy header to your site given it's full of UGC. Make it reasonably strict (no inlined JS/CSS allowed, no eval()).

    Edit: And I'd prioritize getting in error monitoring for a production site like this. I didn't see anything get logged over the network when I threw an error in the console. Cover both client side JS errors and server side errors. I use Bugsink which is self-hostable. I recommend not using the official Sentry SDKs to report to Bugsink as they are extremely bloated. But you can just have your LLM make an MVP error reporting client (here is what I use - I have the server generate the event_id field).

    I used to participate a long time ago when it was all free. But I didn’t like how they chose to monetize it. Nothing wrong with trying to make money but I didn’t like the execution.

    Another was from a local rich person trying to get rid of $100,000 (of which I got $2,000).

    Your project sounds great. I recommend doing one or two and then using that portfolio to apply.

    There were only a few days between the conception of the original sign idea and installation. It just took a while to come up with the idea of installing signs in the city.

    I had set up an unannounced scavenger hunt in Golden Gate Park a few months prior (which consisted of a few stickers placed on and behind various objects and a web app). I don't think many/any people actually did it but I enjoyed making it.

    I will never pay for Plex Pass. I use Plex for free a few times per year and I'm frequently pissed that they want me to pay for HDR -> SDR look up tables. I understand and am fully on board with charging for features that have an ongoing cost to them. NAT punching relays and stuff like that have a real monthly cost to Plex, so I am okay with them charging for it and okay with them making a profit. But they can go fuck themselves with a monthly fee to unlock a software patch.
