Anyone had success using Astra as a Foundry model via Github Copilot? The error I get is that tooling is not available if reasoning has a value.

I just watched a short that said some (all) Waymo drivers are not autonomous, but remote controlled by humans in the Phillipines.

I'm sure it's a combination of both since the latency would mean immediate reactions are impossible, but the presenter raised an interesting point, and that was that the remote drivers are not licensed to drive in the states that Waymo operated in, which would make it illegal.


Waymo uses remote contractors to hint the Waymo driver when it can't figure out a path forward. They're not being remote piloted.

They are however, very cagy about how often this is necessary.


They don't necessarily even hint them. I think the car mainly asks them yes/no questions and they respond.


except for the overwhelming evidence from video we already have that waymos are reacting than a human in the driver’s seat would, much less someone 200ms away.


Just ban lobby groups. Politicians are public servants, not corporate servants.


I'm unclear how banning the ACLU and the EFF is supposed to improve the alignment of politicians to public interests.


Support a dictator, and one day he will come for you.


Civilization does not collapse from the edges, but rot from the center — in our case when middle management silences vision, and shareholders trade legacy for dividends.


Shareholders aren't the center of civilization. Pretty much everyone is a shareholder now, at least indirectly through some sort of retirement plan or pension fund. We all benefit when profitable companies return some of that profit to shareholders in the form of dividends or share buybacks.


I still can't justify using Tailwind. It's not that I don't like it, but I find CSS does everything I need and more, and I do some pretty complex styling and animations in CSS.

I just find that at some point, Tailwind gets in the way and I revert back to plain CSS. TW invariably then just becomes another style src in the HTML.


I know a few people are ruining democracy for us.
