It seems to me that things like "intuition" and "instinct" are just subconscious algorithms that you can't articulate (example instinct: I pull my hand away from a fire; I can't tell you why, but it isn't magic; somewhere in the wiring of the brain there is an algorithm that makes that happen).
Fundamentally, the brain processes information to make decisions, which machines can always in principle be designed to do. Thus as long is medicine is fundamentally about making diagnostic and treatment decisions, it can be solved by machines.
Proper care of the elderly is another problem that society should address without racking up insane health care costs just so a little old lady has someone to chit chat with. There are certainly more fruitful (and cheaper) ways to solve that.
Yeah, but if they had no choice but to use Linux, they would make sure their hardware worked with it. Can't really compare to the past, when Microsoft essentially got a 10 year head start on Linux and was a monopoly by the time it arrived on the scene.
After YouTube auto login was implemented, I started using a cookie manager. With one or two clicks you can enable or disable cookies, which logs you in or out. I don't want every random reddit video that I click on to show up in my YouTube history, so generally I leave it blocked except for when I actually want to view my subscriptions on YouTube.
Also, a fast way to do a logged out Google search, without switching browsers or entering private browsing mode, is to bookmark one of the IP addresses in the 74.125.225.0/25. Since cookies are domain specific and you're not on google.com, you'll be logged out.
I simply use 2 different browsers. Firefox as main browser for what I would like to be tracked and Chrome incognito for visiting other websites. It's a pain but works fairly well.
A lot of those accidents happen in rain and snow, which the Google folks admit are not as well tested. Under clear conditions on open roads, humans probably do better than 300K miles too.
That doesn't seem right to me. A person driving 10K a year will hit 300,000 miles over the course of 30 years. Does the average person really have less than 1 accident every 30 years? Especially when they are younger?
Per mile is a pretty poor measure. My dad drives at least 40K/year (long commute) and has averaged one accident per 20 years - but obviously for a regular driver following a familiar route the chances of an accident are pretty low. I would expect someone who drives less would actually have more accidents/year.
I put 40k on my first car and hit stuff enough to warrant replacing something - often just a fender etc - at least 5 times. Only one fender bender when I rear ended someone at ~15 mph talking on my phone like an asshole.
I know I'm a worse driver than most. But I also wouldn't say that my similarly young friends average anywhere close to 1 such error per 250k miles. Definitely closer 25k.
