@SealOfTheEnd @nearcyan it's an engineer's job to figure out the implementation.

@pikuma is this what certain people actually believe

@martinmbauer Where is the arithmetic error?
My reading of it is that this is an issue of different data. Surely Chris would not have written based on the 1.5M value

@emollick that's exactly what the chart says it is. what's the misinterpretation?

[git neo @GitNeo]

@ItIsHoeMath @MichaelAArouet you can't just say that

@schutzsmith did you know that you can buy laundry service?
it's probably the same price as you pay for your laundromat, and they fold your clothes too.

@GrantSlatton i wouldn't ride a bus. would you?
trains are great.

@atulit_gaur @trengrj it's like asking math history questions

[git neo @GitNeo]

@lu_sichu when i explain this, people usually respond with "if that's what it takes, then you won't be able to understand anything"

@Enthusiasm2024 @jiqizhixin what were your findings

[git neo @GitNeo]

@HawaiiFalcon @Jeffrey28627067 @ItIsHoeMath From what i recall, that 2-3% range is alleged for misattributed fatherhood. i haven't checked the data, but i think that in our analogy that might be something closer to planting evidence than speeding.

@Jeffrey28627067 @HawaiiFalcon @ItIsHoeMath are there really only a tiny handful? where can i check how many there are

[git neo @GitNeo]

@tsoding what about checking how many engineer-hours went into it?

e.g. quake 2 engine was ~5 engineers over 1 year so around 10k hours.

[git neo @GitNeo]

@tsoding @kore_sar why is there ada

[git neo @GitNeo]

@jxmnop many such cases

@teortaxesTex foreign students pay a lot of money to go to schools, that's all it is.
it isn't necessarily the bottom 15% that takes them: think of a supply and demand curve.

@apralky Just to be clear, "Engineer King" is a concept lifted more or less in its entirety from the "Philosopher King" of Plato's Republic. It would actually be considered ideal.
Plato laments how most leadership is simply hereditary or of convenience. There are simply way more wordcels

[git neo @GitNeo]

@apralky This is wrong on most counts. I recommend reading Thucydides and Plutarch for a better idea of classical athens, and the biographies of just about any acclaimed leader (e.g. Napoleon, Alexander, Genghis khan) for their background.
Most wordcel leaders job badly e.g. Pericles

@matt_beard_ this only happens on topics where we aren't clueless. straight crazy how they're right about everything else

@CoinDealerDCL @ljupc0 @mattyglesias right. i omitted that i was conditioning on the population for whom such vehicles are even relevant at all.
there is a population for whom EVs make no sense, let alone self driving ones, and this population is nontrivial.
but 70% among those who want it in 50 years? likely
