San Francisco Muni driver asleep as speeding train tosses screaming riders
Video from the Sept. 24 incident shows a two-car N Judah light rail train traveling toward downtown San Francisco around 8:37 a.m. as the driver’s head drops, appearing to drift off to sleep. @KTVU

the hotel industry is trying to replicate this in Maui by banning the remaining Airbnbs.
the only difference is that more than 80% of the island's economy depends on tourism..
I had to crash at a friend's place last month for a few nights because for whatever reason the average rate for even a mediocre hotel room in Manhattan / Brooklyn was close to $700 in mid-October, regardless of planning ahead vs using something like HotelTonight.
The only explanation we could come up with was that eliminating the Airbnb supply really wrecked the marketplace.
@KCGrock@LondonBreed i’m not an expert, but I think a solution should be found. maybe shrinking some sidewalks or allowing cars outside of rush hours would work? if not, allowing rideshare sounds sensible to me. the current form excludes mobility-disadvanced folks to use market st imo.
Thank you Governor @GavinNewsom for vetoing SB-1047 -- your pro-innovation leadership is much appreciated!
And to the many people who've been pushing back on SB-1047, a huge thank you as well. Congratulations to all -- we won! 🎉
Looking ahead, lets keep on protecting AI open-source and innovation. We must make sure AI policy is based on science, not science fiction!
Cats! Dogs! Geese! Laura Loomer! Look, now he’s attacking Taylor!
Like the last season before a show gets canceled for getting over-the-top and, at the same time, boring.
This election is about jobs, wages, climate, health care, abortion. Not his show. Your life.
It seems to me that before "urgently figuring out how to control AI systems much smarter than us" we need to have the beginning of a hint of a design for a system smarter than a house cat.
Such a sense of urgency reveals an extremely distorted view of reality.
No wonder the more based members of the organization seeked to marginalize the superalignment group.
It's as if someone had said in 1925 "we urgently need to figure out how to control aircrafts that can transport hundreds of passengers at near the speed of the sound over the oceans."
It would have been difficult to make long-haul passenger jets safe before the turbojet was invented and before any aircraft had crossed the atlantic non-stop.
Yet, we can now fly halfway around the world on twin-engine jets in complete safety.
It didn't require some sort of magical recipe for safety.
It took decades of careful engineering and iterative refinements.
The process will be similar for intelligent systems.
It will take years for them to get as smart as cats, and more years to get as smart as humans, let alone smarter (don't confuse the superhuman knowledge accumulation and retrieval abilities of current LLMs with actual intelligence).
It will take years for them to be deployed and fine-tuned for efficiency and safety as they are made smarter and smarter.
Maui update. South Maui resorts (Lahaina is West Maui) NEED visitors. Furloughs and layoffs starting because people think the whole island is closed. It is not. If you are planning a trip to Wailea or Kihei, don’t cancel. If you want to come to Hawaii pls consider South Maui.
India's Chandrayaan captured one of the clearest shots of the Apollo landing sites I've ever seen!
It's been 51 years since humanity has ventured out of Earth. It's about time we do it again!
I live in bernal heights and using self driving companies since a while. they are not experiments, and have a huge potential to help solve transportation problems of communities.
we should absolutely not elect you.
In San Francisco we're being subjected to for-profit tech experiments without our consent.
Research institutions have to go through a more robust protocol than what the CPUC just did with for-profit AV companies.
We should absolutely sue.

Lahaina, Maui is my home. You don't get to speak for me. Joe Biden has ordered all available federal assets on the Islands to help with response. He can do that AND help Ukraine. We can do both in the US. I stand with Ukraine AND I am #MauiStrong. And you are despicable.
BREAKING: The California Public Utilities Commission has voted to let Cruise and Waymo operate driverless robotaxis 24/7 and charge fares across San Francisco.
The decision came after hours of sharply divided public comment. https://t.co/nmFwW5JPWf
