Right. So the marginal benefit of a self-driving car to people who feel that they already drive on autopilot most of the time is low. Especially when they weigh that benefit against the risk of putting their life into the hands of a 4000lb machine controlled by what? A computational system programmed by the same group of people (in the general public's mind) that brought them clippy, the Hawaii nuclear missile scare, algorithmic flash crashes, bloated ad-filled websites, telephone bots, 8 remote controls per living room, and Flappy Bird.

Theres still a conditional branch in that statement

No mention of https://observablehq.com notebooks? They’re the best I’ve found in the “Share and collaborate” and “As products” category. JupyterLab is still pretty great for exploratory stuff, but visualization possibilities in observable are incredible.

Fun read - great article for getting a better intuition on real world data analysis of dynamic systems (especially the part showing how bad conflating mean and median is).
Only gripe is it’s not an interactive notebook of some sort so others could play with the data.

Thanks. Reading back through it I agree so I updated to put that final calculation in a separate notebook cell to be more explicit.

Good luck with that. I think you’d be better off leveraging an existing open SDR board for the different waveforms these modems support. Even still I don’t think there are any affordable SDRs out there that can support the high order QAM modes of even just the old DOCSIS specs much less 3.0 and above
