Re:U.S. Life Expectancy Falls Again in ‘Historic’ Setback

I found it especially confusing how certain numbers were presented as the 2019-2021 delta and others the 2020-2021 delta without any way of seeing all the data together. Thanks for linking to the original source as when I looked for it last night I found it difficult to find.
Re:Scenarios in which Tesla FSD Beta 9.0 fails

Great, thanks for that info. I'm remembering the fatal crash of a Tesla on 101 where the family said the guy driving had complained about the site of the accident before. It's interesting to know that there's at least a mental list of places like this even now. Disengagements should at least prompt a review of that interaction to try and understand why the human didn't like the driving. Though at Tesla's scale that has already become something that has to be automated itself.

One of the questions I've repeatedly had regarding FSD (and Tesla's approach in particular) is the notion of memory. While a lot of these scenarios are disturbing, I've seen people wavering on lanes, exits and attempting to turn the wrong way onto one-way streets. People have memory, however. If we go through the same confusing intersection a few times, we'll learn how to deal with that specific intersection. It seems like a connected group of FSD cars could perform that learning even faster since it could report that interaction with any car rather than driver-by-driver. Are any of the FSD implementations taking this into account?

These are almost the exact reason I'm looking forward to test driving an ID.4. I just don't care about the acceleration enough to have that be a plus. I hope you like your ID.4, it really seems like a 'regular car' BEV.

This is a 1st-gen chip with H.264 and VP9 support. Apparently, they've already got early versions of the next generation with AV1 which will hopefully mean wider adoption of AV1 will be coming in the next few years.

Thanks for the quick fix. CoScreen looks really great!

FYI, looks like the link on the FAQs for Windows is messed up in the second question.
Is CoScreen available on macOS, Windows, Linux, Mobile, or Web? macOS: yes (download - requires macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and above) Windows: yes(download - requires macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and above) Linux, Mobile, Web: coming soon, sign up for the wait list

I interviewed a few months ago for a HW position and they mentioned remote was fine, even post-COVID. I'd imagine SW would be more flexible but don't specifically know.
