The black car on the right that does stop for the dummy child is equipped with LiDAR from @luminartech—a technology Tesla still refuses to use in its production vehicles—though Tesla does use LiDAR to test how far off the distances its cameras estimate are from actual.

Several hours ago, a 47th Ward neighbor was struck and killed by a driver as he was crossing Irving Park on foot near Hoyne. He had just departed an early vote rally that I and many others were attending. I am devastated. (1)

RE: Moore's law & Apple M1 Ultra
• 2x transistor in 2 yrs is sqrt(2) in 1 yr
• intel 4004 has 2,250 transistor in 1971
• 2022-1971 = 51
-> 2,250 * 1.414^51 = 105 billion
-> M1 Ultra has 114 billion
---> Moore's law ✅ after 51 years
