The company has about 700 robotaxis in total — most in SF and Phoenix — but Waymo's spokesperson told Business Insider there are plans to expand access to the public in Los Angeles and Austin.I took two rides on June 27 to and from the Financial District of SF during peak morning commute hours.My verdict?

Trump’s hush-money sentencing will still happen in September despite his new immunity superpowers, New York legal experts predict

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

"No harm, no foul" isn't just for streetball. It could help former President Donald Trump's hush-money conviction survive the US Supreme Court immunity opinion.Thanks to a legal doctrine called "harmless error," Trump's September 18 sentencing is virtually guaranteed to proceed as planned, former New York judges and prosecutors predicted in conversations with Business Insider.And no amount of jumping up and down and screaming "SCOTUS" can stop it, they said.That's because even if Trump's trial judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, finds that presidential immunity retroactively invalidates some evidence used at trial, he'll likely also find that this amounts…

Thus far, even AI companies have had trouble coming up with tools that can reliably detect when a piece of writing was generated using a large language model. Now, a group of researchers has established a novel method for estimating LLM usage across a large set of scientific writing by measuring which "excess words" started showing up much more frequently during the LLM era (i.e., 2023 and 2024). The results "suggest that at least 10 percent of 2024 abstracts were processed with LLMs," according to the researchers.In a preprint paper posted earlier this month, four researchers from Germany's University of…

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Gazans are growing increasingly critical of Hamas as Israel's deadly military campaign in the Gaza Strip continues.Public criticism of Hamas — which took full control of Gaza in 2007 after ousting its rival political party, Fatah — had been relatively rare before the Gaza war.Many Gazans also cheered the events of October 7 at the time, with people taking to the streets to celebrate what they saw as their occupier's humiliation.But while those attacks on Israel, which killed around 1,200 people, increased Hamas' popularity in both Gaza and the West Bank, the majority of residents in both territories do not…
