Waymos are really safe (80-95% safer than humans depending on the metric), but they also seem to be getting *safer* over time. This is the worst they'll ever be.
A quick analysis of the police-reported crash rates in three cities from Waymo's published safety data.
The safety data for Waymo gets better and better.
Comparison w/ human drivers on rate of crashes with serious injury:
Latest data: 270M miles, 20X better
Mar 2026: 170M miles, 13X better
Before that (forget exactly when): 10X better
270M+ miles. 841 fewer injury-causing crashes.
Our latest safety data shows the Waymo Driver continues to make roads safer for everyone.
Compared to human drivers across 5 territories, it reduced:
📉 Injury crashes by 82%
📉 Serious injury crashes by 95%

I think it’s funny that in this very short clip I think there are at least four explicit violations of Sharia law. I’m beginning to suspect these accusations may not have been correct.
Woah! Apparently 13!
APPARENT SHARIA VIOLATIONS:
• Music
• Dancing
• Men dancing with women
• Unrelated men & women freely mixing
• Physical contact between unrelated men & women
• Women dancing publicly before men
• Women with uncovered hair
• Women with uncovered arms
• Women with uncovered legs
• Men observing unveiled women
• Public entertainment involving music & dance
• Public display of conduct considered immodest
• Possible alcohol consumption
• General failure to observe gender segregation
I just went through the partner program for a site where each page - a single query as near as I could tell - took 10+ seconds to open. My god man this makes you look so bad.
Officially switching from RunKeeper to Strava to record my runs. I've been with RunKeeper for 15+ years, but the lack of an API and an MCP sealed the deal.
Google @antigravity and Flash Video understanding is so very very very good at the initial pass for editing video.
Many minutes (hours?) of time saved.

1/ Everyone asks the wrong question about LLMs in data pipelines, which is almost never "should I use LLMs?"
The question is: which stages get determinism guarantees, and which don't?
6/ So the architecture question for every pipeline team is, "Where do we draw the determinism boundary?"
If it requires a human to sort out an edge case, that's a great spot for an LLM to judge (but not decide, just opine!)
