I like using neocities for goofy sites like these

- Loading indicator that never finishes loading https://loading.neocities.org/

- Scrolling marquee tribute site https://marquee.neocities.org/

- DVD logo bounce via `<marquee>` https://dvdmarquee.neocities.org/

- A form that lies about detecting image alterations https://isthisreal.neocities.org

we use Notion for anything that doesn't fit in one of the code repos, like process docs and platform architecture notes.

What's the ratio of humans back at headquarters ready to take over vs the number of cars active on the road? That's a really interesting number that I don't think I've ever seen reported anywhere.

It does feel like a lot of these weird/longtail situations should be more quickly resolved with some better combination of letting a human override in person (like when a AV car blocks a firetruck) and/or quickly getting a human to remotely take over, but yet we keep seeing these reports of where the car does something dumb for a long period of time. Is it as simple as they don't have enough employees on-hand to intervene?

I’d be interested in that stat as well, and love imagining a person sitting in front of dozens of screens showing video of automated cars

I'm certainly in the target audience for this. Nice work!

Here's a feature request: make it easy for me to import/dump stuff from the other methods that I've tried to use to store things I'm interested in. For example: HN favorites, Reddit saved posts, Firefox bookmarks, Instapaper bookmarks, ios notes

+1 request for an import feature

An import from Pocket would be cool
