I was slightly wrong. From page 237 of Algorithms to Live By, The Computer Science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths, further referencing the paper How Bad is Selfish Routing? by Roughgarden and Tardos, it says that

"...the "selfish routing" approach [of cars] has a price of anarchy that's a mere 4/3. That is, a free-for-all is only 33% worse than perfect top-down coordination."

Anyways, the way they got to that number is mathematical game theory. In this case people will choose the fastest route which happens to not be so bad.

It's also very possible that what they're concluding is significantly abstracted, but I haven't read the source reference to know for sure.

I read in a book that the current system of drivers acting on their own without something coordinating their every move is actually 75% as efficient as a fully coordinated system.

Therefore, the benefit obtained with all people using self driving cars is nothing compared to just improving public transit or improving car infrastructure.

Probably better for your car than just the brake and gas as well

I think this is a great example of how federation allows you to make an account somewhere else....

Just make an account in an instance that defederated hexbear. Even if an admin is an idiot they'll know to take action if the user count begins to stagnate or fall.

"Not car. Actually, it's GNU/Car." What precedes this is the sound of thousands of glasses being adjusted.

Not to mention, it doesn't feel like the blackout did anything either. I opened up r/all on Sync just now and it didn't feel any different than it did a week ago besides a bunch of posts that say that Reddit is killing 3rd-party apps.

Oh yeah, Lemmy has a usable search bar! Kinda forgot that it can be useful after using Reddit for so long.
