If you read the article, they clearly test vision in the patients.

>the majority of patients regained some sight, with some advancing from legally blind to low vision.

I suppose their services are down as, no matter what I do, all I’m getting is «I’ll get back to you with insights», followed by nothing.

You know you're on HN when people refer to neurology in terms of pointers and garbage collection.

Yep. Of course, one needs to adapt the speech to the audience :-)

I often wonder if work experience on your resume pre-2023 will become a hot commodity for employment in the coming years.

Looks like Reddit is leaking into HN again.

I think there is a certain affinity between working for YC funded company and enjoying the Laundry Files series and more here compared to the great proletariat gathering

Stross posts here fairly regularly.

Interesting. I feel far happier when I am able to just "do the damn work" all day. Instead, I find I am constantly having to pander to the onslaught of stakeholders who require constant meticulous management to give me the space to do the damn work. I can hardly get into a flow state anymore because of the heavy layer of management and dependencies.

Oh, I feel this. Here’s a junior with a quick question, there’s a strategy meeting, oh hey the CI pipeline broke for some reason, and why are the workers slow currently? Did you answer my email yet?

They are going face major regulatory hurdles. Safety concerns are huge—both real and perceived—and governments, especially in places like the US and Europe, are still far from trusting fully autonomous vehicles. Add in fragmented regulations across different states and countries, plus potential public skepticism, and it's clear this won't be in place any time soon.

Labor opposition is also going to be a nightmare. Just as Uber faced resistance from taxi unions and legislators sympathetic to workers who saw their jobs threatened, Tesla will likely face significant opposition from drivers in the gig economy, who rely on ride-hailing platforms like Uber and Lyft. Governments may be pressured to protect those jobs, especially in regions where automation is seen as a threat to employment.

I already get a driverless taxi a few times a week

Look up Otoliths. It’s a bone in the ear of fish that is commonly used for aging.

Thank you for the info and the appropriate term. I will research more about this!

Time for some wikipedia deep dives!
