Are self-driving snow plows realistic, even if just on highways? Would such plows eventually be more affordable, be able to run almost 24 hours a day and mean that more road is cleared?

(It never snows where I live so plowing or driving on snow is an alien concept to me.)
Cloud parking. If a car spots a parking spot (cities could encode these in Google Maps, too, for example) which is free, it notifies the cloud.

Cities may also take advantage of already ubiquitous CCTVs and optical recognition software to provide parking info.
I'd be quite biased against you, honestly. Most engineers have huge monitors to take in a large amount of code in their head at once. How do you catch up? Text to speech seems like a slow way to input information, especially if people were nesting brackets and such.

On the other hand, that challenge would make it extra tough for you start in the first place and there'd be some positive bias as well. So I'd wonder if we got a superhero here.

I guess there's no point in interviewing. What would I look for? Passion? Most blind people would give up and find another job, so there's more than enough passion. Problem solving? Why not solve a real problem?

What I'd do is stop interviewing and give you some really tough code. It would be the actual job, take about three days on average, and even pay three days salary upon completion. Maybe something shorter might take 1 day, but it's not big enough to cover the question of whether you can modify other people's code.

parking garages/lots would be incentivized to work with manufacturers to come up with automated ways to check in and out because it directly leads to more revenue for them (and less hassle with accidents I'd bet)

Just availability is already available and popular in some cities, Seattle for instance http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/epark/default.htm

I think you're vastly overstating the complexity of figuring if a parking spot is available and paying for it.

It can certainly navigate and move in snowy conditions, but I can't see it actually driving in them.
The "magic macros" aren't a big deal; you just stick "QOBJECT" at the top of every class, it's not hard, and it's just one line (and one word). And the complexity of Qt's libraries is irrelevant; the whole point of using a toolkit like Qt is so that it hides the complexity for you and gives you tools in an easier-to-use format instead of you reinventing the wheel over and over, or getting different tools from different places, of varying quality. In the process of that, Qt (much like Boost) attempts to provide all the tools you'll need for general tasks, rather than just supplementing STL by providing lots of stuff it lacks.

Also, STL syntax is ugly and hard to work with; Qt's is a lot easier, which is another reason they replace STL's functionality with their own. (Boost, similarly, has its own style of syntax.)

(If you're referring to any macros related to the signal/slot mechanism, that's because C++ itself has no such mechanism natively so of course it's going to require extra macros and a preprocessor to provide that.)
If you have a big garage that allows you plenty of space to exit your vehicle, then this doesn't make sense. This feature is not for you.

My parking spot is a narrow spot in a covered carport. It's uncomfortable to exit the vehicle when you're in the spot, without risking bumping the door into the next car over.

The shared garage at my workplace is similar.

My brother's home has a parking spot so narrow that you can't exit from the driver's side in an SUV due to a wall, so you have to climb out the passenger side.

My parent's house has a garage used for storage, so there's lots of stuff piled around the car. And there's no direct entrance to the house (except via a ladder up to a hatch).

All of these use-cases would be easier to park if you could get out of the car, and have it pull in and out (drive straight by the length of the vehicle) automatically. It's basically driven by the fact that the space needed to store a car is much smaller than the space needed to store a car with a door open.

This is one of the best features I could ask for in a car, for me.
This feels incredibly Silicon Valley centric. Hybrid Command Line only serves to increase friction in the messaging process, particularly for normal users. Press reviews have already noted that there is a learning curve, that the experience is better with a smaller friends list. This sounds like it is set up to fail to get broader adoption.
It sounds like @fpgaminer is saying that when humans created something similar (the neural nets of the 90's) it had issues (local maxima) until we increased the complexity (the number of variables that the system could/did respond to) in a way that started approaching the complexity of evolution.
You are definitely right. Since it is private beta now, we will add SSL to the entire website before the official release.

Thank you!
It's not about the design of the network, it's about the training. Optimizing the weights of a DNN is a non convex optimization problem solved using gradient based search for weights that minimize a loss function. If you can only search in 10 dimensions, it's harder to move in the correct direction. Once you're searching in 1000 directions, you can usually find a path that gets you to the right place. Think of it this way: there may exist a 10 dimensional solution, but it requires learning a very dense solution.

That's not what this means at all. In any given company there are X individuals across Y teams involved in deploying a piece of software (never mind an emergency patch). Stakeholders in this context refers to all those involved to make it happen: devs, QA, PMs, documentation, marketing, etc.

The problem isn't solved as soon as a patch is released. This is serious damage control. Handled poorly it blows up. A lone dev doesn't/shouldn't hold all that responsibility.
Exactly this, it seems like they didn't pay much attention to this page.
The question is not about how we got from old neural nets to new neural nets.

The question is about how a search works within old neural nets, vs. how a search works within new neural nets.
You're missing the whole thing. For starters, Slack is for work and Peach is for personal. But I think before you dismiss something as "isn't it just x plus y?" you need to take a little bit more time and thinking to try and figure out what the product designers are trying to achieve and how.
My first gut reaction was, like many, that policing whether children can walk to school is effing retarded.

But, I remember when we had no seat belt laws or child seats, and that was a dumb idea, and got solved by government intrusion. My parents moved me and my siblings to Mexico for a year, and used to send us walking through the city on own. I was the oldest, at 7, my sister was 6, my brother 4. One time my brother was kicked in the head by a horse while we were wandering in a field petting the horses. In retrospect, my parents were lucky he lived, and a little more supervision may have been called for.

I have children, and usually encourage them to walk to school, a little under a mile. But, I'd never let them loose on their own in a foreign country.

I'm also white and have lived only in at least middle class, ridiculously safe neighborhoods, except for my year in Mexico, my whole life. I realize I've been really lucky, and that there are a wide variety of people and places and standards and ways kids can and do get hurt. So, who am I to judge?

I think I could accept policing being reasonable, if it turned out that it did on average prevent injuries or deaths, and that my feelings about what's too intrusive might be irrelevant, biased, or lacking data.

The faithful need periodic reminders of the vision of the future into which they are buying.
a. You can use parking / traffic data to find neighborhoods most likely to have available street parking and look for parking there.
As for solving the problem of when you're allowed to park somewhere, this is already being worked on [0][1] and I would put money on it being ready before autonomous cars.

b. Use parking garage app to find the best balance between distance and price of parking for the time needed.
As far as determining if the garage is full, many garages have sensors now that count how many open spaces there are. It would not be stretch to assume that by the time autonomous cars are ready, this data will be available within the parking apps.

c. One of the cool things about having a computer make these decisions is that it can factor in a limitless amount of data to make the most efficient decision. Kind of how Google Maps gives you different transportation options when you ask for directions, you could do the same with parking.
The car can ask you, which of these options would you like:

1. Drive 30 minutes in this direction and you can park for free. Cost for power to drive there: $1.12 - Time to summon: 30 minutes - Cost for parking: $0.00

2. Park in a parking lot around the block: Cost for power to drive there: $0.08 - Time to summon: 5 minutes - Cost for parking: $10.00

etc...

I agree with you though, parking is a huge issue in the city and I really can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet. We are getting there, but very slowly.

There are many reasons. Life re-uses structures, hormones, and proteins in different areas of the body for different functions. A mutation can make a structure more efficient in one area and have little effect in another... for now, but many mutations later that mutation can become a key enabler of a whole new class of features from the secondary structure.

It may also be that the gene doesn't confer any specific advantage but a population bottleneck or isolation event can spread it nonetheless.

I actually met plenty of people who say "oh, they just need to have less accidents than humans and we are good".

No, that's absolutely not true. For the most recent example - someone made a raspberry Pi controlled insulin pump. Insulin is actually incredibly dangerous to humans if you get the dose wrong, so making an insulin pump based on hardware that does not conform with highest safety standards is just not acceptable. You know what the person behind it said when it was pointed out to them? That it doesn't matter, because raspberry Pi is still going to kill less people than the number of those who die through incorrect injections due to tiredness or simple mistakes. That's absolutely incorrect - even if such machine lowered the overall number of deaths due to incorrect insulin injections, no one would ever allow it on any market ever. No company would ever get its way out of "poor hardware choice lead to death of Mr. Smith" by saying "hey, but actually, our machine kills less people than would die naturally due to similar causes each year, so you can't hold us accountable, right??".

To me, it's the same with automatic cars - they cannot merely "have less accidents than humans". They need to have 0 accidents or they won't be acceptable. That's why the bar is high. If you are in a situation where a choice is between hitting a pedestrian or running under a semi and possibly killing everyone in your car, no one is going to blame you for doing either - our primitive brains probably are going to go with whatever seems most logical at the moment, you can blame anything on adrenaline. Computers don't have that luxury. They need to make a calculated choice - and then whoever makes them(the computers) has to live with that choice. The computer chose to hit the pedestrian - now the company who wrote its code is being sued for millions - no matter how they frame it, that's not a situation anyone wants to be in. Of course I'm going off into theoreticals here, since we don't actually have this problem yet. But I am sure it will become an actual problem and it will need to be solved one way or another before widespread adoption.
This course is more of an introduction to statistics.
Languages aren't inherently secure or insecure. In any case, nobody was accusing Node.js of being insecure here.

JS is not "the only language that is secure enough to run universally in every browser on the planet." In fact, JS has had many, many security issues in browsers.

Rather, JS is the only language nearly every browser on the planet has implemented in the browser (hopefully sandboxed!)
Maybe the product designers and product providers should be more explicit about how their product should be used and who their target demographic is, if they want a successful product, rather than making everyone "figure out" what they are trying to achieve and how.
Here's the original article from Bloomberg Business that this article ripped off: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-07/business-s...
Your dad's computer didn't ship with Windows 8. His graphics card is from 2007, and Windows 8 shipped in 2012 (Windows 7 in 2009).

Windows Vista, which was originally on your dad's computer, isn't supported by the Windows 10 free upgrade promotion, and by extension a lot of hardware from that period also isn't supported.

So you want to know why your dad's computer isn't compatible? It is too darn old.

> What should the response to this sort of fraud be?

You should be compensated every penny that the Windows 10 upgrade cost you: Zero dollars and zero cents.

But snark aside for a second: Microsoft is trying to offer the best user experience. They would prefer NOT to upgrade a user who will wind up with a poorly supported system (e.g. an 8 year old graphics card not supported by the manufacturer on Windows 10).

According to Nvidia's website, they do not offer a Windows 10 driver for that specific chipset. Windows 7 seems to be the latest driver.

So while I'm sure Windows 10 can fall back to a Windows 7 64 bit driver (just as I suspect Windows 8 did also) there is no assurance of how well this graphics driver will work with Windows 8/8.1/10 specific features.

It might work but Nvidia or Microsoft aren't making assurances. I agree with them, it is "incompatible." It works, but who knows what edge cases may appear.

Ultimately your tone for a completely free promotion and calling it "fraud" is utterly pathetic.
I think you are talking about something known as hitchhiking mutations. Suppose an organism develops two mutations A and B, which lie close together in the chromosome. A is beneficial and B is neutral. When the chromosome is copied during reproduction, the copy will contain both A and B (because they are nearby). This copy will have an overall advantage because of the presence of A, and will spread in the population.

> There's an old idea of unsafe fields that would come up for datatypes. It can be emulated with a Unsafe<T> wrapper that has unsafe methods to get references to its interior, or to read/write. It's not widely used, or used at all afaik, since the gains aren't that great. People writing unsafe code generally know the issues, and that privacy is the #1 way the abstraction boundary is maintained.

As someone who recently got stuck in poor option execution situation, this is great. It is certainly better for companies to compete with each other on transparency and honesty - rather than foosball and free meals.

A big problem is all the inertia in the marketplace where Option Pools, and policies of many companies are already established and written into investment rounds, legal paperwork and usually needs a board decision that may not be in their own interests.

It would be awesome if Glassdoor has some sort of info about this(Option Exercise Policy: XXXX) per company.

"As the original developer writes, porting the whole thing to a different API would be too demanding for his schedule. Perhaps someone else might want to pick up the project/create an OSM fork?"

Yes, a fork of some sort would be good. Future cartographic software tools should look to OpenStreetMap before google.
"Why would you want a vehicle that sits idle 90% of the day?"

I don't, but I do want access to a cheap to operate vehicle that I can load my kayaks on top of and my camping gear inside of and then go drive to a river as far away from everyone else as I can get (9 hour drives are not uncommon). This is why an electric car will not meet my needs for the forseeable future. <30 min charging stations need to be as common as gas stations for me to even think about it.
If you're gonna read stuff like that, understand that it probably makes you dumber. At least, posting it makes you look dumber. Calling something a "turkey" after a day is as dumb as calling it an "x killer". Things like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc take years to become successful.
It's mostly consumption, but there are some opportunities for creativity.

It looks like they've gotten some engagement, with people creating little games.

Though it sounds like you're agreeing with me, that is not at all what I was saying.
Live performances - theater, concerts, stand-up comedy, sport events, etc. - these would still be paid well (IMHO). It's the things that get copied easily that won't.

Same might happen with software - as more and more software moves "online" you won't be able to "copy-it" - you need to subscribe to a service and use it.

I'm gladly paying for "netflix", as $10 seems not much off our budget, and even it it doesn't have the latest shows I'm satisfied, in case I need to see (say Outlander, or Badlands - there is Vudu, Hulu, Google Play, Amazon, many others..)

But DVD/BluRay copying is gonna get easier and easier, and streaming and trying to save to disk to play later is going to get more cumbersome and cumbersome, to the point no significant amount of people would really bother.

Games fully running behind servers, with the video being streamed, would be impossible to copy - it won't work for Street Fighter, Racing Games and First Person Shooters very well, but there are plenty others for which this would be totally acceptable - heh, especially my favourite genre - Turn Based Games & RPGs :) :) :)

> It would be nice if Netflix made it easier to browse content ...

It would be even better if they fixed recommendations. If you do not use a web browser - ie use Roku, Chromecast, Android etc - then you cannot mark something as "not interested". So it keeps showing you the same thing over and over again, that you do not want to watch. Makes the service seem dumb and hostile. Don't get me started on them showing you stuff you already watched and don't need in the prime positions for recommendations - it is already watched.

Even more bizarre is how they predict how many stars you'll give something, which seems fairly good. And then go ahead and recommend items with few predicted stars.

I'm almost convinced that all their developers only use desktops and browsers, so they don't even realise what they do to those on other platforms.
