I think you might be pleasantly surprised by recent results using DL and LSTM for building models of natural language. The next advancement I would like to see is handling anaphora resolution (resolving pronouns to previous noun phrases in text, resolving words like 'there' to a place mentioned elsewhere in text, etc.) Progress has been so rapid that I bet I don't have to wait long.
I'm a big fan of the model where the initial game is reasonably priced and DLC in the form of additional levels or missions is available. If I don't like the game, no big deal because I'm out $10 or less. If I do like it, I can keep buying more of it.

It costs lives because folks are toying with this new thing. If they'd just use it as intended, they'd achieve the higher levels of safety demonstrated in testing.

Yeah, I just blamed the victims for misusing autopilot. Like anything else, its a tool for a certain purpose. Its not foolproof. Testing its limits can get you hurt, just like a power saw.
I'm not surprised, since PR material was probably the source of the information.
>You have made tremendous strides in the area of scientific and technological development. But America, as I look at you from afar, I wonder whether your moral and spiritual progress has been commensurate with your scientific progress. It seems to me that your moral progress lags behind your scientific progress. Your poet Thoreau used to talk about "improved means to an unimproved end." How often this is true. You have allowed the material means by which you live to outdistance the spiritual ends for which you live. You have allowed your mentality to outrun your morality. You have allowed your civilization to outdistance your culture. Through your scientific genius you have made of the world a neighborhood, but through your moral and spiritual genius you have failed to make of it a brotherhood. So America, I would urge you to keep your moral advances abreast with your scientific advances

Tesla Model X 60D
This helps me with a nicer deployment setup. I was always keen on 'rebuild from scratch' rather than 'update stuff and hope you're idempotent and have captured all changes' but transitory data was always the problem. Now I can start building a new updated droplet and the only downtime will be that needed to detach and reattach the block storage containing the db etc.

Anyone see a flaw in this? (I know there are other ways to achieve similar benefits - my files could be on S3 and the database could be a separate droplet etc but these introduced various drawbacks and added complexity)

That doesn't make sense. If you're recording off the 3.5mm jack, then you can record the output of the external dac just as well. Moving the dac out of the phone doesn't make piracy harder.
I think the next software update needs to place limitations on where auto pilot can be deployed.

The real issue is whether or not "Autopilot" is safer than a human or not. If the number of deaths for similar road conditions per distance travelled are less then Tesla should be allowed to continue the way that they are doing things. It's obvious to me the way other systems do this (by slowing down if the user doesn't put his or her hands on the wheel frequently) leads to people not using the feature because it is less useful which may, paradoxically, leads people to have a worse driver at the wheel.

Just the stats, ma'am. Are they safer or not? If so, then it's fine by me. What we gain from self-driving cars in terms of real world usage data is extremely valuable.

iPhone doesn't play some hi-res formats and I suspect new headphones will be even less compatible. Not that I dread about sound quality, but it is an inconvenience that now you need to downsample your music.

I'm not worried.

There is plenty of time for Tesla to reconsider its strategy and for Google to continue building on its good reputation.

It depends a lot on the game. My kids love those musical games where the screen scrolls and you have to tap on the notes.
The autopilot feature seems like one that should be taken through rigorous testing approved by the appropriate regulatory structure before being allowed out on the roads. The fact that Tesla has been able to simply update firmware to include this experimental new feature on their vehicles as they please feels very "wild west" and as much as I don't tend to prefer regulation, this feels like the proper place for it. By the way, this has been my feeling on the matter before any autopilot crashes were reported.
Both true and false. Don't forget that even now there are real-life VIP clubs the entrance to which costs the members pretty penny just so they can drink overpriced wine and convince each other they are special snowflakes, all the while crowding together underground in a place I wouldn't go in even if I am paid to. (And this phenomenon has been going on probably since the early medieval ages.)

Maybe a virtual variant of that can be profitable but IMO it's doubtful. Elitism works best with real-life meetings. Same with snobism.

...Then again, I heard there are people sinking thousands of dollars each month into the dying game named e.Republic just so they can be shown in top-50 charts.

TL;DR: Humans love to pay so they can feel special. Go figure.

What are you talking about? How is a child participating in porn without their consent turned into anything like an adult porn star just because they were paid off when they were older?
I am just thinking of a case where a guy was in court for possession of child pornography, and the porn star flew to the court to show her ID and prove that yes, she was older than 18, despite her small figure. If simple possession wasn't illegal then the case wouldn't even happen. People have also been arrested and lost careers because they had pictures of their own children taking a bath or playing in the pool.

As for consent - it's perfectly legal for anyone to have videos and pictures of murder, despite murder being just as illegal. You can go on google and find videos of beheadings within 5 seconds. Why is that any different? Because some people get off pictures of children? I am sure there are people who get off pictures of murder. My point is - just having pictures of anything(and I mean anything) should not be illegal on its own. Producing them - absolutely. Distributing them - sure. But going to prison for having one? That's just wrong in my opinion.

You can't cherry pick victories and ignore the failures. Hell, I was on Vioxx for a while and now have to worry about heart attacks and strokes more than the average person. Gee thanks FDA!

The FDA also has a long history of whistleblowers to fight FDA corruption. Drugs like Avandia and Rezulin should give you pause.

Yes, lazy bureaucrats, rubber stamping, politics, and monied interests work together to make FDA approval a crap shoot. I never understood this whole "worship the state" aspect millennials subscribe to. The state has its own agenda and its usually counter to yours.
What surprises me more is how blatant it was. These rules were around for at least a few years before the initial charge in 2014, and it's not like WB had a fresh marketing team. They didn't give products, licenses, free showings of films, or anything of the sort (which I believe under the rules is still wrong). They actually gave cash. They should've known this would have been wrong.

Which begs the question: how much was the fine? If it was trivial, that would explain why WB did it; the marketing benefit would've more-than-offset the costs, fines included.
"Some startups ARE technology driven (I bet the Theranos investors wished they did more tech diligence)."

The article specifically addresses this:

"There are, of course, some companies with real technical risk: SpaceX, Zoox, Rigetti Quantum Computing, etc. But for a typical consumer app or SaaS tool, technical risk is low enough to be ignored."

And of course it never hurts to ask a few questions - you can quickly find out if the technical team is on-the-level without examining their entire commit history (and as he suggests, on-the-level can mean lots of different things in the context of an early stage software company, not just "10X engineer").

I think his point is that obsessing over technology when the technical challenges are insignificant compared to the business challenges is silly, and likely to lead to lost investment opportunities.
You are not going to get any objective, fact based argument, here or anywhere else because this is such an emotive issue. Attitudes towards child abusers are pretty close to attitudes towards religious heretics a few centuries ago. "Burn them at the stake" is the only acceptable answer to give in public, lest you be burned yourself. And I understand why that is. I had a family member who was abused as a kid, and I can't think of anything more despicable.

In a better world we'd concentrate on harm prevention: getting non-judgmental counseling and perhaps voluntary castration for men at risk of being child abusers. But that's not "Burn them at the stake", so it's not going to happen in our lifetimes.

The documentary "Pervert Park" is a great but harrowing watch, by the way.

Spun one up and ran some quick numbers on a 100GB volume:

10000000+0 records in

10000000+0 records out

10240000000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 58.0655 s, 176 MB/s

real	0m58.248s

user	0m2.608s

sys	0m41.604s

Some quick observations:

* Easy to add one when creating a droplet; by default they let you create volumes with these sizes: 100GB, 250GB, 500GB, 1000GB, 1.95TB; it's also really easy to create your own size.

* You can resize in any increments; took about 4 seconds to go from 100GB to 110GB with no downtime; you obviously need to resize/manage the mounted volume yourself.

* [Edit 1] Deleting the droplet does NOT destroy the volume. Worth keeping in mind when you spin them up/down.

* [Edit 2] Remounting an existing volume to a new droplet was quick and painless.

I agree with these sentiments, but for slightly different reasons.

One of the main selling points is that commuters can save time (the focus on self driving cars, not trucks/rail). However, long commutes are mostly a constraint imposed by suburban sprawl and associated planning failures. The same applies to automated delivery mechanisms from shops, again of limited use in sufficiently dense communities. In such a scenario, this feels a lot like optimizing 1% of execution time in a program.

For large scale transport of goods or people, the same situation applies for the economics - the labor of the driver should be a small fraction of the operating costs.
There could be some safety benefits, but this remains uncertain. I found https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-05-28/cars-will... quite interesting in this respect.

Seeing what happened with the invention of the automobile, I won't be surprised if self driving cars become the norm somehow. In the most extreme case there might be an outright ban on non autonomous cars at some point in the future. This is something I certainly don't look forward to.
Do you really think putting a micro payment system on any sort of interaction is some sort of success? Obviously, I think a forced micro payment is a horrible idea.

You added "nothing more", which plays the same role as the "just" in "just a theory" - turning a statement in context into a straw-man.

No, certainly. The responsibility is shared, Tesla liable for a sub par product (that is autopilot, not the whole car) abd driver for what boils down to reckless driving. Though I want to note that I'm not familiar with the US legislation on traffic.

Take your learning data back from your LMS provider
I am absolutely certain that having a hard drive full of movies is not illegal - downloading them off bittorrent is though. If you were sentenced, you would be sentenced for downloading them, not for simply having them. Same with a recording - having it is not illegal, but recording me without my consent is. Having a drive full of medical records is not illegal, but break in and theft is. You can legally have a video of a real murder, with murder still being 100% illegal and heavily persecuted.

Do you see what my point is?
Yes, the borrow checker is undoubtedly one part of Rust that's unfamiliar, especially if your background is mostly in GCd langugaes where you can treat ownership and lifecycle concerns with impunity. So there is a learning curve which, when you get your code to pass all the compilation phases only for borrowchk to point out that your design is fundamentally unsound, can feel like a learning wall ;)

But at the end of the day the borrow checker is enforcing a relatively simple set of rules that you can learn and, with experience, intuit. So after a while the number of mistakes you make goes down, along with their severity. And there is payoff too in the ability to do things that would be impossible in Python and challenging in C e.g. write a copy-avoiding parser in performance critical code (not something too relevant to geckodriver, but useful for a so-far-prototype project to replace the log parsing on Mozilla's CI system — used to extract the reasons a job failed, and responsible for about 80% of the CPU time on that server — with a Rust alternative).
