> If it's a good enough name for airplanes, it's a good enough names for cars

* The real autopilot doesn't require hands-on-the-yoke while it is engaged, but 'autopilot' does.

* Airplanes don't have to deal with complex traffic conditions requiring interaction with other airplanes

* Airplanes do not smash into lane barriers/trees if they veer a few feet off the expected course

* "Taking control" on an airplane could safely take tens of seconds, but for a car, that is far too long.

So no, autopilot isn't good enough for cars. Cars need something much better.
That's going to hurt in the lawsuit, isn't it?

The "democracy vs autocracy" graph seems disingenuous, as it shows the _sum_ of scores and not the mean. If the number of democracies has been increasing, the graph may show the same trend it shows without the democracies actually being better. And the biggest shift in the graph happens, unsurprisingly, when the USSR falls, which switches the score of all its countries from one side to the other.

I feel that the hype for self-driving cars is the same as it was for VR in the 90s

We had to wait another 15-20 years for those feverished VR dreams to become a reality

I reckon it'll be the same for self-driving. We are 20-25 years away, not 5-10
I don't know about most people but there are some things (like cars), that I treat as super-reliable machines that will protect me even if I do some dumb things. And most car systems are made like that. They assume that the driver is going to fuck up at some point and they try to handle that. It seems Tesla's auto-drive feature is not like that. It's like when Chrome has a silly bug, I just accept it as it is and try to work my way around it.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Apple changed their minds, but Jobs was very clear in the original iPhone keynote that the Web was the intended development platform for the iPhone and that not having an SDK was a strength — no hints about a native SDK in the near future or anything. Here's a good article showing Apple's original stance, with additional information from the Steve Jobs biography: http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/21/jobs-original-vision-for-the-i...
UBI will not happen. Not because free money are not good for the people — they are. Not because everyone will suddenly get lazy and stop working — they won't.

Because UBI is unsustainable and won't last more than a year. There is not enough money for any plausible scenario. That's why.

And yes, let's give people "free" money and do nothing about hugely overpriced and corrupt healthcare system, education and things. In fact, let's introduce new obligatory payments for everyone!

Who, do you think, might be the most interested in lobbying for _that_?

There is never a valid excuse for mob justice.

They're literally allowing ordinary citizens to kill random people on the street without consequences.

Besides, the reason these people are violent is that they are desperate and mentally unstable. Their state is a failure of society, you can't fix it by just outright murdering people.

The moral choice is the opposite direction: the car should prefer to kill the occupant than a bystander. The occupant is the reason why the car is in use; if it fails, the penalty for that failure should be on the occupant, not bystanders.
I agree their sensor suite needs improvement. I hope they are adding Lidars and/or radars before they start shipping large volumes. A recall of large numbers of cars would kill Tesla

Calling it insanity is not only overly dismissive and chauvinistic, but also not helping in any way furthering understanding.

If you want to solve a problem you have to understand it first and foremost. Just calling it insanity is therefore not only not helpful, but harmful as others might take up that world view and stop caring for a real solution.

I do not have a solution, but am trying to understand how people can be so miserable (be it workers in US voting for Trump, German people voting AfD or people in the Philippines seeing this as a viable option/solution to their problem, when it probably even isn't such).

I can understand being desperate and taking desperate measures. But killing? I am so not able to understand it - even while I am trying to find rational reasons/explanations.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hedonist

Hedonist - "a person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life; a pleasure-seeker."

For the hedonist, pleasure is something to pursue. By having this focus, it gives you more experience of creating pleasure.

"a hedonist would not bother playing games or telling stories with senile parents"

Do you know any hedonists? I know some. They look to make situations more fun (for themselves, but this tends to involve taking others along for the ride). Perhaps you don't believe it's possible to have fun with old senile people, I'd say it's more than possible and I'm not even a hedonist (i.e. someone who looks for fun in a high proportion of their time, someone who is good at doing so).
> The accidents detailed in the Google reports are all from California.

You could have opened the first report[1] on that page and notice this is wrong.

> June 6, 2016:​ A Google prototype autonomous vehicle (Google AV) was traveling southbound on Berkman Dr. in Austin, TX in autonomous mode and was involved in a minor collision north of E 51st St. The other vehicle was approaching the Google AV from behind in an adjacent right turn-only lane. The other vehicle then crossed into the lane occupied by the Google AV and made slight contact with the side of our vehicle. The Google AV sustained a small scrape to the front right fender and the other vehicle had a scrape on its left rear quarter panel. There were no injuries reported at the scene.

Labeling him a drug dealer won't be easy because its difficult to prove that he dealt drugs. The logical thing to do would be to label your victim a drug user instead. Far easier to simply plant some drugs in their house, kill them and collect your medal for saving society.
Tesla may have begun by doing that. Recall that last October autopilot was introduced "over the air", so, customers who already had vehicles could use it immediately. Presumably, Tesla was collecting data up until that point.

I imagine Tesla is generating more sales with a usable autopilot. It generated quite a bit of media hype and they are having trouble keeping up with production demands.

So, Tesla chose to introduce this feature to increase sales and get more data on how drivers interact with the system. It seems excessively risky to me. I'm not building a self-driving system myself, nor running a huge company, so I can't say much about what it takes to do that. I can say I would not like to drive on the road next to a vehicle that can unexpectedly make the wheel turn, forcing its driver to be corrective at a moment's notice.
> It seems Tesla is hell-bent on committing suicide.

It's unfathomable why they don't just concentrate on their core competency (EV technology) and keep their AI experiments in R&D (where they belong).
If you live in one of the few places where you can expect to be able to hail a taxi, you're probably right. If you have to call for a taxi, Uber is infinity times more reliable.
Are you kidding? Have you ever tried to get a cab outside of Manhattan? It's painful even in the downtown core of major cities. And if you live in the suburbs, you have to call like two hours ahead and there's always a good chance they don't show up. In my experience with Uber, drivers are more courteous, billing is more honest, their cars smell better, and bad drivers are held accountable.
this is not remotely like voting for Trump. and it doesn't "so happen" that life is easier in countries with functioning (if deeply flawed) justice systems than it is in ones where corruption and vigilantism rule; there are pretty good reasons for why that is.
I had this T-shirt a friend of mine gave me years ago, it simply had a silk screen on it that said "legalize murder". It was meant to be an ironic liberally extreme idea of granting freedom to do whatever you wanted.

My apologies, I see the ambiguity now in what I wrote.

Regarding the typo, I expected to get a "not found" answer, as "not found" is a better answer than being pointed to somewhere meaningless. I did not expect typo correction, though that would certainly be nice for some cases.

I see now that the search gives the same location as "Göteborg", so may be the default locations of the city. If so, that's odd because it's not near the center of the city.

Nor is it the default address for "Göteborg", as "dalkegatan, Göteborg" goes to some place near Göteborgsvägen on the east side of town. For that matter, "dalkegatan Göteborg" (without the comma) goes to some place on the west side of town.

Given these variations, it's hard for me to trust when an answer is correct, other than by double-checking the results manually.
That was my first thought as well, but then I realized normal people aren't just waiting with stow away guns waiting for the day they can go on a killing frenzy. The type who are like that are possibly connected to drug as wells (as either addicts or part of the criminal machine) which means they are more likely to go into hiding lest they be killed themselves.

Yes, maybe some murderers will slip under the radar, but the numbers so far look good. Only 30 deaths over the country (that's no killing frenzy) and 952 people have surrendered to the authorities. I'd say it's working
Exactly. They are "testing autonomous driving" with human lives. The sickening part is Tesla advocates think this is alright in the name of "progress". I wonder how they would feel if they had a family member die to it. "Data points" right?
Yes, in the last example you can see it as rigging the input data. I replicated the results of the experiment in the paper, and I made some remarks of this sorts in my own report and discussion.

The idea is that a sensitive parameter should not contribute to a decision, so, for example, the probability of group A or group B having access to a loan should be the same:

P(Loan|A) should be the same as P(Loan|B)

This is dangerous, as the discrimination metric is sensitive to biases present in the data. It can, effectively, make it easier for the discriminated group A to get a Loan in comparison to a person in group B in same situations. This happens if the bias is not in the annotations, but in the demographics of the dataset.

This is a really interesting problem, and I don't have answers for it.

"Giving up liberty.." No. Liberty doesn't mean anyone has the right to harm other people. We should be encouraging more liberty, not less. We are not and should not ever be the Soviet Union. The Bolsheviks said the exact same things you are saying -- almost exactly. And no, it won't be different this time. Man is man.

Suffering additional government bureaucracy? No way. It's interesting because I would bet you're opposed to government surveillance yet you are unopposed to increasing the power and thus the tyrannical potential of government. Those things are one in the same.

In a freshman dorm room late at night, we've all had the discussion that communism would be good if it were implemented correctly. However most of us grew up. We realize that human nature will never change no matter how many rainbows we wish upon. Every single time some perfect society attempt has been made, it turned into millions of dead people. Increasing the power of government is to increase the potential for tyranny.

Utopia doesn't exist and it will never exist.

Why you say they will kill random stranger? They kill an addict. Prisons don't have space anymore because gov don't have budget. You are welcome to go to my country and get mug by them. Your view will change.
Tell that to those who are tired of not being safe in their own homes because of the drug lords. Of course it's easy to say he's sick when you live in a civilised place with police protection.
You really think the main reason people aren't grudge killing each other because they are afraid of getting caught ? Look at the murder case % that goes unresolved even in the US - IIRC it was ~40% ? If you wanted to kill someone and were smart about it's probably not that hard to do - unless it's your spouse or something similar that makes you an obvious suspect - in which case it will also look suspicious to anyone investigating if you killed your wife because she was a drug dealer.

As a non-American I find the Trump/Hillary rhetoric extremely weird. Many "liberals" seem to think Trump is Adolf Hitler reincarnate (which is absurd -- he's just a populist). Many "conservatives" seem to think Hillary is an "SJW" (which is equally absurd -- it's evident a lot of her more progressive stances are window dressing rather than deeply held convictions).

Trump is an opportunistic buffoon, Hillary is cold and calculating. But both really just want power at any cost. The differences are not even remotely as significant as voters seem to believe. Sure, they hold opposing views, but neither of them is a saint and neither of them is going to openly do stupid drastic things like telling civilians to murder other people in the streets.

This is such an important point, lost in the punditry.

Twitter gets a lot of love from journalists and people with a profile, who write the articles about twitter and control public perception. They have an interest in maintaining a personal brand and have enough visibility that Twitter works for them.

If you listened to those people, Twitter's biggest problem would be trolls writing mean (and often abusive) tweets about them.

Most twitterers would be lucky to be threatened with the rape and murder of their families, frankly.

Which is why Twitter is dying-- there are so, so, so many news curation and aggregation sources. Twitter isn't even all that good, frankly. Reddit does the job way better. (Still a lot of folks that want to fuck my mom though.)

As a social network, it's crap, has been crap and likely will remain crap. The time-based feed tends towards livelock from professional content producers. Their curation mostly suggests people I can follow who would generally prefer I do not engage with them beyond promotion of their brands and gentle applause.

> The fact is, you do not get radical progress pandering to western styled hypocritical democracy or "human rights". It the reality. A harsh one.

So what's the progress towards then? A totalitarian dictatorship that murders people? That's hardly progress of any sort. I'm quite happy to stay on my high horse if that means arguing for the rule of law and basic decency, both things which Duterte has thrown out the window in his quest to rid society of 'problems' by getting vigilantes to murder people.

Hating on democracy and human rights because they're 'Western' (and usually by extension 'Imperial') really annoys me. It's a stupid, petty argument that is continuously peddled by figures in non-Western countries as a justification for doing whatever they like.

Why would you take a taxi over Uber? In my experience, Uber drivers are more courteous (probably because they know they get rated at the end of the ride) and arrive faster than taxis (in San Francisco). That being said, when I was living in Shenzhen, taking a taxi was more convenient because there are just so many of them and waiting time is really short.
