I don't think the iPhone had iOS 10 ;). Apple is a pretty good analogy for what Tesla's HW/SW plans seems to be. "Reasonable" backwards software support (at least compared to the otherwise "none") while iterating hardware.
I suppose it was to show how much he believes in his own product, if he demonstrates that he trusts it to drive him around safely. When you see an "inventor" testing their own product it is usually good press. Given, I realize he is not the "inventor" per se (more of the "enabler"?), but still it is a show of good faith in one's own product.

Not because of hero worship.

I can't say I've ever seen a video of Elon riding in a self driving Tesla before, seems like it would be very tangible proof how much he trusts the autopilot.
At the end of the article, Football Manager (an extremely souped-up version of FIFA's manager mode) is briefly mentioned as having influenced data analysts and scouting. I wish they had dug into it more. The connection between video games and scouting seems more direct than the one to on-field play (until we get really good VR).
These cars are actually robots. In disguise.
Payroll: An Overlooked Area in FinTech
This makes me think strongly of Matthew B. Crawford's books ("The World Beyond Your Head", "Shop Class as Soulcraft"). He focuses directly on difficult techniques like this, things that require both intellectual focus and physical technique to master - craftsmanship. He believes that this is the finest work we can do. Pure intellectual abstraction doesn't exercise our minds fully, we need to engage with the physical world and its complexities as well.

Think about it - this is so incredibly sensitive to the exact consistency of the pasta dough, it must change by temperature, humidity, time of day, barometric pressure... to make it work, she just has to feel the pasta, to know pasta in a way that can only be done with years of manual effort.

That's why they can't build a machine to do it. They can't control the conditions well enough.
My general concern with this type of service is that the strings could wind up directly in a rainbow table and that might defeat one of the reasons for using it.

Not an accusation, just an observation about the limits of the service.

Good luck.
Of course it would be nice if Tesla could just release some sort of API for giving inputs to their cars, coupled with a cast-iron waiver that makes clear that they are not responsible for any consequences or damages.

However, they know that won't hold up in the court of public awareness/opinion, and that if people messing with their Teslas end up causing lots of problems, that legislatures and regulators are more likely to clamp down on self-driving cars generally. Which is the opposite of what they want.
Assuming that they have the CVR tape, that would preclude any official investigation and piss off anyone who might be inclined to help if they managed to scramble through official channels.

Further, the CVR tape might not be spectacularly useful for a controlled flight into terrain accident in instrument conditions. There is a fair chance that the first problem the cockpit crew encountered was the impact.

On the other hand, it might show navigation equipment failures-say those VOR transmitters-and traffic control communication problems.

I used to play college level football in the US and Brazil, and I can tell you for sure: these kind of plays are totally usual in Brazil.

But I do understand your feelings, since US football (or soccer as they call it) is more about about physical conditioning than skill.
The Switch uses a custom Nvidia Tegra processor which would give it at minimum the performance of the PS4, likely better: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/10/20/nintendo-switch/
I doubt traditional auto companies will spread FUD at first, they are gonna see this as the next shiny new thing. This is their tape -> CD moment, everyone needs to replace their hardware, it's a bonanza.

When they truly understand that it's going to turn them all into taxi makers, that owning a car is completely passé, they'll panic. That will be their DVD -> streaming moment, but it will already be too late.
Have any of Altman's critics taken a step back and realized that they are telling him that he is morally obligated to terminate a productive business relationship over political differences? Are they suggesting that half the country should blacklist the other half and not refuse to do business with them? I think views like this are a result of us segregating ourselves into very narrow filter bubbles - I think it is possible that Marco Arment for example does not personally know any Trump supporters. Scott Alexander has an excellent post about this which I highly recommend (see section III specifically): http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything...
Or maybe it isn't graphics that make the game but rather the gameplay itself?
>what Musk spins, and reality.

The reality is that they are the first serious electric car company. A tiny enterprise that took on the old Detroit giants and is winning.

When you see people putting down hard earned cash for something three years into the future, they are not being tricked, they are investing in disruption. He's such a terrible orator you couldn't describe him as a charlatan. It's his actions and people's wallets speak the loudest.
To be fair, being enthusiastic and positive about the future isn't that useful of a comment. There is only one way to say 'Elon's vision is right and it will happen,' but there are countless, interesting, ways to point out how it might fail. So after the first few excited comments come in, often the only novel thing to contribute is a counter point.

This doesn't mean that the majority of people aren't optimistic about the future, just that their opinion has already been expressed.
> Microsoft is trying to unscrew the single platform nature of dotnet.

This is the largest effort and the longest without overt attempts at screwing people to be customers. I am going to hold out for some more time, I am not yet convinced Microsoft is acting in good faith yet, their history is so bad.

Are they still suing companies for distributing android.
Exactly. This is not something that is solvable by Tesla. It's a deeply rooted societal/legislative/legal-precedence problem.
Wii U devs are already doing that kind of thing. Mario Kart 8 supports a ridiculous variety of controllers from both the Wii and the Wii U, which actually is great if you're me because you can suddenly do four-player Mario Kart thanks to those old Wiimotes lying around!

I hope the Switch can still talk to Wiimotes. Even if they drop sensor bar and the ability to point (which will prevent most Wii games coming to Virtual Console without substantial modifications), being able to pair with one and use the nunchuck or the classic controller would be great for someone like me who has a Wii gathering dust and a Wii U on active service.
Well, I don't think we really know what happened yet, but yes, you have a good point IF that is the case. I have to admit, I let my own biases creep in and was probably assuming he leaked the stuff intentionally.
I think the most impressive part is the end, when the car looks for a parking spot.
I dunno... I never play games except at home now, so there's nothing interesting here for me. It's just gonna come down to whether I want to play Smash / Mario Kart / Mario, like it pretty much has since the GameCube.
You would be in luck with many vintage watches. They are often much smaller (30mm-ish compared to today's minimum 40-42) and there is huge variety.

I have several vintage watches (mostly 50's and 60's), and a few are just a tad small for my average-sized wrist. I particularly like two Lord Elgins I have but never wear, sadly.
no it's worse now. There's also all the PKI required compounding the pain and suffering.

Phusion baseimage-docker seems to help.

Worth nothing Atlassian stepped back and does scaleout approach using regular cloud instead of container orchestration technology. https://www.atlassian.com/company/events/summit/2016/watch-s...

Also worth noting you can take away all the PKI and registry pain and have instant scaling with the registry by using cloud store for registry and having Jenkins gatekeeper be the only writer, all dev and production nodes use the same store only readonly.
What is with all these meta posts on HN recently by people who think they understand HN, and then need to tell everyone that they are not fitting into their idea of HN?

And why are you comparing iPhones to self driving cars? That's like comparing paper airplanes to commercial airliners. Honestly posts like these should be automod deleted.
If it is an ETI sending out laser signals, what are the odds that 234 of them would hit us?
Did they verify it? They only seem to report it. So you downvote me for raising this very valid question? I am asking, I'm not alleging anything. But there is no proof being shown and that's just a fact. I don't know why you bring the BBC in, nothing I read indicates they personally went there. It seems like they only talked to the woman, so what the BBC knows does not go beyond to what she believes. Is asking about an issue already offensive?
82% of Americans do not live in cities. Rather, they live in areas classified as urban (which really means not rural) by the census bureau. Here's the definition: "To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must encompass at least 2,500 people, at least 1,500 of which reside outside institutional group quarters."

Yes, I'm guessing that many of those urban areas are within half an hour of a freeway--though this may be less true in the West. But the vast majority of those 82% don't live in places that are remotely walkable.
Good point on Apple (their stuff is overpriced and underperforming--their screens are crap, for instance), but with Tesla, yes: their cars aren't that expensive, that honor goes to companies like McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, etc. You can easily get a Tesla for well under $100k. That's a lot compared to a Honda, but not compared to a Ferrari or Bugatti or a high-end BMW or Mercedes even. There's no shortage of cars topping $100k out there.

More importantly, Tesla's whole approach is to aim at the higher end of the market (people with $70-110k to blow on a car) to fund their R&D so that they can push to the middle portion of the market ($30-40k is the target price of the Model 3). So they haven't gotten there yet, but all indications are that this is where they're going in the next couple of years, so yes, affordability is a key component of their decision-making.

Even Apple isn't that bad: their phones are overpriced, but their direct competitors aren't that much cheaper for the main product (phones or tablets). Apple makes a bunch of money by trapping its customers into its walled garden and making profits off the apps they buy, the music they buy, profits from overpriced accessories like cables and headphones, license fees from 3rd-party accessories by using proprietary patented connectors, etc. So there's a certain focus on "affordability" there too: they try to price their stuff low enough that fashion-middle-class people aren't going to completely balk at it (monthly payment plans linked to carriers help a lot here), but high enough to get a good profit, while using the other tactics I just listed to get really obscene profits overall.

Almost every company has to worry about affordability to some degree. The only exceptions are ones which cater to truly wealthy people, companies like Vertu (horrifically expensive phones costing $20k!), Rolls-Royce cars, various handbag companies, etc. If you want the middle class to buy your stuff, affordability is going to be part of the design process somewhere, to some degree.
It is unfortunate Nintendo still operates their online purchases this way. Many other platforms (XB Live, PSN, Steam, et cetera) tie purchases to the account. Nintendo's way goes against expectations.

I hope Nintendo spends a little more resources to improve on the online side of things alongside the new Switch console (store, online multiplayer, interaction with friends...); they are severely behind compared to their competitors.
I wonder how this could be set up to work on error pages; could this keep pages working even if the server returned a a 503? Such a concept would be pretty useful for a media company, like the one I work for, which mostly serves static content.
I was arguing against the trivialization of web dev -- this isn't web development -- while I agree that self driven car is one of the highest level of critical. But that said, people can equally suffer, if not so visually, due to financial app bugs. I shudder to think of state of people who lost lot of money in hacks on MtGox and other Bitcoin exchanges for example.
Morrowind was also built upon the same tech, IIRC.
If you had to you can touch things in the WSL VolFS by browsing the appropriate %AppData% subfolder. I'm presuming Microsoft isn't encouraging that right now with this Interop tooling for several reasons.

At a guess one of them might be that apparently the Unix things like permissions and Unix-style metadata are stored in NTFS alternate streams (~"resource forks") that they may be worried some Windows programs might not handle quite right (ie, accidentally mangle/remove/destroy).
Well, the Super Game Boy and the Transfer Pak were right along that continuum with the GBA link.
>As a German citizen, it really bugs me that Volkswagen is incapable of this kind of innovation.

What innovation? Autonomous vehicles? Volkswagen is working with Stanford researchers and Mobileye (you know, the people who helped build Tesla Autopilot):

http://www.volkswagengroupamerica.com/autonomous.html

I mean, sure, if you don't leave the front page of HackerNews, you'd think that Tesla is literally inventing this stuff in real-time. But believe it or not there are lots of smart people and companies working on autonomous vehicles. They just don't market as well or as often as Tesla. And in some cases, yes, they're behind.
If you've never had handmade pasta in Italy, you're missing out.

My mother in law makes ravioli by hand for special occasions:

* She mixes the flour, water and salt
* That is then spread out into sheets with the help of a hand-cranked machine.
* She then uses a cutting roller to cut those into the right shapes.
* Then the filling (mix of greens) goes into each one by hand and it's closed up.
* They get cooked.
* At the end they get a healthy bunch of ragù (bolognese meat sauce, if you must) on them.

I feel guilty eating them, because it takes hours and hours to do all that, and then it's gone in a few minutes it seems like.
Oh my god, a sane name for once. It was really getting out of hand with the DS and Wii when the same name referred to several different generations of hardware in a non obvious way. (DS, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, try making heads or tails of that).
Interestingly, I have no issuse on mobile Chrome.
I'm curious to see when cities will start changing their zoning for this new reality. The most exciting to me is elimination of parking minimums - these add a lot to the cost of building anything and take up very valuable/well located space.
That would be a terrible idea.

It'd mean I'd have to buy an iPhone.
Unfortunately, public transit is way less profitable than selling cars to people, so self driving public transit doesn't seem like the top priority, despite having the best net benefit for society
I suppose it gives them time to get it right, rather than rushing to wrap it up, but also tries to pull the old "vaporware" trick of trying to get potential customers to delay purchasing a competitor's product.
Don't get me wrong, I actually -like- the system and it might very well be the first console I buy since the PS3. But practically speaking, I don't think the rest of the market will view this console as favorably as I do.

Clarifications of my original response:

By "me too" I was referring to the original post's point of going x86 in a traditional TV box in the way that XB1/PS4 did.

By "struggle", I was specifically talking about third party software support in the post I replied to. On the TV console front, Nintendo's primary strength going back to the Wii (and maybe further) has always been first party games. Most of the third party games on the Wii and Wii U were not very good. In other words, if you're buying a Nintendo TV console for the third party games, I think that would be a big mistake, regardless of how long the list of committed 3rd party developers is.

Addressing some of your points:

>> Their mobile products are, in essence, "me-too" products that are larger and less powerful than a smartphone

By "mobile products", I assume that you're referring to the DS/DSi/3DS - how are those "me-too"? What other successful portable consoles have that clam shell form factor? If anything, Nintendo's mobile form factors (starting with the original Game Boy) were the ones that were historically copied by others.

>> The years when the Wii outsold the PS3/X360 are not all that far past. If they come out with something different and compelling, the market will respond.

Yes, but the market for gaming is completely different now. Games are no longer the exclusive territory of proprietary tv consoles or portable gaming devices (i.e., psp, 3ds).

On the TV console side, Steam is a legitimate substitute for a TV console. I myself switched to Steam since most of the AAA titles I played (2D/3D fighting games) are now all available on PC and I can bring them with me in the form of a laptop with a discrete GPU. And with Steam, I can regularly upgrade my hardware with full backwards compatibility for my purchased games.

On the portable gaming side, phones and tablets have basically taken over the market. The only reason why I bought a 3DS is so that I can have my fill of 2D/3D fighting games (with a real controller and buttons) in my pocket, but I'm in a very small niche.
> This is the iPhone 1 of self-driving cars! That's akin to saying Apple should have waited to release their phone until iPhone 7 "because of this & that & this..."

Differently from mobile phones, cars actually have the capacity to go horribly, horribly wrong. This is not something to have a "let's fix it in public beta" Approach on.
I love the Spacey visualization tool too. You know about http://corenlp.run/ though?

So I do a lot of work with Twitter data - to the point where I have (many) custom Word2Vec models for Twitter data.

Tweeboparser is good, and the NLTK has a basic Twitter tokenizer built in. But I still often end up using Space for stuff anyway. For example, I was building a custom distance metric to explore Tweet clusters, and the Spacy word vectors were fine to get that working.

It's true that I dropped down to using Gensim or Spark's Word2Vec model for some more complex models though.
I'm not maligning the source, I'm maligning the material. I'm asserting that truth and utility are separate and equally important dimensions of scrutiny. It is not enough that a document be genuine: it must also be of consequence. Many of the Podesta emails are of no consequence whatsoever.
It would help if it restricted variables auto-vivified in a loop declaration to the body of the loop itself, instead of making it available for the entire parent scope. I'm used to working with languages that behave like that.

I'm actually a little surprised something like that hasn't been attempted yet for Python.

Thanks for the answer!
Not sure why you keep talking about the gigafactory as if that's relevant to self-driving cars. Your only point can be summarized in one sentence: they've released a senor suite into the field, and through some combination of Big Data and magical AI, they will win. This, as much as anything else, is a religious belief.

Ultimately, this game is about the sensors. If your sensor suite is inadequate to detect every conceivable bad situation a car can be in, then it doesn't matter how much data you accumulate. One million miles of good LIDAR data is worth more than a billion miles of video, if the video can't see white objects during the daytime, or figure out on what side of the parking lot the car should be driving (ahem).

I have no idea how good or bad their sensors are, but instinct tells me they're not up to the task of all-condition driving, and this video provides no useful information either way.
> Take Tesla 3 pre-orders, for instance. Tesla spins 400,000 pre-orders for a car that you might not receive in the next three years as the most amazing innovation in automobile manufacturing.

Because it kind of is when we're talking about an electric car. Tesla's competitors can't come up with those numbers for EVs combined (even with hybrids). GM is expected to make 30,000 Bolts for next year, for instance (and it may or may not sell all of them).

That said, I'm skeptical the Autopilot 2.0 hardware is a "Level 5 autonomous system". I think a good rule of thumb would be to subtract about "one level" from what Musk promises, as he always tends to be a little overoptimistic, even if what he creates still ends up being better than the competition.

Take the first Autopilot, which Musk said is "Level 2". It's probably more like a real Level 1. It only works under very specific situations, and even when those specific situations are met (a highway) it can still fail, because Tesla may have accounted for US highways but not European ones, or other road quirks. See the recent Autobahn accident because the Autopilot couldn't properly identify "yellow lines" as opposed to white ones.

So yeah, I expect this to be more like Level 4 ... three years from now (as ready for mainstream use, not just a demo). I don't think we'll see true Level 5 until the 2020s. I think there are still many unexpected things Musk and his engineers aren't foreseeing right now.

Peanuts is not a happy strip. It's about childhood. Sometimes that's happy, but childhood isn't fundamentally happy.

The genius of Peanuts is that it shows all of that: Happiness, sadness, depression, existential questions, and so many other things. They're emotions that we can identify with, because they may not be happy, but they're real things that we all experience, even children.

I don't know why you dislike they characters, that's your choice. But in answer to if I find Peanuts depressing: yes, I do. It's optimistic sometimes, but it's not happy, and it's not supposed to be.

Or maybe I'm just completely mad.

Maybe it's a heat sink, too.
But saying "Okay, but we're not responsible for damages" will not fly with regulators, legislators, public opinion or the integrity of their brand. If someone modifies their Tesla to accept input from Uber, and Tesla does nothing to stop them, and it causes a crash or other problems, then there'll be headlines ("Tesla self-driving car stops in middle of highway!"), technology-ignorant bureaucrats will clamp down on self-driving cars rather than the modder who caused the problem, and Tesla will have to spend their time and resources dealing with the problems of unapproved inputs, rather than their core tasks. Easier to say, "just don't do it."
