Liability is a crucial area of the law that needs to evolve in response to software.

Liability with respect to the operation of physical products is well understood. There are private standards that insurance companies and courts are familiar with (for example: Underwriter Labs, NIST, NSF, ANSI). If your product passes the relevant standard, and a customer causes harm with the product, then you've got a great argument that your company should not be held liable for that harm.

Software licenses almost always just try to disclaim any and all liability entirely. "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE"--anyone who has read a software license has probably seen language like that.

Then on top of that, software is increasingly networked with centralized services. Tesla's self-driving technology, as described so far, will be dependent on data made available over the network--like whether the radar return at a given location is a known billboard. So liability will attach to not just the car, not just the software, but also the real-time service run by Tesla.

Companies use liability as a major reason to restrict the rights of consumers. We need industry and legal frameworks to allocate liability for software and services like we have for physical goods.
Isn't a good chunk of depression genetic? That is, sure, it's a reaction to an unhealthy environment, but you have to have the predisposition that makes you respond with depression, otherwise you just deal with it?
I think a couple of things will help alleviate this problem:

If you are a real estate agent with irregular driving patterns, there will be other patterns that are consistent. For example you (and your key fob) always being in the car. You would go from your home/office to several different addresses, then back to home/office.

Also, I'm sure that when tesla sent the warning the best action would be to explain the situation. If that fails, tweet Elon.
I'm fully supportive of self-driving vehicles, but arguments like this don't do the "pro-selfdriving" any favors.

"Autopilot v1" miles are also largely on freeways and conditions favorable to the driving-assist features. The 1 in 90 million is comparing to all cars and not just other cars with driving-assist. I don't think many people would argue that driving-assist is more dangerous than without. The 1 in 90 million is across far more driving conditions, many of which are more dangerous than what the Tesla Autopilot is driving in.

The comparison between the two isn't really a fair comparison and, in my opinion, is dishonest.

E:

In addition, picking any random model car may yield similar statistics. "Car accidents involving a Honda Civic per mile driven" is probably a lot higher than "Car accidents involving a Pontiac Firebird per mile driven". Because there are more Civics on the road... Firebirds may be in fewer accidents, but my money is on the Civic being a safer car.

Interesting comment. I've played soccer from a young age, and I can definitely see online <--> offline experiences influencing each other.

The biggest area has to do with the use of space; when to expect other players to make runs, when to receive the ball and pivot and switch the sides. I of course would have those instincts from playing for real, but having gotten to do them in-game (with a nice top-down view) has helped me think about my play in real life.

One thing to try if you haven't - play a Fifa player career locked to a specific player. A lot of feels like real life - off the ball movement, finding space, when to call for a pass, etc. Obviously not 100% true to life but felt closer to real life than typical Fifa.
Or it's common, but it doesn't last once it starts developing the technology required to broadcast its presence, so we're all separated by time. We certainly don't appear likely to last very long, as a broadcasting species.
FWIW, most languages that can generate native code can generate shared libraries, and will usually have instructions for how to call the libraries from other languages.

Here's how to do it Haskell, for example: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.6.3/docs/html/users_gui...

That said, if optimization gets to the point where re-writing in a different language is a good idea, most people just jump to C or C++, or in this case Rust, because they're the fastest.
Right. That's also what I typed in the search query, but then there was Mao in the first image and then somone would claim it was in fact communist and not soviet propaganda after all. I guess that soviet propaganda is the best term for the graphical ism, but I wonder if there is a better term. It's all quite awesome.

> the proliferation of different kinds of neural net architectures that work, over the past few years, is a sign that we lack a decent unifying theoretical framework that can explain, from fundamental principles, what works, what doesn't, and why

Could you elaborate on this?

I ask, because it's not obvious to me that this is true. Physics, for instance, has had proliferations of new "particles" both because they lacked a solid understanding of a phenomena (but knew how to tweak the setup to vary the result) and because they had a new, solid theoretical framework that was able to accurately predict whole classes of new particles. (There's a bunch of unstable particles related to the electroweak interaction that are from this, for instance.)

As someone who has reached "journeyman" at the topic, it's sort of hard to tell if people are just tweaking the setup to get new experimental results they can use to brute force theory building or whether they're setting out on a specific research path on solid theoretical grounds. (I expect that it's a mix of the two, with different shops being different blends, to be honest.)
A comment from the iPod thread: "AAPL is going down fast! - Mmmm. APPL is already down $1.00... Looks like the markets aren't looking too favorably on Apple's new forays into the digital device market." [1]

Today on Yahoo Finance: 'Tesla Falls After Announcement - Tesla Motors (TSLA) fell nearly 2% and remained in the lower parts of a six-month-old consolidation. Late Wednesday, Tesla said all of its new vehicles will be equipped with hardware that enables fully autonomous driving "at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." [2]

One irritation that has popped up for me is that I was unable to combine my domain names into one registrar. I managed to move most of them over to Namecheap, but they won't accept transfers with a .ws TLD, so that one remains at register.com. I suppose in theory I could move to Nuages and manage everything from one account, but something tells me I'd just end up using all 3 and my situation would be slightly worse off than it is now.
The age control and granularity of control over what my son can do is far superior on the Nintendo consoles than either the PlayStation, Xbox, iOS or Android.

And yes, my ex have had total freak-outs over several of the other platforms due to ridiculous decisions (Plants vs. Zombies on the Xbox making it an outright pain to find out not to have random strangers suddenly broadcast their conversation to you - seemingly without realising - and liberally using the n-word, for example... whoever thought it was a good idea to have player audio broadcast without making it easy to mute on either end without muting all in game sound is a total idiot), or numerous iOS games that are otherwise great that allow unrestricted chat where my son has several times come across rather disgusting behaviour.

In general I'm not so worried in my sons case - he knows what he's not allowed to tell people, and he knows what not to repeat, but I can see why a lot of parents would find many games that otherwise would be perfectly age appropriate problematic to let their kids play.
> It's strange to see this behaviour as someone living in Germany, where you are supposed to, by default, drive in the right lane if you are not overtaking another car or there is a traffic jam...

That used the be the norm in the US as well, but it has broken down over the past few decades. Some studies and motorist groups blame the nationwide 55 mph speed limit imposed in the 70s due to oil shortages. Slow drivers suddenly felt safe driving in left lanes and a whole generation has learned to drive like this. [1]

There are laws in many states against impeding traffic in the left lane [2], but they aren't that enforced. You also see signs occasionally on the highway, but my issue with these signs is that they say "Slower traffic keep right" (instead of eg, "Stay right except when passing"). I strongly suspect that very view people view themselves as "slow drivers" -- rather everyone tends to believe they drive the appropriate speed and everyone else is driving too slow or too fast.

I'll add that SAFEcode and Softbound+CETS automatically make C programs memory-safe against lots of problems. There was also the Clay language that could've been updated. C0 is a subset that was easier to verify used in Verisoft's microkernel and apps. Rod Chapman found an error in reference implementation recoding it in SPARK Ada. So that could be used.

All kinds of things could solve the C-level problems or substitute with a C wrapper but nobody cares enough to do it.
If Nintendo will support Vulkan on Switch, that would be good.

This looks more interesting though: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smachteam/smach-z-the-h...

And it's supposed to run Linux. Recent AMD GPU means it will work with amdgpu/radeonsi for OpenGL and radv for Vulkan eventually.

However after disastrous Jolla tablet crowdfunding, I'm not so eager to back hardware campaigns anymore. But I'll surely buy such device if they'll pull off making them in the end.
I think that partly depends on the alternative. If it's a choice between "take photos including people who don't want to be photographed" and "don't take photos", I think a lot of people will take the first. If there's an option of "take photos, and people who don't want to be photographed can bugger off, just don't inconvenience me", I think a lot of people will happily take that one.

Yeah, except that in reality, socioeconimc conditions are often tied closely to race. That doesn't mean that e.g. blacks are inherently more likely to commit crime than Asians, but certainly blacks are a more impoverished race in general. That leads to higher crime rates, so it's certainly not racist to be more fearful of that group of people in general, it's just a learned behavior and a reflection of reality.

I like VR, but I agree with you. I'm happy Nintendo is trying something different again, even moreso that this actually looks like a good idea (as opposed to the trainwreck of product and marketing that was the Wii U).

If we're continuing the iPhone metaphor from the GP, note that Apple is almost always late to a market segment. When the iPhone was released, Windows CE had owned the smartphone segment for years. The iPod was hardly the first hard drive mp3 player. Apple Watch wasn't the first smart watch. Etc etc etc. Apple makes good products, not innovative ones. It is not at all unthinkable that someone else will release a better self driving car after Tesla, and win marketshare.

Let me compare this sentence with a similar example. When Obama says something like "we've been blind to the unique mayhem that gun violence inflicts on this nation", does that mean he's advocating being blind? Is he explaining why he supports more mayhem? Is he literally talking about himself, or is this a different use of the word "we"?

Is it possible that sometimes people exaggerate a position of the establishment that they are themselves a part of, in order to make a point and push for a change?
If you're advocating that kids play more in the streets, practising these motor skills coupled with actual competitive decision making, then I absolutely agree. But these sorts of skills coupled with bad decision making gives you incredibly frustrating players like Ross Barkley.

The Teslas sold in October 2018 don't need to have the same sensors as the ones sold in january 2018. As you can see, the car is designed modularly. No other mass marketed car on the planet has any sensors integrated yet.

It's all about big numbers. Google has spent 5 years or more driving a few cars around California. It's never going to match billions of miles driven around the globe.

EDIT: Imagine the engineers working at Google's autonomous cars today. I bet many of them are preparing their resumes for Tesla. They can launch an algorithm or a new sensor type now, wait a few months and then get the feedback on how it worked. With Tesla, they will get that feedback in days. In which lab would you want to work if you want to take part in shaping the future? In the Google lab where you have a Lexus or two assigned to you that drive up to 25 miles per hour in California or in the Tesla lab where you have 2,000 Teslas assigned driving in 50 different countries?
Unless there is a separate GPU contained within that docking station that is extremely unlikely to have the processing power of a PS4/Xbox One and especially so the PS4+ and Xbox One+. That would mean that either some games could not be played while in mobile mode or they will be degraded significantly performance/graphics wise when in mobile mode.

There is just no way they could pack the hardware/cooling/battery into a mobile device.

I'm an iPhone 7+ / Verizon owner in Manhattan. The phone works really well once the 10.03 update with the 1.00.05 Firmware upgrade for the Qualcomm Baseband Modem. I've gotten download speeds of over 100 MBits/sec.

For those interested, the iPhone has a Test Mode which displays relevant signal information by calling 3001#12345# .

Usually the phone starts with Band 13 and then switches to Band 4 or Band 2.

I do wish that Apple sold the phone using the full feature set of the Qualcomm X12 MDM 9645 modem. Especially places with high population density and very large building that block signal it would be nice to have better signal that the use of 4x4 MIMO 256 QAM would provide.

> The piece does not say "never leak emails ever", the piece says "only link emails that are of civil interest", which is exactly the position that Snowden has been espousing for some time.

The problem is that what is of civil interest is subjective. For example the transcripts of Clinton's speeches to wall street wouldn't be of civil interest except that she's running for public office. Hell, a strong case could be made that all communications of any government official or employee at any level is of civil interest. That's sort of the point of FOIA. Too bad that politicians and functionaries have been working hard to expand the boundary of what is protected from FOIA requests.

> The suggestion here is that honoring anonymously leaked troves of emails without considering their civil merit is itself a back door around the fourth amendment. At some point the government will anonymously leak something to wikileaks and use it against a citizen.

The government already indiscriminately gathers private data, picks through it, brings charges, and then lies about the provenance of the data. They call it parallel construction. It's too late to be worrying about whether the powers that be are going to skirt the constitution, it's a done deal.
Right, but the parent comment was questioning the widsom of installing the hardware in every car. My point is the pricing model is that people using the software pay for it. The price of putting the hardware in the cars is probably low, and also Tesla probably benefit from the data gathered by that hardware anyway.

Tldr: I suspect Tesla know what they're doing with the pricing of this thing.
It's a bit different because they're actually selling (parts of) that business unit – a holding is evaluated as single entity.

Oh, and H&M frequently does small shops in locations without such laws as well. They often have separate stores for men/women/children or along segments of style (i. e. stores with only formal menswear). It could be marketing, availability of retails space or an attempt to remain flexible.

It's also not too hard to make such laws airtight, or to leave some details to the executive branch which can react much faster.
Maybe it just illustrates that tolerance is a sham and one ideology will conquer the others.
Very unlikely that this has performance that competes with Sony and Microsoft. This is an integrated GPU on a battery-powered device with limited thermal regulation. The PS4 and Xbox One are always plugged in to AC and have plenty of space for a proper cooling system.

That's OK, this time the console actually takes advantage of weaker performance to offer a better form-factor. Whether that tradeoff satisfies consumers is yet to be seen.
Especially since this is trying to put a positive spin on Tesla having to announce that all their newly shipped cars will now come without those features that already existed in other cars for quite some time, and that anyone who purchases a car with them will not actually have those features until they're reimplemented and patched back in.
