California is particularly bad in terms of laws preventing development. Opponents of development, even for approved plans, can delay them by years by claiming various review processes, particularly environmental, which take a long time.

There are many processes in place to disapprove of something, but none to approve to counteract them.
Maybe because the printer is sold as a loss-leader, assuming you will buy a certain number of ink cartridges. Furthermore they can make the printers very cheaply because:

1) the fancy printing logic is mostly in the printing driver you install on your computer

2) the fancy ink transfer hardware is all in the cartridge
Growing up, we always had Macs, so when my grandma got an old Windows box from a surplus auction, I went to OfficeDepot and bought Anno 1602, a game no one I knew had ever heard of, for $9.

Actually it was a pretty awesome game, despite having different controls from every other RTS; the focus was more on trade than military which was pretty cool. They ended up making a few higher budget sequels as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_(series)

Unknown Horizons is basically a clone of the original Anno 1602, and I've been sort of following the development for 6 or 7 years, always thinking "that would be the perfect open source project for me to contribute to" but sadly I haven't really spent much time playing it and haven't written any code for it.

I actually like using self checkout. It's great for quick purchases, but not so much when you're buying lots of groceries. One thing I usually buy quickly is beer - but here in California, there is a State law against using the self checkout lane for alcohol purchases. This is ostensibly to avoid alcohol theft, but I have a sneaky conspiracy theory it's to make these self checkouts even less used, all to appease the unions and keep labor up.
It is on the list, and notice I said "mass market" vehicles. No other manufacturer, even today, has as many autonomous cars on the road as them. And the ones that do exist are not as advanced as Tesla's.

These other car companies have had so much more time and resources, and they have not pushed the way Tesla has.

3 years is a long time but IMO not enough to being a 100+ watt SoC down to ~20-30 required for that form factor.

That being said, Nvidia is still much more energy efficient graphics wise vs AMD so I could see it getting fairly close - maybe 70-80%. CPU wise though I doubt they'll be as close just because of power.
> While this is the first instance we can think of where a car company has preemptively banned its customers from using their vehicles for a specific use, post-sale conditions imposed by car companies are not entirely unheard of. Ferrari, for example, has been known to insist that customers buying its most expensive cars (like the Enzo or LaFerrari) promise not to resell them before a certain point, and the Italian sports car maker also famously disliked the way one of its high-profile customers had his car wrapped.

Right, but isn't the penalty for going against Ferrari merely that they will refuse to sell to you in the future? The deadmau5 thing was about the "purrari" stuff, not the crazy nylon wrap.

Tesla is attempting to do something far worse.
A couple factors (not exclusive):

- Greater local control over government decision making. This cuts both ways, but there are a couple specific ways it makes transit projects hard to push through. First, it inserts lots of veto points into the process, which a determined minority can use to block the project. If the benefits are diffuse (a more transit accessible city), but the perceived costs are concentrated (they would tear up the street in front of my house, etc.), then it's hard to get the necessary political support to overcome all the vetoes. Second, the politicians making the decisions are accountable to the residents of that area, who aren't always the intended beneficiaries of the project. For example, a rail link that brings commuters to an area might be a huge benefit to the commuteers, but a net negative to the residents.

- Infrastructure decisions are path-dependent. It's hard, both technically and politically, to introduce transit to a community that hasn't been previously dependent on it. Neighborhoods built with cars in mind might not have enough density to support great service, and built-up, expensive neighborhoods (where the jobs are) are often prohibitively expensive to build in. Politically, it's tricky because neighborhoods and regions are going to be mostly full of people for whom the existing infrastructure is already good enough - they wouldn't be there otherwise. New projects are more likely to benefit new people - people who relocate because the new service opens up lifestyle/commuting possibilities that weren't possible before.

- High construction costs. There's ongoing debate about why this is (I won't get into it), but US cities generally have higher construction costs than other developed countries, even for similar projects. 2011 post with some concrete data: https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/us-r...

If I have less than 5 items, the self checkout is usually faster but anything over that and then it's just too trouble to do all that stuff myself.

Type theory is a unifying theory of program semantics. It is one among many, each of which is a facet of one whole. In particular, the theory of algebraic and coalgebraic data types is a unifying theory for computation that allows one to derive efficient algorithms automatically. It does not encompass all algorithms design by a long shot, it is actually quite niche, but as a coherent mathematical theory that gets to the essence of computation, it is very promising.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has access to a library and is interested in seeing algorithms from the thousand-mile-high point of view: https://www.amazon.com/Algebra-Programming-Prentice-Hall-Int...

I suppose the point of my comment is that theoretical computer science is actually a field with a lot of unifying theories that approach computation in coherent ways. Applied computer science is much, much messier because it is interested in the particularities and flaws of real world computational models and getting practical results now, leaving explanations to come later.

There are unifying theories of inference for AI, but they don't really cover deep neural networks. There are a few tantalizing hints that deep learning is intimately related to profound concepts in physics (renormalization) and functional programming.

I know how intrinsic work, thanks. Use them a lot in C++.

C99 language spec says nothing about the things you’re talking about. It only specifies the language, not how C compilers implement various features.

From the programmer’s point of view (except when the programmer works on the compiler itself), intrinsics are just C library functions, only inline, and very performant if done right. Fully compliant with C99 and C++ language specs.

> How will that work with liability if somebody sends their self-driving Tesla out to work under a ridesharing app that feeds bad inputs to it?

Okay, Tesla's reasonable licensing agreement has a liability waiver when using the app for ride-sharing outside of certified applications.

That's a pretty reasonable piece of licensing. It's also not unheard of to state that a piece of equipment is not warrantied or you waive liability if used in commercial ventures, or outside of normal operation.

I'd be fine with that. It places responsibility on the owner of the car.

edit:

I also have no problem with Tesla not facilitating ride sharing. If the limitation to their network is just because the software makes it difficult to use a third party app then so be it.

Self checkout is almost mandatory in many UK shops.

Wait in a long slow line for a regular checkout, or short-to-no line for self-checkout? Easy choice. Very fast once you get the hang of them, and no chit-chat!

The only time I sometimes prefer the human checkout is when buying alcohol as you need to call over an attendant to approve your purchase, which is a little annoying.
It may be more beneficial to train for just body feature recognition instead of skin tone because last I saw, from the neck down women have only so much variance across body shapes.

We already have a huge amount of homemade porn by people all across the world, but the dataset is not very well labeled compared to professional mainstream porn and that will impact the research.

In other posts I've seen, generative networks produced biases unrelated to what people consider NSFW such as brighter lip color, so I think restricting features related to anything above the neck or below the knees from impacting the CNNs would be helpful.
It seems like I'm the only person in this thread who's had pretty much nothing but good experiences with self checkout machines. And this is despite the fact that I usually do grocery trips with at least 15-20 items. I don't have a problem with human contact with a cashier, I just prefer self checkout because it pretty much never has lines. I've also not experienced the horribly buggy machines that everyone else here seems to be exposed to.
That face-to-face interaction is unnaturally reducing the performance bonus of management. Think any of the headcount savings $ goes to stockpeople?

A Home Depot person always walks by me in line, saying "Self-checkout is open!" to which I always reply "Never." Craig Menear doesn't need those micropennies for anything other than scorekeeping with his golf buddies.

But these are all just rationalizations. Self-checkout was a broken hassle years ago when I first tried it. I'm not under the impression much has changed, and my sympathies have grown with the labor argument. This seems especially evident in the lack of baggers (and bagging skills) at my local large grocery store. I think they stopped teaching it, but regardless The headcount-reduction engine doesn't result in a business I want to give more money to.
They have automated the surrealist movement. Which goes pretty much directly against the philosophy underlying the surrealist movement. Which the actual people involved with it would probably approve of, as they mostly all moved on from it anyway.

That's not fair. I even gave you a valid scenario of exposure. But there is such a thing as irresponsible exposure that endangers people. They could easily have exposed the issues you're talking about without endangering the people and their information that is totally irrelevant to the information WikiLeaks is trying to get out.
I was referring to this:

>The danger here is that were the government to effectively coop wikileaks itself, which you think is anti-government, it would become a brutal and effective trojan horse.

The malignment is that "the government" would somehow use wikileaks to some negative ends [sneak into our minds?!].

You'll note that the original article doesn't even contain the word "trojan", and only mentions Wikileaks twice -- never in the context of it being co-opt'd by a government.

I'd rather play a good game and lose, than play a lopsided game and win.

I even remember once in my 20s in a local basketball league, we only had four players show up one night, including one fat guy who didn't run and couldn't shoot. We defeated our opponents who had a full bench and a couple of subs, who on a normal night were only slightly below our team's ability at normal strength. Rather than feeling elated that we defeated a full team when we were almost at half-strength, we felt bad for our fellow team, that they had such a bad night that they were defeated in such a way.

Winning is fun and a rush, absolutely, but I've had plenty of boring wins and plenty of awesome losses - there's more interest in a good challenge than a win, per se. If you distill the success of the game (in a local league, at least), just down to win/loss, you're doing it wrong, IMO.
I wonder if anybody has ever suggested offering discounts for using them. I imagine an across-the-board x% off is anathema to the business gestalt.
The iPhone was the first smartphone without a physical keyboard, allowing for a much more functional screen in a convenient form factor, right? I recall it seeming like a non-trivial difference at the time, and clearly a game-changing one.

Public transit doesn't need to be flexible though. Individuals might change their routines every day but when you average the traffic for the whole city the throughtput of the major arteries is very predictable. The biggest priority in these situations is making the transport be cheap and efficient and make it scale to demand.

And just because a mode of transportation is on wheels doesn't mean it flexible. If you look at a Bus Repid Transit system[1] you would notice that the buses are specialized for driving in separate lanes that go in a straight line and the bus stops are custom built (and are less frequent than a regular bus).
