> It's still domain dependent, right? If the rules say we're flattening precipitation and visibility within normal bounds, fine, but sometimes you have abnormal weather and badly-maintained roads

No, it's not.

In Level 4, if there's "abnormal weather and badly-maintained roads", the car must be able to deal with the situation and enter a safe state. It can say "please sit down and wait for assistance" but it may not say, "take over the wheel".

In practice you'd probably disengage the autonomy and drive yourself, you take control and it does not give you control. If you can't sit on the back seat drinking beer or send the car to drive your kids to school (we're not considering legislation issues here), it's not Level 4.

This is an important distinction. "Level 3 in most conditions" is good enough to pass as "full autonomy" for most people, but Level 4 is a requirement for not absolving the humans on board for any legal responsibility.

You may not have followed his link, but this isn't a standard case of "you didn't even read the article". By "the text", he means the actual executive order, which strangely isn't linked from Sam's piece. His frustration is that people are reading the blog post, but seem oddly disinterested in the primary source, which he feels contradicts (or at least complexifies) many of the points that Sam makes.

I wonder if the discussion might be more productive if you switched the URL to the primary source: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3431228/Extreme-V....
Could you please true up the information?
> It's not like Tesla slamming into something on a freeway at full speed.

To be fair, Tesla is not selling a fully autonomous vehicle, yet, people are treating it like one.
in the end only US citizens can decide.
as a devotee for freedom and a world in peace i am very worried about those citizens' last decision concerning POTUS.
i am not a US citizen. and i never felt the need to be one - just because i was lucky to be born in a country where in my opinion there is at least hope left for a better future.

i hope more US citizens "take a stand" like the OP and show how they want their part of the world to be like.

just my two cents - euro cents (a currency used in another union of only 28 states...)
You're better off going for lambda calculus. Which, admittedly, looks more like an esolang than anything else
If it was targeted and they wanted to disrupt it during the inauguration. I'd think they would've had it lay dormant right up until the inauguration.
FTP may look crufty today but it was an excellent protocol for its time, and offers capabilities you can't really get with any other current protocol.

Really, the problem is that NAT is a terrible idea and screws up the idea of a fully end-to-end Internet.
I'd love to see that too. Sales seems to be high for the MBP so maybe there's more quiet supporters than loud detractors. However the very existence of loud detractors about a product line, which historically has had far more fervent defenders than critics, indicates the hardcore users are unhappy overall.

Apple, more than any other tech company, usually attracts the "can do no wrong" type of fans. They're still around for this product lineup but much quieter than usual. That should be worrying for Apple, assuming they still care about Macs.
That's because they are tolerant towards personal choices, not political ones. There's a big difference, and sticking them in the same bucket so you can shout 'hypocrisy' doesn't constitute a useful analysis.
Dumb question: how do these systems distinguish a traffic light? Here in New England at least, there's quite a variety of lights, many different modes (red, yellow, green, flashing red, flashing yellow, no-turn-left red arrow, no-turn-right red arrow, and different light technologies: old-fashioned style, Fresnel lens, slotted shade.

Add to this complexity the weather conditions. Suppose the sun is shining straight at you and you need to squint and shade your eyes just to make out what the light is -- this happens to me frequently -- can the camera see the traffic light and distinguish its color clearly under such conditions?

What about when it's raining, misting or drizzling, snowing heavily, etc. and the traffic lights are these fragmented outlines that you, the human, can heuristically distinguish but a machine might not?

One last thought: suppose it's right turn on red and first car in line is a self-driving vehicle. Can it really look left and safely determine there's enough time to beat the cross traffic? If it's highly conservative and just waits until green, there could be ten irate motorists behind it and guaranteed to honk and curse.

It's exciting technology but there are some very difficult problems to solve. I worry that if these machines can't demonstrate 110% of a human's ability to drive, they simply won't be implemented in many places except some very well defined rigid routes that are free of problematical challenges and variations.
"Almost every member of the GOP I have spoken to knows that these actions are wrong. Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, Kevin McCarthy and James Mattis said so themselves when Trump first proposed his Muslim ban"

NY Times says about Paul Ryan today [1]: "House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said it was right on target."

Which one is it?

It sounds like you're interested in targeting him for harassment.

This is why I'm considering closing all of my social media accounts even remotely linked to my real identity -- reprisal is a very real threat.
Yes - I know a bunch of software developers who excitedly bought one of the new MacBook pros on launch day. And Apple has said that by volume it was one of their best laptop launches ever. I think regarding the new mbps the internet echo chamber doesn't mirror reality.
That's still an oncall rotation, just not outside of "work hours".
When I relocated, they would pay for moving my things (far more than they were worth) but I couldn't get the same amount of money to just buy new stuff.
Apple is aggressively at work with their new depth sensors + SoC and GPU for their new lens wearable.
Are they really learning it then? Memorizing facts without the practical understanding to back that up is pointless, especially nowadays with reference (Google) being instant and cheap.

I have not been impressed with the overall grad population in my CS department, which just happens to be dominated by Indian students. I tutor students who passed presumably difficult and comprehensive exams that can't get through the bridge courses, equivalent to the undergrad intro sequence. Yesterday I worked with a student who was incredibly flustered by the prospect of splitting a string in Java, even after I wrote out the functions to look at, how they worked, input and output examples, etc.

There's also an annual cheating scandal whereby ~90% of new grad students are caught cheating on the first assignment, and we explain that strike 2 involves losing their scholarships.

I can almost have sympathy. Skating through college without any practical understanding and then suddenly being expected to think is probably frustrating. I suspect there is some large structural defect in the educational system causing this situation.

My institution probably doesn't attract students from the most elite universities, but you'd expect a higher quality floor for a group passing rigorous testing and, y'know, getting a diploma.
"After the patient has been removed to a safe area, it is important to immediately begin administration of high concentration oxygen to maximize hemoglobin oxygen saturation. Treatment and monitoring of the patient with CO exposure should continue on scene and en route to the hospital. Continuously monitor SpO2 and SpCO levels, obtain a 12-lead EKG and monitor the ECG en route. Remember that SpO2 monitoring alone is unreliable as you may get a falsely normal reading in the presence of carbon monoxide poisoning."
Any off the shelf product should be fine (there are standards they have to meet). Kiddie and First Alert are both well regarded brands.

I use First Alert personally (they have model with Z-Wave integration that ties into my home automation system). We carry a few Kiddie smoke/CO detectors on the fire truck to install if we notice a home doesn't have one (or if the one they had failed).
Tech companies can also leave the states. Taking the amount of tax revenue they pay abroad will make a much stronger point than adding some banners, and that's before you factor in the deskilling of somewhere like the bay area if the tech companies leave.

Of course, too many of the mostly white male tech company founders and investors are hoping to benefit from things like reduced corporate taxes to care about discrimination that doesn't affect them.
Whether to optimize or not is still no excuse to write poor code or to put no thought in your code at all. I deal with both ends of this all the time :(
America needs a civil war to get its "" together, to wipe out the political establishment that has gone beyond the point of no return
All fair points. I was reading over it again today thinking that it would have been better to write more of it in FORTH. At the time I was prematurely optimizing I think.
I'd say evaluate the actual target audience for this conversation, and choose to not engage an audience that clearly has no interest in anything other than what amounts to tribal warfare.

And that includes the president smearing every source of criticism as "FAKE NEWS!" He exactly represents those who voted for him: ignorant, fearful, angry, reactionary, conspiracy theorists, suspicious and vindictive. There is no possible way of having rational conversations whether smarter or louder. I don't see any point in examining these opinions, it's a colossal waste of time. I'm not responsible for their opinions, or changing them. I think a very decent chunk will have buyer's (voter's) remorse on their own without me having to say a thing about it, and the rest will just dig their heels in.

Ergo, Trump and Trump voters are a distraction. Focus on the effecting policies: non-violent demonstrations and associations, legal recourse, letting local and state reps know how you feel. There are mayors like Marty Walsh who historically have done more to stand up to overreaching state and federal bureaucracy than any U.S. Senator.
When Flash and Acrobat go away completely, Adobe most certainly does care because it has lost its customers.
Excellent information, thank you. So it will be the coalition rather than the largest party. I was hoping for that but could not easily find a source to make that un-ambiguous, precedent is better than anything else.
Watching this video what struck me most was how overbuilt almost all the streets were - they're designed for high speeds and devote essentially all the space to cars. We know how to get at least a 3x reduction in fatalities, as the Netherlands has done, with engineering changes that make human drivers less likely to make mistakes and make their mistakes less costly.
"Never had to reboot". Yet every time I start my sparingly used Windows machine the first thing it wants me to do is reboot to install updates, and it's pretty insistent about it.
Most C compilers do, but those are language extensions, not defined on the language's standard thus not portable across compilers.
Appeals to majority do not make sense when it comes to fundamental human rights; we have a Constition for a reason.

More concretely: majorities of Americans once believed that African-Americans could be someone else's property or that a trans-woman is somehow not a woman. Thus this would not be the first time large numbers of (mostly old, white and privileged) Americans placed themselves on the wrong side of history by opposing logic, facts and basic human decency.
For what it's worth, an NVIDIA Shield can do Amazon video, and it is also a Google Cast device.

GSoC is a great annual program for students who want to contribute to open source and get rewarded. Recently I heard of one such another program called Outreachy from Mozilla and other organizations.

He's fixing the mess we're in.
Indeed, there is no announcement either. The price/spec just changes on the Apple Store. Most of the time, the reaction is positive - people just like to see that Apple care.

Keeping the same price for a machine over 3 years and not even going through the motion of offering spec bump is no very considerate. That really looks like Apple keep the line just for that sucker that is born every minute.
Most of them assume records separated with a record separator (typically \n) and fields separated with a field separator (often a comma, tabs, space.)

That might not be a universal data model, but it is close enough for rock and roll.

If you need more complex data structures than that, take a look at jq.

What is scary is how few drivers in California know about this rule or the reason behind it, which is for the safety of the bicyclists.

Near my home there are several intersections with bike lanes, and I estimate that perhaps one driver in 10 enters the bike lane to make the right turn as they are required to.

In fact, I sometimes get surprised or even dirty looks from drivers making illegal right turns when I do move into the bike lane to make the turn. I guess they think I'm trying to get ahead of them and cut them off, but I'm not, I'm simply following the law and improving bicycle safety.
Maybe Sam Altman, Chris Sacca and the like should put together a fund to help people who will not "just follow orders".
I ask myself the same questions. It seems that Apple is lost in internal politics.

It was right decision at the time to build the new OS only for mobile devices. But now laptops and desktops have also touch screens. It was easy to foresee this. So Microsoft decision to build touch OS for laptops and desktops payed off. But who at Apple will take the blame for the decision made 5 years ago to still have two separate OSes? I guess it is safer to continue Steve Jobs vision, even knowing that Steve often changed his mind.

That lack of Mac Mini internals upgrade is really insane. It seems that no exec wants to be associated with that simple project. In most innovative and valuable company everyone has to work on something revolutionary, otherwise someone will be not considered as the right person for Apple.

I guess that "laser focus" and "saying no" are now mostly used in internal office fights.
Lol.. history and norms. Norms like releasing your tax returns before running for office? You think we are going to a centrist judge because dems kept their powder dry? Outrage is the only thing left.
Idaho was admitted to the US in 1890. That's a 127 year head start at forging a place in national politics. A state's politician does not get taken seriously merely by existing, but by long-held ties between the representative the surrounding economic regions.

These ties take time to establish. By the time anyone started taking The State of Jefferson seriously, the entire secession movement will be in old age homes, long since squandering any immediate benefit they could have gotten had they negotiated with the closest government instead of the furthest.
How can you tell I'm being downvoted? My posts aren't greying-out yet.

I'm a bit surprised at the downvotes. I've said things I thought would get downvoted in the past and in the end it turned out I got more ups than downs. But today, in this thread, they're pouring down like rain and it's very unusual.

So, quite aside from the fact I'm losing my high score (hey, I like a game like the next person) I guess I've said a few things that people strongly disagree with. I wonder if it's what you say- the way I express my skepticism, but I'm not commenting in a different style today than in other days. If anything, I was even a bit more guarded today than usual, because there's the matter of disability and all.

I think what's up is that people know Kim Peek as the Rain Man, from the movie, a guy who had a severe disability but nevertheless had an amazing talent, and they're upset at me for saying that maybe he was faking it after all (edit: faking the talent, not the disability; and I'm not even saying he was faking it, just that, like you say maybe he was made larger than life).

The way I read them, a few of the comments in this thread are basically saying that, cooks and entertainers aside, Kim Peek was the real deal. Well, I don't know the guy. I googled him, I looked him up on wikipedia. There are some claims of extraordinary ability. But, if he only did the same things that entertainers do, then his skills were not that extraordinary, only unusual. The fact that he had a mental disability makes them more unusual, but still not so far outside ordinary human potential that he should really get his head scanned by NASA.

So I dont' think I'm being unreasonable to remain skeptical, and demand evidence. I think what's unreasonable is that most other commenters in this thread are simply demanding that I agree with them, just because they know and everyone they know knows that what they say is the way they say it is. Well- sometimes you just have to stop and think how you know what you know.

As with all poisons, that depends on the dose... For a low level exposure, fresh air is truly all that's needed.

I'm not trying to suggest that more advanced treatment is never necessary (I am the person who provides that treatment...), my point is simply that there are _many_ people who experience low level, chronic exposures to carbon monoxide that require no further treatment than leaving the environment.

I was offered a package that basically just said we'll cover your expenses to move. There were some exclusions, I think mostly based on tax rules, but it wasn't a lot. I could imagine if I had submitted a $30K bill it would've been an issue though. The difference is that it's not like I could economize to pocket extra cash.

$30K seems reasonable, if not even generous. I guess it's all relative to your base comp and if you're getting any other bonus. For instance, I also received a sign on bonus that was divorced from anything about the moving costs.

To move from Portland to Seattle (I know, not THAT crazy of a move) it cost us about $10k including having the moving company pack up the entire house, storage fees, etc.

If the wife hadn't have been pregnant and I would've taken more time off (I literally ended one job on Friday and started the other on Monday) we could've probably halved that cost, if not more.

If it was me and I had a $30K lump sum I'd do what I could to minimize the charges the moving company was hitting me with by packing up myself (I hated how they packed us up and I had more things broken in that move than I have ever had in any move and I've moved across the Atlantic and back).

You also will want to look at selling anything that's kind of big or heavy that isn't sentimental and worth less than a few hundred dollars.

For example, get rid of any IKEA furniture you have and buy it again when you get to where you're going. It will literally cost you more to move than it is worth.

On that note, especially if you have lots of stuff and/or are in a fairly big house now- try to sell or give away as much as you can. Use this as an opportunity to clean out the accumulated life cruft and start fresh. If it was up to me when we moved we would've been able to fit it in the back of my pickup.

Save money by driving instead of having your cars shipped and flying- and take a vacation while you're at it. Shipping your cars costs a lot, it's a hassle, and they'll probably get banged up. Plan a road trip and have fun with it.

Citizens of other countries are not our problem. This insane modernist belief that all humans are entitled to protection on our dime is poisonous.

Another way to look at it is the problem that many people rely on the news to tell them when something bad is happening. If you don't analyze your sources constantly due to a variety of reasons, then you are suspect to being rendered blind simply by omission. If you don't realize how badly the media sphere has gotten polarized since the 2000s, it is easy to dismiss valid critiques as bad faith partisan smears. Consumption of the news in a single source method is a great way now to turn yourself into a partisan.

In the age of a non stop stream of content with an unprecedented amount of choice, it can be difficult people to exert the discipline needed to consume in a method that creates a nuanced world view. People have jobs, kids, and things they'd rather do than confronting and synthesizing opposing viewpoints. It's just easier to wrap yourself in a bubble rather than change your worldview. The destruction of the era of responsible, sober journalism due to the economic realities and consumption habits of people is wreaking havoc in our political system. It doesn't help that there are inherent biases in many journalists themselves.

We've placed an increased burden on the American population to sort through a cacophony of bias to create the truth. Is it a small wonder than considering people never had to before, we're falling so short now?
Yes it does, there'll be other parameters but the main goal is to find the nodes that'll help each other the most, and usually that'll be the closest ones.

There are a couple of things at work, here. One, you're restricting your view to only those on the internet. There are plenty of other places people express their outrage. Two, use and reach of the internet has only increased over time, amplifying the response you're seeing.

As for what you expect or would like Altman to express in his post, do you agree with his post and your issue is that it doesn't also address other points you'd like it to, or do you disagree with it entirely?
Except I didn't. Neither did a majority of my fellow voters.
