It seems like it would be useful if there was some standard for actively notifying autonomous vehicles of something they need to be aware of. For example, a bike light might also transmit a radio signal to the car, or perhaps it includes lights operating with a specific color or pattern that self-driving cars can look out for (maybe it doesn't even need to be in the visible spectrum).

Obviously this needs some thought. For example, how would you prevent people from messing with the cars - maybe it's very short range, or line-of-sight only?
Cable is bad (for logical reasons), but DSL services are alright. My local telco just came out with a synchronous 150Mbit plan at not-unreasonable prices. I could certainly host a few servers with that.

I think you're still right, though: the larger picture these things will slot into is as subsidiaries for what IBM has termed "cloudlets": automatic device-launched containers, operating on ISP commodity-IaaS clouds (i.e. at the "edge" in the same city the user is in, where all the CDNs and caches and mirrors they access already are.)

Cloud services would probably be written with cloudlet service-worker containers in mind, and then the home-server hardware would just be a latency-optimization, "stealing" workloads from your cloudlet to your LAN when all the traffic is just going to be over your LAN (e.g. for a home streaming service like Plex, or a game server at a LAN party) and then moving them back if you try to speak to the cloudlet from outside your LAN.

Cloudlets are the more important part of that vision, but I could see the home-server part of the design coming first, just because so many companies seem interested in putting devices into home networks that could run them (e.g. the Apple TV and its class of products; the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and other "voice boxes"; most "smart home" device hubs.)

Great write-up! Which of these features are new in 8.0 and not in 5.7?
The nature of the work in all of these fields is different. My point is that women are not less qualified, but just less interested in a career of doing the kind of work software engineers do. It is very very different from applied math and statistics.

Neuro/molecular/chem ~= biology and is similar to each other for the most part.

women are underrepresented in almost all major engineering fields. It's not like the math there is harder than pure maths or that it's more challenging. Just different.

stats is its own beast. Accounting is very different from computers-related fields or biology for example. Statistics classes are also pretty much evenly balanced.

pure math is also very different from everything else. It might be in some cases similar to theoretical CS/applied math but to get to theoretical CS most people have to go through undergrad CS classes that paint a completely different picture of what that work is like.

> There is, however, a performance cost in using cryptographic primitives in non-security-related contexts. You may not care about performance, but it certainly matters for something like git.

The performance difference between SHA1 and SHA256 is less than 50%. Unless hashing is a significant percentage of git, which it isn't, this is an insignificant difference.

Also, you can easily argue that version control is a security context.
Sorry if I offended you or anyone else.

I too commute a lot via bicyle and also drive, which is why I disputed your comment. I find motorists often see me fine...when they're paying attention and I'm using common sense, ie lights when riding at dawn, not running reds etc.

We're talking about vision / detection here, not people being unattentive, aggressive or inconsiderate, which seems to be the actual problem with motorists and cyclists.

If a self-driving car is 100% dedicated to driving and still has problems detecting bikes 75% (at best) in optimum conditions, that's a different and important issue that I don't believe exists in human drivers today.

I actually hope for both our sakes that if self-driving cars do take over, it's for our benefit as cyclists.
I'm not against cash transfers, but I feel like they can't solve everything, having a bit more money won't necessarily cause hospitals or schools to appear, so I think that some non-cash support will continue to be necessary to provide expertise that they couldn't obtain on the free market.
For a while there, Subway claimed that "footlong" "was just a word" and not an exact measurement (and often a footlong measued less than 12").
The cross-pollination in New Orleans included a lot of Native American drumming. Listen to them at a round dance and you'll note some resemblences. Black and Native Americans mixed there, separate from privileged whites; there are still "tribes" at Mardi Gras for a reason.

Besides there cost / benefit of the pipeline only really makes sense to those who profit from it directly.

Except the metric serving sizes are very inconvenient unless you like to do long division in your head.

For example, I have two yogurts, one has 18g carbs per 170g serving, the other has 34 g per 227g serving. Quick, how much more carbs would I have if I ate the same amount?

It's a lot easier to tell if you know one is 6oz and the other is 8oz, or if the servings were designed in metric sizes (e.g. 150g and 200g).

Not events, but several trends and crises. Two that personally concern me are the looming water crisis and pollution: I would love to have more water security and be able to breathe cleaner air. I can put up with the haphazard electric supply and the abysmal transport infrastructure. I don't have to bother about such fancy things like the substandard educational system or the endemic criminalization of politics.

But perhaps above all, (a) the dysfunctional governance system that is incapable of doing anything about any of this, and (b) the gradual descent of the society into a more regressive state.

Those are still computers. Form factor doesn't change that.
No they have a problem with people on bicycles not following the rules. A problem human drivers encounter on a daily basis.
Or you could just treat issues as another kind of patch, which anyone could send by email or pull request, and maintainers could accept, reject, modify, clarify, etc.

It's true this would be harder for less technical users to submit problems. You might want a way to map anything submitted by Github Issues or the like into patches, though you could also do it manually.
> The GIL is why it's reducing in popularity.

Unlikely. Python, Ruby, PHP, Javascript all do not have in-process parallelism.

In contrast, C/C++, Java/Scala/Clojure, Go, and Rust all have in-process parallelism.

This just furthers seabrookmx's point that Python and Rust belong to two different classes of useful languages.

I think self driving cars is a 95% problem. It'll be relatively "easy" to get 95% of the way there. The last 5% will be almost impossible to get right.
I don't think this was the first such game. There were computer games which predate it.

Either way, even if electronic games existed that didn't use computers, computers clearly took that role being more versatile.
His original partnership was a hedge fund and he did have an incentive fee.

His logic is that large fees on top of what can be excruciating fees by PBs are a major drag on realized returns. And given beta is the average, gross of fees, of all the alpha, then it holds that a material drag on the average will cause most active managers to do worse than the market.

I absolutely believe git should use a cryptographically secure hash function.

But you're completely missing my point, which is about Linus's claims that git's use of SHA1 isn't security-critical, but why he's using a cryptographically secure hash function anyway.
I feel I should point out at this juncture, that this was a quote from a BBC Radio 4 comedy, and that it's not to be taken as seriously as you seem to be.

I think his broader point though, as is the point of the person I was replying to originally, that when we design robots for highly adaptable, sophisticated tasks, we design a potentially very dangerous robot.
Oregon law actually requires the unsafe behavior, though I expect that has very little to do with how drivers behave.
> go into teaching instead?

if teaching earned me as much as a commercial programming job, then yes. Unfortunately, most teaching positions are fairly poorly paid (compared with the qualifications required and the opportunity cost). That's a sad fact, but one has to consider it.
'As part of the settlement, Subway agreed to institute practices for at least four years to ensure its bread is at least 12 inches long. The judge approved $520,000 in attorney fees and $500 for each of the 10 individuals who were representatives of the class, but no monetary claims were awarded to potential members of the class.

"It was difficult to prove monetary damages, because everybody ate the evidence," said Thomas Zimmerman, who was co-lead attorney for the class. Zimmerman said the attorney fees are being split among 10 law firms.'

Yeah these are really good points @petra. Honestly I don't know what the future is. I lean more towards your interpretation about FBA selling being a short-mid term opportunity. Though I don't think it will just evaporate in the next 5 years.

The thing is - sellers should be using this opportunity to build up a brand by borrowing Amazon's audience while they can. AND simultaneously building their own storefront. But I don't see many talking about that.

I do also agree with @sfifs below that many manufacturers don't want to be bothered with marketing and selling, no matter how easy Amazon makes it. They seem to want to stay in their core competency, which is understandable but probably short-sighted on their part.
If this is just a hobby why not rent a large VM from us (GCE) or AWS? It sounds like you don't run enough to want a box for anything like 24x7, but that it'd be great to have tons of memory and lots of cores (or a giant SSD). We just announced our Skylakes yesterday ;).

Git-Annex may be of help for you to store and backup files.
Needing to ship updates frequently is the root of the problem, in my mind. If people would just build something they could stand behind, and not rely on any environmental flux corrections to stay useful, software would go back to being quick and minimal.

Yeah don't beta test your BETA on real drivers, even after the DMV has asked you to stop.

Screw Uber. I hope the CA government comes down hard on them. But we all know Uber will find yet another slimy way to keep going.

For the record, I'm the biggest proponent of autonomous cars and can't wait for that day. But companies that just put people in danger like this are not going to get us there faster. They're going to slow everything down by their carelessness and greed.

i really want to make a self driving bike. a car is so big and serious and expensive but a bike is so cheap and comparatively harmless. adding retractable training wheels would make self driving considerably easier too. once full autonomy is achieved, it can be sent out to collect food orders and bring them back to your house.

This is when the humans strike back against the machines.

Every example of a NN I've seen is good at one thing, the thing it is trained for. I haven't yet seen a NN that can beat people at chess, recognize faces, drive, and make coffee, or more importantly, decide when to do one or the other. The closest thing I can think of is Watson from IBM.

People can drive (poorly) but they also recognize the value of life in a biker or a squirrel, and in some cases, override their usual learned behavior, for example, instead of continuing to drive, swerving, basically improvising.

Computers and programs again are good for what they have been input and now, what they already have learned. The synthesis part, I'm not quite sure even NN have reached that part yet. I may be wrong, the answer is probably "learn more" or "learn faster" (which is what you suggest), but it's easier to synthesize like this when you have a mind with general knowledge, at which point the mind is less like a NN and more and more like a person.

A while ago my wife and I decided to slowly, where we could, get away from any processed foods. We've done pretty well, but there are days where the kids want chicken nuggets...

After moving away from processed food, I cut my food intake by 2/3, but still ate real butter, real ice cream, and whole milk. I've lost 60 lbs, or about 30% of my original body weight. It's amazing, the American diet. I hope science prevails soon and the "rules" change quickly.
I wrote a simple website[1] to show if user have visited the websites included in the list automatically without browser plug-ins.

Am I interpreting the data correctly to say this?: The 2280 shillings may provide (or very nearly provide) a poverty-ending income level in one of the poorest regions of Kenya relative to the local standard for poverty, however, this amount would be below the national standard poverty line. Or is that this amount eliminates extreme poverty but not all poverty?

I didn't see the specific region named in the NYT article.
In the end, the "messing with cars" problem renders almost all explicit-communication-between-vehicles moot, or at least not as useful as people first imagine. The autonomous car will still, no matter what, have to trust its 'vision' over any informative messages.

This is not any different from cars driven by humans, btw. Someone can put up a sign (say a merge left sign and some pylons) that can cause accidents pretty easily, which is why drivers still have to pay attention.

The thing is that wide, let alone 360 degree, vision should provide the computer with more and more useful 'messages' than humans are ever capable of taking in. And probably more than any attack vulnerable information messages could provide too.
It's really sad how much marketing has influenced our eating habits, and even how much it has affected relayed opinions through medical professionals. Of course, one of the least healthy things you can have in higher quantities is refined sugars and fruit juices. Jamba juice and coffee flavored milk-shakes are NOT healthy.

They weren't called computers or computer games. I understood your initial comment as asking why PC games are sometimes called (improperly in your opinion) video games. If I've misunderstood your intention, please correct me.

If this explanation doesn't satisfy you, that's fine. Having lived through that period of time, that's my recollection.

Edit to add: I remember getting an early console at a garage sale. I think it was likely a Magnavox Odyssey 200 or 400[0]. I also remember friends with early Atari and Intellivision[1] consoles long before home PCs were common. These were called video games, TV games or by their brand names, as I recall.

There is no such thing as the "pH of your body". This is unscientific nonsense.
I don't really get the threat model here. If an attacker is pushing commits into your repository, you're long since toast on all possible security fronts, right? Is there anything nefarious they could accomplish through hash collisions that couldn't be done simply by editing commit history?
Except that this car is out there driving alongside people. Running red lights could get somebody killed. That's why google took forever to actually take their prototype to the streets.
> Of course, most of the revenue today is generated from selling cars. But we were talking about the value of the company.

You were talking about what Tesla is. Despite its aspirations, Tesla is a car company right now.

> I am not sure if your intention was to list companies that are much more than car companies?

That was my intention. The discussion was about how we can't compare Tesla to GM or Honda because Tesla "isn't a car company". My point is that those other companies are not either, and so that is not an argument to reject the comparisons out-of-hand.
Would you accept blood pH or gut pH, or something else more specific?
No offense taken, I just couldn't make heads nor tails of your comment.

I too am quite optimistic that self-driving cars will be vastly better to deal with than human-driven ones. The constant 360 vision and 100% adherence to turn signaling will be vast improvements. Every day I deal with drivers making unexpected turns, and not checking for the presence of bikers before turning across a path that bikers might be traveling in. Self-driving cars won't have these problems.
Half of the joy of biking is the riding aspect. For example, I get my exercise for free.
Even normal stoplights can be added or removed. If a car needs an accurate internal map of every single stoplight, it's doomed.
I'm not defending Uber, but there seems to be a pattern of startups that at first everybody is in love with. The startup explodes and grows to become widely successful and morphs from startup to corporation. An incident happens, and then everybody jumps on the bandwagon and bashes them mercifully. Boycotts insue. Clone competitors pop up proclaiming to be "not-evil" and the cycle starts again.

Let me backup my claim with examples:

You could make your own... are your kids sated with battered/breaded chicken strips? I would stick with cooking oils that are either cold-pressed or derived from meat though (no "vegetable", corn, safflower, soybean oils). And using an unbleached flour option.
I know something is a good idea when my first thought is: surely there is something like this already!

My second thought was: wait, I used Emacs or Pico, why hasn't someone made this.

My third thought was: how do you copy and paste? Ctrl-c ctrl-v!

My last thought was: I must thank the person who made this.
It is the unintended consequences of things.

One of the better lines in 'Real Genius' (another comedy) is Lazlo's "All you's need is a tracking system and a, a large spinning mirror and you can vaporize a human target from space." where the consequence of the main character building a multi-GW laser is suddenly clear to that character.

I'm all in favor of self driving cars, and I look forward to the day I can use them to commute and work at the same time, but cars are already used as bombs in the middle east, it isn't a large step from self driving taxi to self driving car bomb is it?
By that logic, you'd be okay with steaks that are 50% beef and 50% corn.

Or even better, 50% beef and 50% grass.
They've worked so hard to present themselves as a honest, law-abiding company. Where could all these negative stories be coming from? It is really surprising that this is happening!

But seriously, what surprises me is that they've basked in negative attention for so long, with so little effort to spin things their way and haven't been suffering any visible consequences in terms of hiring and funding. I'm not sure if that's just because everyone loves a winner, or if it's a measure of how annoyed everyone was at the pre-Uber state of taxis.
If they edit the commit history and you're using a secure hash algorithm, then the hash of the current commit will change and no longer match the signed tag your trusted maintainer sent you.
