Well, probably as a consequence of this incident, Tesla made the autopilot more strict. If you ignore the warnings completely, the car is going to stop itself. But even if you just dismiss the warnings, after 3 or so times, the autopilot deactivates completely till the next stop.

Any chance you can provide a source for this? Not calling you out - Just want to see it for myself. I haven't heard too much about this before you mentioned it.
"I don't care how smart your dryer is, if it catches on fire it's not going to do shit."
Basically all of these are caused blocked ducts, which is trivial to make smart by including a flow/pressure meter.

It's basically 100% detectable. If you are worried about failure of sensor, this is a field where they use sensors in ridiculously contaminated and abrasive environments (material handling, etc).

"Lint" is neither.

(compared to what else we use flexible tube to handle as a material)

So you can simply prevent the fire in the first place.
Much more so than pretty much any other appliance.
Fair point. We do have a handful of engineers local to the DC area. Also a couple times per year our remote employees have the option to join us here in DC for festivities on our dime.

off topic: do bastion servers in scaleFTs architecture provide any interactive-session auditing capability (e.g. gravitational teleport), or do they simply act as a bastion access tunneling tier?

If you have interactive session audting.....you will be hearing from me.
It may be sketchy, but you may not have a choice. If you have a Qt application (written in C++) which needs to use a platform-specific API to do some magic stuff with a window, there's a method on the window to get the handle that the platform's GUI library offers. Of course that's going to be dependent on the environment because each environment has an entirely different GUI library (e.g. Cocoa only exists on macOS, not on Windows or Linux or Android).
" Riders will be asked whether they would like to leave a tip when rating their driver at the end of a trip." So exactly same as Lyft. Also do not forget Lyft would not exist without uber doing most of the "shady" work they did to get around and eventually change regulations which helped ride-sharing companies to operate .
Like food business must deal with the cold-chain, Clothes businesses have distinctive features other retail areas don't have, there's a reason fitting rooms exists in clothing brick & mortar stores.

How do you replicate the fitting room experience online? with colors you can see differently on a monitor, texture you can't feel, sizes for each body type that are different, etc. , the best way today is to order more and return.

> Why exactly is this unbelievably damaging to environment is an exercise left to the reader.

Well people need to find clothes that fits them. So they're either left with going to a brick & mortar store, or ordering online and returning items that don't fit.

Me and all other customers driving to the outlet malls (assuming that mall has all the stores we're interested in, otherwise drive to each store separately), and driving back in our cars is certainly more damaging to the environment than one extra shipping, given that UPS, USPS, Fedex and everybody involved in the transportation business is making sure they're wasting the least amount of gas.
I'd say that even two years ago most mobile phones being sold were already ARMv8. That doesn't help with the SoC documentation, you're right that this has been a consistent weak spot. Usually documentation is offered up or it washes up only when the market relevancy of any one SoC approaches zero. Before then, it's passworded up and jealously guarded. Makes no sense to me, especially when you consider most of any one SoC to be consisting of reused generic IP blocks. I mean, I can deal with an NDA for something tricky like your new GPU, but that doesn't explain why I can't figure out the interrupt routing or your clock and GPIO blocks.

If you're referring to ARM servers, then things are still pretty solid (it takes a while to line up an entire hardware and software ecosystem, even in a world where you're all set if it runs Linux). There are specs like SBSA and SBBR that ensure servers from any SoC vendor look roughly the same, but I would wonder why you would target bare metal in that case anyway. Have you considered targeting ARMv8 VMs, like the one modeled by KVM/qemu? Extra bonus in that it looks like an ARM server.

For a high tech vehicle with so many safety features built in, I don't understand why an automatic collision avoidance system didn't override the autopilot system and start braking well ahead of this high speed impact. Maybe this model doesn't have such a system, or the traffic conditions changed so rapidly there was no time left to brake?
I remember that the official Microsoft JVM (which was quickly discontinued) used native Windows GUI controls to display the Java UI, and then later, the JVM on Mac OS X displayed Swing(?) apps with native controls. I thought it was all very neat, but against the interests of the companies.

VR storytelling with A-Frame
Especially diff. The single thing that annoys me with tabs is the fill behavior. The tab stop is not affected by the leading ‘+’ or ‘-’ in the start of the line which can lead to some weird looking code like :

function foo() {
- if (baz) {
+ if (bar) {
baz();
}
}

If a tool is not set up to deal with this problem (for example `git config core.pager less -S -x1,5` for a 4 space tab stop, `less -S -x4` makes the first second line above indent with 3 not 4 spaces).

This is also a problem if a line is merged to the line above and an unaware developer leaves a tab character—previously used as indentation—thinking it is a space character. To the developer with the tab-stop set to four there is a one in a four chance they look identical.
Call it autopilot when it works like an autopilot, but right now it really doesn't do all of that.

AMD's Future in Servers: New 7000-Series CPUs Launched and EPYC Analysis
That's also the fundamental problem with all existing forms of autonomous vehicle AI. Google was the furthest along with Level 4 and 5 autonomy but even they have backed off that development track as they couldn't muster the resources (a massive fleet collecting data) necessary to make the next leap in progress.

Anything less than Level 4 autonomy will require constant driver attention. While there is technically Level 3 autonomy, the premise of a system which can operate with the operator intervening within some "limited span of time" in an emergency is fundamentally flawed. The situations in which an AI will have to kick the decision making back to the human driver are inherently time sensitive. Any sort of time-sensitive response from the driver would have to occur in such a short window that one could never safely remove their attention from the driving process for any meaningful amount of time. Even a time window as short as 5 seconds is too long to react to a situation at highway speeds (the car would have traveled 440 feet if it's at 60mph).

My point is that this is an existential problem in the field of autonomous vehicles to a point that even the most ambitious players are admitting defeat. Most, if not all, the commonly discussed benefits of an autonomous car (all the things you can do with a comfy seat and an internet connection in the time one spent driving, also no worrying about DUIs) are unachievable with Level 0-3 technologies. They might make driving safer if they're implemented as a fail-safe for bad drivers but if they're allowed to take full command for any period of time, they are fundamentally unsafe and undesirable in terms of what the public is demanding from the promise of a truly driverless car.
I don't want tipping to be a thing. I'm also hoping that it doesn't impact how the driver will rate me after-the-fact.

I use Uber to commute in Seattle (often both ways) and have encountered repeat drivers. Will they give me a lower score now that they realize I'm not tipping them?

Not tipping is what made Uber more simple and required less effort on my part. Tipping a taxi driver was annoying and this will be annoying too.

I was also wary of using food delivery app services for the longest time because of the tipping. I am glad that I can just do a $5 tip (or whatever) + built delivery fee IN THE CHECKOUT PROCESS and not worry about it AFTER they have showed up at my doorstep with the delivery.

TLDR: I don't want to tip because it requires more effort and consideration from me as a rider after the fact. I will not tip like this.

As an aside, I've tipped an Uber driver ONCE before because it was a distant airport ride and he helped with the very heavy luggage my girlfriend and I had. I gave him cash.

+For whatever it's worth, I tip waiters and stylists very well. I don't have anything against tipping itself, just this kind of implementation into an app service where it didn't have tipping before.

> What did the autopilot do and when did it do it seems to be missing from this round of reports on this incident and thats pretty lame.

I am pretty sure this is because it has been reported on pretty thoroughly.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/01/business/insi...

The general sense is that the system is designed to apply brake when both radar and the camera system agree there was an obstacle (this may no longer be true since there was indication that decoupling was being worked on).

It has been suggested that the white trailer against a bright blue sky didn't register on visual detection. Thereby there was not a consensus between radar and visual that there was an obstacle so the brake was not applied.

> we would expect it to before broadly deploying these devices.

And this is why there is focus on the driver. What is reasonable expectation? Are there adequate warnings and documentation about the capabilities of the system?
Autopilot is not marketed as an autonomous driving system...it (at the moment) explicitly says drivers should continue to monitor the system to manually intervene if required.

Further NHTSA research suggest as high as a 40% crash reduction since the wide introduction of Tesla's autopilot mode:

https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/19/nhtsas-full-final-investig...

This is a single accident...and arguably the driver was the final safety gate and they failed to apply corrective action (in addition to the automated safety systems). It does not appear as if the driver had sufficient reason to believe the system was capable of complete autonomous operation. And it does not appear as if there was a critical flaw or bug in the system that was putting consumers at risk.

And just briefly going over the items in the roughly 500 page report there does appear to be a lot of detailed examination of the systems.
> I tried bootstrapping it with `create-react-app` and ejecting, so I can modify webpack config

I am pretty much confident that everything worked well before you have made any modifications in the webpack config. So, the negative effects, that you are describing after, is a result of your efforts, but not anybody else.

And why did you want to eject in the first time? Most popular use-cases are already covered into create-react-app by default.
For those who are not savvy, I'll do my best to explain why. I am not an expert but have a history in this industry at the technician level.

The worst possible thing that could happen to the telecom industry is for the government to expose how overcapacity most local networks are. We aren't talking Tier 1 Internet backbone networks. We are talking about local ISPs that usually fall into the category of Tier 2 or 3. That means they purchase "transit agreements" from Tier 1 networks to connect their users to the backbone. Most areas I have seen are way over capacity in need of upgraded equipment, too many splices on the cable, or limited bandwidth to their backbone connection to save money on overhead. Nobody wants to spend the money upgrading infrastructure for a market they are already making the maximum profit on. They do not want to send you a letter telling you that their network is miraculously upgrading to fiber and your speed will increase tenfold for no extra cost because copper is going away.

They will maintain the status quo for as long as possible. It is their only option to keep squeezing out every last cent they can on their current equipment and bandwidth agreements. Upgrading gets them very little in ROI. New shit is reserved for new markets like new roads going to high-end subdivisions.

> You need to make sure that your device is accessible under the given subdomain for a certain period, and it may not always be trivial.

I tried to set up Let's Encrypt for this purpose for a personal project (to be given away as a gift), and concluded it was basically impossible as things are.

You don't want your users to have to figure out how to open their firewall enough for an http server to be publicly reachable just to use your device, especially when it has no other need for it. It would need to be reachable every 60-90 days to renew the certificates, which is frequently enough to mean "always".

The ACME protocol does have a DNS-based challenge mechanism, but it requires putting a token in a TXT record at an administrative sub-domain of your actual domain (e.g., _acme_challenge.example.com). As far as I can tell, none of the free DNS providers support or enable this (nor does certbot, without writing your own hooks). I don't want to eat a domain registration fee in perpetuity for a gift.

Sadly, there's no ACME challenge that can be satisfied solely by the actual thing you're trying to assert, which is that you control which IP address a given domain name points to.
Write barriers (or related techniques) are also important for incremental garbage collection.
Also, maybe calling it a bug was a little unfair; if it is a timeout, it seems to be working as expected. We'll see. Either way, I really liked it while I was using it, hopefully it gets resolved! Good work SearX contributors! :)
I used to tip in cash to avoid the bad rating especially if I am travelling to airport and have heavy luggage. I hate carrying cash and this is a very welcoming change. Anything that would make them look less evil(Although i don't think they are any worse than most companies.) is a good PR move.
Oh well, no way to delete my comment now.
> Now. "Exponential" is faster than most people, including myself, can believe. When one unit of resource doubles your computational capacity, it doesn't take many units.

Please don't make bullshit claims about exponential speedups. I don't know exactly what technology you are claiming to have, but statements like this cause me to believe less in your technology, not more.

Assuming intellectual dishonesty across a whole group of people or discipline is a mistake. Most things are bad but this approach actually blinds you to what is good within the bad and it sets your views in stone and prevents development.

If you take a look at the features (esp. macros and multiple dispatch) you can see that is readily extensible for lots of applications. Thus the reason it is also sold as a "general purpose" language.

Additonally, the very good support for threading and multiprocessing means it has a good future with services, async IO, and with event-loop web servers (a la node.js and friends).

Finally, the focus on fast speed for numerical computation is particularly suited to games (as is the support for threading).
Ehh, I'd say emacs has a minor edge in that tab is a command to indent to the correct level, not to insert characters.

I.e., you can also use a single `tab` on an over-indented line to correct indentation.

Your point stands, of course.

Jupyter/IPython dev here. 1) We are always supper happy to see commercial offers that integrate Jupyter – I see the HQ of Kyso is in SF, feel free to come see the Berkeley team. We're also be happy to come by SF to discuss ! 2) RT collaboration is on its way on main Jupyter (via JupyterLab) the beta should be announced in a couple of weeks maybe before end of month. It will be using Google Drive (by default, but plug-able). Not only on notebooks, but all text documents – you can get it now if you install master. 3) I would also look at CoCalc (ex SageMathCloud) that already have real-time collaboration with full history.

Ask HN: Masters from Analytics/Data Science Program to Entrepreneur?
Before one reacts to this question as a loaded question, hear me out:

I've just been accepted to the inaugural OMS Analytics program offered by Georgia Tech. I was initially attracted by the $10K price tag, but I spent a large majority of my weekend thinking about whether it's still worth my biggest investment- time.

Apart from MBAs, I really don't hear of people who obtain Masters start their own companies. It's not necessarily a goal of mine, but I wanted to see what the HN crowd thought. Can one learn so much from this program (or similar) that one becomes empowered enough to start a "Data Science/Machine Learning/...etc. Company?"
