No. 1 second isn't enough. From the time you see something till you start moving your muscle is at least 250ms, and that's a very good reaction time, it's much slower for most people. When it comes to breaking, your foot is not on the break, so you have to move it there, and push it. Then the car will start slowing down.

Download one of those reaction time apps for your smartphone, see how well you do when you actually expect something to happen.

You comment is ambiguous to the point of being meaningless.
As such I would say your own comment says nothing.

The three things you listed are pure technology. Staying in touch with people you care about and making time to do so is not an inherently technological undertaking.
you're wasting your time, since clearly in that case somebody they like won, so all is good and all is allowed.

Which is exactly the reason this is nowhere near production: "kinda works, sort of, in trivial cases" is not quite the SDV promise I keep hearing: "my car will also go reasonably straight when I let go of the wheel on a wide, straight stretch of the road, and won't even run over anyone if there is nobody on the road. Therefore, autonomous driving!"

How does Krita compare to Photoshop? I use Photoshop Elements 15, which does for me almost all I need. If you go to Expert mode, it's almost like Photoshop CS2 or CS4, except for the bad UI, and I'm sure there are features in CS4 that are missing but that I don't use.

If Krita can replace Photoshop for the most part, it's a good alternative on Linux.
I made the statement based on the facts that while there are roughly 200 million guns in the US, most gun owners have multiple guns (i.e., most people don’t own guns), and guns are far more popular in rural areas. When we lived in New Jersey, the leases specifically prohibited us from having guns in the house or apartment.

According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-hou... , 42% of households have guns, so while it’s close, the median household does not have a gun. And, again, firearms are far more common in rural areas than in urban areas, so I believe the statement is true.

Sure. They can also choose to lie, say sexist things, and promote irresponsible drinking. And I'll criticize them if they do that, too.

I said:

1. It is by definition censorship.

2. People should strongly criticize things that are both legal and wrong.

I do think content hosts need some legal status if we want an open internet (and digital free speech) to survive. But because I'm for healthy conversation, I'm pushing back on replying to valid point with arguments for ending the conversation.
> Third reich army was trained. It was army. This is not an example of "untrained populace".

Yep. That is my point.

> The fight against nazi was ultimately won by armies, not by "untrained populace".

Also true. But local groups (and of course SOE operations) helped tying up their resources so they couldn't help on the eastern front or start the invasion of Britain.

The important bit:

How did IBM get around the legal requirement for the disclosures? With a move that even critics acknowledge is ingenious.

The company’s pre-2014 layoff documents required employees receiving severance to waive all bias claims based on “race, national origin, ancestry, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status, age... disability, medical condition, or veteran status.” The new documents deleted “age” from the waiver list. In fact, they specifically said employees were not waiving their right when it came to age and could pursue age discrimination cases against the company.

But, the new documents added, employees had to waive the right to take their age cases to court. Instead, they had to pursue them through private arbitration. What’s more, they had to keep them confidential and pursue them alone. They couldn’t join with other workers to make a case.

Forced arbitration continues to be an awful thing that companies foist on employees to strip them of their rights.

Fewer international students seeking compsci degrees in the US
I don't understand how the author is judging complexity. The top one, Huli, is a base-15 number system but looks quite regular otherwise. French, on the other hand, switches from a base-10 to a base-20 at 80 and then switches things up at 97.

According to the listing, Welsh sits somewhere between these two but it has separate numbering systems for {20s, 40s, 60s, 80s}, {30s, 70s, 90s}, and {50s}. That seems much more complicated than either Huli or French.

On one hand, while harsh, laying off older workers (even the ones who have kept up to date on technology) makes good economic sense. On the other hand, not all global companies are limited by the type of worker's rights legislation noted in the article.

While this survival of the fittest, hyper-capitalism approach will optimize return on investment and technological innovation, I suspect it is also ~destroying the careers of many high achievers who would likely have outperformed in other fields without having their careers derailed.

Does anyone see a way to reconcile this?
> some Asian countries where by default everyone has dark tinted windows making it virtually impossible to see inside other vehicles.

Hmm. Perhaps. Personally, I've never noticed this.

Anyway, the concrete example doesn't matter.

I guess you know what I was trying to say: implicit communication between humans. Even without eye contact, there will be a host of minuscule actions (or inactions) that we use to convey intent. There will always be humans on roads, e.g. as pedestrians. Vehicles will be forced to interact with them, and this communication barrier makes it very difficult.

Don't think of highways, think of supermarket parking lots.

Klar and Focus are indeed the same thing, something about a trademark dispute in Germany over the name Focus. Whoever wrote the article seems to have been slightly confused about this.

I think Firefox for Android didn't get mentioned just because most of the desktop improvements apply equally to the Android version and they don't have much mobile-specific stuff planned. Meanwhile Focus/Klar is an entirely different codebase that is getting some new features.

> Apple pretends to care about privacy as long as it is good for the bottom line.

I don't care why Apple's interests are aligned with mine, as long as they are. When it comes to corporations, dealing with one whose bottom line is aligned with my interest is exactly what I want.

Also, Apple is not 'pretending' to care about privacy. While they have had some embarrassing bugs, they do put privacy as a high priority. Many speculate that Apple is behind in the assistant category because of privacy concerns.
There's still a lot of existing and new Python 2 code being written. Idealistically we would all be on Python 3, but software is a messy land.
This will get messy quickly if you have a PR that you are adding commits to and have a failure for each commit. This has the same problem as some code coverage solutions, they are spamming the PR with comments that are only important for a few moments, then they are just noise...

Speaking about finding test failures quickly though, Jenkins and many others (except ALL the cloud/SaaS solutions?) actually parse test results via junit or similar to show you failures easily. I'm wondering why more SaaS don't do this?

See an example here (for our js-ipfs project): https://ci.ipfs.team/blue/organizations/jenkins/IPFS%2Fjs-ip...

It's so much easier to find test failures now and doesn't involve leaving a comment on the PR. It's simply two clicks to find this view from a PR (click the status message, click on "tests")
Say you took a sabbatical? Lots of people take sabbaticals. I'm surprised anyone has cared. I'd maybe explicitly put "sabbatical" on your resume so people know it was on purpose rather than that time being due to being unwillingly unemployed.

Intermittent street lights reduce the adaptation though and add glare - the human visual range for scotopic ('dark adapted') and mesopic (twilight conditions) vision is about 4 orders of magnitude of luminance (cd/m²) that the retina can perceive simulataneously from 0 to saturation, without adaptation (dilating pupil). Dark to light adaptation is very rapid and happens in fractions of a second, light to dark adaptation happens over minutes.

The eye will adapt to a mean level of light in the larger FOV (not fovea only) - that is why instrument clusters on cars need to be low-level lit, to not disturb this adaptation. Exterior light sources like headlights and street lights further influence adaptation and veiling glare can lead to light sources overshadowing smaller luminance signals and pushing them out of the range that the eye is adapted for.
Yeah, they've done that for a long time.
It’s not mutually exclusive either. You can have lower frequency, lower angular res 360 spinning LIDAR for low granularity general perception, and also have much higher frequency, brighter, and lower FOV (~90-120deg) solid state lidar mounted at the very least on the front corners of the car. We should be absolutely littering these vehicles with sensors, there’s no reason to be conservative at this stage.
I find myself in vigorous agreement with you. As far as I’m aware no one gets 500K without being a known quantity, worth it.

Companies pay more money because they have to, if they want to get the people everyone else also wants to hire. That’s why the Steve Jobs wage suppression agreement happened. And then Facebook said hell no and wages rose, at companies that made enough per employee to pay the new market price.

High population density and low rents sounds like a great combination. If you know it a developed country that lasted please tell. I’d hold out more hope for high density and Georgist land value taxes so that the economic rents accrue to the government/citizenry not the property owners, insofar as it’s rent, not a return on investment.
Presumably this is the length of some discretisation of the curve, perhaps one of millimeter-long line segments. (The exact length is uncomputable!) Really cool though!
Where i think Facebook fills a gap is that it creates the feeling that you are in touch with someone without having to go to the effort of phoning/emailing 1:1/physically meeting, in some ways I think there is a guilt mitigation built in there somewhere. When I compare how may parents keep in touch with friends & family through regular calls and meeting I think we have definitely lost something personally and as a society. How much more personal is a one on one conversation can be compared to a facebook post. I always thought there was room for a network that would require a physical meeting occasionally.
I'd imagine a significant portion of their traffic comes from iOS/Android users, and it's not as easy to block video ads on those.
>> How did LIDAR and IR not catch that?

The LIDAR can catch anything it wants. If the car's AI doesn't know how to deal with it, it won't.
> We're also seeing corporations removing discounts for NRA members.
I don't see a link between that and legal fiduciary duty in those actions. They seem to be reactions to social pressure.

Thats a slightly different, but related [0] effect. The NRAs own PR approach has made special deals with the NRA a PR liability for many businesses. Public relations aren't something companies burn money on for entertainment value, they do it because corporate image impacts the bottom line, because it has a direct effect on things like consumer choices and ability to attract and retain talent.

[0] related in that lawsuits are also used to address political issues (and targeting tangentially-involved businesses formgun violence is a well-known example of that), so that the public mood on gun policy that shapes the reaction to NRA PR efforts also is a factor in the legal risk that firms face with Section 230 being weakened.

What if she was stationary in the middle, but was stationary in the middle, in the left lane?

I mean, she began to cross fron the center (left) to the right, walked a bit, saw the car light, stopped, and then decided to cross again? The sensor would have seen her as a stationary object in a lane the car wasn't drving into. And then she begans to walk, and this movement is disregarded as noise in the beggining, and then it's too late because she walked ? It just takes few steps to cross a lane, about 5 or 6...
"Have you ever found vinyl sounding different from its CD equivalent due to the equipment you play it on?"

Many CD are remastered if not remixed, so they aren't perfect equivalents of the original vinyl; they usually also add compression to raise the perceived average volume (sometimes beyond clipping!), which kills the original dynamics and quality of the media. Some early CDs may have been direct conversion of the master into digital form, but if we take an old record and the equivalent CD issued recently, they're not the same thing anymore.

"The few vinyl rips I have seem to have issues like a high noise floor"

That's because of the needle friction and other interference by motor and other mechanical parts etc. all noise which is getting amplified. They've made miracles with pickups, RIAA preamps and other stuff, but we can't make a mechanical device that doesn't generate friction otherwise we would have invented perpetual motion.
So yes, records are more noisy and have a much smaller dynamic range, although most modern overcompressed music would falsely suggest the opposite. A search for "loudness war" can bring some interesting information.

I really think we should have something like Stack Overflow for academic papers. The comments system works so well. Also, the so called impact factor of journals, which in many cases are directly or indirectly linked with academics and universities financial outcome, could be replaced by the points system from SO.

Of course I'm not proposing using SO directly for academic research but something inspired by it.

I think we should be able to transfer the guidelines that apply to train drivers. There they spend hours and hours on end doing practically nothing and certainly not steering.

I know it's a bit of a tangent, but proactive, large-scale logging of models like this (such as those used in machine learning) may become desirable to meet the requirements of GDPR. If you have to be able to explain how an algorithm made a decision, you need to be able to pull up data like this somehow.

Network topology centralization is not even remotely the same as concensus centralization. Having a highly centralized topology is mildly bad (but probably avoidable) whereas centralized concensus completely eliminates the usefulness of cryptocurrencies over various trustful payment systems.

> If your Dungeon and Dragon forum bans you because you posted porn, are they censoring you?

Yes. Censorship is a neutral term.

> If you expect advertising-powered private platforms that host your content pro-bono...

I expect people to let each other say their piece. Content owners and content hosts have a partnership, and the balance of power definitely tips toward Reddit and YouTube at the moment.

We can argue that "someone can go start up a more permissive platform", but if we're not sharp and clear about how current hosts should behave, the next hosts won't have a clear understanding of what they should be doing differently. If we're not sharp and clear about how current hosts should behave, regulators trying to get YouTube and Reddit out of the moderation business will likely defer to whichever lobbyists happen to be in the room.
I think it’s implied that base-10 is lowest complexity (this page is for English speakers) and I think that is why base-15 is more “complex” than the weird French system which is mostly addition of base-10 primitives.
I agree, if you can make the object imutable by setting all it's fields at construction time then it is great, if you have to update the object then is good to use setters or functions that can perform validation, it makes it easy to catch errors earlier.

"A Cyclist's Track Stand Befuddled One of Google's Self-Driving Cars"

https://gizmodo.com/a-cyclists-track-stand-totally-befuddled...

Perfect example of a corner case. I do NOT believe you can kind of be driving and so having a safety driver means little. The software has to be able to handle this type of situation or should not be on the road.

I get it was crazy for this lady to be in the middle of the road in complete darkness. But this is the EXACT situation you would have thought a SDC would perform far better then a human.

What is really needed is some way to replay this in data against others algorithms and see what they would do.

Love to see what Google would have done? I also worry in trying to keep up with Google these companies are doing very unsafe things. Uber would be far better off just using Google technology.
