The advantage self-drivers have is in
1. minimizing distraction / optimizing perception
2. minimizing reaction time.

Theoretically self-drivers will always see everything that is relevant, unlike a human driver. And theoretically a robot-driver will always react more quickly than even a hyper-attentive human driver, who has to move meat in order to apply the brake.
>There should probably be a specific, complex and comprehensive test for autonomous vehicles

Maybe we should start with a specific, complex and comprehensive test for human drivers first.

And to build on the sentiment of this thread, every driver should finance their own test course to practice on before "subsidizing" their learning on public roads.
So? The only people looking at your html classes are you and your team. Bots don't process css, and most people don't look at html.

> Why can a private for profit company "test" their systems on the public roads?

I mean, this is the way cars have always operated. It is somehow any different to let them "test" there brake system, there acceleration systems? Car companies have always been able to do whatever they want, who cares about the deaths.

For some reason, when it comes to roads, we all just accept a certain amount of deaths each year. Over a million people are killed every year around the world, up to 40,000 in the US alone. That is acceptable according to every car driver.
There are lots of things that you're not supposed to be fired for, that people get fired for. Unfortunately, the onus is on the employee, with almost no resources, to prove that the company was lying.
Speaking of trading.

Can someone provide some insight on the best way to get into the industry as a Trader?

Can you still enter that industry when you are in mid-career?

I would think that since trading requires a lot of patience, and analytical skills, that something like this is better suited to more mature people. This is probably not something that you would entrust to a young early 20s person.

This guy's background says he joined as a quantitative analyst after college. And then rose to the role of a trader.
You have no reliable basis for quantifying the net positive impact. The technology looks promising but at this point we don't even know whether it can be made to work reliably outside of a few limited areas.
Sure, I'm just saying that none of that stuff he says is necessary is needed at all.
You missed a rather important point 0:

If self-driving cars are, at their best, roughly as capable as a human driver.

This is a big 'if'.

The solution to not killing people is a kind of rocket science. In fact, it's probably harder than rocket science[0]. It's predicated on a lot of things that are very, very, very hard. The fact is that humans, who are already pretty capable of most of these very very hard things, often choose to reduce their own capabilities.

If the best self-driving tech is no better than a drunk human, however, then we haven't gained much.

Can you explain? It’s not obvious to me.
I know, happen to live in Groningen, and love cycling as a solution. However, there are some situations where I still like a car. Cycling in winter isn't great, cycling with baggage isn't great either, and cycling in the rain gets wet.

Cycling is great, I hope to get along in life without a car, but cars are still great to have as an option.
1. You're kindly welcome.

2. The last I had heard about that machine, specifically, was around 2011 and I'm fairly certain it was there when they eliminated the NOC in Detroit which was around 2013, if memory serves. The thing is, I would be surprised if it was actually gone.

3. Nice - I was well known was the guy who could fix anything over at Level 3 around the IT side of the house. Around 2014, I was asked to take a look at an ancient desktop PC that had been sitting in the server room at another building. It had failed weeks prior, had a modem plugged in and was discovered to have been used for a billing purpose that was apparently costing well into the 6 figures. The VP asked me if I would spare a moment to see if I could figure it out, despite it having nothing to do with my normal duties. It was dusty as heck and wouldn't boot -- nobody on the server team could get it functioning. I noticed a home-made label stuck to the top and recognized it as drive geometry. The little battery had failed, probably 15 years prior, and someone put a label on it figuring that people would understand exactly what it was. I was the only one who remembered what that was. When I made it boot, people stared at me like I was a magician. :)
> Starting in April, you'll only be able to edit your app’s support URL, marketing URL, and "What’s New in this Version” text when submitting a new version of your app.

I think this is saying that app developers can't edit the title, full description, keywords, etc. for apps when submitting a new version.

But this makes no sense to me. It was already forbidden to edit those things unless you were submitting a new version of the app. If you can't even edit those fields when submitting a new version, then it seems as if you can never update them, ever at all…?
Doesn't "upstart" have a slightly negative connotation?
How can you expect your experience to be meaningful when road maintenance is the responsibility of local governments? I've traveled a lot and I don't think I have a good understanding of the condition of average US roadways much less those in other countries.
Your comment is just random hopeful assertions though...

>It's why so much human labour has been automated.

But how much human labour that is as complicated as driving has been automated? As far as I can tell automation is very, very bad when it needs to interact with humans who may behave unexpectedly.

>b) we've gone from self-driving vehicles being a gleam in someone's eye to actual self-driving vehicles on public roads in less than 10 years. Inclement weather won't take another 10 years.

>It's like you're completely ignoring the clear evidence of rapid advancement just because you think it's a hard problem, while the experts actually building these systems expect fully automated transportation fleets within 15 years.

Actually plenty of experts within the field disagree with you.

“I tell adult audiences not to expect it in their lifetimes. And I say the same thing to students,” he says. “Merely dealing with lighting conditions, weather conditions, and traffic conditions is immensely complicated. The software requirements are extremely daunting. Nobody even has the ability to verify and validate the software. I estimate that the challenge of fully automated cars is 10 orders of magnitude more complicated than [fully automated] commercial aviation.”

http://www.automobilemag.com/news/the-hurdles-facing-autonom...

With autonomous cars, you see these videos from Google and Uber showing a car driving around, but people have not taken it past 80 percent. It's one of those problems where it's easy to get to the first 80 percent, but it's incredibly difficult to solve the last 20 percent. If you have a good GPS, nicely marked roads like in California, and nice weather without snow or rain, it's actually not that hard. But guess what? To solve the real problem, for you or me to buy a car that can drive autonomously from point A to point B—it's not even close. There are fundamental problems that need to be solved.

‍️ well yeah, I guess my understanding was wrong, heh. Thanks for the pointer.

I know my parent comment was pretty antagonistic, maybe we can both do better on that front in the future.
Do you drive? How can you drive and not be aware of the 40,000 deaths a year in the US, and pretend you aren't part of that system.
The ability for good practices is already there, just too many people would rather complain about their bad practices to bother learning the good practices and blame the language.

This is a scandal, and we should not blur lines here.

Facebook engages in surveillance capitalism. Cambridge Analytica engages in Orwellian practices of deliberate and targeted mass manipulation, actively deceiving users from the outset about it's intentions, and using lies as a means to an end.

From the Facebook report on the reason CA was suspended:

> Like all app developers, Kogan requested and gained access to information from people after they chose to download his app. His app, “thisisyourdigitallife,” offered a personality prediction, and billed itself on Facebook as “a research app used by psychologists.” [0]

Cambridge Analytica's CEO also espouses complete deceit as a strategy core strategy for using data to manipulate outcomes and advocates for using "behaviorally targeted language" to create an outcome. Like say you have a "private beach." If you really want to keep people out, why not say "sharks sighted" instead?

His example, not mine: https://imgur.com/a/q1zYP, https://youtu.be/n8Dd5aVXLCc, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bG5ps5KdDo

The scandals for me are two fold. First, we have a data repository (Facebook) that's powerful enough to assist in this type of weaponized manipulation that's entirely unprotected. Even if you think Facebook is some type of benevolent overlord that you trust with your data, it's a scandal that nothing has stopped any number of third-parties from doing what Cambridge Analytica did.

Second, we have a sitting president who actively made use of these "targeted information strategies" during his election in a blatantly unethical fashion. (For the record, so did Ted Cruz.) I for a long time laughed off the Antifa crowd as being an overreaction to Trump, but it's now blatantly clear to me that he deliberately used authoritarian tactics to win the election.
What makes you think people are rushing out to replace all these effects? At first blush this doesn't seemed directly aimed at video games.
> The public spent a few million dollars on the Grand Challenge, while Waymo alone is worth 10's of billions of dollars.

False comparison. First of all DARPA has invested a lot more than that in all sorts of related AV technologies (e.g. LIDAR, AI, robotics). But the real question is when were those "few million dollars" invested. Seed investments generally are much smaller than what companies end up being worth.

In our high tech system, taxpayers generally take on the riskiest stage of very early development, where it takes billions of dollars in bets spread over a very large area over 10+ years. And you're right, there are some socialized benefits, but the statement stands that the costs are socialized as well.

Imagine if you told Google's earliest investor that their investment was a tiny percentage of what it's worth today, and they enjoy the benefit of using Google now, so it's fair that Google's later investors kept all the equity.
Just out of curiosity, how many people have been killed by human-driven cars on the same day in Arizona?
I have the Quiver app loading my library from Dropbox and therefore have just read on my iPhone what I wrote on my Mac.
> make some highway lanes for autonomous cars only. Separate those lane physically

sure, makes sense to me.

But God, that would cost a fortune.
In addition to making all ads, along with their targeting criteria, bought by any one actor, we'd need something more still. The second level.

For all political ads, why not aggregate and publish the demographic's preferences too? "People who liked this ad also liked $these_things." That way you could see what kinds or subgroups the ads are trying to engage.
It'd make it better. Biologically old people are expensive, since aging tends to come with all sorts of horrible degenerative diseases. Reverse those and your old people are cheaper. If your treatments are really effective you might even be able to put them back to work.
Well I guess I need to update my opinion on that story from "Cool application of blockchains!" to "Would've been a cool application of blockchains!"
True, I have no idea how Facebook could ever become GDPR compliant. No loss for the EU as far as I'm concerned.

You are describing social upheaval on a massive scale. If this happens quickly, it will be messy.
Interesting too when you look at how many people are skeptical of Tesla. They might fail, but they are in a posture to try to displace the entire transport chunk of the oil industry.

You can have different margins and different volumes, with the same rate of profits for capital invested.
Because humans are shit drivers. That is why. I don't say this because I'm in love with the idea of self-driving cars or whatever. I say this because humans are really truly shit drivers.

Yes, she said it. From what I can tell you've used what she said out of context. The way you used the quote implies that Oprah Winfrey wants these people to die or is imploring other people to kill the subjects of her quote. If you did not intend to use the quote out of context I'd suggest, in the future, using the full quote. When given the full context of the quote your post makes no sense.

Madison has a lower cost of living, but my experience there (working and looking for work), admittedly dated by half a decade, is that the variety and quality of engineering work pales in comparison to that available in bigger hubs. It's mostly very mundane work for one of the many insurers there, maybe Epic, etc. It's also generally very poorly compensated relatively.
No HoloLens doesn't have eye tracking. I think they're saying the device as a whole doesn't seem to be better than HoloLens. Which I might agree with. The form factor may be stranger though, which would be an accomplishment.

Automation will indeed do some harm to a certain group of people. The question is who should be responsible for bailing those people out (if at all). Is it society (aka, the govt), or the companies reaping the benefits of said automation?

You're right, of course. I suppose I'm just frustrated that there isn't a similar widely-used solution available for non-technical folks that also doesn't feel painful for Web devs to extend.

I have a lot of reservations about Wordpress's hook-based architecture, and I get frustrated with old design decisions like the parameter order for `array_map` and `array_filter`, etc. etc. Sometimes you just need to vent.

Anyway, thanks for the perspective :)
There's still ongoing exposure from lead paint, which was only phased out in the US around 1979. And the soil in cities is loaded with lead. People grow stuff in that dirt and eat the plants, not realizing the risk. Dust gets tracked in and ends up ingested in various ways as well.

It's a slow burn, and like you said, not linked to well-defined current events. The most you can say is "government continues not to do much about pervasive poisoning of population".
It's not just that... it's unabashed technofetishism, using a very pretty Golden Hammer to solve problems that don't necessarily exist.
And yet, people and companies undertake activities all the time that involve risks to life, and we do indeed attach a monetary value when those lives are harmed.

Or, alternatively, we do indeed have a cap to the amount of resources we are willing to expend to save a life - lives are not of infinite value.
I would be interested
But it doesn't work like that. You can't just say "If they don't do X Y or Z", because while they may not do X Y or Z, that doesn't mean they won't do A B or C that are equally bad or worse. Human and self-driving are two completely separate categories, you can't just assume that things one does well the other also does well, and so just subtract the negatives. You could easily flip your comment to go the other way: "If human drivers don't mistake trucks for clouds or take sharp 90o turns for no reasons then they're safer".

I do think that self-driving cars will be safer, but it's upon it's proponents to prove that.

In the Windows 95/IE days they were stopped by government antitrust action, in the US and EU. I suppose the EU is still willing to look into such things.

Windows users may complain about it, but they remain a largely captive customer base, as far as I know. Especially organisations. They rarely consider switching to a different OS, regardless of what Microsoft does.
They did some interesting studies about this after WW2. Nobody ever sees themselves as the bad guy, not even the guards at Auschwitz. Humans fail at ethics and personal responsibility when placed in a tight group.
I have no sympathy for Facebook, but I believe it’s entirely possible to square these facts: these consultants could have easily helped with ad management without being privy to the less benign side of the operation.

The Cambridge Analytica campaign seems to also have been separate from the campaign’s main ad campaign run from the US, which is the one that got th consultants.
I've worked on a ton of businesses cases that require it. This is what I worked on for years.

Let's not be reactionary and engage with the context of what she's saying.

This is exactly the way social tides change. At a first approximation, people develop attitudes when young and retain them until they die (it takes quite a lot of effort to change the mind of an adult, very little to change the mind of a child). If you have some social issue where you can see a generational wave, part of what's going to change the "average" attitude is for the older generation to die off.

She's not saying "kill all the old racists" or even "I'd like these people to die". She's saying "our society's average attitude towards race relations is going to shift in [what she thinks is the right direction] as the generation of people who were raised in a time when open racism was the prevailing attitude die off".
You are correct, it is for the time being politically untenable to allow housing (really land) to reduce in value.
The situation might change when the millenials and younger generations start becoming more politically active.

Many computer scientists are working in the nascent field of home automation. Surely this technology, with its myriad Internet-connected sensors and voracious logging, has the potential to implement a perfect surveillance state - especially combined with data mining. I would like to think the companies building these systems are going to value user control over all else, but somehow that seems unlikely given current models of funding.
