Worth noting that while firearms are fairly durable goods, they do have a lot of wear when they're used regularly.

Trigger pins can wiggle loose. Butt stocks can crack. Springs lose their springiness. Barrels wear down with normal use, and that wear is accelerated to corrosion if they aren't cared for properly. Receivers will crack if used enough.

Sure. That gun in your uncle's safe will probably still shoot fine in 50 years (assuming it was cleaned before it was put away), but competition shooters replace their arms, or major parts in their guns every couple of years or so.
Dynamo db is not cheap at all. Writes are expensive and the structure of Dynamo is far from flexible and very limited in regards to querying. I don’t know what the usecase is for it.

Separate the function of wifi and router. My home office, which is bottlenecked by the docsis3.0 last mile, is on a Ubiquiti edgerouter-x ($46) router. And then a single ubnt UAP-AC 2X2 MIMO, dual band 802.11ac AP ($79).

The OS on the ubnt edgerouter series is a fork of vyatta, which is Debian based.

Never Again: Is the new anti-gun movement too white?
I don't know enough details of this to tell you if the US government can slow it down or stop it. But in the long run, it doesn't matter.

Foxconn is the company, more than any other in the world, which knows how to make computer equipment. Asian, mostly Chinese, business networks are becoming the only ones that know how to make modern computers at all.

Western companies get hardware to market by having it made by those who know how to make it (i.e. Chinese partners). If the Chinese companies now want to sell things directly to consumers, there's nothing to stop them -- buying US companies might be the easiest path, but other paths exist.

In no way does this mean that the Chinese are going to come and economically dominate everything. But it is hubris to imagine that holding onto companies will prevent change.
No, bad statistician, don't pass go. N = 3,000,000. Miles are the observation here. We're talking # of mortalities per mile, so mile is the N. If you want to talk about the problem of only have a single mortality incident, you need to do the work of determining the likelihood of a 1 in 100,000,000 observation incident occurring in the first 3,000,000 observations. I leave that detail to the students.
Thank you for the detailed explaination. This makes your previous comment much more understandable.

I concur, that password managers are not that convenient when switching between random computers. In those cases, I use my phone as the manager and set easy to type diceword passwords for accounts which require mobility.

> From what has been released so far, this feels like a case where a human would have had a high likelihood of doing the same thing

No, a human would have easily avoided this (unless they were not looking).

The video is much darker than what a person would see.

Even when you can see the bike on that dark video, the car still does not react!
Awesome website! I love it. My girlfriend loves. Should get a YouTube guy to review it for you. Get some good traffic. Keep up on it and always improve!

Based on what came out of the last few days I don’t think it’s clear at all, I think a human would not have hit the woman.

The footage we saw was from a terrible dashcam and did not represent how dark the street actually was. Other people who have driven down the street with cameras show it to be perfectly reasonably lit, with streetlights and everything.

Second, the woman was crossing across two lanes, so any driver watching would have already seen her cross the left-hand lane. It’s not like she popped out from behind a tree suddenly. She wasn’t even going that fast.

This seems to be a massive failure of Uber’s system as well as a complete failure of the ‘safety’ driver.

I don’t think anyone’s overreacting. I think they’re under reacting. I think it’s pretty clear over was heavily negligent. There’s no way they don’t get sued. What comes out at trial is going to be up amazing, I think.

I think if this had been a “real” accident that would’ve been almost impossible to avoid, around it WAS impossible to avoid, or one where the human stepped in and it wasn’t good enough… We would be having a discussion we’re like what you’re saying. Maybe if this was what emai I think if this had been a “real“ accident that would’ve been almost impossible to avoid, around it WAS impossible to avoid, or one where the human stepped in and it wasn’t good enough… We would be having a discussion we’re like what you’re saying.

But it looks like the dubious honor of first death by a autonomous car was totally unnecessary and preventable.
There you go. Was seeing the videos of other drivers passing same road. Even the Google XL is better quality than Uber cam.
Also, all the lidar gimmick looks like not worked well there.

Intel Corp.’s Mobileye, which makes chips and sensors used in collision-avoidance systems and is a supplier to Aptiv, said Monday that it tested its own software after the crash by playing a video of the Uber incident on a television monitor. Mobileye said it was able to detect Herzberg one second before impact in its internal tests, despite the poor second-hand quality of the video relative to a direct connection to cameras equipped to the car.
For a slightly more local and recent example, the cost of California's 2017 wildfire season exceeded $9.4 billion (http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/fires/article188...), and became a serious political football between the country's wealthiest state and the federal government.

The federal government additionally had hurricane and flood damage events, among others, totaling a record-breaking $306 billion for 2017 (https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/2017...).

These numbers aren't going to trend downward anytime soon.

A lot of the cost is absorbed through private means -- insurance, private funds and donations, and a lot of unfortunate people just end up eating the cost -- but if the federal government were to try to cover everything related to natural disasters, it would approximately rival the interest paid each year on federal debt.

We are seeing now the beginnings of the effects that scientists started warning us about 30 years ago. They aren't going to go away. They're only going to get bigger and more expensive and, like frogs in boiling water, we'll continue debating the merits of climate science while paying for the destruction of entire communities and it won't even occur to us that the things are related.

So as US deficits continue to increase and the tax-and-spend cycle continues through several different administrations, other programs are going to get cut back in an attempt to reduce debt (or to pay for whatever administration's favorite thing is today).

People who don't live in coastal areas or areas prone to wildfire, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, severe winter weather, or other climate-related natural disasters, might think, hey, I'll be okay.

But the money's gotta come out of somebody's pockets.

The biggest issue with electric semis is that trucks have a maximum weight limit, and the battery is much heavier than fuel for the same mileage. As much as you may get the same range, if you can't carry as much cargo, you lose the benefits of price per mile.

Note that Tesla didn't mention the weight of the battery when announcing the truck. (Though I assume they believe they can get it even lighter before they release production models)

One specifically negative thing about gdocs ... well ... gsheets ... is that if you create a document with many (e.g. > 5 or so) charts on a single page ... it will slow waaaaaaayyyyy down. Multi second latency/response times for things like scrolling, cell interaction, etc. It becomes effectively unusable.

Gdocs as a whole are ok, though you are giving Google the right to read your docs as I remember (in their terms of service).
This seems like an obvious thing to do: if you’re trying to test the AI, remove complicating, possibly contradictory OEM systems.

But compare with the other discussion currently on the front page, where users point out system subsumption is a basic safety principle. You need a safety system to fall back on if the AI fails (as it will, at least at this stage). It seems grossly negligent if Uber didn’t re-implement collision avoidance at a lower level.

"From what has been released so far, this feels like a case where a human would have had a high likelihood of doing the same thing and would not have been at-fault in the collision."

The camera footage is A LOT darker than what people have filmed there just a day or two after and is probably not a good representation of what it looked like to the human eye.

Even if it was fairly accurate, the car would be HEAVILY and EXTREMELY dangerously overdriving its headlights in a way that humans would not do.

Sure, and the similar analogy is "sure he's parked illegally, but you can't charge him for driving without a licence because parking illegally is a civil infraction."

Oculus is highly underrated in my opinion. I would bet that the majority of their income is through VR by 2030. Great VR content with the ability to personalize it using AI with tons of personal data will lead to major addictions in my opinion, resulting in a gold mine for many businesses.

Does that not fit the definition of artificial intelligence? The system makes decisions – ones that would be otherwise done by a human – based on its perception of the world. That is what I have always understood AI to mean. To be sure, a conventional ABS system does not use machine learning, but machine learning is only a subset of AI.
I get that NYT has a viewpoint. I know about manufacturing consent. What I'm saying is, if you wanna catch the media serving capitalist aims, you picked a lame example. For your argument to make sense, the times would have to conciously benefit from this story. Does anyone think that the tiny percentage of financially succesful artists makes a dent in the labor pool for NYTs ownership? The impact to capitalism from someone quitting their job as a taxi driver to sell paintings is miniscule. Even on a sub concious level, this is probably on nobody's mind at the nyt board, never mind the editorial staff. A better explanation for this story: its the sort of middle brow gee whiz art stories nyt readers love to click on.

Your argument makes even less sense when you realize that artists who quit their dayjob are still part of the capitalist system, and continue to get exploited. History is ripe with examples of musicians getting screwed by a label or writers getting screwed by their publishers. Even idependent artists still work within the capitalist system and get taken advantage of. So even if nyt was part of a capitalist conspiracy, theres no reason for them to care if the artist has a job or not.

Thanks for quibbling over the semantics of freedom. Yes i know that id be more free if i could just make art all day and not work. Im not independently wealthy though. And we dont live in a socislist paradise. When i said freedom, i meant freedom from making money with art, and i thought that was understood. You cant deny that creative control with no paying audience you must answer to is one type of freedom.

Lastly, im not implying that having a job lets your art mirror society. Its possible to think outside of it. That has nothing to do with whether your employed or not. What it requires is imagination.

But no apartment is going to be as cheap as splitting a house 6 ways: demand for an apartment of any kind vastly exceeds demand for marginal square feet, and the kitchen and bathroom imply certain fixed costs to split.

If she has something that can be diagnosed, it can help with schooling in the U.S. (and probably elsewhere).

In the U.S. Federal law requires public schools to provide some forms of accommodations. Search for "section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973". Accommodations range from the trivial, like getting to sit up front in class or getting reminded to write down assignments, to things like getting an extra day for homework or getting access to remedial teaching or tutoring. Some of these could greatly relieve stress.

"My kid never even realizes that homework was assigned, and the teachers are not good enough about noting assignments online in a timely manner, so she's always late to turn them in or misses them completely, so she's failing her classes even though she gets A's in all the tests!" -- if you find yourself saying something like that, then you need some 504 meetings! An official diagnosis from a psychiatrist might not even be necessary, i don't know, but certainly a therapist might prove useful anyways in helping your child get more out of life.

>having a second system running that can't coordinate with the self-driving system would likely make the combined system less safe. Even if communication between the two were possible, I'd still imagine that just having a single system operating the care would be much more desirable.

Multiple redundant systems that do not need to talk to each other to coordinate is generally safest.

And if the existing systems can not be coordinated with and can make cars less safe because of this, then how are drivers managing it?
Agreed. You use the lowest-tech option which is practical at every stage. So if you have a mechanism which can travel between points A and B and will cause damage if it leaves that range, your best option is a physical stop at each end. Second best option is a hard-wired limit switch at each end which cuts motor power. Third best is a limit switch which is used by software. You wouldn't use machine vision or LIDAR.

And then as you say, safety related functions (anything on which human life depends) need to be separate from general control code and to meet the requirements of whatever safety spec you're working to (e.g. SIL).

> The poor never occupied prime (at the time) real estate

Couldn't agree more! That's the irony. For many cities, crime kept the richer people further away from the inner city, where many jobs are/were. In places like London, Sydney, NYC and SF, it is really hard to find workers for hotels because the people that do such jobs live so far away.

This is the great irony of improving city conditions like reduced crime. In a really scary way, crime was poor people's saviour from long, perhaps even un-profitable treks to work.
