Thanks for this post. I thought I deleted my Facebook four years ago only to read this and find out it still existed. IIRC back then it said something about deletion after a set period of inactivity.
What is explicitly better about it? From glancing it seems similar.

Hardware is not faultless.

The analogy doesn't stand up - there's a non-trivial chance that a memory module or your hard drive in your laptop will fail over the lifetime of the device.

Furthermore, a LIDAR unit is complex and has firmware and lower-level software embedded that may be at fault.
I did mathematics to first year university level and didn't come across any of the terms used in Haskells.

As for real world usage, however, I still have a long way to go...

>While I'm in favor of decriminalizing adults engaging in adult behavior, I don't believe anyone goes into selling sex with a healthy attitude towards sex. They're typically victims of sexual abuse at a young age, which has warped their perspective, leading them to believe that their biggest value is to sell their bodies for sex.

Source?

Also, healthy attitude? What's that and who exactly defined it?
On the contrary, in my experience when you’re starting up a new venture you should be laser focused on real customers, not engaging the peanut gallery.

The actual calculator in action, for a developer role: https://about.gitlab.com/roles/engineering/developer/

I have some trouble following their rent index by region approach, described in some more detail here: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c...

For example for Germany, the calculator still only list four major cities and an "Everywhere else" option, which has an extremely low index. I also couldn't find the raw results of their region analysis.
I know this is a digression from the current discussion on how well the devices work, but as a stats student who just learned about estimating using log-likelihoods, could you give some more info on how that is inferior to the Bayesian model (since I've heard the exact opposite is true)?

Very cool idea.

Few potential issues come to mind:

- I bet dust would muck up the MOF

- Dust would need to be swept off to allow sunlight energy to reach the solar chamber.

- Ambient temperature on mars in below the freezing point of water. May not get enough sun to warm the MOF enough to drive off the moisture. EDIT: Found a source saying that water vaporizes during the day because of the reduced pressure - interesting.

I'm not sure Uber is a very large customer of Velodyne's. They're also suppliers for Google, Ford, and Caterpillar, as well as a bunch of others.

If they're sure it's not their fault it's a good idea to get that information out before people start questioning LIDAR technology. If Uber leaves they'll lose sales in the short term. If everybody else gets scared away then they're toast.
That's nothing!

Also, I doin't see the advantage of bipedalism for robots. We can build a 4 legged robot that still has arms, and dogs can go pretty much anywhere that humans go. Quadrupedalism is much more stable (and hexapods are almost trivially so, but I think a robot with 6 legs is more likely to freak people out).

Can I ask a dumb non-engineer question? Backup cameras in areas with basically any road debris/weather get covered with dirt. I'm in the Seattle area now, and I often lick my thumb and wipe off the camera, because its a vision system I rely on so I don't kill people.

Could lidar/cameras/etc on the vehicle be obscured by road debris or worse, things being bumped/moved, smudged, or even foul play?
That's because the trait section only shows what traits a type implements. If you want to see how to use a trait just click that trait's name for the trait specific documentation.

That way of measuring is terrible, any student then can put his own system on streets, kill 100 people, then after 1 million km some agency decide he needs to try again next year.

Chances are it's just impostor syndrome. Nobody's gonna care unless there are hideous hacks everywhere. When reading other people's code the first instinct is to assume everything is there for a reason. Given the effort it takes to critique someone's code, if somebody does - you're in luck.

Less wear is actually worse for brakes. The hard use of brakes coats the iron surface with pad material. Without this coating, braking is uneven and not 100%. This is why many mfgs have brake bedding coatings and/or procedures. On a related note, most 'warped rotors' are not warped, but have uneven pad deposits, creating stickier spots on the rotor/drum.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great library! You can do pretty darn fast systems with it, all type-checked and correct. Just don't try to fit in too many things into one thread yet, wait for async/await and non-statical lifetimes in the core.

Hey Kyle, this looks nice. I use RescueTime[1] for this purpose on desktop, but since it doesn't easily interop with mobile/other devices, it's still easy to slip into procrastination by pulling out the phone. I'll try TimeGuard as a way to fill the gap.

For me, the killer feature for this type of tool would be a blanket anti-procrastination mode that works across all devices. Maybe it could even make sense to integrate somehow at the router level?

I interleaved loads and bswaps, because that's what (hopefully) every decent compiler will do

Your optimism about compiler behavior is charming. I think you may be disappointed if you expect compilers to interleave loads just because this approach works better on modern processors. My experience has been that GCC goes out of its way to hoist all of your carefully interleaved loads to a big block at the top.

I'm guessing it does this because it's a simple heuristic that was often helpful before out-of-order processors became common. Normally, the performance impact of this is very small, but when it does exist, it's usually negative. If I recall, ICC does a better job of interleaving, or at least leaving things interleaved.
But Velodyne has proof -- gobs of it -- that their product is "capable" of seeing the pedestrian in the dark. It's possible that this particular unit malfunctioned, but for this to be Velodyne's fault and not Uber's it would have had to malfunction in such a way that it gave the appearance of operating normally. That is extremely unlikely.

Next time you're caught "maybe staring", try this: Smile or nod and then look away, instead of rushing to look away. You might be surprised how many smiles and nods you get back and return, and realize that most people are happy to have a moment of mutual acknowledgement.

The key is to consciously acknowledge that you were looking at someone, and realize that you are forced to "justify" your look -- was it innocent and friendly, or creepy and rude? If it was innocent and friendly, then commit to it! If was creepy and rude, you messed up, do better next time.

I'll throw y'all a curveball - IRON CROWN (https://www.ironcrowncomic.com) is an action-adventure webcomic about mercs, monsters, and a dictator’s daughter fleeing a coup - with all of the above standing against a much darker enemy on the horizon.

Also updates every Monday, rated T+, and published through Hiveworks which is a neat indie publisher that probably hosts that other webcomic you love.

I was thinking and wondering how reasonable as a "next step" in protecting forests to potentially require GPS tracking on all or certain types of chainsaws - it feels like an absurd thought on its own, though it potentially helps solve the problem.

This could then extend tracking to imagery via satellite - via geographic and density changes being detected, knowing where the GPS-tracked and legal work was being done, being able to then eliminate those areas from as high of scrutiny. Perhaps the GPS tracking is then not necessary if you can accurately compare before/after imagery, though could be a useful tool anyway for management to know how efficiently equipment is being used, if it's at where it should be and such.

This reminded me of a story my father once told me. I assume he heard it because his father was part of the Ministry of Forest in Canada a long time ago: I believe it was during a world war (not sure which one) when I could imagine lumber would have been in constant demand. There was a bit of a trick and literal loop-hole that truckers would use. Before being discovered there apparently was a long route where truckers would go through without actually dropping off their lumber - after having gone to the weigh-in point to get paid. They'd continue to drive through the back to return another day with the same load to get paid again; a long drive apparently but still was a money maker..
I totally would've used this when I was a hiring manager. Beats the hell out of sending a static text email w/ carefully typed numbers and options.
The rational response is to try passing legislation that prevents companies like Uber from (ever?) testing on public roads while allowing responsible companies like Cruise and Waymo a way to prove their competence and be allowed to test/operate.
I think there's another point to be learned from both the Dropbox comment and CmdrTaco's original infamous iPod take. And that's the importance of a really well-designed product that's simple and easy to use. Both Dropbox and the iPod weren't the first to try to solve the problems they were addressing, but they were the most elegant, intuitive solution. Both implementations effectively got out of the way of their users and exposed the underlying function with a little impedance as possible. It's always important to remember that the goal isn't for users to use your product. The goal is for users to get the value your product delivers. That sounds obvious, but a lot of product development teams forget that. Both Dropbox and the original iPod seem to embody that distinction.

As for your "nothing I can deploy on my own server" comment, checkout syncthing or Resilio. Both take a bit more doing than a simple Dropbox install, but I've found syncthing to be pretty bulletproof once it's configured and I've heard a lot of people prefer Resilio.
So just set the bar of compliance to start any company at several hundred thousand dollars (which is pretty much where it is) and you get the lovely contemporary effect of 40 year lows in new business creation[1][2].

There are active, observable, and semi-quantifiable costs to society when lawmakers create arcane, incomprehensible laws meant to prevent entry into markets by making the barrier of compliance too high for most people to afford to compete.

Can we agree that robocars shouldn't drive faster than that processing can occur?
Yes, that's possible. But in such a situation the data from the LIDAR looks very different than it does under normal conditions. You can easily tell when a backup camera is covered with dirt by looking at the image. Uber's self-driving software should have been able to detect a LIDAR failure in much the same way.
I've seen less technical friends on social media responding to the dashcam video saying "of course it hit her; it's way too dark to see!" without understanding that LIDAR doesn't use available light. People may not understand exactly what Velodyne does, but so long as the company supplies "the eyes for self-driving cars" they have a clear risk of the public thinking this was a sensor failure.
Google shares were all sold at one common price, which is not what your parent suggested.
You would have Lidar wipers[1] and the software should hopefully be able to detect obscured or failing sensor and alert driver or stop.
