If you are building an autopilot system, I’d expect 1) identify black/yellow hazard signs and 2) don’t hit them to be basic features by version 0.5. Seems like a big miss to run straight into that.
Yes, bad visibility could explain it, but Tesla themselves say it was 9.30am and the autopilot had "five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider".

> don't you pay the same fixed rate per flight in the US?

In a word, no.

---

Flights in the US are dynamically priced. Each airline decides how much they want to charge per particular flight for a particular person at a particular time (meaning, when you purchase the ticket). Prices fluctuate constantly. If you look up a flight from City A to City B today (and said flight departs within a reasonable amount of time; say, a month), it's fairly likely to have a different price tomorrow. Prices can also vary based upon how you book the ticket (i.e. travel agent, different travel websites, by phone, etc.).

It's very much possible, and generally expected, that you and the person you're sitting next to paid different amounts for what amounts to the same ticket.

There’s still a ‘native ordering’ of the inputs and outputs, so this FIFO process will still be able to ‘taint’ a specific deterministic set of the value-units, across one or more of the outputs.

Whether that’s a fair allocation of the taint is a separate issue. They have a case, in some jurisdictions based on that precedent, that the law would support their allocation, and further that this treatment has other efficiencies.

It’s sometimes the case that laws are construed to be predictable, and easy-to-apply, rather than maximally ‘fair’ according to deeper subjective case-by-case analysis.

If you want to get something done with microcontrollers, ARM Cortex-M tends to be much more powerful and is already great fun to write Rust for. It's a bit of work to get started--certainly a lot compared to Arduino which abstracts away even things that shouldn't be--but the code can be much more readable and portable than the corresponding C.

For example, get this $2 board http://wiki.stm32duino.com/index.php?title=Blue_Pill and use this library (see the examples!) https://github.com/japaric/stm32f103xx-hal

There probably will eventually be AVR implementations of https://github.com/japaric/embedded-hal so you could run mostly the same code on an Arduino board.
I have two quite different takes on this and the recent Uber crash

1. Simply stop using automated driving in real world until we have clear golden standards (something like billions of hours of simulated driving against real world data collected by other systems makers sensors. The accidents so far have been characterised by "that should not have been possible, not that was really hard edge case"

2. Accident reports make horrific reading (and upsetting for families especially). But like reports in day the FAA, there are benefits - openly sharing crash data makes (ok should make - see 1.) the next round safer. secondly just reading these things makes the humans involved more ... aware.

Some time ago i visited Ireland and was amazed to hear the local news announcing recent car deaths - it was a mandated thing, to try and raise awareness and reduce future accidents - it apperntly worked.

There is a crushable barrier there. It was broken that day, because someone had recently crashed into it. Drove past there yesterday, it has been replaced.
Side story, I have an open with crash warning.

On a highway I think it even detects crashes ahead of you ( had once two cars in a three lane almost crashing while one car tried to switch Lanes)

Well, back to story. I have a street where cars park left and right of the street like a zick Zack. There is one spot where it always warns me about a crash..

I find that I'm far more able to manage information overload by doing the exact opposite and moving non-human email into a newsreader. Email is for people, not newsletters or notifications. If you can move as much of the non-automated stuff into feeds as possible, then email actually becomes useful again. Feedbin has a feature [0] where it gives you an email address that places anything received into a feed, for example.

If it's any consolation that's not how autopilot on an airplane works. Pilots are expected to remain alert and ready to intervene in case of trouble.
It sounds like you really gave your all to your employer, and it left you feeling demoralized and depressed. It also sounds like you feel stuck. Stuck in the situation, stuck in the bad feelings. My heart goes out to you.

At times, I’ve put an unhealthy focus on work, and it’s left me feeling drained of life. Probably a similar feeling to yours.

It sounds like your schedule isn’t allowing for much human-to-human connection. (Away from computers!) I don’t know about you, but that’s probably the main human need I have when I overwork! I’d suggest limiting the evening learning sessions and try to invest in some friendships! Try to brighten up someone’s day!
No doubt new technology has been important, but there might have been another significant factor influencing generational changes: the number of aspiring pro players. This number has increased dramatically in the last 30 years, but in the paper they only consider the number of successful players (roughly equivalent to the top X ATP rankings, where X is somewhere between 200 and 500). X has also been increasing, but at much lower rate, and as a result there are vastly more people competing for those X spots today than in 1980. It could be that to get into the top 100 today is as hard as it was to get into top 10 thirty years ago.

As the natural selection gets more brutal, new players have to develop new, more effective skills to succeed.

RSS is awesome. Bring on its resurgence.

But.

It is fundamentally not fit as a Facebook or social media replacement because of it's lack of simple commenting support. It suits some curmudgeonly old farts like me, perhaps. But even I want to feedback sometimes or join in the discussion (hence this comment).

Are there solutions that a content creator can provide, via RSS, without requiring its readers to install particular jiggery pokery? Or is the only option HN / reddit style commenting sites, separate from the content?
The entire thing is two solid white lines on either side, which are pretty strong indicators that you shouldn't pass into that area in the first place, diagonal stripes or not.
How does infrastructure like that ever happen? Reading that made me feel slightly ill.
Assuming the single template argument version. If T has an implicit constructor taking type R as argument, wouldn't the second argument into max of type R be implicitly converted to T before getting passed to the max function? So there is no need for a special version taking both L and R?

This is a property of c++ implicit constructor rules, it is not unique to this function. In most cases this is something you want to avoid but for integer promotion it can some times be useful.

> They also seem to preserve the number of total CO2 molecules around.

Of course, they are chemical reactions. Did you think they would destroy atoms?

The idea here is to make renewable hydrocarbons: when you burn them, they are only putting CO2 that came from the atmosphere back, not releasing new CO2 from fossil fuels.

It assumes that you power this fuel-generator with renewable energy, of course.
Hey, I didn't mentioned it in this article because I have another article dedicated to serverless-express (https://medium.freecodecamp.org/express-js-and-aws-lambda-a-...), also we dedicated whole chapter of our book to it too with explanation how does it work, etc. (livebook link: https://livebook.manning.com/#!/book/serverless-apps-with-no...)
I've been slowly adding to my RSS feed since 2006. It's migrated from Google Reader to "The Old Reader".

For some sources, it's the only way to keep up. I like that I can keep track of web comics I'm interested in. For thinks like Medium and Wordpress, they already have a feed reading compatible format.

I also add my Github, so I can see when other people commit to repositories in my lab.

Feed reading is great because it allows one to lurk. It gives the consumer more control over when to view material.
Because the parameters to zip aren't positional, they are just multiple parameters of the same type.

I'm still not sure why they targeted me nor how? I'm neither famous nor a journalist or blogger or scientist or something like that.

Nonetheless,what can I do to find out how they tried it? Or if they broke in or if my network is comprised?

And what can I do to prevent in future? Beside 2fa.
That's disappointing - I'd assumed that every single disengagement would have been logged and uploaded for analysis and use as a regression test. That's what I'd be doing.
It's just timing. More people noticed the second one. Maybe a slight recognition penalty by abbreviating HIBP, but even without that, the same thing has happened to me more than once.

Edit to add: There is a dupe detector that prevents duplicate submissions, but I'm not sure what the parameters are (e.g., detection window duration, whether it does title matching). Sometimes when I've submitted dupes, it returns the previous submission rather than creating a new one. Clearly that didn't kick in in this case.

I don’t disagree with your point but it only addresses part of my problem.

For one thing, the Linux UIs like GNOME and KDE are terrible. They do the job for some people but I would willingly pay more to use OS X without hesitation.

I also have experienced many situations like the following, although typically not quite as extreme...

A coworker decided to purchase a Lenovo with Linux as a developer at a company where everyone else had MacBook Pros. He was very smug the first day or two about the specs of his laptop and it being open source Linux instead of OS X. Within a few days he was having such major issues connecting it to a 30” monitor (along with a few other issues related to Bluetooth/USB as far as I recall) that he called it a lemon and returned it for a MacBook.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m waiting for the amazing developer Linux laptop that replaces my MacBook Pro. But I just don’t see it coming for a while.
> I'm guessing they meant something like jinja,ejs,jade,etc. where you have your html in a separate file and your lisp code would just render said html file with the necessary variables

That doesn't benefit our designer who knows lisp well enough, and it doesn't benefit our programmer who knows lisp very well (or they would have done it).

> I'd be curious to find a designer who knew lisp better than HTML.

Well, if your team is a handful of lisp developers, then all of them.

Perhaps buried is the assumption that hiring/resources are free, or that there is some kind of gatekeeping for the term and title "designer". If it helps to make the point clearer: I program and I design, and I know lisp better than I know HTML.
It is only dangerous, if it is worse than the average driver.
The Uber car had lidar, although only one, whereas Waymo's have six: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-selfdriving-sensors-...
Outside of the Tesla marketing department, conditional probability has been known for 300 years. Comparing the average fatality rate to the fatality rate of a modern car with Autopilot is an egregious abuse of statistics. How can anyone defend this practice ?!

Just as an example, click on California (it is mostly consistent all over) on the map [1]. California has a lower average fatality rate of 1.01 per 100 million miles.

Rural roads have 2.62 fatalities per 100 million miles.
Urban roads have 0.70 fatalities per 100 million miles.

The fatality rate is much lower on highways, according to Wikipedia [2], freeways have 3.38 fatalities per billion km (0.54 per 100 million mile, if I managed the conversion).

what are some options for consuming ML models in the browser?
Very much agreed. Chris Wellons has a good description of why Atom supersedes RSS: http://nullprogram.com/blog/2013/09/23/

Adding Atom support to anything is trivial even without using a library, and there is a good schema for validating feeds: http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/atom-validation.htm
Let's play with statistics:

Scenario 1: 100 human drivers drive some distance. 2 bad drivers caused 150 accidents and both died in their last fatal accidents.

Scenario 2: 100 self-driving/autopilot-enabled cars drive the same road for the same distance. Everyone has one accident and one of them is fatal.

Statistical numbers:
Self-driving/autopilot-enabled cars cut both the accident rate and death rate by half. Death rate per accident is reduced from 2/150 to 1/100.

Conclusion: self-driving/autopilot is better.
So what is the intuitive explanation here? You can choose to code it 1/0 0/1 or -.5/.5, or -643/643 and the result you care about is different.

> That's not a mistake a healthy human will make.

Humans do exceedingly stupid things all the time because they stop paying attention, even momentarily (or subconsciously).

We put big lights on the back of cars that light up when they brake. And yet, despite a driver looking direct at a huge object with two lights, that rapidly grows larger right in front of them, does not always prevent a collision. Or even a chain of collisions. I don't get on the road much, and yet even I've seen a ton of accidents that are baffling and can only have been the result of a driver not paying attention for a bit.

I'm reminded of how in quite a few places removing signs and lights actually improved safety because it forced drivers to stay aware instead of 'driving on autopilot', so to speak.

I think that's the real issue here. The more we outsource our attention to a machine, the more important it is that said machine does MUCH better than we humans do. Especially if a mistake can be deadly.

But I wouldn't be surprised if, indeed, technically this accident could've happened just as easily by a non-autopilot car where the driver had a little 'micro-sleep', got distracted by something in his field of view, mistakenly thought he was on a lane and didn't notice the (let's be fair) ridiculously bad markers that were the only way to tell that part of the 'gray' stuff in front of him was in fact a wall of concrete.

I mean, just look at the image: https://imgur.com/a/iMY1x . Half of what makes the barrier stand out is the shadow!

All that said I might sound more argumentative than I am. I do agree with most of your comment.

The Whole Earth Catalog was like a preview of the World Wide Web, before the WWW existed. It was the best thing going back then, as far as ways to discover interesting things and, along with its companion publication Coevolution Quarterly (and later Whole Earth Review), ideas.

Also as an aside, Kevin Kelly, who is still producing interesting material today (http://kk.org), ran the magazine for a while, during which time he was developing the vision for what became Wired magazine. This was around the time of the software catalogs and in the early days of the Well. There's an edition of the Whole Earth Catalog called "Signal" which was essentially a preview of Wired, before some people with money came in and claimed credit for founding it... I think he is still given credit as a co-founder but he was the visionary and instigator who made it happen.

[Edit: I see in his own bio he says: "In 1992 I joined a small team which launched Wired magazine in January 1993." LOL! That's insanely modest. In around Spring of 1987 I sat with him in an office at Whole Earth Review while he described this magazine he wanted to do, a larger format magazine, breaking some size rules, with bright colors, bold, creative layout, and lots of experimentation with creative or just plain abusive typography, focused on tech and the culture around it... Signal had to rely on the older printing technology so it didn't have the color aspects as I recall but the vision he described in that meeting was 100% Wired magazine.]
