> I hope they aren't just saying that because the driver's hands were off the steering wheel, the crash occurred and is his fault for not obeying the agreement.

That's exactly Tesla's official stance - if you crash you're SOL and at fault, Autopilot or Auto Emergency Braking be damned.

"Man you have got to be ready — it makes mistakes, it loses track of the lane lines. You have to be on your toes all the time," says Wozniak. "All Tesla did is say, 'It is beta so we are not responsible. It doesn't necessarily work, so you have to be in control.'

"Well you that is kinda a cheap way out of it."
It allows them to develop self driving technology without the expense of dedicated cars and paid drivers, and without any liability (because drivers take the risk).
Example:

(Case 1) A world in which individuals are completely free to do with their wealth as they will (so, no taxes, regulations, etc).

(Case 2) A world in which individuals are absolutely prohibited from wealth transfer. At the time of their death, all individual assets / privileges are seized, then redistributed evenly to the next generation.

Select a random individual from a new generation in each case.

Would you disagree that they have different effective individual liberty? That is, the options available to them to pursue in life?

Essentially, I see effective liberty as the product of rights and means to exercise those rights. And I believe the greatest individual liberty cannot be created without balancing both requirements.
> I don't even want the probability of encountering a mishap to be once per lifetime,

This doesn't seem reasonable - Waymo's report doesn't dive in depth enough about each disengagement to warrant this sort of extreme reliability.

If "2 disengagements" per year, were at most fenderbenders - something I'd wager humans do way more than twice per year - that would be a very different story than if those 2 disengagements were life threatening. Sure you'd wake up from your nap, but you wouldn't be dead, and at most you'd have to exchange insurance information.

In photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide is merely a source of carbon. The energy that fuels the reaction comes from light.

I prefer to look at it the other way around. Why would you need to log IPs? It’s like asking people for their social security number (USA) just to have a unique identifier—this is more info than you need.
10km * 10km = 38 square miles, BTW

In nevada, you have about 3600 sun hours per year, so about 40% of all hours.

So ignoring transmission losses, "reverse fuel cell efficiency", wouldn't we expect an average of 64 MW from each square kilometer of solar panels?
A couple of days later... So, re-reading this thread you could make the same case for Trump being a Russian asset based on the 'actions that make no sense' including not implementing the sanctions, the pro-Russian modifications of the republican platform regarding the US position vs Ukraine and so on. And yet, I'd find - absent proof - that just as hard to stomach as seeing Assange as a Russian agent.
The point is that without a way to tether your phone to a 'real computer', you have to be actively trying to use more than a couple of GB of data per month, so "unlimited" really means "up to maybe 5GB". While tethering was possible beforehand, it became much easier when wifi tethering was added to Android. This let anyone push a button and use their 3G / 4G data connection for torrenting, streaming and other such heavy duty usage, and suddenly "unlimited" phone plans were seeing hundreds of GB per month.
Great info. How would you approach marketing a B2B business on Instagram vs a B2C?

I think it's the ({ }) bit (or perhaps the typeofs) that turns it from a constant expression to a constant value, but I'm not really sure. But yeah, something about cmp_once makes it the wrong kind of syntax.
Not the op, but the post is probably referring to systemd.

There are a few rough edges on classic init, syslog, dns, x11 session management, unix fs permissions, etc, etc.

Systemd is a “better,” “principled,” rewrite of all that stuff from scratch. It is being done in a monolithic way (i.e., shoved down users’ throats), and none of the replacements for the subsystems are actually ready for primetime use (and probably never will be).

This seems to be a great thing for the BSD’s, except that Linux desktop environments no longer run their properly.

Personally, I attribute this more to the widely-adopted, ever-popular CADT software development process(), but I don’t disagree with the OP’s point.

Not ironic — that is exactly why I said QALYs and not just years.

The concept of Facebook was always terrible. Why do we need a single platform for people to congregate socially? We have a distributed platform built with common protocols and services that we can all use.

Let the web be distributed physically, organizationally, and socially. Let people congregate for purpose and not for the sake of congregation itself.

We are here on Hacker News because of a common interest. I belong to a number of sites fulfilling a way of connecting to people who share the same niche interests. I don’t want everything under one roof or in a single walled garden. AOL failed and the Internet succeeded—stop trying to bring it back because it’s more profitable for those that run it.
People do not pull over to the shoulder when they are between lanes in (presumably) busy traffic, which is where you have to be to hit a median.

I am not sure if Tesla's current system, which is still just cruise control with steering, should ever be changing lanes unprompted. I don't have a Tesla but I would not want my car's cruise control to do that right now. I do think that pulling over in safe conditions is something that a self-driving system needs to be able to do at some point on the path to full autonomy.
very deceptively crafted sentence. if i drove on AP for 15 minutes and i was alerted to put my hands on the wheel 2 minutes in.

It would fit tesla's specially crafted statement.

It makes it look like user was warned and didn't respond by putting their hands on the wheel but its completely false. The AP drove him straight into the barrier with no warning.
Speak for yourself, I’d love to build a ton of shit I’ve seen in Black Mirror.
They aren't exposed to ABI surfaces. Only C compatible stuff would be.
The article under discussion here involves the 16 year old girlfriend complaining about how she was mistreated, complaints substantiated by other witnesses.

I was not previously familiar with Seinfeld's relationship with a much younger woman, but a quick search indicates they dated for a few years while she was in college and then the relationship ended. She apparently turned down his marriage proposal.

She has apparently not come forward to suggest that he was mistreating her. If she did, that story would likely get plenty of press. People apparently gave him a hard time about the relationship at the time.

We aren't frying Seinfeld because his much younger ex girlfriend isn't accusing him. Ultimately, her opinion here carries more weight than that of the rest of the world. Whatever people may think of the inappropriateness of the age difference, as far as I know, she is not claiming she was victimized.
I still don't understand -- do you have an example application in mind?

You seem to be conflating producing ML models -- i.e. doing machine learning -- with "consuming" ML models -- i.e. asking the learned models to make a prediction. You don't need any ML in the browser to do the latter. And I can't see why you'd do ML in the browser to do the former...

The video is funny. Re the first argument Top Gear wrote a script with the Telsa breaking down and faked the thing so I can see why Musk was annoyed. They lost the court case because Top Gear argued Tesla couldn't show they'd hurt sales.

Exactly - anyone who owns autopilot knows this.
The C version works with distinct types for a and b. Does this?
There are potential mechanisms;

> Human cryptochrome exhibits light-dependent magnetosensitivity

> "Humans are not believed to have a magnetic sense, even though many animals use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. One model of magnetosensing in animals proposes that geomagnetic fields are perceived by light-sensitive chemical reactions involving the flavoprotein cryptochrome (CRY). Here we show using a transgenic approach that human CRY2, which is heavily expressed in the retina, can function as a magnetosensor in the magnetoreception system of Drosophila and that it does so in a light-dependent manner. The results show that human CRY2 has the molecular capability to function as a light-sensitive magnetosensor and reopen an area of sensory biology that is ready for further exploration in humans."

And I have heard of studies getting some effect by looking at people's orientation when lost, with and without big magnets strapped to their head, though I don't seem to be able to find it just now.

I dunno. There's something nice about holding people accountable to past statements. There's also something nice about knowing that "If I hit submit, I'll be stuck with this FOREVER" People tend to be a bit more thoughtful in that scenario. The thoughtless jerks aren't, of course, but there's not much that can be done about them in any social network.

Practically speaking the only thing anyone every _really_ complains about is the inability to edit typos.
Yes, they're admitting that Swift is a way batter language for data science work.
It's not a True Scotsman in this context. The point is that humans tend to crash into things they're not fully aware of, short of self-harm.

Either:

A) The autopilot could not see a concrete barrier in its path.
B) More likely, and as the story reports, it WAS aware of the danger but didn't do anything.

Either case is at least worth discussing, no?
Does this coerce distinct type a and b, or just fail if they are different types? The C one will evaluate the comparison / trinary expression via the usual integer promotion rules.
I thought the auto pilot warned the driver to take control of the vehicle or is that incorrect? There is probably a lot more we don't know and it would be premature to place the blame on the auto pilot and Tesla. This isn't a lvl 5 system. It still requires the drivers attention and that is something we need to consider ( he obviously didn't have his hands on the wheel).
Stuffing people into Memory Holes.
The Star Trek whose utopia needed a world war against the ethnic cleansing of genetically engineered Nazi supermen and an alien invasion to "civilize" humanity in the post-apocalyptic aftermath? After which which humankind just somehow evolved beyond the petty desires and violent impulses that had hitherto been baked into its primate genome for millions of years?

I love Star Trek but one person's utopia is another person's dystopia, it's just a matter of perspective.

And as far as technology goes, the original series predicted a couple of things, and we got a Space Shuttle named after the Enterprise, but most of it is magic and therefore useless to the real world. No matter how hard we work or how much we believe in ourselves we're never getting matter replication or transporters or holodecks that will create sentient life on command.

We could look at the ideals of Star Trek, but remember that what we see is quasi-militaristic, autocratic and there is no real sign anywhere of privacy or freedom from the surveillance infrastructure of the computer. Even the transporters keep copies of people's entire genetic code.
as noted elsewhere in this thread: Scuttlebutt. https://scuttlebutt.nz
That's an interesting question. Similarly, one could ask why the focus on fatalities rather than crashes as Tesla's superior traditional safety rating means fewer crashes should be fatal, all else equal.

However, these questions don't lead anywhere interesting. Model S and X cars were driven before and after Autopilot was activated (no hardware change), and the crash rate was reduced after activation. This is the "40% reduction" mentioned by Tesla in the article you pulled the quotes from. You can read a summary here: https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/19/14326258/teslas-crash-rat...
I mostly rode the train from SC to Boston and back (Southern Crescent) ... it's dual track all of the way. Also DC to Chicago, southern route, dual track all of the way.
>semiautonomous Autopilot

Seems like an oxymoron that's getting drivers into danger.

>Tesla said its vehicle logs show the driver’s hands weren’t detected on the wheel for six seconds before the collision, and he took no action despite having five seconds and about 500 feet of unobstructed view of a concrete highway divider.

And it's not the first time.
In many ways, the display is a more sensible place for it. This could be a good thing long as they make the GPU component replaceable. There is such a high difference between the expected lifespan of an upmarket display and a performant GPU.
A level of skeptism is always healthy. Also recognise there are a endless 'maybes'. Anyone that works with data knows there has to be a level of trust and common sense otherwise you hit analysis paralysis.

And on 'trust' Tesla have a history of being open and upfront. Organisations tend to repeat a culture. So for Uber I would closely question their statements given an ongoing history of unethical behaviour across many levels. It seems likely they will lie or show limited truth to reach an agenda. Tesla's history seems open and honest.
That's interesting. How would he know the degree to which he influenced the election? Believing any claims to somehow fact rather than plain old self-promotion seems rather naive, or am I missing something?
The delay event(bankruptcy, Visa’s servers go down for an hour) is meaningless. The point of debate is “Is the payment settled?”. To which the answer is a simple “no”.
1) You respect user privacy.

2) Your product is user privacy related and you want to state truthfully you do not record user IP addresses anywhere on your end (such as nginx logs that you may still need to debug issues in production).
At least around me (SF Bay area), social service/healthcare non-profits are open to hiring felons, and do so regularly. At my current job, the best boss I've ever had revealed she was a felon at her going-away party on her last day. Organizations with missions focused on building life/parenting skills actively seek people who have learned from their mistakes, and who want to help others do the same.
Tesla says fatal crash involved Autopilot
But unfortunately the real world is full of poorly designed, under-maintained roads driven on by drivers who are looking at their phones or have mechanical issues without warning. If the self-driving cars can't handle it, then they shouldn't be on the roads. The roads will never be perfect.
Apple could have a similar situation. Via the iOS SDK, developers can ask for access for a phone’s address book. These contact connections could be harvested by bad developers. They could also be sold by those developers. This is merely one example. All companies with data and APIs are vectors of attack.
If you ignore it long enough, the autopilot will disengage entirely. The car will drive in a straight line and coast to a stop.
Question is “good for what?”

It simply doesn’t have the polish, or flexibility that I’d need to effectively stay on it for long. I always end up spending longggg times customizing things only to feel little integration, little support, and a lack of decent third party software. Sketch is Mac only. Spotify barely has a Linux client. Certainly no photoshop, medocire native email clients, zero IM that integrate with any networks I use (sms/iMessage), etc etc. Yes there’s lots of options as a webpage, but that’s a shallow substitute.

If you happen to need only the stuff that’s available, and your workflow is largely CLI-driven, then it’s probably fine. Otherwise it’s macOS for me.
This 40% has nothing to do with Autopilot and applies to any cars with auto braking.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says automatic braking — which can bring the car to a stop if it senses an imminent collision — can reduce rear-end crashes by 40 percent.
Is there a reason that people are only talking about the privacy angle?

People very much don't want these models to exist. They don't want a predictive model which will guess their affiliation just by providing unrelated Activity bread crumbs.

That's why I assumed this whole issue has exploded recently.

Not the privacy, but the implications.
That doesn't matter, because it still contradicts the statement that "He stands behind what his company does and believes in the mission."
Their statement blames:

-The driver

-The crushed barrier

-Statistics

But they do not take responsibility themselves. It's apparent and in my opinion shameful.

If Tesla's goal of this is to just share the facts, why didn't they state what AutoPilot did? In addition to statements like "...the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision.", wouldn't it make sense to have a statement like "AutoPilot seems to have made a grave error here, and steered the car into the barrier."

They never admit that their car didn't perform properly. This reads like a carefully crafted, legal approved statement - not the more human statements that we see many times after tragedies. This absolutely lowers my opinion of Tesla by a decent amount.

"We feel very bad about what happened... and want to take responsibility and do what's right" - A quote from the Walmart CEO after a Walmart truck accident injured Tracy Morgan and killed another man. I wish Tesla could stand up and say the same in this case (if the evidence points that way, which it appears to).

https://www.cbsnews.com/video/walmart-ceo-on-tracy-morgan-ca...
It seems gross that they spend so much of this saying "yeah he died and it may be our fault, but statistically you're still better off as our customer."

The atlantic had a relevant piece on the morality there this morning https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/03/got-9...

And that's assuming they can identify that autopilot is statistically safer. If autopilot isn't used in the same conditions as all human driving, the rates aren't apples to apples comparisons, and the "you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident" figure they imply is misleading.
Cloudflare is nothing compared to amazon and google.

The difference is that the data is on your phone, not Apple's servers (unless you back up with iCloud, but even then I believe it's encrypted). You can decide which apps to run on your device; you have no control over what Facebook does on its servers.
I notice they don't mention that the driver complained that the autopilot had trouble with this specific spot on the highway a few times before. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16719736
Very well written article. Very much enjoy it. Personally speaking, I am very skeptical of the bell curve theory and perhaps, how much genetics plays a part in intelligence and IQ standards? Very much agree on the author POV on how the history of segregation and racism would have a more compounding effect than genetics. However, if ancestral origins have IQ gaps, I hope that people can join the debate and discuss this hot-button issue as adults.
Actually, treatment should stay at 0/1, now that I think about it. You want the intercept of the model to represent the result without treatment. The intercept should be the average of the two genders, though.

Because it's not about control?
No it doesn't, which is one of the major advantages it has over the C version; you have to do an explicit cast when the args are different types (almost always a potential source of subtle bugs).

Or what edflsafoiewq said: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16721559

It is however trivial to write a version that works with distinct types, if that were really what you want.

template<class L, class R>
constexpr std::common_type_t<L, R> max(L l, R r) {return l < r ? r : l;}
You'll have to give the template parameter explicitly, like

max<int>(-1, 2u) // => 2
