Thanks.

What I don’t like about this is that video is evidence. Whoever took it down is participating in the culture of cover ups, that we pat ourselves on the back so much for lamenting. Censorship is de rigeur. Why? Why accept this? “This video contains content from Sirius XM, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”

Copyright grounds my ass. He was grooming a 13-y.o.

Shame, Sirius XM. Shame on you, and on the execs who made the call to censor that video.

> Of course Tesla is fairly safe behind their disclaimers and warnings

I don't think so. All it will take is a Tesla plowing into a sidewalk full of people, and no hand-wavy gesture at a license agreement is going to make the political and legal pressure go away.
It was poor planning and I assume dishonesty on the local organizers part. I attend school a couple blocks from where Fest was held. Even by myself, I almost always lose signal in the exact area where Fest was held. Its usually not much of a big deal because I can walk for another block and get signal back, but if you're having an event in that exact spot that require cell signal, you're going to have a bad time.
Relying on a service does not always result in a SPOF. The time CloudFlare was unavailable (globally or for very noticable impact) can be counted on one hand for me... While AWS outages already need me to resort to hands and feet.
One of them was 13, the other 14. I would add that it’s probably worth appending a mental, “that we know of so far,” to all of this.
After rereading this article [1], I’d have to agree the Erdos model is ill-fitting — but still disappointed no model was mentioned.

It is in this last process that it is individual-based. It is in this last process that AB tests are done individually as a function of the specific strategy applied to him/her
I think that's irrelevant, because people generally don't care. If nobody cares the media won't report on it. The difference this time is that the word "Facebook" now has a causal relationship to the effectual word "Trump".

This isn't panic about privacy. People still don't care and will continue using Facebook like nothing happened. This is about what happens with the data that people donate to Facebook. What Facebook does with it.

Now people are suddenly worried or offended about the use of the data they completely surrendered. Of course this isn't going to stop people from continuing to surrender that data. They are just sad and powerless.

This sort of behavior is called addiction, but people are very far from admitting they have a problem. It is so much more convenient to simply blame something else.
> Tesla Autopilot does not prevent all accidents – such a standard would be impossible – but it makes them much less likely to occur. It unequivocally makes the world safer for the vehicle occupants, pedestrians and cyclists.

These kinds of unequivocal statements are just begging for a lawsuit, imo. They simply don't know that this is true.

I think the issue is that Facebook hasn’t done anything to curb bullying, terrorism, fake news or electioneering. They allowed CA to abscond with user data and they took Russian money to target voters. If they can’t track their ads or comply with federal election laws, that’s a big problem.
In the moments before the collision, which occurred at 9:27 a.m. on Friday, March 23rd, Autopilot was engaged...

The rest may be true, may be germane, or may not be. The only part that matters to me until the results of the NTSB investigation is made public, is that the autopilot did this.
Facebook's goal was never community. Its original goal was to compare your life with your friends' lives (remember it was derived from Facemash). What you propose sounds like Nextdoor. Take the best features of Nextdoor along with the best features from other platforms (e.g. Twitter's quips and slimness, Snapchat's impermanence, Mastodon's decentralization), and provide something new, not something similar.
The MTA is already budgeted for 32 billion in new capital acquisitions across the next five years.

City revenues are 93 billion annually. The City government could easily fund the extra 5bn/year out of the general fund without any hinky schemes. It chooses not to because the MTA wastes substantially all of its capital spending -- adding City money to the bonfire won't be rewarded by voters.

Given the MTA's track record, an extra $5 billion a year would buy us what, _one_ extra subway station, ten years from now?

Tesla Says Autopilot Was Engaged in Fatal Crash Under Investigation
It's all about the industrial complex design, during the industrial revolution. Kids are supposed to sit in rows, show up to school on time, so they can fit in easily in the factories when they come of age. Also since child labor, was abolished, that means parents who work at factories have to drop their kids of at 0745 School time, so they can catch the buggy / walk to the factory. Once you take the work element, out you'll notice no kids needs to spend 8-10 hours at school.
But now since our 'work' is no longer mechanical but more 'conceptual' we've to make school only places to socialize.
Terrifying. As much as anything, because I could see how it could be justified. How awesome would it be if that guy who drives like an asshole all the time would actually have that affect his life?

However, of course the system will be used to penalize social dissent and change first and foremost. It would be like the perfect springboard for ad hominem attacks. “He seems to have good points on why local officials should not accept bribes, but he only brushes his teeth once a day.”

Just. Terrifying.
I agree, but also I've recently learned about all the different types of insurance one can buy. This means you could reasonably well hedge against these issues that affect one who isn't earning a salary.
De-throne in the sense of being the top-tier multi-master consistent transactional DB. I doubt too many people use Spanner outside of Google in reality. Google would likely eventually adopt cockroackdb if it was clearly better long term.
I get the folks who are upset because this kills a piece of their childhood. But imagine being one of those girls who grew up with stars in their eyes about animation, or some other art form. And then imagine having had this experience. It would be so hard for the entire art form not to feel tainted afterwards.

Yes, nowadays none of us can watch and enjoy The Cosby Show like, ever again, but maybe that's ok if it means a predator is no longer able to be a predator.
There is zero reason for not using the autopilot at the location based on Tesla's own explanation.
Really not much additional info here aside from the number of warnings the driver had. Also, the standard "Tesla is 10x safer" metrics that get pulled out each time a crash gets sensationalized.

What I think they fail to address, especially in this case, is that the autopilot did something a human driver who was paying attention would never do. Autopilot does a great job of saving people from things even a wary driver would miss, much less a negligent one, but the fatal accidents that occur in statistics are not from people who are fully watching the road missing the fact that there's a concrete barrier with yellow safety markings directly in their path, and hitting it head on for no good reason (e.g. evasive action because of another driver, etc, oh a stupid last-minute "oh crap that's my exit").

I want autopilot to succeed, and I want Tesla (and Musk) to succeed, and for the sake of their public image they have to realize that this isn't an average accident statistic, a lapse in attention or evasive maneuvering. It's a car that seemingly plowed right into a concrete barrier while still under complete control. That's not a mistake a healthy human will make.
I've ridden a lot of Amtrak and it's never been on a single track line. Are you sure that's an actual problem? Long delays, sure, but is that the reason? Seems to usually be train equipment failure.
Wow. Interesting reading through the top rated HN comments on this. I'm obviously in the minority:

This is an incredible value to normal humans who are not in the tech field. This password manager will help them proactively discover a stolen password. This is a powerful step forward for normal people who don't have any grasp of how bad the security situation is in the world.

I know this isn't perfect for technicians, but I would recommend this as worthy of subscription for my family members who I love but for whom I am unwilling to provide IT support.

And even a lot of that isn't fair because PHP has always integrated C libraries directly; which was a huge strength when it was new. A function like mysql_real_escape_string isn't a PHP function, it's a MySQL function ( https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-real-escape-st... ).

Thank you! I'm very happy it pleased you so much :) I second the recommendation of Without Hot Air. It's very unfortunate MacKay won't be able to update it to reflect the developments of the last decade, and the next one.
When the third failure/warranty claim happens, you have a right to refuse the repair, return the item and ask for the money back (the same amount that is on the bill). So by selling to the third party, you took the loss.
Precisely because it's more powerful, it doesn't encode the identifying information of the original data. Something like PCA likely would retain identifying characteristics (depending on how many low-rank vectors you drop).
Am I the only one that finds it odd that a human also ran into the same barrier within 24 hours of the crash? Perhaps Caltrans is partially to blame.

(Full disclosure: Their incompetence almost killed me a few times back in my I-880 commuting days)

I bought a dev kit when they became available, hoping to move my gaming from my 10-year-old PC to my 15" MBPr. What I figured out was that, despite the graphics performance being great, I was still hampered by the fact that the AAA games available on the Mac are still just Windows ports. Civ V and VI ran smooth to scroll around the screen, even at high detail and resolution, but actually performing the actions, and waiting for the computer to process the AI players' turns, was abysmal.

Against everything I hold right and proper, I installed Windows 10 with Boot Camp. I only ever got the external display to work once, and couldn't repeat it.

I wound up just moving the RX580 to my aging PC as an upgrade.

I REALLY want to live in this world, but it's going to take natively-developed games to get there. But hey, they're coming. I'm buying them, and, often, not even playing them; just trying to send the message.
Are you aware of photosynthesis? free use of plentiful energy? do you have something against the kingdom of plants?
This feels particularly evasive. If you want to claim that your technology is 10x safer, you should be able to back that up with self-insurance, and not try to put the blame on the driver.

If the autopilot does not think it is capable of driving safely, it should pull over to the shoulder of the road, not beep and flash.
Are you able to specify the sources based on which you are supporting these claims, namely that elections are not not decided by "undecided" voters but rather by pushing your supporters to the election polls?
They definitely know. They collect your driving data even when auto pilot is off, so I'd imagine they collect everything when the autopilot is actually engaged.
abmx maybe?
What happens if the bad actor desides to spend some amount of the stolen currency to taint random wallets?
Then let's add some perspective. You must be referring this[0] paper. If the average person puts on 1,000 miles per month[1], then that means they'd have to deal with disengagement (a mishap) at least twice a year, which is not acceptable for fully autonomous driving. I'm going to define a "fully autonomous vehicle" as "a vehicle which should not ever require me to sit in the front seat and control it under any conceivable circumstance".

Put differently, I should be able to lay down for a nap in the back seat and wake up at my destination without any chance for disengagement during my entire lifetime. At the current rate of 1 mishap per 5,500miles, I would be dead after about 6 months.

Assuming a human lives to 75 years (we should really be using 75years minus 16years, but it's unimportant), a lifetime of driving is about 1,000mi/mo x 12mo/yr x 75yr = 900,000 miles. I don't even want the probability of encountering a mishap to be once per lifetime, let alone once per 6 months. One mishap per 900,000 miles isn't enough, because, on average, I'd encounter one disengagement in my lifetime. Assuming we're striving for a world where 7 billion people can drive without a single incident in 75 years (a vast underestimate), we need the probability of a mishap to occur to be less than once per 7,000,000,000humans x 900,000mi/human = 63 x 10^14 miles.

1/5e3 is not even close to 1/6e15. We're talking about 12 orders of magnitude in our error rate. I'd say we're laughably far away from our goal. We've got a long way to go.

Phase 1: Digital Marketing Checklists for Beginners
A New A.I. Era Dawns for Chip Makers
That's a bit of hand-waving to get to the crux: the current HN collective is mostly unaware of recent decades, and does not care for it. Unless one makes a pandering connection with some name visible in the present day. It's a sad state.

There have been some HN stories about the Long Now foundation, which would be a simple, present path for readers to know about Stewart Brand. But these stories weren't popular either.

Edit: observations are not assumptions. Bemoaning the sad state of the world is normal when you observe intellectual or moral decay.
"When in doubt: authoritative servers 'host' DNS data, 'resolvers' look up things over at authoritative servers and clients run 'stub resolvers' to look things up over at resolvers."

What about programs run by clients that look things up over at authoritative servers? (Programs that do not look things up over at resolvers.)

"Zone files are one way of storing DNS data, but these are not integral to the operation of a nameserver. The zone file format is standardized, but it is highly non-trivial to parse.

...

Of specific note, many people have attempted to write a grammar (parser) for zonefiles and it is almost impossible."

I am guessing this statement is only referring to "BIND" zone file format.

I wonder how that could be a desirable or even acceptable state of affairs: having a "standardized" format that is "almost impossible" to parse.

The author suggests zone files are "not integral" to operation of a nameserver.

If zonefiles are optional does that also leave the programmer the option to use a zonefile format of their own choosing?

IME, parsing a tinydns zonefile is not difficult at all, because the author did not use the "standardized" BIND zonefile format.
> In the moments before the collision, which occurred at 9:27 a.m. on Friday, March 23rd, Autopilot was engaged with the adaptive cruise control follow-distance set to minimum.

Would've loved to know the exact moments we are talking about here. Is it 5 seconds or 5 minutes?

> The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision.

What does this mean? Did Tesla want to give over control to driver? Or just normal no hands?

> The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken.

Again its hard to know if Tesla wanted to give up control or not. 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.
Another possible reason is battery life，which is hardly be over 16hours if they choose NVIDIA independent graphic cards.
They have confirmed the autopilot was on:

https://www.tesla.com/blog/update-last-week’s-accident
They have failed to keep it secure for as long as I can remember. They are still able to sell it despite that, because people own Windows-only applications.
Well I don’t work in autonomous cars but I did work on several autonomous robots, and “ Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization” is a common way to keep a ROS + LIDAR based robot localized.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Monte Carlo techniques are useful for all manner of things related to ingesting sensor data on autonomous vehicles.
It's more about what the autopilot didn't do than what it did do. It did drive straight ahead into a concrete barrier. It didn't see the barrier. If it had seen the barrier (as is reasonable to expect), it wouldn't have driven into it. Thus what it didn't do caused what it did do.
Well, there's 9.9.9.9 (Quad9.net) which is global and secure, too.
Tesla specifically said that the information was in the car and wasn't transmitted to HQ, so they didn't know. If what you say is true, they're lying to the USG.

Let me share an example. I had an accident in a Model S, front-end, which didn't cause a loss of power. Tesla called me a couple of minutes later, saying that they knew I'd had an airbag-deploying accident, and asking if I needed an ambulance. From the description of this accident, power to the Tesla was lost before there was time to phone home.
Organic chemistry is not an elementary school course. Science taught in grade school usually has few inter-dependencies because it aims to cover a very broad range of topics at a very basic level. Ditto history.
This is actually surprising. Are the machine learning engineers at Google (besides Chris Lattner) admitting that Swift is a better language than Go? :) I would be surprised to find out if he was the only one involved in the decision
> the autopilot did something a human driver who was paying attention would never do.

Then how did the crushed barrier get crushed before the Tesla hit it? Clearly, the stretch of road is unsafe enough to trick humans drivers (and, clearly, Tesla should improve).
I had a few interactions with them over the years, and the official answer has always been (quote) "...we have no intention of removing the standalone licenses as an option." (email exchange in Aug 2016).

Of course they can change their minds at any moment, but they did enough things right over the years that I have chosen to trust them.

Business-wise, they already have the best of both worlds: a cloud-based option for regular users (which generates steady income), and a standalone option for pro users who want full control (which generates spiky income, and a lot of goodwill).

From a brand perspective, pro users are much more likely to be spreading the word to friends and family (I definitely don't want my mom to be dealing with Dropbox issues, so cloud is just fine for her). From a cost perspective, maintenance of the standalone version is likely minimal, compared to supporting a cloud service safely.

Killing the standalone option would be net negative.
Look, statutory rape laws are not new. I remember being a 16 year old girl. If a 40 year old man had approached me in that way, I wouldn't have thought, "Oh it's the 90's! This is fine!" I would have been creeped out and appalled...which is why predators have to start out subtly and groom their victims over time.

This behavior has not been "fine" or "legal" for quite some time, but it was tolerated by individuals in a community, especially if the perpetrator had influence. The culture of tolerance has changed, that's it. And it hasn't even changed that much. R. Kelly is known to groom and abuse underage girls, and he's not currently in prison where he belongs.
it's a mistake that healthy humans make all the time, which is why those crash barriers exist in the first place, and why that particular crash barrier was damaged by a previous crash.
