I have just seen one study (not exhaustive) that goes into some details about Tesla autopilot [0]

>Participants emphasized being alert at all times, paying attention to the road environment and keeping hands on the wheel while in autonomous driving mode.

...

> Drivers seem to enjoy these technologies, and are aware of the limitations of Autopilot and Summon. In the comments, we observed that drivers were highly motivated to use these technologies safely and have not seen indications of the concerns raised in the past such as engaging with secondary tasks while using Autopilot.

My guess is that they are unhappy because Tesla has decided they hold no responsibility. They blame 1) the driver and 2) Caltrans (for not maintaining the median).

The NTSB doesn't like to speculate. They like to have solid facts, and they want the manufacturer to take blame if need be, so they can fix things.
> This is completely irrelevant and false.

I, for one, would be generally dubious about making such a strong statement against something the NTSB has stated: it may well be the case that the system as designed should work as you describe, but why do they believe otherwise? Was there some flaw in the system?
same here, thanks for "push to kindle" feature guys!
Because, if Tesla signed up as a "party" to assisting with the investigation, that puts them under certain nondisclosure rules.[1] At the end of the investigation all the info comes out, but not in the early stages. Selectively releasing information that makes some party look good is not allowed if you are involved with the investigation.

This is widely understood in the aviation community. The mission of the NTSB is not to assist with either litigation or PR.

"Contacts with news media concerning the investigation will be made only by the NTSB, through the Board Member if on-scene, the NTSB’s representative of its Office of Public Affairs, or the IIC. The guiding policy is that the NTSB is a public agency engaged in the public’s business and supported by public funds. The agency’s work is open for public review, and the Act under which it operates makes this mandatory. The NTSB believes that periodic factual briefings to the news media are a normal part of its investigation and that, for the public to perceive the investigation as credible, the investigation
should speak with one voice, that being the independent agency conducting the investigation.
Therefore, the NTSB insists that it be the sole source of public information regarding the progress of an accident investigation. Parties are encouraged to refer media inquiries to the NTSB’s Office of Public Affairs.
In any case, release to the media of investigative information at any time is grounds for
removal as a party."

> 1. For DSP / image processing, 64-bit SIMD allows you to operate on twice as many elements as 32-bit SIMD

I think this is very much wrong. You do get more SIMD registers, but both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM have 128 bits wide SIMD registers. Same number of elements per instruction.

> 2. For normal computing, you get 31 64-bit registers instead of 15 32-bit registers (essentially 4x register memory)

Almost right. 14 vs 31. On 32-bit ARM, R13 is stack pointer, and R15 is PC, program counter. 64-bit ARM doesn't have PC mapped to register file anymore.

> 3. 128-bit floating point

As far as I know, AArch64 does not have 128-bit floating point. Nor would it really be useful except in very rare circumstances.
My interest in smart TVs ended almost instantly after I bought my first. I went to adjust the volume and there was an advertisement below the volume slider. Not an ad for Panasonic. Just a regular old banner ad for some random company. I disabled that "feature" in the settings then just disconnected the TV from the network entirely after discovering how terrible all the apps were.

I just use a Chromecast and Kodi on a NUC for everything now.
Ceph has some weird failure modes, though. Your radius of failure absolutely includes the entire cluster, regardless of how resilient its been made.

Sure, you're insulated from hardware failures, but not from bugs in the underlying system. Data loss is rare, but having a cluster go unavailable does happen.
Most studies are.
It's practicing a creative art for me. I took up the violin. One of the best decisions I ever made. I look forward to the day I can play for others.
Also they're interested in minimising risk in the future and providing recommendations to achieve that. It may well be the case that in a strict legal sense Tesla has no responsibility here, but from the NTSB's point of view that's irrelevant—the question is whether there's anything Tesla could do to minimise the risk of future incidents like this.
Is Japan really that incorrupt when they have zaibatsus and Yakuza?

That StackOverflow comment is wrong. Linux guarantees that for open(2) / creat(2) / socket(2) / etc. "[t]he file descriptor returned by a successful call will be the lowest-numbered file descriptor not currently open for the process." This has been the case for the entire 40+ year history of Unix, and was certainly relied upon in the days when select(2) could only handle file descriptor values that were less than 32.

> As broken and expensive as US healthcare is, you’re making 3x the money here

It's not a matter of the expected values, it's a matter of their distribution. The fact that you're making 3x as much doesn't change the fact that if you're unlucky for whatever reason you'll be in debt for the rest of your life.
Sounds like you've been in environments that have done network block storage incorrectly. If you do multi-path, redundant/replicated network storage with proper configurations in place, you shouldn't have a single point of failure. Ceph oddities aside.

Everything has issues given a long enough time span though. Each layer has an accounted level of risk, and it definitely is a balancing act.
> It seems the local government or highway agency also neglected their duty to maintain the highway safety barrier, a shockingly regular occurrence where I live as well. I’ve wondered how often someone is injured because they failed to repair a barrier for several months.

While the crash attenuators should exist and the various responsible authorities should maintain them appropriately, I find it frustrating that this is brought up in this conversation as if it's a significant factor. It might have saved this man's life, but this crash was sure to be incredibly violent with or without the barrier.

The existence of a crash attenuator could not and should not affect anyone's decision making that led to the car impacting the barrier. Not the driver, not Tesla, not autopilot.

I hope the NTSB comments on this and it leads to Caltrans doing a better job of replacing these quickly (if they haven't already committed to this in the aftermath of this incident), but I also hope that it has zero bearing on the rest of the report.
Overall it's good in Europe. But there are some specialists and specialist clinics in USA (high priced of course!) which can be better than in Europe. E.g. Houston medical center is a big area of specialist clinics (e.g. cancer) and I can imagine rich people do medical tourism to this places. It's somehow comparing Europe Universities with US ones... they are not on the same level.
> That’s like making the argument for abstinence vs. birth control.

I find that quite difficult to believe.

"Europe" is essentially meaningless as an identification of a place you live. The difference in culture, society and lifestyle between, say, Athens, Bucharest and Inverness is pretty extensive. There are of course some elements of shared culture, but there are also a whole bunch of different lifestyles.

The same applies in the US to some extent, though of course a common language and federal government homogenises the country much more.
Interesting, what model(s)? Also UHD OLED?
Kittens and other pets are like family
Some countries are worse in this respect than others. I've lived in lots of different places, I've never really felt much of an outsider because (1) I try hard to learn as much of the local language that I can, (2) I try to connect to the locals rather than to my fellow country men and (3) I try really hard to be nice to people and help where I can. Having some skills will make this much quicker. Even so, there are definitely many levels of inclusion and you'll likely never be seen as a local but that's pretty much expected since after all you're not.

In order of feeling accepted:

- Canada

- United States

- Poland

- Romania

Those are the countries where I've spent more than just a few months cumulatively, though I never actually had a permanent residence in the United States (I did have an American "Inc" and spent lots of time there). Even to this day I have more friends abroad than in the country I was born in (and where I live).

And moving back here was a mixed bag, for one the Canadian paperwork took forever (we really felt that Canadian government was taking advantage of us and stringing us along), for another there was serious concern about the quality of the education in the place where we lived.

As long as you think of yourself as an 'expat' rather than as an 'immigrant' you're on the wrong track.
If they are a party to the investigation, ignoring the non-disclosure rules makes Tesla seem to me like a dodgy company willing to act against established norms designed to ensure transport safety, and I hope they get the book thrown at them for it.

If they are not a party to the investigation, I'd question why not. When was the last time an aircraft manufacturer declined to be a party to the investigation? They recognise that if they get a reputation for being unsafe that has repercussions for future sales; I'd hope the same was true of car manufacturers!

To me, there's literally no way this makes Tesla look good.
What are your criteria for something to be "meaningful"? Does it have to be hard? Does it have to be emotional? Does it have to involve other people? Or can it just involve changing something for the better (e.g. via just a side coding project)? Because if I'm taking it at face value, to me, writing (say) a password manager that laymen and power users will all enjoy using (i.e. solving the password management problem once and for all) would be plenty meaningful, and it's easy enough to schedule into your spare time.
Sure, he is making 3x now, but there are a lot of people in the U.S who do not have healthcare or fall into real debt financing it.

On a side note, the NHS crisis worries me a lot, but I’m thinking it must be better than no public health care at all, right?
I think the idea is we don't know what they're not telling us because they haven't told us what they're not telling us.
Minio is cool. Unfortunately, performance is anyone's guess.

It has erasure coding as well. You could deploy on bare VM's with local storage in any cloud provider and have no dependency on network blocked storage.

With k8s 1.10 you get persistent local storage as well, as such you could probably build a fairly highly available system. Pro tip: do it in GCP as they have nice local SSDs you can attach to any instance. They're 375GB, 25k IOPS, and $.08GB, way cheaper than AWS I2 instances.
The good news here, is that many countries have double taxation treaties. So that you don't get taxed by 2 countries for the same income.

I imagine maybe the NTSB feels that their neutral position is being undermined? NTSB gave Tesla the data recorder in order for them to help the investigation, but then Tesla took some of the data on it and used to make a press release to put some spin on the event---probably the NTSB feels they were played...

I can only really discuss the UK, since that's the only place where I've bought home ISP service.

Only a handful of small specialist firms actually just move bits in the UK. Every single UK ISP big enough to advertise on television is signed up to filter traffic and block things for being "illegal" or maybe if Hollywood doesn't like them, or if they have "naughty" words mentioned, or just because somebody slipped. If you're thinking "Not mine" and it runs TV adverts then, oops, nope, you're wrong about that and have had your Internet censored without realising it. I wonder how ISPs got their bad reputation...

The autopilot warnings happened earlier in the drive and aren't even relevant to the crash, they're Tesla's smokescreen.

NUMTOTs idealizes city populations and social climates at the nadir of urban decay, and wishes that they could have all the infrastructure-investment trappings of contemporary global powerhouses without any of those pesky middle-class people ruining the culture and taking up space.

It's the revolutionary-socialist working class squabbling with the salaried middle class while millionaire homeowners cheer them on and pocket the home-equity gains of a "we should only build what we can publicly finance" development policy.

It holds that cities are great, but all actual examples of people internalizing this information and migrating towards urban lifestyles are crimes against humanity. It believes that people should not live in suburbs, but that development should be subject to as much local control as possible (maintaining a situation where most housing is in suburbs). These contradictions are held to be contradictions of capitalism itself, with a socialist revolution and a completely unspecified "make housing a human right" scheme as the only remedy.

It's fascinating, enthralling, maddening. I was really into it for a while and burned out.

I assume the capacity would be such that at least the expected number of people would be able to use the internet normally as if it were no different to something they were paying for. This isn't homeless-only free wifi, this is everyone-in-range free wifi.

How is this any different from any other deployment of wireless service to a given population? It's just the taxpayers pay the bill.

Or are you suggesting that some users are going to deploy multiple clients to hoard the bandwidth? That seems like a solvable problem.
My main problem with these DNS services is that they often break gated wifi networks that require a login page to access. It's horrible that it has become standard practice to take over DNS to redirect to a access gate — but as users, your choices are either: suck it up, or no internet.

Does anyone have a better solution for this?

(Also — why no IPv6 DNS?)
See, this is a weird ill-informed argument to make.. Estonia is ranked by most observers as having levels or corruption roughly equivalent to other developed western democracies.
It wasn't obvious to me from those quotes: this study is an analysis of an online survey the authors posted in Tesla forums and I suppose on Twitter. It's not based on anything like neutral observation of real behavior.

"We conducted an online survey with 162 Tesla Owners. The survey was distributed through online forums and social media during April-May 2016. The survey asked questions about drivers’ attitudes towards and experiences with two functionalities built into Tesla Model S cars: Autopilot and Summon. Questions covered frequency of use, satisfaction, ease of learning and knowledge related to Autopilot and Summon. Additionally, we asked participants to report unusual or unexpected behaviors they experienced while using these systems and what they consider a key aspect of safety. The average time to complete the survey was 9.6 minutes."
Yep. What this situation shows is that open data is faaaar faaaar worse represented than open source. There is not even a faint whisper of possibility, you know, not using proprietary platform and use the internet the way it was meant to be used.
Hmmm, I'm sensing a subtext here :)

Honestly, stress and anxiety are things I don't struggle with, at least not according to my vitals. My resting heart rate is typically in the high fifties (but I recorded 47 bpm at my last checkup). I actually struggle a bit with low blood pressure, often getting light headed when I stand up. I don't have insomnia, I'm on no medication whatsoever, I've never had stomach ulcers, I have a full head of hair, and people routinely guess my age about 10 years too young.

I think you might just be struggling a bit with the idea of someone who evaluates long term risk differently than you do. You might end up on the other side of that at some point. For example, I know a guy from Cambodia who thinks you're an idiot for insisting on wearing shoes when you leave the house. He'd say you're destroying your feet's physiological function by cramming them into shoes, and that
your only problem is that you've refused to allow them to toughen up to the level they naturally would to match their environment. Now are you going to start motorbiking barefoot around town? I'm guessing not.

I get it from the other direction too. Some people think I'm stupid for allowing my kids to ride their bikes in the park without helmets. I can explain that my kids are much more enthusiastic about riding because I don't load them down with a bunch of uncomfortable safety gear. I can also explain that my kids are far more likely to get a head injury riding inside a car, and we don't wear helmets in cars do we?

These arguments sometimes work, but for the most part, people are pretty stuck on what they know from their own narrow experiences.
