Apparently their radar can only see objects that move.

So, to see this barrier, you'd have to guess its distance from 2D images. That's a hard problem. I think this would be called "obstacle detection using stereo vision" or maybe even "monocular vision" if they're using one camera.

There isn't as much research into this field as there is in systems that use lidar because lidar has been proven to work, and academics probably don't care as much about building their products at massive scales, so the cost of lidar doesn't matter as much.

Searching Arxiv for that phrase [1], the top result is a paper called A Joint 3D-2D based Method for Free Space Detection on Roads [2] that uses Lidar. The next result that doesn't mention lidar is Free Space Estimation using Occupancy Grids and Dynamic Object Detection [3].

Following that is Failing to Learn: Autonomously Identifying Perception Failures for Self-driving Cars [4]. In that paper's conclusion, it states its next plan is to use lidar to improve data quality,

> we plan to incorporate free space computation from the path of the vehicle and from active sensor returns like LIDAR to identify false positives to further improve our assessment and understanding of modern object detectors at the fleet level.

11 Ways to Fight Burnout
Giving Every Tor Hidden Service an IPv6 Address
Why is sunscreen so expensive?
Industrial automation is my field also, and yeah - you get that interesting mix of low-volume hardware, software written by electrical engineers, and messy real-world situations. You think you know what's going to happen but you're never quite sure... And when something does go wrong, it'll be a doozy.
Without reading the article is the answer sponge on a stick?
> most prominently, shared_ptr

Is the 'prominent' conclusion part of the analysis (I couldn't find anything in the post), or just conjecture? Anecdotally I see unique_ptr far more often than shared_ptr, but I would be interested in hard stats on which is more commonly used.
Go into the BIOS and set your own keys.
Just looked it up, and yes. Process Monitor and Process Explorer, depending on what kind of problem it is.
As widely used/loved as nginx seems to be, I couldn't for the life of me find any good resources that hand hold a bit more than just reading the docs and hoping for the best.

Know any good nginx books or courses?
>Overall: the patchset isn't controversial, just the way it's integrated with UEFI secure boot. The reason it's integrated with UEFI secure boot is because that's the policy most distributions want

A security feature that can be circumvented in many non-secure-boot cases is still a footgun protector. And there are already plenty of those. I'm not surprised the LKML thread pushed back as hard as it did. If that's his reason for digging in his heels, then suspicion that there could be more at play doesn't seem all that unwarranted.
That's fine. Hopefully by then it'll get ingrained into the culture.
I also like the subreddits I subscribe to, and the volunteer mods generally do a great job. But I do think that HN mods (who are paid, I assume) have a more difficult job in content filtering, in that HN is ostensibly a general discussion forum. Even as it skews towards tech and startups, just about every topic is eligible for discussion, including political debate. In r/netsec, for example, submitted links and discussions are generally good, but the mods are also very strict about the content -- technical posts, only. I suspect the quality of discussion would change drastically if they allowed anything remotely political or even just non-technical, such as various Troy Hunt posts [0]

Is there something like "50% statically-linked". I'm trying to understand if static linking can be partial. I often see it done it all in or none.
Yes, exactly! Also developers still thinking in dollars need to understand the rest of the world seriously! The income levels all around the world are very less in the developing countries. This is a significant factor. If I'm earning only 100$/month I would definitely not pay a cent for a service that promises 'privacy'. I need to survive first and if I'm able to do stuff for free I'm definitely using it. Those people are least bothered about privacy.

An anecdote from a recent experience:
I'm in India and there is the Aadhar project which assigns unique id to every citizen. There is a big privacy debate about it in the cities regarding privacy issues as the govt is forcing everyone to link our assets and tax numbers to it. People in the villages have no idea about it and there were pamphlets of Aadhar numbers being used as tissue papers in a local snack shops. But they all have a Facebook account for sure.

People don't understand understand privacy when they just want to survive.
Once you start perceiving people whose opinions you don't like as "loud smelly drunks" you're already too far down the rabbit hole to understand the importance of keeping moderation to the absolute minimum (which means keeping out spammers, illegal content and people behaving destructively towards the platform only).

The best forums I've ever been on were those where there were no ratings whatsoever, a linear structure of discussion, and that allowed any range of opinions as long as they were not in the aforementioned groups.
Tobacco Meets Technology
The reason why people buy expensive cars is because it is one of the ways in which they can quickly and quietly signal wealth or status. Cars are classicist, like it or not.

After all, how much better can a $500K supercar be compared to a $50K car? Definitely not ten times better, the speed limits are the same, seating capacity is likely smaller, there may be a marginal improvement in acceleration and a corresponding reduction in range (and increased fuel consumption).

Even having a car / not having a car is a status thing for many people (and it goes both ways, some see not having a car as being 'better' than those that have cars and vice versa, usually dependent on whether or not car ownership was decided from a position of prosperity or poverty).
I think you can edit in-browser.
Actually there are a lot of problems that anarchists wouldn't run into that the government does. Political corruption - collusion between state and corporations with welfare for the wealthy and prisons and environmental destruction for the poor. Overspending on the military and on wars. A bloated and inefficient healthcare system run more for the benefit of insurance companies than for those requiring medical attention. Etcetera etcetera.

There's also no good reason to believe that anarchists wouldn't follow standard engineering and construction practices. Look at open source software, there's no state in control of practices there yet engineers tend to do just fine. In fact, there are plenty of examples where people cut corners on safety procedures within a capitalist society in order that they can get a competitive advantage in the market. I'd say the incentives of capitalism are more detrimental to good bridges than those of anarchism.
Men Overestimate Intelligence in Science Class
Well, hind-sight is 20-20 but let me post-rationalize.

India's biggest problem is unofficial economy and low tax base, and is trying to expand tax base and trying to get more and more people into formal economy. Cryptocurrencies are not really tax-base expansion friendly even if regulated. So this makes sense from the point of view.

The interesting part here is Government of Andhra Pradesh is a member of Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, so now how are New Delhi and "Amaravati" going to deal with this situation would be interesting.

An option in the middle is webview[0] which will "appify" it by using OS-native browser lib so you don't have to carry Chromium, V8, or all the multi-process ugliness but you still get the web stack.

A statement which would be much improved with numbers. How rare? Fixed how quickly?
That can still be the case in the developing world.

I passed through a border crossing in West Africa last year. The border guard was struggling a bit copying the English names into his ledger, but after copying my hometown, he realised he knew that word — there's a famous British football team.

He got really excited, and pointed out the TV in the corner, and said how everyone in the area had come to the customs post to watch the big final, since it was the only TV.

(Perhaps it was the only TV that could receive a Satellite broadcast of the foreign match, or maybe it really was the only TV — the border crossing was remote.)
CometML vs Tensorboard? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I agree with what you're saying in regards to simply using nginx to handle web requests. I don't agree that there needs to be a point to this to do it.
Tidal generation using dams is a very bad idea. You're taking energy from and releasing energy to the system at times when it's most detrimental to the inertia of the system. Basically you're stealing inertia from the rotation if the earth, which would be ok, except you're amplifying the effects because of timing. You can think of it like swinging in a swing. The way you build up a huge amount of momentum is by shifting your weight at the peaks and troughs of the arc.
Reddit is a marketing platform, not a discussion platform. If a website has tools like shadowbanning and rules that govern the allowed range of opinions that read like something you'd need a law degree to understand, you're on a platform that serves only advertisers and is only useful for promotion and marketing, not discussion.
It's not just about efforts but it's more like the developer needs to maintain another piece of a service. I agree that uploading a simple Json file doesn't sound too complez to maintain but at a cost of you paying for S3 service with limited amount of features.
News is like art. Anything can be defined as art, anything can be defined as news.

Elon Musk tweeted? Lets wrap the tweet in a fluff burrito... Although, Tesla stocks been seeing some tough times, today Elon tweeted X..., in conclusion ...

That passes as news, but its just drivel.
I'm glad you brought this up. The so-called existential Thomists are strong on this point. Frederick Wilhelmsen's "The Paradoxical Structure of Existence" [0] was my first encounter with this understanding of God. I strongly recommend this book for those whose interest was piqued by God-as-verb (in place of the God-as-teapot canard). The book offers a great interpretation of Parmenides and Heraclitus as having been closer to one another than the way in which they are typically presented in philosophical texts. For example, Parmenides correctly intuited Be-ing but failed as soon as he attempted to conceptualize and crystalize it into a noun (and also accounts for this curious silence on the plurality of beings in this regard). It is only then that he and Heraclitus part ways. The book continues with Avicenna's discovery of existence as something distinct from essence, then onto Averroes' error of demoting existence to the accidental order (understandable once to understand that the epistemic order is the reverse of the metaphysical order). Ultimately, we come to the understanding of God as the very act of existence, an act that precedes the essential order of things and cannot itself be conceptualized because it is not a thing, but precedes all things and causes them to be at every instant. That is a far more satisfying account of God than the caricaturish and anemic view of some ghastly thing floating about the universe performing magic tricks. It also makes God impossible to ignore as an unnecessary being-among-many.

Another book that touches on this subject is Etienne Gilson's "God and Philosophy"[1]. One of the most interesting bits for me is where he draws attention to the Old Testament where God reveals himself to Moses as "I am He who is". I always thought that was a rather curiously mysterious way of revealing oneself. But on this understanding of God as the act of existence, it makes perfect sense. God is, or God is Is, so to speak. So really, we trace this understanding of God -- albeit not a philosophical one -- to at least the second millenium BC.

SSB does support encrypted private messaging, notably.

You could send a private message to a group of (7 or fewer) friends and then only they could open it.

With a bit of web searching, that's what I found too.
My statements purely state that the FBI is very aware of how to take actions and make statements that are true, but misleading. What is the issue is that the OIG took statements that were clearly meaningless -- but assigned meaning to them.

In fact, if you read the report, which includes these statements, "In the (FBI elite hacking unit) Chief’s view, the fact that he was not asked for help sooner was not a mistake in judgment or communication breakdown on CEAU’s part, but rather the result of a long-standing policy that the ROU Chief understood created a “line in the sand ”against using national security tools in criminal cases." -- which if true, given the events were a known terrorist attack, would have made the events a national security matter.
Ultra portability. And there shouldn't be any startup scripts, however, the binary does need to be compiled for the target platform.

I'm pretty sure the use case of this is more akin to an electron replacement, and not a production web server. So the user would just download and run the binary, and interact with the app from their browser.

More of a misdirection, really.

I cry over the thousands of years of wasted time where humanity has tried to figure out the demands of an entity that simply doesn't exist.

Instead, we got dragged into wars, instigated by rulers who manipulated followers of so-called 'holy books' into killing their brethren. We denied education to large parts of the population. We suppressed anything resembling science&progress because it might offend an imaginary being.

It's a frigging disaster.

Imagine a world where we would have followed science and reason early. Where we didn't destroy libraries, but gradually improved their wisdom.
All those years down the drain. Sigh.

>I'm thinking of places like Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky - you know, those flyover states.

>These governments don't represent us.

These are why I -1'd you just now. Insulting the places themselves is rude, and pretending that these states would be blue were it not for gerrymandering, and thus rejecting that the majority of these state's voters vote R is ridiculous.

yes, Gerrymandering is garbage, but Kansas's population isn't 90% secret blue voters being suppressed by gerrymandering. You are by and large seeing the actual will of the people.
Technically, no, but in practice, yes. For example, default static linking does not include the base C libraries that are pretty much available in every OS. You have to explicitly tell the linker to also link those in.
You are confusing Judaism - the religion, with the Jewish people - an ethnorelegious group. Many modern Jews are atheists - they certainly don't believe in Judaism, yet nobody would doubt that they are Jewish, nor would they deny this themselves. Similarly - a Jew can become a christian or a muslim yet ethnically still remain a Jew. The same cannot be said about christians or muslims.
Love the implementation! Would be great to eventually see pagination and parameter/ID filtering (/users?age=32, etc)
Global cybercrime report provide global damage costs and cybersecurity spending
Most of the times when I watch the "news" it isn't to get more informed, it's more as something to watch, get entertained, and have open in the background. For this reason I like watching local news better as the stories they have are much more focused than CNN or FOX's 100th story about Trump tweets. Most people attack local news but I seem that they have more integrity than the big named channels if you manage to slog through the crappy syndicated ones. Thankfully Sinclair doesn't own any stations in my area.

It's nice to at least have news that is more compact and relates more to your life. Traffic, weather, daily minor politics that won't matter outside of your 50 mile radius. All of these are things that remind me that the area I live in is living and breathing and not just a set-piece for the larger and grander story that most national news medias cover.
Sure. But in protecting the proletariat from oppression, they "protected" a fair number of the proletariat right into the grave.
I feel 5 dollars is expensive for a monthly. Servers are pretty cheap, storage is pretty cheap. There is no realistic way to pay a few pennies per month though. Maybe 5 dollars yearly. If it's a not for profit then they just need to operate slightly above cost.
With free speech, come idiots that abuse it and say hateful things.

These are sacrifices necessary in order to live in a free society.

You can't just take freedom of speech from the people you don't like to listen to; you would be taking it away from everyone.
We have that. They're called consoles.
Why not the other way around? You do the driving, and the computer is the backup in case you mess up?

Humans are extremely bad at monitoring monotonic things, even if we are trained to do them. That‘s why trains have elaborate dead man switches to ensure the operator is paying attention.

From these accidents it‘s clear that Teslas aren‘t good enough at making sure the driver is paying attention.

And it‘s also pretty clear that these autopilot victims weren‘t aware how distracted they really were. I‘m pretty sure they thought they had everything under control, right up to the point when their car did something stupid.
"God" has so many definitions it's completely useless as word to be used for conversation, even between 2 people of the same faith, maybe even for a single person to have internal thoughts about. It's amazing how much conflict arises just because everyone wants to use the same word for an intangible thing.

Maybe we can start a database and every person creates a unique id for their current definition of intangible things. Even if they copy the exact definition for an intangible thing from someone elses intangible thing, it gets a new id. If they want to modify a definition of their own intangible thing, new id. Then every recorded use of the word requires a link to the definition that individual was using at the time of the conversation. In the case of "God", I don't think UUIDs will be big enough. The db will, of course, have to be decentralized and blockchain based.
When wasn't Twitter toxic?

It is designed and implemented to breed toxicity. It is optimized for engagement, but people don't just engage when they are happy and want to share the joy they also engage when they are angry, upset, want to argue and debate. So they end up arguing in 140 character short quips and sarcastic remarks. Which gets other people angry and they respond with more short sarcastic remarks. How often has anyone said in such an exchange "Oh your witty remark and calling me an fucking idiot gave me pause, I went back, reevaluated my position and now I agree with you".

But engagement goes up, and why bother removing bots, they just add more activity and users. "Oh look we have 330M active monthly users" they can say to the shareholders. Buy more shares!

There is no mention how they went to RT, a Russian state propaganda outlet and offered them deals and access to US voters ahead of the 2016 election. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/26/twitter-b... . Forgot what Twitter's response was, something like "we do not comment on private pitch decks". Which pretty much acknowledges it. So they breed and encourage toxicity then turn around and blast PR how they want more civility and are protecting democracy.
This is the same non-argument - people don’t want safer (in that case a crappy autopilot that’s only slightly better than a human driver would be a viable product) - they just don’t accept any notion of unsafety in new tech.

The bottom line is that people don’t accept any risk at all involving autonomous driving - regardless of whether the alternative/old tech was worse. So, to put it very bluntly, people accept being hit by a texting person not paying attention for 1 second. People don’t accept being hit by a person in a level 3 autonomous vehicle not paying attention for 10 seconds - and that’s regardless of the relative safety of the two systems.

Obviously if you use Autopilot in bumper to bumper traffic this is an improvement, and a huge improvement over texting while manually driving. But texting at highway speed is thankfully rare when manually driving and should be just as outlawed with AP.
