Generally speaking, incorporating as an individual doesn't save you much in the way of tax unless you get creative. It does give you the ability to defer income which in turn defers some tax.

On the downside, there is much more paperwork and expense from lawyers and accountants.

It’s a loan covenant. They’re very common in a variety of commercial transactions; that particular requirement (you must maintain a minimum level of cash on hand) is relatively common.

It’s really $X million, not $X minus 3 million, because you should have $3 million from any source other than them (e.g. revenue) and failure to have it represents mismanagement.

This particular covenant does not provide material downside protection to the lender; it’s more designed to prevent an aggressive company from riding things too close to the knife’s edge. There would often exist parallel covenants about borrowing money, assigning assets, increasing management salaries, paying dividends, etc.

(Father worked in commercial real estate; lenders have to get increasingly creative when a borrower’s situation is closer to the brink, which is where I learned about these.)

Nope; the XNU (macOS) kernel has Mach semantics (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Da...), not POSIX semantics.

XNU does embed BSD (and so POSIX) semantics into the kernel—some of which are their own efficient primitives, since there's no way to efficiently implement them in terms of Mach. But whatever BSD syscalls can be implemented kernel-side in terms of Mach primitives, are.
Wow, I hadn’t imagined that because the coordinates are sent to the GPU as floats, that means triangles start voxelizing when you get further away from origin.

> because that's what people do; make sacrifices to improve the world we live in so that future generations don't have to know the same problem.

Whose lives are we sacrificing? In the case of the Uber crash in Tempe and this Tesla crash in California, the people who died did not volunteer to risk their lives to advance research in autonomous vehicles.

I highly respect individuals who choose to risk their lives to better the world or make progress, like doctors fighting disease in Africa and astronauts going to space, but at the same time, I think this must always be a choice. Otherwise we could justify forcing prisoners to try new drugs as the first stage of clinical trials. Or worse things. Which is why there are extensive vetting before approval for clinical trials is given.

I do think that, once the safety of autonomous vehicles have been proven on a number of testbeds, but before they are ready for deployment, it is justifiable to drive them on public roads. Maybe without safety drivers. But until then, careful consideration should be given to their testing.

Uber should not have been able to run autonomous vehicles with safety drivers where the safety driver could be allowed to look away from the road for several seconds while the car was moving at >30mph. The car should automatically shutoff if it is not clear whether the safety driver is paying attention. And there should be legislation that bans any company that fails to implement basic safeguards like this from testing again for at least a decade, with severe fines. Probably speeds should also be limited to ~30mph for the first few years of testing while the technology is still so immature, as it is today.

Similarly, Tesla should not be allowed to deploy their Autopilot software to consumers before they conduct studies to show that it is reasonably safe. Repeated accidents have shown that Level 1 and Level 2 autonomous vehicles, where the car drives autonomously but the driver must be ready to intervene, is a failed model unless the car actively monitors that the driver is paying attention.

Overall I think justifying the current state of things by saying that people must be sacrificed for this technology to work is ridiculous. Basic safeguards are not being used, and if we require them, maybe autonomous vehicles will take a few years longer to reach deployment, but that thousands of lives could become tens.

Edit: I read in another comment that the Tesla car at least "alarms at you when you take your hands off the wheel". In that case I think what Tesla is doing is much more reasonable. (Not Uber, though.) Although I still feel like it is going to be hard to react to dangerous situations when the system operates correctly almost all the time (even if you are paying attention and have your hands on the wheel). But I'm not sure what the correct policy should be here, because I don't fully understand why people use this in the first place (since it sounds like Autopilot doesn't save you any work).
At this point it is not even clear that the hardware is in fact capable of self-driving, ever.

I think there is a reason everyone else is using Lidar.

Does anyone know of psychology studies that measure human reaction time and skill when sometime like autopilot is engaged most of the time?

Yes. That's been much studied in the aviation community.[1] NASA has the Multi-Attribute Test Battery to explicitly study this.[2] It runs on Windows with a joystick, and is available from NASA. The person being tested has several tasks, one of which is simply to keep a marker on target with the joystick as the marker drifts. This simulates the most basic flying task - flying straight and level. This task can be put on "autopilot", and when the marker drifts, the "autopilot" will simulate moving the joystick to correct the position.

But sometimes the "autopilot" fails, and the marker starts drifting. The person being tested is supposed to notice this and take over. How long that takes is measured. That's exactly the situation which applies with Tesla's "autopilot".

There are many studies using MATB. See the references. This is well explored territory in aviation.

The current thread is about what Tesla means by use of "autopilot". The parent commenter was telling us that Tesla only intends for it to have the same meaning as it does in aviation. My response is pointing out how Tesla seems to imply "autopilot" involves "full self-driving".

> Python might not be the right choice for an embedded platform.

I use micropython in several of my projects for CPUs that are waaaay less powered than the thing they're putting in the Librem5 and, despite not being a 100% feature full implementation of python, it's still a very capable platform. Granted, I don't drive any UIs (yet), but those components would be handled by some native libraries anyways on the Librem5, and the choice of python vs C would not matter from that respect.

I didn't know Tesla had an exchange with that person over previous occurences of the problem.

I believe Tesla should take responsibilities for this. But I think they fear this could just kill their entire company if they make a PA regarding safety being their fault.

All in all, it's not right, not long ago they were claiming to have the highest safety ratings, now they're in denial over a death.

I find the argument convincing with the addition of a little tweak: it's not about how fast you type, but your facility with the editing. I use Emacs, and plugins like ace-jump (which I think is a copy of a Vim plugin) and paredit reduce friction between thought and code, not because I'm hammering out a certain number of words per minute, but because these tools abstract the manipulation of text away from twiddling characters on the screen, and towards "manipulating" text as a proxy for ideas.

It's actually a perfect example. Car manufacturer knew of the flaw and did not tell customers about it. Customer then died as a result.

Expect Tesla to pay a massive fine as a result of this. Assuming, of course that they survive the lawsuit and the loss of buyers...
I just remember going through a log and seeing 3 RTP streams that had gotten into sort of a harmonic oscillation pattern where they each would observe congestion at different times and back off in turn, and then one stream would consume most of the bandwidth until it's backoff triggered, then another stream would do the same.

I have zero more detail on how they were managing backoff though as this was like 6 years ago with some random video-meeting software that probably doesn't exist anymore (I think there were 100s of video meeting companies that started and died from 2010-2013).
Maybe GP misspoke with "wrong", but a valid point was raised there, maybe not in the clearest way:

If you are trying to write a super-fast raytracer or game or some such, you will get the best results by writing SIMD manually. Otherwise, you are benchmarking how well autovectorization works in the various compilers and JITs you are testing.

Now, specifically here it looks like Mono had a bunch of other problems they had to fix to get to the right ballpark (not using the right data type, etc.), which is what the blogpost focuses on. And it's nice to see speedups for C# code there.

Still, though, if you need maximal perf, raw SIMD is necessary. Comparing to a C++ version with SIMD might have been interesting, for example. (Likely the reason Burst is "faster than C++" is that it happens to autovectorize that code better.)
I've too been in the position of trying everything I could think of to avoid being shot in the head (my company that is), and then watching it get destroyed by the bank ... I can and do empathize with those in this position now.

Obviously I don't and won't condone the lying to investors, the apparent falsifying of test modalities, and so on. But I know what watching your baby, that you poured your life blood, your energy, your soul into, feels like[1].

Slightly more than a year for me. I empathize with the Theranos people. And though I don't agree with her tactics, I have a sense of what the CEO is going through watching it die. That is, assuming she was a true believer in her company and not a scammer.

I did not enjoy letting my team go. I did not enjoy the repo company collecting the assets, or the auction. I didn't enjoy what the bank did next, after shooting us in the head.

What I've learned from this exercise is that many times when the provisions are triggered, the entity does not actually act in its own best interests. We were in the midst of talks to sell our company when the bank shot us in the head. Scared the other player off. Guaranteed that they would not get what they wanted.

Even as a private pilot you are taught to continuously scan your instruments and surroundings as you fly through the air with autopilot enabled. Flight training is much more extensive than driving tests (although still not too bad) and they really drive procedures into you.
Linux isn't particularly efficient... That it's often better than Windows, doesn't make it the most efficient. And does that matter? ChromeOS' UI is driven by Chrome (a web browser).
Given the facts, who/what else would be to blame?

This IMO has more to do with PR than anything else.

Well... marketing too. I've never felt comfortable with the term "auto pilot" as it is used in the context of Tesla's vehicles. This is potentially a finnicky topic, but I think there should be better standards and legislation around what can be reasonably marketed as "auto pilot".
A speed limiter involves me having to continue to press on a pedal. That's quite different from cruise control.
I've seen at least a dozen of papers providing "guidelines" to good NN architecture design (e.g. "Rethinking the Inception Architecture"). I don't mind another one, and I'm not saying they gave a bad advice, but as a DL practitioner I haven't really learned much from this paper as far as new good tricks to use.

Anyone who tried using dropout in convolutional layers would use it after pooling/subsampling. It just does not make sense to do otherwise. Moreover, in my experiments, I didn't see any improvement of doing dropout there. If overfitting is a problem, dropout in conv layers is not going to help much. I've seen a number of various powerful new regularization methods published recently, I'd try them instead.

As far as max pooling vs stride two convolutions, I compared them on multiple architectures, and while I agree that max pooling usually provided a slight boost, there were exceptions, and the difference was typically not significant enough to care. In fact I remember max pooling having a significant advantage only in very small networks (such as Lenet5).

Same goes for the most of their advices: either you already know it, or it's not always true, or when true it does not result in significant accuracy gains.

More importantly, and as I pointed out already, there are two serious shortcomings in the paper:

1. They have not tested their architecture on ImageNet. That alone disqualifies them from providing any advice on how to design a modern image classifier. Cifar is a toy dataset only suitable as proof of concept for new ideas, just to show that whatever crazy thing you came up with works in principle. In 2018 no one cares about results you got on Cifar. ImageNet is much more challenging, and that's why it requires all those "fancy techniques".

2. They have not compared their architecture to the latest state of the art (e.g. CondenseNet, which has been out for several months now). From the numbers I see in the paper, they haven't even bothered to measure the amount of computation (FLOPs). Show me that SimpNet outperforms existing SoA in efficiency models on ImageNet, specifically in regards to latency of inference. Then I will take the advice seriously.

EDIT: I just read the section in the appendix which argues for using non-overlapping pooling (vs non-overlapping), and I fail to see any compelling explanation. Yes, higher layer feature maps show the presence of abstract features. Why should non-overlapping pooling be better here?
There are a lot of things in aviation that are done out of an abundance of caution (and rightly so) rather than because flights are routinely on the edge of disaster. Depressurization is not an autopilot issue, and putting on a mask is not the same as constant vigilance. Even when not using autopilot, pilots in cruise may be attending to matters like navigation and systems management that would be extremely dangerous if performed while driving.

Personally, I do not think calling Tesla's system 'autopilot' is the issue, but your claim that it is accurate is based on misunderstandings about the use of autopilots in aviation. It is not the case that their proper use puts airplanes on the edge of disaster were it not for the constant vigilance of the pilots.

That's why I said voluntarily. Realistically there are 2 cell phone OS's to choose from, Android and iOS. Android is broken a lot of the time and people are forced to either find workarounds or do without functionality. I dont use Chrome but Firefox. But the masses will use it if its forced on them.
Early C compilers made that same mistake.
You are mixing things up a little bit. Darwin (the underlying kernel layer of MacOS X and the rest) is actually a hybrid between a microkernel and a regular kernel. There is a microkernel there, but much of the services layered on top of it are done as a single kernel. All of that operating within one memory space. So some of the benifits from a pure microkenel are lost, but a whole lot of speed is gained.

So from a security standpoint MacOS X is mostly in the kenel camp, not the microkernel one.

>In reality supply creation is constrained by real world factors such as time and labour supply and "just add more supply" is not so easy. It takes time.

Ultimately, supply is constrained by cost. And in Vancouver, that's not an issue - if the regulation allows it, converting a single family home to a multi-unit dwelling is so ridiculously profitable that the solution to the housing crisis is to simply change zoning to allow it, and then wait. "just add more supply" really is that easy if you let the market forces work. yes, it's going to take time, but this problem has been ongoing in Vancouver for much longer now than the amount of time needed to fix it.
