> using it for member functions is insane given that you have to read the entire thing left to right only to see what it returns at the end; it is far less to read just putting "int" at the far left

This is not what auto as a function return type is for. Auto wasn't invented so people could put int on the right side of a function.

There are two reasons to use it. The first is similar to using auto for a long type name. You can use decltype to declare the return type to be the same as the resulting type of an expression. The second is what you mentioned, keeping in mind that you can use template types in the decltype expression.
I like it, really! I believe this to be a good use-case for decentralization as opposed to anonimity - if paired with a good verification mechanism (so leaving behind the crypto-anonimity mantra) this would also guarantee integrity of timelines (tampering/algorithmic curation of news and what not). Good luck to you Sir!
How is this different from other cars?
> I am not a lawyer, but it is not clear to me just yet that the product failed.

It's not clear to me whether it was a design defect or a manufacturing defect, but it's pretty clear that the lane keeping system drove the vehicle into a barrier which was not, in fact, located in a traffic lane, killing the occupant, which is pretty obviously a failure.
Your statement is entirely true but is non-sequitur.

Capitalism is not "the economic system in which things are bought and sold with money", it's a much more particular subset of all those types of economies (namely, capitalism is the type where the primary resources and means of production are privately owned).

It's incidentally TRUE that GPL is not anti-capitalist. But it's also true that you can consistently both sell things and be anti-capitalist. Selling things happens in most economic systems, capitalist or not.
Crime-predicting A.I. isn’t science fiction. It’s about to roll out in India
Actually the looong cutscenes where you cannot do anything, is one of the reasons I think it’d be a good movie. If you think about it it’s a very interactive story. Yes, you have choices like most RPGs but they don’t really matter at the end.

The learning about background stuff is one thing that the movie makers would have to smooth out. I think the new tomb raider does a good job at balancing backstory and the plot. Assasins creed, not so much.

You need those structural changes to make their fatality rates as small as regular cars.

Right now self-driving cars aren't viable in the real-world due to their extremely high fatality rate, which are comparable to motorcycles.

Meanwhile, there are several car models with ZERO fatalities.
Not a good look for Tesla.
the car should stop itself to the emergency lane then when user disengagement is detected.
Perhaps a breach of privacy, but propaganda?
This isn't limited to no autopilot vs full autopilot. If autopilot is so good at correcting a drunk driver's accident, then let it run in a shadow mode only making corrective actions in emergencies. Why is AEB bundled in with Autosteer in all stats? AEB is undoubtedly good, Autosteer is debatable.
A lot depends on how active your state labor department is.

There certainly are states where they just won't care. There are other states where they'll actually do something for you.

Another thing I just remembered on this topic of what "focuses" you, there is a clever and interesting way to learn which of the three forms keeps someone else focused.

It is in how a person tells you they don't understand something. A visual person will say "I don't see that." An auditory person will say "I'm not hearing you" or "You need to say that again." A kinesthetic person would say "I don't get it" or "That doesn't feel right."

Interesting. And small hints.

The human toll is irrelevant to the conversation, what's relevant is whether risks taken are being taken knowingly - you cannot market a self driving vehicle whose functionality "is 2x better than any human being" while simultaneously stating in your legal language to protect yourself: don't take your hands off the wheel - that's bs.

Is it crazy to hold a driver to a higher standard than simply Googling "Tesla autopilot" and only reading the first paragraph of the first result? If you read that entire page, the difference between autopilot and full self-driving is clear. If you read the car's manual, the difference is clear. If you look at the configurator for the car, the difference is clear when you have to pay $3,000 extra for full self-driving. I am not sure how any responsible Tesla owner could think that this is only a single feature.
> Or worse, people and companies will relocate to cities with exclusive self driving car policies

So people will relocate to avoid traffic? Why doesn't this happen today? Suppose San Francisco decided to not enforce self driving laws to protect small businesses and preserve community infrastructure and culture. Now suppose Phoenix (only picked because they've been progressive with self driving technology) does enforce self driving laws, would you expect a mass exodus from San Francisco to Phoenix?
I'd prefer no quotes, but that would restrict the dictionary to keys without spaces. Maybe square brackets, since anyone using python already types those to access dictionary keys.
Good question. It's nice to be able to receive payments without relying on a company. Even if Peepeth.com goes down, you could still be in business on other front-ends (back-end data is open, anyone can build competing front-ends).
The uncontrolled/unchecked monetary incentive is starting to cause things to get out of controll.

I recently spotted a channel that features what seems to be animal traps (for mice, snakes, fish etc). All of their videos have hundreds of thousands of views, and all are 100% fake. It's hard to know if you're not outdoortsy, but they're all fake.
Essentially they're not just producing garbage content, they're also intentionally damaging the perception and world model of the people watching their videos.
Why is this "allowed" to run? Why aren't the knowledgable people calling them out? Because Youtube completely destroyed the comment feedback system.
Negative comments and critisism is burried, new comments and unpopular/harsh comment are deranked, so all you get is dumb catchy comments that increase view time.

Of course this is only the top of the iceburg in a sea of garbage content, but it shows where we're heading, and it'll only get worse with the proliferation of machine learning tools, especially lifelike text-to-speech technologies.
I don't think Dara would have come to office on a Monday and said "ooh, shoot, self driving cars not working. Let's buy a bike sharing startup and car rental startup and we will be all good.. with an evil smile at the end". Only a journo would think something like that :)

I think he is turning around the company and these are definitely part of new strategy.

Ah, I'd suggest you check the digit on your game install again. It appears you've played The Witcher (the 1st game of the trilogy). That was indeed a bit ridiculous. On the other hand, it's not like being strong, handsome, famous and famously infertile is a bad strategy for getting laid. That said, most of the sexuality/romance should probably be kept out of scene unless it contributes to the plot in some way, which is what Witcher 3 does. Whenever you can have sex with someone it is because this either advances the main romance plot or because it reveals an interesting facet of a person.

This is incredibly obvious.

Games are not films for a reason, usually because the interactivity is tightly interwoven with the story, otherwise the artists would’ve picked a different medium.

Take away the game elements and you may have something that has a high percentage of not translating well.

If it was meant to be a movie, it would’ve been one to start. If that’s not the case, it’s an exception to the rule.

NiGHTS Into Dreams...(Saturn) is a fantastic game that IMO would make a shitty movie I dare say even if Miyazaki himself gave it a shot.
You would have to be very very careful indeed if you wanted to use this for anything with safety implications.
A Gentle Introduction to Stream Processing
Thank you! All suggestions appreciated.
This is very nicely written. Isn't the principle essentially similar to vector clocks? It certainly feels very similar.
Yeah, it's an unfortunate name :\. This is how I imagine any conversation about it going:

"Hey friends, you all should try this app I'm using Peepeth"

"Pee-what?"

"Peepeth."

"How do I spell that?"
They are different things with only a very superficial overlap. Yes they all may have: writing, 2D/3D art, acting and audio etc. But, only games have an interactive mechanic. You can tell if a game will be fun without any of the aesthetics. Just a controller, the code and simple geometry (debug/collision boxes) for the avatars and the map. Once you have found a fun mechanic all the art merely enhances a bit. Don't get me wrong, there are lots a bad games (bad mechanics!) that try to be movies with beautiful art and no real fun. But a great game is like nothing else we know of so far.
I'll rant a bit on the topic:

Starting out can be tough. Experience and observe the company/department/team you are seeking to organize and structure the knowledge for.

* Do they care about capturing, authoring, presenting and maintaining knowledge? How much do they care?

* Enough to insert steps into their existing processes or create new ones?

If so, you have a chance. Otherwise, focus on organizing and structuring YOUR OWN company knowledge. When others look over your shoulder at a meeting, read your notes, your reports, your guides, you may be able to entice.

Examples speak louder than words.

Tooling can be tough. If you work in a small outfit, you can likely spin up the best KM tools available. If you work for a dinosaur, good luck. They are likely already entrenched with some sharepoint mess that busily employs 10's if not 100's of people. Bringing your "new tool" to the IT department will get you the run around. (I've been trying to implement Gitbook (my fav KM tool) for over 1.5 yrs.).

Large companies may also have problems with cloud deployments. And honestly, in light of data breaches, etc, I get it. Many tools (most of the ones in this Ask HN) are cloud-based so this may limit your options.

I'm currently using OneNote to author and present ~300 pages of docs to ~3000 users. Being the SOLE author, this is fine. The style and structure are consistent, but I don't like it. OneNote doesn't support markdown (are you serious Microsoft?!? you don't have an f'ing markdown editor yet?), locks you up in a proprietary format, etc. etc.

Its also too "willy nilly". Its meant as more of a personal KM tool rather than a something for general consumption.

Where I lean:

* Static site generator under git version control

* Hook up with your local "Write the Docs" Meetup

* Check out the annual "Write the Docs" conference (coming up in a few weeks in Portland!)

* And start with YOUR OWN company knowledge.
That was really enjoyable to watch. Theres something about a 'bad' movie that is relaxing and sincere in its attempt to put on a show. Id say its akin to watching your 5 year old nephews pageant or something, yes its 'bad' on the scale of believability, but an enjoyable experience nevertheless.

It seems silly to apply a blanket law that "no work emails can be sent between X and Y hours".

If it's not a critical emergency, then it doesn't really matter if someone sends an email to another employee at 3AM because the recipient will just get to it whenever they come in to work the next day. There's plenty of instances where people may send emails to each outside of the standard 9AM-5PM working hours: traveling, in a different timezone, a shift-work schedule, the person is a night owl or very early riser and they like to work when they are most productive. I think people just need to accept and anticipate some lag time between communications when they send after hours email. Unless something is super important (which should be rare), there's really no need to expect someone to answer immediately, and the recipient doesn't need to feel compelled to answer immediately either. Even managers don't work 24 hours/day and sleep too. If they are being a hard-ass about always replying in a timely manner, then just email them at an inconvenient time for them to respond as a lesson.
Thank you.

Currently there's Twitter account verification (through a blockchain oracle contract). More verification options are on the way (incl. domain ownership).

People love their cars too much.

Cars should just be phased out in favor of mass transit everywhere.

Yes, you can live without the convenience of your car. No really, you can.

Now think about how you would enable that to happen. What local politicians are you willing to write to, or support, in order to enable a better mass transit option for you? And how would you enable more people to support those local politicians that make that decision?

This is the correct solution, since the AI solution of self-driving cars isn't going to happen. Their high fatality rates are going to remain high.
One of the things that I almost always insist on in a dev/PM feedback cycle is the concept of "chores." The Devs (usually via eng lead) get to schedule chores in the backlog, full stop. PM can have a convo with eng lead to say "hey, will this chore take a super long time? Can you possibly reschedule it?" but if it's work that is a pure refactor (no product implications) the PM doesn't get to block it, period.

Of course, this only works well on teams where your PM and eng lead don't have a fundamentally adversarial relationship. I like to think this is most teams but does take some getting used to in terms of eng lead and PM communicating priorities and needs, between product moment and code quality.
The post was downvoted almost to oblivion, and blocked until the admins released it. Just read the comments. Most of the "character assassination" is commentors attacking the OP on Reddit.
I basically agree, but I do think it's possible to make a narrative from a game. The pokemon tv show and movies were very successful and widely enjoyed by the audience.

This is only true for a limited subsection of games. (granted, this subsection of games is pretty much exclusively the source of Video Game Movies).

There are many games where mechanics are just a delivery mechanism for the art, story and overall experience.

> I don't think there is anything to indicate that Tesla's approach is leading to more deaths.

The safety claims Tesla/Musk make are debatable. There is a lawsuit over getting the raw data NHTSA used to make the "autosteer reduces collisions by 40%" [1]. AEB also reduces the collision rate by 40 percent, which is mentioned in the same NHTSA report [2]. And, supposedly AEB and autosteer were activated around the same time, so it might not be easy to tell which provided a benefit.

> I would bet that autopilot is still well in the positives in "lives saved" versus "lives ended"

You need a lot of data to show that. 1 death per 86 million miles driven is the average in the US, and that's across all types of vehicles, new and old, including motorcycles, bad weather (where autopilot is not likely to be engaged), and on all kinds of roads (autopilot is mostly engaged on divided highways).

There was also a death in China that looks like autopilot [3].

Even if it's all-or-nothing and no generic drivers are implemented, it's better to deny new features than to cripple a working device. Apple defines the third-party market with how much documentation it releases. This is not a technical or practical problem, it's Apple not easing its iron grip, as it always does.
> Most car manufacturers are releasing their products on the public year after year, knowing full well that a decent percentage of people that drive away from the dealership will be killed by the thing they just bought.

Nope, and that's the whole difference. They will be killed by theirs actions, their choices, their inattention, or those of other drivers. They won't be killed by the machine.

With autopilot / pseudo-autopilot, they will be killed by the machine.

It is a huge difference, both in terms of regulations of people transportation safety, and in terms of human psychology, which makes a big difference between being in control and not being in control of a situation.
I don't buy it either, and the airline business has lots of history to show that it is bunk. Autopilot must either be better than humans or not be present. I'm sure the car autopilot engineers have learned much from airplanes. And I'm pretty sure that Tesla management has overrode the engineers concerns because they'd rather move fast and break things.

I think you assumption is spot on.

Android already does physically correct soft shadows in real time.

The initial design of material would have allowed way more space manipulations, like making a view rotate on any axis.

So the shadow implementation allows to remain correct even in this kind of case.

It is kinda sad that the final design forbids this, a simple raster shadow would have been enough to just signify the elevation.

Bad example. "Hey, this is broken, it did this." You say. They say "Nope, no problem/ fixed." You do it again. "Still broken!" "All good!". Again...
This reads like they're making a legal argument but in the court of public opinion. Maybe it will be effective, but as a PR move I am not at all impressed. Best to leave the legal wrangling for the real courtroom and stick to "We feel terrible about this tragedy, and have no further comment." when speaking to the public. Blaming the victim, especially when he is dead, is bad form. I have to think a reputable PR firm would understand this, which makes me think Musk is forcing his team to make these kinds of statements.

Reflecting on your reply and gamblor956's post below, and after reviewing the published photos, I concede this looks like the most likely scenario, and if that is what actually occurred, it would unequivocally be a failure.

(That said, there's still a chance, however small, that whatever seems obvious now ends up being invalidated by the investigation. I just don't like feeling certain about things like this, especially from a distance.)
