While true, there is like a lot of redondant auxiliary warning system in a plane that work independently of the autopilot.

So if autopilot tried to fly you into a mountain, the humans pilots would have to willingly ignore all the warnings thrown at them (it happened recently, and was qualified as human error).

What is terrifying with Tesla autopilot is that there is seemingly not enough auxiliary warning system. With only two of them (hand on wheel or stop, static object detection) you could have avoided almost all Tesla crashes.

They putted beta vehicle in hand of customers, that’s a choice, now they have to live with it.

Ok, so micro-adjustments are automated. But those don’t require much force and it’s certainly not constant. The only constant load is the attention required. I.e. paying attention to straying from the lane.

Thus if you’re feeling a big relief, it’s because you’re paying less attention to the road. No?

I built a web app called Bucket for tracking todos, inspired by the technique described in this video[1] whereby you put tasks into buckets based on the time horizon for completion.

Your tasks are stored entirely in your browser, so there's no back-end, no risk of losing access, works offline, you can export any time, and you can share your tasks between devices using the Sync URL. You can use it here (for now, looks best on mobile): https://lusmo.re/bucket/

I built it because it was easy, it does exactly what I want, and I don't need to rely on some 3rd party to profitably monetise todo apps so that I can use it indefinitely.

I can't follow this logic at all. When home prices go up, rents also go up. How is your mobility not affected when you can't afford rent and have to move out of the city? Or for the people whose rent goes above what they can afford and they end up homeless?

If you're underwater on a mortgage, it's still the same payment month over month that you were expecting when you took out the mortgage. It'll recover eventually if you hold on. When you're paying rent month to month, that number changes on you as prices rise and you can't just hold on.

Energy storage in superconducting loops. This is done on a small scale already for ride-through and power stabilization purposes but it is expensive due to the non-room temperature super conducting technology used which requires cooling down the superconductor.
I agree. Moreover, it's obvious to me that an imperfect human pilot is worse than no human pilot at all.

You're missing a major feature - cross platform. WPF is Windows only.

As someone who has also built a few WPF apps (altho not for some years now), I absolutely hated working with XAML - the visual designer in Visual Studio was really buggy and brought any machine to it's knees. Doing things without the designer, hand cranking all that XML felt really clunky, and things like event handling and synchronisation were fiddly to get right.

HTML and CSS aren't perfect by a stretch, but at this point I think they're a great option for desktop UIs, especially if cross-platform is desirable (and I say this as a long in the tooth, Microsoft-stack focused architect).
By RPS, I imagined Shopify is largest. But then from what I understand, Shopify operate in such a way that every shop is its own app. i.e there is 100s of thousands of Basecamp / AirBnb running on the same code base and every shop is somewhat isolated.

Purely in terms of App in think the largest would be Cookpad. AirBnB never shared their numbers so I don't know.

I do believe you are vastly underestimating how difficult an attack on the bitcoin network would be. I seriously doubt anyone other than a handful of state level actors could pull it off, and even then I am not sure. The amount of energy we are talking is tremendous, and gets orders of magnitude larger the more blocks you go backwards in time. The XVG hack only went back 22 blocks, that is mathematically, and most certainly financially and perhaps even physically impossible with bitcoin. The amount of energy and money spent would never, ever make it worth it.

How is “concentrating on the overall traffic” substantially different than concentrating during regular driving, unless it is less focused or attentive somehow? Aren’t you taking your attention away to a degree from the nitty gritty of tracking the obstacles in front of you and staying in lane?

Citing the “long stretches with no cars” case really worries me that you are in fact paying less attention. It is not only traffic that you need to worry about hitting.
Even if the emergency braking was disabled, why was there a lack of automatic steering, e.g. to change lanes, to avoid the collision?

The only reason I can see to prefer MongoDB over Redis Cluster in this case (no joins, no transactions, no aggregations) is if the dataset doesn't fit in memory. Except that, I think you're right to prefer Redis.

Your comment is a really interesting comparison of Redis and MongoDB. Never thought about that before. Thanks!

Many people are lactose intolerant [1] and rely on milk that is not from a cow. The marketing behind it may be offsetting to some, as it is not directly aimed at lactose intolerant people, but calling it a fad is a bit too early to tell I think.

There's a major shift of consumer preference in the 21st century, mainly towards healthy and individualised choices, which for a single consumer is great. Maybe like camel milk - I've never tried it, but why not?

I can’t imagine that “randomly” makes sense, or that they have proof of anything like that. “Arbitrarily” means that Facebook gets to decide how much of a creep is too much.

It irks me that not only this feature is called Autopilot, but it doesn't even come with a "beta" label. Gmail was in beta for like 5 years.

You go to Tesla's website and it greets you with (as of the time this comment was written):

"Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars"

"All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver."

Which gives the impression this car can drive better than one can, and gives little indication to the fact the _software_ is in active development even if the hardware for "full self-driving" is already there.
Perhaps, you haven't worked in an environment where that kind of information is regularly and pointlessly compiled into Excel sheets.

Tesults certainly isn’t changing the world as in “SpaceX is changing the world.” but I suppose they have a few customers who think that their product is worth the price.

The home page of the Pyret programming language [1] is great in this regard. You get a feel for the language and also get to see some quick comparisons with other languages. Too bad that it is targeted to be a pedagogic language -- it seems great for that, but it also seems like it would be good as a general purpose programming language for the masses.

One-to-one vs. many-to-many messaging. The amount of work you need to do to deliver a WhatsApp message is constant and small -- just route the message to a single recipient's mailbox. The amount of work Twitter has to do to deliver a message grows as a function of followers. One celebrity tweeting another celebrity means you have to deliver the message to the mailboxes of the followers of both -- millions of times more work than WhatsApp per message. In addition, Twitter persists all the messages while WhatsApp doesn't.

a2 has been around in australia for ages (started in new zealand afaik), and from personal anecdote, i can say that it works. i could drink cows milk (and did a couple of times per day in flat whites) but by the end of the day, it made me feel a little off and i frequently had a “enough milk for today” moment. after starting on a2 i get none of that, and what’s more it makes it easier to drink regular milk for a few days after a week of only a2

nothing scientific, but i’m going to continue paying a bit more for my milk :p
> And anyway, jerky driving is a symptom of late braking, not early braking.

I see it as more than just jerkyness, I see a massive safety issue in traffic. If your autonomous car is slamming on the brakes spontaneously there's a lot more opportunities for other drivers to plow into you from behind.
So if I understand correctly, you’re saying it allows you to pay less attention to the car in front of you and more to the traffic around you.

Yeah, you’re absolutely not supposed to do that (in a Tesla at least). You’re supposed to pay 100% as much attention to stuff you might hit as without autopilot. If you hit the car in front of you because autopilot motivated you to look more at other cars around you, Tesla will say you misused the feature.

Ergo, what is the benefit? I’m only hearing benefits that result from violating the TOS.

Let's take a scenario. This seems to happen all the time on the freeway.

You're cruising down the freeway at 75 MPH. All of a sudden, traffic comes to a screeching halt.

There are 3 cars in this scenario. The first car is the one that slams on his brakes, and comes to a stop.

The second car, cannot stop in time, and he swerves out of the way, and safely gets into the adjacent lane. Close call, but he drives away safely.

The third car, is the Tesla, with the driver on Autopilot, and browsing Facebook on his iPhone. So, he is inattentive.

The whole sequence plays out in less than 5 seconds.

In this scenario, the third car, the Tesla, will not recognize the situation that the second car swerved out of the way. So the Tesla will collide into the first car at high speeds. The velocity of the impact kills all occupants inside the first car, and the third car, the Tesla. So, if both cars are full of occupants, then maybe up to 10 people are now dead.

The problem is that the Tesla does not have situational awareness. It cannot read the current road condition. It cannot see through the tinted windows of the 2nd car, to see that the first car has slammed on his brakes.

So, the accident severity of the Tesla, is much greater, than compared to a scenario where a human was driving the third car.

In this scenario, I think the human might be able to see the situation, and attempt to avoid it. Or to at least mitigate the severity of it. Like, he would slam on his brakes, or steer out of the way, or something. He might still collide with the first car, but probably at a much lower velocity, that all occupants of both cars can still survive.

It just seems that the severity of the accident with current robotic cars, just seems greater, than compared to when a human is the driver.

Well, none of them have been massive successes so I am not sure it is worth comparing them to Essential.

For long, Google has mostly sold nexuses in order to have demonstration devices of what Android could/should be.

Also, they needed dev devices for their engineers working on the next Android version anyway so it made sense to go the extra mile and sell a couple of them as well.

I don't think any of them has ever been low budget (below 200$); some have been middle budgets and some other high.
The Nexus 4 has been introduced at 300$ IIRC but it was not the rule by any length.

This is great! I think that some time in the future, FPGA will be a vital part for data processing.

In theory, an application with a computation-heavy task could program the FPGA to provide part of that task in hardware (think the hot innermost loop body).

What i was talking about in its most simple (though not most performant/scalable as it would be more complicated, so we wouldn't go into it now) implementation would look like this - the transactions involved with an invariant should start with locking of the "target" field of the invariant, the field C in your example:

T1: lock C

T2: attempt to lock C - blocked until T1 completes.

I.e. we have these 2 transactions serialized between themselves without unnecessary extra serialization with all the rest of the transactions in the system. The "target" field just plays the role of the mutex associated with the invariant (and this is why any invariant can be converted to that form just by having a mutex, ie. a "target" field, associated with it). From the theory of multi-threaded programming with mutexes we just know that everything can be implemented correctly in such a model. I.e. any application can be made correctly with READ COMMITTED isolation if required set of "mutexes" and their acquire/release is correctly implemented.

>Serializable execution can be made very very fast when there aren't actually a lot of conflicts.

not exactly. Serializability by itself is pretty expensive global invariant and your application would be paying for it in performance and scalability even though it may not really need it.
My daughter is lactose intolerant, and drinks cow's milk just fine - the trick is that it's had lactase added, an enzyme that converts the lactose into, from memory, galactose and some other sugar.
