It seems De Beers strategy is to clearly differentiate a man made stone vs a natural stone.

This way a man made stone can't easily cannibalize the value of a natural stone's market price premium.

The goal it seems is in-fact to maintain a premium with natural stones which is De Beers speciality. If they can't have all the revenues, De Beers want all the profits of the industry.

What are your quality metrics and over what timescale are you measuring?

Are you treating everyone in your organization as equivalent resources or are you allocating people based on strengths/specialties?

Having a heterogeneous team with breadth of experience across the stack helps to isolate you from the real business risks of group-think and "not knowing what you don't know". It's a hedge and a pillar of a resilient, long-term-oriented organization.

If you just want to have a get-shit-done culture, move fast and pivot/abort when things get bad, you probably want all 20 year olds. However, if you look at the organizational structure of banks, who are literally in the business of managing business risk, you will see diversity and redundancy in hiring.

Side note: Every single time I've seen a complaint about X group doesn't work as effectively as Y group, it's almost always a management misallocation of (human) resource. Not calling you out specifically, just wondering how much thought was put into team/work structure.
Too many false positives; sensors would only be usable for cars that moved a few km/h at most. Even if you're driving normally, various other objects appear in your path all the time.
From TFA:

> "Tesla has always been clear that Autopilot doesn't make the car impervious to all accidents, and before a driver can use Autopilot, they must accept a dialogue box which states that 'Autopilot is designed for use on highways that have a center divider and clear lane markings,'" a Tesla spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Does this dialog box appear every time the car is started or is it a one time thing, just like terms of services?
When we were building a golf tee time web site we eventually decided on this as well: always store the date-time as a string in the timezone local to the event. Convert to a date-time object in whatever timezone the user prefers (or golf tee time service APIs prefer :-P) on demand.

There is still a caveat, though. Locations can change timezone. Sometimes they do it fairly often (like every few years). You need access to a good timezone/location database that is updated regularly :-(

When we were doing this project, I was really surprised at how often we got problems. If you sell things all over the world (there are golf courses in ridiculous places), the probability that you will stumble into an anomaly is surprisingly high. Alas, this project was not a commercial success as the margins on tee times are quite small (and the tee time services you have to work with are often quite badly written). But it was quite fun to work on.
I'm curious as to what part of the assertion that cannon superiority was one of the biggest factors in the Fall of the City is being debated, can you provide some resources?

The bombards (muzzle loaded cannons) were widely known and used in Europe, e.g. the famous Mons Meg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mons_Meg); what distinguishes the cannons that Mehmet had Orban built (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orban) were their sheer size and the technological knowledge in casting such massive bronze bombards, that Western Europe lacked at that time. For an informal description of Orban's work see http://www.camrea.org/2017/09/11/orban-the-man-who-brought-d...

Note that just having this massive cannon did not make it a done deal: due to overheating, the bombard had to be cooled for a long period after each shot in which time the Byzantine defenders quickly mended the walls with rubble and any other materials they could find. In the end they just got overwhelmed.
You can introduce artificial defects during the manufacturing process to subvert detection of authenticity.

The next evolution in clickwrap licensing, this time its fatal.
This list is misguided.

How many crashes do we have from people using regular cruise control features? Is the incident rate per mile when using Autopilot from Tesla higher or lower than regular cruise control?

Those are the right questions in my opinion.
One can also see elevators as self-driving electric vertical motion vehicles. Sure, they are not operating on public roads, and the extra constraints reduce complexity, but they've been around for a while.

Personally, I don't see mining operations as anything remotely close to public roads autonomous vehicles because you have a controlled environment in which paid workers that have been trained to interact with equipment and be aware of its limitations and dangers are performing the said interactions in a strictly constrained manner with the autonomous equipment clearly visible as such and while protected by all kinds of insurance and work-specific regulations.

There's none of that even in the testing stage of current "autonomous" driving vehicles.
Oh, cool. That one's also a good read. It's more of a user's perspective on Processing.
Tesla made a huge mistake naming this feature "Autopilot".
One time thing. The display does tell you to pay attention and keep your hands on the wheel on every activation though.
Yes, because people are known for diligently reading fine print. /s

Cadillac has an eye-tracking system that deactivates the self-driving features if you aren't watching the road, and their system is limited to specific highways they have mapped.

Tesla has a ridiculously inadequate attentiveness control, and they do little to nothing to remind people who regularly fail to keep their hands on the wheel. They don't nag people because they want them to believe the car is more capable than it actually is.

And, I say that as a proud owner of a Model S with Autopilot v1.

Well it says in the article that De Beers developed a machine to spot synthetic diamonds, so I presume so.

RFC 2606 ("Reserved Top Level DNS Names") not RFC 2616 ("Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1")? I would have gone with the latter.

Related: I just noticed Cloudflare's DNS service (1.1.1.1) follows the suggestion in RFC 2606 and resolves *.localhost to 127.0.0.1. That can be handy for local web development etc. There are some other wildcard domains that resolve to 127.0.01 but I usually can't remember them.
I think Cargo-like is the direction things are headed even with vgo. In a way, though, I don't think the answer is that Go is "special," just that they wanted to explore the problem space of package management, dependencies, etc. in more detail before locking things down. It may have ended in a slightly weakened ecosystem temporarily, but I hope it helps to ensure that the semantics and behavior of Go's package management is level headed and simple. Hopefully, by Go 2, a lot of the common concerns with the Go programming language will be answered...

Sorry, I'm not arguing with you. What I'm addressing is that the particular mechanisms only matter once the objective - affordable health care as right or a privilege - is broadly established and agreed upon. Until then, debating the mechanisms, whether taxes or mandates, or nothing at all if one believes health care is a privilege, doesn't address the root problem.
The car should be able to detect if those 'center dividers and clear lane markings' are visible warn the user, or shutdown.
That's horrifying. Did you report him to the staff?
Assuming that every major AP collision, it is pretty amusing that the latest non-fatal ones have all coincidentally involved emergency vehicles. I imagine it must be related to how such vehicles have the right to park just about anywhere, including on roadways in which drivers do not expect parked vehicles.

Someone always says this, but starting with cat sure makes it easier compose the command line. When working with big files, start with "head -1000 | sort | uniq ..." and switch to cat after you work out the command. Or you start composing the command and realize you need to sort on field 2, so insert a "cut" before the "sort" etc.
Very large work sites are far from completely controlled environments. Visitors, wildlife, weather, equipment malfunctions, human error, and a host of edge cases from trespassers to protesters.

All vehicles can safely communicate with each other and are controlled from central location.

It is automated driving but not even close to "self-driving".
> 8 SF VC autopilot crash, she took over control just before the autopilot crash, Tesla blamed her for being in control when the crash happened. In her words 'its your fault if you take control, its your fault when you do not take control'.

That's right. It's your fault either way, driver, just like it is in airplanes with autopilot.
How many non-Autopilot cars have crashed into parked vehicles? It happens a lot, to the extent that a lot of states have “move over” laws explicitly designed to reduce it.

Does Autopilot actually make the problem worse, or is it just more newsworthy?
tldr: De Beers is going to sell synthetic diamonds, after having vowed they wouldn't. (The already did but limited the synthetic ones to industrial applications.) Price will be ~1/10th that of naturals.

My reaction: "Oh, come on, this is the most insidious monopolist on the planet. What's the catch?"

I think this is it:

>The new synthetic diamonds will come in pink, blue and white, and the stones will contain a tiny Lightbox logo. De Beers said the logo won't be visible to the naked eye, but it will make the stones easily identifiable as lab-grown.

Sounds like a plan to ensure that synthetic diamonds are quickly distinguishable from natural ones and the latter still command a premium. (They had long been seeking a way to ensure distinguishability after lab-growers kept frustrating such efforts.)
I might not be remembering my History of Math correctly, but my recollection is that the Babylonians used Base 60, and 12 is an even subdivision of that. I also recall other Asian number systems having base 12 in some capacity, so there may be something to the counting methodology he outlined if it showed up in a few separate parts of the world.

Counting that way on one hand and then using the other hand to tally the groups would give you 5 sets of 12 or 60.

I can’t believe that anyone thinks the brain is somehow the only organ of the human body that does not decline with age - as for evidence start with the wiki page on this topic [0].

Once again I can’t believe that people think their boss(es) don’t know how productive they are. While it is not easy and mistakes are often made, it is not difficult to know approximately how productive your reports are. If as a boss you don’t know this you should be fired for incompetence.

Everyone declines with age, but not everyone gets dementia. You have made an extraordinary claim that there are some people that don’t suffer cognitive decline as they age. Are you able to provide any evidence to back up this claim?

So then we should ban cruise control too? No, we should educate people how to use new technologies properly.
Yes Tesla are leveraged so that they are far more vulnerable to a crisis of confidence than any of the traditional manufacturers.

Moved my domains to Porkbun as well, price is over 30% cheaper than Namecheap for .com renewals ($13 vs $9), privacy is also free, and they've got a real 2FA solution which Namecheap still does not have after all these years, so I'll be sticking with the Pork.

It was basically a tossup between Porkbun and Namesilo, so I went with the service with the more modern interface even though I don't interact with it much.

how is autopilot feature still allowed to be called auto pilot? it mistakenly leads people to believe that it can drive itself. The name literally means - a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required.

After multiple deaths now the head of marketing at Tesla should be criminally prosecuted (or whoever is the big shot who signed off on this name).
"Lightbox will transform the lab-grown diamond sector by offering consumers a lab-grown product they have told us they want but aren't getting: affordable fashion jewelry that may not be forever, but is perfect for right now"

This is clearly a play to devalue the image of man made diamonds. "May not be forever" my ass, it's the exact same thing. Their goal is probably to try to quickly drive the price of man made diamonds down to the price of Moissanite, and create a artificial distinction between natural and man made dimaonds. All of this so the price of man made diamonds doesn't bring down the price of the natural stones with it.
Lovely... But if it works great 99.9% of the time it may just lull you into a false sense of security. Not saying the driver isn't at fault but this is especially true for Tesla where a firmware update may change autopilot behaviour in ways the driver doesn't expect.
Interestingly enough, this starts to bring up questions that have previously only been super active in science fiction circles, particularly, Star Trek: If you can perfectly recreate something down to the molecular level, what actually has value? (Assuming, someday, that synthetic versions are excessively cheap, in Star Trek's case.)

If you can replicate cooked food perfectly, will people still claim that "real" food, grown, slaughtered, and cooked, is "better" or tastes "more authentic", despite no technical difference?

Synthetic diamonds could, in fact, be in every way "better" (though hilariously, De Beers suggests a synthetic diamond "may not be forever"), but I won't be surprised if authentic diamonds remain the "real ones" long term. (After all, as we know, diamonds actually have no real value, it's all marketing.)

Where do people here think the medical records were posted? On yelp? On the lawyers website? It is so weird people are just thinking that this stuff is posted publicly.
>This is great news for scientific research- diamonds for experimental purposes are a huge market that's impeded by their artificially high cost

is this really the case? AFAIK industrial diamonds are quite cheap. if anything, debeers's meddling made industrial diamonds cheaper, because it suppressed the demand from the jewelry market.
Ah. I generally find it helps to understand the problem space. With a sufficient understanding, sometimes one can come up with elegant solutions that can cut past the BS.

That approach of mine is frequently misunderstood and perceived to be things like making excuses or justifying the current status quo, etc.
You're right, 'lane assist' is probably more appropriate. However, it's not 'autobrake' or 'auto-no-crash', the feature is actually called 'autopilot'. (why does that article say 'autosteer')

An autopilot maintains heading, and that's all. Many sailors are not techies --- an autopilot on a boat will run you right into an obstacle.
cruise control - means just controlling cruising speed. thats all. Constant 55mph or whatever speed you desire.

Auto pilot literally means vehicle operation without human participation. The name autopilot should be banned.

So that others benefit from my experience: the cheat code to this is to work in marketing tech. You will have domain experience in all of these in a relatively short time because you will have had to deal with partners & clients from these domains.

You also learn very quickly how any company makes its money, what they consider positive contributions to the bottom line and how you can be one of those.

Except for at the fringes of new tech, traditional business is far more personally rewarding than working in the seeking-funding startup snakepit.
You can still find new things that way. I get all kinds of recommendations on Netflix that I wouldn't have found on my own, but they still have high odds I will like them. And then not have to read through a dozen that are of no interest before you finally find a good one.

I don't follow it super closely but there is exactly 1 car manufacture that I can think of guilty of pushing the self driving myth. The established car makers seem to market it as an assist, not as an autopilot. Tesla is the outlier, everyone else is much more conservative.

The Ottomans had the men and materiel to besiege Constantinople for an extended period of time, and the Byzantines didn't have much means to bear the siege or relieve it (although the Venetians were en route). Note that Mehmet also pulled off the trick of moving his navy into the Goldern Horn, thus completing the encirclement on sea and on land.

Constantinople would likely have fallen anyways, it was just a matter of how long it would have taken and how many lives would have been lost.

I remember reading people saying that insurance premiums will plummet for Teslas because of how much safer they will be on the road.

Today I read Tesla is getting into the insurance business because premiums are getting out of hand. It makes some sense since internally they’ll have more data they can use to deny claims.

It’s interesting how reality plays out.

No synthetic diamonds will show a cape spectrum.

It goes on to describe other types of visible tests.

So to be absolutely correct, you store future timestamps in localtime, along with GPS coordinates of the location for the event. Then you determine the time zone of the physical locale based on a GIS lookup. Then when rendering, you offset that against the timezone of the user’s current location. I think.

I hate time.
It says “autosteer” because that’s the name of one of the components. Tesla’s Autopilot is autosteer, traffic-aware cruise control, and some safety features like automatic emergency braking.
