I had the luck of being overqualified for my first job, straight out of college. I did X (CAD), but I chose my career because I wanted to be a developer. I did Y (sysadmin) because I showed my employer that I could do more. For half a year I did X+Y for the salary of X because I was young, optimistic and eager to please... until they hired a real sysadmin because surely he could do Y better than someone who does X and Y on the side.

From this I learned that being overqualified is a risky proposition. Even if your team appreciates the added value, your company might have other plans. I believe it's better to tighten your belt and wait for a more suitable opportunity than risk hurting your career growth.

BTW, your phrasing is perfectly fine. Try to read mine.
You just calculate the total load of the road and render enough cars appropriately with defined positions. Doing that logic through a physics system would collapse the entire simulation.
I trust governments less than companies because governments have thousands of years of history attesting to their ability to commit genocide based on ideology. Governments have killed millions because of ideas! Companies don’t have an incentive to kill their customers. And, a free market leads to people being able to choose to buy things from companies they like or refusing to buy dangerous products. People rarely have a choice in their government. Governments are inflicted upon people without a lot of power to stop them; companies can die relatively easily if they aren’t serving their customers.
False, read again the facts and stop spreading wrong conclusions or facts, btw the study you are thinking off is not open so it was not verified, I think there is an action in justice to open the data.
People always lament about how Tesla tries to mislead customer's about its capability, but is there actually data that shows this is truly the case among Tesla owners? How many times does "attention needed" beep is needed before customer can be considered reasonably informed that it is not fully self-driving?

Even among non-Tesla cars, whose manufacturers don't try to "mislead", 71 percent of people believe automatic emergency braking can avoid all crashes [0]. Is this percentage higher or lower for Tesla, and is that difference warranted?

percent overall."
> Yes. Sensationalist.

Yes, perhaps. But I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours. And time will tell who was right.

> So your explicit reason for omitting Waymo, as I understand it, is that it didn't support your argument?

You see, when you make any argument, you always omit the infinite number of things that don't support it and focus on the few things that do. The fact that something does not support my argument, does not mean it contradicts it.

You might also note that this is not a scientific paper, but an opinion. Yes, nothing more than an opinion. May I be wrong? Sure. And yet this opinion appears to shared by quite a few people, and makes a bunch of other people feel insecure. Perhaps there is something to it? We will see.

But in the worst case it will make some people think a bit and make an argument either for or against it. I may learn today a good argument against it, that will make me think about it more and perhaps I will change my opinion, or I'll be able to defend it.

So far you have not provided such an argument, but I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.

Wiki[1] seems to support your last sentence's description of how base 60 appeared.

Now, that approach would guarantee that your base is a product of two numbers (# fingers * # bones on non-thumb fingers). And, if your non-thumb fingers are roughly equivalent to each other, then that would guarantee it's a product of three numbers (# fingers * # non-thumb fingers * # bones per non-thumb finger). So I would say "it's a product of lots of numbers" does have a lot to do with the origins of base 60. Base 10, of course, is (# hands * # fingers per hand). Base 12 being more factorable than base 10 is just the luck of getting 3 * 4 vs 2 * 5.

From a wrestler to a wolf: thank you. Very helpful.
One way to avoid these types of crashes IMO is anomaly detection. It's quite simple to do anomaly detection in pixels using modern deep pixel prediction nets like PredNet. In my experiments you get a few seconds lead time on something like a car cutting you off (the car starts to head out of the lane before actually crossing it for example). This allows alerting the driver, and with a full windshield HUD you could even highlight the anomalous pixels on the windshield. The nice thing about this is that it can be trained in an unsupervised manner on all the available data. Some important details are to find anomalies in object bounding boxes, using something like Tensorflow's object detection pretrained net. Otherwise buildings with lots of striations would light up the anomaly detector. Also, you should detect anomalies in a human colorspace like CIELAB so that white cars (#fff) are not artificially weighted as more anomalous.

Finally, you could use this as input to a planner like Model Predictive Control where a higher cost is incurred for approaching anomalous objects.

I mean sure, you could buy something just as nice on ebay for 2$. but I imagine, your potential wife won't go for that.

When I proposed to my wife, she specifically requested the diamond cost a minimum of X dollars. I was unprepared and I didn't negotiate. I would imagine most potential wives also have a minimum threshold. It's basically, your down payment on a marriage.
It seems a legitimate question. I have never worked on this problem either but I would have thought that detecting a stationary object right in front of the car should be one of the basic and simpler functions of a self driving system.

Obviously this doesn't seem to be the case but maybe you can enlighten us why this is hard?
Having web assembly be a native subsystem... That's brilliant. Why has this not been attempted for Java or anything else for that matter? I guess you could count Microsoft's .NET implementation.

In any case, you could extend this beyond just user mode. Currently the domain of safe ring0 execution is eBPF as far as I know, but this would be way more approachable and other operating systems could implement it.

I've got no idea what the future is for this project but I really hope it doesn't stay in the realm of "fascinating but not practical."
Mike Hawthorn famously (or infamously) died in a Jaguar with a hand throttle, which could be considered a simple form of "cruise control".

It's the feedback systems that make cruise control safe: controlling the car's speed and not the simpler task of controlling the throttle position.
But I don't get the point here. The EU people have rejected the EU, yet again, just a few days ago. And once, again, the EU says "bad voters ! BAD ! try AGAIN" (note that the previous election was already an accelerated election. So this is not just rejecting the bad outcome of an election. They did that, STILL got an outcome they didn't like and rejected the redo-election".

> I've always understood the claim that deep learning scales to be a claim about deployment and use of trained models, not about training. The whole point is that you can invest (substantial) resources upfront to train a sufficiently good model, but then the results of that initial investment can be used with very small marginal costs.OP's argument on this front seems disingenous to me.

Remember that this is about deep "learning". If anything, the first thing that comes to mind is that it's the training (learning) that scales well.

It would. But I think the real threat is that man-made diamonds will likely become impossible to distinguish from natural, even with the expensive, specialty equipment that debeers has created.

At that point, natural and man-made will reach a price parity... Far below the current cost of natural diamonds. Because there will be no way of knowing where your diamond comes from.

Earth needed ~ 2 billion years for life to start. Frequent solar winds - especially in the first few billion turbulent years of the universe - basically sterilize planets and the whole 2-billion-year counter gets reset to 0.

A very boring, but instructive way is to read manuals cover to cover - for example the GNU Coreutils one [0]. This way, you become aware of the existence of a lot of tools (such as comm, which is part of the coreutils), and while reading you'll realize that some of them might be a better way of doing things than how you're doing them currently.

Other boring, but instructive reads (heavily GNU biased): diffutils [1], findutils [2], the Bash manual [3].

The tribalism goes both ways. Sadly, it's hard to be a pragmatic optimist and say "Yea it's probably going to change but there's also nothing we can do about it without killing millions of people through economic destruction and we'll likely adapt anyway (humans can adapt their civilizations in the time scales of climate change - see the rapid growth of Chinese cities), so let's not worry too much."

The new meta is no one has privacy. The default state of the internet invades your privacy. Period. So maybe down the road we’ll still have no privacy. But we can opt to sell it wholesale, all at once, instead of being lured into divulging it.

Buy the MSRP $7k Tiffany ring for $1k on the secondary market and it will probably grow in value over time. Antique Tiffany has always been pretty sought after.
I have to say that any autonomous vehicle tested on a public road MUST have a physically fit, non-obese driver in the driver's seat that is EXTREMELY agile and has the reflexes necessary to ensure the safety of the public. How obese that "driver" in that uber incident was is very surprising. That person could not physically qualify to test pilot a military aircraft, so how is that person allowed to test pilot a prototype vehicle on a public road???

> Not entirely true. Diamond prices fluctuate and have appreciated in value over time

Which wife wants to wear a used diamond? You probably are in first-hand sale and you don't resale. Diamond are like new cars; the moment you take it off the lot, it loses 40% of the value. You coudl truly bring it next day to same seller and he will offer you 30-45% less simply because "I have to be honest and tell new buyer its been worn before".

> You can say the same thing about art. Diamonds are collectors items.

No you cannot say the same, as Diamonds are not art. While each diamond is unique, their uniqueness does not add enough to value in order to justify holding it as a collector items. Their uniqueness is equal to each $1 dollar bill being unique because each have unique serial number.

Unless you keep very unique Diamond, majority of them will depreciate in value. Most art is unique from each other; I mean we just had few hundred millions bid on some popular paintings down at Rockefeller auctions; can you point me to any article when someone purchased diamond for X and sold it for Y, while Y > X ?

It's not strange at all for go.

Because third party go packages may not have a dep file, and because go programmers expect vendor directories to be minimal and not include unused imports, dep parses all of the go code of the project, and all the project's transitive dependencies.

It has to parse every .go file to find all 'import' statements, and it also has to find remote versions by making multiple network requests per dependency (typically 1 http-get + 1 git pull operation).

This is obviously going to be much slower than cargo where it's assumed every dependency is also using cargo and all needed information is present in metadata files... and there's one single fast api to download data from and cache (crates.io).

If cargo had to do the equivalent of `cargo check`-style parsing to find all 'extern crate' and 'use' statements before it could spit out a valid lock, and it couldn't use only 1 request to update all crates.io data, it would probably be closer to the speed of dep.

I think the speed difference is thus largely a result of go's lack of a central repository and lack of a unified packaging solution.

Yeah, my workflow is generally to use tshark (wireshark's command-line tool) for server-side capture, then scp file to local and use wireshark gui to poke around.

But it's good to know more about tcpdump than I did before, because when things get complicated it's good to have more options.

> > In Tesla's particular case, the opt-in UX was even worse, because its automatic emergency braking wouldn't engage if autopilot was off

> Simpson's use of the brake also apparently disengaged the automatic emergency braking system

I don't think the second statement necessarily implies the first. The automatic braking system may be a secondary system to the autopilot that is also disengaged when the driver is actively using the brake system. Indeed, that is how I would expect it to function, as if the driver is actively dealing with the current condition, it is probably a bad idea to wrest control away from them. For example, how do you propose a driver would expect to stop automatic braking that happens erroneously? A quick press of the brakes or gas would be my initial guess, and what I would first try. Given that an erroneously acting auto-braking system can also cause accidents, rapid disengagement capability is important.

I think opening "prologue" scenes like this are mostly about priming the audience's expectations. Movies do this too; the story of The Matrix begins with Neo working as a corporate drone, but the opening scene is an action sequence with Trinity getting chased by a police as a promise of things to come. There's value in letting the audience know what kind of story they're in for, especially if you're planning on taking awhile to get there.

Notably, these kinds of scenes aren't there to sell the audience a false bill of goods. Quite the opposite, in fact: the first few chapters of a story aren't always representative of the whole, hence the addition of a prologue to give the audience a sense of what's to come in later chapters.

As an example of what can happen when an author doesn't do this, Dan Wells' I Am Not A Serial Killer is about a teenager who works in a mortuary and investigates a series of brutal deaths around his town, and discovers that the killer is actually a millennia-old monster. The supernatural reveal doesn't happen until halfway through the book, and if you go on Amazon and sort by 1-star reviews, you'll find a lot of them come from people who thought they were reading a crime story and then got upset when they discovered they were reading a paranormal YA novel. When it came time to publish Wells' next book, his publisher told him, "This time, we're putting the monster on the cover of the book."
