But the Autopilot has cameras, and therefore it has 3+1D data (2D frames, 1D inferred depth from stereo or training, 1D time from frame diffs). Even with a 30fps frame rate at 60mph, two frames from a video feed would see the truck move closer by a meter. The network can be trained to distinguish a truck in the lane from an overpass, so those two frames should be sufficient to signal danger. Instead, the car accelerated over 70 meters before the human, again using just her eyes, applied the brakes.

This is an edge case, and clearly something that requires more training to avoid. The challenge in edge-case learning is to encounter them often enough, or perhaps create them artificially, and then to ensure the learning can be transferred and generalized to all similar situations.

I even mentioned the GDPR in the essay BTW.
The personal information here is the IP-Bob tuple, not the IP on its own. Bob might as well be assigned a new address from DHCP on a daily basis. His friends might be using his address. He might have used the address of some public network in the first place. All or these are pretty likely scenarios. The IP is only interesting given the context of who uses it and when, so as to separate Bob from Alice, and Bob's favorite cafe and Bob's workplace from Bob's home, and to figure out if Bob is ever visiting Alice.

So if Bob asks for his personal information to be cleared and the system leaves Bob-IP tuples behind, it clearly didn't do what he told it to do.
>allowing you to not constantly exert force on the steering wheel using your arms/hands.

This is not the benefit of autopilot because this task requires virtually no effort to begin with and you still need your hands on the wheel anyway. The real strain in driving is the mental strain, and that is why people turn it on.

The reality is that Telsa is using humans to iron out the bugs in their fully autonomous vehicles and legal clauses to get them out of the fact that they are killing people.

I have a car with all of those new safety features like warnings about cars to your side as you change lanes, warnings about cars driving past as you reverse out of a car park and so on. The reality is that you stop performing the roles that the car starts performing. You stop looking as much when you reverse out of a car park because you trust the beeping noise will occur if a car is coming along, and so on.

It is just human nature to start relying on something that works every time you use it. I don't really feel sorry for anyone driving a tesla though. They are the ones choosing to be Tesla's bug testers.
I’m not on the warpath, but I will consistently dispute rosy predictions about the “good natured enforcers” (a direct quote from Jacques) of GDPR. No law or regulation this easy to violate, with fines this large, that claims extraterritorial powers, has ever not been abused, and this will be no exception.

With regard to your claim that it will not be subject to unique interpretations in each country within the EU, that simply isn’t true. Each country will have its own enforcement agencies. They’ll enforce it in different ways, and to different degrees. Since this regulation is so vague, it simply isn’t possible that they will all interpret and enforce it in the same way.

You seem to be in Jacque’s corner, claiming that our new self-appointed privacy overlords will be perfectly coordinated and “good natured”. As someone with quite a bit of experience dealing with government agencies, I can tell you that few of those that seek out relatively low-paying government jobs where the primary perk is having power over other people are “good natured”. There will be abuses.

The good news is that D-Day is here, and now we can all stop arguing and watch to see whose predictions come true.
My gripe with this argument is that even some humans can have a reaction time to at least start braking under these circumstances, I don't mean all drivers but as an example: I raced go-karts (just as an amateur but took some lessons and also some racing classes in cars with 300 hp) and sometimes my reflexes while racing were surprising, even for myself, narrowly avoiding collisions at 100+ km/h in tight circuits. With that said I'd have thought that sensors and computers could be much faster than even my trained reflexes.
Why is anyone surprised? We're talking about an extremely super terribly ethical mega-corporation here...

I wonder whether the camels will begin to be farmed intensively, the same as cows?

To get cows to produce milk for us, they are artificially inseminated or introduced to a bull once a year to produce a calf. If the calf is born female, she may be raised as part of the dairy herd. If the calf is male, it's off to the slaughterhouse or strapped into a pen the size of a cupboard for a few months before slaughter: that gives us veal. Three months after birth, the cow is inseminated again for the next year's cycle.

The cows are distressed at being separated from their newborn young, year on year, and most only live 4 to 5 years (natural lifespan would be around 18), before being sent to the slaughterhouse themselves: that gives us leather, cosmetics and a hundred other things.
That's an adjustable-rate mortgage. A traditional US 30-year mortgage has a fixed rate for the entire term. You can refinance, if you want to, but you're just getting a new 30-year (or 15-year) loan which pays off the old one, and then you have a new fixed rate for that entire term.

I blame the cop. Just because police are called doesn't mean someone needs to get murdered. It's the police who bring the idea to the table to murder someone.

Without even an attempt at controlling police guns and power, there is no dialogue. The false report in this case is secondary and hardly interesting when considering the main issue, the police.

In both the UK and the US, the legal systems have a strong presumption against that interpretation for laws which don't say otherwise.

The example you give is one where Congress made clear they intended it to apply to citizens abroad, so the courts honor that.

(As for the US Constitution, it is held to protect the rights of US citizens abroad in relation to the US government, to the extent the US government knows or should know of their citizenship.)

I am a picky eater so I doubt I could ever go vegan but I do think some of the stuff done is really odd and sad... Like to lactate they need to keep having babies. Like if you're a woman you can't just go produce breast milk on demand like it's some sort of tap. Because the milk is meant to feed your young. That's why we have veal, as they keep having to have babies and they don't want to spend the resources to let them grow up to be big happy cows on a open field. So they are killed so young, little chance to even live and start their lives.

Then for silk fabric, they boil the sac's alive.
Then a lot of meat and egg plants, due to bio security the employees there have to wear company issued underwear and clothes which isn't cleaned between shifts always... Some reports of them wearing disposable diapers instead for underwear.

So a lot of odd things go on in the farming industry. I love eating steak and chicken but if I had to go kill them myself I'd feel so guilty. Well some kids raised on farms will play with the chickens and then grow up where their parrents force them to kill them and help out on the farm.

Seems like a hard life. I always wanted to own a farm though, nice open fields and private. No loud neighbors or anything, seems peaceful but I'd stick to somthing like corn, water melons, pumpkins, potatoes probably. Well plants are technically alive too but I guess they don't show any emotion and aren't fluffy.

No, it would probably take a large part of that time to even react, especially if you are looking at a screen.

However, if the safety driver was trained to brake immediately upon warnings it could have worked quite well. But that would negate the removal of e-brake actuation.....

Not all people, institutions, countries make the same distinction between "real engineering" topics and other topics that you seem to be assuming.

Compiler prices mostly.

You could get a compiler for C, Pascal, Basic, Forth, ... for a few hundred, while Ada compilers were priced in thousands.

Then when vendors started selling SDKs for their OSes, it was an hard sell to get management to pay for the SDK and then an additional compiler, instead of using the languages provided on the OS SDK.

> So? It's gone forever whether you default or not.

Your premise assumes housing values never go back up. The value is not necessarily gone forever.

The house that declined to $300k can climb back to $400k or $500k.

You can continue paying the mortgage, do absolutely nothing else, and watch as the property value climbs back to where it was due to economic factors (whether a hot economy or low interest rates fueling value recovery).

Over five years, from Jan 2010 to Jan 2015 you pay $120,000 in mortgages payments on the $400,000 mortgage. You get back to 2015 and the housing market has recovered your property back to over $400k (from the low of $300k). You continue making your mortgage payments. By Jan 2018, thanks to hot asset prices, your house is now worth $550,000. You're now solidly above water, you've paid off ~26% of your mortgage term (eight years of payments), and you're sitting on maybe $200,000 in equity value vs your original $500k purchase price. The value of the property recovered, and you didn't lose your $100k down payment from walking away.

Depending on the circumstances, you may very well have been better off holding on to a property in 2009-2010, rather than selling at a loss. The housing value recovery has been extraordinary over the last six or seven years. Certainly some property scenarios were extreme, where owners were perma-buried. The worst hit states, such as Arizona, Nevada, Florida, etc. saw rapid value recoveries.

For me, MVVM works in 90%. The trick is to recognize the 10% of things for which it doesn’t, and do something else like code behind, or programmatic visual tree manipulation/generation, or something else.

> I think they're a great option for desktop UIs

If that desktop UI is a thin interface between user and a web server/cloud, maybe. If that desktop UI actually does something locally, I don’t think HTML is a great option: shell integration, WinAPI interop (both need COM interop). Also JavaScript isn’t exceptionally good general-purpose programming language especially for medium to large projects, e.g. MS had to create a TypeScript on top of JS for their VS Code.

But if things like this _actually_ trigger any sort of response, then the effed up thing isn't the (childish) prank, it's the system actually acting on nonsense.

A TOR relay is pretty safe. You're just a middle-man and have no clue about what's going on.

Now let's add a fourth car, a Toyota without TACC, whose driver is also browsing Facebook on his phone. This driver also does not recognize the situation and will collide into the first car at a high speed. Is this worse than the third car? No, probably not. In short, the assumption that a human driver without Autopilot is paying attention and will swerve out of the way is not a valid one. People drive distracted in traditional cars all the time.

BTW, from what I have heard, Teslas might actually be better at seeing through other cars than human drivers are, since radar can bounce in ways visible light can't.

How much do they detail those inputs, variables, and limitations vs you making assumptions about them?
The systems in VWs are like that by purpose. Their premium brands do behave better, yet they still not on the level of Tesla's system (I refuse to call it autopilot). Still, no one knows if what Tesla does is indeed that much better, or it just has all the settings set to eleven.

Digression: I've seen a direct comparison of all the popular semi-autonomous systems somewhere, but can't find it now. So, take it with a pinch of salt, but from what I recall the only worthy rival to Tesla's system is GM's SuperCruise, and BMW has a somewhat competent lane assist system.
