Yes, but as long as you're flying something that doesn't require a type rating, you can take your checkride in a plane without autopilot, pass, then hop into a plane that has one and start using it.

The max fine is 4% with a $20m floor.

People play games with language and try to pretend that just because judges have discretion that this isn't somehow ridiculous.

It is not mandatory that the EU issue a warning. What the EU should have done if they didn't want small startup owners to freak out is they should have made the process clearer and if the $20m level is only aimed at massive corporations then why make it $20m at all? Why not just make it 10% of revenue? I'm not from the EU, I have no idea how the EU court system works. They did not make this easy for small startups.
I remember trying to use that. I got random audible speed ups and slow downs as it tried to get different speakers in sync. It would never truly blend to feel like a single audio stream.
Separate SSID, but possibly the same external IP address
That's most likely the result of how CVE numbers are allocated: in sequence.
Subaru Outback is vastly superior collision avoidance than AP which probably says a lot about software quality. It certainly doesn't have better sensors.
Not really.

Synthetic diamonds can be readily detected by at least two instruments sold by De Beers.[1] They look at emissive and absorptive optical features that aren't due to impurities, but due to defects (vacancies, stacking faults, interstitials, etc.). These crystal defects are atomic-scale departures from lattice perfection that are inherent to high growth rates (compared to natural diamonds). You can't see them on visual inspection.

These machines are expensive, even when sold at De Beer's cost. You won't see them in the corner jewelry store. But for stones > a carat, it's worthwhile to send a gem to services that use these machines to determine whether the stone is, for example, a natural type IIa (the purest of natural diamonds) or a potential synthetic that "needs further characterization".

Well, now that the cat's out of the bag in regards to AI/ML, we can all get in on the ground floor of the next hype wave - quantum computing!
What is the difference between “objects in front of you that it senses” and “obstructions in a lane”?
Few questions that would be helpful to know the answer to

- accident rate of Tesla drivers that don’t use autopilot

- accident rate of other cars in the same market/category as Tesla’s (are wealthy people better drivers?)

- accident rate of cars with Tesla Autopilot engaged

- accident rate of other cars with similar ‘assistive’ technologies.
Anymore?
Stover's Caine's Law starts with an author's note: "Several parts of this story take place before the events depicted in Act of Atonement Book 1: Caine Black Knife. Other parts of this story take place after. Still other parts take place before and after both. Some parts may be imaginary, and some were real only temporarily, as they have subsequently unhappened."

That must have been driven by comments from initial readers, I suspect. Basically, some of the characters are rewriting the overall story of the series.
IMHO Quantum computing is as well hyped as Cold Fusion and shares some of its properties. Until "quantum supremacy" occurs or something that will show a real speedup we won't hear that much from it.
Could be the timing was wrong? I'd think that an online direct to consumer model could work now with focus on social media marketing. Worst case you get bought out by De Beers if you make headway, especially now they are getting in the consumer synthetic market themselves.
I feel like I-5 between SF and LA is probably one of the safer places to use it. Any place else, maybe not so much.
They're equally capable according to that test, and it's not optional equipment on the Tesla.
Self Driving RVs and Bay Area rent/realestate prices. Imagine being able to wake up in front of your office, then walk the 10 feet back "home" at the end of the day. Then after an hour or so of hanging out in your mobile home's living room walking outside to your spot in the Muir Woods.
So don’t ship it then? Honestly, it seems like a fairly fundamental feature, doesn’t it?

That said, browsing the repo online, it looks like a pretty useful tutorial.
I think that we will have AI Winter once we see the true limitations that face us having a level 5 fully autonomous self driving car. The other thing we will see happen is the deflation of the AdTech bubble. Once we see both of these events occurring that should start the AI Winter.

The information should already be in their mapping systems. It should not offer to activate on unsupported roads. It will offer to activate in downtown with stop signs even couple hundred feet in the small city I live in. It will offer to activate driving through a residential neighborhood...
What is the societal value of adding more (and real-time) data to insurance?

In general, insurance helps spread risk. This means that if something drastically bad happens we distribute the impact over a larger population reducing the individual impact.

In the extreme if you perfectly assess risk insurance ceases to have any value. The insurance costs would perfectly reflect the risk and there would be no benefit to owning insurance.

My hunch is that this kind of data driven insurance could help people avoid risky situations. But I’m not sure that’s a given and it seems like there are many downsides (particularly if the risk is unavoidable).

I’d be interested in perspectives on this.
May be these journals should move away from publishing and rather be in the business of curation from a source such as arxiv; Arxiv has a wealth of content, may be journals could sift through them and produce periodic curated lists of work that is the most significant.
AI and machine learning is a tool. Like any other tool it's perfect for some problems and doesn't work well for other. Pick the right tools for the problem that you are working on. Don't follow the hype and don't use AI/ML just for sake of using it.
You should be a writer.
Could you provide an example? I don’t recall such an episode.
Rust was actually around for a good while before Cargo was adopted. (In fact, there were two Cargos, the older of which bore very little resemblance to the Cargo of today.) Of course, Go was stable for longer.

I have to admit I'm a bit confused as to why the dependency resolution algorithm in dep is seen as slow. The speed of the solver is not a problem in any other package management system I've seen. If it is indeed the solver that is the problem (which, again, I'm skeptical of—I'd have to see profiling data to believe it), then it could just come down to optimization differences between rustc and Go 6g/8g.
The parent is probably a very complex system with too many pathways involved in their life to be confident that none of them will get involved in a side-reaction. I'm not a surface impurity on a roll of sheet metal but that doesn't mean I'll stick my hand into a steel pickling vat.

Binocular vision can do it just fine under most circumstances. Subaru Outback with Eye Sight is better than AP for this by far.

I have travelled to dozens of (developed) countries and the US is where free speach is being slaughtered more often than any other place (UK and Germany are following very close).
What will really change is your ability to hop in a car and literally drive anywhere you want; be it some random corner of your yard, backing down a boat ramp, or some unmarked gravel road deep in the country side. Not to mention the day companies and governments have the ability to electronically restrict where you or the population at large can visit. It will become trivial to look down entire cities and road systems.

I think people will under-appreciate this incredible freedom in travel which we have now until it's gone.

Well, he got a bunch of numbers, looked at them until he saw some meaningless pattern, and told the pattern to everybody.

It's the same kind of thing numerologists say they do. He certainly kept a very open mind, he wouldn't get the correct result otherwise, but as far as appearances go, he looked exactly like a numerologist.

(And from the mixing that astrology, numerology, and astronomy had at the time, he probably sounded like a numerologist too. Maybe even identified himself as one.)
Sounds like a bad excuse to me
I don’t totally disagree with you but I will point out that planes land everyday in white out conditions with no visibility due to level 3 landing systems. The pilot can’t see anything and thus can’t help really even if they are awake. They’re mostly just there to talk to air traffic control for these kinds of landings. One pilot told me the Airbus planes no longer allow manual control.
Based on all of your citations for evidence which should be numerous since it is by definition information delivered to the public.
But don't Tesla's have Collision Avoidance Assist on by default? That's a distinct feature from autopilot. That's primarily what helps out in situations that you've noted.

Autopilot basically adds autosteering to that. Seems to me that could lull you into more distracted situations that collision avoidance is unable to cope with.

Note: autopilot and collision avoidance both came out around the same time, so it's far from clear that autopilot has resulted in a reduction in accident rates, or if it was mostly just the collision avoidance.
From your link:

The first car with Teetor's system was the 1958 Imperial (called "Auto-pilot") using a speed dial on the dashboard.

How ironic. I wonder how many drivers using that system crashed, thinking it would do everything for them...

Hit pieces like this only serve to further prove cameras shouldn't be in the courtroom. The seemingly archaic questions about phonographs and compact discs are not because the justices are living in the 70s, but an attempt to better understand how current issues relate to existing case law.

That's been a personal theory of mine. Though I phrase it more like, the sense of time passing correlates with the number of mind-blowing or life-changing or non-routine experiences that happen during the given time span. You have a lot more of those, the younger and less experienced you are. So it's somewhat related to age, but not directly.

Never have been able to get into the whole meditation thing though, so I always figured the only way was to just find ever newer things to do. But then that would put you on the 'hedonic treadmill' as it were...

For some reason git-scm.com is almost always slow at updating links to new Git for Windows releases.

I’ve found lane keeping assistants to be fantastic, but you have to think of them as ASSISTING.

It’s not going to drive for you. But it does an amazing job of basically canceling out crosswinds when you find yourself driving down the highway. It makes a huge difference, it makes it much less tiring/frustrating.

Going slow on a windless day? Straight street? Not that useful.

For helping with very gentle curves or very annoying crosswinds it’s quite nice.
A different take by Google’s cofounder, Sergey Brin, in his most recent Founders’ Letter to investors:

“The new spring in artificial intelligence is the most significant development in computing in my lifetime.”

He listed many examples below the quote.

“understand images in Google Photos;

enable Waymo cars to recognize and distinguish objects safely;

significantly improve sound and camera quality in our hardware;

understand and produce speech for Google Home;

translate over 100 languages in Google Translate;

caption over a billion videos in 10 languages on YouTube;

improve the efficiency of our data centers;

help doctors diagnose diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy;

discover new planetary systems;
...”

An example from another continent:

“To build the database, the hospital said it spent nearly two years to study more than 100,000 of its digital medical records spanning 12 years. The hospital also trained the AI tool using data from over 300 million medical records (link in Chinese) dating back to the 1990s from other hospitals in China. The tool has an accuracy rate of over 90% for diagnoses for more than 200 diseases, it said.“

Diamonds Are Bullshit
This is not super recent information. There have been estimates that there are about as many rogue planets as stars since 2011. There's still a pretty wide variation in the estimate of the number of rogue planets from study to study, so the frequency is pretty uncertain. But even if the numbers are on the high side, it's not anywhere close to explain dark matter. Supposing that there are 10 Jupiter mass planets for every star, that would only increase the luminous mass of the Galaxy by 1%. Dark matter accounts for more than ten times the mass of the Galaxy as luminous matter.
And yet none of the food we farm hasn’t been modified, genetically. None of it is natural. Are you as worried about new strains of rice? I can see a good argument to worry about all of it, but picking a particular method and demonising it confuses me. But perhaps it’s because I’ve not been exposed to the anti-GMO propaganda (and pro-) that the USA is flooded with that I’m not “intelligent”?

Before K&R insurers got together, firms and wealthy families were paying badly negotiated sky high ransoms. Now professionals negotiators with ice running through their veins negotiate much better "deals" and also reduce the risk of death by two thirds.

Much lower ransoms should mean kidnapping is less profitable and so supply should decrease (of kidnappings).
Both the sun and the distance's involved are massive, so besides the scientific observations nothing will change. You would need something massive like a brown dwarf that's already near the fusion point to really screw up the sun

Well, I guess the second doesn't presuppose that it senses them. But I think you concentrated on the wrong thing:

Autopilot is not designed to steer around obstructions.

Autopilot is designed to brake for obstructions.

It sometimes fails to brake for obstructions. But it sometimes succeeds in braking for obstructions. It never steers around obstructions, even if it senses them perfectly.
Tesla and the driver are at fault here. Tesla for not prohibiting operation on the types of roadways where it is not designed to be used and the driver for using it where it’s not designed to be used.
Die Wand (The Wall, 2012, Austria) - A woman on holiday in the mountains is suddenly trapped behind an invisible wall, with only animals as companions... The movie goes deep into human nature, how we live with nature and other life forms, and is comparably profound with the best writing on those subjects. Incredible.

The Sea That Thinks (2000, Netherlands) - About the self, self-reference, meta-(meta-meta-)narrative, consciousness, illusion.. Wonderfully well-constructed.

2 of Kurosawa's: Dersu Uzala (1974), the story of the friendship of a Russian military map-maker and a Siberian hunter. Fascinating encounter of city man and nomadic hunter, two incompatible modes of living. (I think Yoda is based on Dersu, as Star Wars was based on Hidden Fortress) ..and Ikiru (1952), about a boring goverment office worker who learns he's dying and wants to do something meaningful with his life at last.

Series: My favourites are from France (Engrenages, Les hommes de l’ombre, Le Bureau des Légendes, Un Village Français) and Denmark (Borgen, Arvingerne, Herrens veje/Ride Upon the Storm). Maybe Un Village Français gets my top vote, the epic (7 seasons) story of a French village under Nazi occupation - the politicians, Resistance, communists, militia, Nazis, collaborators, Jews, businessmen etc. Unforgettably touching.
Hi, author here:

Well first off: letters to investors are among the most biased pieces of writing in existence.

Second: I'm not saying connectionism did not succeed in many areas! I'm a connectionist by heart! I love connectionism! But that being said there is disconnect between the expectations and reality. And it is huge. And it is particularly visible in autonomous driving. And it is not limited to media or CEO's, but it made its way into top researchers. And that is a dangerous sign, which historically preceded a winter event...
completely overblown..
'understand' isn't true understanding
'recognize and distinguish' is nothing like how humans do it
'helping diagnose diseases' notice they don't say the AI is doing the diagnoses anymore
This is exactly the kind of misinformation being described above.

Why would "traditional" crops going through random mutations be any safer than GMO crops going through highly controlled, highly tested mutations?

It isn't a mysterious process - it's science. It allows us to create products like Golden Rice to alleviate malnutrition and increase crop yields. It's probably the only thing which has helped curtail world hunger in any meaningful capacity.
I'm pretty sure it is for showing your own work, but I wouldn't worry about it. The "Show" label is relatively minor, and this is certainly an interesting project to share!

The old XP that modern "agile" grew out of explicitly reminded adopters that this was, by definition, impossible, but that reality was cast aside when it was found to be too inconvenient.

It may have been cast aside by somebody, but not by agile practitioners. The reason that many managers still oppose agile is precisely because it explicitly rejects the predictability that the traditional waterfall promised.
I would not call it the “AI winter”. If you look at what people have called AI over time, the definition and the approaches have evolved (sometimes drastically) over time.

Instead of being stuck on the fact that deep learning and the current methods seem to have hit a limit I think I am actually excited about the fact that this opens the door for experimenting other approaches that may or may not build on top of what we call AI today.
