More relevant in this situation: Mobileye's stated reason for cutting those ties.

>On Wednesday, Mobileye revealed that it ended its relationship with Tesla because "it was pushing the envelope in terms of safety." Mobileye's CTO and co-founder Amnon Shashua told Reuters that the electric vehicle maker was using his company's machine vision sensor system in applications for which it had not been designed.

"No matter how you spin it, (Autopilot) is not designed for that. It is a driver assistance system and not a driverless system," Shashua said.

Speculation among my Taiwanese friends is that the "brain drain" rumor is raw propaganda from the PRC government.

Very few Taiwanese people would give up the freedoms they have in Taiwan for a move to China, just because they might get paid more. There probably should be a (unbiased) study done, but it does not match my experience.

Taiwan does get shitloads of Chinese people coming in to work, though.

Taiwanese salaries are substantially lower, yes, especially for Taiwanese. Furthermore, they have an unhealthy, ineffective work culture reminiscent of Japan. These issues need to be worked out and it is a long term plan of mine to tackle this head on and very publicly when I start a business there.

For expats, there's no need to participate in this work culture if you don't work at a majority Taiwanese company, and if you do work at such a company, you can simply annoy your coworkers by leaving at 5, you most likely won't be fired over it but will need to withstand peer pressure. Visibly Asian-heritage expats will experience this even more.

The best case scenario is the one we're discussing in the main thread - expat working internationally, but remote.
> but is surely not intentional; I would call it a design flaw.

In fact, it is intentional! Meaning that the system has a performance specification that permits failure-to-recognize-lanes-correctly in some cases. This element of the design relies on the human operator to resolve. Once the human recognizes the problem, either they disengage the autopilot or engage the brakes/overpower the steering.

Now, you could argue that the design should be improved and I would agree. But we should perhaps step back and consider some meta-problems here. As others have stated, the functionality cannot deviate significantly from previous expectations without at a bare minimum an operator alert, training pamphlet or disclaimer form. Tesla's design verification likely should be augmented to more comprehensively test real-world scenarios like this.

But the real core issue is that the design approaches this uncanny valley of performing so terribly close to parity with human drivers that human drivers let their guard down. IMO it's the same problem as the fatality in Phoenix w/an Uber safety driver (human driver). When GOOG's self driving program first monitored their safety drivers they found that they didn't pay attention, or slept in the car. IIRC they added a second safety driver to try to mitigate that problem.
Also once the AI decides you committed a crime, you are denied the right to vote to voice a desire to change those unfair laws.
To make that argument it's necessary to compare against other free DBMS implementations. MySQL and MongoDB lead the pack against other FOSS products and have for quite some time. (That's quite different from saying that they are well-suited for a particular purpose, which is a different matter entirely.)

I find it so strange that <100% of Americans are not for everyone having healthcare in a system that doesn't potentially bankrupt a person. It just seems so strange.
I took an easy major to get a high gpa as I was trying to get into the military through ROTC and they care about your grade not your major. Then Obama got voted in on a platform of winding down the war, the ROTC detachments were told they could contract half as many people as they expected before the new president was even sworn in, and I got cut to graduate right after the recession with no real skills.

With the benefit of hindsight I could have done much better for myself,but I would not expect someone at that age to have the foresight to prepare for just how fucked your life plans can get
I've considered something like that, but instead of trying to figure out crimes, it would produce a score for bills.

A corruption score for bills, almost like a facebook for bills "This bill is friends with Exxon". It would figure out who spent the most getting the bill passed, and who they bought off to get it.

Just a simple thing for people to point to when they say things are corrupt. Granted in today's environment, that score would be 100% most of the time, but it would be interesting to have some idea just who bought the bill.

This isn't an issue specific to Tesla as all automakers are now making cars that are more and more dependent on software. So what is the right way to handle these updates? You mentioned a clear flaw with OTA updates, but there are also numerous advantages. For example, the recent Tesla brake software issue was fixed with an OTA update. That immediately made cars safer. Toyota had a similar problem a few years ago and did a voluntary recall. That means many of those cars with buggy brake systems were on the road for years after a potential fix was available and were driven for billions of potentially unsafe miles.
In one of Neil Stephenson's books he mentions that in the 19th ( ? ) century, people who performed (manual) calculation where called "computers".

But why would it speed up beyond the speed limit?
Correct, and it's location dependent. Typically, there are no fees associated with these accounts. Many have multiple accounts at the same institution, or spread. From my minimal research, it seems you should be able to say, have 25K in each Consumers Credit Union, and Heritage bank, and effectively earn about 4% on $50k (NOTE: I'm not endorsing either of these institutions, do your own research). Though with requirements attached for each, which may or may not be worth the opportunity cost to you. The 1.6-1.7% rate seems to be the going best for no requirements involved.

Absolutely it could - that would all be factored into the percentage. Human behavior and chance encounters are the exact reason you could never say 0% or 100%, however.
Future of GitHub's Atom Editor
(Of course this anecdotal) I see no correlation which source code control software.

What I think is key for open source is the quality of internet access we have these days. You can copy any repo without really thinking about it.

The other aspect is that open source is extremely mainstream. Mobile is still a reflection of the old world where everybody tries to make a small amount of money which some closed source apps.

Lots of people realize that is it is better to collaborate with other people in an open source project then to be on your own writing your own programs.

All of that would work just as well on SVN.

Without numbers in front of me, I'd guess that most of Colorado is not trees and mountains. Plains on one side, desert on the other. Plenty of room to put up panels and not remove a single tree.
Well it sounds like you got really unlucky.

It is not your fault, and it sucks. But the fact of the matter is that ~MOST people don't end up in as unlucky of a situation as you ended up with.

Your unluckyness is the exception, and not the rule, and the vast majority of people don't end up in horrible, life-changing medical situations.
Yes, I don't think it's one size fits all by any means. It sounds like any company you work for needs to have real world team interaction as part of the day to day. Nothing wrong with that!
Which is why I said confirmation bias.

Sometimes your confirmation bias is correct; sometimes it isn't.

I'd be pro UBI, but I've never seen the math where it works without violating one of: 1) insane tax rates that traditionally kill economies, 2) lower benefits for those most in need, or 3) simply wanting richer to hand money to poorer so they can not work much.

As such, I'm much more in favor of targeted assistance to make the most use out of limited resources.

And every one I've looked into will suffer from terrible inflation, probably defeating any gains. For example, if a person is willing to work a crap job to pay rent, this will not change no matter the money scaling. Give enough free money, then rents will simply rise (along with all other things for the same reason), to absorb the excess, and the same people will still end having to do the same work to keep their standard of living.

Free money is almost always inflated away by markets.
Yea, I think the 48 hr sleep deprivation is not applicable to most people. The task also is a kind of "vigilance" task. I don't know if it applies to any kind of productive thinking. They also studied chronic sleep deprivation, maybe that would be helpful for people.

It is illegal to force a drug on your employees. IANAL, but that would go badly. That doesn't mean they can't have it available on tap, which is how they tend to do it. Lots of companies make free coffee available to their employees.

Relatedly, what I don't get is how everyone is so excited about many-user FaceTime. I'm just glad they finally brought it back.

Back in 2008 or 2009, all of team reddit used iChat AV to have a video meeting, and one of us was in California, one in Boston, and two in Australia. And it worked flawlessly. And it worked on Windows!

FaceTime still hasn't caught up to Apple's own discontinued product ten years later.

In your first response you seemed to be indicating that the lives of the poor would just be worse if we removed welfare. If that were the case, then welfare is not subsidizing shareholders.

Now you're saying that if welfare is removed employers would be forced to raise wages or go out of business. If that's true, then yes, welfare is subsidizing shareholders. Given that belief, do you support removing welfare programs so that we (society) can stop subsidizing shareholders?
Well, I guess you can take that position.

I take the position that what the media reports isn't true, or at least it's some sort of propaganda and I look for who's benefiting from the information, unless I see evidence to the contrary.

Yes, bellman equation fundamental idea for all RL algorithms (i.e. updating table of values), but RL is also much more fragile than supervised learning methods, thus to ensure stability, modern algorithms have complex mathematical tools to fix that. I wouldn't say it's the math notations that's scary, rather the concept behind modern algorithms require higher mathematical concepts. For example, Max Entropy algorithm for inverse RL, it's essential to know the concepts of Shannon information entropy to understand why it works.
Teslas on autopilot have collided with many stationary objects that were partially blocking a lane. Known incidents include a street sweeper at the left edge of a highway (China, fatal, video available), a construction barrier in the US (video), a fire truck in the SF bay area (press coverage), a stalled car in Germany (video), a crossing semitrailer (NTSB investigation), and last month, a fire company truck in Utah.

You've simply imagined this: "likely C# devs whose careers are aligned with the success of Microsoft". Once you frame it that way, it sounds terrible, but there's no evidence for it and the data I looked at doesn't support it. Your question "why do you allow it" has a similar framing. The answer is that we don't allow it.

The much more common case is that users don't want to see things that are clearly off topic for HN, such as teacup internet dramas. As I explained above, the overwhelming verdict of HN users is that there's nothing serious in this story. If they thought otherwise, it would certainly be on HN's front page. That's the flagging system working as intended.
Nat is being really smart here. It should not backfire unless he acts pedantic or insults Redditors intelligence. I think that both are unlikely.

>This isn't an issue specific to Tesla as all automakers are now making cars that are more and more dependent on software.

Cars have been dependent on software for a long time (literally decades). This isn't something new. Even combustion engine cars have had software inside of them that controls the operation of the engine, and this software is vigorously tested for safety issues (because most car manufacturers understand a fault with such software could result in someone's death). Tesla seems to be the only major car manufacturer that has a problem with this.

>So what is the right way to handle these updates?

The way that other vehicle manufacturers (car, airplane, etc) have been doing it for decades is a pretty good way.

>You mentioned a clear flaw with OTA updates, but there are also numerous advantages. For example, the recent Tesla brake software issue was fixed with an OTA update. That immediately made cars safer.

There is no evidence that said OTA update made Tesla cars any safer. There is evidence that similar OTA updates have made Tesla cars more unsafe.

The brake OTA that you mentioned has actually potentially done more harm than good. Tesla owners have been reporting that the same update made unexpected changes to the way their cars handle/accelerate in addition to the change in braking distance. These were forced, unpredictable changes that were introduced without warning. When you're driving a 2 ton vehicle at 70mph, being able to know exactly how your car will react in all situations, including how fast it accelerates, how well it handles, how fast it brakes, and how the autopilot will act is crucial to maintaining safety. Tesla messing with those parameters without warning is a detriment to safety, not an advantage.

No. It means your business is to provide a proxy service, and not to monitor what users do with it. Trust has nothing to do with anything.

Tesla might not be advertising L5, but they're certainly claiming that Autopilot is safer than human drivers right now.
