That is my interpretation, yes. "Fully self-driving features" means the car is self-driving at least some of the time. So a fully autonomous mode that's only active on the highway in good weather counts, but not modes where the human still has to pay attention, or features that only support but do not actually enable full autonomy at least some of the time.

Even limited full-autonomy seems totally out of the reach of Tesla given what we know to date.
This got me thinking maybe it can be used for indexing from 0 - 128 for indexed addressing modes and that begs the question are the indexed addressing signed or unsigned? Apparently they are unsigned, so the trick might be possible:

You can't taste food poisoning. Go smell a fresh chicken. It smells like chicken, even if it's riddled with campylobacter or salmonella.
I think of MVNOs being downmarket.

For instance, with Tracfone you can get a prepaid "dumbphone" for about $100 a year. That's about what a government subsidy for low-income people would pay.

Even though Republicans would like to make you go to the carrier to get a subsidized phone. Carriers don't like it because they don't want their customers to know they could get cheaper plans. So Verizon's attitude is that "Tracfone is our prepaid service" and that's a not a bad answer because TF is serious about what it does.

It's not to say that an upmarket MVNO is impossible, but I don't see the point of an upmarket brand like iPhone being connected with a downmarket service.
More specifically xor 2 initially hidden integers and mod X + 1 gives you a random number from 1 to X.

PS: Adding numbers mod X will provide a fair random number as long as at least one side provides a fair random number to start with. Which is a stronger guarantee if your making a real money wager.

I think of it in the following analogy. Democracy is continuous garbage collection. It is messy and inefficient, sometimes unpredictable for the efficiency nuts. Authoritarianism is manually-managed pointer references. Efficient and very predictable at first. Once the complexity gradient rises above a certain level though...

I'm worried he's talking about going from what the NHTSA calls level 2 to level 3 autonomy[1], where the car is capable of navigating all the way to the destination but the driver has to remain alert for potential dangerous situations. That's probably an even worse idea in terms of people actually complying than the existing level 2 autonomy and I think Waymo is absolutely right in trying to skip straight to level 4/5 autonomy where you don't need a human paying constant attention.

Being an anything is not only about fluid intelligence. Intelligence, while helpful, is not a good indicator of any metric of success or competence. High childhood intelligence levels are in fact associated with below average adult outcomes - turns out intelligence is paid for with tenacity. Tenacity trumps intelligence as a predictor of adult success.
> My suburbia neighborhood there were people who wanted to share books with people freely in a small mailbox near the curb, like a mini-library.

Hah. There are hundreds, probably thousands of these all over northwest Seattle. They're called "little free libraries" or something. I don't really see the appeal and have only seen one family checking out the contents of a little library (ever). But as things go, it's harmless.
Some people mop the floors every day. Other people don't do that every day. Can we say whose decision is wrong?
Exactly! It is absurd how people hear Elon Musk say, "we will begin to enable full self-driving features..." and then conclude that Elon Musk was talking about full self-driving features. They are all just Tesla haters!

That's great, and I'd be happy to pay to ensure more data is collected about me. I'm sure this will become extremely popular in the future. In the meantime, I'm doing it myself (Quantified Self).

> Moreover, older cars -- which relied on carburetors as a crucial engine component -- did need to warm up to work well, according to several auto industry experts. Without warming up, the carburetor would not necessarily be able to get the right mix of air and fuel in the engine -- and the car might stall out. During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, however, the auto industry did away with carburetors in favor of electronic fuel injection
I've done this a few times. No big deal other than, well, it costs more money.
The interesting thing about this is that all the logic happens onchain. This is why OP mentions that this is the first truly decentralized bet of this kind, because everything is happening on top of the Bcash decentralized protocol.

TL;DR: A very simple smart contract running on the Bcash network.

Whether or not rayiner is correct in his interpretation, I think it's pretty clear his interpretation is not an outlandish one. By that I mean many other people in the general public will share his interpretation, and unlike rayiner many of those people will be blissfully unaware of the problems with automation Tesla has been having.

What this means is that a large number of people are going to be deceived by statements like this from Musk, even if you think what Musk is saying is technically true, because they interpreted/misinterpreted Musk's statement the same way rayiner did.

> Except that Islamic culture drew heavily on them too, especially the Greeks.

Most of the reason Europe was able to even have access to Greek works was due to Arabic translations, in many cases the originals do not exist anymore.

While in Europe the barbarians were ravaging the remains of the Roman Empire and entering into feudalism and the 'dark ages', Hindu and Greek works were being studied and improved in the Arab world (e.g. Algebra, Algorythm words coming from Arabic works).

These later would be brought to Europe via trade with italian city states and copied by the church.

Thanks very much for the recommendation, I've been looking for a factual treatment of something like this.

For a philosophical defense of something similar, you might be interested in capabilitarianism. Crudely put, it's a version of utilitarianism which argues utility arises not just from happiness and lack of pain, but from capacity - the ability to plan and act and change the world as we desire. Capability and purpose aren't the same, of course, but it certainly looks like the first is a condition of the second - without some amount of agency, purpose tends to be nonexistent or painful unreachable.

The general idea that intent and action must be combined with happiness fits my intuitions nicely, and provides an elegant answer to issues like wireheading. Rather than adding some complex epicycle, we can simply observe that maximizing happiness in that way surrenders too much purpose.

6 must-reads for building a better relationship with your phone
I'm familiar with this narrative, I'm saying that the evidence in the article, though the article is written by someone sympathetic to this point of view, contradicts it. The PE firms, despite their huge fees, lost a boatload of money. No one wanted to buy the business out of bankruptcy for more than it was worth piecemeal. There are easily identifiable reasons (Walmart, Amazon) why the competitive landscape is much tougher than when it was a profitable business. It sounds to me like the PE firms did a lot of harm by keeping the company from bankruptcy for so long.

In general, if a business is clearly profitable it should continue no matter how thoroughly you screw up the capital structure: the worst case is a bankruptcy in which the shareholders get nothing, the debt holders get very little, and a new capital structure gets created. When this doesn't happen, it's because the business is worthless or nearly so.
Or the people with whom you share a social graph. The friend of yours that's also friends with a known local drug dealer who in turn just happens to have cartel connections, even though you had no idea and have never even experimented with legal pharmaceuticals. Or the aunt that was once a part of a political rally that showed real possibility of overthrowing the government. Or the brother that's showing signs of mental instability on social media that everyone has missed - "he was such a good kid, none of us saw it coming." but the data predicted it; and that innocent vacation your family took to Egypt last year, a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Giza plateau suddenly looks a whole lot more sinister - suddenly your whole family is questioned as being terrorists and the witch hunt has begun. You lose your business, your jobs, the community you loved.

Even the most innocent of data can be misconstrued and turned against you.

ReadMe (YC W15) is hiring an API-loving Enterprise Customer Success Manager
I know this is America, but from a conceptual standpoint, my natural reaction to that is to think that Internet access should be an infrastructure maintained by the state. It solves the practical problem of multiple companies wanting to dig the same holes to put the same pipes; solves the liberal problem of forcing companies to comply with an arbitrary way to pursue business; solves the problem of neutrality since by virtue of freedom a state-maintained Internet would be neutral.

It raises the problem of the state controlling Internet. But 1. They already can pass laws to outlaw some parts of the Internet if they want to and 2. ISPs are so big I'm not sure them controlling Internet is more reassuring.

This is just a suggestion. I didn't process all the implications.

This is not really an opinion question. It is intended to test the basic understanding of what idempotence is, not whether it is a good idea to use and in what situations.

"Useful" doesn't mean "preferred over other alternatives". You're overthinking the test due to having more advanced qualifications.

Idempotence, as you know, allows operations to be retried without the maintenance of state to detect duplicate operation, and so the correct answer is simply B.

A is somewhat of a distractor since use of idempotent API's is possibly relevant in building scalable systems. Idempotence isn't the cornerstone of scalability, though.

C is nonsense; and D is opposite: idempotence allows clients to freely send duplicate API requests. Prevention or detection of duplicates is required when idempotence doesn't hold.

I don't see the point of including E; only a complete moron would not guess among the other answers to have a chance at being right. Very odd to see "I don't know" in a multiple choice test.

You also get up to two dynamically stylable colors in SVGs without using CSS variables, with wider browser support. If you remove the 'fill' style entirely from the first path in your example, and set the second path's fill to 'currentColor', you can then adjust those path colors such as:

That is like saying we shouldn't have checks on a president's power because they might be a good dictator. In the long run preventing ISP's abuses is going to be more beneficial than "beneficial" infringements on NN. Imho ISPs shouldnt have the power to determine which companies qualify for unlimited data streaming even if they aren't using that power to shut down competitors (yet)
A Star Trek ideal would be nice but I don't see it happening. Government is just too slow and inefficient to provide such things effectively. Food is a necessity, but you don't have to look that far back in history to find a government trying to provide that for its people and see the problems. For one of the worst cases of this ever, take a look at the Great Leap Forward in China. Millions died from famine.

I'm starting to wonder if this is just a fundamental weakness of open source software.

Compare with a commercial platform, such as .NET or Cocoa - there you've got more "batteries included" libraries, with relatively large, standardized packages that have short dependency trees, being maintained by people who are paid to pay attention to these sorts of details.

This isn't to say that commercial software is bug-free - far from it. If something passes code review, it's not going to be looked at again until someone's being paid to look at it again. Which gets you to a similar place as with open source: Software is buggy.

Mostly, though, it leaves me thinking that the whole ideal of, "It's open source, so you can assume many eyes are looking at it," is a pipe dream. Probably the bystander effect is closer to the truth: If it's a small project, I'm relatively likely to at least cursorily look over the code before taking a dependency on it. If it's a big project, though, I just assume someone else is doing that. Just like everyone else.

If it's a big project taking dependencies on small projects, though, that seems to be the worst situation. Nobody can make sense of that.
Yeah... I don't see anyway for the study that 'more white' (or whatever the card color was) wasn't what the bees learned. Particularly since this is the actual correlation. "Howard trained one group of bees to understand that sugar water would always be located under the card with the least number of symbols."

>Food regulations are for health.

Some of them maybe, but like with almost all regulations today they have been expanded far far far beyond what is needed just for public safety.

I will need to see if I can find the story again, but I remember a video outlining how the government health inspectors shut down a cheese making outfit because it did not comply with health codes due to the process, and when they switch to the "approved" method the cheese ended up being harmful to eat where it was not under the original process that was not allowed by government.

Further the regulations on feeding homeless are just a method to shut down charity because the city does not want homeless people in their town, these charities keep them around so if they shut down the charities feeding them the city believes the homeless will move on... (or die they don't really care as long as they do not have to see them)

As a cyclist, I'd be interested in such a technology too.

Unfortunately, despite the lip service many US cities give to cyclists, when it comes to practical issues like road quality, cities tend to not care. Here in Austin there are quite a few bike lanes/cycletracks that are so bad that I refuse to use them. Usually it's a combination of poor visibility of cyclists in the lane (making being hit by turning drivers more likely) and poor road quality (e.g., chip seal resulting in some of these lanes basically being gravel). I've seen it claimed that the city regularly cleans out this gravely, but I can only recall a few times over the past 5 years when I thought the gravel might have been removed. I don't need machine learning to tell me to avoid these roads, but the potholes would be helpful.

I know they disagree with me, they have multiple reasons to bury their heads in the sand. Admitting they were wrong would be a PR disaster, it would probably hurt Elon's ego, and a recall to retrofit LIDAR would probably be extremely costly.

But if you talk with the leading experts in the field of car automation, the research groups who are actually making it work to some degree today, they are all using LIDAR. Furthermore you have people like the CTO of Mobileye saying that Tesla was trying to push Mobileye's tech beyond what it's capable of (past tense was, because Mobileye apparently dropped Tesla over this, prompting Tesla to develop their own presumably equivalent non-LIDAR solution in house): https://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/09/tesla-dropped-by-mobile...

“Zero” is a very different concept from “none.”

Human civilization had a word for “nothing” / “none” / “not any” for as long as we’ve had language. “None” is something chimps can understand easily. Etc.

But zero—that is a counting number. Numbers themselves are a very abstract technique that required specific situations (shepherds counting sheep, etc.) to invent. And zero came much later still.

Which is to say: sum types are easy. Types with null values are hard ;)

I would bet that these bees aren’t so much reading this data as “zero”, but rather “presence/absence”, where absence is okay and presence is bad. (It’s not like they first had to do a task that trained them to find the card with a three, after all.)
