You could build the external structure and a "floor" (steel plate) for each level, then you could swap out trailers if needed, a vertical trailer park.

Would need some way to get up and down and toilet/water.

Tbh by the time you've done all that you might as well just build a normal modular high rise (that's how the local budget hotel did it, nearly whole thing turned up as a series of containers each prefitted with plumbing and power, then stacked together, hooked up and done, it went up insanely fast).

I did, unimpressive, he doesn't have any relevant data.

My reply to the post though:

Obviously someone shaping stats to their own biases. They want to compare Tesla and Mercedes Benz crash rates because they are in a similar price range?

Mind you he has no data on automated driving crashes.

Ridiculous and short-sighted, the goal (IMO) is for all cars to be automated. And he assumes that just because lidar is expensive now, that it will be in the future, which is just naive.

These cars aren't crashing into stationary objects that don't have a radar return. The software in the cars is deliberately filtering out the radar returns of stationary objects. It wouldn't matter how many radar reflectors you slapped on the barrier, the Tesla would ignore the radar return of the stationary barrier.
The devices used to fabricate the floppy disks were not the same as the devices used by consumers. They had many more capabilities, infamously including the ability to adjust the write head to follow a spiral pattern (instead of concentric circular tracks).
They are just trying to bootstrap their auto sector. China's a couple of decades late in development, so they need to do these kinds of things.

The United States has done the same thing, when it was behind in industrialization to the United Kingdom. Heavy tariffs on foreign goods, in order to prop up its own domestic sector.

Once they get their auto industry together, to the same level of quality as US manufacturers, they won't need that tariff.
I don't get it. What is the downside to waiting to see what happens?

Surely people have local copies of their source code, right? I mean, you basically have to. That's how git works. So the worst case scenario is that Microsoft does something to piss people off and then they switch to another provider. That makes the worst case scenario exactly the same as what people are advocating doing now voluntarily. How, then, is it not more prudent to wait and see what happens?

Autopilot will only be engaged on roads and under conditions that are favorable to autonomous driving, but fatal accidents tend to happen more under unfavorable conditions for human drivers. The non-Tesla numbers also include cars that are smaller, cheaper and less sophisticated, so much more likely to lead to fatal outcomes in crashes. So these numbers are heavily skewed in favor of Tesla. The proper comparison would be waymos performance and they’ve been without a fatal crash afaik. As an alternative you could pull the numbers for cars of similar build on similar roads for human drivers.

The intersection in the Tesla crash is pretty sub par by US standards. Most highway off ramps are as you described. In space restricted areas we tend to use tons of reflectors then water/sand barrels or metal crumple barriers instead of gently rising barriers and a grass infield.

In basically all cases where there's a lot of pavement that isn't a lane there's diagonal lines of some sort that make it very clear that there isn't a lane there. A good chunk of the time there's a rumble strip of some sort.

In rural areas there's less signage, reflectors and barriers but the infield is usually grass, dirt or swampy depending on local climate.

Edit: and I'm wrong because why?

Wrap it up into a simple native app and you can bypass the MMS BS. Even better, a sufficiently capable dev could integrate an opensource recognition library [1] to have it entirely implemented on the device.

If you get an older copy, just don't take the investment advise too seriously—it's pretty out-of-date. Everything else is gold.

In CA traffic (and many other states) driving at the speed limit is likely more dangerous than driving with the flow of traffic (roughly 10 MPH over the limit - sometimes more than that).

One of the options for Autopilot is that you can tell it "Never go more than X MPH over the speed limit" with a common setting being a few miles an hour over.

Transfer learning
>If welfare is removed you are assuming that people's lives would not be worse because _eventually_ companies would be forced to raise their wages. In the short, medium, and even long term if the companies we're done headed enough, people's lives would be worse off because they would lack the welfare _and_ employers would not have adapted wages to the new equilibrium.

This concern could be alleviated by phasing out welfare over time rather than instantaneously removing it. I feel like you dodged the spirit of the question, so I'll ask it again. Ignoring UBI as a possibility, given the world as you understand it today where welfare is a subsidy for shareholders, do you support removing welfare so that we can stop subsidizing the wealthy?

UBI vs welfare doesn't really change the situation here. UBI may be more economically efficient than our current form of welfare, but that's a different discussion altogether. I'm only interested in the question of whether you really believe that welfare as it stands today is a subsidy for shareholders. Because if you believe that, then it seems the rational proposal would be to get rid of welfare.
Is there any proof that the guy who died was using a smartphone at the time of the crash?
I've worked with all of these as well, and npm is probably my least favorite. Above all else, I expect my build system to do ONE THING:

Exactly reproduce a build at a later date

Part of it is technological (npm didn't have package-lock.json until very recently), part of it is organizational (the npm repository is surprisingly fluid), and part of it is cultural (the JS community likes zillions of tiny constantly-changing libraries). The net result is that I cannot walk away from a JS build for three weeks without something breaking. It breaks all the time. UGH.

And relationship success is strongly correlated to economic factors. Bad economic conditions always lead to rises in divorce and crime.
I tend to distinguish "Working as intended" and "Working as implemented."

Working as intended: the system works in a basic average-observer human sense

Working as implemented: there were no errors in implementation, and the system is performing within the tolerances of that implementation (but the implementation itself may be flawed, or may be to a design that violates average human expectations).
Maybe because there is Gitea, a fork of Gogs which is AFAIK more active now.

For the same reason it is surprising that the Chinese government would not let ZTE go under. Without ZTE, Huawei would likely be able to charge higher prices around the world. ZTE's know-how and business relationships can be sold off to other domestic entities. The employees of ZTE will find jobs elsewhere. The failure of ZTE would then set an example to other Chinese companies for being dependent on US suppliers.

If the failure of ZTE is not necessarily a loss to the Chinese government, we can infer that it is not necessarily a gain to the US government, as the gp claimed but using the logic of zero-sum.
The removeLast() function signature would be UntypedCollection (S n) -> UntypedCollection n

(S n) stands for successor of n. (Think of (S n) as n+1)

Given this, you can't call removeLast() on an UntypedCollection Z (empty collection) because the types wouldn't match.

So it's not by magic - the compiler knows the number of elements in the collection, because that value is part of the type. That's the entire point of dependent types - you get to have any value as part of a type.

The part that becomes tiresome very quickly - is convincing the type checker that what you want is valid. You have to provide proofs for the most trivial things (2+1 = 1+2) and the way it is currently achieved, is not programmer friendly.

>most of us Tesla drivers have familiarized themselves with the limitations of the system

You're giving too much credit to the average driver. Just because they're richer than the average driver doesn't mean they're going to be more discerning about the car's advanced features. Addtionally, Tesla still advertising Autopilot as "Full Self-Driving Hardware" is borderline negligence.
I think the strategy is to make the apartment/condo floorpans in units of container shipping dimensions and connect them onsite. The key application appears to be the micro-unit.

It can handle the earthquake zone as one developer describes here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC0fyFtbaQk

It would likely be automated as much as a Tesla car could.

You could probably ship from overseas as I suspect the micro units have similar dimensions as a shipping container. I'd imagine building in the midwest (i.e. Idaho/Nevada factory to support West Coast) would probably be more optimal.

Compare the map in TFA with this map, which I trivially Googled:

It's not a perfect correlation, but to my untrained eye, looking at both maps, it seems to me that red (eg, Republican) states appear to correlate closely with higher suicide states.

But please judge and compare the maps for yourself and form your own opinion.

Yes, the problematic zoning laws exist mainly at the city level. The problem is that the decisions about key areas are being made by people who are incentivized to make housing prices go up (because they own property), which they do by severely restricting construction of dense housing.

I was listening to a Software Engineering Daily podcast with Lex Fridman about self-driving deep learning.
Very interesting topic on ethics of self-driving cars. What he was saying, is that we need to accept the fact that people are going to die following incidents with autonomous vehicles involved. In order for systems to learn how to drive, people will have die. It's more of societal change that is needed. 30,000 people die on the roads in US every year, in order to decrease that number we need self-driving cars even with a price that society as of now can't accept

There’s a huge positive-feedback-loop problem in technology right now that needs to be solved to make projects viable.

Never received even one donation/rating/comment/etc.? Be prepared to wait approximately forever.

Got a few, especially publicly-visible? Suddenly things trickle in faster.

Well-known project with 5000 stars? Here, have more stars. Here, have more donations. Success breeds success.

Meanwhile, wasn’t it shown that crucial infrastructure like SSL had between 1-2 unknown developers? How many other projects are there? How many developers can you name? How many different projects have you donated to? How many “not well known” apps have you balked at paying even $0.99 for?

It’s a problem. There needs to be better ways to vault critical “boring” projects into the well-known category. And, there has to be a way to keep positive feedback loops from ballooning ratings and income for projects simply because they sorted to the top and stayed there.

The problem is it's entirely possible the obstacle detection is un-fixable without swapping out the sensor suite the Tesla ships with. Tesla is quite clearly expecting the problem to be solvable with that sensor suite alone (this is more-or-less the line I was given by a Tesla seller when I was shopping for a car), so it's not going to be in the T-sheet for them to recall every Tesla on the road to fit a LIDAR to them, assuming that's at all feasible.
