More resolution is going to be fine if the pixels are filtered well. If they aren't, that could certainly invite aliasing. Pixel filtering, especially in a scenario like this, is going to have a wide spectrum of techniques that can work to varying degrees, with trade offs of quality and speed.

Not all self driving car programs were created equal. Tesla and Uber have been acting like cowboys from the start. Most of the advanced lane keeping type setups GM supercruise and Nissan Propilot are exposed to similar risk as Autopilot, but excepting the gong show that is Uber, all the other companies developing L4 have a pretty stellar track record.

And, as you mentioned, we need to accumulate billions of test miles before we'll have statistically comprehensive data.
They explain the basics of permisionless blockchains and they go on and say "Prominent blockchain consortia include Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, R3, and Hyperledger", this can confuse people since R3 and Hyperledger are quite different from a permissionless chain with mining, and the value added of such platforms without crypto-currencies is highly debatable in my opinion.
Ask HN: Are most of Redis server really infected?
I stumbled on this article: https://www.imperva.com/blog/2018/06/new-research-shows-75-of-open-redis-servers-infected/ from a security firm that claims that a large number of redis server they scanned where infected. I am seeking for external opinion since I am not knowledgeable on security things. Do you think this is as serious as they say?

You know what, screw globalism. All it does is let capital flow where people can't so unless your capital purchasing power exceeds your future labor output, you're going to lose out to foreign labor.

Hint: that's most of us.
I wonder how important the ritualistic effects end up being. If you get in trouble, for presumably large classes of trouble, you face detention. That's better than suspension or expulsion or something else that could have far-reaching impact. That people then actually show up for detention is also quite remarkable, especially if the threat of missing it or not doing the numbers is just...more detention. The waste of time reinforces the idea of "doing the time" for your crime, afterwards things are square again, like a ritual cleansing. It lets you know you can make mistakes bad enough to get detention, repeatedly even, but you can still come out of it ok in the end.

Don't understand the shorts thing in winter though.
Perhaps it is a natural cycle, but that doesn't mean we have to stop fighting it.

And likewise? Your spirited defense of the status quo also sacrifices innocent lives. Over 30,000 Americans die in traffic accidents each year. Just how much better do autonomous cars need to be in order to be acceptable to test in the real world?

The data and experience gathered from real-world testing should (I'm not saying "will") accelerate the progress to the point you mention - "once their error rate drops below that of a human driver".

Let's look at the Uber case, since everyone infers so much from it. One fatality. One. And the program was immediately shut down. And how did it happen? Engineers had deliberately disabled the automated emergency braking system to reduce "erratic behavior", but had no automated notification to the driver. And the driver was distracted, doing data entry for the test as he was instructed to do. If the emergency braking system had been on, it would have stopped the car on time - they have the data for this.

This sure looks like human error to me.

And that single accident put Uber's program drastically behind schedule, relative to more cautious/thorough competitors. Uber paid a market price for its eager carelessness.
> it's better to pay money and avoid distractions, at least until it's clear that something is actually core to the business.

Sure, but what about avoiding liabilities?
Aliasing happens only when the signal that you are sampling has higher frequencies than what you can represent in your sampled data. So he is absolutely correct here: if the source material has higher resolution, the projection onto the lower resolution display would lead to the same kind of undersampling. Basically, you'd miss in-between pixels and if these have significant content, it becomes very noticeable (e.g. parts of very thin features missing from the image).

Honestly, the changes that Detroit has made in the last 5 years are amazing. The amount of construction in the city has been growing and it's nice to see people actually enjoying themselves in the city. Although there might be some problems with the continuing development of the city, I think for everyday people and the economy, it's going to get a lot better.

The growing diversification of the city's economy is also a high note, with Shinola, Quicken, and many other companies moving to Detroit from the surrounding suburbs, it's good to have your economy not based solely upon the auto industry.

JSX isn't really an abstraction over HTML, it's an abstraction over document.createElement and the other related DOM APIs. I always liked it because that's really what is happening, JS is causing HTML elements to be created via those APIs. We aren't feeding the browser html files for it to parse.

What are you protecting if you're spending all your time protecting it? What are you really scared of?

Sometimes we're using our worries as deflections of a bigger problem or lack we feel in ourselves. Sometimes we think happiness only comes in the way we know and we gotta protect it. But does it really matter in the end? If you don't fear death (and not invite it either), what could haunt you?
What you say is correct for some, but not all people. In FPS games many don't see a huge visual difference between 60Hz and say 140Hz, except for latency.

That's not true for everyone. For me and a few others, there's even a clear difference between 120 and 144 Hz, and to 60Hz it a gulf. A Refresh rate of 60Hz in a high paced, close up, fight becomes a bit of a where's Waldo situation. It's as if my brain stop doing motion estimation because the frames doesn't really fit together, so I kind of stitch together the individual frames and try to guess what next 'slide' is going to show up.

I know there are a few other with the same issue, and anecdotally it might be a trait that occurs with some forms of ADHD/ADHD-PI. But I don't have a good reference on that, only experience and people I've met.
A pixel filter that takes into account the highly nonregular shape of the projected screen pixels and the warped projected video pixels in the source at the same time would be quite an interesting task.
Keyword being "open" redis servers. Redis is not made to be run publicly accessible, and scanning the entire internet for open services is easy nowadays, so yes, if you leave your server freely accessible it probably gets compromised.

>Yes, these vehicles will eventually save lives once their error rate drops below that of a human driver.

Aren't self driving error rates already below human drivers? The fatality rate is extremely skewed by one incident in which the system detected an obstacle but wasn't allowed to stop the car because it was disabled (so... not a failure of the self driving aspect of that system) and another in which a partial self driving system warned a driver repeatedly to take the wheel, but they did not.

In both instances the problem was a failure to force action by the human drivers (or failed reliance on them). In the former case, the system would have braked, in the second, the system should brake instead of asking for help from the driver.

Meanwhile the overall crash rate for self-driving cars is lower, correct?
>If an autonomous car can't read speed limit signs and see stoplights (and doesn't have an up to date on-board map of them), then that system has no business being on the road.

Then you're kind of going against your original comment where you said you wanted self-driving vehicles on the road asap. All you have to do is google: Tesla Speed Sign and you'll find tons of problems and examples of Teslas misreading signs. Here are some examples:

My AP1 car has interpreted a 35 mph sign as an 85 mph sign.

---

My understanding is AP1 visually identifies speed signs, but can screw up (reported that our highway 80 is misread as 80 mph)

---

Addendum: a 45 mph zone, permanently signed (white/black sign large - not orange/black sign small), which by the way AP2 completely ignores. See error-ridden, and in this case an example that creates a safety/financial hazard not present with AP1.

---

And on some highways in the area, especially where there has been recent construction, the speed limit database thinks the speeds are 45 or 50 MPH in sections - when the posted speed limit is supposed to be 60 or 65 MPH. If the car is running under AutoSteer when it hits one of these sections, the car immediately slows down, because AutoSteer won't exceed the speed limit by more than 5 MPH on non-highway roads.

https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/new-car-has-trouble-re...

>(and doesn't have an up to date on-board map of them)

This is also something that doesn't always happen in real life. Here's a quick example just from googling:

The "new" speed limit database distributed last summer (from TomTom?) has numerous areas with missing speed limit data or incorrect speeds (both high and low), which causes issues with AutoSteer. And if this happens while driving at highway speeds, AutoSteer will try to quickly slow down in the middle of high speed traffic. While you can disengage AutoSteer and retake control, the other option is just to temporarily leave AutoSteer/TACC running, and manage the speed yourself until the software sees it's back in an area with the correct speed limit.

>But I'm assuming that low-hanging fruit like reading traffic signs and signals is a solved problem.

You know what they say about assumptions lol.

>Assuming that it isn't a solved problem is kind of irrational.

One, it has nothing to do with rationality. Two, it's actually not a solved problem.

>If your argument is "Well, maybe the car won't see the traffic light it already knows is there", then perhaps your argument isn't very good.

Or maybe the state of self-driving technology isn't actually as advanced as you believe. I'm glad we can agree that these systems have no business being on the road though.

IMO - Any corporate policy or program aimed at changing employees themselves, rather than the work environment and corporate ethos is doomed to failure. I'm all for incentives, but what you really want are engaged employees in the right seat.

That takes a lot of work on the part of management. If your employees know what's expected of them, have the right tools, have a job that fits their skills, knows their employer cares for them and is invested in their professional development, THAT is what makes productive employees. You won't get that from retreats, meditation programs, etc. As a manager, you get this by changing yourself, not those you manage.

Regardless of how deep Facebook's pockets are, I could see another class-action lawsuit taking them on over recruiting its users into becoming uncompensated spokesmen in deepfake ads hocking products to their friends.

Also the legal situation in other jurisdictions may be less friendly to Facebook's usage of this technology, to the point where their deep pockets won't help them. I'm no international lawyer but I think that's definitely a possibility.
> the various debates around web components and shadow DOM isolation get sorted out.

They won’t. jQuery was a much simpler concept and basically a fluent wrapper around a lot of existing APIs.

11 years later none of the browser APIs are not nearly as easy to use or powerful as jQuery. (Did you know that querySelectorAll returns an object that, unlike jQuery, isn’t an array and doesn’t have the same APIs? They added frigging .forEach to it only a few years ago).

Components are a more complex concept. You need data binding, and virtual DOMs (to prevent out-of-order janky updates to the DOM), and templating, and a solution for both global and isolated CSS, and..., and..., and...

These issues won’t be solved in the next 50 years. And that’s the reason no one uses (or talks about) vanilla WebComponents. Everyone is using any of the dozens of wrappers or frameworks on top of them.

Edit: added missing not in not nearly as easy
"We as a society just need to focus on getting out of this local minima that we are stuck in. It is clear to any of us here on HN that autonomous cars will result in fewer deaths, I have no doubts about that whatsoever, humans are statistically terrible drivers."

Getting out of a "local minimum" by definition requires things to get worse before they get better - that's what makes it a local minimum. So it requires faith, which is belief in the absence of clear evidence. Faith is always uncertain, which is why people get strident and appeal to emotion when it is challenged.
Then they run the risk of ostracizing creators. Creators bring viewers to YouTube. In many ways YT is like Pandora. The "product" of YouTube is other people's creativity.

YT is free to block whatever content they want for whatever reason. However, creators will follow the path of least resistance and viewers will follow creators.

Push the creators away and there will be no viewers to show ads to.

I see just enough of landingpages and corporate customers and multilingual to see why most of these frameworks ship with toy features when it comes to the lifecycle of the overall site. Then you end up with two parts (a site in so.e kind of CMS and a compiled SPA) that have to look kind of alike where they can only sort of edit one..

Handlebars is just a general text template language so it was naturaly quite rough. From there one can move to dressing components in the angular style and keep the templates all in one folder and the custom CSS in one file.

My designer and I share the templates folder, I usually add enough attributes for bootstrap to do something or other and then the custom CSS is his and the code is mine.

If we were writing our SPAs for consulting clients it would be essential that the templates and CSS were not compiled so they could go on with them without us and without either paying us to keep a bunch of unstable node tooling able to compile and up to date or feeling like we intentionally snuck a time bomb into the project and are underhanded in seeking hours.
Why not switch to Vimeo, a well-established and stable video hosting platform? There's no advertising and no shenanigans of ads being forced on your video. The hosting is not free, but at least you have control over your videos and privacy issues.

It should be: "do you lose your job, lose your wife/family, BECAUSE YOU continue to play?"

IE, instead of helping your wife do important things, you play a game. Instead of going to bed so you can wake up for work, you play another round, and as a result of not getting enough sleep, your performance suffers. Addiction is basically a mis-prioritization of resources due to abuse of brain chemistry. Worse, it is typically a feedback loop: "She left me, now I am sad, but the game activates my dopamine response, providing some semblance of happiness"
