I don't think the goal should be seen as perfect driving, and that is likely impossible in any case. You can take the most extreme scenario that AI or human can possibly successfully overcome, and then make it just slightly more challenging to induce failure. You'll always be able to 'break' a driver's ability to correctly respond whether they're human or AI. So the goal, to start, should simply be to overcome humans on average. If a human will end up in a fatal crash every x 'average' miles, then an AI is a success if gets into fatal crashes at an average rate less than x.

Hi all, this has been my pet project over the weekend that I wanted to share. I imagine there are several alternatives to my utility; however, I couldn't find any with a cursory Google search and decided to write my own. I appreciate any/all feedback I can get!
Then it shouldn't be a problem at all. The power companies will simply veer towards solar if it's cheaper.
Well, if you drag-and-drop a file things might be somewhat problematic due to the sandboxing. An app with no access to the file can't read the dropped filename.
Yea, mainters also modify X-sofware, backport it, compile with different than tested compilation flags, remove patches they don't like, don't upgrade software for years or decades. Remember the time xscreensaver author asked Debian to remove it from their distro, added warning in GUI saying

_("Warning:\n\n"
"This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!\n"
"Please upgrade!\n"
"\n"
"http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/\n"
"\n"
"(If this is the latest version that your distro ships, then\n"
"your distro is doing you a disservice. Build from source.)\n"
),

YES, THAT WHAT USERS WOULD SEE, if only Debian maintainer haven't removed this patch.

> Can't each distro just set up their own maintained repository?

Yes Fedora is working on doing so.
I think we can assume that it's within 1 hour of being reported, not uploaded, since there's no way to guarantee everything that's uploaded is fully checked, even with a staff large enough to look at it all and make decisions more than a few seconds long.

But that problem also basically exists for smaller sites under the "1 hour after reported" rule, too. IMO, it would basically force them to hide anything that was reported immediately, and then restore it after it was moderated.

That will make it horrifyingly easy for internet trolls to mess with things.

As a 13-year-old native English speaker when I first heard the song (around the time it came out), I certainly misinterpreted it. But then, as a kid growing up in a fairly conservative evangelical Christian environment, I wasn't inclined to interpret mainstream pop songs charitably. And those minor chords helped to make it seem dark.

When something is currently operating, just saying it can't work because of "technical obstacles" is bound to seem like a drive-by comment. The same with saying "there be dragons."

I'm genuinely interested--so can we enumerate some dragons? Can you elaborate?
D. We want to make our own distro because we finally got this gigantic mess of independently designed and developed software to almost kind of work the way we want it to, and now we have to maintain it that way because it was so much work to get here.
Very true.

The over-exuberant business version of this is money-men types who see companies as a collection of investments and cash flows. This leads them to think of business problems in "resource allocation" terms. If company X's is bad at UI, customer service or whatnot than this will be fixed by "investing" more in it.

Here they see a big juicy prize: first to market with self driving taxis. They understand that it's risky but they still assume a very strong correlation between the amount of money going in, and the probability of their big juicy prize coming out.

The whole approach is a bad idea in new technology. Instead of thinking in expiremental, creative-discovery terms, they have a very precise destination and they try to brute force a way to that destination with money.
Not sure about that. The regime seems to tick along with next to nothing. Pushing that to literally nothing might not make much difference. They would just move from 95% blackmarket to 100.
Of all the books I recommend for junior/intermediate developers, this is the one I demand they read. I wish the the free online version was still available, but it doesn't appear to have survived O'Reilly's switch to the subscription model.
Well, legally speaking you can't. Anything but boilerplate ToS or agreement terms would be thrown out in any sensible court. And folks do read them at times and click "I don't want tracking".

This is mostly a sovled problem on Linux. Hell even slackware has this

I will concede there is a lot of Linux users out there either misinformed or simply don't mind the hassle of upgrading via random curl scripts if at all.

Maybe it will help them? Maybe it will just increase the target size making exploitation more worthwhile / likely?

Who knows.

For me, if it's not in the Arch repos (or aur) I'm incredibly unlikely to install it, to the point I don't actually have any software installed out of band other than stuff I specifically work on.

I will briefly add that Indonesian food is massively popular in the Netherlands ("East Indies" being a former colony). Rijstaffel [1] -- literally, "rice table" -- is a national specialty that is celebrated by the Dutch, although I will admit that the history of the meal is rooted in that former colonialism.

It seems to me that the easiest way for a Germany to cut on energy needs is simply by having less people live there. I expect they would have been at negative population growth without shipping in a scad of people.

Somebody should really write an article on the sad state of Android unlocking / rooting. There are countless reasons to unlock and root your phone: DNS, bloat, doing a full backup (TWRP doesn't work without root)... Unfortunately, it seems Android is rapidly catching up with iOS, where jailbreaking is mostly just a thing of the past.

1 hours is an extremely unrealistic timeline to remove or taken down content. This specially is externally hard because lot of social networks depend on people reporting something and then an action is taken. To add complexity there can be foreign language at play as well which people might get scared off even without knowing what it is.
Did you read the article?

The author cites several published cases asking for just this, including in the Washington Post.
Purely distributed teams are great if all processes are designed for that. But most companies don't do it right. In my company we augment the US team with Indian devs and it really sucks royally. Most decisions are still made in meetings so the Indians don't know what's going on. The 12 hour time difference requires either that the Indians stay up late or come in early or the US workers have to do it which sucks if you have a life outside of work. Resolving even little issues takes too long because round trip time between question and answer is often several days. We also never travel to India so we don't know the people personally and don't know how they are set up.

The way a lot of companies go about with distributed teams is the same they do with agile. Management picks a few artifacts (daily standups, detailed backlog) but most other structures stay in place so the result is highly dysfunctional.

One problem I can see is that they're trying to implement autonomous cars too fast, and secondarily they're trying to replace Uber X with them. If they treated auto-cars the same way they treated Uber Black, and make it a more luxury choice with a higher price, they could slowly implement this into their business over time, one car at a time. I personally would pay more for an auto-car. But the big crux is your first point, and the solution in my mind is for them to just be way way slower and ensure full safety precautions. I don't think they have to dismantle the division nor do I think autonomous cars are out of the realm of possibility.

Anything related to RedHead developers doing anything that is 'disrupting' or 'different' can unleash a shitstrom and lots of trolling.
I think this pipeline already exists via open source software. Unskilled people are by default allowed to try contributing. As soon as they are actually capable of doing so, they can move up the ranks by getting hired somewhere.

You're not considering why the AI turns it over the human. It's rarely about some crazy imminent emergency where if the human doesn't respond instantly and with super-human reflexes, it's all over.

In reality it's mostly just the AI expected one thing, and observed another - so something's not working right and it seeks a disengagement. California requires companies to quantify disengagements and most go a step further and specify the reason for the disengagement. I think the reason for this is precisely because of your intuition -- thinking that disengagement means imminent danger. Even for companies with relatively large numbers of disengagements, there were generally 0 that involved any danger whatsoever.
Or you’d have to not have walked around downtown SF lately. It’s a rare day where I don’t see multiple self-driving cars.

Ask HN: Software development after 40, how do you keep the fire?
Experience is a nice thing, most of the time. We can see through the BS and concentrate on important things to make up for a slower brain, less stamina and decreasing memory, to a point where I think I am as productive, maybe even more, than I was 20 years ago.

The negative consequence of experience though, in my case, is I'm less excited about new ideas, more skeptic in general, which makes it more difficult to find the motivation that is needed to build something really significant.

And I mean, it's not very surprising, if you haven't made it big at 40+, that means you worked on a lot of failed projects, that makes it harder to believe you can change that.

Maybe some older folks here on HN, but younger people comments welcome too of course, could share their point of view on that question?
The tone of the comments on news like this never fails to disappoint me. Sigh.

The Snap store so vastly improves my user experience of using common apps I switched from Arch Linux (where 50% of the programs I had installed came from the AUR) to Ubuntu, where everything I needed was just there. No longer do I need to run weird scripts from the internet to get simple stuff to run on my non-standard distro (which could be Arch, Fedora, or whatever I am running at the time).

You can hold the position that these things are a big security risk. Distributing monolithic packages with likely old/vulnerable dependencies is not a great idea. But on the other hand, it prevents asking the user to run random scripts (which in many cases are not vendor provided) as root to get their software, and it gives the user integrated automatic updates and other software center integration (as opposed to downloading random stuff from the internet). In terms of increased security through sheer usability and requiring less manual maintenance, the advantages of Snaps and Flatpak add up, I think. Many things in security are a tradeoff, and I feel that getting the user to do the right thing is often extremely undervalued. I think it is also undervalued in these comments.

Flatpak and Snaps still have a lot of problems. Why do we have two competing standards? Why can't I properly get all Snaps running on Fedora or other platforms that use SELinux [rhetorical question - I know the technical reasons]? Why do so many apps not use their sandboxing effectively? Why is it so hard for these things to respect my computer's theme? The list goes on.

The list of problems is long and valid. But I think it's worthy of some celebration that advancements are being made in making desktop Linux usable for users and popular for developers. And I don't think it's clear at all that this is a regression in terms of security.
it was easy to compile them on Sun

The Sun machines were much more common and a lot of software was tested/built on SunOS.
In theory. In practice, there are a lot of ways to abuse that, for example by establishing a high entry barrier. The reality is always much more nuanced than ideologies.
Canonical has a marketing team and outreach. Flatpak doesn't.

Also the Snap store allows a larger range of software (WINE repackages, server apps, duplicates, etc) that Flathub does not. Flathub is also hand reviewed so it takes a bit longer for new apps to get in.
The title deceivingly hides the word "gambling" and tries to make it sound like Apple censoring free press or something similar for the Chinese government.

I dont know about HP before the late 90s, but I have been working in some form of tech for 15 years now, and I have developed an aversion to any HP product. Seeing that logo fills me with dread and anxiety. Early on it was dealing with printer drivers, and explaining to users that you don't need the full install to use the device. Then it was painfully navigating HPSM. Then test driving the HP Stackable Switches which we bricked on the first attempt to update. Now it's HPNA, which I fear I'm going to be forced by management to port a bunch of scripts to.

I have known many other people in all levels of IT that have felt the same way.
All you do is sit and complain and act like a victim on your twitter account. Your mentality is what’s holding you back. You can’t be blackballed in Silicon Valley. I’ve hired so many people without reference checks and have been hired in the same manner.

Depends on the lock and the method of attack you are using - CFAA violations are usually tied to 18 USC §1030 (4) (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030), which only apply to "protected computer[s]"

A computer is protected (18 USC §1030(e)(2)) in generally one of three circumstances - i) Used exclusively by a financial institution; ii) Used exclusively by the US Gov't; or iii) Affects foreign commerce or communication [usually interpreted to mean connected to the Internet]

Therefore, if you are using a non-internet connected device (i.e. Bluetooth or NFC only), it's unlikely to be a violation of the CFAA.

“Apparently, the government had been training chefs at its culinary training facilities to send abroad for the previous decade, but this project formalized and enhanced these efforts significantly.”
Thanks, that's a really interesting result - especially in the face of countless headlines (with weak supporting data) about the dangers of sitting. I'm curious to see what "adjustment for work variables" means, since that's such an open-ended task.

I'm also fascinated to see: "Cardiovascular risk associated with occupations that involve combinations of sitting, standing, and walking differed for men and women, with these occupations associated with lower cardiovascular risk estimates among men but elevated risk estimates among women."

I would have guessed that mixed position, moderately-active work was drastically better than anything else across all groups. I'd be surprised if the paradoxical gender result holds, normally those imply a weak or confounded effect, but even if it's simply neutral that means my expectations were massively wrong.
I do wonder if WebOS had a chance. There was so much overhead in the UI I’m not sure it would have gotten to the point where performance was good enough before it failed anyway.

Today it wouldn’t be an issue, but in ‘09 or ‘10 it was non-trivial.

Great UI design though. I’m still amazed how long it took for others to steal the card metaphor and some of the other great features. Like the Touchstone. We’re finally living in that world most of a decade later.

Why? I programmed in Lua which also made such choice, and I find it rather inconvenient. Makes you always think if you got your indices right, since in all other programming languages indices start from 0.
That's very untrue. In fact, any site which makes you do that is _violating_ the GDPR - you aren't allowed to have those checkboxes be opt-out.

Besides, that's only one small part of the GDPR, which is much closer to the Data Protection Act modernised for 2018's awful internet than anything else. We did this to ourselves by proving we can't be trusted to self-regulate.
