Even if it was broad daylight, it still would be unlikely that the driver would have been charged.

Read the section on "duty of care" here:
https://www.jacksonwhitelaw.com/az-personal-injury/auto-pede...

and note that drivers only have a duty of care to yield to pedestrians who have the right of way. Pedestrians jaywalking never have the right of way. They are only allowed to cross at intersections.

Drivers do not have a duty of care to yield to pedestrians who do not have the right of way, although drivers have other duties.

The GPU was actually a RISC CPU, making the Super FX graphics, essentially, software rendering. A planned Super FX game, FX Fighter never made it to the SNES but did see a release on PC using BRender, Argonaut's own software rendering engine.

There was a hobbyist who developed a port of Wolfenstein 3D to the Game Boy Color that worked the aame way: the cartridge embedded an ARM processor that actually ran the game and copied the graphics into the GBC's tile memory for display.

A similar but, imho better piece can be found on https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths. Still, the interesting bits for me in this one were the following:

"Financial innovation is always and in all ways one of two things — a new way of securitizing something or a new way of leveraging something.

"Securitization is a ten-dollar word that means associating something in the real world (a cash flow from a debt, an ownership interest in a company, a deed on a property, a distributed ledger mathematical calculation, etc.) with a piece of paper that can be bought and sold separately from that real world thing. Leverage is a ten-dollar word that means borrowed money.

"That’s it. There’s nothing new under the sun. Finding new ways to trade things (securitization) or new ways to borrow money on things (leverage) is what financial innovation is all about, and there are vast riches awaiting the clever coyotes who can come up with a useful scheme on either. The biggest market disasters happen when both leverage and securitization get mixed up with the same clever scheme."

For learning the above this was worth the read.
I imagine its more bureaucratic complexity than technical. This change would require lots of committee meetings, reviews, meetings, discussions, etc. at my company. It would probably take a year to decide to do it and 5 days to actually do it (Get all IT groups into a large war room, make the change on dev servers and then everyone has to completely test all their apps and sign off on it. Then do it again on staging. Then again on prod. It would probably require a bunch of all nighters. I wish I was joking.)

No, http2 is not better. We actually did the tests. We're not quite Google-scale, but having to handle tens of thousands of requests per second put us in the 'high load' camp.
That's why there's been so much work on reproducible builds.
But I've been wondering, why not make the shitload of money first, and once you've got many years saved, then go off and do a moonshot?

The usual explanation is something about lifestyle and mortgages and children and so on, but whether you earn the money in your 20s and do a moonshot in your 30s, or do the moonshot in your 20s and earn money in your 30s, don't you wind up at the same place either way?

> The driver should not be punished for correctly using a legally purchased vehicle.

So where's the market incentive to bother making the piloting algorithms less killy? Consumers will choose cars that prioritise speed and the safety of the occupants, with no regard for the safety of bystanders.

This all seems to stem from the assumption that the computer just does whatever it wants (shrug), and isn't merely a tool being used by a human programmer who's supposed to be in control of it. That way lies [killbot hellscape](https://xkcd.com/1613/).

As seen on twitter, and I fully agree.

This is the biggest problem in the world, according to YC. As befits the title “moonshot,” it’s the most pressing problem we face. It’s SO HARD that we might not ever fully solve it, but it’s SO IMPORTANT to society that we should fund it anyway.

Your guess is a bad guess. It certainly is for Uber's self-driving vehicles so far.

This isn't a situation where laissez-faire is a good idea. If we want autonomous vehicles to be safer than human drivers then we need to ensure that is the case with proper regulation, audits, standards of testing, and liability.

We who work in the software industry should know better. Yes, you can make software to a very high standard, even high enough to bet your life on it. Is all software made that way? Will software be made that way without some sort of pressure to do so? No, of course not. Every shortcut will be made, technical debt will be piled like cord wood until it reaches the sky. And people will die.

If autonomous vehicle technology is real, and if it can improve on human drivers, then let it be set to that standard from the start.

I'm guessing regex's are beyond Data Scientist [0], but throw sed and vim into the mix and there are very few one off problems that can be managed by a single CPU that you can't do, and what's more do more efficiently than any other tool chain. The overhead of throwing it into a SQL database or whatever is do big, these simple tools simply blow them away is you are doing it just once.

[0] I'm guessing a "Data Scientist" is someone who knows a lot about the data and the scientific domain that created it, and to whom a computer is just a just another hammer you hit the data with. A hammer that someone deliberately made insanely and unnecessarily complex for job security, or something.
Solaris is somewhat satiric, but it's subtle. After that long, encyclopedic summary of solarisist research that spans decades (or is it a whole century? I forget), the protagonist tells us everyone has developed their own theory about Solaris, and every single theory is wrong, because it ultimately reflects the mind of the theorizer. Then, ironically, the protagonist tells us his theory. Lem is deeply cynical here about humankind's ability to understand anything outside themselves. It's a pretty overt critique of modern academia, perhaps especially the soft sciences like psychology and psychiatry. It's not meant to be a very emotional novel, I think. Lem hated the movies, which misinterpreted his intentions and honed in on the love story aspect.

Did you read Lem's His Master's Voice? It goes even beyond Solaris in that way. It's about the infighting, political maneuvering etc. that surround an attempt to decipher what may or may not be an extraterrestrial signal. It's perhaps a bit drier than Solaris, being written as a memoir by one of the scientists involved.

I'd say Lem had two modes of writing. He wrote comic adventure stories like the Pirx stories and The Cyberiad. And he wrote ironic, somewhat cynical or pessimistic criticisms of science, such as Solaris, HMV and The Futurological Congress. The latter is great -- during a scientific conference on the future of human civilization, the drinking water is poisoned with psychedelics drugs, and the main character a future dystopia. It's a short, fun book. Cynical, but fun.

His other novels, such as Eden and Fiasco, reflect this view. He's never struck me as a fan of humankind.

I'm not sure I see much of a Borges connection, other than the fictitious history of Solaris.

Have you read any of the Strugatskys' books? They're like anti-Lem's -- lot more optimistic and unabashedly humanist, I think. Roadside Picnic is a great start, but they wrote a bunch of great novels. Beetle in the Anthill is one of my favorites.
as for Lyft, you choose to get into thst car, I can choose to get into a car or not as well

How far do you want to take this? I accepted the risk of idiot drivers not checking before turning right when I chose to walk to work. I accepted the risk of drunk drivers drifting over the double yellow when I decided to drive to work. That train driver accepted the risk of up-close traumatic experiences when they took the job. Children accept the risk of being driven to school by their parents or walking across the street in the morning to catch the school bus.

I have to get from my apartment to my office every morning. I have to get from my office to my apartment every evening. So what am I supposed to do? I can't walk that far. Biking is just as dangerous as taking a taxi. I have bad knees and public transit only works for me a couple times a week. If I get behind the wheel I'm on the same road as drunk drivers and idiot drivers, and for medical reasons I don't have that option anyway. If I take a lyft or a taxi I'm being driven by some rando off the street. So, what, if I get run over by a fucking drunk driver one night, it's totally my fault, and I accepted that risk by fucking existing? I don't have a choice. I did not accept this risk. This risk was forced on me.

I don't care which risk I'm taking. I don't care which one is being forced on my. I don't care who is forcing it on me. I care about how much risk I am accepting. And so:

deal when we’re talking about unproven technology being developed on our streets

This is the only part of your argument that matters. The rest is an emotional distraction. If you can demonstrate that autonomous vehicles are a greater risk than the alternative, then you get to say that they're dangerous. And I don't think that you can say that. Why do you think that you get to volunteer a decade of people to being run over by drunk drivers and idiots? Because that is what you are doing - autonomous vehicles may be an unproven risk, but humans are such a long-standing and thoroughly proven risk that people have just become inured to it.
I haven't implemented it myself, but here's some example scenarios:

Policy: What is allowed architecturally and what isn't? Are there regulatory requirements? Do you have strict enforcement mechanisms?

Instrumentation: Do you need to watch traffic going over the wire? Will your network filters flag it? Do you have application proxies that route traffic based on payload? How is it going to handle multiplexing if existing solutions don't take it into account? Are you using any proprietary stuff?

QA: Every client, server and intermediary may be using different implementations, and that means bugs. Have you certified all the devices in the chain to make sure they operate correctly? (It doesn't matter, until it really matters)

Operation: Each implementation needs to be upgraded one at a time, so the extent of your technology will determine how long and potentially error-prone all this will be. It will be different for each org, but definitely take a long time for really big ones.

Debouncing just means the UI lock happens slightly less often.

No, it means it happens only after the user stopped typing for a while - a very different experience.

If you don't care, then why bother with auto-updating on keypress at all? Just wait for user to press enter.

Doesn't cover all the cases and you have to update eventually - after the first debounced event goes through is a good moment.

False positive emergency braking seems less dangerous than running over obstacles. Wouldn't the expected accident be a car crashing into the Uber's back? If the false positive rate is so high that the number of such accidents outweighs the lesser risk, then perhaps Uber shouldn't let the cars drive autonomously with that software.
Very common specially now, many companies have popped up which charge competitive rates for development.

Keep in mind, most startups are simply CRUD apps where you don't need much technology.

One thing that many finance majors, courses, and resources often fail to identify is the role that startup and small businesses play in economic growth and actual value creation: jobs, GDP, return on direct capital investment. Most do not succeed, but it is possible to do better than index funds and have far more impact in terms of sustainable investment than as an owner of a nearly-sure-bet index fund that owns some shares and takes a hands-off approach to business management, research, product development, and operations.

Many dashcams do poorly in low light conditions, Uber's footage is not representative of what that section of road actually looks like. Compare it to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XOVxSCG8u0

Additionally, it DOES. NOT MATTER. Whether the section of road was well lit or not. Does not matter. Because the pedestrian was already well into the road when the Uber vehicle hit her. Cars, as many people familiar with them may be aware, have headlights, which are suggested to be used while driving at night. If you can't stop fast enough to avoid hitting something at the farthest limits of your headlights, then you are driving too fast for conditions, whether a human or computer is driving. As I said, this isn't the case because the dashcam footage is deceiving, but even if it were accurate, it is immaterial for this particular case.
I suppose perfect emergency braking avoids hitting all objects that are visible to the sensors sufficiently early, and hits objects with the minimum possible speed if they become visible too late, while never having a false positive.

Respectfully disagree.

One, it normalizes truly radical engineering projects (look higher in the thread to see building an artificial kidney). If YC signals it sees a jet bike as acceptable, imagine all of the ideas that seem just a bit too crazy that become possible.

Two, toys are generally the first or second version of truly radical technologies. Compared to a motorcycle, yes this looks extremely dangerous. Compared to a helicopter - down right low risk.
I guess worse, as avgas has higher lead content and contaminates more. However, they have room to experiment with different types of propellants and engines.

Aren't driving instructors supposed to do pretty much that? Supervise an imperfect driver and take control quickly if the situation requires it?
People can die from rear-end collisions as well, though. It's possible that Uber did the calculations based on the rates of each occurrence and concluded it would be more likely for a fatality to occur from a false positive emergency brake than from running over an obstacle.

Personally, I doubt that they really considered that; I believe that their software was rushed, flawed, and totally not ready for real-world driving. But I don't think it's a certainty that false positive emergency braking is always better than running over obstacles, especially if "running over obstacles" is determined to be a sufficiently rare event.
No they have not been and they were not paid the same because of sexist discrimination. Here is one article discussing the historical reduction (not eliminiation) of the gender pay gap: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13524-014-0320-...

As the article argues, the reduction is largely due to a reduction in the "unexplained part", which is usually attributed to discrimination.

Usually people tend to buy expensive cars that they can't afford. And expensive cars give most people joy. There is that feeling of owning a shiny new thing that other people will see you in.

I kinda agree with you that personal finance shouldn't be about moralizing, but only in cases where that moralizing actually doesn't really affect you at all. The bullshit stuff about not buying coffee and instead saving up to thousands of dollars or whatever.

An expensive car (usually just a car in general) ends up being one of the most significant financial investment in the large majority of Americans' lifetime. So its wise to moralize about a decision which has the possibility of having such a huge impact.

The only time I would personally consider buying a fancy car is that if I got really really lucky and made over $10 million dollars somehow, at which point a $100k car is not insignificant, but not a sizeable part of my wealth portfolio. Until then I have my trusty Civic to take me around : ).

My wife is a paediatrician in the NHS, and before that did several rotations in OB.

I'm sorry you had a terrible time, but it is standard practise to prescribe Enoxaparin for recurrent miscarriage in the NHS: http://formulary.panmerseyapc.nhs.uk/chaptersSubDetails.asp?... Sure you can test for it, but in the absence of anything else, its a cheap, and not overly invasive. So its fair game for prescription. (My wife has had it twice.)

its also fairly cheap to the NHS (40mg preventative dose is £30(~$40) for ten doses https://bnf.nice.org.uk/medicinal-forms/enoxaparin-sodium.ht... so about £840(~$1100) for a 40 week course)

However a GP shouldn't really prescribe it, without the patient seeing a specialist first. In the NHS at least it would be the gynae department that would prescribe it. More importantly the NHS pays for what ever the doctor prescribes regardless of what it is. There is no concept of "here is the drug you should have, but you have to pay for it out of pocket"[1] the NHS is incharge of getting a good price.

[1] There are very rare cases like specialist proton therapy in certain cases, or new cancer therapy drugs. they account for less than 0.1% of all cases, unlike the states where ~20% of the populous can't afford basic drugs, like routine pain meds, or antibiotics. Also, there is no concept of cutting people off if they have spent to much. So chronic conditions are treated regardless.
