Their forward facing radar has failed to avoid crashes into big, stationary objects (at least 2 semi trailers, a fire truck, and more). The explanation I got was that radar is rather noisy, so it's handy to filter-out stationary objects (like road signs, broken down vehicles on the shoulder, and fatally, any any semi trailer crossing your lane)
Actually the parent is correct. "That's not how it works". Specifically deer prions (but not other cervids like elk) don't seem to be transmissible to cows, both in the lab and in the wild, and not to mice or humans in the lab. It goes in both ways IIRC, cows nor mice can't go to deer.
Uh the bus protest was them riding the bus and continuing to ride the bus. You missed literally the entire events and purpose of one of the most well documented protest in history.
There is a setting in HTTP/2 called SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS, if set to 1 it works like HTTP/1.1, with no multiplexing. Setting it to 4~8 would make it behave in a similar way a browser actually does with HTTP/1 (creating multiple connections in parallel).

From my perspective, I don't need to write a 50k LOC monolith codebase in clojure, which has just a few core types. I have become a fan of its `clojure.spec` data validation system if I do ever end up in such a world.

I've written those huge codebases in java, where our weekly github commits pushed like 5-10k lines of code per user. It would have been worse if it weren't for Lombok, and totally untenable if it weren't for IDE-assisted refactoring. I've since worked on much larger and more impactful problems with smaller clojure teams and seen work consistently get done in 1/10th of the LOCs.

I used to be a fan of static types -- I still am in limited contexts, but I've come to realize that statically-typed languages (especially object-oriented ones) usually lead to projects that _require_ static typing to even be maintainable. In contrast, a philosophy common to functional languages (which don't always have to be dynamic) is:

> "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." —Alan Perlis

I think discussions focused around type systems often miss the context of what languages' type systems we're actually talking about, and that context is way more important than making sweeping judgments about types.

I can count _on one hand_ the number of times I've defined a custom type in clojure in the 3 years I've been writing it professionally. Yes, sometimes I've called a hash map function on some kind of a list, but that cost has felt really small (and caught early) compared to the cognitive cost of keeping track of class hierarchies, interfaces, access rules, and annotations. And for what win? I still get NPEs, ClassCastExceptions, and RuntimeExceptions in Java, but now I have a whole class of errors and processes introduced around playing well with its inheritance model.

So, great, it's stopping me from directly instantiating an abstract ApiClient class, and quickly catching that I tried to get an HttpApiClient from an HttpsApiClientBuilder.build() call -- but that pattern would not have existed to present an issue were it a different language
Not being familiar with Rust, the article was interesting, but I felt like it lacked examples. The Result<T, E> is also available in other languages, even in TypeScript you could have `function x(): number | Error {}`, it is just a consequence of being able to return a union of data types, why is Rust's case special? (apart from being able to handle it nicer with "match")
If the work SmartCar had done was worth $55 million, I suspect Company X (or their VC) would have used their money to purchase this company for $55 million instead of deciding to waste the time cloning it.

Instead, think of the work as a means to an end, the end being revenue.

Company X was able to raise $55 million because they were able to demonstrate that the potential market could support the revenue necessary to justify such funds, and that they could use the work already done by SmartCar to get to market more quickly.

Now, in my opinion this is very shady and should be grounds for a lawsuit, but in terms of raw business savvy, the $55 million is for a smart business that knows how to execute for less. If money raised was in direct correlation to a quality product or the ability to produce such a product, rather than in direct correlation with e.g., the team (cabal?) involved and their ability to make returns for investors, then we’d be living in a very different world.
In the US, most public universities are run by state governments (some larger cities also have university systems), and most of the students come from within the state. So it's not something they own, and there's no interestate commerce to regulate. As another commented out, at the end of the day the federal government can pass whatever law it wants - some of us argue that the federal government should generally let states pass laws running themselves with things like this, since different states run things differently depending on a bunch of factors.
Hence why you start with the stuff for controlling your nuclear reactors (and, perhaps more importantly, fighter jets and guided missiles) to develop the local engineering and industrial base. And then gradually evolve that into general computing.
Many of these state schools operate international or online programs, and charge some students ‘out-of-state’ tuition, and take federal subsidies.

I'm not exactly blaming HTTP/2, just saying the claim that switching to HTTP/2 is easy, safe, and only brings benefits is false.

> They tend to vote against their own interest

It's interesting how so many people seem to believe voters get a ballot with multiple line items on them, one of them being "Raise taxes on the rich". Or if that's not the root belief behind "people voting against their interest", that economics is the prime motivator for all voters.

> Employees that bring politics to work are making the workplace uncomfortable for everyone else who has a different (or perhaps a more nuanced-) opinion, but can't speak up

is so important. The General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street paid some mind to it, but it's generally assumed that being apt and competent in forcefully communicating perceived issues is fully equivalent to having legitimate grievances and interests in the matters at stake.

This runs the spectrum from very shy/social anxiety/autism to has three kids/sick parents/too busy to worry about campus/homeowners' association/etc. politics.

This is neat! I'm not sure I have a real use for it - but if it was cheaper I'd use it a few times just for fun.

I wonder if they would send me a letter of a long, encoded string? Imagine ~300 characters of hand written hex encoded bytes, framed on your wall. .. man, I kind of want that.

The question is, would they write that?
Phase lock or introducing jitter to laser timings. Check out Animats' comments on this topic, it's where I've learned from regarding this.
I've seen the same kind of thing happen when people switched from one load balancer to another: people were unaware they were dependent on a particular kind of queueing or rate limiting to protect their backend services, and they got hit hard when their new load balancer did not protect them in the same way.
I went to university in Sweden, where there is no tuition for citizens (EU citizens, actually.) I think this is one of the reasons the Scandinavian countries have such high social mobility.

Now, that doesn't mean going to university is free, since you still have to be able to pay room, board, textbooks, etc, but the student loans I have are structured such that the payback is indexed to my income. Not being able to pay your student loans because you don't make enough money is not a thing, so there's much less risk in taking out these loans that there is in the US.

I would happily fund other people's education if that means a citizenry that doesn't believe the Earth is flat, that vaccinates their children, and whose world view in general is based on critically assessing sources of information...

Now, the Swedish universities are also mostly state-run. In the US, I'm not sure how the system would be sustainable if the private institutions of higher education can just charge what they want and then have the state pay the students for it. Seems like a recipe for runaway costs. I guess her proposal is only for public universities though?

I've come to the realization that what we mean when we say "programming" must be fundamentally different categories of activity for different people.

I can't remember the last time I had a type error, or maybe if I did it was so trivial to fix that it's not sticking out. Type errors wouldn't even rate in the top ten categories of bugs that I make or encounter, so it seems odd to pick a programming language with that as a primary concern.

All else being equal, it does seem nice at some theoretical level to have a compiler that checks type correctness, but there's lots of other issues that would also be nice to have the compiler handle, which it often doesn't. For example, TypeScript seems to (like JavaScript, so far) not have any bigints, which seems to me a much worse flaw than lacking a type checker. What good is it for the computer to check my usage of types, if it can't even do arithmetic correctly with them?

But maybe this is just more of that nice feeling. I can't recall the last time I overflowed a fixint, either. (64 bits help with that -- or even 53 bits.) It's admittedly not a major practical concern in my daily programming life.

Maybe there are people who fret about type safety the way I fret about overflow. I assume it must be a concern among some styles of programming, because I keep hearing about how languages without compile-time type checkers are bad, even though my experience does not agree.

(Then people go and use languages where the type system is merely at the level of "Number" and "String", and it lets you pass a loop index to a function expecting a height in centimeters, and that's considered acceptably type-safe.)
Snow completely disables lidar as well if I recall correctly.

I'm Bangladeshi, from Dhaka. Trust me, no one is interested in getting drive-through. Dhaka is the traffic capital of the world, it's always a cost-benefit calculation to go out onto the road because you'll be spending extreme amounts of time stuck in traffic, inching along, burning gas. To get a Starbucks or a sandwich? Forget that.

What is becoming popular in Dhaka is, as you said, food delivery services which are mostly by scooter because of obvious reasons. For delivery, you're not going to order a sandwich, again for obvious reasons.
Not directly. Public universities in the US are chartered and controlled by the states they are in (with a few exceptions for city universities). The feds can try to use carrot-and-stick measures by playing with federal funding for higher education, but that may well backfire.

Also, US states subsidize (heavily, in the case of smarter states like California and Florida) tuition at their public universities for state residents. It's unclear how residency would play in to this plan.

Sorry but no chance. For one it's not actually bad for you. A good meat stew for example is a culinary staple in almost every culture in the entire world and is considered both healthy and hardy. You can't say the same thing about tobacco.

I'll be happy to take another look when they can grow A5 Wagyu beef in a lab and not just trying to make plant matter act like meat.

To be perfectly blunt this entire thread is vegans patting themselves on the back. It's an echo chamber.

Killing an animal on a farm quickly and painlessly is a lot kinder than what that animal would experience in nature left to their own devices. Sadder still is that I suspect that a lot of these farm animals are likely to go extinct when the technology to grow meat in a lab becomes viable and cheaper. Considering how close we are to being able to produce human organs that can actually be transplanted into a live human it's not far fetched to think we'll be able to grow high quality, beautifully marbled muscle tissue of various species in the not too distant future.

Education is not a tulip, though.
I think one would need to look at salary over the course of the time to pay off a loan, and also the overall distribution of salary and not just median. I'm sure there are many out there with more than $50k in loans, now making $110k per year. I'm sure there are many out there who started off making $80k, now making $100k or more a few years later.
> The rational here is we don't need massive amounts of same kind of data but needs right kind of data for training neural networks correctly.

This is really important. At a certain point additional miles on similar roads in nice conditions with fair traffic won’t help anymore. The data variety is really important.
I don't know whether this also holds for military applications, but it seems at least plausible to me.

AFAIK, it is generally true. Military versions of the Intel x86 chips were generally one branding cycle behind. When hardened 486 chips were being used in F-16's 1st gen Pentiums were the norm for civilian use.
Manny's is great, but in Minneapolis I'd honestly rather go to P.S. Steak or Burch Restaurant if I'm in the mood for a good steak. It may be just me though, as I don't enjoy the traditional steakhouse experience.

Well, you can open a restaurant named "Computer Scientists Who Like Basil" but I ain't gonna be one of your customers until I see lines queuing up!8-)

tpolverini says>"respectful"? "bordering on offensive"? "proud"? "it's tough to feel proud of the movie The Godfather", "I grew up in communities where the Italians could proudly go to other restaurants that were more respectful of a 3,000 year old culture."

Heck, that's nuthin'! I grew up in communities where you could proudly go to restaurants serving food that _was_ 3,000 years old, judging by the taste! I'll take Italian-American any day!

Jeez! Lighten up a little bit! The economy runs on entertainment. And if we can't laugh at each other and at ourselves then we're lost. That's the original and cheapest entertainment.

Copying the headers make sense even if you rewrite the implementation from scratch, it gives a very basic layer of verification that your implementation matches the original (if the declarations in the prototype clash with your rewrite, there's probably something wrong in there). It doesn't sound like a particularly bad or unethical technical decision to me, at least as long as it's done otherwise completely legally (which has been a very expensive question to settle).

Copy/pasting docs and rewording everything to try and hide that fact is a lot lazier and shadier IMO.
Samsung to Postpone the Launch of Galaxy Fold After Review Unit Displays Fail
>About 21.8% of the world's population is vegetarian [1]. Let me flip your question: Do you think if those billions of people began consuming meat, the world would be the same? Of course not. Assuming meat production could rise to fit this 21.8% increase in demand (it likely couldn't), the planet would be much worse off. So, yes. Although an individual's choice to not eat meat doesn't do much, in aggregate, it's massively important. "The inactive must justify their sloth by picking nits with those making an attempt"

My point is NOT "if everyone practiced vegetarianism, climate change would be unaffected." I completely agree with you that the world would be a better place if "everyone were to suddenly switch to being vegan." The point is that in aggregate, not much is ever going to change in the short term, and to believe otherwise is wishful thinking. We have a large sample size of folk who simply don't care about the well being of animals, and a smaller portion of folk who do. That portion hasn't actually changed much over time, even though information about animal farming practices has because much more readily available [1]. It can thus be assumed that changing the way animals are raised and delivered will have a bigger impact on their well-being, than will those who do not eat meat continuing not to eat meat.

> "The inactive must justify their sloth by picking nits with those making an attempt"

A disingenuous attempt at mocking me, considering I have taken large steps in my own life toward vegetarianism. I just hold realistic rather than idealistic hopes for the future of omnivores and the environment they derive their food sources from.

Unless I’m misunderstanding the parent commenter’s definition of a probabilistic gate - I’m assuming a unitary matrix - then that shouldn’t be an issue. Chaitin’s constant is in both R and C. More generally, all uncomputable real numbers are also in C, because C is complete over R.

In other words that shouldn't be the issue, because the correct "setting" for the stochastic matrix still allows for that possibility. It's not something you introduce by using real entries.

I once took a survival course and during it I had to kill a rabbit with my bare hands, skin it, process the meat, cook it, and eat it. I definitely wanted to make sure the animal suffered as little as possible, but I was in no way deterred. Most people through human history have killed their own food from time to time. It's not really a big deal.
> Violence has a specific meaning, and an essential part of it is that there is physical harm being done.

I think this is an assumption / belief that just isn't true, no matter how much you want it to be. Adjectives, like "violent", are used metaphorically all the time, and the use of metaphor isn't inherently incorrect
It looks like the author of this article tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10.

What would be really interesting is if the same tests could be performed with all of the other, older versions of Windows... why? Well, then you'd know the version of Windows in which this phenomena first appears (it could not possibly have existed in Windows 1.0 and probably didn't exist until several subsequent versions later). So that knowledge of where it first appears could be interesting... That is, I'd love a Raymond Chen deep-dive explanation for the Microsoft "why" of this phenomenon...

One thing LIDAR can do that Tesla's ML vision software cannot is identify freeway dividers and trucks turning in front of the car.

Once Tesla can actually handle those two extremely basic tasks maybe they can start talking about how vision is better than LIDAR. Until then, it's just more hot air, and that's not even taking into account Tesla's claims of using ML to predict the actions of uncontrolled independent agents in the field of view.
I would expect autonomous cars to be have doubled down security against tinkering although I personally don't like that. The reason is purely public safety. If someone could re-program autonomous cars to slam into public crowds and places, imagine the havoc it can cause. A malicious actors can just walk in to parking garage, put in some wires and reprogram every vehicle they can get their hands on - imagine those scenarios.
Yeah, agreed. Much better to keep the guy sexually harassing your employees, and fire the people complaining to HR about it. /s

Legal personhood is much misunderstood. There is no grand set of rights attached to all persons. There are an infinite different types of persons, entities to which some rights are attached but never all. We in the west normally understand "persons" as in flesh-and-blood physical people but even then what rights a person has depends on all sorts of things, from the location of their birth, to their age, sex, mental capacity, education or wealth. And yes, race can still alter a person's rights under the law. What matters is not the "person" label but what rights this court is willing to recognize at attach to this new type of person.
This has nothing to do with communications or product development. China will not let a non-Chinese company ever gain top position in any sector. That's how the government works.
