If you don’t know, you’ll learn pretty quickly when you buy one. If you don’t keep your hands on the wheel, it will flash at you, then beep at you, then stop the car.

In reality, once you are used to it, it’s actually quite easy to keep a hand on the wheel while using Autopilot.
Unlike most lotteries, in life we also have lottery losers who have to pay their ticket another 100x or so.
I was curious if this could be doable with jq, and apparently it is:

jq -j '
[
[
paths(scalars)
| map(
if type == "number"
then "[" + tostring + "]"
else "." + .
end
) | join("")
],
[
.. | select(scalars) | @json
]
]
| transpose
| map(join(" = ") + "\n")
| join("")
'

EDIT: Got the string quoting and escaping.

EDIT 2: For those who want to save this script, you can put just the jq code in an executable file with the shebang:

#!/usr/bin/jq -jf
In .NET you can pin memory in the GC heap, either using something like the fixed expression in C# or GCHandle. A quick Googleing did not turn up something usable directly by Java, except ByteBuffer.

I wouldn't expect performance to take forever (> 1 hr) for 1000x1000 in python. I know I have made not optimized path-finding that can solve 100x100 instantly (< 1 sec), and because the time complexity scales with # of vertices for planar networks that should mean that it would only take ~100 sec to solve 1000x1000.
>Patent rights exist because they benefit the public.

I don't see how your following statements support this claim.
Specifically in the short term, you say that the patent provides access to an invention (through the company or whoever will sell the invention). Is this necessarily the case?

>[...] but then left on the shelf for many years before someone found a commercial use for it

It doesn't seem clear to me how the ability for something to be privately patented suddenly makes it accessible to the public.

If government funded research discovered this pigment, then DuPont can still benefit from the process-- they'd just have to pay royalties to the government (i.e. the taxpayers) whose money gave rise to the invention in the first place.

Mazzucato argues that the private sector makes up the last and least risky part of technological innovation and entrepreneurship." [0]

This is just as snarky as your comment: Do you think car drivers are getting the same years of training on a single vehicle before they can even co-pilot it?

How autopilot actually works in airplanes is unimportant, the public perception and Tesla's intentionally ambiguous play with the word is what counts.
Well, that’s in part a point for the batteries, though. You spend a lot of energy to lift all that fuel that you just blow out with all its potential energy up in the air, whilst the batteries provide you with that very potential energy on the way down as well.
Glider planes quiet commonly are filled with water to make them heavier so they can make more use of the potential energy they gain from the externally powered take off and so that they can bridge longer distances without lift generating upwind.
That's a stretch. The video is directly under the headline of "Autopilot". Absolutely nothing on the page suggests that the video is demonstrating features that don't exist yet.

Both the Center For Auto Safety and Consumer Watchdog[1] have filed claims of deceptive advertising with the FTC because of this Autopilot video. It's really reaching to claim that the video is demonstrating anything other than Autopilot.

Spot on. I always assumed I am the smartest but during my PhD I met people that I considered far smarter then me. Some of the brightest made no career at all.

This made me more humble and also forgive myself a little for my non career.
It is endearing to me that people still think the NSA can't break most of the TLS traffic on the the Internet. I have my doubts about the security provided by traffic that transits US soil and is protected by US CAs. High skepticism would be a better way to put it. Citation needed, and I don't have one, but it is safest to assume they have this capability, and before anyone gets up in arms about this statement, I do understand how certificate authorities and TLS works and I don't think they have to break it cryptographically.

Keep in mind there are side channel attacks that let you guess passwords typed via SSH. I wouldn't be even a little surprised if the side channel leakage of most Internet traffic zooming around via TLS is good enough that the NSA can sort it pretty easily. This is all theorizing on my part, though.

What we do know is they can probably collect a huge amount of useful traffic and store it for a relatively short, but useful amount of time (weeks, probably). Kind of like a ring buffer. Systems are always sifting and flagging and saving some portion of what they are collecting, including raw traffic. Also consider that there are lots of ways of unmasking the basic metadata of the streams through any number of leaky things happening in the web browser.

This traffic is collected in an un-targeted fashion. They just promise (pinky swear) they don't look at it without a search warrant. Then a search program executes and they retrieve it from the data stores. Think about that legal theory, because that is exactly what Michael Hayden testified to. I don't know if it is just an age gap or something else, but I think people on HN are not aware of the extreme data collection the NSA performs and the ongoing threat this is, and continues to be, to privacy.

Anyhow, I think the generation after millennials should be called the surveillance generation, because it's all tracked. I just can't understand the skepticism at what the NSA is doing because of some lazy back of the envelope math. Anyway, this isn't really targeted at you as a reply, but this whole thread... there was a time when this sort of skepticism was basically the norm in technical circles with little doubt. Now I see it eroding in general tech circles.
"Cruise Control" doesn't mean I can ignore the ~3200lbs of sports car I drive, just like "Tesla Autopilot" doesn't mean drivers can ignore the ~5000lbs of battery under them.

As an American who spends considerable time driving cars in various performance events (even some fun wheel to wheel endurance stuff) I think I can safely estimate at least ~25% of drivers on the road today, probably shouldn't be. Tesla is making progress, and regardless of whether they survive these various courts of public opinion, they're helping to lay the ground work for safer roads by forcing the industry to integrate more and more automated safety systems.

There will be problems. Computers will fail, mistakes will be made, and people will die, but I'm confident the break even point on those human costs is already pretty far behind us.*

*That said, we already have onerous and terrible auto regulations in this country. If we (as a society) want to force companies to be more cautious in this area, well, its entirely within our regulatory structures power to do so.

> Why do people get to patent the products of federal grants?

A few reasons:

* The core hypothesis behind publicly-funded research is that simply advancing knowledge is a good thing. Patents (versus public domain, versus assigning a patent to the government) can change who benefits to what degree, but the raw public good is still there.

* Government grants often don't fully fund a research project, or interesting research happens as a byproduct of another 'core' project. That happened here -- undoubtedly the original grant said nothing about finding new dyes.

* Research grants don't fund all the steps to commercialization, they just fund "basic" research. Paradoxically, denying IP rights to funded research might stifle commercialization by making it not worth the effort to turn a lab development into a commercially-viable product. This is similar to the idea that old drugs and traditional remedies are under-studied in part because pharmaceutical companies cannot patent (and thus profit from) associated discoveries.
The first scene was indeed there, but then played no role for multiple seasons.
What is your definition of "public information"? It's trickier than you may think to define it precisely. For example, is any processed version of "public information" also public information?

Actually "old systems" aren't the bottleneck.

That's a strange claim without any evidence to back it up.

It's the first video on their "Autopilot" page. There's absolutely no mention of features that don't exist yet in the video.

You have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for any mention of full self-driving. I'd believe your claim if the video was under the headline of "Full Self-driving", but it isn't.

It's not about how easy it is to put your hand on wheel so that it can detect a bit of force (you can use bottle of water to do that).

The difficult part is to stay focused when doing that. If you spent 30 minutes driving to work on a highway, and your car was able to drive itself every day for 2 months, how likely are you to take any reasonable action on 3rd month when something unexpecting happens?
As a regular AutoPilot user, it does require active supervision. You need to be looking out the window as it drives you down the highway.

It detects minute levels of torque on the wheel, so resting a hand in the wheel is enough to keep it happy. If it doesn’t detect any torque on the wheel it prompts you, and you can touch the wheel or move one of the scrollwheels to let it know you’re paying attention.

> In general, it is very hard for humans to keep paying close attention to something they aren't involved in actually actively controlling

I hear this a lot without citations, and I would guess it’s not specifically studied in terms of Tesla AutoPilot.

But what I can say is that AutoPilot takes the strain away from driving and allows me to focus on higher level planning and situational awareness. I watch the cars around me, I look ahead down the road and check mirrors more frequently. AutoPilot makes driving significantly more pleasant while allowing me to be more aware of potential risks around me.

I have no doubt some people choose to disengage. But it is by no means difficult to stay engaged in monitoring the drive, or at all boring.

On the contrary, while I’ve many times “zoned out” while driving as simply maintaining position in lane is extremely tedious, I’ve never zoned out while on AutoPilot, because watching the absurd things that the drivers around you are doing never gets old.

Here is a summary for those who do not know much set theory.

Thanks to Gödel, we know that the Peano axioms for arithmetic cannot prove themselves to be consistent. The question is how much more do you have to add to that to prove that it is?

The answer turns out to be rather cute.

Consider the set of finite tuples of non-negative integers with a comparison that in Python looks like first comparing the length, and then comparing them in lexicographic order. That is, () < (0) < (1) < (2) < ... < (0, 0) < (0,1) < (0,2) < ... < (1, 0) < (1, 1) < (1, 2) < ... (0, 0, 0) < (0, 0, 1) < ... and so on. If this set is well-ordered, then PA is consistent. What well-ordered means is that a sequence of elements has to hit bottom in a finite number of steps. It may take a lot of steps, but it has to be finite.

Why would we expect that? Well bottom here is the empty tuple, (). There is only 1 so there is only one descending sequence and it hits bottom. (Well, duh.)

It is easy to write induction on a single variable to show that the tuples of length at most 1, that is () or (n), will hit bottom in a finite number of steps. In fact in no more than n+1 steps.

But what happens when we add tuples of length 2? Now it gets interesting. Consider the tuples of the form (n, m). Assuming that we've proven well-orderedness up to (n-1, _) we can do an induction proof to prove well-orderedness for (n, m). But then that is the induction step in a double induction proof of well-orderedness for (n, m).

Similarly well-orderedness for length 3 requires a triple induction.

And for length k requires a k-fold induction proof.

And so the full proof of well-orderedness cannot be written out in PA. Because it requires an infinite series of induction proofs. But they are all exactly of the same, very believable, form. And if you believe that k-fold induction is valid for every arbitrary k, then you can prove that any crazy arithmetic results that can be proven by the Peano Axioms will never create a contradiction.

I do so believe. :-)

> what an autopilot in an airplane does

...Flies the plane safely with zero input from the pilot (hands off the yoke) indefinitely? Lands the plane on its own [1]? I'm well aware that autopilot systems need input directions for desired altitude and air speed, but the semantic distinction people try to draw between "real" autopilot and Tesla's autopilot capabilities have never made sense to me.

You answered your own question!

> we already have statistics on which groups get sent to jail over minor crimes, and which ones get slaps on wrists

I think you will find those statistics correlate almost exactly to income and only overlap race because there is also a correlation between income and race in the US.

So without video that is hard evidence of actual racism (eg. arresting blacks and ignoring whites committing the same crime) we have to do a two-step mental trick to get to the racism. Poor people that are arrested can't afford lawyers (or good lawyers) and have worse outcomes. Black people tend to be poorer than Whites, so the courts are racist!

I believe it would be a different case altogether if you had "actual" direct proof (ie. video that could be counted and compared to outcomes), not just correlational proof that involves a lot of other noise that may or may not be racism or that is a couple of steps removed.
Yes, absolutely [1].

> If you recall, Apple's stance on privacy is quite recent

Apple's position on privacy really started accelerating in the pro-privacy direction in 2011 due to the issue around unencrypted location backups, which was also around the time Tim Cook took over. I don't know that 8 continuous years of trying to improve privacy (2/3 of the duration of the mobile revolution & going) is fair to characterize as "recent". Having worked there 6 years ago I can tell you that not only did Apple have internal messaging about privacy being important, they walked the walk in terms of supporting initiatives to continue to push the envelope.

> If you recall, Apple's stance on privacy is quite recent. The tech world has a short memory, but I remember Apple being caught red-handed slurping data from user's iPhones not so long ago

Which instance are you referring to? (sounds like the GPS incident above which doesn't seem recent to me).

> Also, unless things have changed (honestly, I haven't followed), Apple tracks users through their native apps, because you're pretty much obligated to go through Apple's SDKs for many things, and they require a tracking ID, which brings revenue to Apple.

AFAIK Apple doesn't track what you do within the app. They do track things like crashes, other issues, general 3p app usage (for understanding what's important to their customers), & their own apps. All things you would expect ANY vendor to do. It's super hard to add things to collect because above the privacy impact there's also typically a battery impact.
Correct. And yes, it is really dangerous and has led to countless unnecessary crashes and several deaths.

Humans are not capable of suddenly be required to take control of a vehicle with a split second notice.

Hopefully the laws mature enough to prevent these for being road legal.
I drive on AutoPilot every day. The shit I see other drivers doing on the highway blows my mind.

Yesterday a guy was trimming his toes. Bare foot up on the dash and just going at it. Can’t. Unsee.

Approximately half of drivers are holding a cellphone on their ear, or yawning with a look of utter exhaustion on their face, occasionally rocking out to some great tunes, which is fun when they catch you watching.

None of it is OK, but it is very clearly a universal issue much bigger than AutoPilot.
I haven't seen that one, but it looks very similar to the one I use: https://github.com/micha/json-table
How would one even know this? Do they run billing through stripe, and if so did he see the numbers? How would you know how lucrative this is?
Maybe they didn't want people poking about inside a live lamp fitting with a pin. A small button would be nice though.
Which is literally when they began to take privacy very seriously. Keep in mind that's 8 years ago & the first iPhone was released 12 years ago. I wouldn't characterize that as "recent".
That's great, thank you!
"unix" isn't a file format, nor is it in competition with either XML or JSON, so claiming it will "survive" either is a meaningless boast.

I always felt that people (brilliant or not, who am I to judge) lose their touch because they stop learning and start making excuses. "I'm not young anymore". "The world has changed". "Back in my days it was easier".

As far as burnout, I always felt like getting a few small wins was quite beneficial for preventing it. For example, as a programmer, depending on a level of burnout, I might:

- Fix a small bug

- Learn / setup up a new framework (shout-out to all JS frameworks out there -- you help us prevent burnout!)

- Do a self-contained project that you can release in a few days

- in severe cases Do some random shit completely not related to programming until you miss it and naturally come back because it's fun again.
It would probably be more along the lines of altering the re-entry characteristics of a manned space flight, you know, for lulz. Or nationalism. Or it’s Tuesday. Or whatever other Hal-baked rationale they can come up with.
