> If I have to drive the last 1% myself, it's not a big deal. I suspect this is how most people feel.

Which is all well and good until you realize a few things:

1) that “last 1%” happens every trip at any time. You will always encounter an edge case the machine cannot handle. Period.

2) as a result you have to always pay attention in order to immediately take over

3) you can’t because you (the royal you) are three sheets to the wind plastered drunk.

Sorry. If I have to pay attention for that 1%, it ain’t full self driving. And anything that encourages you not to pay attention 100% of the time is unsafe and shouldn’t be allowed in the road. And if I have to pay attention 100% of the time in order to take over, what the fuck is the point?
Nah, you're making a good case. I think what you're trying to say is to test the CPUID bits for a consistent subset of AVX512 flags and treat it all as one or two clumps. There was always going to be a fallback path for older subsets (SSE2-SSE4.2, AVX1-AVX2) anyways, so punt if it doesn't have all the features in a clump.

1. Ad tech is a product which people are willing to pay for. It’s extremely unlikely that it provides no positive effect to all these customers.

I'm talking about positive effects to "the world" / society / the public at large. Obviously not to the people getting their pockets filled.

2. Ad Tech is trying to make advertising experience better

No, they're trying to make more money. Whether they do so by making the advertising "experience" (I loathe that freaking word) better or worse it's irrelevant.

3. AdTech (which GP kinda mentioned) pays for a lot of things that are available for free and likely wouldn’t be otherwise

Slavery pays for a lot of cheap or free things as well, so that's not a really good argument in of itself, is it?

Every time I watch some "expert" on TV taking about some country, I think one thing - does this person have any real experience with the topic he/she is taking about? Have they visited the country they are dissing on TV, even once? Most of these so called experts are paid too.

This is not just faux news either, the experts are on all channels. No wonder the public has low trust of news these days.

The federal government is light-years ahead of whatever private citizens can get their hands on; 71% of americans are overweight or obese; 30% of americans have some kind of chronic pain.

I think that the best way to exercise the second amendment is to organize militias at the state level, but even then, there still isnt enough cash for proper defenses against the federal government.
The problem is with global brands that continue to advertise anyway. You can make the "discovery" argument for upstarts and niche businesses, but when Coke or Exxon are advertising to me, there is no pretense of giving me information I didn't already have. At some point it's purely about associating one's product with vaguely positive imagery and embedding it just a little bit deeper into everyone's consiousness. No end-consumers benefit from that.

"A truly great product sells itself" is one of the most persistent myths engineers believe.

I don't understand how people can still believe this when it's so obviously false. It's a nice story, that if you make something great you'll get what you deserve. That sounds fair, but there's no reason to believe the market works this way.

A "truly great product" that no one (or not enough people) know about will go out of business and disappear.

Good advertising is just communication.

What makes you say this? Gut feeling? Or do you have any supportive evidence?

We’ve done self-driving as a POC for a decade in Denmark, and it hasn’t really improved much, to the point where we too are considering, that it’s probably never going to work in the real world.

Don’t get me wrong. Self driving already works, it just doesn’t work on roads. Roads where you’ll suddenly have a bunch of leaves flying around. Roads where the paint job is cracking, perhaps even missing. Roads where the street signs are old and faded.

In ten years of testing with some of the best in the business, we’ve had maybe two days worth of self-driving.

That neglects limited access roads and wide boulevards. In either case, even if pedestrians aren’t banned, they are rare enough to be an exception rather than a rule.

Prove they are getting better. They run into the sides of trucks and off ramps on the freeway quite often (and don’t you dare blame the driver... it’s “full self driving” remember?)

Can you prove a machine learning algorithm does the right thing in novel cases it hasn’t encountered before? Nope.

And also, don’t reply with “well can humans”. That is a lame rebuttal. Computers will be held to an almost 100% non-failure standard before society accepts them. And that will never happen because of, well, reality.

I don't think you should read any of that as "blaming the go-around", but as stating facts.

> And it sounds as if the 330 was both taking off ans flying at the same time.

Time passed between the two events.

From how I read it: A330 is ready for take-off, 737 is in landing approach. Tower realizes this is too close, tells 737 to abort and turn right to give the A330 space. But the A330 will take off and also turn right because that's where it is supposed to go. And that happens: A330 takes off, goes into a hard right turn, alarms go off because it gets too close to 737 which is still low and in soft right turn, A330 pilot doesn't turn quite as hard to leave more space.

What exactly the mistake was and how grave it is is for the safety boards to figure out (shouldn't have let the 737 get as far as it did? should have stopped the A330 from takeoff? Should have warned both sides they'd get close to each other? It actually was acceptable in the end because the controller had it in sight?)
If the universe is truly infinite, I would be incredibly surprised if any given thing happened a non-zero finite number of times.

Every NxNxN cube of space has a finite state space. Assuming an infinite universe, there are an infinite number of such spaces. If a state is likely enough to occur once, it ought to occur an infinite number of times.

This supposes not only a game functionally (if not superficially) identical to chess, possibly with differently shaped or colored pieces. It also supposes a world identical to Earth, called Earth by the English speaking humans who live there, who play a game called chess which functions exactly like chess, with knights that are called knights and bishops that are called bishops.

Which leaves us in an interesting conundrum. We can't ask which game is the most common, because many games occur infinitely many times: infinity doesn't let us make comparisons like that.[1]

Then we start asking questions like which games occur finitely many times? Of the finitely numbered games, which was the most common? Least? What does the probability curve look like? (This is honestly the most interesting to me. Is the peak at 1 unique copy which then exponentially decreases, or are there very few unique games which grow to a peak and then rapidly drop to zero, or is it a uniform distribution that just... Keeps going, or is it a boring normal distribution?) Which game had the most variations but still recognizable to a player of a middle of the road variation? Are there any ring species [2] of games, and if so, which has the largest ring? Is Star Trek 3D chess played unironically?

Other questions we can't ask: are there infinitely many games? There are not. Life is almost certainly bounded in size, which means there are a finite number of states. This gives us a finite number of creatures, and therefore a finite number of unique ideas.

Infinity is a fickle mistress.

Thinking of things less meaningful doesn’t suddenly make something meaningful in the general sense. Both can still be pretty meaningless when it comes to advancing society long term.

Optimal auction algorithms for ad placement can be interesting technical work and there can be some interesting economics work in there for price discovery, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not very meaningful to the broader world.

If you destroy a yield sign, maybe it will eventually cause some problems, or maybe not. We could imagine a world in which destroying smart infrastructure could pretty instantaneously and reliably cause massive traffic jams, which seems like it would appeal more to certain trolls and perhaps protestors.

We could also imagine a world in which more subtle attacks could reliably and fairly quickly cause injury/fatality accidents, which might appeal to terrorists.

>what does low income have to do with this? driving is expensive. between fuel, vehicle maintenance, parking, and insurance, driving your personal vehicle should not be the "low income" choice.

At the low end it is not really that expensive.

Initial buy in is like $1500, $1k for the shitbox, $500 for the paperwork you need to legally operate it.

Fuel isn't exactly cheap but it's not a lump sum so if you're poor you can manage.

Maintenance is solved by bringing beer and pizza to someone who does that stuff on the side (for any instance where the upper middle class would shell out hundreds for a licensed professional this is the solution the lower classes usually have). If something really catastrophic happens you get another shitbox and are late on your other bills.

Unless you live somewhere where public transit is both decent quality and cheap and parking routinely costs money then driving is often cheaper than public transit.

Much is for the US and their military adventures, not for NATO or NATO-related things. It supports the US war machine. Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, North Africa, ... Much of that has nothing to do with defending Germany, defending the US or defending NATO...

The US and its allies/friendly countries currently outspend Russia approximitely fifteen times.

If Germany would spend 2% of its GPP on military, then it would approach Russia in absolute numbers, That would be crazy.

What we really need is LESS military spending and less military adventures of the US (Iraq, Syrian, Libya, ...). The US has destabilized the whole middle east and north africa. The refugees are going to Europe, not the US...

The US will stay in south germany for the near future, because it provides excellent logistics for US wars in middle east, asia and africa.
And if you have not been doing the driving, it will take precious seconds - too long - to assess the situation and react appropriately.

Per Wikipedia, there are 187,000 tons of gold above ground, and about 2000 tons are mined a year. That's about 1%. If all the gold was used to support currencies, mining would only let you increase the currency supply by 1% a year. If the economy is growing by more than 1% a year, then the currency has to be deflating.

But all the gold isn't being used to support currencies. So here's a different scenario: A currency is 20% supported by gold. We need, because reasons, to increase the currency supply. 2000 tons of gold is 4 million pounds, which is 48 million (troy) ounces. Gold is $1500/ounce at the moment, which gives us $72 billion of gold mined in a year. That lets one country use the whole world's mining to create $360 billion of currency in a year. Well, in 2008, the US created $4 trillion to keep the economy from collapsing. So mining isn't going to let you prevent deflationary collapse when you need to.
