Autopilot -> Automatic Pilot. Automatic: working by itself with little or no direct human control. Pilot: one qualified to control a vehicle. I'd argue if autopilot requires intervention it is hardly automatic and definitely not qualified to operate a vehicle.

Further, consider other automatic devices in most cars, such as the automatic transmission. How do people expect to intervene with a gear shift during normal operation? Never.
And the hoops you had to jump through to do that is one validation of why products like stadia might be in demand.

That's referring to the human condition of "being on autopilot" (aka. your higher cognitive functions aren't doing much and you're brain's operating primarily on reflex). It's generally only used to describe situations where you've done something dumb because you were impaired or weren't really paying attention.
I was born and raised in Vegas, left when I was 25 for Dallas. Never went back except to visit family.

Dad was born there in 1936, and passed away there in late 2018. His father moved there to work on the dam during the Depression. Met my grandmother on Fremont St, which was then the only paved street in town. (4 blocks long.)

I have deep roots in Vegas, I know it really well, and I really dislike it.
No, absolutely not.

'Dumping' isn't 'making stuff cheaper', it's illegal in most countries. [1]

Second, it's not 'capitalism' when the government intervenes with massive subsidies, or worse, leverages the financial system and central bank to support an initiative.

You basically can't have any reasonable kind of trade with countries that engage in these practices. This issue is fundamentally why trade deals take so long: nations go to lengths to make sure the other side doesn't 'cheat'. One area of constant contention is agricultural subsidies. Because food production is seen as a 'strategic issue', countries feel the need to subsidize, but those subsidies aren't the same in each nation, causing serious competitive issues.

China plays the game to their advantage, fair enough - but the West should not simply allow China to have arbitrary leverage. It'd be better in the long run if everyone played fair, but so long as they want to play with shenanigans, those shenanigans should be returned in kind

My Acura’s collision alarm always beeps before coming out of the I90 bridge tunnel on the way to Seattle. It’s not like I’m relying on auto breaking to break or anything, and it’s never actually done anything beyond warn spuriously.
I prefer St1 stations in Finland because I can pay with the St1 credit card inside the St1 app. Really, the biggest benefit of using the app is that I don't have to stand in front of the payment terminal during winter, but I can rather just stay in the warm car until the pump is initialised and then just quickly go fill up.
> Names don't really mean anything, it could have been named anything.

Names absolutely have meaning. Why do you think Tesla named it “auto pilot” and not something else?
It all depends on the use-case/context. Hosting a single video with few concurrent views is cheaper to do on VPS. Hosting videos with short response time in any region, with high resiliency, etc. is likely cheaper to do on CDNs. It's not a myth. It's "general advice may not work for you".

Southern Nevada actually gets most of its electricity from power plants within the state: mainly from natural gas power plants owned by NV Energy adjacent to Vegas. Here's a recent Power Content Label for Southern Nevada [1]. Not much of the electricity consumed in Southern Nevada is purchased from out-of-state. Most of the natgas used in Southern Nevada's power generation comes from western Wyoming.

In Finland pretty much all places support NFC cards and by extension Apple Pay. Yet to come across a place where it didn't work.
I think the important questions are how people actually interpret it, and (if we want to judge Tesla) how they could reasonably have expected people to interpret it.

I don't know exactly how they presented it to the public, but it definitely doesn't seem like a name you'd choose if you were keen to avoid having people overestimate its capabilities.
The TL;DR;

Initial estimates of mortality rate are all over the place due to uncertainty in the data sets.

That said, the best estimate at the moment is around 2-3% and is subject to change as more data comes in.
Demystifying JSON with CockroachDB
Problem with these contactless payments is you first try contactless, then wait to figure out if it fails, then if it does, you're dealing with the slowness of a physical card on top of all the time you wasted with contactless. Until it reliably works everywhere, you kind of have to do a little math estimation to decide what to use:

T(card) = time it takes to use a physical card

T(ap) = time it takes to use Apple Pay

T(fail) = time it takes to realize Apple Pay failed

P(fail) = probability that Apple Pay will fail to work

So if T(card) < T(ap) x [1-P(fail)] + [T(ap) + T(fail) + T(card)] x P(fail)

...then you should just use your physical card. I don't even try Apple Pay anymore because merchant support is so unpredictable and spotty.

They certainly do, for me anyway. In my cranky old Firefox.
I feel that an engineer in almost any field should understand failsafe vs fail-deadly. Tesla's autopilot is definitely not a failsafe system.

While this is somewhat callous, if this engineer had taken that seriously he would still be alive.
I don't think it's asking to have one's hand held to complain about git's poor interface. There's no reason other than lazy design to have a tool where to show all remotes it's

$ git remote -v

But to show all branches it's

$ git branch -a

It's like it's been purposefully designed to be obtuse.

Having spent the first 25 years of my life (see other comment), and having lived in Austin 1992-2003 and 2011-now, I can tell you that summer in Las Vegas is far more miserable.

This is not an accurate summary of what C++ exceptions where "meant for". Here's Bjarne in 1989:

"The author of a library can detect errors, but does not in general have any idea what to do about them. The user of a library may know how to cope with such errors, but cannot detect them – or else they would have been handled in the user’s code and not left for the library to find.
The primary purpose of the exception handling mechanism described here is to cope with this problem for C++ programs; other uses of what has been called exception handling in the literature are considered secondary. See the references for discussions of exception handling techniques and mechanisms."

Ahh, "we'll ship it when it's ready, not on some arbitrary deadline." Music to any engineer/builder's ears.
I refuse to use Toyota's for the same reason. On I-95 in northern Virginia, people drive slow in the middle and left lanes all the time, so people are always weaving in and out of lanes trying to get around. This means you get cut off a lot. And every time someone cut in front, the truck would slam on the brakes well before it was necessary.
>It has improved a lot in the 9 months I have had it.

A system like this should not have noticable changes in behavior over such a short period of time. In other words, I don't think they should launch it (let alone call it "autopilot") until it's done and stable.

Sometime around 2014-15 when Ventra was rolling out in Chicago, I was intrigued by the "contactless" thing it was advertising. Some copy on Citi's website indicated there might be a contactless version of my card. Customer service had no idea what I was talking about. After a while on hold, I learned that there had been a contactless version, but it was retracted.

In the US market, Apple Pay came on the scene way bigger and way earlier than anything else. The traditional issuers weren't interested. So of course Apple gets the credit: it was the one to actually field the technology.

Samsung Pay is different. It works with swipe terminals too, by generating a magnetic field that imitates a magstripe card. A few years ago this was a big deal: NFC acceptance was pretty much only at hipster coffee shops and food trucks with Square readers, where the clientele all had iPhones anyway. Not so much now that most terminals upgraded to comply with the EMV mandate also have NFC.
Wow, that's crazy! I didn't even think about that, but I can totally see how it could be possible. I imagine that the only reliable way to prevent it would be to have multiple redundant systems that operated via consensus.
To clarify for readers (doesn’t matter for you), terminals that support Apple Pay probably also support tap room pay with credit cards that have that feature. It’s just as fast as Apple Pay (once you have your card out).
I drilled the well at the visitor’s center.
Absolutely. This is wildly inappropriate.

People have things come up in their personal life. These emotions still exist while working. Part of the job is being able to keep a lid on them and put on a good face when you have to.

The Subaru doesn’t have a forward radar does it? I heard it uses two optical camera instead. I bet smoke/water vapor can trip that up...

Our Mazda gets tripped up when adaptive cruise is engaged and someone pulls into the turn lane to make a left. It also can sometimes get “spooked” on the interstate when going on turns and trucks are in adjacent lanes.

Hasn’t freaked out with collision warnings though. Every time it has it was totally justified.
I love this question so much and have been thinking about it for the past few days (especially as I just put out a four-part guide on remote work).

Here are a few stories I picked up in the past five years:

I was an executive at a tech company which had a HQ in California. I joined to lead our European expansion so from the outset it was clear that I was going to be defacto ‘remote’. Although, at the time it wasn’t discussed as such. What was very obvious was that at the start the responsibility was very much on me to get in front of the people I needed, be heard, aggressively communicate what I wanted/needed, wake up early, stay online late, set reminders to ping people before I would go to bed...

Then in order to acquire the best talent, the company decided to become remote-friendly (and later remote-first). And more or less immediately I felt the burden of responsibility lifting form our small European team because I (and the European team) was no longer alone in the remote work situation.

The moment the company was clear on its intention, the habits started to settle in and everyone seemed to get on the same page. It was quite impressive to watch. But this shift was absolutely intentional and top-down driven.

One interesting impact the shift to remote-friendly (which lead us to become remote-first) was the following:

An increasing number of people took advantage of this shift, the HQ office slowly started to empty and lost the upbeat and busy atmosphere it once had. The remote attitude also started to extend to people working at HQ and remote became synonymous for ‘Work from home’ and making this a recurring habit was tempting. Seeing as the default was starting to be remote, it mattered far less if the HQ people were physically in the office because all those habits necessary for remote work had settled in.

I would certainly avoid the blend of remote work and centralised office because right from the outset it creates two separate cultures. I would advocate for going all in if you are doing in. While we were transitioning we certainly had two cultures.

Common mistakes:
- not being explicit and intentional with the decision
- not knowing why you are doing this shift in the first place
- seeing it as a perk rather than a fundamentally new way of working
- not preparing for such a shift
- being very clear on what 'remote' means for your company (how are you defining it)
Sounded like you traded one incompetence for another. Why in the world would you gatekeep your deployment on an external service?

You're not wrong. But that doesn't mean you can't do some good science communication on there.
I'm not certain that git will be the dominant VCS forever, as I'd used CVS, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, in various degrees when they were dominant (or at least relevant).

Who knows, maybe Linus will have another epiphany, while Microsoft somehow mismanages GitHub and squanders all the goodwill away. Then, a group of upstarts...

That said, wanting to learn git's internals for the sake of knowledge is fine as motivation.
Good ones only engage when you don’t act fast enough. They’ll also press the brake pedal harder if it thinks you aren’t pressing hard enough fast enough.

Ours only engages when it is truly justified. It has yet to flip its shit incorrectly. It’s adaptive cruise control on the other hand will sometimes freak out about cars in adjacent lanes and slow down more than it should.
Well, I mean, my auto-mobile requires me in order to be mobile so maybe words are more than the sum of their parts.

It's like how 'act' means one thing, 'god' means one thing, but in the right context 'act of god' doesn't mean a supernatural being intervened.
Very interesting move

Every tesla you can buy new has autopilot hardware and software for level 2 autonomy features. Certain older builds have different hardware.

There is an additional cost you can pay for called "Full Self Driving". This fee enables some new functionality like summon mode and the car changing lanes itself when you indicate a lane change. This fee is borderline fraud as people who leased early model 3 cars didn't receive anything close to the functionality described.

Autopilot is not ever active unless the driver enables it. You pull a stalk to turn on adaptive cruise control which only manages your speed and doesn't do any steering. Another pull of the stalk turns on autosteer, which is really just fairly fancy lanekeeping assist. You can buy a tesla and never use autopilot. There is some automatic emergency braking you can't disable, but that's true of nearly all new vehicles.
Damn.

So I use Thunderbird, with no HTML, images or remote resources.

A system like this which isn't constantly improving is not a system that will ever ship, or ever reach truly reliable widespread use.
For some reason "Apple engineer" is used a lot (see title) in discussions around this on both ends (i.e. "he was an engineer and thus knew his stuff/was credible, and he voiced some concerns to friends/family, so let's agree with it being Tesla's fault" vs. "he was an engineer and should have known/anticipated the system's caveats"). The thing is you cannot have it both ways, so I think (and I think we agree) we should not appeal to the driver being an engineer at all.
I heard of a similar situation, there are times when trains almost drive themselves so the engineers don't need to pay much attention. The problem is when things go wrong and they need to act. Sometimes the engineers are so involved in other things that they fail to act.

That's one of the theories given for the cause of the 2008 Chatsworth train crash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chatsworth_train_collisio...
It is completely dishonest to suggest they called it auto pilot for any reason other than to invoke the image of the car doing every thing for you. It’s funny how people love to slam other companies marketing as being dishonest “brainwashing” but give Tesla a free pass.
I like Eyesight. It's pretty cool and I like the emergency braking feature. The warning triggers before the emergency brake quite often spuriously but it's nice. I like it.

I think the difference between me and the rest of these guys is that I see it as just an assistive technology and they're trying not to drive. I still have my eyes on the road and everything. It's just there to help, just like I still use my mirrors even when I have the blind-spot detector active. And it does a good job, especially since I can override the adaptive cruise and lane assist at any time pretty easily.
So... That's a very good choice of name then. You shouldn't advocate for it.
Maybe because it literally means what it does?
I agree, although otoh we’ve seen a ton of gratuitous motion all over mobile/desktop/web UIs which is totally irrelevant.

Hopefully this trend will pass much like the Photoshop layer effects (bevel emboss, drop shadow, etc) which were everywhere in the late 90s early 00s.
It was literally the most dangerous left-hand ramp in the entire Bay Area, and had already killed someone within the previous year.

“Suicide Mode” would be as successful, I’m sure.
Give me a break dude. Tesla’s marketing department knew exactly what they were doing when they called it “auto pilot”. And it wasn’t because somebody there looked up the “literal meaning” of “auto pilot” and rolled with that (though it certainly provides an easy out for their more... dedicated... fans to help defend the company)
How much code can a coder code? – Successful Software
> other driver assistance features are creating problems too. I think it was Subaru I was just reading about having serious problems (and a recall) where automatic braking triggers inappropriately and may cause an accident.

I had a late model C-class Mercedes for a bit and got rid of it for that exact reason. It auto braked twice in conditions that did not warrant it at all (and hard too), the first time causing the car to come very close to skidding into the support posts of a cantilevered bridge, the second time because of a traffic sign in a turn that apparently gave enough of a return to trigger e-braking. Very bad software. According to the company that sold me the car everything was as it should be.
That can be enabled remotely: "Full Self-Driving Capability is available for purchase post-delivery, prices are likely to increase over time with new feature releases"

That means the hardware and software are in the vehicles for purchase via the website. Hence my question.
Gotta love how quick Tesla is to throw their customers under the bus using telemetry data the customer cannot access on their own..
that and that their machine supported it.
We're all talking about learning the internals of git and how it works, not it's poorly formed command lines. Pointing out how shitty the interface can be doesn't mean you shouldn't learn how your tools work.
"Postmodernism" may have been in 1926, and it was post-modern... from the viewpoint of 1926. 94 years later, or boundaries have shifted somewhat...

(Even that article that you linked says, 'The definitions of both terms, "modern history" and "contemporary history", have changed over time, as more history has occurred, and so have their start dates.')
You're Not Listening. Here's Why
No, this is not pedantic. An autopilot is a complex system that needs full time management. It looks like this [1], and you need to correctly twiddle the dials every few minutes to get the plane to do what you want. It's not a button, it doesn't avoid traffic, and it doesn't know about the broader flight plan. Even fancy autopilots that can follow waypoints and intercept a localizer and autoland and all that - managing them looks more like programming a crappy computer than pressing a button.

As programmers, we know that the only way to achieve 100% certainty that code will never be executed is for it not to be present at all. I'm specifically asking if that safety feature -- complete absence of autopilot -- is available as an option.
Their customer is perfectly aware of whether he has a video game going on in his hands instead of a steering wheel. No telemetry needed from that perspective.
Or if Tesla had
Yes, the public holds misconceptions about how much the autopilot on a plane does. But some of their beliefs are accurate, and would be dangerous when extended to a car: like how, when the plane AP is engaged, you don’t need sub-second reaction times for possible obstacles. You do need that in a Tesla.
