People already do the things you listed, though. Hell, when my kids were in car seats I frequently had to reach around behind me to soothe them via touch. AutoPilot would have been a godsend, because I wouldn’t have had to stress out so much about juggling two things at once.

This is the part where you call me irresponsible, right? It seems like every discussion on this topic follows that pattern. The fact remains, though, that humans are in cars, and have all the weirdness that goes along with it. AP makes it easier. A lot.
Instead of trying to tear Tesla down for something you are doing yourself, why not look for the positive aspects of what is happening? The technology is getting hugely better over time, so whatever you have been reading about it is probably outdated.
How often do you hear of a case where a doctor, upon establishing that a patient has a debilitating illness that doesn’t respond to conventional medical treatment, recommend that they undertake deep emotional development or trauma healing work?

I can tell you from personal experience, it doesn’t happen. Patients are left to figure this out for themselves, and usually don’t as the idea is considered so wacky.
As a software engineer, all I have to do is think that my colleges wrote the auto pilot code, and that would keep me from ever turning the feature on.
Not if journalists uniformly switch over.
> No, not really. If you're comparing to planes, they have automated systems that will almost always keep them at a completely different altitude to avoid potential collisions.

Autopilot in VNAV/LNAV modes does not do this, it follows a programmed flight path.

TCAS is the anti-collision system, but it's a secondary system that only gives information to the pilot. It's up to the pilot to make inputs to avoid a collision.

Pilots are the primary anti-collision system - by using their eyeballs to look for other aircraft when flying under visual flight rules (VFR) and also following clearances/information from controllers when flying under instrument flight rules (IFR).

> Plane pilots have to pay very little attention with autopilot on compared to Tesla drivers with Autopilot on.

This is not correct at all.
You kind of validate the other poster's point that it should be called "driving assistance" like the other half-baked solutions and not "autopilot".
shrug I'm probably never going to work at either of those places. For pretty much everywhere else, Git works just fine.

Maybe if I play my cards right, I'll use git for the rest of my career. If not, maybe there will be something new eventually, but I imagine that the concepts learned in mastering Git would still be useful.
"The U.S. is notoriously behind on this sort of stuff"

When the global allocator fails, you might not be able to do much... except set a flag, and free a big block of memory that was reserved against just such an event.

Then the program can do whatever cleanup is warranted, maybe freeing up a variety of other resources, and then maybe re-reserve that block, and forge ahead.

But when you actually care about performance, you often are not using the global allocator. A local allocation failure is nothing to panic over. Generally, only the higher level code -- where the handler is -- knows, or needs to care, what kind of allocator failed. The low-level code gets to just bail out, as it should.
I'm not looking forward to this excessive padded future.

I’m a Backblaze customer of many years & respect their team a lot. But seriously, “out-Googling Google” because they have cheaper storage is a meme that needs to die.

GCP and AWS both store full copies of your data in multiple locations by default (Availability Zones in AWS-speak). So it’s not an apples to apples comparison. The reduced redundancy is priced in, for people who can tolerate it.
The facts around current car safety is that it's already really quite good. In modern cars and "autopilot-feasible conditions" you are talking well below 1 fatality per billion vehicle miles travelled with regular human drivers.

This means that if a model has sold 1 million cars they each need to drive 100 000 miles with autopilot enabled before the insurance company has enough statistics to say "this is safer than a human".

I've been using firefox preview for a few months now and love it. My only complaint is that even though it is set up as my default browser android still insists on using chrome to open some things, such as results from google assistant. But that's hardly Mozilla's fault.
Every time you do, I remind you that the page also makes it clear that current systems require supervision.

I have a car with Mobileeye. Mobileye recently demonstrated fsd in Jerusalem. Fortunately, like everyone else who can read, I know that system is not the same system that I have installed on my car.

Tesla’s wording really isn’t that different here.
I don’t think this is accurate. Within a single region, S3 stores in multiple availability zones by default.

I don't know when that went up there, but that's not demonstrating autopilot - that's demonstrating Full-Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities.

Less than 10 seconds in it's demonstrating functionality that Autopilot does not have - turning from one road onto another, stopping at intersections, etc.

> They should know it all: where the cpu and ram is, how the motherboard look like and etc.

Why? That's not Computer Science. Computer science is the science of computation, not the science of computers.

> Nobody expects them to go out there and start fixing computers, however if someone spends 4 years studying the subject and can't even be asked to look inside the box,well then there's not much hope...

Hope for what?

> A couple of weeks ago I was on the sales floor and was about to change RAM on a couple of PCs( it's not my job,just wanted to do it). The sales rep pulled the PC from underneath the desk, took the side cover off, removed the old ram and put the new one in.If sales can do it, I'm confident anyone in CompSci should be able to do so as well.

Why? It's about as related to CompSci as doing field-expedient surgery is to Psychology.
There are going to be Autopilot crashes and people should disable it if they uncomfortable with putting their lives in the hands of Tesla's software. I would be. But I see no reason to not believe to not believe what they have on https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

It shows Teslas have much fewer accidents than the average car, and that Teslas with autopilot enabled are substantially safe per mile than with autopilot disabled (25-50% more miles driven per accident).

The article says a Prius hit the same place as this Tesla the week before. But the NTSB isn't investigating Toyota.
Not everyone wants to live in a dense population.
> Anyone who has driven with autopilot, how quickly might it react to a perceived obstacle?

Faster than me, sometimes. There was one time when I was driving through southern Illinois and some idiot decided to cross the highway. I was passing a semi, who was in the right lane, and doing around 10mph faster than him.

The car starts flipping out, beeping and flashing red. I see a car that apparently appeared out of no where, perpendicular to me and pulling across the highway. She had made it — barely — in front of the semi, but didn’t see me.

The car saw her before I did. I think it was because of the radar. But whatever, it braked hard and I barely missed her.

Saved my ass.
I find insert/chip is much slower because I have to leave the card in the device and pay close attention to the screen to figure out when I'm allowed to remove it. With a swipe pulling my card out, swiping, putting card can in wallet is a single action.
When I was a kid - this was quite a few years ago - I had some older relatives who refused to wear a seat belt. Being somewhat of a brat, I asked them why. They answered like this:

"If I get in a wreck, I don't want to be trapped in the car. I want to be thrown clear!"
My comment was in the context of OP's video. The Youtube description of that video states, "I sat down to talk with Damien Riehl and Noah Rubin about their project to copyright every possible melody." (emphasis added)

The video shows that the authors wrote a program to enumerate every possible melody up to a certain size, possibly narrowed by some criteria. A list like that should be as entitled to copyright protection as a list of the first million prime numbers.

Where an algorithm is used as a tool for creativity, I agree that the resulting work should be copyrightable because an algorithm can be like a brush in the hands of an artist. Here, however, that is not the case because the algorithm used simply lists all melodic possibilities and there is no creative input whatsoever.
The mortality rate, as calculated by trivial formula, has stayed close to 2% for a couple of weeks now.
The 'staging' area is implemented through the index. And the index is used for more things then just deciding what gets in the next commit. A lot of gits speed comes from caching Stat data of files so that it does not have to hash the complete working tree for each operation. That's not something you can just ignore.

Someone proposed splitting this up the other day, but even that would come at the cost of performance and an increase of complexity.
So basically, if I understand correctly, the ends justify the means.

He was an unstoppable monster who could only be brought down by lying about him, and everyone in on the conspiracy should be hailed as heroes.
I think it comes down to who publishes it. If someone posts it on their blog, then it’s technically them writing it.

That’s oversimplified. If the falsely predicted branch issues a load instruction for example, you might use up valuable memory bandwidth, trash cache lines, etc. There are way more side effects that can make false branch predictions more expensive. It’s also extremely microarchitecture dependent, proprietary and undocumented what exactly happens, which is why we need to benchmark the actual code under consideration.
That would be all speeds. The worst case is that the computer doesn’t recognize an object as being on a collision path until after impact is imminent, which could be due to the object being filtered out as rain, classified as vegetation, improper predicted trajectory... any time you set up rules for self driving cars, things get very fuzzy very fast.

Teslas are more expensive than the average car (hence might be driven more carefully), and autopilot is more likely to be enabled in predictable driving environments like highways.
Tesla publishes their safety numbers in terms of accidents per x millions of miles driven. If you believe their numbers then Autopilot in its current configuration is clearly safer than a purely human operated vehicle. Having driven on Autopilot for about 85% of the total time I’ve spent in a Tesla, its been a life changer. But obviously YMMV.

It really sucks that this specific interchange has cost so many lives - and it’s apparent that there’s some frailty of the code that makes autopilot vehicles more susceptible.

In general when it comes to crashes on Autopilot, it’s important to keep perspective. If you take your hands off the wheel and look at your phone for 6 seconds in any other car you’re going to have a bad time. On Autopilot, it took a confluence of bad road design, poor road maintenance, and an unlikely software fault to initiate a crash.
It's not just ORM. Many NoSQL databases allow for real-time events (query subscriptions), a simple security model, built-in data versioning, built-in sharding. You rarely get any of that out-of-the-box for a traditional RDS.
I agree that it should be improving. I don't think that said improvements should be so dramatic that they are easily perceived by humans, for that implies that the shortcomings are perceivable.
You're missing the point. The family does not know this nor do they have access to this data which would be extremely useful in determining what their legal options are.
Which version of awk did you benchmark though? Mawk is pretty fast, for bread-and-butter awk stuff often significantly faster than perl. E.g.

perl -anE 'say($F[0]) if /error/' big.log >/dev/null 0.85s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.867 total

mawk '/error/ {print $1}' big.log > /dev/null 0.21s user 0.03s system 99% cpu 0.246 total
When it disengages itself it issues a series of loud tones and the display flashes red. A message also appears saying “TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY”.

In cases where the driver takes over, there is audial, visual, and tactile feedback letting you know it has been successfully disengaged.
> Yeah, except for one massive pitfall that student loans have and ISAs don't: With ISAs you only start to pay once you actually start making money

That's not that different from federal student loans, since those all have income-contingent repayment plans (as well as pay as you earn, revised pay as you earn, and income-based, which are generally similar but have different repayment formulas) available. It mainly differs in the reduced flexibility with the ISA.

> If the graduates of the Lambda school don't land jobs then the school doesn't get paid.

ISAs are marketable assets and can be sold even while the student is still in the program, and the school gets paid by selling the asset. The new holder of the asset doesn't get paid if the student doesn't make money.
Do you know about git worktree? Because that sounds exactly what you want. Each worktree has its own index (staging area) and working tree.
I think these are your options:

1. You do not care about the company (Looks like this is not the case here):
a. You have no emotion towards the company and your work doesn't get affected for the foreseeable future.
b. You have no interest in the area and want to stay away from it.

2. Educate them how to do it right (You love the current company): You are in the company for long time and/or you know the people will take it in right spirit!
a. It is possible to convince the managers!
b. "dedicated colleagues" might be of help here.

3. Say goodbye:
a. You see that they are doing it in the wrong way. Managers won't / dint consider your opinion.
b. Your career gets affected by it.

4. They might be right:
a. They might be right either technically or to get some funds. Finding out which one might be useful.

Unless you have more details to share about the company, I think you are the best judge which path to choose.

Overall, I feel it is not worth putting effort in educating them unless you know its taken positively and your growth in the company isn't affected. In other words, do you feel it is "worth investing your life" for? There is always a new company where you could be more happy about your career is what I feel!
A what card? Credit cards essentially do not exist in France.

Traditional French banks have a penchant for issuing debit cards with monthly fees and low daily, weekly (!) and monthly (!) limits.

I had a HSBC business account where I had to pay 45EU a month to lift the 300EU per week limitation.

Likewise, French banks refuse to issue chargebacks. The last time I tried, I was told to lodge a police complaint for theft to take the unknown entity who hit my card to .. court ..?

N26 etc have been a breath of fresh air in France.
I like the idea of super cruise -- it seems like a lidar scan of the freeway would have prevented Huang's death. But, obviously the freeway changes over time so I wonder how frequently GM re-scans the freeways. Lidar is expensive of course, but it also seems so obvious that the lidar needs to be onboard the vehicle.
What year is your Subaru? My understanding was that early versions of the eyesight system were pretty bad, but they fixed a lot of the kinks in recent versions. It would be disappointing to learn that wasn’t the case...

Call it speculation, but most people don’t really want all the consequences that come with the distinct lack of it in the US. Especially when you consider the economic effects of walkable areas.
Another option would be a convention to add a tag that the article is paywalled.
That's not the mortality rate but the ratio against overall deaths. it says: "The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza is 7.1%, below the epidemic threshold of 7.2%."
> Static branch prediction isn't found on any major architectures, right?

All major AMD and Intel processors do static branch prediction.
You could have hormetic effects from psychological stressors as well.

What's actually happening, if I understand it correctly, is that when you setup Apple Pay you essentially get a _second_ card issued to you for that account that otherwise works just like a normal card but is only used by Apple Pay. It's still your card, still stored on the device, and still shared with merchants. If it wasn't you couldn't actually spend money with it.

Hopefully your bank has fraud controls on it to prevent it from being used outside of the way Apple Pay does (which requires your phone or a physical card so prevents theft) but that's not required and without it there is nothing stopping the card from being used like any other.
This kind of thing makes me think software engineering should require an actual accreditation like a formal engineering job does.
I would look at those numbers again. It seems to be the percentage of all deaths.

Based on National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance data available on February 6, 2020, 7.1% of the deaths occurring during the week ending January 25, 2020 (week 4) were due to P&I. This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 7.2% for week 4.

If you like, every year the flu is a low-level "pandemic" of a relative sort. It goes almost unnoticed like antibiotic/antimycotic-resistant pathogens that are rapidly becoming untreatable due to a combination of factors including over-prescription, meat agriculture, human over-population and low-cost travel.

Oddly enough, I used to work at a biomedical informatics department where one of the projects used commercial data from retail stores to predict and identify bioweapon exposure and pandemics from people buying OTC remedies and prescriptions.
This is true, but there’s no rolling back history. We’re quite locked in to our current situation and the best we can do is work within the constraints that have been established.
I own a 2019 Forrester with EyeSight. While I dont hate it, and I like the adaptive cruise, I'm curious..

How exactly do you easily override the crash detection logic? I've had it slam on the brakes spuriously due to steam from manhole vents, and short of disabling the feature (which cant be done in a way that sticks between starts) I dont know how I would avoid this behavior, particularly easily.
Yes, it's not "creative" so shouldn't be protected by copyright, but still points at a legal problem; we're entering a time in which AI can generate human-level music with as much or as little user input as the user wants, so how can we determine who owns the copyrights if we don't know how much "creativity" was actually involved? (And AI music generation is far easier than AI writing fiction or drawing, though AI is certainly going to come for those too.)

Perhaps there will be only two ways to handle it: 1) Case by case when people file lawsuits or 2) no more copyrightable music? No idea, but we're going to have to figure it out soon...
