You know, it’s almost like we’d benefit from having an autopilot system. I mean, think about it: people drive drunk, or tired, or get in fights with their mom on the phone, or have a crying baby demanding attention, or any number of other things like that.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had something to help with that? Like, it doesn’t even have to do everything, just most of it, and keep you from running into shit.

That would be awesome, wouldn’t it?

Yeah, that exists. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than what we had before, which was nothing.

Besides IF the eco friendly people wanted to be green why dont they use the most energy dense fuels on the planet?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#Tables_of_energ...

Energy density is a security risk, plain and simple, so just like your smart phone battery or laptop battery is a plastic explosive if heated above 60 degrees C, the use of nuclear fuel and engines are a security risk from natives going wild and foreign powers attacking with missiles.

Nuclear powered aircraft has been tried before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion

Unfortunately, the weight and size of the nuclear engine using 1940's/1950's technology made it unfeasible, but more recent developments and testing in submarines and more recently the US embassy in London as a building example, the potential for a slimmed down lighter nuclear engine for more common uses is becoming viable. However battery technology notably using graphene instead of lithium will be a seismic shift in energy storage by an order of magnitude, so I would expect to see electricity infrastructure upgrades first before the next gen graphene batterys hit the market with week long lifespans when a day used to be consider good.
> Humans are somehow imbued with a magic property that allows them to watch read WH40K books, alien and predator movies, then produce the Starcraft universe, and have it count as original work.

I feel like this is speculation. Do you have any citations? It seems to me that in this fuzzy area an AI will be judged identically to a human. While you give an example where he StarCraft universe is created and considered original work. There are many cases where a human learns their craft from copyright work, and creates a derived work, fanfic is a huge genre of example. I suspect that in the legal arena the nature and content of the new work will be far more influential in the status of the copyright, than the details of how the new work was created.

So, while I think it's likely that something that is generated by an AI that looks like original work will be considered original work. I think a question that is less clear, and much more important is if the AI itself would be considered a derived work. In some ways, it can be argued that an AI is a transformation of the original representation, and that substantial portions of the original work are/can be maintained within the AI itself, just how a work can be transformed by a compressor, but still be considered to maintain the copyright. However afaik this question likely remains still untested.

IANAL and all.

The responses you'd get would likely be due to PTSD induced by interacting with the very rational and scientifically-minded profit-maximizing medical industry, and/or incompetent physicians unable to provide an effective relief for the underlying condition.

Try out this some time: try to reduce stigma around various disorders instead of suggesting running nonconsensual unethical experiments, bordering on sociopathy, on those suffering from difficult to treat disorders.

It's not difficult - most distros have email servers you just install. Most of those use that same email server internally for their mailing lists. It's not much harder (or easier) than setting up any other server.

GMail does not classify an "own email server" as source of spam. Quite apart from anything else how would it know it's an "own email server" as opposed to some companies email server or even a distro email server. They all user the same code.

To get your email server classified as a spammer you have to send spam (mostly). That won't happen if it is just forwarding emails you create, but if it is the work horse behind an email list server or something most of what the list will see is spam and not relaying that to GMail or something becomes very hard indeed.

The reason for the (mostly) above is occasionally somebody will have finger trouble and mark some good email coming for your server as spam. As it happens GMail seems fairly immune to this problem. I guess they must need quite a few people to do make it before it kicks in. Microsoft's servers seem to make the mistake occasionally, and some middle wear boxes can be bloody horrible about it. Fortunately they all seem to provide web pages to fix their mistake you just have to find it.

Not the OP, but I'm guessing that Syzygies is Professor David Allen Bayer. [0][1]

>Bayer was a mathematics consultant for the film A Beautiful Mind, the biopic of John Nash,

"Syzygies" appears to be a reference to a construct in abstract algebra. [2][3]

Dave Bayer is referenced on the version of the Wikipedia page Erdős–Bacon number dated 03:25, 9 February 2013. [4]

>For a time, the person with the lowest known Erdős–Bacon number was Dave Bayer, mathematical consultant to A Beautiful Mind who was on screen in a minor role in the movie. Rance Howard was also in A Beautiful Mind and in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon to give Bayer a Bacon number of 2. Bayer wrote a paper with Persi Diaconis, who has an Erdős number of 1 due to a jointly authored 1977 Stanford University technical report, later published in a 2004 compilation. As such, Bayer's Erdős–Bacon number is 4. ...

But there is a tsunami of deletions [5] by Wikipedia User:Cresix [6] on that day, and the text above plus a table that references Dave Bayer is gone.

> 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.

Which is why you don't do it in any other car. I don't know much about autopilot, but because we as humans don't know when it can go wrong, it's easier to get it into situations it wasn't designed for. This is not true for the 6 seconds any other car scenario as we will be predicting what the steering wheel and traffic in front of us might do.
That would be a very valuable number. What is the actual number of people that need to be hospitalized for this virus vs other epidemics?
Within my field, it looks like science twitter is useful, but only up to a limit. The primary use derived from it is a list I found myself added to. It actually contained people who were only peripherally related to the research I do, but meant that there was great diversity in the papers that were promoted in the feed - not all relevant, but at least interesting.

A second use is a signalling factor that you are active in the field - really an exercise in building brand.

Finally, there are probably two people who actively engage in discussion on Twitter (from my field). This doesn't happen more often because scientific review is a subtle beast, and doing it in the open with 280 chars, as quickly as possible on a phone isn't conducive to constructive feedback. In fact, I've got a number of draft tweets initiating discussions that I didn't end up sending because it just felt plain rude to review in that manner!
Windows 95 had hard bevelled edges. Neumorphism has the opposite.

assuming those numbers hold when scaled up, you are compressing the actual distribution into a single number (an average). Overall that high-level number may be correct.

But at the same time, the kinds of people that get into accidents will be a different distribution.

How you drive factors a lot into how likely you are into getting in an accident, even allowing for the other drivers.

If the distribution becomes essentially random then you might actually have a higher chance of getting into an accident than before, if you were a very careful driver.

(Obviously those that benefit the most are the bad drivers since they'll no longer be bad)

Just remember that whenever you summarize a distribution into a single number like an average, you loose a lot of information in the process.
I'd be careful to compare those numbers - some sort of confirmation bias. AP is only used in "AP-easy situations" the harder to drive parts are steered by the human driver.
So what if media outlets charge money for good journalism? Move on.

I avoid new technology, exactly because I'm an engineer.

I wonder if that is just me, but when new technology is introduced and hyped, I usually take a quick look at implementations, research, and talks just to get an idea of what the state of the art really is like.

As a result, I have become the late adopter among my group of friends because the first iteration of any new technology usually just isn't worth the issues.

You know this effect when you open a new book and immediately spot a typo? I felt that way looking at state of the art AI vision papers.

The first paper would crash, despite me using the same GPU as the authors. Turns out they got incredibly lucky not to trigger a driver bug causing random calculation errors.

The second paper converted float to bool and then tried to use the gradient for training. That's just plain mathematically wrong, a step function doesn't have a non-zero gradient.

The third paper only used a 3x3 pixel neighborhood for learning long-distance moves. Doesn't work, I cannot learn about New York by waking around in my bathroom.

That gave me the gut feeling that most people doing the research were lacking the necessary mathematical background. AI is stochastical gradient descent optimization, after all.

Thanks to TensorFlow, it is nowadays easy to try out other people's AI. So I took some photos of my road and put them through the state of the art computer visible AIs trained with KITTY, a self-driving car dataset of German roads. All of them couldn't even track the wall of the house correctly.

So now I'm afraid to use anything self-driving ^_^

Which is what it was designed for and which is a much easier problem to solve than inner-city driving.

Which IMO I feel like more self-driving companies should have focused on first to perfect their systems. We used feature phones before smartphones for a reason, hardware/software is best developed incrementally.

Woah, chillax the dramatic rhetoric, your majesty. ;-P

The original scrappy Google was founded on commodity hardware held together by LEGO. The point was to not do as enterprise with redundant everything, which was wasteful for web-serving use-cases that were solved with better high-availability in software. These days, if you're a giant company like FAANG, you can easily afford to go to Quanta and say: give me 10k racks worth of compute nodes to this specification. If you're starting out and broke, you gotta use what's on the shelf, cobble together a custom solution optimized for the purpose and/or kit out a test lab with a mis-mash of used servers from eBay.
Your claim relies entirely on the veracity of Tesla's safety report. Unfortunately I am inclined to mistrust any such vehicle safety claims directly from Tesla's own website. There is a conflict of interest in that they are incentivized to publish the most favorable numbers. We should be rightly cynical and rely only on numbers from an independent third party, as we would normally do for other companies with a less favorable reputation. Until we have such independently verified stats, we can't take those claims at face value.

I agree that anyone who feels uncomfortable with Tesla's ADAS should simply turn it off. But don't you think it's unfair for the company to place an unfinished product in the hands of a consumer and pass off the risk-management responsibility to them? Tesla's cavalier attitude towards autonomous vehicle safety is concerning to me. They seem to adopt the "move fast and break things" approach, whereas teams like Waymo and Cruise are releasing things in a slower and more controlled manner. And not coincidentally, they've have far less accidents that way.

I think this is a great idea. It’d stop me from constantly clicking on items that I can’t read, without affecting the discourse on HN.
One of the huge advantages about working remotely is that no one else can see my emotions. That way, when I'm angry or upset, it won't upset or anger anyone else unless I express it in chat or another medium. It's much easier to not express the frustration, anger, hopelessness, and other emotions that the job inevitably leads to. If work still insisted, I would in most cases lie. I don't see any reason they should insist. Or any reason that they wouldn't be aware of how they are treating their employees. In my case, I stopped giving a fuck years ago, when I realized that no matter how well or poorly I preform, I will not be rewarded in any tangible manner for it. Now I do the bare minimum. I bet a majority of workers are in this boat and likewise don't want someone pestering them about their emotions. I'm making less, inflation adjusted, than I was when I started six years ago and motherfucking management knows it. Why bother to ask when they know I feel unvalued, unappreciated, and frankly like I don't give a fuck about them, their projects, or their fucking deadlines. As you can see, there's a reason to not ask for this information.

Another reason is because it's none of their fucking business. I'm here to work, not to get therapy. I have a therapist with whom I can share things. With work, I will lie unless I see an advantage to not doing so and I'm sure most everyone else will too.

Tesla has some blame in this for sure but Caltrans (maintainers of the 101) are equally if not more to blame.

California is rich in capital but so poor infrastructure. Moving here from South Carolina(where taxes are much lower and roads are paltry) I was shocked at how dismal a state many of the roads are and at the sheer amount of time it takes to complete.

Patrick Collison of Stripe actually wrote a blog piece(1) condemning SF for their lack of speed when it comes to road maintenance.

There is no end in sight. Until we we a nation hold our governments accountable for road maintenance and proper engineering we will never have any great resolution.

Optimistically; maybe everybody is hiding their 'secret sauce'. But I expect you're probably right.
I think you should not fixate on other startup's being present in the areas you are interested in. You might bring in different perspective to the problem they are trying to solve also once you start getting customer feedback it might shape the product differently than the way other startup's are tackling it or even the way you thought it ought to be. In short go for it.
Very true. Tesla has done a lot to try and make it clear to drivers that they must remain vigilant - in this particular case it sounds like the driver ignored several auditory tactile warnings to resume control of the vehicle, in addition to the standard warnings when Autopilot is activated. Short of changing the name I think they’ve done everything they can to manage expectations for Autopilot once you’re in the car, but humans don’t always work like that.
