No one is saying AP should be the safest thing ever, my comment certainly isn't saying that AP should be some sorr of super-human driver

The problem is AP is actively making itself less safe than it would be without marketing oriented features even with no additional strengths.

AP could the same collision avoidance and lane centering capabilities, but not allow the driver to engage them in "Autopilot" style. That's exactly what the AP1 hardware did in other cars.

AP would still avoid every accident it could before, but now additionally not kill people when it fails to uphold the very strongly implied (even if legally disclaimed) promises it's marketing and creator love to make.

-

AP has a set of convenience features and safety features.

The convenience features all come with the disclaimer that the human must be attentive at all times while they're engaged.

And in cases where the human is not full engaged because they're placing too much trust in the convenience features, suddenly the convenience features are creating a less safe situation than if the driver did not have them at all, since the driver is now driving distracted.

The safety features cannot close the gap between a distracted driver and a non-distracted driver, that's why they're not seld-driving cars.

-

Or to put it another way, good enough is good enough for the safety features. But "good enough" is actually the most dangerous level of the convenience features, since they lull operators into a false sense of security with deadly consequences.

That's why Google abandoned their equivalent project (which Elon spoke to them about before developing AP. Google's project was called... Autopilot).

It was demonstrated that giving drivers that sort of "good-enough" convenience feature would be encouraging distracted behavior. But that didn't stop Elon.

-

In fact, thinking about it, how sad is that? Google used cameras in their vehicle in conjunction with AP features and proved that people would misuse the system.

Knowing that Elon was in contact with them about the program, isn't it such an odd coincidence that Elon has pushed back on driver monitoring?

It's almost like he knows exactly what it would reveal, but doesn't want to invite the trouble that comes with tracking such an inconvenient truth.
DRIVER_READING_NEWSPAPER

I saw it on a highway. The driver had a 9 columns newspaper open on the steering wheel, hopefully hands on the wheel. Probably at least 130 km/h. It was before the web.
Ok so who is going to fix this spot then?
Yes, but what you describe only happens if you try to access the TLS variables directly. If I put all the TLS variable in a .so file, and only access them through getter/setter functions (also part of the .so), can compiler optimisations still screw things up? It seems to me that unless there is some runtime optimisation going on, this method should be safe.

Long-term Health Consequences of Covid-19
I believe we lacked the epistemological and statistical techniques to do good medicine until really late. In fact, computer science may precede modern medicine. It's a close thing, in either case.
That Wikipedia entry is quite a mess. At least they have the good grace to admit it.

But it's not so bad as the ones that insist on calling people who never claimed to be scientists "pseudoscientists", defended against all factual correction that goes against their prejudices.
> Chevron insists that Texaco is only responsible for a portion of the damage, has "already cleaned up its share" and attributes any remaining pollution to Ecuador's state-owned national oil company. The government of Ecuador has been clear, in turn, that Chevron is liable for all of the damage.

It's not up to Chevron to decide whether they are liable to clean this pollution.
> In 2001, Chevron acquired Texaco, including all of its assets and civil liabilities.

Are you incapable of understanding those words?
If you were one of the people who thought this was talking about Amazon the eCommerce site as opposed to the actual Amazon, welcome to the new world order.

Edit: I mean just from reading the title but I guess this post didn't land well. Oh well.
I know canny from clickup. It's a public feedback forum where users can request or upvote features/bugs. Intuitive thing I found is that you get notified by email whenever features you upvoted for gets implemented.
Ooh - actually this is making sense. “Swipe to unlock” on older phones seems to be along these lines
Looks good. But one problem is that it uses decorators which are still stage-2. I'd have serious reservations on using experimental features in production.

You could promote a decorator-less API on the homepage until it's part of the spec.

You gotta earn it with a cat.

Dogs are for people that need the reassurance of the unconditional love

Cats are for people who have the kind of levels of self-confidence that makes the unconditional love of a dog both suffocatingly annoying and suspicious.
Amusingly, the high you get from spicy food is supposedly similar (I've only read this on the Internet where everyone ultimately links back to a source that isn't particularly authoritative).
The article is between imprecise to wrong. A box above the respective paragraph says so. Article 2 contains said exceptions, but limits them to "member states" and "competent authorities. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02...

So only a government office would be exempt in those matters, not a private organisation, except when seen as performing a government function. That is somewhat up to interpretation, so maybe, maybe not.
They should have thought about that before acquiring Texaco's liabilities. And I bet they have - you can bet this refusal was calculated into the acquisition.
Read up on banana republics.
This was me when our online meetings exploded and I had to record a ton of metrics manually without any prep or software. Now there is this digusting, VBA-augmented excel sheet with a million hacks being read by the c-levels to make very important changes by. I can't vouch for a single cell being accurate at this point. Even the few automatic metrics from the meeting software are misleading from the get go, but then they meet my black-box of doom.

That's effectively what ReMarkable is trying to achieve with its Read-On-Remarkable[1] extension to send web content to your e-reader.

Now their reading software is currently much maligned (unlike the writing part which is apparently best-in-class), but if they improve things a little then it could also be a good solution.

Of course print as PDF and send to any e-reader is also an option that doesn't involve printing paper.

Cool idea though, I do find myself not bothering to save longer form content for reading later. I was hoping ReMarkable might help me in that.

As a data engineer, I think blaming Excel for this is the wrong framing. The real problem here is with the entire process, and specifically, the lack of testing.

Excel is great for many use cases, especially if you need people to enter data somewhere. Its UI is unparalleled in terms of quickly giving something to users that they can understand, mess around with, and verify. It's a very common use case to then need to pull in data from a bunch of Excel files, into one main repository of data (a data warehouse). That can be stored in an Excel file, although more commonly would be stored in a database.

But there are always problems with this process! There can be missing data, there can be weird data conversions because the program/language you're using to parse the data and get it into the database reads things differently than how Excel intended, there can be weird database issues that causes data loss, etc.

Complex systems always, always have bugs.

It is the job of a data engineering team to, among other things, test the systems thoroughly, and put in place systems to test against data loss, etc. It is pretty common, for example, to count the data going into a pipeline, and the data that you end up with, and make sure nothing was lost on the way.

Anyone can make a mistake. Any team, no matter how good, especially when they're rushed, can use shortcuts, use the wrong technologies because it's expedient, or simply have bugs. It is the job of the team, and of project management in general, to do all the manual and automatic testing necessary to make sure that mistakes are caught.

The real lesson isn't "Excel is bad". It's not. It's an amazing tool. The real lesson is "Data Engineering is hard, requires a lot of resources", and "all systems have bugs - testing is mandatory for any critical system".
What difference does that make? You can't just sell your company to another company and have the liabilities disappear. Imagine how many more mergers we would have exploiting this loophole.
I have never been able to get a firm grasp of what is going on here, but my understanding is that Ecuador nationalized the oilfields. Why would they not get the liabilities that went with it according to however that nationalization arrangement was generated? That is what Chevron claims.

Chevron's recent conduct has been and continues to be as thoroughly reprehensible as any I have heard of by any corporation.

Hounding the plaintiffs' lawyer into prison is dirty, dirty, dirty. Judges cooperating in Chevron's activities are even worse.
To be fair: .NET (Framework) was not fast in the past. It was not. It was really slow. It was exclusively on Windows, IIS, some worker module, piped through a Webforms optimized System.Web dll and most of that code not optimized for memory usage etc.

But that is over with modern .NET Core. Nothing of above is valid anymore and the result is wicked fast as your link shows as evidence.
Doctors and nurses do it every day, to protect patients and themselves.

There's no reason everyone else who deals with sick people all day long can't do the same.

I've been wearing a mask at all times when indoors or near people outdoors, and I don't see a reason to stop doing that after Covid is no longer a factor.
It is up to a court in a country where they have assets and all those courts have ruled in favour of Chevron.

I don't understand why that's a different thing. I have some speakers in my kitchen that I use from my phone. They also have a quarter inch input jack. I mean, why wouldn't they?
Really? I never would have guessed. It’s probably different for other accents, but with an Australian accent a word spelled like that would never be pronounced like “cocoon”.

Operating Systems Written in FPC (FreePascal, a Delphi-Like Compiler)
My opinion is they should be forced not only to clean up that particular disaster but also a few others just for trying to put their greedy capitalist wishes above the environmental situation.

Cleaning up those things is certainly a better use of money than buying more cars for CEOs.
You would not get that impression even reading the first two paragraphs of the article.
I'm not seeing anything particularly insightful in regards to Chaos Engineering with Healthcare. None of the unique challenges or strengths in the Healthcare domain are covered. Few industries have the baked-in resilience to systems failures that the Healthcare industry possess. EMR down? Move to paper for arrivals. MPI offline? Here are some pre-allocated IDs and paper forms to fill out.

Healthcare providers have a different measure for criticality. Merely slow, merely down - these can increase patient or financial risk, but they are generally manageable in the frame of reference of an outage. There are always manual workflows for these. Corruption of a handful of patient records due to an interpretation of an obscure standard? That is a major risk and will unleash real chaos.
The applicable law didn't take effect until the Clinton administration....

So it would have applied to Sauverin but not to your siblings.
I'm trying to find out what the "other side" perspective could be here, since this piece is clearly written with an agenda (possibly a just one!). There's some hint to it in this paragraph:

Chevron insists that Texaco is only responsible for a portion of the damage, has "already cleaned up its share" and attributes any remaining pollution to Ecuador's state-owned national oil company. The government of Ecuador has been clear, in turn, that Chevron is liable for all of the damage.

Anyone know more detail?
The page presenting the article (and used as an example) doesn't use the same technique as mentioned in the article!
Maybe it uses a supercomputer to simulate the incoming tide and decide how much water to let in before raising the gate? It seems odd that they'd need more computation power than a tide table and an associated lookup table of setpoints, though.

Hey, don't worry, big companies will be way easier to nationalize. Then we will have an apple store on every block!
DRM will ruin it.
"Mostly Windows" is a limited view. Most modern .NET developments end up in a docker/kubernetes Linux container. In the first year of .NET Core some shops did Windows deployments but now, that is long gone.

But I agree. .NET will not replace Java or any other serious language.
These people want to trademark QAnon to cash in on novelty hats
Chevron's argument as far as I can tell is that the Government of Ecuador already settled with Texaco on this.

The most neutral article I found on it.

No, it demonstrates the effect of government subsidies for electric cars in Germany.

Electric car owners don’t pay car taxes for the next 10 years in Germany.

And many cars are even eligible for a $10.000 discount.

Of course, people buy new electric cars given these factors.

The interesting thing is that this means that used electric cars hardly find their buyers in Germany.
There's a library: https://sumtypes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It's serviceable, and even does static checking of total coverage of cases. I will say that it makes linters freak out.

There isn't any more ambiguity here. ExxonMobil is knowingly pursuing a course of action that trades our collective interests for its own profit. At what point do we start considering that to be a violation of the social contract and a criminal act?
How about if an engineer founds a startup and dictates that this is how it'll be done there, and the startup ends up succeeding? That would fit your second scenario: "an engineer who agrees who by luck or skill gains extraordinary power, implements this new power structure". I think we have seen cases of engineer founders who were in a position to do that kind of thing.

The blog post links to a story about Larry Page "firing" all the project managers; while they didn't exit the company, they were moved to another organization, and it seems Page got his wish of "no managers" in his organization for some time, until there were problems and complaints and "eventually" they started hiring more managers. If he had a fully workable approach in mind, it seems he could have implemented it for long enough to demonstrate its success.
> It would be tough for me to care about fixing an acquired company’s past deeds.

When you buy a company, you get everything that comes with it, good or bad. That's a major part of due diligence in mergers and acquisitions. Doesn't matter if you didn't know about it, it's still your responsibility once you own the company.
Thanks for that.

Nuts on the battery life. Yeah, I'm not too fussed on the apps though, because I did want to write my own in Rust.

Ok, will wait it out a bit longer :)

> The problem is AP is actively making itself less safe than it would be without marketing oriented features even with no additional strengths.

That's a shame but I'm not going to worry all that much about it killing people if it's still safer than a basic car.

> Or to put it another way, good enough is good enough for the safety features. But "good enough" is actually the most dangerous level of the convenience features, since they lull operators into a false sense of security with deadly consequences.

No. We were talking about the final level of safety after factoring in the hubris-caused danger. The level of safety before factoring in hubris was much better than "good enough".
This should be literally nailed into everyones head

No, it should be treated as a matter of subjective opinion, because that's what it is. They can take their "research" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. It simply does not apply to everyone, no matter how much the "researchers" wish it did.

Never mind that I actively prefer wide columns, there's also the fact that I didn't spend $2000 for a monitor so I could look at 80% empty space.

While I'm only interested in an open source solution, the YAML formatting they are using is almost exactly the style I was looking for. That would be a huge improvement to the current tooling available. I didn't see anything though, without signing up, that indicates that this would work well for mindmapping as well and implementing features like summaries:

While this article's content isn't exactly wrong, the Wikipedia on "Identical ancestors point" gives some important context for what's actually being asserted:

All living people share exactly the same set of ancestors from this point back, all the way to the very first single-celled organism. However, people will vary widely in how much ancestry and genes they inherit from each ancestor, which will cause them to have very different genotypes and phenotypes.

This is illustrated in the 2003 simulation as follows: Considering the ancestral populations alive at 5000 BC, close to the ACA point, a modern day Japanese person will get 88.4% of his ancestry from Japan, and most of the remainder from China or Korea, with only 0.00049% traced to Norway; conversely, a modern-day Norwegian will get over 92% of his ancestry from Norway (or over 96% from Scandinavia) and only 0.00044% from Japan. Thus, even though the Norwegian and Japanese person share the same set of ancestors, these ancestors appear in their family tree in dramatically different proportions.

A Japanese person in 5000 BC with present-day descendants will likely appear trillions of times in a modern day Japanese person's family tree, but might appear only one time in a Norwegian person's family tree. A 5000 BC Norwegian person will similarly appear far more times in a typical Norwegian person's family tree than he will appear in a Japanese person's family tree.
