BB1 was the game I actually had in mind. Since you had a video rental store, you might've had a location actually suited for it, but for the rest of us kids, it was a tall order to find another friend who had:

- Another PSX

- Another copy of Bushido Blade

- A spare TV that they could bring over

- A room big enough to have two TVs and consoles setup within a few feet of each other so that the cable could reach.

After taking the time to set all that up, simply playing the game in POV mode felt like a disappointment.

But I agree, Bushido Blade 1 was the superior entry. BB2 fell into the common trap of "fix up the kinks and 'polish' the sequel, but lose what made the original feel special along the way". The other thing that most people don't know is that while each character can technically wield any of the weapons, everyone has a preferred weapon, and wielding it unlocks unique moves for that character. This wasn't mentioned in the manual, nor in any of the online FAQs back in the day, so unless you had shelled out for the Strategy Guide, that whole dimension of combat was unknown to most people.

The original developer behind Bushido Blade went on to make the "Kengo: Master of Bushido" series, which was something of a spiritual successor, but IMO all of them were garbage. The closest thing it ever got in my mind was the original Way of the Samurai for the PS2 (another game which got a bunch of sequels, all significantly worse than the original).

I've been using ReviewMeta to assist identifying the "real" reviews and learning the unadulterated score. I don't know if it handles "bait-and-switch" as mentioned in TFA, but it's steered me away from a lot of products that seemed reasonable based solely on reviews. I especially like that it can recognize false bad reviews which are often left by competitors.

How far do we think human drivers' safety level ranges? Like most drivers I'm falsely convinced I'm a safer driver than most, but still I expect quite a large range (say a factor 10 between 10th and 90th percentile?). It seems reasonable for self-driving cars to be expected to improve safety over human driving for the large majority of drivers, not just half of them.

My understanding was always that AZ had capacity to produce many billions of doses by year (2021) end, and already had a large supply ready to go: is it possible that “first week of January” is referring specifically to the number of doses that can be administered by then which is limited by more than supply? Distribution, appointments etc. And if so, could we see the second week of January jump substantially? Access to just 500k doses would be a significant shift from the expectations that have been shared so far.

The difference here is that this is not formally a Google project the way Wave, G+, etc were. This is just someone's hobby that incidentally Google owns the copyright to because tech companies treat engineers like glorified slaves when it comes to intellectual property.

Google kills social projects they run, but since they don't run this one, I don't see them interfering. Their ownership is just a technicality because of stone age IP law.

Would this baseline include all the accidents from distracted drivers, drunk drivers, drug drivers etc.? Or is it referring to an average human driver who isn't intentionally breaking the law?

If the baseline includes all these sorts of human error, I see no issue with holding robots to a higher standard. Imagine if we rolled out robot policemen who only executed black people for no reason at the same rate as humans do.
Galcon 2 seems to be a real-time alternative ; not sure if it would match your expectations.
I think the point here is that Facebook are allowed to process data under the legal basis of 'performance of a contract' rather than 'consent'.

This means that a Facebook user cannot both use the service and require Facebook not to process their personal data by refusing to provide consent.

My understanding is that where you rely on consent, you are not allowed to refuse to offer the service based on refusal to provide consent, otherwise consent is not considered to be 'freely given'.

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out, because the link says 'Consent isn’t freely given [...] when a business/organisation requires individuals to consent to the processing of unnecessary personal data as a pre-condition to fulfil a contract or service.'
(My view) Certainly anything that could load and run arbitrary code in the absence of artificial constraints. That is, I don't care about the processor running my kitchen timer, because it's fixed-purpose and couldn't run anything else without replacing physical memory chips (and even then it's iffy). On the other hand, the Switch is designed with the ability to download and run arbitrary code from cartridges or the internet, and the only reason I can't run my own code is because Nintendo blocks me from doing so, and that is objectionable.
I was just seeing something like this the other day on US Amazon. I was looking at 'nano tape' to stick some stuff in place. And came across the top reviewed one, with 11k reviews [1] but all of the reviews are for a guitar wall mount. I was very confused as to how they achieved it.

I find it weird that nobody seems to talk about the national security implications of self-driving cars. Imagine the Russian cyber attack we just experienced happening on millions of self-driving cars...
>This sounds a lot like the usual moving of goalposts whereby "anything computers can do isn't AI, so AI doesn't work".

Well, it's also useful to establish a concrete definition of what is AI, and what is to be expected of it.

>"chess was supposed to be a demonstration of human intelligence"

Well, if it was, it was a bad one, and in restrospect it's obvious. You can play chess (as a program) and have totally 0 IQ in all over realms (e.g. any specialized chess engine, which is nothing like a general AI), whereas that's no true for humans. Human intelligence allows a chess player to ALSO play chess, it's not a chess-oriented algorithm.

The same way a plastic ruler might measure better than us ("this is 12.45 inches", whereas we might say "that's about a foot", but its "measuring intelligence" is not human intelligence by any definition.
Not OP, but I feel similarly. I'm going to go get the vaccine as soon as I can because what's the alternative? I want to go to concerts and travel again. If I don't get the vaccine my choices are:
1) not care and probably get COVID-19, which has a chance of developing the same autoimmune issues that have been discussed
2) hide in my room for another unspecified length of time.

It is at this point that I remind myself of all the other dangerous things that I do: driving, motorcycling, rock climbing, skiing, etc.

The risk of long term side effects is worth the benefit of spinning up the global economy again.
This is a psychological experiment. People aren't rational.
Given the counterfeit problem on Amazon, I have been using the retailer as a proxy instead. I feel much more comfortable buying things from a known retailer like Target or Walmart, since I can rely on them to at least do some kind of due diligence on the products they carry. I think this will be the way forward for these companies to stay in business as Amazon becomes overrun with junk.

It depends how different the response to the vaccine vs the virus is. e.g. the vaccine immune response is based on the spike, while the virus could trigger an immune response based on some detail on the virus, but not the spike

1. Yep that makes perfect sense. A persisted file keeps the data and the SqLite provides an easy interface to work with.

2. I mistakenly thought it wasn't important. But I've moved it to the top of the backlog, should be available soon.

3. This is gold. Looked into transactional emails and that's exactly what's needed. Moreover, there's projects like nodemailer-mailgun-transport that will make this easier.

Cheers!

I think there is a deeper point here. I do AI research, I use logic programming, deep learning, and a bunch of other techniques. These things together can produce amazing results, solving problems of which humans could never solve in thousands of years.

However, I don't want black-box AI anywhere near me -- I don't want it deciding who gets into my University, the grades our students get, if I get a morgage or if I committed a crime. While AI can solve many problems, it's not really "thinking", it's just pattern matching and brute force, and (at least at the moment) every AI system is very easy to confuse if you try.
Based on the abstract, it looks like this is an attempt to measure how safe self-driving cars need to be in order for people to prefer using them. It is not any sort of requirement from the NIH.

I wonder what range in safety we tolerate in human drivers? How much worse than the average is a newly-licenced 17 year-old (or whatever age) or an 80 year-old?
If they are setting an objective measurement, how is that an illusion of control? In fact it seems like exactly the opposite - they are putting hard numbers on the level of risk they consider tolerable. They are making that available to everyone so they can debate and dispute it.

If anything, this is removing the illusion of control. The illusion of control would be to say you would never trust self-driving cars. Saying you will trust them at a level of 5x measurable safety criteria above human drivers is totally different.

Now we can make actuarial arguments about whether it should be 5x vs 2.6x vs 0.9x and debate how to measure the safety criteria - that’s a completely different world from one where people “feel like” human control of the car is safer.

If it's a subjective matter tied to perception of risk rather than actual, statistical risk, such perception can be swayed.

The challenge remains that people will be killed in accidents involving autonomous control. And we anticipate that the number of people killed will be fewer, hence 'saving lives'. However, the lives lost in autonomous accidents will be a different set of people than those that would have died in human driven accidents. There will be cases where a court determines that the autonomous system was the cause. Families of those killed will want justice, while those separately saved by autonomous systems may never be heard from in the same case.

I expect that in the end it will come down to a business decision, and that decision will be informed by an actuarial exercise: Will profits and insurance be able to cover the costs of defending and settling such cases. Who knows, maybe the threshold is crossed at 5x safer.
Despite your pronouncements to the contrary, a comment appearing to say "this is incorrect" is absolutely more "help" to someone who's reading along and doesn't know anything than if the original false claim were instead to appear naked and unopposed.

There is no imperative—moral, logical, or otherwise—that I or anyone else spend energy to substantiate the debunking of a claim for which there has been no attempt to substantiate the original itself—even if you want to use a bullshit accounting method which frames it as a de novo claim that the first claim is incorrect. To insist that there is, especially when the energy required to debunk is much greater than the energy spent spitting out the original one sentence nugget of misinformation, is to deliver a set of conditions where Gish gallops are even more effective than they already are. (And that's before we get around to pointing out that you're not even following the rules that you're vigorously arguing are in play; we can let this be one of your exercises for the reader: swap in the word "claim" in place of my use of the word "insist" in the preceding sentence, and then pay attention to the ramifications it has for any of the comments you've written here, esp. wrt the "way to hold a discussion on a public forum".)

In fact, on the topic of outsized expenditures of attention and energy sinks, think about the role you're playing in this even now. (Although, perhaps that was the point—and not an attempt to excite oneself with a pastime that only incidentally happens be tedious in the way it makes contact with others' lives.) This will be my last comment in this thread.

Everyone was supporting GDPR because it was advertised as bringing the big tech corps back in line. But big tech corps have big standing armies of lawyers.

I think this high level of certainty is basically just the governments way of acknowledging they are terrible at gathering/defining useful metrics and so with a wide margin there's very little room for error on the politicians part. I'm unsure if this is overly cynical, but I don't expect politicians today became career politicians by worrying about safety more than protecting their political status. Further, I suspect media would look for any definition possible to blame politicians for deaths so politicians feel it necessary to be blameless before allowing interesting, progressive ideas to materialize.

I would say that we tend to reduce human flourishing to exclusively being alive. I think the 5x multiplier maybe covers things like loss of liability in an accident, a sense of ownership of the vehicle, loss of privacy or obscurity, regulatory or operational infrastructure costs associated with a switch to self-driving, freedom of choice, etc. All of these have some ultimate impact on human flourishing beyond just a binary dead or alive definition. My opinion is, if these aren’t included in the 5x, they should be.

On the face of it, the delay in accepting self-driving cars till they are 5x safer would cost thousands of lives in the interim (while they are only twice as safe, three times as safe etc.) Is there a reason ordinary people's views should have prescriptive force here? Maybe they're just flat wrong.
All the technical details aside,

Microsoft under Bill Gates, Apple under Steve Jobs, Amazon/AWS under Jeff Bazos, and Tesla under Musk. To a somewhat lesser extent - Alibaba under Jack Ma, Oracle under Larry Ellison and Dell under Michael Dell.

You see a trend here? I reckon there is a connection between how well a Tech Company's products are received by the consumers based on whether it has an identified / globally recognized, Billionaire Head? I don't know but that's what came to my mind.

Sure, Jobs is not there any more nor is Gates the head of Microsoft but their legacy certainly carries on with the consumers.
35mm film has equivalent resolution of about 90megapixels, way better than DVD quality.

If a movie isn't issued in better than dvd quality is because nobody has cared about remastering them to better formats.

This is not the government saying "we the government require...". It's the results of a study of what people believe. people's risk tolerance is almost never rooted in a rational calculation. Risk tolerance is based on emotion, and self-driving cars currently trigger an emotional response.

As soon as self-driving cars become a regular part of people's lives and not an exciting new thing, the calculation will shift to a much more rational one

Are you sure there aren't multiple variations of the same product?

I made an online purchase for some oral-b toothbrush heads from Target. The item that arrived did not resemble what was on their website. I figure since it's a big retailer, it's probably legit. I checked the official manufacturer's website and the product was also different. Digging a bit deeper into the product images, I finally found one that looked like the version I had.
I mean, once you get brand recognition and a market foothold, that's when you start optimizing on the cost quality tradeoffs. That seems to be the normal course of business in the US. Smart brands recognize there's a limit to gaming the margins before they lose trustworthiness and cut quality slowly and only to a certain point so as not to eliminate brand loyalty and recognition.

If that margin gaming process gets too greedy, the cycle kicks back and people start looking for other brands. The real strategy is to ride just above the stable point of adoption and keep an eye out for competitors that are offering better value, then gobble them up before they unseat your nice comfortable market position.

The end result is you get a bunch of medicore products and services in the marketplace as well as terrible products/services. The high quality stuff tends to die quickly, undercut by those dominant in the market through anticompetitive forces while the poor quality stuff survives because their brand will be short-lived anyways. Few seem to be able to hold onto the ideals of putting and maintaining high quality first over increasing profit margins, that just isn't the goal.
