> drivers using it as intended with close supervision

Doesn't this hide a paradox? Using a self-driving car as intended implies that the driver relinquishes a part of the human decision making process to the car. While close supervision implies that the driver can always take control back from the car, and therefore carries full personal responsibility of what happens.

The caveat here is that the car might make decisions in a rapidly changing, complex context which the driver might disagree with, but has no time to correct for through manual intervention. e.g. hitting a cyclist because the autonomous system made an erroneous assertion.

Here's another way of looking at this: if you're in a self-driving car, are you a passenger or a driver? Do you intend to drive the car yourself or let the car transport you to your destination?

In the unassisted scenario, it's clear that both intentions are one and the same. If you want to get to your location, you can't but drive the car yourself. Therefore you can't but assume full personal responsibility for your driving. Can the same be said about a vehicle that's specifically designed and marketed as "self-driving" and "autonomous"?

As a driver, you don't just relinquish part of the decision making process to the car, what essentially happens is that you put your trust in how the machine learning processes that steer the car were taught to perceive the world by their manufacturer. So, if both car and occupant disagree and the ensuing result is an accident, who's at fault? The car? The occupant? The manufacturer? Or the person seeking damages because their dog ended up wounded?

The issue here isn't that self-driving cars are inherently more dangerous then their "dumb" counter parts. It's that driving a self-driving car creates it's own separate class of liabilities and questions regarding responsible driving when accidents do happen.
OMG, that is pure genius forward thinking.

There are a lot of studies that need to be done to show it has the same nutritional value as real meat.

Specifically which new algorithms would you like to see?

A difficulty is that implementation is harder than a typical student project, and we need some decent developer documentation.
Even if it's true that you could make non-chicken things taste like chicken, the important bit is that in this case they made lab-grown chicken meat taste like chicken. That is an important distinction. I also question whether making things taste like chicken is quite as easy as you describe. If it is, then all the folks making vegetarian chicken substitutes that don't taste very much like chicken have some explaining to do.
I literally never post comments on HN but what is this product. Is this $15/month browser for MacOS ? Fancy browser with grouped tabs, split-screen and sharing but still just browser. I think I'm just too poor to understand. I hope that your product will succeed because then I will know that in this world you can sell ice to an eskimo.
Is there any information about the economic viability of lab grown meat? I can't imagine it's cheap to supply whatever nutrients they're using.
China claims Olympics win by imcluding Taiwan and Hong Kong medals
This argument is flawed, because when regulators investigate a Tesla crash, Waymo doesn't care the slightest. The technologies (emphasis on having skeuomorphic cameras vs a lidar), approaches (emphasis on generating as many situations as possible in simulated worlds and carefully transitioning to the business case vs testing as early in the real world with background data captation) and results are so different between the actors in this specific industry that one's flaws being fixed or improved won't necessarily translate into others benefitting from it.

Conversely, when Waymo iterates and improves their own safety ratios by a significant amount, that evidently does not result in Tesla's improving in return.
>> Either higher protein or more essential nutrients.

So it turns out that Glycine is an important amino acid. It's primarily (but not only) used to build connective tissues. Turns out a great source of it is eating connective tissue, so get bone-in wings and eat those things clean. This is just one thing you probably won't get from lab-grown meat. OTOH most people avoid eating the icky parts anyway.
If most people saw how their meat was processed then I think they’d be converted to lab grown meat (or turned vegan).
This has to be one of the most worthless articles I've ever read. The title here is really the TL:DR, the only additional piece of info in the article not present in the title is the numbers. The source of the data for this article is here:

> I am a consumer, and the government figures for inflation have no relation to my expenses

Yes, most people's individual experience is on one side of the other of the national aggregate.

> If I go back to the mid 2000s when I started working, and my pay only rose by official inflation statistics, there is no way I could afford any of the things I have now

Uh, duh? Its kind of normal to expect real wage increases over a 20+ year career. If your wages only rose at the rate of inflation, that would be no real wage increase. So, sure, most people could say that and its normal and what would be expected if the official inflation figures were both exactly correct and there was no deviation from the average.

> If I take my expenses now, and go back to what they were in the mid 2000s, they grew far quicker than official inflation statistics.

Again, that's fairly normal, even before considering whether your actual inflation experience is above or below the norm; people with rising real wages tend to adjust their lifestyle upward, not just save more.

> If I am remembering right, this was the original idea behind UEFI drivers too — you could in theory write drivers that the firmware would load and they would present a simpler/class-compatible interface to whatever operating system was loaded after that. I think Apple did pretty much this on Intel Macs for a number of things.

Not really; pretty much every UEFI driver shuts itself down when you call ExitBootServices, which is necessary before you can do virtual addressing (as required by every OS)

(My memory is fuzzy but I think the one exception is UNDI/the network driver, but you never want to use UNDI to drive your network card except out of desparation)
> Germans tend to have very good English skills, but if most of the people around you in the (game's) community are native German speakers why speak English and struggle along?

Because most is not the same as all.

Unfortunately, this is sort of a self fulfilling prophecy, as rswskg's original comment indicates. The fact that the community is German speaking means that non German speakers won't join (effectively restricting the pool of potential contributors by ~99%), and thus the German speakers won't have any reason to not speak German.
These are exactly my arguments to my girlfriend on why she shouldn’t use the Autopilot on our Tesla. Your mind will stray, the feature is exactly meant to do that to you. The feedback loop goes the wrong way. Then boom you don’t see emergency vehicles at a wreck apparently. I do blame Elon, he did the Silicon Valley thing of just promise a lot of untested stuff before the laws have solidified. Uber, Lime scooters, etc. The Tesla is a great car, but self-driving is orders of magnitude harder than he thinks.

There's an important additional aspect to bikeshedding: the conversation gets sidetracked onto the distraction-level details very much because the main conversations are hard and everyone involved can understand and opine on the simpler topic.

And that might not be true of the more important activity. It's a procrastination-like thing: let's convince ourselves we're being productive planning this trivial thing while the other big, scary, difficult thing lurks behind us ominously...
frankly, it's hard to even crash into an emerfency in my opinion while actually driving snd paying attention given tgeir lights have gotten so darn bright it's damn near blinding. frankly, I have to slow to a crawl not out of rubbernecking fascination, butout of self preservation to adapt to the dang lighting searing my retinas at night.

I feel like I’ve been reading about the demise of Uber ever since they graduated from startup darling to media bad guy, yet somehow they continue to operate.

This author has an axe to grind with Uber for some reason and they’re pulling out all of the old tropes about misunderstanding growing startups. No, Uber is not going to disappear soon when they run out of money. They’re going to gradually adjust their business model to focus on profitability instead of using their investment money to expand and grow. The entire purpose of investment money is to expand and grow, even at a loss. It’s not some unique bug that Uber isn’t yet profitable. That was the plan, and to be completely honest Uber has been executing their growth plans quite well.

Let's say we had a legal regime in which you could go to a pharmacy with a prescription your wrote yourself and get it filled. Opioids, stimulants, cannabis, ketamine, whatever.

Posting this from Vieb which I've been using for a few minutes. It looks like a pretty complete Vim UI implementation, down to splits, which work really well.

Ironically textareas don't have a Vim mode, hopefully that's addressed soon. I can really see myself using this.

Edit: kind of sad that the buffer/window dichotomy is not implemented, I'd really like a browser that allows me to manipulate webpages as easily as I can manipulate files in a Vim session, and do things like :bufdo etc.

Edit2: I wonder if it would be feasible to hack something like Neovide (https://github.com/neovide/neovide) with webviews instead of text editing buffers.

Edit3: I was wrong, buffer/windows work just like in Vim! This is great!

We have an education problem. People have no idea what computers do because they're illiterate (literacy would mean knowing at least one language well enough to read and write in it) so they just take other people's word that they can do some magical thing with software updates. The most extreme examples of this were the iPhone hoaxes telling people that software updates provided waterproofing or microwave charging.
Yup, that does really make sense. But apparently, when I start implementing in one approach and been through say 25% of implementation, I usually face some scenarios or hit blockers, at which point I kind of start thinking should I have been implemented in the alternate way to prevent the blocker. I spend sometime over there rethinking both the approaches. Only way, that I could think of to handle this to write down the whole approach, with pros & cons, potential roadblocks before even starting to write a single line of code to prevent this?
I think nerds respond the same way to the same slick advertising messages, the difference is just our compulsion to put specs in a spreadsheet or run it through a graphing package before making the final decision. Which could be solved easily at no detriment to the polish if every product had a machine-readable spec file to download via a tiny link at the bottom of the page.

It would have the added benefit of making sure product aggregators always have correct and up-to-date information. I don't understand why pretty much every company gate-keeps their catalogs so much. I worked on a project where we had to pay big money every month to a third party for such a dataset, because apparently companies hate selling large amounts of products to customers who want to automate the purchasing process with their ERP systems.

This was exactly my fear when designing my new house - I wanted to build a hybrid (heat pump and gas furnace) air-conditioning and water-heating system for a home in a climate with very cold winter and increasingly hot summer. Despite providing charts on efficiency & cost savings, and a detailed plan for installation, I eventually gave up. If I couldn't make builders, plumbers & HVAC techs understand, I'd never be able to get it serviced; If the techs couldn't understand it, I'd never get a future buyer to understand it either.

There and back again: The epic adventures of China's wandering elephants
Every year young drivers die because they were inexperienced and didn't realize they were going too fast to too slow for a certain situation.

Once full self driving is statistically safer than humans how will you not let people use it? It is like saying you would rather have 10 children die because of bad driving skills rather than 1 child die because they were not paying attention at all times.
What does that have to do with your claims here?
That would be very mean.
I used to work as product manager in a major telco and had one of every single model of those, and they were some of the best hardware I ever used.

The peak was, I think, when I accessed Excel over Citrix while sitting in the airport waiting for a flight.

In comparison, the N900 I have sitting in the bottom of a storage box someplace was a major disappointment--Maemo never came close to delivering half the functionality I had in a 9500, even though the design principles were pretty advanced for that time.

(I strongly recommend reading "Operation Elop" for an idea of what that later stage in Nokia's life was like, and why Maemo tanked: https://asokan.org/operation-elop)

But the 9000 series was definitely something I wish we had today in some usable, non-niche form.
> Inflation does not cause wages to go up (at least it’s not always the case).

There are many forces affecting wages, but inflation puts upward pressure on wages and wages put upward pressure on consumer prices, so they tend, and not just by coincidence, to move the same direction.

> I lived in a place with high inflation and wages did go down at that time because the economy was bad. (Stagflation)

“Stagflation” has a name as a combination of economic conditions because it is unusual.
This effect gets worse in a large organization, where eventually you get a named group with a leader for every possible sub-specialty or task. Human nature, then, is to grow (or at least preserve) the size of your group. So you end up inventing projects and work that keep your group busy, rather than ceding people to other groups that actually need more help. There's also a tendency to create mandatory process that forces other groups to engage with your group (forms, approvals, reviews, etc).
"Our civilization, our very way of life, heavily depends on X" does not imply "harvesting resource X is ethical" or "harvesting resource X is sustainable".

I expect that to design self-driving you need to push the limits (with some accidents) a bit with a bunch of telemetry. Going from not-much to full-self-driving requires a lot of design increments.

Are there really no vegetarian substitutes for nuggets that taste the same?
Then why not flip the scheme. Instead of have the human as backup to the machine, make the machine backup the human. Let the human do all the driving and have the robot jump in whenever the human makes a mistake. Telemetry can then record all the situations where the human and the machine disagreed. That should provide all the necessary data, with the benefit of the robot perhaps preventing many accidents.

Of course this is impossible in the real world. Nobody is going to buy a car that will randomly make its own decisions, that will pull the wheel from your hands ever time it thinks you are making an illegal lane change. Want safety? How about a Tesla that is electronically incapable of speeding. Good luck selling that one.
