Sure, I can acknowledge that the software should have reacted here, but so should've the driver. The driver is responsible for the vehicle and Tesla are clear about this. I don't think it's valid to blame inattentiveness on Autopilot either.
> I agree with you, but Tesla are very clear that the person in the driver's seat is 100% responsible for the vehicle when Autopilot is active.

So when Tesla says[1]:

> The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.

The "legal reason" for having a person in the driver seat is so that they can act as a liability shield for Tesla?

I've totaled a car because of a deer jumping in front of my vehicle. Swerved, and flipped the car right over. That's not out of the realm of possibility in this video. If the car had swerved, and hit a decline, it takes remarkably little to flip a car.

Well not a tesla. You have to really work to flip them, but the point stands.

This despite being taught about danger of animals, and living in a place with a large wild population.

Your brain does not process images outside of the immediate distance in front of you nearly as fast as you think it does. I had a good four seconds that I could have "seen" the dear, but it was only when it was directly in my path that I realized what was going on.

When you are watching youtube, you are staring right at it. When you are driving a car, chances are you looking straight ahead.
> All these CPUs will be Arm compatible

At base ISA level perhaps. But there will also be extensions for AI, DSP, media encoding, etc which will be incompatible. You nominally wouldn't have to use those, but the CPU will be nothing special without all that. This problem is already quite pervasive in the ARM ecosystem, and it'll get worse over time. There's no way around this. In a power-sensitive environment the only realistic way out currently is specialized co-processing and ISA extensions.
This has a strong possibility of making things worse by conditioning the human driver to react with "oh, it's just the auto-pilot testing me", and thus not reacting properly when it does actually malfunction.

You end up staring at fundamentals and harmonics a lot in order to get the timbres and the mix you have in mind.

That's a very "my shit is more important than your life" take.

Property lost can be regained. Life lost saving property or time lost recovering from serious injury trying to save property, not so much so.

What you are suggesting I'm saying is the exact opposite of what I am saying. Human life is not worth risking to save property. Heck, human injury is hardly worth it in most cases.

HUDs don't seem like they really impact auto-land. They do impact conditions in which take off is authorised because they can add a synthetic centre line so that pilots are comfortable taking off in low visibility.

For landing existing CAT III landing will complete the entire landing and rollout. Failures (e.g. loss of a flight computer or sensor problems) that would lock out CAT III autoland would likewise rule out attempts in a HUD.

The reason you don't see much real CAT IIIc bad weather landing isn't that it can't work or HUDs would be better, the problem is that sure, now you're safely on the ground but with zero visibility you're stuck on a runway, you can't very well taxi a jetliner when you can't see the concrete you're on let alone the signs and lights. Even a follow-me car won't help, you can't see it.

Garmin's emergency autoland for GA pilots has the same problem, but since it's an emergency feature "Oh dear we took an entire airport out of service for an hour" is an acceptable consequence. The alternative may well have been fatal in that case.

Anyway, people have added e.g. enhanced visibility and highway edge marker HUDs to high end vehicles before. But, that's going to be something you need to train with in order to use it effectively. An airline would send crew on the recommended two week course before they're allowed to fly the modified plane, but we know even private pilots routinely avoid recommended manufacturer training, and cars would definitely be worse. My guess: Tesla would sell a thousand cars with a HUD, fifty drivers would take the free training, ten of them would come away having learnt anything. All one thousand owners would be confident they can now drive at 60mph in dense fog even though the training said "You definitely must not drive at 60mph in dense fog".

Its worth noting that when I was taught, they also said not to break.

Ironically I did actually end up having a encounter with a deer. I did break, and swerve, but at the time I had a car without anti-lock breaks. I lost control of the vehicle and flipped it (which is also why they tell you not to swerve, unless you have good awareness).

Ideas are cheap. Every biologist has way more ideas for what to investigate than they could ever get grants to look into. Grant committees, likewise, see applications for way more research programs than they have money to fund. (This is like startup ideas, founders, and VCs.)

But grant committees are controlled by the older members of each sub-field. They are biased toward what seemed important to them when they were young, but also against what experience has taught them tend to be dead ends. They want questions explored that have gone wanting for decades. Young researchers will eventually graduate to grant committees, and fund what they wish had been looked into decades before.

We can see systematic failure in, e.g., Alzheimer syndrome research, still funding suppression of amyloid plaques and tau tangles decades after every such avenue was found to fizzle. But we don't know a better way to organize evaluating grant applications. We would not know how to evaluate any change proposed. And, we don't know how to change committees over if we found a better one.

Each sub-field has its own dynamic, independent of all the others. Probably some have evolved a method that works well for their sub-field, for now, but would certainly be wrong for the next sub-field over, and will be wrong in its own in ten years. They are all playing catch-up all the time. The only thing that keeps it working at all is that they are run by smart people who have had to solve many different hard problems, and those people retire on a regular schedule.
I use GitHub wiki’s but they’re not perfect and I think about this a lot.

While your specific example is a terrible idea, the overall thought makes sense.

Maybe limit autopilot so that for every mile, or hour spent on autopilot you have to drive an hour manually? Make it random?

Also stop calling it autopilot because it implies self driving capabilities that are not yet fully baked.
Your reference does not even mention Pelosi. It does not allege “insider trading” either, but rather suggests breach of STOCK Act. This is not the same thing as insider trading, which is about breaching fiduciary duty to shareholders.
Yeah, for now. Android is barely open source anymore, the old apps were replaced with proprietary Google stuff. The Play Store locks everybody into Google's proprietary ecosystem and it can't be legally distributed with custom Androids. Now there's this hardware attestation business that ensures we can't hack our devices and apps anymore. I bet one day we won't even be able to install unsigned apps anymore.

It's all so tiresome.

Picture this: you catch a group in the act, they now have a choice: 20 to life if they leave you alive and able to report who they are or kidnap/maim/kill you so they have less chance of getting identified (if they are, the punishment is no worse, if they aren't they get away: so the range of possibilities is 50% better).
It’s actually not legal. See: the STOCK act. It’s just not enforced.
"They argue that Twitter is censoring Trump in violation of his First Amendment rights, according to the motion."

I really do not see how anyone has any 1st Amendment rights to use a platform they do not own. Trump, like all of us, can run a server from his home or pay a service to host it if he wants and say pretty much anything he wants there, and he did try something similar.

Twitter owes Trump nothing at all.
It seems like all your problems with WFH are really problems with having out-of-state employees. Those aren't the same thing. What's stopping you from hiring remote workers who live within the state lines?
It is mainly used by hedge funds.

I have heard it is used by some marketing firms, I have heard that some corporates use it for data on their own properties/competitors (the former may not be obvious, but some malls may do this to check on tenants, malls also usually have their own tracking stuff on site too btw) but the main user are hedge funds.

Not all of this data is useful by itself but it is useful once you integrate it with everything else (lots of firms have tried to use this data on it's own, and then complained it "doesn't work" when they employ no-one who actually understands the restaurant business, for example).

Also, I will say too...99% of this data is coming from free apps whose only purpose is to harvest data from the unwitting. I don't understand fully how this is possible because, presumably, it should be quite obvious to App Stores that a flashlight app does not need to know your location...but it keeps happening. Some of the big data aggregators are actually pretty creepy, I have seen some companies retailing personalised data on every person in the US, I don't think anyone knows where it is all coming from apart from them (I also wouldn't discount hacking tbh, there is so much money in this that I think they have to be doing it).

Imo, all this shit should be blocked. Even within hedge funds, you are seeing funds that are using this data, no-one knows where it comes from, how it was collected, and they making piles of money from it but no-one else can access it...they just call up a firm, tell them they will pay $50m/year if you don't sell this to anyone else, it is all very opaque.
> As usual with Tesla, the headlines are sensational

The headline is "Tesla Autopilot Hits a Deer" which is as bland and unsensational as you can get while being true.

> A neural network mimics the way human brains work.

This is like saying a drawing of a circle mimics the way the sun works. NNs are vaguely inspired by a high-level neuron topology, but the similarities pretty much end there. Gradient descent and backpropogation don't take place in the brain at all, and we don't know enough about the brain to mimic the way it works.
Three big things happened last year: covid 19, the defund the police movement that came as a result of the murder of george floyd, and a rise in murders. But you're arbitrarily linking those events.

My belief is that the murder spike has nothing to do with the police, and everything to do with covid and the economy. Violent crime was already spiking before the george floyd murder, for one thing. Cops do very little that prevents murder, they mostly just arrest people after them, for another. But that's just as arbitrary as your interpretation. Without data, we're just making up stories.
With LIDAR or RADAR?

No production car (AFAIK) uses LIDAR. Some have RADAR, but it doesn't usually help a lot here. This Tesla actually has radar in it. Tesla is actually moving to pure vision because they think they can respond faster to a all vision system and have fewer conflicts when radar randomly bounces back (this apparently was one of the reasons for phantom braking events in autopilot), but also apparently because radar interference with other cars is starting to become a thing.
It’s totally legal for the people who write the laws to trade on inside information. Golly, I wonder how that came to be.
Imagine an alternate reality where all stock holding info is public, with names attached, (Everyone's! Including yours!). There are also no insider trading rules.

Such a system seems possibly fairer and more efficient than what we have now.

The only reason I stick with Windows is because of the vast ecosystem of applications.

Because I went from MSDOS to UNIX to Linux, never ever having used Windows as my day-to-day OS, I don't have that applications lock-in. What I've never had I never miss.

I used to, back in the 90s, try to work out ways of using MS-Office under UNIX because of the ubiquitous .doc format that many documents I received were written in. Sun Microsystems had a system called WABI (Windows Applications Binary Interface) at one point back then. But I haven't bothered about Microsoft Office for decades.

Considering that they have been going at the problem for more than half a century, and if anything, making negative progress, perhaps there is a better approach.

How about: make all trades 100% transparent in real time, and nevermind the insider trading laws? If Jack Smith, the CFO of XYZ Corp, sells 300 shares at 11:04:00 AM, you can know about it by 11:04:01. Sure, Jack still has an advantage, but now his trade is ACTUALLY providing information to the market.

It is one thing for TipRanks to provide analysis two days after, another thing for them to be able to do it in almost real-time, or setup a Fast Follower fund...

Seems there's only good to be gained here, and the insiders won't have to worry about prosecution.
Pre-pandemic, there are a couple of different extended teams but I think the smaller one is about 40 and it's a pretty broad range of levels from fairly junior (e.g. a year or two out of being an intern) people up to VP.

ADDED: If you have mandatory regular in-person work, that does mean you now need to fly in people who are actually remote with the cost and travel time that implies or it means that "WFH" means working from a ~2 hour drive/train ride from the office.

The word "Jew" has been used to describe loan-sharking for quite a while, too, but I will never declare, "Too bad for the other kinds of Jews I guess!"—because at times the result has been very bad for them indeed. As it will be for us.

There are three major differences between these cases:

1. Bigotry against Jewish people goes back 1500 to 3000 years, although during much of that time other words, like "Israelite", were used; the Judeans were only a small part of ancient Israel. The word "hacker", by contrast, only goes back 55 or 60 years, and this sort of pejorative news article about "hackers" only goes back 35 years; although in earlier times sometimes other words were used to mean the same thing, such as "longhair", "philosopher", "freethinker", "egghead", or (as in the case of the great hacker Galileo) "heretic". During the Christianization of England a common term was "wicca", meaning roughly "shaman" or "wise man", which is the origin of our modern English word "witch"—the original word had two gendered versions, and the feminization of the role goes back to the time of Malleus Maleficarum, a book so misogynistic I thought modern feminists were exaggerating until I read it.

2. A "hacker" is not just someone who believes in the value system of hackerdom; it is someone who exemplifies it. The Jewish equivalent is "Tzadik", the title originally given to the mythical figure Joseph, or "Ḥasīd". The Christian equivalent might be "saint". The Rambam said, "One whose merit surpasses his iniquity is a tzadik."

3. The Jewish people are not only a community of believers in a value system, like hackers and aspiring hackers, but also an ethnicity. To some extent you can stop being a hacker, but as in the case of converting from Judaism, that may not be enough to get you untied from the stake.

It is probably not a coincidence that many of the greatest hackers have been Jewish; the two value systems have a lot in common.
So you're ignoring all the points of the video? That autopilot lulls the human brain slowly away from attention even with knowledge of its necessity?
