If there was even a single instance of that, a bidder would know...

Every losing bidder gets information about the winning bid. Nobody is saying "I bid $1.00, yet the winning bid was $0.90".

You could almost argue that the auction time limits lead to this case "I would have bid a dollar, but you finished the auction before I could say that!". But the time limits are 100 milliseconds plus, which in computer terms is an age. If you can't get your bid in in that time, it's just badly written software that hasn't precomputed the bid ahead of time.

It's nice to be able to blame something on a culture, but the reality is that some percentage of people are somewhere on the spectrum of morality where they are prone to doing this. I don't imagine judges are a particularly amoral group, despite being lawyers, but politicians certainly are. I'm always dumbfounded when people want to give politicians more power.
Frankly I feel that for this kind of investication (car crashes and accidents) the manufacturer should be required to hand over all data relevant to the investigation. On device logs are probably the most relevant data you could get in these cases.

That this lab decided to try to decipher the data, and found troves of it that wasn't known to exist before, speaks to how the relationship must be.

They didn't trust Tesla to hand everything over.

In my humble opinion, any region should force all manufacturer of cars that will be sold in that region to hand over data (or methods by extracting the data) in cases like these, lest their license to sell their product be rescinded.

A lot of questions about responsibility come from this case.

If autopilot was following the car too close would the driver be responsible for not taking action? How much trust is a driver allowed to put in autopilot?

I also wonder how much data other cars collect. As far as I know most cars collect a lot of data you don't know about.
Radar data is also an assumption, way weaker than cameras.

Cars radar sensors are not the F22 ones, they are very simple, limited and it is not the sky in which metallic objects are foreign and there is empty space everywhere.

The world on earth surface is full of metallic objects with very complex shapes and reflections everywhere(and you have military safety standards, my uncle got cancer(and died) after working with military radars as an engineer and working so close to them). My uncle could not prove the connection but if thousands of people start getting cancer after those devices are common it will be much easier to prove.

With cameras you have millions of points array for cheap that lets you differentiate things much better than simple radars do.

Imagine that you integrate all the colors that go in a camera to a single color. That is what you have with radar sensors.
Probably this is true but how to say this without being judged as arrogant.

I mentioned it because you said Norse, and while I'd agree that the Normans weren't vikings (the Viking Age is typically bookended by the Norman conquest of England in 1066), I would definitely consider them Norse.
"While performance of the new M1 Max-based MacBook Pro in Adobe Premiere Pro looks very good compared to the previous-generation MBP with discrete graphics, it doesn't look that good compared to x86 workstation platforms with standalone graphics processors."

This is the big takeaway. All of Apple's comparisons are to their own previous hardware, which was about a year behind the competition. In addition, if you look at Geekbench scores of the M1 Max, those include a lot of tests that use the GPU. When the tests are run against the competition, they are artificially lowered by running the test on the default low power integrated graphics, instead of specifying the discreet GPU.

In reality, the M1 is not a pro laptop as the industry defines "pro." It is only a pro laptop compared to Apple's other offerings, and competes with mid-tier laptops from everyone else.
Sure, but the stock price would tank (note that the current multiple assumes growth), employees would leave due to poor compensation, and starts a downward spiral.

I am not sure if that is called survival.

And no, most businesses in the world do not survive that long. Lifetime of businesses are often much shorter than lifetime of humans. Even many of them that look like have survived may share the name only and are effectively new businesses.

You seem to have gotten sidetracked by an example.

Regardless there are plenty of platforms outside of 4chan where you can discuss this. You just need to have some initial trust that people are having good faith discussions.

The best example I've seen is the birthday paradox. How likely is it for 2 people in a N person class to have the same birthday? You can solve this deterministically using math pretty easily.

But if you modify the question to ask how likely it is for 3 people, or you add things like February 29th and leap years, or you add the fact that births are more likely during summer months, then it becomes extremely difficult to solve this deterministically. Instead, you run a Monte Carlo simulation to get approximate probabilities. This is much simpler to code and can be easily modified to fit new conditions.

A Monte Carlo simulation is probabilistic because you use random numbers in the simulation and you won't get a 100% perfect answer but you'll get close enough (and you can do some math to get error bounds).
Historically, airlines had a lot of computing power.

In Jim Grays 1984 article about getting to "1000 transactions per second" (TPS), an "ordinary" system ran at 50 TPS and airlines were pushing above 800 TPS.

So, they had capacity and competence.

Second, airlines are expensive beasts to run so solving hard problems is worth a lot of money.

Third, there are a lot of rules in aviation that suit themselves nicely to combinatorial optimisation.

Think crew scheduling: if there is a delay on an inbound flight the crew may not be allowed to fly the aircraft on its next leg since they would exceed their maximum working hours for the day. But then you need to find another crew and a good rescheduling to perhaps a shorter or earlier flight for the original crew.

And then you have to think about rescheduling passengers to their connecting flights or holding those flights back a bit to allow the passengers to make the connection. And you have twenty minutes to do it before they land.

Handling these "catastrophes" pop up again and again in the daily operations and are well suited for the kind of combinatorial search provided by logic programming in combination with optimisation engines.

There are specialist companies in this area. For example, PDC's Turbo Prolog and Visual Prolog products have been used extensively in aviation since the 90s.

Interesting that the person moved to San Diego (not a cheap place by any means), and Google cuts the salary.

There is some strange fixation Google currently has, especially towards getting people into their New York offices - must be some tax incentives or other deals with the city....

A friend just recently wanted to work from google office in another tech hub city (not remote/from home by any means) and during offer negotiation it was denied, so she didn't join - as she didn't wanna move to NYC.

Odd things happening at Google lately - I mean even Amazon is more remote friendly these days. Lol
I think it’s a job for Dutch courts to determine, not the manufacturer.
I wish there was more discussion of pure tech solutions like this. If you could build a small satellite that broadcasts a radio signal with your website’s content, and stick it in space, maybe it would last. The question is does the tech exist yet ti keep something like that running, and if not can we get there any time soon!
Hyperbole doesn't contribute to the discussion.
Ah, I forgot about skimmers. Good call.
Very good to know.

Without any technical knowledge (not at the level of the author of the article) and in my little experience, I can confirm the issue about the long cable not working and the short one working, it happened to me a few times, but in my ignorance, I thought only "ha! the cable is too long and there must be some voltage drops/internal resistance issue", never thought of the possibility of adding resistors (that does sound counter-intuitive, at least to me).
Surely NYC/SFBA are even more expensive?
While I also consider the fake shutters silly, when it comes to the broader fake = cheap feeling, I used to think the same way but recently got educated and it changed my outlook a lot.

Please think of a Greek temple, something that probably evokes feelings of monumental, functional beauty to last the ages. But their structures are largely non-functional, and stone is ill-suited to their construction - consider their long, horizontal roof beams. This is widely considered to be a result of faking wood structures with their light frames, and the classical columns we all know were likely meant to imitate bundles of wooden poles that originally served this role. This theory is known as petrification.[1] Modern neoclassicist buildings are fakery all the way down. They usually have steel frames at their hearts and zero need for stone veneers, columns, and arches, but we still enjoy the traditional, trustworthy feel they evoke.

What better way to pivot than to clean out house while grabbing a bit of attention. Perhaps these whistleblowers are a symptom of internal conflict and factions at war over where they go.
“See no evil”?
Though this isn't is a bad idea, if we really want to avoid the inefficiencies stemming from monopolies, we need to not just break up by business unit, but even more so ensure those business units are not themselves little monopolies. That would likely mean breaking up the units too; i.e. not just 1 search provider, but at least two; not just 1 android but at least two, etc.

Having each smaller niche served by its own monopoly is perhaps better than having just 1 monopoly with a larger niche, but it'll still just converge towards today's ever more feudal society.

There is 0 polical interest in dealing with that though, and it would be a really tricky issue - after all, if you're serious about wanting to support capitalism, google is by no means the only company that needs to go. It would mean a fairly dramatic restructuring of the corporate landscape, and you'd need to have answers for scenarios where economies of scale are so lucrative, they outweigh the benefits of competition (would those be non-profits with multiple competing clients?) Also, the laws around intangible value (i.e. intellectual property) are pretty much designed for monopolization. Finally, we don't live in a vacuum; how will you deal with transnational corporations, and specifically with overseas monopolies that can play off the now smaller intra-national non-monopolists against each other? As tax-avoidance schemes have shown, corporate structures can get quite complex, so it's quite possible some kind of mutually dependent franchise system might develop with the true ownership still centralized and monopolistic - but external.

All in all, the path towards the idealized capitalist system seems implausibly long. We're going to want ways of mitigating the damage before we get there, and that implies ways of dealing with these kind of non-capitalist entities in non-capitalist ways; perhaps a special huge-size tax and a more interventionist state. And even that seems like wishful thinking in today's political climate...

Would be interesting to know if the issue here that the driver selected 1 (or 2 or 3) car-distances, and the Tesla followed at 0.25 or 0.7 or something
Interface in Java with example and Java 8 interface
That comment doesn't make sense at all. If anything you want to know what the Tesla AI was thinking so you can compare to reality (like Traffic cameras etc.), which might find fault with the driver assist system. Letting Tesla "interpret" the data before handing it over is completely backwards as they are an involved party on the accident.
Politicians can declare anything a crime, and same act can be legal and criminal in places spaced 2 meters apart, that's why there is no point arguing about that. Regarding speech "crimes", see my earlier comment about Putin's Russia.

Thus, sane people MUST fight against criminalising any kind of speech, because speech is not a crime. Just like sane people fought against slavery, segregation and Holocaust, all of which were legal.
Using the Zoom client is also using it wrongly, because you have to install some blob from an untrustworthy company that has historically been riddled with security bugs.
While the software might have failed here, so did the human driver who failed to stop the unsafely operating autopilot. And this very problem could be fixed with the next software upgrade.

The more appropriate question if the autopilot is worth it if it has to be carefully watched by humans.

I got most of the way through an answer about IKEA, but I’m not sure realistically how much I can say publicly. But it’s fairly obvious (my opinion, I’m not speaking for my employer here) at least that the pandemic has hit the logistics of IKEA in the US more than it has in other markets.
Thanks! And the conference publication with technical details: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355202701_Reverse_e...
I just read some Dutch news sources to get some more context.

Some things to know:

Tesla hands over all requested data in case of an investigation. But only the requested data. Because we now know what data is stored more data can and will be requested in the future.

The crash was caused by the driver because he thought lane assistance was turned on but only adaptive cruise control was turned on. This caused the vehicle to move to another lane.

So the question about this accident is: how obvious is it for the driver what is going on and what assistance to expect.
You can use the same argument to argue that EVs are a scam, because some electricity is generated by coal.

The point is that electricity can have a green source, liquid carbon fuel can't. You absolutely cannot compare the two. FWIW, Google's data centers are primarily powered by green energy.
Cassiopeia: New Audio Splitter Superior to Spleeter and UMX
I think any tech company that is growing, and has not achieved profitability by a clear mechanism that you're ok with is a risk.
I worked on GCP until recently. I remember celebrating (in-office) our product within GCP surpassing one million dollars of revenue per day. GCP would be fine.
With more companies competing, there will be more innovation overall.
When that happens, people will have even less recourse against media, internet and social media companies using their power to influence.
It’s hard to say how a split would happen. I guess I would assume a different split, which would force Android and Chrome out of any type of ad business, meaning that Chrome could not take money from search and where Android would be forced out of any user tracking.

Other than GCP, which I still think would fail, if split out in the next year or do, you make a good point.
Is the current Google leadership a shining beacon of trustability?
That's an insightful post. What a pity it got lost because of HN's URL stripping.

So it's not empty words, Microsoft loves Linux. At least they they adopted Linux / open source testing organization. (Some projects are better than others, there is OpenQA, but quite often you get free (as in beer in this case) software and pay with own efforts that has not been systematically tested or documented.)

Disclaimer: Developer, have used only Linux for 13 years. Would never take a job again that requires me to touch Windows.
Isn't it good to have complementary skills in the founding team though? Technical founders often struggle with sales, marketing, raising money, operations and their time is better used in building the actual product. Having said that, founders with non-technical backgrounds who have experience working in startups are likely going to understand and enjoy the grind better v/s MBAs fresh out of B-School or a consulting firm.
What's more important, being passionate or being curious?
And now you know the true reason for age discrimination. It takes time, no matter how intelligent, to see through such dogma.
No, because the changes would have been many small incremental changes, each of which is easier to validate on it's own. It's the sun of those dozens of update all at once that creates the problem.
