Software isn’t really a problem. What hardware changes do you think Tesla will need to make to deliver on FSD, whether that ends up being actual level 5 or not?

it is also not that expensive to retrofit most new hardware, especially if it is just new silicon.
The Myth of A-Players (2016)
It's funny that you almost never see vertical Asian text online, yet it is so common in the real world, especially in print.

It is pretty crazy though that these languages have chosen LtR for their horizontal text, but RtL for vertical text. And when you throw English text into a passage, and numerals too, it gets to be a big fucking mess.

EDIT: This page has an awesome summary of how complicated it gets (e.g. mixing vertical Chinese with RtL Arabic, "vertical" drop-down menus etc):

> I don’t agree with condemning the research because it involves animals

If so, then you logically also must agree with this (which equates): "I don’t agree with condemning the research because it involves myself," else please compelling explain the difference between yourself and any other animal you like, but also describe how one can ignore or shed the moral horror that is animal research, that only first includes violent interference with the natural right of all alive... to live unmolested, has endless torture in the middle, and ends in unnatural and premature death. Just how does one adopt sweeping callous attitudes, devoid of empathy, towards another living creature?

> but you don’t even need to assume they’ll be involved in experiments. That’s what this article is about right?

...and then be so blindly, comically optimistic? Or sarcasm, duh.

FWIW, if only you were being used for animal research, I would still be against it, though only on moral grounds.

> Like all lemurs, mouse lemurs live only in Madagascar, and some species are critically endangered. But the common mouse lemurs are so abundant that they can be studied easily in the wild

> Mouse lemurs are among the most abundant primates on Earth

What I found of note is the article's reinforcing contradictions, like there's an underlying notion of abundant uniqueness. Truffula trees.
Exactly. If you press the brakes the system gives complete control back to the driver. It's interesting to see all of the comments about the "horrifying" experiments Tesla is doing, and quoting science fiction movies about how robots are going to murder you. So much sensationalism.

They are safer than some human drivers in some conditions. They are not safer than every human driver in every condition though, so you'd need more to make a valid utilitarian argument.
If it's not true, Tesla should be overjoyed to share raw data (not processed through their marketing department) then.
> while they are incredibly safe and barely have any risk associated with them

Alternative explanation: nobody knows the risks in details, and side-effects are widely under-reported anyway. Ask any doctor how often they report even serious side effects, you will be very surprised.
I feel confused why 1) they would call both programs by the same name (arguing that an acronym is pretty much the same name) and 2) why the government even allows them to call it Full Self Driving, when there are levels of autonomous driving and I imagine most would assume Full means the highest level, which, Tesla has not yet achieved from everything I've read.

> but to sway public opinion against public spending in general

The motive behind information should be irrelevant in terms of its veracity but your implied premise here is interesting: advocating to reduce public spending is wrong. Obviously no government can support indefinitely high public spending, so at some point there needs to be a reduction of public spending in the public’s favor lest the government institution go bankrupt. In that case advocating for reduced public spending would obviously be right, not wrong, at least by your apparent moral standards.

At what point would you consider it right to reduce public spending? Or rather, what factors would you consider when making a determination as to whether public spending is too high?
It’s at 76% now. In 53 minutes since the post it has gone down 4%. So say roughly 5% per hour as a back of the envelop calculation. That’s roughly 20 hours on a full charged cycle.

It would be good to know if there is a fast charge capability of the battery and how long would that be. An hour of full sun a day? Or two hours of partial sun?

Effbot was a voice of clarity when I went to learn Python, long before 2 was ready to collect dust on the shelf.

I picked up the Python Standard Library book used after reading some apress book on Python. The book was clear and a good guide to the language, honestly one of the reasons I began to push people to learn it.

Later, I probably ran into him on irc.

I've used PIL, and later Pillow, as well as ElementTree in personal and professional work. Without him, I suspect part of my professional life wouldn't have happened. Funny how that is.

> The biggest harm done by taking vaccines you don't really need is probably that the money could have been used for something more useful.

What kind of nonsense is that? Its the same as saying "there is no problem in taking any drug, the worst it can get is lose some money". You can't clamp entire technology as good or wrong. Vaccine as technology obviously has merit. Any particular vaccine may be problematic or not. Think H1N1 and narcolepsy, anthrax vaccine in gulf war etc.

This kind of trash talk is exactly the same as anti-vax talk. I have no sympathy for either clan. As usual, people convert complex topic into binary decision which is madness.

I once used PuTTY as the base for an internal SSH tool. We needed to provide data entry teams with access to a green screen but didn’t want to expose any more servers than what they were authorised to use and a simple interface because a lot of the data entry guys were technologically illiterate.

After spending hours looking for solutions that were purpose built for this kind of thing I gave up took PuTTYs source and made some tweaks to the UI.

The source was so easy to work with and I was so grateful that the license allowed me to do this.

The custom client only ran for a couple of years because the web replaced green screens. And being a *nix guy I don’t get much need for PuTTY in my day to day. But I’ll always be grateful for PuTTY for making that particular job possible (and secure).
> sway public opinion against public spending in general

When public spending inevitably degenerates into nepotism and corruption, that is just cutting the problem at its root. What alternative do you propose?
I think that's a reasonable view, but what I found more questionable was why you would think that it is so obvious that even the dumbest 20% should share agreement with you.

> While I believe that it is unethical for large for-profit corporations to not support FOSS projects from which they derive (extract?) immense amounts of value, it is not illegal, thanks to the system.

While I very much agree with the article on it's core topic, this is incorrect. It is not illegal thanks to the license. The FOSS world created the licenses, it is made legal by choice, it isn't due to the system. "The system" very much allows for this problem to be entirely avoided.

If you're happy making free software but you don't want anyone to profit from your work without cutting you in on the success you contribute to, consider a dual license. Maybe the free software world should consider addressing this problem in some license scheme, a couple of options being royalties paid if the software is used in profit generating endeavors, or even something more restrictive, like requiring all derivative works and works being supported by licensed software to release their source as well. Imagine if Android were licensed in this way, google would not get to marry proprietary crap to it, as just one example.

That's why if you hadn't done your homework, I believe you should just follow the recommendation of your doctor and/or the CDC.

Actual user of the beta here. Happy to answer any questions that are honest. My opinion is let the technology develop in the open, warts and all.
That's crafty. I put the peanut butter in a ring of tape hanging around the middle of the cylinder. I did this to keep it from falling off into the water and eventually, getting moldy (I keep the bucket permanently set). It also means I almost never have to re-set it... I wonder, if something like that would be more difficult to reach stretched out. You also must have large mice.

>explodes exponentially

Nit pick: it explodes factorially, which is worse than exponential. The superset of a set of N elts is N!. (If order is meaningful (unlikely here), it's slightly worse, which is all permutations of each member of the superset. But that's only ~exponential and is quickly swallowed by the factorial).

This I've long thought the be the Achilles' heel of autonomous. Even skilled human drivers have a hard time calibrating their style to the local situation.

I remember the first time I drove as a passenger through Manhattan with my father driving, and couldn't get my head around his change in driving style. Was a side of him I'd never seen before - driving aggressively like a cab driver. I'm sure it came from his years of living in NYC.

> And part of that is making all the necessary security tools available free of charge, because the more money they cost, the more companies will take a cost-benefit decision not to bother with them, neglecting the externalised cost of those knock-on effects of their insecurity on everyone else.

Boy if that doesn't ring true. Kudos to PuTTY's author for making it so easy and low cost to do the right thing that those profit-seeking automatons we call "companies" actually will.
So why doesn't Tesla share raw data with the public, or regulators? I cannot think of better PR for Tesla, and autonomous driving in general.
Well, I'd look into ways to get off the AWS train then. You're already in better starting position given the use of ECS, so you have some preparation for running containers.

Since AWS is too expensive, I figure Heroku is right out, and it pushes towards cost optimization a lot.

Personally I'd go with some low-cost hosted kubernetes so long as the provider also includes database hosting and integrates logging and such - this means avoiding some of the most complex for starters tasks of handling it - but I also already have k8s experience. Despite what some people say it doesn't have to be complex, but I'd consult with whoever you have available regarding operations - who knows, they might offer some services you didn't know about before.

Keeping to something like "twelve factor app" will help to keep your stack simple to deploy no matter which way you go, IMO.
>Is there a good resource to learn more about this without a Biology degree?
Immunology is complicated. Some people call it the second most complicated system, behind the human brain.

>I always assumed the body generated matching snippets at random and the law of large numbers would result in a match eventually.

Right. Antibodies have a Y shape, where the two tips of the Y are variable, and the base is fixed. The IgM are the completely random snippets that happen to match a wide variety of things. However, because it's chemistry, it's more subtle than match or no match. Think of it like a variable degree of stickiness.

When a pathogen is found, your body is going to iteratively mutate new antibodies and select those that bind the best to the collected antigens, until you have something very specific (= sticks very readily). I'm simplifying a little bit, but that's the process for generating IgGs that I was talking about.

I don’t think they even really have a traditional marketing department. The beta release notes are probably something you should check out.

Latest:

Improved object detection network architecture for non-VRUs (e.g. cars, trucks, buses). 7% higher recall. 16% lower depth error, and 21% lower velocity error for crossing vehicles.

New visibility network with 18.5% less mean relative error.

New general static object network with 17% precision improvements in high curvature and nighttime cases.

Improved stopping position at unprotected left turns while yielding to oncoming objects, using object predictions beyond the crossing point.

Allow more room for longitudinal alignment during merges by incorporating modeling of merge region end.

Improved comfort when offsetting for objects that are cutting out of your lane.
you’re talking about the definition of a single edge case. you can argue about the exact proportion, but it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that real world conditions are dominated by an amalgamation of many different edge cases that together add up to many percentage points.
Anecdotally, people adapt to do whatever they are doing efficiently. At some point I started exercising (distance running) a lot and I lost weight despite eating constantly. That phase lasted a few months, at which point my hypothesis is I got efficient at running and no longer burned huge calories doing it. I started gaining weight and had to adjust my diet.

Seems to me the example of the hunter gatherers is the same. Their bodies have adapted to do their everyday tasks efficiently. This is a logical evolutionary adaptation. It also leaves room for exercise to play a role in weight loss, by doing things you're not well adapted for. Diet of course is also important, however both have a role.
Bezier curves are actually my favorite way to teach recursion. They give a nice visual representation of what's happening, the base case is pretty straight forward, and so is the math. The time-step element adds just enough extra complexity to take it beyond "let's sum a list" or "check if a string is a palindrome".
I believe Tesla testing FSD on open roads is probably going to cost lives. I think they're aware of the game they're playing and they're taking more risks than is responsible.

I also believe the driver in that video doesn't have the level-headedness to be testing anything anywhere. Which is a criticism both of the driver and of Tesla for letting people like that run the software on the open road.
Putty is great and I thank him for this work :)

There seem to be a lot of "side effects" of driving cars, in fantastic amounts, you isolated only 1:

1. You can become invalid

2. You can kill buss of kids

3. You can go to jail

4. It can be very hard on your finance

5. You can have your car stolen

6. You can lose your nerves

7. There are bunch of diseases involved due to gasses

etc...

Basically, every single person I know had some problem with the car. Probably the best not to have them.
Python lets you throw together a GUI pretty easily. I used it to build some simple wxWidgets applications when I was learning how to program.

Then trying to build a wxWidgets application in C++ isn't that much of a leap from that. Building it on linux is super easy. OP is right in that it is not obvious how to even start building on windows, at least if you want to know every command being run and do it all from the command line, instead of using the microsoft IDE. After downloading a ton of tools and looking through the IDE, it starts to feel like something is wrong if you just want to build "hello world" and were able to do it easily on linux.
Sure 99% of driving is pointing the car straight, keeping it between the lines and avoiding the car in front of you. That's easy and has been essentially solved by dozens of car makers.

The "edge" cases are pretty much everything else. There are a near infinite number of possibilities here and it is clear that no one is anywhere near close enough to covering them all. Stopping for a pedestrian when turning right is not some completely unforeseeable event.
