There's really no need for that. WebGL and WebGPU have no concept of file types. Whether it's Wavefront OBJ or COLLADA or glTF or some jankasaurus of JSON loaded out of a database, WebGL isn't going to and shouldn't have to understand it natively. It's on the app developer to translate that to vertices, texture maps, etc. And that's going to change a lot depending on what sort of abstraction layer you're using on top of WebGL, e.g. Three.js or Babylon.js or whatever. If anything, having native support for specific 3D interchange formats would constrict and over complicate the available options to app and 3D framework developers.
Okay, so safety wise let's say that's figured out. People and planners also like to take into account flow of traffic, and throughput wants to be maximized, you may then conclude that there are safe circumstances where rolling stops have practically no safety concerns - and if AI can become amazing enough [let's say there are 100,000 baseline safety experiments that need to be conducted/passed] to account for and catalogue those scenarios, then we could arguably loosen restrictions in at least some contexts.
Might not be the best approach, but illegal? Interesting policy they have there

Examples of common and "hidden" car centric subsidies:

- Roads are basically free to use, transit users must pay a fare. Gas tax and other fees do not come close to the listed or actual cost (e.g. missing DOT salaries, equipment) of road maintenance.

- Number and magnitude of Federal and state grants for roads vs transit/bike capital projects

- Parking minimums in zoning code

- Public land allocated to highways and roads vs transit/bike/pedestrian

- Public land allocated to free or massively discounted parking vs bike racks, bus stops, etc

- In winter time, streets are plowed for free by the town but sidewalks must be cleared by private individuals. Bike lanes typically not cleared at all or are occupied with parked cars.
Yes. I didn’t even understand what he meant by public facing, which at first I assumed to be something own source.
Wyoming used that money for a property tax repeal, and NC used that money to get rid of the educational component of corporate taxes. I don't have a good source, sorry.
They go silent, or they also give a canned response about being competitive in the market when it comes to comp (without naming a number).

If they do name a number and you reply it's too low, they again go into a canned response of "we're willing to reach (++x) for the right candidate", which is just as much bullshit as before. You'll complete an interview cycle and get the lowball offer of (original x).

TLDR they'll lie about comp and never completely answer you.
Mesos used to be popular right before Docker became popular. To this day I am not sure how I'd deploy a dockerized app to Mesos... Which is IMHO a big part of the problem.
Virtually all humans roll stop signs from time to time. It's safe when done in appropriate circumstances, yet it's illegal.

The law is at complete odds with normal human behavior, and we've been ignoring the contradiction for, what, decades?

The most interesting possible outcome of widespread self-driving vehicles is reconciling the legal fictions on the books with reality as code is unambiguously breaking the laws that aren't based in any semblance of reality.

Limit + 5mph is an explicit control by the driver, not a decision by the car. "I'm in a rush" described here is not explicit, the car is making decisions on how much faster to go. Self driving regulations naturally only regulate decisions by the car, not decisions by the driver. "break all speeding laws however you want" isn't a decision as much as a directive on how to make driving decisions.

Same with rolling stop in fsd, it's even more clearly a decision by the car which would naturally fall under self driving regulation while decisions by the driver naturally wouldn't. I.e. this isn't a "perform rolling stops" button the driver pressed to force the decision.
If someone rolls a stop in a non-4-way stop and there was a car approaching at 55mph at the same time from a transversal road then a close to 55mph t-bone crash is prone to happen. (And the vehicle involved might be a truck with a heavy load vs a tesla rolling a stop)
Yes that would be simpler, but less fun in regards to the deception at hand.

I suppose a simpler-than-deep-fake method which would achieve the same level of deceptive-fun would be to have your identical twin do the interview for you.
I think there has to be a certain part of the population that is sensitive to the taste of non-sugar sweeteners. A lot of people I asked said they can’t tell the difference but to me they all taste bitter or metallic, even stevia and agave. monkfruit is the only sweeter than sugar sweetener that doesn’t taste bitter to me.

From my understanding it is different compounds that cause the bad taste for each sweetener, but I suppose people might be sensitive to some more than others. I wonder why it is that only sugar does not produce the bad flavor.

Does the patent contain round corners or something?
Bose probably just sucks at making Bluetooth.
The issue there is not so much the rolling stop but not respect right of way.

Personally I think almost all stop signs should be replaced with roundabouts as it better represents how people want to drive and allows for rolling stops but that’s just me
Is Human Rights Watch also anti semites? Calling out human rights abuses by a nation doesn't make you racist. These are facts. And we should be able to discuss the facts from a rational foundation. I take great issue with the actions of the US government as a US citizen in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the various decades long conflicts the country has engaged in, for example.

Spot on a map where your data goes
Easy. There is no contradiction. If I can think faster, see better, and react faster than you, I can break exactly the same traffic laws as you and still be a much safer driver. Computers can do all of those things currently, and it is a matter of time before that is applied to driving.
Amnesty international is a bunch of well known anti semites?

This is news to me.

Please consider adding a little bit of javascript to find and display the text that describes the variable in a formula when the mouse hovers over it. Even better would be to allow signed-in users (or paid subscribers) to add annotations (and links to youtube videos).

I would prefer if your site requires a paid subscription so you can incentivize people to annotate the content. For a paper author, making the paper terse and complex is more impressive but for the rest of us it is very tedious to decipher.
I mean, most speed limits are also ignored safely and commonly.
I read it as a fairly mathematical statement of fact. There is a tree of opportunities, and one can choose to prune some of them at the root. By definition, any direct/anticipated; and any unanticipated, indirect opportunities; are gone. Which is a 100% valid personal choice, I interpreted the minor quibble being whether this is a net positive creditor to their overall success. On one hand, pruning opportunities is in principle a negative; on the other hand, time saved not dealing with undesired channels is a positive.
Yeah, let's stick it to the Wall Street gatekeepers by paying fees to this SPAC.

> The Angel Pond SPAC vehicle was founded by CEO and Chairman Theodore Wang, the founder of Puissance Capital Management and Angel Pond Capital and a former Partner at Goldman Sachs, and Simon Xie, the founder and Executive Director of Hangzhou Hupan Shannan Capital Management and a co-founder of Alibaba Group.

If you want public money (via SPAC or IPO), you're paying money to "Wall Street" in one form or another.
And most of the sky for a pilot is a blind spot as planes they can't currently see can intersect they could easily and quickly collide.
It would be fantastic if one day, with a high degree of certainty, self driving cars were legally allowed to run stop signs if they deemed it safe.

There must be some fascinating cost/benefit analysis here looking at the waste that comes from breaking and starting again vs. a small chance of causing an accident.

Think about all the cool ways you could alter urban design or traffic law with self driving vehicle data.
Oops, you are right. I was thinking the entropy/bits of the possibilities but accidentally wrote number.

>... whereas I guess I left out some language, like the road was in a desert with full visibility everywhere.

I'd guess that's a speed deterrent. Long stretches of flat, open road with nothing around to crash into are very inviting for people looking to race. Get going fast enough and you risk losing control of your vehicle and crashing into other people, say an oncoming car. Those red lights, assuming I'm understanding your scenario correctly, encourage people to maintain a safer pace of travel.

>Of course, you need to always fully stop or be rolling slowly enough, say if you're making a right-hand turn at a red light...

... no. There is no "or be rolling slowly enough". Stop.
Honestly, this feels a little like blaming the tool rather than putting the responsibility where it belongs, which is with the driver AND the pedestrian. Driver's need to be attentive, of course, but so does a pedestrian. We put an incredible amount of effort into making train crossings safe with lights, sounds, physical obstruction, and more than enough literature and warning about don't walk on train tracks but people still get hit by trains all the time.

Vehicles, just like trains, cannot stop on a dime so the responsibility of safety falls on both parties regardless of "right of way". Talking about having a vehicle with more sensors doesn't really help if a driver doesn't have time to react to those sensors. Moving a step further, if you allow the vehicle to take control from a driver you add in more complications and danger for a whole host of reasons including 1) a driver reacting poorly to a vehicle taking control from them, 2) an auto driving system that is far, far from ready and could cause more issues, and more.

I truly think you could do a lot more to solve the issue by getting drivers and pedestrians to be more attentive around each other than any other sensor or signal.

The actual implementation is a little more nuanced than always roll or never roll, with seven conditions required to avoid coming to a complete stop:

1. The functionality must be enabled within the FSD Beta Profile settings; and

2. The vehicle must be approaching an all-way stop intersection; and

3. The vehicle must be traveling below 5.6mph; and

4. No relevant moving cars are detected near the intersection; and

5. No relevant pedestrians or bicyclists are detected near the intersection; and

6. There is sufficient visibility for the vehicle while approaching the intersection; and

7. All roads entering the intersection have a speed limit of 30 mph or less.

If all the above conditions are met, only then will the vehicle travel through the all-way-stop intersection at a speed from 0.1 mph up to 5.6 mph without first coming to a complete stop. If any of the above conditions are not met, the functionality will not activate and the vehicle will come to a complete stop

Except that's exactly what Corepack does, just silently and opaquely on the user's system. At least, the moment it switches from opt-in to opt-out.

Its unverified binaries are just as good as random binaries, and silently replacing any pre-existing yarn/pnpm/whathaveyou without checking if it was perhaps a custom build is not exactly predictable either.

Other than Corepack, though, I think you people are doing an amazing job!
People generally drive the safe speed for the road they are travelling on. The fact that you're being passed (probably on the right a lot of the times) means you are driving slower than traffic and are actually a danger to other drivers. You might think you are being morally high and mighty but you are actually putting innocent lives in danger. Please have some introspection here.

He is working on this exact thing and I'm certain he would love to collaborate.
Well, I have lots of others, but I didn't want to look too much like I'm ranting.

They include:

- Driving too close to parked cars for comfort on un-laned side streets when there is no oncoming traffic. I personally like to leave enough room to avoid somebody opening their door into me, if I have the room.

- Leaving way too much space in front of the car at stoplights. This is a problem when it leads to blocking the entrance to left turn lanes, etc.

- Totally blowing through stop signs in parking lots.

- Freaking out and making me take over on a mildly tricky interstate interchange where 2 lanes narrow to one.

And I'm sure there are a million others that I'm forgetting about.
California isn’t OK with it. Police routinely ticket vehicles which perform a rolling stop. The police aren’t everywhere, so you could get away with it for a while, but eventually you’ll probably do it in front of a police car and be cited.

Agreed.

The way the profession presents itself and the way librarians actually act are very at odds.

Academic librarians are in full on social justice mode, to the point where I wouldn't be comfortable writing the paper I wrote in 2015 on the ethics of archival neutrality today because my rejection of post-modernism archival theory just wouldn't be acceptable now. I've also been chased out of a library discussion group because in discussing the lack of POC who get MLISes, I mentioned we should also check the socio-economic status of the white students to determine if it was racism or classism keeping POC out of the programs (since many groups of POC are more likely to be poor, if poor people don't get MLISes, then yeah, you'll see fewer POC). This was unacceptable.

The public libraries are full of people with, honestly, a white savior complex who are convinced it's their job to let the poor, belabored proles have access to some crumbs of (properly selected) educational material or to act as heroes on behalf of the marginalized. You can find this out really quickly if you ask questions like, "What if someone needed INSERT BAD BOOK because they're studying the rhetoric of evil?" The idea that their public patrons might have equal (or even superior) intellectual needs to their own is completely anathema to them.

The profession is very credentialist and elitist. Very off-putting, personally, as someone from a complicated class background. I'd also use a throwaway, but I got MS as I finished my MLIS and so I'm useless to the profession and don't care.
