>Although the ages of drivers in Tesla’s crash rate data are unknown, their ages could be estimated from a 2018 demographic survey of 424 Tesla owners (Hardman et al., 2019).

Seriously? you trying to claim your method is more fair using 424 people in 2019, when Tesla has demographics of millions cars across the globe?

My conclusion:

Author is saying it's not fair to compare with some old car. Tesla was one of the first brands to mass adopt this safety features in every Telsa. This is the only brand that include camera, collision warnings in every, even cheapest modification. And they were the first to introduce many of these features. The rest are catching up. Why Tesla can't be proud of that? They give safety to every customer, no matter if it's the cheapest option or $150k+ car. Only volvo invest on par with tesla in testing facilities, in house extended crash tests ets.

Autopilot and similar system is safer compares to any car on the highway with old cruise control because they have features that force you to be focused. They can stop you on a traffic light, they can react faster on animal running across the road etc. And Yes all measures like collision warnings, notifications, makes your driving safe. Yes, you can use it without autopilot, but I as a consumer don't care. If I'm buying a car, fact that this car is much safer compares to 10 years old ford makes me more confident in purchase.

You can debate a lot on how easy is to avoid some of this safety measures. But if you an idiot you can fall asleep in cruise controlled car as well. Tesla will at least try to wake you up. And will stop on a traffic light.

FSD is a good example of an extension of this rational vs emotional thinking. FSD Beta has a very strict focus control. You look not on a road few times you're blocked. You don't hold a wheel few times you blocked. Etc.

So even FSD beta in it's current state is a complete garbage that quite often literally drives you into accident the way they enforce your attention fixes everything.

FSD beta with this limitations has 60k cars on a road. And 0 major incidents that lead to a major injury or death. Not counting few scratched rims and one time driver got off the road because he over reacted on some maneuver.

It's bizarre how much money legacy auto is poring into efforts to make tesla look bad. Before it was infamous data of burning EV's. But if you look at data a single car brand BMW has so 100 times more risk of fire compares to tesla. You don't see paid articles on Times square how dangerous is BMW.

Right now all major brands invest in EV and suddenly all this fire incidents disappear. And they switched to Autopilot and FSD.

Is there a room for improvement yes. Is the car that can stop on a traffic light, after some fixes for a cop's car, notify about potential collision, avoid automatically some collisions safer. Definitely yes. The rest is just hype, speculations and quite often corruption and paid articles.
Ask HN: Any good resources on implementing a push notifications strategy?
Hey HN community, I'm looking for some resources for creating a push notifications strategy for a mobile app. I haven't been able to find many great resources on the topic, so I thought I'd reach out to the community to see if anyone can help. Thanks in advance!
Spare a thought for those who spend any amount of time on Twitter. I'm sure there are those who can do it without losing their sanity. Perhaps that happens when you block things out so aggressively that you barely learn much of anything that's useful or new. But I'm definitely not one of those people, and I'm glad to be missing out. The four friends I have in real life will suffice, like they did for my parents, and their parents before them.

That's what I thought too. But I didn't see a link to the actual comic in the article.

In anime at least, CGI cuts costs a lot, especially for 3D scenes. On the other hand, people are getting better and better at doing CGI these days. In general I feel like current animation has more movement overall, but it's not budgeted well. For example, in the introduction of Patlabor 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydCLeclaKik, there are lots of still shots, but some movements are impressive, and the backgrounds are gorgeous. It is one of the best anime movie ever made though, so it's not like everything at that time looked like that.

I think it's pretty easy to observe this by, instead of looking at the hated public figures, looking at the championed ones. Right and left leaning female public figures still get a lot of vile comments thrown at them and a lot of sexualization from within their "support base". Men hardly receive that at all - we may be attacked by haters for our comments, but simply being a public woman online exposes you to a lot of emotional abuse.

Some women certainly avoid it by just not going to those neighborhoods of the internet, but if that neighborhood is somewhere you'd like to go (if, for instance, you like video games) you have to choose between receiving that abuse or just not accessing the same entertainment services as men.
The opening anecdote is about a video posted by a person who is widely known and recognized for promoting that type of content. In fact, founded a public organization based around it. Anonymity would keep out the cowards, but that may or may not be a substantial portion.
Really neat idea. Being able to avoid having to amass gobs of any particular material is tempting. These can be made of anything that can survive compression, and boy do we have a lot of ways of making materials strong.

I feel like there's two complications. First, the things as probably super positively boyant, if there's 70 bar / 750m of depth around them & a vaccum inside. Keeping them down seems difficult. I don't think of concrete as super dense.

The second problem I see is that they tend to work well at certain depths (can store more power deeper, up to their design limits, where they burst). This causes a bunch of sub-problems. The ocean has a lot of big drop offs- off the FL & GA coast is the Blake Plateau, at 500m, but there's a huge cliff down to the 1500m that is the Hatteras Plain: there simply isn't 750m of depth one can mount onto.

The desire to pick good depths also complicates tying this system to wind power. I don't think wind power tends to be installed at such depth. This doesn't change the wind generator much, but it does mean that instead of being able to dump high-amp power from wind-mill to your storage, now the two are separated. And so you have to run lines to the storage, and more critically, the storage system needs a powerful bi-converter to both sink and source power with. I suppose some extra energy conversion isn't a huge factor, but this isn't the nice on-site elegant solution I at first thought it might be.

In spite of these constraints, this still sounds like a great idea, full of lots of potential. I love the idea of power storage via physical means, not chemical. This one feels like it perhaps scale to gargantuan sizes quite possibly.

Side note, I spent a while looking for bathymetry maps online. https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=5ae9e1... was one of the only ones I found that had any readouts. Google Earth has a map but you have to read the scale, & the difference between 0m, 250m, and 500m is like a 2% shift in color value.

> Ever had somebody really try to kill you? I've had that happen AND I've received both death threats and physical attacks for
many BS reasons such as sticking up (as a straight bystander) for the right of gay people to assemble without being subject to physical attacks. I've seen many men, even straight and white, face possible death (such as being stabbed for real and going to the hospital) for standing up to protect other people's right to be free of harassment.

In fact I really have had that happen. It's really scary and shitty. Regardless the question was about the internet. And, if I'm understanding you correctly, both mine and your experiences came from organizing in the real world. This article is about just living on the internet and getting death threats for something as little as a tweet about having to put up with men interrupting your workouts
Is this data available anywhere? How do I know that non-autopilot Tesla mile per accident rates aren't horrible?

Tesla publishes their own data for the safety of autopilot, which I presume is based on their own analysis of accident records. Is this same detailed information available to other groups (insurers, NIST, etc)? Or do they just calculate an aggregate "Tesla mile per accident" rate that is a blend of the great autopilot rate and horrible human rate?

I'm not trying to be facetious here. I have no idea if this data is available to any groups other than Tesla themselves. And if so, do they publish those numbers?

I also wonder about yawning as a kind of "stretching" for the head/neck muscles, respiratory system, mouth, and brain. And general about the purpose of stretching as a way to somehow reset, awaken, or moderate nerve connections between the brain and various parts of the body.

I agree with many of the concerns the author raises, but I'm left with the question:

Given all this, what does layering give us?

It gives some deduplication, but only a crude form. It gives some reproducibility from building off a well-known base and tag, but not full reproducibility. It gives some security benefit from building off a well-known base, but not as large a benefit as standard package managers provide.

I would be excited to see a image distribution system based off of something like casync, maybe with an initial rootfs formed through image-focused distributions like yocto[1]. The embedded device ecosystem has been concerned with reproducibility, image signing, and incremental updates for awhile and I think their approaches are very applicable to container images.

People love when software does what they need, and some of them will be willing to fiddle with settings if they have to.

Settings can be well designed or poorly designed though. In a way, settings are really part of the design and should be thought of as such. If the settings are obvious to find and obvious in utility, it's not a matter of willingness to fiddle, it's just part of using the software.
Yes but then.. why bother? If you are running your own infrastructure, none of this matters because you have your own infrastructure. Add a new resolver zone, run a tor node, etc etc.

Such a weird article. Gnome is an awesome desktop, and I can only assume the article author is used to Windows.

No desktop icons? Yeah we don't use that anymore, it's not 1990. We type one or two chars in the program name and press enter. If you want icons, you can have it through extensions, but it's a very old paradigm and you really should stop clicking icons to start programs. There is no need.

Gnome has a single button for Do Not Disturb, and now you have no notifications from any programs bothering you while working. How cool is that? Being able to actually focus.

I could go on but I don't actually care enough to do so. Someone being wrong on the Internet is OK. :)
I believe the amount of crap on Facebook actually is reduced from the stuff on places like 4chan... but I also believe that the existence of 4chan empowers people to act out in other parts of the internet because "But Timmy is getting an ice cream" - I'm not certain if there is a term for internally rationalized what-about-ism but I think that's a factor.
> Suppose the models were trained only on greedy algorithms and then I provided a dynamic programming problem in the test set, (how) would the model solve it?

How many human beings do you personally know who were able to solve a dynamic programming problem at first sight without ever having seen anything but greedy algorithms?

Deepmind is not claiming they have a machine capable of performing original research here.

Many human programmers are unable to solve DP problems even after having them explained several times. If you could get a machine that takes in all of Github and can solve "any" DP problem you describe in natural language with a couple of examples, that is AI above and beyond what many humans can do, which is "awesome" no matter how you put it.

> the homogeneous, empty-headed masses

Well, this is how you're characterizing the people you should be trying to persuade to your cause. That's not going to work!

Here's a principle you can make a lot of hey off of: if some group seems like idiots doing something completely stupid and irrational, then it's actually probably you who isn't understanding something critical. If they aren't a group of people with literal brain damage, the problem is almost certainly that you don't understand something important about them. Dig in and find out what it is. This will pay off very substantially for you.
> cities designed around non-motorized transit

Buses and trains have engines and motors. You probably mean designing around public transit rather than personally owned vehicles.
I'm skeptical it'll replace programmers, as in no more human programmers, but agree in the sense 100% human programmers -> 50%, 25%, 10% human programmers + computers doing most of the writing of actual code.

I see it continuing to evolve and becoming a far superior auto-complete with full context, but, short of actual general AI, there will always be a step that takes a high-level description of a problem and turns it into something a computer can implement.

So while it will make the remaining programmers MUCH more productive, thereby reducing the needed number of programmers, I can't see it driving that number to zero.

As I see it, there can be a lot of benefits to everyone.

- Gov can easily collect consumption taxes through transaction fees

- Make transactions completely anonymous (similar to cash)

- Ease government infrastructure as we no longer need to print physical currency that can be lost or destroyed. Also potentially helping with counterfeit money. I'm also assuming coins would be pre-mined.

The major disadvantage I see is: Gov could reduce anonymity and further invade privacy of everyday citizens. I see this as too much power the dream of authoritarians.

I don't think you would need the public/private transaction paradigm (like zcash). We can watch transactions from wallets and know the owners without knowing who transactions are going to. This would operate the same way cash businesses operate. In a business wallet you'd still have to report everything on your taxes. We can still see when businesses make and lose money by tracking just their wallets. I think the best way to do this is not have wallets with special privileges nor privileged transactions. If we have to explicitly make transactions private they can do the same thing they do with encryption: "only bad guys use encryption because they have something to hide".

These are still not fair comparisons.

Legend and Justice League are both mediocre movies, but Legend won a ton of technical awards, including being nominated for Oscars for Makeup, BAFTAs for visual effects, and won an award for cinematography [0]. Justice League's list of awards is much more meager, and nothing for technical achievements. [1]

The Dune and Lawrence of Arabia comparison is also flawed. Sure they're both "acclaimed", But Dune is acclaimed as "One of the best films of the year", and Lawrence of Arabia is acclaimed as "One of the best films OF ALL TIME."

Also, Lawrence of Arabia is a real story of a real person set in the real world. So realism is bound to be important. Dune is a fictional story set thousands of years in the future in a different part of the universe. And specifically deals with a bit of mysticism and fantastical elements closer to fantasy than science fiction. Comparing the "reality" of their effects is apples and oranges.

I'll give you Star Wars for sure. Star Wars most assuredly did NOT benefit from "improved" technology.

It reminds me of the old EE 'Doc' Smith (Science Fiction) set of seven Lensman books. The last is an outlier, but for the first six books each feels like it is a similar tale as the previous ones but with the scales, powers, and threat levels turned up a notch.

Almost like having used up the ideas available, the only place to go now is incrementally growing the constituent parts. And that's how I feel about most modern action/adventure/fantasy/scifi stuff - to quote another genre: "this one goes up to 11".

But I don't want it going to 11. Even for my SF/Fantasy I want it to feel real. For me (and I know it is subjective) the author makes a good point.
