Even if you are paying attention, wouldn’t there be an inherent delay between passively paying attention and taking over a self-driving car? I don’t have any evidence but it seems like it’s inevitable. Furthermore, by design, even attentive, well-intentioned drivers are more likely to be distracted or under estimate risks if the car is doing the driving 99% of the time. The ‘well technically it wouldn’t have murdered that clearly visible child if you were paying attention’ defence is both specious and obviates a lot of the value of teslas autonomous driving tech.

I won’t argue there aren’t some inherent benefits of even basic driver aids, but if you pay have to pay 100% attention 100% of the time, the tech loses it’s lustre. This is a problem largely of Tesla’s own making IMO — their marketing and Elon’s public statements paint a much, much rosier picture and people buy into it.
Yes, after 18 years of WordPress development, the architects' excuse of blaming bad actors in plugin ecosystem has begun to wear thin, especially when contemporaries or predecessors like Firefox or Debian never had remotely the same level of problems with their users being hacked constantly by plugins/packages.

This is a good way put it, and it could be a useful goal for the individual to aim to speak as comfortably sober as under the influence of alcohol.

However, it's very likely that most people don't act like this, or even know that this is a goal to work toward. As an individual, I can act (or aim to act) unreservedly sober, but the other people I want to know better might not; and it takes more than one to carry a conversation.

It's possible to only choose friends who are comfortable opening up without alcohol (I believe this represents most of my current social circle, though this was coincidental versus by design), but I believe I would have missed out on meaningful friendships in the past if I filtered out potential friends based on this criteria.
Very cool saying, thanks for sharing it.
I've given it some thought, and I think the SDC manufacturer must be liable for any accidents the SDC causes. Who else is there? The passengers certainly can't be responsible for any programming or manufacturing errors.

There are corner cases and exceptions, but that has to be the rule.

Which should mean that as and SDC owner, you don't have to pay car insurance.
Everyone seem to assume that the only reason dates got pushed was because they were looking for premium customers. I don't think that's true.

I think a lot of dates that got pushed back are simply because they couldn't launch enough satellites to provide enough bandwidth in certain popular cells without degradation of quality. 'But tons of people who ordered way after me are getting them' you might say, but that's because they are being served by the same satellites in different cells that are likely less crowded along their trajectories. The were monetizing the capability that already exists, they are not prioritizing someone else.
To complicate matters further, conventional Traffic Aware Cruise is technically the third driver assist mode Tesla offer in their cars in addition to "AP"/"FSD", this of course also works without the painted line.

In defense of Wordpress, even getting to what Wordpress is requires having a decently designed system allowing for the flexibility that allows people to ship like... recipe maker plugins or the like.

I think a lot of CMS stuff start at first principles of "OK you need posts, and all this other stuff" but really Wordpress seems to be currently structured around the realization that the hard stuff is all the things that aren't shared between WP instances.

Is nobody capable of looking out the window at the street signs that tell you which lane you need to be in to turn right?
She'd love this.
I think you might be looking for protobufs? Or am I misunderstanding the problem you are presenting?
Ah okay. Where I've been the right lane is not occasionally impeded with traffic merging and exiting, it's almost constant, so lots of people hogging the left lane actually causes blockages from people trying to enter and exit.

I also haven't noticed the middle lane blockage problem that much. It's very easy to merge when people are traveling a constant speed in a predictable lane.

I can see where your problem is coming from though. Don't feel like you're talking to a brick wall though it's the nature of the forum it looks like a bunch of people all asked the same question around the same time (I didn't see the others when I hit reply) so you're actually responding to 3 different people, not one person who keeps being unable to follow.

> Which is a roundabout way of saying I think kguttag is right when he says, "ML2 looks like a product designed for the consumer market, but it was seen that it would be far too expensive for that market, it was recast as an 'enterprise' device." To me it's a not-great solution desperately looking for a problem.

Microsoft did the same thing with Hololens. First it was supposed to be an entertainment device for the home, where you could enjoy interactive experiences and mess with little Minecraft models on your coffee table. Well, that didn't pan out. Next they made a bid for the creative professional market, who might get a kick out of being able to manipulate 3D models in realtime through a headset. Oops, you can do this with a $300 Oculus Quest and a free Blender plugin. Okay, how about the enterprise market? They've got much deeper pockets, and we can just toss together a few productivity apps to make it seem attrac... what do you mean they don't want it?

Fine, we'll take it to the one place that will burn money on a nothingburger no matter the cost. We could bring these people a gilded pile of scrap metal and they'd pay 10x market price. There's only one customer that meets this criteria: the United States military!

Question-if marketing is solely restricted to social media, then what is the point of having a website at all? In the original article the author indicated they develop sites for medium-large industrial corps; and that most of these sites are brochure sites.

So if the marketing team at acme co want to sell customers on their new line of coyote-seeking anvils, what is the point of having a website if they can't update the site with all the features of the new anvils? If they can only put the updated copy on Facebook and Instagram, then they will actively avoid linking to the site, since the copy there talks about the v2 anvils that don't have the new vision based coyote acquisition targeting system.

I've worked in similar roles, and I don't like having to always be involved every time marketing needs to tweak the copy on a page. However, that led me to improve the site infra so they could make those changes themselves rather than wait for a developer to do it for them. And unsurprisingly, removing the forced delay and friction allowed them to vastly improve the page, sales noticed that they were getting more inbound leads. Turns out that having to reach out to another department was causing marketing to delay or cancel minor changes since "it didn't seem like a big enough difference to bother IT with". Telling marketing that they should only be using social platforms sounds like a good way for a developer to talk themselves out of a job, since then accounting will start thinking "why are we even paying this expensive salary if our customers aren't even visiting the site?" Sure I have the engineers typical disdain for marketing, but I do realize that it is a useful function and a necessary evil.
Sent you an email! Looking forward to talking.
I've actually been suspecting this will happen once solid state LIDAR technology crossed a certain threshold.

Traditional old school LIDAR units with spinning scan heads are why quite a few self driving cars have the odd bumps and protrusions on them. It's very easy to see someone who wants to make a "cool car" looking at these protrusions, deciding "lidar is shit" and doing everything possible to avoid it. There are some good engineering reasons to avoid traditional lidar units. Meanwhile solid state LIDAR tech has only been on the market for a few years and is still quite expensive compared to traditional LIDAR models, but its definitely superior for a lot of places people want to be able to use LIDAR or where LIDAR would be an excellent competitor to other technology currently in use such as 3D depth mapping and Time of Flight cameras. I briefly looked into some of this stuff when considering work on an "art game" using VR and various 3D scanning technologies in order to make a "fake" Augmented Reality experience as part of constructing the deliberate aesthetic choices of the project.

Solid state LIDAR will definitely be pushed forward by market demand for wider fields of view, lower costs, and smaller module size. All of which will eventually lead to a situation where it will be stupid not to augment the self driving technology due to the massive benefits with zero downsides.

Who is they? And are you talking about the total generating capacity? 3 nuclear plants per year is laughable compared to what needs to be done. It's barely enough to maintain the greenhouse gas footprint let alone reduce it significantly.

And nuclear would never happen thanks to the anti-nuclear / pro-fossil-fuel "green" lobby. I'm not saying it would, I'm saying it's been killed and along with it the climate by these lunatics.

Big coal is happy though, they're making some astounding profits in the past year or two, wind turbines or no wind turbines.
"One of mmWave's major advantages is its privacy-preserving nature."

Ha, haha, hahaha!

It can measure your breathing, heart signature, gait, etc. With machine learning this data will certainly be enough to identify you.
The similarity is in the problem to be solved, not the details of the compute pipeline. Depth must be inferred somehow, rather than measured by actively interacting with the surface, as it is in LiDAR.
That doesn't help with end of service life, it helps with uneven wear.

If all the tires wear evenly this detection won't help.
Of course they will. But that’s standard practice of every telecom company.

DAI is great in principle and is built on fascinating technology, but the incentives for issuing DAI are not worth the risks. DAI is only created as a means of leverage, you take your collateral, lock it into a contract and receive 1/3rd of the collateral's value back in the form of DAI with the idea being that you can immediately sell that DAI and buy more crypto with it. But because of this, DAI is created precisely when its demand is fairly low and it's destroyed precisely when its demand is fairly high.

When crypto markets are volatile there's more demand to cash out of crypto and into a stable coin, but volatility is also when people take on the least amount of leverage meaning that it's also when there's the least amount of DAI available.

When crypto markets are not volatile, then the utility of a stable coin goes down and yet that's also when people assume the most amount of leverage and hence when the most amount of DAI is available.

The end result is that the incentives for DAI don't really work out all that well.
I gave up alcohol almost entirely many years ago, primarily for health reasons. While the OP may be overselling it, at times it really does seem like a superpower.

If you're used to drinking in social situations, you may not realize how much mental capacity you (and the other drinkers) are leaving on the table. When you start being the soberest person in the room, you see everything with a lot more clarity than your inebriated peers. You could use this to your advantage in an adversarial setting, or just as a way to impress and charm people otherwise.

I did find that talking about not drinking made things more awkward in some situations. In that case, it's easier to "go with the flow." Indeed, I often will accept a drink and sip slowly, then dump the stuff when I go to the restroom, to avoid any awkward conversations. My favorite technique, back before the pandemic, was to order a seltzer water with lime at a bar. Most people never ask what you're drinking, and assume it's a boring vodka or gin and tonic.
They could've published their documentation so it would be possible to build a client terminal yourself out of readily available parts. You'll still have to pay for the service itself, obviously. And I'm not talking about satellites themselves, only about the user equipment.

The cost of administering that $600 monthly award is way above $zero.

It takes entire agencies scores of hours to receive, verify, investigate and cure deficient applications, handle appeals, and execute wage garnishment orders due to their own overpayment/accounting errors -- not to mention approvals.

"Oh we just figured out you made too much money 5 months ago. Sorry bub, you gotta pay back The State the past 5mo of benefits, and re-apply" (with a 90 day waiting period... && Watch out kid, next time this happens it'll be a 180day wait.)

After that's done, they then turn around and do it all again every 6 months because they're forced to re-collect(and vet/process/cure) the same information again via a mandatory "beneficiary 6mo survey".
Was editing my comment while you were commenting (removed service life, as software won’t detect dry rot or other defects undetectable from wheel speed measurements). Assuming tires wear evenly, you could still detect the change in rotation speed over time due to tread wear.
A technical error in one of the diagrams: Hall effect sensors are not binary, but one-dimensional, and are used so; their output voltage is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength. As for PIR sensors, fundamentally they’re certainly not binary, but I have no idea if they perhaps expose only a binary signal. A better example of a binary sensor might be an on/off switch.

In suburban US, automated taxis are way more accurate and for folks like my parents who don't drive. Taking an uber to supermarket and back? Easy. Taking a bus? Much more difficult (primarily because we don't have a good bus or tram culture here). Same with e.g. visiting friends/family.

Limited capability folks benefit a lot from easy to access taxi service. It won't replace folks who want to own a car or need to (e.g. commuting when public transit isn't good enough).
I know a couple of people who have seen them in the water while diving (for barramundi) in areas they thought were too far south for crocs. And there's some crazy divers who dive in Darwin harbour which to me seems insane, but they've been doing it for 30 years.

But typically no you wouldn't knowingly get in the water with them. You do hear of tourists getting taken from time to time.
The counterpoint is that places and culture can change. I’m sure there was a huge kerfuffle when cars started sharing roads with horse-drawn carriages in London, and I’m sure some people thought cars would never have a place, but here we are. If self-driving cars hit the mainstream in North America and Europe, I guarantee seemingly unfit cities will adjust because truly autonomous vehicles have sooooo many benefits.
Wow, talk about a tech news blind spot: I honestly though Magic Leap wasn't even around anymore. Last news I heard about them was they burned through $billions, their product woefully (almost fraudulently) failed to meet any of the hype they set out, they sold a handful of units, and then the company folded. How on earth are they still in business?
Death by a thousand cuts it is then.

Yes. You need to select one piece from each row.
Selections in different rows cannot have an O and X of the same color.

If you think of this in terms of 3-SAT, the O's are positive literals (like a, b, c etc.,) and X's are negative literals (like a', b', c' etc.,) and the color is used to denote the underlying variable (ie., a, b etc.,). Each row is a disjunctive clause (eg: a + b' + c, where + denotes Logical OR or disjunction). Consecutive rows represent a conjunction (eg: (a + b' + c).(a + b + c').

The condition ensures that we don't permit a selection such as b.b' or c.c' since they would evaluate to False in Boolean algebra. The goal is to get a selection that doesn't contain a literal and its complement.

Due to the distributive law in Boolean algebra, solving SAT is equivalent to finding a term that doesn't vanish to False when the formula is fully expanded out.

Thanks for trying it out.
There are more sophisticated techniques I’ve seen in local TV. Put two pieces of unrelated news one before another. Make sure the transition that nobody notices. This usually shed some bad impressions for the first news when done intentionally.
Your friends, family and people you don't like but do a favour for are all examples of nepotism because they got the job through a non professional relationship.

There's absolutely nothing stopping Tesla from adding back lidar/other sensors if the technology becomes cheaper or it turns out visual-only isn't accurate enough; Elon has other advantages that no other company is anywhere near competing with though too, and he clearly understands this, he understands his position well - and it's strong. He's also a very agile entrepreneur/engineer and not afraid to pull the trigger on whatever ideas come to his attention as being the best decision. He's also already succeeded in Tesla's mission - which was to get other vehicle manufacturers to transition to EV, so anything else after that is really just icing on the cake; Tesla stock holders however still believe strongly in him - and I'd argue rightfully so.

For now by using the cheapest technology he's arguably selling more EVs and/or making more profit per vehicle. If the market's competition requires a course change, then I don't see why he wouldn't take it - I don't think he'd fall pray to sunk cost fallacy; the reason for decisions may not be obvious to the public either, as we likely don't know details of his nuanced master plan.

Fine, so give me a Google Maps subscription price that does not show me ads, does not save my location history. I pay for YouTube Premium to avoid ads, I would pay for a privacy-preserving and ad-free Google Maps. Maps and navigation is the only reason I have a smartphone. If they can't offer that, I'll buy a feature phone and a Garmin Drive or some other device for nav.
Humans certainly don't reliably handle these conditions. ;)

It does seem like "something else" is needed for these kinds of low-visibility scenarios -- frankly, when nobody should be on the road.
Disagreed, I quit drinking when I was 18 and it was a super power. Not only I had now Saturday/Sunday morning where I was fresh, but when I did go out with my drinking friends and clubbing it felt like I had a super-brain (think the movie Limitless). The only problem is that, at least initially, it was harder talking to girls in the club, but I decided I'd overcome that myself over going back to drinking (and I did).

But to be fair I only drank once, maybe twice a week with friends (though not little), so I don't consider either me or my friends were` alcoholic. Also I had a new group of friends who didn't drink, so we instead did urban exploration. I did go back to drinking socially back in college when I was 20-something.

Now that I'm over 30, I miss more the non-drunk days than those I was drinking, though had great experiences in both.
