That's not hard for me to imagine. Now that I think about it, it should probably be standard for autonomous cars -- if there's an accident or something unexpected it should pull over, unless it can't reach the side of the road without hitting something or someone is trapped under the car.

Somewhat, but not entirely so. Managers can and should read git logs and bug tickets and design docs, and understand the architecture enough to have a reasonable sense of what the work entails. And managers should be engineers themselves and know that sometimes simple-looking work is actually very tricky… but at the same time it’s very unlikely that /every/ task looks like this.
Went to the State Fair of Texas and checked out the trucks and you are looking at ~70k if you can get it from a dealer MSRP.
This is such a poor use of numbers to prove a point. Any unsafe car - one - could potentially end multiple lives. Therefore, one unsafe car is unacceptable. Look up "Vision Zero". It's possible, and should be expected from our town planners, vehicle manufacturers, and drivers.
I've used many, but that's ancient history. For a long time I used webmail and only Thunderbird in recent years. News of an interface revamp were scary, but so far no serious breakage. I guess people's complaints are about very heavy mailboxes or, most likely IMAP.

That is a different way of thinking: email as sort of a database of personal information, integrated with calendar and contact manager. If you're like me, only mail and not a lot of it, Thunderbird will be probably fine.
Of course it will. They couldn't care less about children, they're just using them as a polical weapon to make people accept it. I have absolutely no doubt that the system will be immediately expanded to search for and punish wrongthink of all sorts.

Even then, little details like window tint, trim, bumper-stickers can easily differentiate...

If I hit the spacebar and moved on to the next word then that's the sole word I want autocorrect to be worrying about.

HIPAA is rather stringent, but we don't have anything like that for most other domains where a company might legitimately need confidential information. Instead we have the third party doctrine.
In a sane world, the existence of shitty human drivers would not be an excuse for lowering the bar for self-driving cars. It would be a reason to start treating a license to operate a motor vehicle on public roadways as a privilege rather than a right.
depends if you pronounce it 'uge or not ;P

AMD’s approach is similar to this. The efficiency core is the same core with less cache and lower clocks. It’s not a different micro architecture like in ARM and Intel designs.

> Are these autonomous vehicles so littered throughout California that you run into them weekly?

In SF yes. Even small amounts of driving in certain areas will have multiple daily interactions with these vehicles.
Pass it to someone else and say you got hacked. Dirty secrets need to be exposed.
> I find it ironic that the human driver is still at large

Ironic but completely expected. We have normalized and accepted the awfulness of human drivers to a degree that people just don't comprehend. Human would be terrible drivers even if you ignored the fact that many of them are chemically impaired, even if you ignored the fact that they are prone to rage and aggression.

As we consider the safety of self-driving vehicles, there is going to be a disorienting amount of cognitive dissonance as we are forced to confront the awfulness of what we already accepted and have been living with for a century. There were over 42,000 deaths due to motor vehicle accidents in 2022. That means if we created self-driving cars that were twice as safe as humans, they might save 21,000 lives per year and also kill 21,000 people per year. That sounds insane, but it would be a sane way of improving an insane situation.

Kibitzing about these individual incidents is a normal and inevitable human way to try to deal with the problem, but we need some way of measuring how deadly self-driving cars are in comparison to how deadly human drivers are. I never see that, so I wonder how we're going to know when we should loosen the reins on them? Are regulators actually doing their jobs, or are they just going to move inexorably forward while occasionally throwing bones to public outrage?

The stakes here are huge, tens of thousands of deaths and horrific injuries per year, and we will unnecessarily kill lots of people if we deploy self-driving technology too fast or too slowly.

The way this will probably work out in practice is regulators choosing the path of least resistance between uninformed public outrage and greed-driven industry pressure. What we should be asking for is a data-driven approach.

After evening rush hour has concluded, they're a plurality of vehicles on the road.
Yeah I get the sense (and I am absolutely not surprised) that they have been heavily downplaying the safety aspects. Like publishing the accidents per miles driven but only reporting under ideal conditions. I vaguely remember coming across an HN post about this very thing, a paper saying driverless car accidents under similar conditions as humans are much worse that was previously reported or something like that, and that the companies have been massaging the data.
The person who hit and run the woman in the first place shows this is obviously not true. You think they didn't notice?There was a muni bus who hit a pedestrian a few weeks ago and didn't even notice.

*HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

To be fair I had to look up what the acronym stands for.
I don't know if this was a homeless woman or not but there's plenty of times I've seen in SF of some mentally disturbed homeless person in the middle of the street.

In those situations I would 100% stop completely in front of them and/or drive very slowly around them. The difference between a regular jaywalker and someone who is mentally disturbed is the mentally disturbed jaywalker is unpredictable and you have no idea what they'll do next.

The right decision in this case was for both cars to at least slow down if not stop in front of the crosswalk. The Cruise car driving normally just because the walker happened to just pass to its left without slowing down doesn't seem like the best decision.
AGs sue Meta for ' exploitative and harmful acts' against American children

This is an attempt to solve the right problem (CSA) but of course the wrong way.

It's like 30 years ago saying "people record such abuse onto VHS tape - if we talk to Sony and Scotch we can prevent this in some way". Well actually it is a little more realistic but still ... preventing Child Sexual Abuse should be a huge and high priority for all governments, all citizens.

If there was some sure fire guaranteed method we would do it tomorrow, no later the cost

We just don't really know how - it is some combination of mental health reform, massive educational reform, child social services reform so that the really at risk kids are treated but also extending that meaningfully to all children.

I would be interested in any clever ideas
That's not following their reasoning at all, it's a strawman. His point was that a business shouldn't be able to claim that doing something we want/require them to do is too hard and just not do it, which is what they currently do with content moderation.

> When you lump all legislation, government initiatives, reforms, taxes, etc together and say "this is a cohesive, person-like entity I can reason about"

But it is actually a person-like entity. It is a weak hivemind composed of humans who have (for the most part) had their own individualistic tendencies suppressed or even eliminated.

It's the most human-like non-human you'll ever see.

It's not unfair to think of it as person-like. It's not unreasonable to think of it as person-like. It is, in many cases, dangerous to think of it in any other way.

But, there are people out there who find it inconvenient to their political ambitions if you think this way (or, really, there are politics-entities out there for whom it is inconvenient and who dangle their semi-individual chelicerae out to belittle and chastise you for it).

> Or reptile people?

Reptile people would be a relief. They just want to eat babies and impersonate the queen or something.

“The woman got dragged 20feet”

With respect this part is not clear. Only that the woman moved 20feet.

The DMV has not made clear whether she moved 20feet from the location of original Collision (ie with the human driver) or she was dragged 20feet as the cruise car kept driving. They’ve let the audience fill in the blanks and we’ve collectively come to the more exciting conclusion.
Or you can not code your autonomous vehicle to try to move after getting into a collision, because if someone is caught under the car, you shouldn't try to move the car anyway.

It's hilarious that the fucking things park themselves if you put a traffic cone on the hood, but if they get into a crash, especially one with a pedestrian? BEEP BOOP MUST MOVE!
Sounds like they just don't want to pay for mercenaries.
Great idea - I'm going to take personal action to stop my data from getting into the hands of corporations. Now all I need to do is...

- Stop using credit cards and taking loans, or go through every payment processor's arcane process to stop them from sharing my transaction data with advertisers

- Learn what a "tracking pixel" and "device fingerprinting" is and install browsers/extensions to block these technologies, breaking several websites in the process

- Stop receiving images in my emails

- Decompile and screen all my mobile apps to make sure they don't use something like Foursquare's Movement SDK, which allows app developers to create location-aware apps at the cost of sending their users' location data to Foursquare, who then sells it. Foursquare is just one of a half-dozen companies who do this and probably the most transparent, so I've got my work cut out for me.

- Gather a list of all major customer segment providers (companies like Neustar and Claritas) and figure out where and how they get their individual-level data (this is often a fiercely guarded trade secret) so that I can avoid making it into their data collection funnels.

- Find a mobile carrier who won't sell my cell phone data.

- Find a pharmacy who won't sell my aggregated prescription data to IQVia or one of its competitors

- Stop voting (voter rolls are often public or buyable and include your address)

- Never donate directly to a political campaign

- Only buy a house via an LLC with a registered agent

- Only deal with merchants who won't sell my transaction history

Yeah, this seems easier and more tenable than privacy legislation. Definitely.

My day-to-day experience with Cruises on the road is much better, mile for mile, than with human drivers.

Cruise's failures, in my view, have come broadly at the long tail where their cars stall out entirely in the road due and it cascades to other Cruises.
Seems like Cruise doesn't actually have this. If so, why aren't we hearing a report from the remote driver? Why did the remote driver let the car drag a woman? Why do remote drivers let Cruise cars screw up over and over again, block emergency vehicles, etc...

If I'm right, then Cruise will have to add remote drivers and then we can call them remotely operated cars instead of driver-less cars.
Do you think a tablet and bt kb/mouse is more similar to a thinkpad than a modern day thinkpad? I don't understand what point you seem to be making here. You can absolutely get another laptop. There's nothing keeping you stuck except you.
I agree with you. I feel that when faced with books with large amounts of transactions that have similar dollar amounts, you simply need to take another step in terms of reconciliation to make sure you are matching the correct transaction to assure the other side of the transaction versus matching the bank balance. You can't just use machine learning to try and match these transactions, but need a specific process to match them.

I think this is a niche issue related to accounts receivable potential errors as most companies I work with don't have the problem of constant repeating amount transactions.
In case of a serious accident, especially one where a person has come to harm, not blocking traffic shouldn't be the main concern anymore IMHO...

a11y, i18n, l10n are all reminiscent of a software anti-pattern - optimizing writability over readability.

if (condition); then 1; else 0;

is 31 characters long, while

condition ? 1 : 0

is 17 characters long, or about 45% shorter. However, the first option imposes less cognitive load on the (code) reader. The only code syntax one needs to know is the if-then-else construct, which is taught in every introductory programming course. The second option requires specific knowledge of the ternary operator, which a significant number of programmers are not familiar with. The syntax of the ternary operator also varies by programming language, whereas if-then-else is far more ubiquitous.

Shorthand is useful when taking notes or when working with limited space. In the context of discussing a11y, i18n, and l10n in online documentation, neither of these things are true.
I remember back when I was working at a startup that used C# and then moved to a different startup where I was responsible for choosing framework, so long as it was NodeJS. Back then, the back-end TypeScript ecosystem was very small. A couple of the frameworks used IoC and DI, which of course were a standard feature of the C# back-end I had worked on. But I never really understood what IoC and DI were for, so I didn't use one of the bigger TypeScript frameworks that used them.

At the time, I thought I was dumb for not understanding the point of those things, but now, years on, I think those things really are just unnecessary.

I do like C# btw and would be happy to work with it again.
There need be no corruption, for bad outcomes to occur. True that it never helps, and perhaps even true that when there is corruption, there tend to be slightly more bad outcomes.

But the bad outcomes are just decisions, most of which are neither illegal nor plainly unethical, made so quickly and relentlessly that real people get chewed up by them.

yes, but wouldn't it be easier to remove the unsafe drivers? All of this AI would be really great at automatic traffic enforcement.

Of course the US has dug itself in a hole where many places require being able to drive to get around, putting unsafe drivers in a bit of a bind...
I took one ride in a cruise car in San Francisco. A person on a moped in front of me accidentally dropped their phone on the road. The person stopped their moped in the middle of the road but the cruise car insisted on continuing and started jerking around.

Later, the car in front of me was going down the hill and my cruise car kept accelerating and then braked very hard once its sensors were able to see that something was in front of it.

It was an okay experience, but I’ll be honest, I don’t think I would be willing to take myself in it again or my family anytime soon. And honestly, I can’t believe that moped driver didn’t get hit/I didn’t get whiplash.
In a lot countries outside the US this kind of customer support happens on Whatsapp.
you're describing a goal or a requirement, not a baseline.

baseline in this case means minimum to be considered acceptable. We have been allowing humans to drive vehicles for as long as there have been vehicles.

Why would we not use that as the baseline? Do autonomous vehicles need to be absolutely perfect before they're allowed on our roads? or just be as good as humans, with the possibility of being better?
