If the accident data for humans contains information about weather, location, additional complications, then it should be possible to only filter out accidents that are within Waymo's restriction. You'll similarly need to filter the human-driven miles, but a statistical approach doesn't seem to hard.

So ... possible, but TFA doesn't say, of course.

Fatalities are significantly more likely if you're driving at night than during the day, so probably yes.

But probably not better than just needing drivers who you can trick into providing cars.
They do appear to be fudging it. At least for first practice example with the circle, it appears to show a perfect 50-50 split when you're up to 5% off (in area) in either direction.
That's my point - it's an attempt just not an (very) effective attempt.

I don't know what is effective - hence why a group of otherwise presumably intelligent and well intentioned lawmakers are throwing this hail mary pass.

The sarcastic suggestion of recording every move of every child is terrible - but honestly I can see something like it happening (presumably by parental consent).

I have often promoted an idea of "MOOP" - where we record ourselves in real time and over millions of people a open scientific view of human behaviour can be built up and optimised - from spending habits to personal interactions

Somewhere between utopia and dystopia
For completion. You actually have real driverless public transport systems functioning for many years now with autonomous metro and rail systems across the world.

It is obviously a much easier problem to solve due to its constraints.

What is interesting to me is that we have completely altered our transport networks to fit the new paradigm of cars +100 years ago, widening roads, asphalting roads, building motorways, parking lots, etc.

But somehow anything that comes after must be backwards compatible with this 1950's US Detroit vision of the car centric world.
That may create a parasitic battery drain if I radio is constantly seeking connection to a cell tower and not finding it. Subaru experienced a similar problem with their StarLink service after the 3G network shut down, car batteries started draining while trying to talk to towers that no longer existed.
It's the go to for a lot of security teams (a fact i'm sure Malwarebytes wishes leveraged into more sales for their actual enterprise product) for routine stuff (random adware etc - no one can afford to run full forensics on all those all the time).

It's odd that they wrote that right out there on an incident report publicly shared and related to such a high profile potential breach though, for something like this it really has to be more of a 1st step triage than a definitive nope nothing wierd here...
I wonder what the resistance of underground wiring is to rocket attacks. If the space in between is repeatedly getting hit by explosions, it seems likely the blasts would cut wiring at some point.

I use qBittorrent, and all I have to do is tell it to "Move" the torrent after the download is complete.

It only moves files in the torrent, and leaves redundant stuff in the old directory.
At least offline gaming is way better for several reasons. One, games lack the algorithm directing them towards arbitrary directions, possibly exact opposite of what you would like. Two, the child chooses what they play, and focus on the one thing they're doing. Three, playing typically is a much more active activity instead of passive consuming.

But it's still not something you should allow/encourage kids to do for several consecutive hours or instead of sleeping.
I hate it when a cli forces ordering of args when there's no reason to! It's mitigated somewhat by decent tab-completion that only completed what is allowed.

"I cannot understand how this is legal."

It's legal because Parliament passed the legislation. Anything Parliament passes is legal. It's the very definition of legal.

Those who don't like that need to get the relevant people elected and change the law.

It's not a difficult system. We all have a vote.

There is no legal god in the British system and we recognise no external one. It's all down to the British people and their representatives.
>why don't you instead focus on public transport, which is by default "driverless" for millions of people if you ignore a couple of metro/train drivers per 1000s of people.

> If you drive a car that kills a child, you (potentially) go to jail.

If you weren't being negligent, the odds of going to jail are very low.

We can and should have the same "potential" for the people designing the car's software. But Waymo seems to be developing their code properly so it would never trigger for them.

> Are you really advocating a world where we change the laws to give Waymo a license to kill?

Everyone already has a license to kill if the activity is sufficiently sanctioned and the particular death is sufficiently unforeseeable.

> Read the typical software EULA, it is negligent by default.

What? Disclaiming liability isn't negligence.

> NestJS is one of those things where people coming from other languages like Java don't know how to develop without the patterns that Java gave them.

This is EXACTLY how I felt using NestJS. Except, IMO, it took the worst part of Java (Spring DI, esp. the over-verbose, make-changes-in-4-random-files-to-get-an-object style they did it circa early 2010s, instead of the much cleaner styles they have today) and shoved it into a language that is built on a completely different paradigms and constraints.

Not had a single pleasant experience working with NestJS, especially once it hits a certain scale, and you are just bogged down running between modules, services, controllers and DI-hell
My preferred design solution is:

- no escape sequences unless both standard input and output are a TTY;

- have a "plain mode" option which disables the fancy terminal control even if standard input and output are a TTY.

I think the kind of system where you don't have terminal emulation is not going to have environment variables.

But even tiny embedded systems with kilobyte memories can connect to serial lines with a terminal emulator on the other end. They won't have one built-in, needless to say.
I think a lot of people my drive because of bad weather specifically, e.g. it is raining.
That’s a reasonable intuition, but it’s not a bug. Global scopes are isolated between realms by design, and that applies to built-ins as well as their prototype chains.

"slightest bit of irritation or frustration in response."

I'll admit I could have been kinder, but I'm not sure I'd call their irritation "slight". You're really downplaying the (clearly intentional) audacity of their response as well as how often these sorts of audacious responses happen. It's hard NOT to get aggressive in these communications when their intentions are clearly rooted in just making me go away. It's a very common pattern and a very frustrating one at that, especially when the gov folks are intentionally obstinate on top of everything else. Here's another example of an agency that started off aggressively and got egg on their face from their hubris to show what I mean:

"The production of the requested records for March 5, required the time of 5 interns (3 unpaid) who all worked 6 hours cutting and pasting the emails from paper copies. This also required staff time to collect and print the emails and review for the security concerns we indicated in an earlier email. The estimated cost, which was not charged to you, was conservatively, $412 for the record we produced:"

To this, followed by the records for free, after I sent them instructions:

I have been working with our IT folks and may be able to extract to a spreadsheet to fulfill your request.

But anywho, whenever I teach FOIA stuff these days I always start out with the advice to always be kind. So it's a lesson learned.
> Suddenly someone is like “I would have done it from this other approach” and you have no idea whether it's tractable

I find myself on the other side of this, all the time.

Suddenly someone comes up with some work that they have done without involving anyone else. I know this codebase, and I know moving that cache invalidation will make the codebase harder to understand, and also runs counter to the multi month effort you had to move all cache handling to the shared library which every other codebase in the product uses.

I try to be very careful about it, "have you considered using this other approach instead?" usually means unless you do this there will be the need for an even bigger rewrite in the future, but nobody can really take comfort in that.

The answer is that post facto code review is really unsuited for collaborative development. You start some work, you better involve other people straight away. Bounce ideas with a partner or two that really knows the codebase so you both understand what should be done and why. Unless you agree what it is your suggested change should achieve, there can be no useful code review!

When you are very a tiny team this mostly follows naturally, but always gets lost when the team grows and are split in several, and when individual developers starts to lose track of the codebase as a whole.
Doing several orthogonal things is typically better than doing just a single thing.
Aww the article linked in Reddit is dead
Just because it doesn't use formal theory now --- does not mean it/we shouldn't use it. I'm talking about needs, not haves.
To me it was also crazy how basically being the third player to the table for the modern smartphone, they pretended to already be in Apple's position. Like you said, lack of third party apps killed it. On a whim I wanted to dabble in WP dev a bit in I think late 2014, and just to launch the dev environment I needed to have a dev account which was still paid at that point iirc. I guess that's how you get more people to port their apps over to a platform that has no market share.

And obviously the lack of all the Google apps. Again there was obviously some manager on crack thinking that that'll get everyone to switch to the according Microsoft offerings, and maybe people just stop using YouTube. But surprise, it didn't work out!

Also the aggressive power saving which meant every time you were sending some photos on WhatsApp or other messenger, you had to make sure to keep the screen on and the app in the foreground until it's done uploading, otherwise there was a 90% chance it would get aborted and restarted next time you turned on the screen.

Indeed, but it's not an option if you have more than one email account on the same service.
Price and cost are two things. Cost is about the same everywhere. Somebody has to pay for it. The way energy markets work you pay for that indirectly via taxes, subsidies, and other incentives. And you pay some of it directly via whatever price the energy has. And some of the cost is offloaded on future generations via loans or simply deferring spending on e.g. nuclear storage, cleaning up oil spills, and dealing with global warming. That trillion dollar IRA in the US is going to have a cost. I'd say it's a good investment though. But it's not free.

There's a reason Danish and German companies currently dominate the exponentially growing market for wind and offshore wind. They have invested wisely into these sectors over the years. The cost for that is indeed reflected out in energy prices. That's not that different from how the US has subsidized in its energy sector via multi trillion dollar wars to secure access to "cheap" oil, lots of government subsidies flowing to oil companies, etc. Just so it can pretend to have cheap energy. And of course as renewable cost drops, those prices can come down too.

At this point a lot of the price is actually just paying for US LNG imports (production of which is subsidized in the US!) and coal imports. Getting rid of that dependence is indeed becoming more urgent for the Germans.

Inheritance is considered harmful nowadays even if you ask the most hardcore OOP folks.

That leaves us with composition, which isn't unique to OOP and eliminates one of the core "benefits" claimed by OOP proponents. (Object oriented thinking basically. Animal <- Cat, Dog, etc.)

Your argument (as many others) falls into the category of OOP minimalism. Basically, it says: "Do less OOP". That's part of the philosophy for years now. It shows that OOP is essentially self defeating as there will be nothing of it left after every new "best practice" has advised us to get rid of each single OOP concept.

It's time to wake up now.

I recommend pipx (https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) for this to get the same basic result. While it's not a pre-compiled binary, it is a standalone installation that takes care of dependencies and virtual virtual environments in a way that the user never has to think about them. As far as they're concerned, they `pipx install ...` and it "just works".

Well, I mean, that’s probably about 2 weeks of work at contractor rates. Not that much in the grand scheme of things. Especially when you’re only paying for wins, not attempts
Oh yes, I do agree that the sample size is problematic, but that's honestly not uncommon in anything with medical research. Samples sizes are always crazy small and people are making wildly too large of conclusions from them given that. But it's also not like you can expect to form a hypothesis and then get 50k people to participate in a study. You gotta show that there's something to the idea first. That's what these kinds of papers are about.

And for the dropoff rate, I'm less concerned with that than 1) the (different) bias introduced by the people who chose to drop out vs not and 2) the overall sample size being smaller. Were people that dropped out uniformly distributed and there was still a large sample size, it wouldn't be of any concern. The statistical error you're making here is actually the same as the Monte Hall one. Basically, ignore the previous group and pretend they don't exist. Though there probably is a bias introduced from the dropout (which isn't biased in the Monte Hall problem), but there's so many other effects going on here that it's hard to say. (And medical students and human phys students aren't known for having the strongest stats skills. To be fair, it's a fucking tough field and they got a lot of extra factors that don't make it any easier)

But again, let's never think of these works as proofs of effects but rather like a proof of concept. Even if they didn't have any dropout I'd say the same thing here. Evidence is good, more people makes the evidence stronger, but you gotta keep pushing for stronger and stronger evidence but university research papers in human studies are just never strong evidence.

I am a researcher. I do think it is good that you are being critical, but it's often too easy to be overly critical and is a mistake a lot of junior people make. There are ALWAYS mistakes and are ALWAYS things to poke holes in. But that's not the point of publishing. The point of publishing is to communicate to your peers. So in that respect being overly critical is a hindrance to scientific progress. It's because the context matters. This actually ties into my other comment in the thread fwiw. Just make sure to see things for what they are (it's why I basically ignore articles that talk about papers now, because they do the same thing but usually vastly over exaggerating the conclusions.)

Architecture Has a Problem with Overusing Jargon

Currently, nearly 50% of the global oceans meet the criteria for a marine heat wave, periods of anomalously warm ocean temperatures that are higher than 90% of the previous observations for a particular date

they are now more frequent because of climate change, but they were common in the past too. common as in "not in any way special, strange, or unusual"

"Present for several months" is common too for marine heat waves, they cover very large surfaces so they can persist for weeks to months or even years, and occur at subsurface levels
It’s fairly significant. 6% is standard, and million+ dollar homes are not exactly rare these days.

I think paleographers think of the text as an abstract object and manuscripts as approximations of it. E.g. you might have a couple hundred manuscripts (and other things like printings, etc) of Aristotle’s Physics, but the text is what you get after you identify and try to correct scribal errors.
I think the ideal, in all fields, is to create a love of the field. Einstein wanted to be a physicist, but no university was interested in hiring him. So he went to work at a patent office, while continuing to pursue his love of physics. And that patent office is precisely where he would end up writing some of his most influential papers on a number of topics, including special relativity. In fact his paper on special relativity, "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" offered exactly 0 academic references, but did cite his patent office coworker Michele Boso for assistance and suggestions.

So in modern times, are we creating a culture where people are going to be enamored by and intellectually curious about the past? Or one where people might have little interest in such or even regard it with disdain?

This solves the problem in two ways. The first is by creating people who will find a way to make things work, in spite of adversity. The other is by making your suggestion happen naturally. A person grows up with a love of history but, perhaps out of necessity, is unable to pursue it in earnest. However, they become successful in other fields, and then naturally choose to become a patron of their passion, for the next generation.

I think that future is a long way off for lost places. We haven’t seen these really proven to be ready for most urban environments. We haven’t seen them perform well in randomized conditions (road work, emergencies, marathons, critical masses, etc). We see them do well in good weather and predictable traffic conditions.

I’d love to have better transit options, whatever that looks like (including driverless cars), I’m just skeptical of us getting there on a large scale anytime soon.
