"Now let’s compare these distances with the capabilities of various sensors:"

Many cars monitor rotational speed of the tires in order to determine whether a wheel is slipping. A Model 3 can detect whether a tire is new or old based on tread depth, something I learned the hard way.

If trucks were outfitted with rotational encoders on all tires, 'slipperiness' could be monitored periodically by, for example, tapping brakes and checking whether all wheels continue to rotate at the same speed. In emergency braking or maneuvering, the rotational speed of all tires can be input to the recovery algorithm to perform braking. If the brakes are independently controlled, this can be performed per wheel.

More generally, trucks run in fleets and on routes. Similar to aircraft reporting turbulence so the next craft can adjust, trucks can report road conditions so that approaching trucks can adjust their speed or pull over completely if conditions are so bad.

Dr. Hart-Smith on Outsourcing – Boeing, 2001
Discord does have threads, just that they are so heavy weight and even less discoverable that they don't get much use.
Boeing's slow and gradual deterioration somewhat poetically mirrors a similar trend in the entire country of USA as well. Once a pinnacle of engineering and innovation, 50 years ahead of everyone else in all respects, now revealing inner rot that has been building up for decades unseen.

What was the last war that USA decisively won? When did an astronaut go to orbit in an American rocket? (SpaceX is the exception that proves the rule). What can USA manufacture at greater scale, with better quality, for cheaper cost than anyone else in the world? Does the median American have access to the best quality of life and Healthcare? What about education?
This article is certainly interesting, but none of these arguments are new so it could have been written five years ago.

It would be interesting to hear what a company like Aurora and their backers were thinking back in 2020. It seems unlikely that they did not come up with these arguments themselves, so what were the counterarguments?
The annoying thing about that is that it lets people repeatedly keep building in exactly the same spot.

Many wonderful paragraphs here, but to pull out perhaps a crux:

> If you were advertising a car, was it better to show a picture of a car, or of a pretty woman? If one was selling shirt collars, was it better to do so under the headline “Murder!” or the headline “Quality Shirt Collars”? To make a long story short (and to skip over the proto-pataphysical techniques by which Nixon established what we might call a “science of irrelevancy”), Nixon found that “irrelevant illustrations do attract more attention and hold interest longer than do relevant ones.” 8 Which is to say: systematically doing violence to sense raised revenue. This could be proven in his laboratory. Would it be wrong to say that we live, in many respects, in the world evolved from that finding?
That brings back fond memories. In high school (a long time ago), I coded up a client-server application in Perl/Delphi to utilize the ISDN D-channel to transmit small amounts of data by repeatedly dialing a destination, using the call initiation metadata to communicate, and then hanging up before the call got established.

In Europe at that time, every call (even local ones) started getting billed as soon as the dialed party picked up. So effectively, this allowed for fee-less small applications that didn't need much data, but that I wanted to invoke many times a day (think checking email, checking server status, IM, etc).
I think we want some encoding that associates words or sentences with similar meaning (close embeddings?) with similar colors, and use some space filling curve such that nearby words correspond to nearby pixels. Then we could use lossy image compression like JPEG.
I’ve seen a few similar cases.

I think some of these brokers have trouble reconciling when they receive information vs when it was relevant or get confused on similar names.

is it impossible for the government to regulate this stuff with fines for data breaches or something? Effectively incentives not having the data?

I rented a new apartment recently. They wanted so much info including pictures of my driver's license, SSN, etc I'm 100% sure their system is not secure

Assuming the need is due to a catastrophe with Earth and not the Sun, why leave the solar system? If we can build a ship with resources that lasts generations, park it in Earth's (or another Sol planet's) L4 or L5. Going in search of another star seems foolish.

One thing EVs need to address is the cost of repairs.

Yes an ICE engine needs regular maintenance, but currently that cost savings in an EV is offset by the larger repair costs as well as wait times for repairs (due to parts availability, like dearth of OEM parts, like you can’t go down to NAPA and get parts.
Oh, sorry, I meant recovering the energy to propel the ship. I overlooked the part about sending it back to the trebuchet.
Why post a 2 year old study about something that everyone (who wasn't living in a cave) has heard about a thousand times? 1626 reports after 354,100,845 doses is remarkably low, but again, everyone already knows that.
1,000kg by 1m is about 3Wh.

A Tesla Powerwall is 13.5 kWh.

So you either need 4,500 tons by 1m, or 1 ton to be raised 4.5km, or 67 tons by 67m. To match a single home's battery backup.

Doing that for cheaper than $2,000. Which is what a battery that size costs in large quantities.

That sounds pretty unlikely.
Well, I'd argue that fundamental things changed at all. On the contrary, humans got rid of their usual stressors like death, hunger or sickness. So maintaining mental health should be _easier_.

The new things of 21th century might me discipline of dealing with unnatural abundance of pleasure/information/change/people, but simple countermeasures already pop into my head without too much thinking, like abstaining from read news or social media.

Or learning to ignore the cultural values spread by random people around. Homo sapiens are known for unconscious masochism by accepting harmful values and proudly battling them :-)
I moved to Southern Europe, and I find it funny that people here are more joyful and content despite they earn less $$$ than citizens of depressed hardworking superpowers. Of course, they may have their own problems, but even on the subconscious level their facial expressions or postures perceived as noticeably relaxed.
Taub, a science writer, has a theory and book to sell. His theory that drugs instead of diet leads to later problems is pretty well established. I don't know if he also discusses how insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes starts, or how the ability of the pancreas to make insulin in adulthood can be damaged by fat soluble poisons leaking into and out of fat cells.

As an alternative to his book, I suggest looking at the research on plant based diets fat toxity. https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/diabetes/

Is this satire? That’s not how humans work at all. Even a very rational player will make a relative trade off call of the probability of an action having an outcome and the size of the outcome. Case in point: driving with almost no sleep, driving while drinking, etc. and humans are quite often irrational and take risks just because they’re seeking the adrenaline rush. And that’s for their own life. We can easily also discount the life of strangers behind an abstract “I don’t know them” mask.

> If the factory owners had paid them a living wage to operate the machines instead of replacing them with literal child slaves

I never said the factory owners were the good guys.

But let's take your very contemporaneous hot take and play it out.

1. The weavers were skilled labor. The industrial process was so easy a child could do it. The fair pay for operating that machine was never going to be equal to the weavers wage.

2. The difference in rate of production was massive. This wasn't a price drop, it was the floor falling out. Think 1 person now able to produce as much as 500 weavers.

The weavers didn't give a shit about kids or fair wage! They simply were being replaced and mad about the loss of income! Even if they had been hired on by the factory owners, there would have been enough of them unemployed (500 to 1) that it was going to play out the same way!

> The word "all" here is excluding far, far more people than you realise. Your "better world" is built on the suffering of hundreds of millions.

Yes, no more polio, no more rindapest, most of the globe has a cell phone and access to a wealth of knowledge... we didn't die of bubonic plague, we dont have dead siblings or dead mothers in child birth.... It's a much better world.

Im also acutely aware of the human suffering in my PC from cobolt, and rare earths! With a nice side of environmental damage. I'm well aware that the coffee I drink and the chocolate I eat is a product of child labor. I'm aware that by earning more than 100k a year I'm in the top 10% of the global population.

There is no point in moralizing about it, because there is no point in the past where it was "better" than right now! We as a people are making progress and until that stops being true we need to be grateful were at the top and keep moving everyone forward...

I had the exact same thought when I read that.
The "extremes" are of illusion: the media hasn't been this unified before. Even in WW2 there was more diversity of opinion in big business / government "advised" media. It was possuble to say in polite society "perhaps the propaganda is wrong".

Time only really matters for the ships. A ship sitting around, full or empty, is burning money.

Also a wonderful anaecdote, WRT LSD and Tech - when Hoffman's 100th birthday happened they had an interview with one of the founders/first employees of Cisco, and he stated they were against drug testing, because they discovered the logic for BGP and RIP routing protocols in epiphanies due to LSD.

> This is also how it is used by "leetcode enthusiasts" so imo they are using it correctly.

I never said they used it incorrectly. In fact, inversely, I tacitly acknowledged the fact that it was used correctly. I said they pigeonholed a generalized phrase into a specific use case. E.g. a word/phrase that can be used to describe many similar but distinct concepts in the same field, as you yourself acknowledge.

If you're going to take umbrage with someone's words, it's better not to misunderstand them or misphrase them.

Its been forever since I set it up but you can also sync via ssh, so, wirelessly recursively sync a directory.

I think I loaded my books over USB, then synced daily news and additional books via rsync. Some of the content was auto generated and dumped into the dir like some auto fetch and email subscriptions, some was manual like copying in a new book after purchase.

But its not a very complicated problem, calibre just does a ton of other stuff too outside of copying books into a specific folder structure.
Believe it was 1995 or '96. We had 20 remote sites connected with "128K" ISDN connections. There were a pair of PRIs at our main data center. Ascend PRI router (concentrator?) on one end, Ascend ISDN boxes at the remote site. (IRC, Ascend was formed by former Hayes modem engineers). Occasionally there would be issues bringing up a site and I would be invited (allowed?) into the Telco Central Office to troubleshoot. Standard ISDN troubleshooting tools were a laptop, a portable sniffer (Toshiba laptop with 96K of memory and Network General Ethernet adapter), a BERT tester and, occasionally an oscilloscope. For the more difficult sessions I would work with a remote Anixter engineer (before they were bought and screwed up by SBC) who was a veritable rocket scientist. We'd been running clean for a couple of years, and I was on vacation at Disney Florida with my wife and small children when I got the call that one of our supervisors had somehow managed to wipe the configs on the PRI boxes. I spent the next two hours on a bench under the Epcot ball walking one of our best desktop people through reconfiguring the boxes from memory. I do not miss ISDN, 56/64K, T-1, T-3, SONET. Currently running on privately owned fiber and never want to go back.

Genetic algorithms are not deterministic, whereas a DP solution is going to be deterministic with very easily calculable bounds on execution time. Comparing the two as you do, in my opinion, shows a fundamental gap in algorithms understanding.

Sensors and their ranges aren't the right thing to point to. Off-the-shelf options are typically geared towards the ranges useful for passenger vehicles because that's where the volume is, but with money and time one can design something different. It's possible to achieve a sensible link budget for lidar or radar at much-longer ranges. The sensors will be bigger, they'll consume more power, and they'll cost more. But it's totally achievable.

There are a lot of differences between passenger vehicles and trucks. The physical dynamics of articulated vehicles, the mission profile, and social dynamics come to mind. How does a robotruck place cones or flares while it awaits rescue?

Personally, I expect autonomous trucking to be a force-multiplier for humans who were formerly drivers. Such trucks will have sleeper cabs and the human will be there to maintain the vehicle and handle the long tail of tasks (filling tires, cleaning, refueling, repairs, rigging, whatever). You'll get 24-hour operation out of a single human employee because they'll be able to sleep and do other things most of the time. Maybe they'll work a second job as a remote call-center operator.

The main problem in the 90s in Germany was that access points didn't offer that.
This is strange.

- Sensing distance is a good one for sure. At the same time, it's for now a technical issue. So that a viable temporary progress-making solution might be to have an additional vehicle in the autonomous system: a sensing car is in front, and one or more semi-trucks follow. Then the autonomous system far out-senses a human driver. And we get progress even if the cost-proposition becomes a little harder.

But otherwise:

- Nominal stopping distance as shown include 2.5 seconds of reaction time - fair for a human driver perhaps but hopefully the machine gains a lot of space there.

- "Stopping in lane" is as insane in the city as it is on a freeway. We can't seriously consider that a long term solution in the city? Less risk temporarily okay but not a serious solution. (But fair point on this one: if all else fails it is, for now, an option in the city).

- Even for humans, driving on the freeway is not a question of perfect judgement. It is about quickly but calmly picking a reasonable solution. Including, in doubt, moving to a safer lane and slowing down while measuring the risk of rear-ending. Nobody asks a human to completely eliminate the risk of rear-ending. That sounds within the range of what software can do?

- Jack-knifing and other complex behaviors are probably far better suited to computing solutions - which can sense far more measurements than the humans, independently actuate more control points, and compute actually more or less complete solutions when the human is seat-of-the-pants -ing in real time (with dubious real life record too - see brutal and fatal). Simple no, but all that hard to beat the human sounds absurd (anyone with more input on this?) See for example the drift-parallel-parking stunts achieved with cars. We may not yet be at drift-parallel-parking semi-trucks but anyone here doubts that this is achievable?

- Ease and quantity of samples might be a better point. Waymo really got on it and accumulated a lot of driving data. But then also, most of that data by now is city driving.

- Will trucks happen before cars? Well, cars are already there so... already answered.
After big tech layoffs, Silicon Valley may have lost its monopoly on workers
Yes, some routes are dangerous, but the trucks don't need to take those initially. There's a lot of scope for a phased ramp up.

A lot of I80 is really straight, same with other highways. I70 from Denver to St. Louis is incredibly boring all the way through Kansas. I90 from Wisconsin through Minnesota and South Dakota is the same. Just dead straight easy roads. Down south I10 was pretty easy too.

Just because there are a few tough stretches, that doesn't mean the auto-pilot can't drive the other thousand miles on the route, with human support where necessary.

Pick the MVP routes that are easiest. I95 is trivial from Florida, all the way up to DC. Then it remains mostly easy with some really annoying bits around DC, Philly, and NYC. I wouldn't want it trying to get through the traffic over the GW and through the Bronx, but after that it's mostly smooth all the way through Maine.
