Non-trucks attempting a right-turn-on-red next to trucks are also more likely to hit a pedestrian, though if they are driving in a sane manner, it's unlikely to be fatal. I cannot see a pedestrian over the hood of a truck stopped just short of the crosswalk until my bumper is already well into the crosswalk.
I think it should depend on the circumstances.

If the pedestrian is at fault, I think the individual, or their estate, should have to pay for the truck repairs and therapy for the driver.

git treats objects as a generic structure ("list of space-separated name-value pairs, maybe with space continuations, followed by double newline, followed my message") followed by additional rules for individual values. Something very common in older protocols -- see HTTP, deb control files, email, etc...

And github code decided to short-circuit the process and combine two steps into one, which introduced weird inter-layer interactions where lines with good name but invalid content would be silently rejected.

No, you're better off jailbreaking retail units.

That being said, most retail jailbreaks also let you jailbreak development consoles anyway. Development and retail hardware is very close to one another, they differ purely in what debug interfaces are available and what DRM gets enforced.

This is enlightening. Has anyone posted some kind of comparison table somewhere?
I agree that what is zoned for a city like Seattle isn't going to be representative of most American cities, and in particular the ones that the person I was replying to was talking about (mid-sized American cities away from the coasts).

Personally I'm less interested in Seattle, New York City, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, etc. because the constraints there don't apply to Columbus, Pittsburgh, Grand Rapids, Oklahoma City, etc.

If you'd like to see for yourself, take a look at a satellite map of a city like Columbus and look at the downtown area. You'll find lots of vacant buildings (well you'd have to just know that so that doesn't really count), and surface parking lots that aren't used that often. If you compare that to Seattle you'll see a big difference.

I've heard the word AI being used around this before... and it scares me.
I don't think the two products demand an equal level of commitment. Car manufacturing is notoriously hard and low margins, with very complex supply-chain and scale requirements that could make a bad bet tragically costly both financially and to their reputation, as you said.

Consider also that there are no Level 3 cars out today (IIRC Mercedes-Benz recently got permission for the first such car), so launching a Level 5 seems virtually impossible. On the other hand, VR devices do exist and, even if they don't quite perform to people's expectations, releasing a marginally superior product isn't too far-fetched.

> we saw them get taken for a ride by those very subcontractors with absurdly overpriced cost-plus projects that were always over budget, late and did the bare minimum to meet requirements.

What is the evidence of that?

Certainly there's every reason to believe that they exceeded requirements by a lot: NASA not only has an astounding successs rate (in the most challenging engineering and manufacturing challenges in human history) but their missions tend to last far longer than the specifications. Voyager 1 and 2 are still flying, and so is that helicopter.

In fact, is there any organization ever that is a worse fit for the description, "did the bare minimum to meet requirements".

For an interesting description of how NASA engineering and budgeting actually work, here's someone from JPL (for a bit more, see other comments from the same user):

I have a stupid dream.

I really want a news application that is rendered visually as the Globe. Then a user can drag, zoom, and pan around the world, similar to Google Earth.

They thought re-engining the 737 would cost 2bn and a new plane would cost 10bn for a savings of 8bn. The actual development cost for the MAX was 4bn so their estimates were off by a factor of two. Naively the MAX saved Boeing 16bn (20bn - 4bn) in development costs. They saved “double” (by failing upwards) on development and it only cost them the future of the company.
My feeling is that these layoffs news are nothing more that news/blogs riding the public interest on this given last year’s real layoffs….
I tried this, with an example image they give[0] and it failed. It shows a value of 1.9, which is where the shadow is pointing but not the actual needle.

I am suspect that the training data is good. Many tasks highly depend on labeled datasets and unfortunately these need to be very large (given current ML methods). The major problem is that these labels are generated from cheap or free labor where labelers are also expected to know the nuance and label appropriately. Nearly (if not every) dataset you've seen has major errors in them that matter. Honestly, one of the only ways to combat this is be insistent on viewing benchmarks as guides. There's been countless times I've demonstrated to others how I can perform worse the training dataset but absolutely demolish results when using customer datasets or real world data (i.e. generalization). Remember, it is absolutely possible to overfit your model even if your validation accuracy does not decrease. There are many ways to overfit and evaluation is unfortunately substantially harder than looking at results on a test set. There's a lot of complexity to this and if you want an effective product you should probably have at least one person on your team that cares about statistics and will nitpick stuff (though you can also over-saturate your team with these people too. I say that as one of these people).

Edit: Actually I believe every example shows an incorrect reading.

Employees had leverage. Now they do not.
Do you think there is a career out there better than (I assume) software development?

My view is that we are still in pretty good times. Maybe not great, but everyone who kept their jobs is still earning a big salary.

And everything else other than software development is worse (specifically if you bundle things like ML into “software development“).

I am curious. What career would you change to?

Hard disagree on most comfortable long distance aircraft.

It's one of them, but not the only (and I'd argue not the most). The A350 beats it for me, plus, it doesn't have that pesky range issue that is causing Europe to Asia carriers to adopt the A350 (detours around Ukrainian and Russian air space).
You're taking the problem in the wrong order, it's more why would I use Godot which is vastly inferior to unreal and unity.

Now what is inferior, well performance is bad, they have their own scripting language which no serious dev would want to use, they have c# integration but it's not on part. Assets, tooling is also inferior, you can't make console game with Godot etc...

Networking wise Godot has not much either.

That's the difference between an open source engine with not much investment and 100's $ put into unreal and unity.

He's clearly operating at all levels.

As an aside, it's funny (not ha-ha funny) watching these things sweep through in waves; they're basically fashion. For a while, we needed to "put the structure in place to be able to scale" and it was all about adding more levels of hierarchy. Now we're flattening the org chart and managers are expected to do everyone's job at once. Today everyone needs to own the product vision. Tomorrow you need to focus on execution and stop stepping on product management's toes. Be more hands-on. Now stop micromanaging. We're Agile. We can't keep changing the plan. Promote from within; the best leaders start in the trenches. We need professionals with outside perspective, so we're filling that role with some guy from Oracle.

One fun aspect of Apple's moon shots is tracing back tech dependencies, which they often ship earlier permutations of for years in mainstream products (see: M1).

Streets haven't gotten wider since then either. Maybe less of a problem in the US where everything is planned around humongous fire trucks, but in the EU if you had a street that could easily accommodate two moving lanes with parking on either side, that has basically narrowed down to one moving lane.

Also reminds me of all the regulation around car lights - you literally specified the beam pattern light intensity color and what not, but you couldn't be bothered to narrowly restrict the height off the ground? Great, now everyone in a sedan is being blinded by all sorts of SUVs and trucks. Utter failure.

I like the idea that there is some sort of thread manipulation going on here, but the videos using this for knitting don't require it to be a dodecahetdron as they only use one hole and five of the bulbs on the verteces.

Unless there's a much more complex knit happening, this isn't the explanation. Maybe with multiple colors or something. Also, if it were used in this common way, it's more likely that there would have been many more made of wood and the device would have passed down from mother to daughter rather than having been lost.

I was reacting to the suggestion that people will only react to this out of misplaced "confirmation bias." Your statement was qualified as "it's not _necessarily_ bad."

My suggestion is that it is not at all useless or negative, and due to the safety factors involved, this is more due to survival bias than confirmation bias.

This sounds problematic and like it explains why the first example image is improperly labeled. There is a general form to dial gauges and the results make me suspect of overfitting. Data diversity is essential. Quality of data matters more than quantity (though you still need quantity).

> Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter possesses some degree of consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.

Plenty of things don't follow that. Heat something up it gets hotter but at some point it tips the scale and burns. Cool down water and it gets colder but at some point it hits a threshold and freezes. 1000s of similar examples. Put a bunch of hydrogen together and not much happens. Put enough and it becomes a star. It seems like consciousness could follow the same pattern and still fit occam's razor
According to chrysler, the PT Cruiser was a "light truck".

Is it really worth the trouble if you're not building on top of something like LLVM which already has a vectorizer? We're still waiting for the mythical sufficiently-smart-vectorizer, even the better ones are still extremely brittle, and any serious high-performance work still does explicit SIMD rather than trying to coax the vectorizer into cooperating.

I'd rather see new languages focus on making better explicit SIMD abstractions a la Intels ISPC, rather than writing yet another magic vectorizer that only actually works in trivial cases.
