Technology will open up new jobs.
But I don't expect employed drivers to suddenly become data scientists.

Its a fallacy we constantly use as an argument when we talk about technology taking people's jobs.

Low specialty professions have been in my view a great way to have people employed, people who may be less fortunate, unspecialized or even students. Now that such professions start getting absorbed by tech, I don't know how those people are supposed to get by.

I can see how somebody would argue 6hay this has occurred before, but for example replacing horses with cars just made postpone jump to learning how to drive. They didn't have to "specialize for 4 years" and become computer scientists. Now this is a bolder issue imo. But my perspective can be argued
The GP was talking about the driver knowing if the "human has seen the machine".

For the inverse problem, we could simply start adding screens (instead of windshields?) to self-driving cars that acknowledge the pedestrians in a particular way (when there's only a few people, in the Black Mirror realm, they'd actually greet them by name using facial recognition and universal DB of everyone :).
Still worse than public transport, wastes more resources and endangers cyclists and pedestrians. I have yet to see anything that deserves to be called progress in self-driving. Yet another scam to sell more wasteful, inefficient vehicles.
the pcap-ng file will contain packets (l2/l3/l4 and so forth, but up to 255 bytes), each annotated with a comment that tells you from what kernel function or tracepoint the packet was "captured" from.
For the time being you can generate pcapng files filtering packets based on a single probe (e.g. all filtered/tracked packets hitting `net:net_dev_start_xmit`).
You can then use wireshark (or any tool you prefer) to dissect and further process. Custom dissectors should not be required.

> did we exclude drivers who were not eligible to drive

I don't think we can discount people who aren't fit/eligible to drive _if they still drove_. They might not have a _legal_ right to be on the road, but they are still on the road.
PHP and composer do.

Is that a new feature? Pretty sure it didn't a few years ago. If the thing I need needed the libfoo C library then I first had to install libfoo on my computer using apt/brew/etc. If a new version of the PHP extension comes out that uses libfoo 2.0, then it was up to me to update libfoo first. There was no way for composer to install and manage libfoo.

I don't love how forgiving the web is. We would all spend far less time debugging painful HTML/CSS/JS issues if the web was stricter. I think several billion man-hours would have been saved and human civilization probably more advanced. Also health-insurance costs would be reduced and web-developer lifespan likely increased thanks to less blood pressure.

Spotify isn't a monopoly, and if they want to fill their platform with stock music and presumably AI slop in the future, good luck to them. They're hollowing themselves out and making way for a new better service.

And in the end, the real money for musicians is syncs, shows and merch anyway. Spotify streaming revenue is tiny in comparison.
Insurance premiums are higher for higher risk individuals/circumstances and lower for lower risk ones.

If automatic driving lowers the floor of risk due to even lower risk than even the lowest risk human driver, insurance premiums will adjust to compensate and accomodate the now higher risk human driver compared to the now lower risk computer driver.

And here's the kicker: Insurance premiums don't even have to increase for the human drivers. Once owners of automatic driving cars pay even cheaper premiums, that becomes the new baseline for "cheap" car insurance and the rest should be plainly obvious. "Want lower rates? Get an automatic driving car."

We have tracking like this for an app where you can rent electric cars in the city short term. Problem is it sometimes flags you, banning you for a month because you went under a bridge or the road has a smaller side road separated by a ~1 meter island limited at 30 but the road you were on is a 70. When it's a rental car app you don't really care to argue but I definitely wouldn't want to deal with this bs with an insurance company. They'd have 0 incentive to resolve this.

Hi Lu
Oh, yes, it's a crazy project overall. I would love to see it continue -- I think the Transputer and its OS HeliOS, which is FOSS now -- still has much to teach. But he got it working, so I can also see why not stop digging if you hit the bottom.

P.S. I wrote about HeliOS too:

It is an approach to music (more than a genre) that relies on elaborate harmonic structures, freedom of interpretation of melody and personalising the harmony, interesting rhythms and time signatures and a general approach of trying to push the boundaries of music making. It is meant to be listened actively as opposed to having it as background music. The capitalisation of music has led us to the commoditisation of music and treating it as audio content as opposed to art.
Spotify sends users a notification when their favourite artist has a concert. I think that's a nice gesture.

I've watched the FX adaptation and the original from 1980, and I have to say I like the original a bit more. Neither one of them cannot match the book, which I rank in the same level with Lord of the Rings: thick books you cannot stop reading. The television adaptations are passable, but a bit disappointing if you are a fan of the book.
> assuming the same rate of accidents, but most accidents with a self driving car are the manual driver's fault

This is a very shaky assumption in my view; more realistic would be (to me):

1) Overall accident rate reduction even for manual drivers

2) Reduced damage in accidents even for manual drivers

3) Slight increase in "at-fault" allocation toward manual drivers

It seems very likely to me that those would result in net favorable effects even for manual drivers.

I believe a lot of driving will move to full auto once viable, but not all of it because lots of people like to drive recreationally, and I simply don't see insurance rates for manual drivers spiking out of control-- just compare insurance pricing for less-safe vintage cars, which is also perfectly reasonable.

The Catania area of course is one example.
I was talking about a case where there are cars behind me. And it's "unnecessarily" only legally, but most drivers understand this as a driving etiquette in congested traffic.

Picture two streets joining together, both with long lines of vehicles in them. One of them has right of way, the other one doesn't. When everyone drives "passively aggressively" (like Waymo is being described to), an opening never shows up, and "yielding" cars wait until the rush hour clears up, causing people in that street to go bonkers.

This happens quite frequently in many old European cities I've been to in the rush hour or when anything unusual happens (because there are no alternative routes and streets are tight: like a crash or broken-down car ahead might cause this with lots of traffic). Not sure how much it applies to Waymo and SFO, but I can imagine it certainly happens in some areas.

Hey there! Thanks for mentioning Heuristica. I would love to find out how to make the free plan for Heuristica to be more permissive (without destroying the incentive to subscribe for willing users). Feel free to send me your suggestions.

At one point, I also worked on making it work with a personal API key. However, this added a lot of complexity. It felt like I was building and maintaining two separate branches of the same app, so I had to put the idea on hold. I might revisit it in the future.
I had great trouble simply connecting Bluetooth speaker to use it as voice input and for sound output. The overall state of sound subsystem for diy voice assistant feels third-class at best.
MIT engineers grow "high-rise" 3D chips
They showed a video at the end of their broadcast last night comparing what the raw microphone hears and what comes out of the XMOS chip and you can hear a much clearer voice all the time even when there is noise or you are far away from the device. It is also used to cancel out the music if you are using it's speaker output.
I don't think it's doing any voice processing but it's cleaning up the audio a lot which makes the job of the wake word processor and the speach to text a lot easier. Up until now this was missing from a lot of the home made voice assistance and I think why Alexa can understand you from the next room but my home made one struggles with all but quiet conditions.
People made money off 3D thanks to 3D cinemas. 3D glasses are cheap, often disposable. VR headsets are expensive and clunky, I doubt we're going to see VR cinemas with comparable capacity.

Did the paper really prove its claim? It set aside more than half of Waymo's claims history and compared only the most recent portion of its own history to the all drivers benchmark. All drivers do things that Waymo doesn't like operate outside specific city centers, drive in snow or other severe weather, real people drive more during the day in traffic but Waymo is biased toward nighttime (less traffic), and real people drive freeways and high speed roads.

If you rigorously enforced those limits on regular drivers and additionally imposed an interlock device to prevent DUI and remote insurance company monitoring of driving habits-- that's the comparison population I want to see. Otherwise, this is a press release disguised as an academic paper.
GoA 4 (no trained personnel onboard) is only practical for entirely grade separated (ie it's almost impossible for anything else to be there, no cars, no bicycles, no pedestrians) routes.

Even GoA 3 is fraught without this constraint, and for GoA 2 you're still paying for a driver because although the machine does most of the work the human has to handle the inevitable deviations from the model.

GoA 4 railways exist, if you're putting a metro in tunnels or elevating it obviously this is grade separated, and in principle you can do it for long distance rail if you're willing to eliminate at grade crossings (expensive). But they are nothing like a city bus route for example.
Would you be so kind to share how you manage to get them to save without further interaction? That would really add usability. Maybe I did take the ctrl+s too literally, but being pedantic was not my intention. Merely hinting at this usability issue. So a solution would be very welcome.

That is true, but that doesn't mean that someone can't do it anyway. Copyright is a right, not an obligation (unlike trademarks where enforcement is required to preserve the trademark)

If someone makes a patch and publishes it, the rightsholders do have a case against whoever published it, but that requires enforcement in the form of a C&D or a lawsuit. The rightsholder might very well decide to not do anything about it, which happens fairly commonly.

This is not a substantial barrier for making a patch like that.

Like I said, my experience with frontend frameworks/libraries is limited, so I could be wrong. I last used React nearly a decade ago, Svelte a couple of years ago, and Vue quite recently. Vue does seem like the worst offender in what I'm talking about, with the `v-if`/`v-else` shenanigans. And Mizu being mostly inspired by Vue takes this a step further.

My issue is not whether the custom props are rendered into the DOM, but about the developer experience. Svelte, for example, has separate templating syntax and generally tries to keep things isolated, even if it's ultimately all compiled to JS.
Well, sometimes.

Applying math to a more practical betting situation, like poker, is a lot harder. You'd have to be able to calculate your exact odds of winning given only a small amount of information, without a calculator and without it taking so long that the other players notice, and then also factor in the odds that the other players are bluffing and the advantages that you might have from (not) bluffing.

So you seem to be wrong there. The innocent buyer needs to file a claim against the thief, the original owner retails their title. It is explained in more detail later on.
I ride my bike several times a day, and I have very mixed views about Waymo, etc. I care immensely about traffic safety (so much I moved to the Netherlands).

If you took the world as it is now and left everything the same except that every car was a waymo and there were no human-driven cars left, I would be ecstatic. Humans are horrible drivers and some of them are downright murderous. If every car were a waymo I could even imagine letting my kids bike to school in the bay (where I used to live), which I wouldn't dream of now.

But I think the second-order effects of self driving cars could be terrible. It removes any incentive not to have an incredibly long commute (exacerbating sprawl), and so far every time there has been a situation where the needs of walkers and cyclists were pitted against the needs of drivers, drivers won. I think the same will happen with self-driving cars, and people will be made to wear beacons just to walk across the street.

NotJustBikes discusses this well here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0

But if we have proper regulation (pretty unlikely I would say) and use things like waymo to stop humans from driving (remember, drivers are the leading killers of children in the US!) that would be great.

A recent example: as you might have heard, the CEO of an insurance company was shot.

As I'm not from the US, the most interesting thing to me about this killing is that a significant amount of the population thinks that the killing was justified. I've seen numbers like 60% of young people support his actions. If you go on reddit, you'll see that he has a huge amount of support there.

Now, I don't personally know what to think about all this,. although my gut reaction is that violence is rarely a good solution.

But one thing I am sure of: the public reaction to this killing is incredibly newsworthy. Possibly will go down in history as the starting point of a revolution levels of newsworthy.

How much reporting on this aspect of the killing have you seen in the media? Especially in the first couple of days. Barely a whisper.

When people talk about manufacturing consent and controlling the narrative, this is the kind of thing they mean.

In a healthy press, in a healthy society, there should be a ton of discussion happening about this, why so many people are so upset and angry with their situation that they're willing to support a killing in broad daylight, what can be done to fix these issues, how this should be a wake-up call that deep changes are needed, and so on.

Do you see that happening anywhere in the established media? The coordination doesn't require some shadowy network of media moguls making phone calls. Although I'm sure that is happening a bit since there are hardly any independent newsrooms anymore.

In England we call them "Indicators" as opposed to turn signals. My driving instructor said, they are call that because they are only indicating they might go that way. Never assume they will. It was some defensive driving advice.

I can understand that it's annoying that inconsistent use of turn signals is an annoyance, it isn't as bad a people that don't use them at all, but my understand is that the American road system doesn't have roundabouts like we do, which kind of require good indicator use for smooth driving.
