Except most self driving cars will drive the same way, so if you have 1000 self driving cars on the road and one automaker drives slow, you have 300 self driving cars driving slow. I don't know why people here seem to think humans are so bad at driving, I see thousands of humans on the road every day and only the odd one doing anything wrong.
I'm not so sure about that. People on Slashdot seem to want to forge ahead with these things no matter how they are working. As long as there are enough people to buy these things that will happily watch a movie while humans pile up behind them to make them profitable, companies seem to feel entitled to sell them. The only thing that stops companies is the law, and there are no minimum speed limits, so... *sigh*
My concern is that these machines will just start driving walking speed everywhere since the company making the machine will be afraid of being sued, won't really have the right equipment to drive on ice, so where a human would get to work in 30 minutes safely it will now take 2 hours because there are no assurances these machines will decide to drive as well as a human in all conditions. Traffic will be even more clogged than it already gets on an icy, snowy morning. That's depressing to think about.
It's kind of like a parent protecting their child by locking them in a room of their house and sending in three meals a day.
The only problem I have with Spotlight is that it doesn't find all the applications I have in the Applications folder and I have to go in and start them with the icon. I was hoping Spotlight would be better at that.
Agreed. I've been feeling I haven't been talking about OSX's strengths enough and yes I have to give kudos that you can snapshot even a section of the screen out of the box. It almost seems bizarre that they made the screenshot function so robust when they slimmed down everything else. I have heard about quicksilver, and I am a big fan of keyboard launchers. I will try it eventually.
I was vaguely aware of it but I was only a very rarely mac user before and I thought I just wasn't understanding it and was just trying to get by. Now that I have a mac I'm spending a lot more time searching on things and finding out that, no, I wasn't missing anything; that's really all there is to OSX.
No, the unix way is to be able to configure it yourself. It might be in a text file, but it's usually possible. I can't think of any time I've had to install a tool to configure the keyboard in any enterprise unix I am familiar with. In linux installing gconf-editor makes such things more convienent for gnome but you could do it in the gome settings with a text editor. That's it, one tool that I know of and you're done. Why would I compare OSX to a free operating system anyway, I would expect the free OS to be weaker in some ways.
I'm not a big fan of installing many little third party toolets to make an expensive machine do what you want, as important as it seems to be on OSX. I hope Apple sees their way to doing it.
Ok well I have yet to see or hear about it working together correctly. The last article I saw, they needed to install a special lidar sensor so the car wouldn't run over squirrels. It makes me wonder how many sensors we will need to cover a car with just to see everything that a car needs to see in order to drive without coming into contact with, or running over anything. Humans aren't perfect at avoiding squirrels all the time either, I understand that, but at least they try and an AI car is supposed to be better than a human at it.
I expect they will be arresting Elizabeth Holmes as well? Or is this an American philosophy arrest, where defrauding the health of people isn't nearly as offensive as financially damaging defrauding.
So basically if the car decided to drive walking speed or stop and back up all the humans behind it trying to get somewhere, you're willing to say "that's ok" because a machine says it is so? What a depressing world we are headed for.

Legacy means there is an adequate replacement today, that does the same thing or better for cheaper.
Any way, that's not the point. The point is that I feel AI automakers are not prepared to accept responsibility if they make the problems worse.
Then I guess I'm just imagining seeing people driving down the road and not crashing.

I mean, a company will get sued into oblivion if they kill someone due to a fault in programming, so why wouldn't they drive slower than they need to?

"As well as" of course means "as safely as" and "as quickly as".

But I haven't adjusted the cache settings. I would assume it would be using cache out of the box.

Key word is 'keys'. And no, there are none. Of course the actual keys don't give much more feel than the touch bar anyway.
Yes because it's awesome having to press Fn-Ctrl-F12 instead of Ctrl-F2 a few hundred times a day.
You can force the function keys, but you have to add each application in the control panel one by one.. there is no global setting.
This one.
Does Firefox have this bug out of the box? I only use Firefox and the battery on my mac only lasts 4 hours. Tested three times now.

No, if it is unsafe for the car to drive itself, it is unsafe for you to drive too.
That's what he is basically saying. How else should I take it? He's saying I should not drive if an AI decides not to drive.
Is there a valid question of whether she knew what was going on, or just one that might not be provable in court?

I have it upon good authority that there are people in Arizona who are capable of screwing.
