since I'm not distracted by my shoelaces, and I'm trying to stay alive, I don't limit myself to looking at just my immediate surroundings. I'm looking in the car windows 10 cars ahead, trying to predict behavior - trying to spot the person that might suddenly swerve to deal with their kids in the back seat, or whatever. And IA couldn't do that...it falls down hard when dealing with non-AIs. Image comprehension is something that computers don't do all that well at still - quite a lot of computing power can be thrown behind just figuring out what it is that is in an image, when our eyes see and understand the image in a fraction of a millisecond. Don't count humanity out yet - we are still good for something.
why? because I'm a platform architect and software engineer, and I am very familiar with how things don't work perfectly all the time;) The intended was that the bike on the right had not been detected, and that by going to the right it was then over-committed to being on that side. If instead the corrections are barely noticible...geeze, what's the point at all? I'm happy if it just makes cars drive more predictible (instead of the back and forth from one side of the lane to the other than most motorists do). That's the best I can ask for, really - though I'd prefer if they just made "google nag" instead, that nagged at you to turn off your phone, stop tying your shoes, etc - and told you when you were driving like a nutcase;)
+1, would read again. We have a lot of far less dangerous situations that could be automated - people need to just stop messing with a billion distractions while driving a 2ton mass of metal at 80mph down the road. leave the radio, phone, kids, shoe laces, mascara, drinks, and everything else alone. Distracted drivers are dangerous - but something that can't really understand what is happening (ie, a "weak" AI) and respond appropriately is even worse.
yeah, let's increase congestion while trying to reduce it - let's increase the number of parking spaces we need too. Oh, and who needs the other environmental benefits - even though my bike has a large engine (more than half the size of the average displacement of a car engine) I do still get twice the average MPG. So not only does my bike not need a parking spot (there's actually 3 per car, not just one...), not need a lane, take a lot less raw materials to make, and use half as much gas to operate...it also accomplishes all this without harming you in any way. The above comments suggesting people open car doors to maim/kill another human simply because they're not conforming to their mode of transportation is about as idiotic as suggesting "motorcycles are one safety ruling away from being made illegal." The only reason our roads are dangerous is because everyone is driving a farking tank, and not only is the tank hard to drive and have poor driver visibility, the drivers aren't paying attention anyway. Great, automate all you cagers - I'm all for it, robots are safer than soccer moms anyway. I just am curious if the robot is aware that sometimes there isn't just one bike on the road...there's two.
Take a situation where there isn't one, but two motorcycles - and they are one lane width apart, stradling entirely different lines. The car detects the bike on the left, moves over to the right to avoid it, having not yet detected the bike on the right. That's the real question - has that been solved for? Because as a rider, I want cars to do one thing only - be predictable. Don't swerve at all. Don't swerve into me, don't swerve away from me. Stay exactly where you are in your lane. I've been the guy on the other side of the car when a car suddenly thinks it's doing a bike a favor by jumping several feet over...into another bike. It's bad when done manually, and would remain done if done automagically.
it is also not specifically legislated to be legal for me to kiss my wife, or have dinner.
Are you bloody farking serious? First, it's actually in the drivers handbook in CA that lane sharing is legal - second, even if it wasn't, the absense of something being illegal means that it is legal . Everything is legal, by default, until made illegal.
(clears throat)
So, uh, how will all this auto-driving react when I er, share (split) lanes going down the 405 on my way home? Will the auto-center re-center wildly all the sudden when it detects my bike? Will it not detect my bike at all? I'm all for there being fewer people wildly swerving from one side of the lane to the other (fark, pick a side...I'll pass on the other!) but...I also don't want cars violently changing position automatically when it abruptly detects my presense yet hasn't detected the presense of the person/bike/water buffalo on the other side yet...
fortunately, not everyone thinks asking an engineer is the appropriate action...
The scientists, on the other hand, realize that extreme convergence in the backscatter machines versus other types of "everyday" radiation" cause a real, and important, difference between the two. But hey, you know the levels and the wavelength, that's all there is to know!
Engineers apply solutions to questions someone else answered. I say that with lots of love, I'm 95% an engineer myself, and most people really suck at comprehension and following instructions. Engineers shouldn't be target of a question like this - that's not what they do. If one insists on asking them, they should realize the answer comes from outside the realm of expertise of the one answering.
ok, just to restate something - I have successfully rooted the device several times. That's what "unless I want to root it again" means. Doing that should not be required.
if the "power user" aka expert can't do something via the automated mechanisms, then it shouldn't be allowable via gui. If it can be done by both then fine, whatever, but..."overstayed" implies that it has been here a long time. Windows is just now almost starting to be able to be managed, configured, and monitored without some monkey clicking around on a mouse. And you can pry the CLI off my unix machines from my cold, dead fingers.
So yeah, the author is an idiot.
I tried upgrading the official, correct way - requires an app that forces itself into the usb stack, and doesn't run properly on anything other than 32bit windows. My galaxy S1 can't upgrade itself from the phone - so I'm still on 2.2 unless I want to root it again. So it's not really google's fault, it's somewhere between AT&T (for me) and Samsung.
so you do think the Louvre should be forced to provide a Mona Lisa in braille, then?
As was said, a ramp is a minimal expense - very minimal expense, actually. It's a reasonable thing to expect. It's not reasonable to expect a record store to make captioned versions of every LP they sell, however.
Eating is necessary. Watching a movie is not. And as said - the audio is part of the experience. Not all art can be enjoyed by everyone, that's just how it is.
movies are an "art" form that has two components - sound and video. If you're blind or deaf, you're missing part of it - that's not netflix's fault. Supermarkets don't have as a requisite part of the experience audio or video. Supermarkets are also a necessity. It's a silly analogy. Besides, to add captioning, netflix would be altering the video...which they don't have the license to do. Why would the content providers not be the responsible parties for captioning, versus the distributor? Would you sue a record store for not making captioned versions of every LP? Would that make sense at all? Or sue the Louvre for not providing a braile version of the Mona Lisa? How is suing netflix in this case any different?
because the standard isn't "on the way." It is already here. Design comes before implementation in any tech program that is more advanced than building a throw-away mini webapp or webpage.
agreed. If the argument is that anyone trying to figure out and/or exploit security flaws is a "security researcher" then someone busting your car window to steal the iphone you left on the center console is also a "security researcher." Is subby a similar type of "researcher," thus the sympathy/misnomer?
yeah, and raw meat too! Except you're not drinking the milk from the cow's teet, you're drinking it from a jug several weeks later. If it weren't pasturized, the mass quanitities of milk would be very unhealthy. Same with meat - fine to eat the stuff raw if you're whacking the deer on the head, ripping off its skin, and chowing down right there. That's not what you're doing though - you're letting someone else kill the animal far away, where it is transported to a grocery store, where you then buy it and take it home, where you store it a little longer until you finally eat it.
But I agree that milk isn't good for you - it is meant for babies, not adults. But - I don't do dairy (raw or not) so - meh.
do you really have no idea how inane what you just said, sounds? If there is money, it isn't communism. Capitalism and communism are almost 180 degrees apart from each other.
focusing on IP and letting the dumb kids do all the manufacturing is why China grew and the US fell. Are you just trolling? Do you really believe what your saying, in the face of how horribly it goes for the IP folks?
going from $84 pre-sale, a $100 IPO, and then dipping to $99.19 for a single day is by no stretch of the imagination "plummeting" - I can see the numbers on the table in the link I posted too;) So he was most certainly wrong. I was able to by pre-IPO but was doing a hippy stint at the time, and some of my friends made big bank a very short time after IPO - I have a very clear memory of non-"plummeting" occurring.
just how many damn roads is it you're wanting to have? There is in fact such a thing as "natural monopoly" - power distribution, for instance. Roadways. Etc. From San Diego to LA, there's one major road on the west side (IH5), one on the east side (IH15). Would you rather there be 10 roads, all privately owned, competing for your business by offering the better services? really? Just where the fark are you going to put all those roads?

China is a command economy, playing capitalist on the global versus local scale. So, whether you call them capitalist is just a matter of perspective.

you recall incorrectly. It had a pre-IPO sale price of 84, which then went to 100 the day of IPO, and was a very clean and steady climb from there.

wit with a point should be modded "insightful" instead of "funny," mods. Just sayin.
