They are deliberately comparing autonomous cars against average drivers and not normal drivers. The average includes drunks and irresponsible drivers who have the vast majority of accidents. When of if the AI beats an average driver it will still be an order of magnitude more unsafe than a normal driver.
It depends on what the off brand battery actually is. Zinc-carbon batteries are very cheap and easy to make but they have lower capacity and leak when they get old.
The subway’s cost-induced construction paralysis becomes more severe with every passing decade. We must learn from history in order to break it.
In different words, subways are too expensive to build and maintain and voters are not willing to approve either the fare increases or the tax increases to pay for them. It's unclear what the authors want to "learn" from that. In fact, it's more likely that more subway lines will get closed over time, instead of new ones getting opened.
They are not too expensive compared to roads. If you invest in them and make them work, you have to invest less in expanding roads, saving you money.
For US cities, NYC's is probably the most functional metro system. It runs 24/7/365 for one thing, and is extensive enough to be useful. If you're comparing to London or Berlin, you may have a point, though those systems aren't 24h.
Berlin's U-Bahn (subway) might not be 24h/7 but only 20h/5 + 24h/2, but has tram systems and S-bahn (above ground commuter trains) that are both running 24h/7.
That is the not the problem with NYC. The problem is the reluctance to spend state and city money on it like they do on highways. It doesn't seem to register to US politicians that people that take the train, doesn't drive and thus takes up less capacity on the roads, saving highway costs. The cost of roads and rails are deeply connected.
Well, they are not going to break backwards compatibility as that would break Linux, so the major version would be forever stuck at 2, and they no longer differentiates between adding features or adding bug-fixes (they are the same), so the two other numbers in the semantic versioning would also be somewhat meaningless.
I saw it in Denmark when visiting. An old series for a local Danish tv-station was on Netflix marketed as Netflix original. It even still had the original TV station's logo in the corner (because old crappy content).
I don't see stuff that old regularly, but for content with "Netflix Original" moniker that Netflix had no part in producing, there is a small subset of a few hundred of them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
These television shows, even though Netflix lists them as Netflix originals, are shows that have been aired in different countries, and Netflix has bought exclusive distribution rights to stream them in other various countries. They may be available on Netflix in their home territory and other markets where Netflix does not have the first run license, without the Netflix Original label, some time after their first-run airing on their original broadcaster.
Currently I'm watching "Requiem" - a Netflix Original (according to Netflix), that I last noticed running on the BBC (BBC Wales), and was produced by the BBC, and was on BBCiplayer. So not really originally Netflix or?
They use the term for both original and "exclusive" content. So it just means that no one else is running it at the moment in that area of the world...
Yes, they are intentionally lying and lying poorly.
The majority of "Netflix originals" are not original for Netflix, but licensed content, since Netflix use the "Netflix Original" as a common monicer for both original and "exclusive" content.
I only stopped using their computers because my university didn't support them on their network at the time The brand of a computer does not matter when connected to a network... Just saying.
Back when Mac's still used AppleTalk they were banned on many networks. If you connected a Mac, the sysadmin would hunt you down and disconnect you.
That's because AppleTalk is probably the worst local network protocol design of all time, with everything broadcast, and super linear blowup of overhad based on the number Macs connected, ruining the network efficiency for everybody
Most "developing" countries have environmental/safety/labor laws in the books, the problem is that they are rarely and selectively enforced, usually because of a incident that made widespread news or simply to hurt company owners backing political rivals.
And those investor-state disputes rules that the GP defended means that if the state actually enforced environmental protected they will be sued by the companies for making them lose money....
Which is why letting companies sue governments for lost profits is a terrible idea.
Yet nobody will fight it. We have find a way to make censorship impossible.
You don't even need to bring the amendments into this. The law states it also applies to all to act committed BEFORE it passes into law. This is call post-ex facto and completely contradicts the constitution, common law, and common sense.
If "Charm" is being used as a euphemism for donations, they'll care all right.
Well, he has already donated to 80% of the people "interogating" him. Then again if they actually wanted to know something they wouldn't invite a clueless CEO but someone with expertise, these hearings are always mostly show.
It's an existential threat we don't understand. It's fully fucking rational to be conservative.
It is NOT an existential threat at the moment or anytime soon, worrying about it deminishes the time you spend on ACTUAL threats. Such as semi-automated AI used to dodge responsibility even though they are not actually operating independently but just marketed as such.
C is a high level language. A high level language is anything that's not a 1:1 mapping of instructions. Stop trying to redefine terms.
As for python being the scientific language of choice- that's just wrong. Its still C and Fortran. Serious scientific computing requires performance, nobody would dream of doing that shit in python.
Not anymore. These days a high level language is one that doesn't have a preditable mapping to instructions and memory access, C still has that, and C++ can have that if you use it right.
Part of the problem is that the System Shock formula has been taken and continued by other games and franchise. Deus Ex has been similar since the start. I hear Prey is good. When Fallout went FPS, it started being like System Shock as well.
(Despite claims, BioShock is not a spiritual success to System Shock. BioShock has almost nothing in common with both System Shock games as far as gameplay is concerned. Almost any of the Looking Glass games are better than BioShock, yet people praise it for some reason. Heck, "System Shock with a freeze gun" will probably end up being better than BioShock.)
True, Bioshock is a linear console FPS with boss-fights, it has nothing to do with the immersive RPG genre that System Shock is a poster child of.
I think the attractive aspect of Moore's law was that it was simple and everyone got the general gist. Some people like to argue about the details but they mostly don't have anything else to do with their time.
I don't think we need a Huang's law. If you asks what Huang's Law is, everyone will just say it's like Moore's law except applied to GPU's.
Same applies to all those other people who want to name things after themselves.
True. The generalized Moore's law is that everything in computers were improving at exponential rates just with different doubling rates.
And since Moore's law is based on his last name, wouldn't it be Jensen's Law if they really wanted to make a counter law?
yes it's illegal to cause traffic accidents. be it by defacing signs, stealing stop signs, or screwing with the road markers. this is not even a question.
What if you cause it by wearing a custume looking like a stop sign to a computer, but like a custome to a human?

That's the normal driver you described. The statistical average is always a little drunk and much worse in the amount of accidents they cause.

Found the guy that works at Tesla
Or has invested in them :D

No one has made those in 30 years.

Maybe to someone with aspergers like yourself. The rest of the world couldn’t give a shit less.
You cared about it enough to reply with an adhomin attack on someone stating the obvious. That is a lot more than I care.
Lying seems a bit over-used in such a case. Parsing.
Are you claiming it the term is correct or that they are not aware they using it incorrectly?
It is not a big lie, but it is a lie.
for example....?

Netflix participates in production of original material, but also the other parties have rights of ditribution.
Only a part of the netflix original content is netflix exclusive.
in other words:
original != exclusive distribution.
No, they use the "Netflix original" for exclusive content they had NO part in producing. I have seen it applied to shows made in the 1980s.
OK, but what does Netflix Original mean?

real men echo to /dev/dsp
Except for those who noticed that /dev/dsp was deprecated five ages and two aeons ago, and today its emulation is not even functional anymore.
You could say the same about beep, deprecated and now only works through emulation.. Emulation so complex it has security holes.
If you have never written a script to generate music using beep you don't belong on slashdot.
Coding music with beep is like programming BASIC, real men echo to /dev/dsp.

Dogs have evolved to be omnivores.
