Not, autopilot is with this accident about 10 times more unsafe than an average American driver on highways, or 100 times unsafer than a European one. Don't take Musk's cherry-picked out-of-context number comparisons at face value.
They are not that innocent in this case. They are doing false 911 calls knowingly, they know the phones are doing, they know they could prevent it, but they are not...
Still cops should draw guns unless they plan to kill. That is just bad form and a sign of bad police training.
Just send police for every call and charge a false alarm fee for false alarms.
Once it starts costing $1000 per false alarm, Apple will find it much easier to resolve the problem.
Well, or at least do it for false alarm calls after being warned about it. We don't want to punish the rare pocket calls that are made due to bad smartphone designs.
Besides I believe there already are fines for abusing 911, so it just need to be acted upon, and with this many calls... It has to be an automated testing procedure, and Apple is just lying because it might be so deeply embedded it is non-trivial for them to avoid it.
Seriously. Google and Facebook are on the same side. Google wants themselves and others to make money from your data.
Part of Appleâ(TM)s lockdown policy is so that these apps canâ(TM)t hoover every little bit of personal data from your phone. Unlike google, Apple have far more to gain by protecting your privacy.
Apple has less fine-grained security than Android does now, and they do steal all your data regardless of how little they gain from it.
That's quite old for a commercial vehicle. I'm sure there are companies with newer vehicles that could have been contracted to do this job, and I'm sure this company was cheap.
So your argument is that Tesla would prefer to miss quarterly delivery targets by cutting back on deliveries, and have its stock tank, than pay more for these "quality contractors" that you insist, without evidence, have ample capacity available for them to use?
A curious argument to say the least.
Someone has the job of buying these contracts and probably gets bonused based on how efficiently he/she can do it. So it is the sort of thing that happens in any large company. They are not a single entity with a single will.
So we're supposed to take at face value the claim that Babbage had no idea if his machine would even work in practice until he met Ada and she made the first working program for his machine, something he apparently couldn't do as its designer? I don't know about you but I've always found that logic rather dubious.
Of course he knew, he designed the thing. But he didn't spend the time writing a programs for it, he had Ada to do that. He probably could have done the same if he hadn't had Ada, but that is alternative history.
Human drivers mow down jaywalkers and other pedestrians all the time. Ten others killed just in Phoenix last week alone.
Yes, even though most people overestimate how fast they could react, a human driver who was gripping the wheel tightly and totally focused COULD have avoided the accident. So could a decent AV. But Uber's are some of the worst.
This one death puts Uber at 100 times the average kill rate of an American driver, and and 1000 times above the average rate of North European drivers. And while 1 instance is poor statistics, this difference is large enough to confirm the theory with Uber AI sucks ass with 97% confidence.
Seriously. Pay attention when crossing the road, especially at night.
She had a bicycle with her. While I don't understand the following argument as a fellow bike rider, it makes perfect sense as a car driver: We all know bicycles are either car blind or have permament death wishes, they certainly act that way.
Being a safety driver has to be one the most boring jobs. It seems to me it would promote sleeping, texting, etc.
They are supposed to have their hands poised over the wheel and be aware of everything going on around them at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
Which is completely unrealistic for the individuals that would take that job.
When the passager in the Tesla was killed when the vehicle mistook the white side of a semi trailer for the sky. Tesla said, all drivers while using autopilot were supposed to be aware of everything going on around the vehicle and be ready to take control. Heck if that is the case I may as well be driving.
Just my 2 cents;)
Hell if I have to concentrate anyway, I would strongly PREFER driving rather than enduring the torture of concentrating on something boring or dozing and be offed by a stupid pseudo-AI.
This is not good for anyone, as the slew of economists and economic reporters have been putting out there for the last few weeks.
I mean you might be right, you might not... but these people are almost never worth listening to.
Economists are only ever right in hindsight, and even then; they still take a few laps around track to get it right.
They are right a lot more often than that if you listen to the independent ones. All economists that didn't have a vested interest in predicting otherwise predicted the bubble collapse of 2007.
Yeah. It seems Ubers implementation is basicaly a level 2 AI marketed and tested as a level 3, and then they are just hoping their safety drivers can keep the scam working until they have gotten some more investor money to burn in their corporate dumbster fire.
I would not have. I have been in situations like that many times. The low light is far enough that you have time to avoid stationary objects in the road, or things moving slowly onto the road.
Ada Lovelace does not qualify. She is massively over-hyped due to some people desperately needing a shining example. While not a complete air-head, she apparently never did most of the things attributed to her.
She is overhyped because she was the first programmer, pioneers are always overhyped, it is the nature of history. She is still less overhyped than for instance Columbus or Edison.
Sounds like the install process involves changing so many files, that just creating a duplicate Windows folder with hard links to unchanged files and pre-copying the new files would make the process go a lot faster. On reboot, just rename Windows to Windows.old, rename temp directory, and move updated registry and user settings into place.
Why just about every single file needs to be replaced during these upgrades is the real question.
Monolithic build..
Microsoft has an impressive super sized monolithic code base.. It is engineering wise impressive they can make it work, and impressingly stupid they are still doing it that way.
It is also the only way it can work, since they don't control the validation mechanism of all the websites they are storing websites for they can't store a hash which is the usual strategy, so they have to have a full clear-text password for the password syncing to work. Additionally you can go to their service and SEE the passwords store, again demonstrating that Google has them in full clear-text.
And while on the subject, please feel free to discuss non-paying Internships...
In America, unpaid internships are generally illegal. They are only allowed if purely educational, involving no economically useful work. If you work, you must be paid at least the minimum wage.
If you work an unpaid internship, and document your activities, you can likely sue for backpay.
I know they illegal in Europe and essentially non-existing there too, but I was under the impression it was pretty common in the US.
"lost his bearings" and "greatest physicist of all time"
Don't do either of these, whoever writes about it.
Why not? Maxwell arguably was one of the "greatests physicist of all time" and was quite lost and off the rails when he argued that it would be impossible for heavier than air objects like humans to ever fly.
Gravity tends to create it's own reference frame which can then be used to construct a coordinate system that can then be used to model the data analytically. All natural phenomena is independent of human constructed coordinate systems. It is true that classical physics is dependent on the reference frame, at least to some extent, but that is one of the many assumptions made.
Newtonian physics is also relative, how much changes between different frames of reference is just a lot less than in general reletivity.

And Apple should counter that and resolve it by moving those jobs to another city
Your move, councilman.
Mm... prime real estate made available to tech companies that actually pay taxes?

While there is a sign at that location warning cars to yield to Bikes
https://www.google.com/maps/@3... [Google.com maps street view]
So it is a bike crossing? Either way the car would not have performed any better if the lady was riding her bike instead of pulling it.
Ok, then riddle me this Batman....
WTF would anyone create/incorporate as a for profit company.....and not have their primary goal of "making a profit"?
For the incorporation protection and the possibility of going public. Not everyone are sociopaths.

Can’t be sad about this one.
It couldn't happen to better nations...
Note the plural.
Humans don't see with their eyes. What you see is created by your imagination. It is easy to see the gorilla when you know it is there.
If you don't see the man in a gorilla suit when he is break-dancing across the empty street right in front of you, you have severe problems.
Note, the place is apparently a pedestrian crossing zone just without zebra stripes. You see the marking if you check Google Streetview.
Yeah. It seems Ubers implementation is basicaly a level 2 AI marketed and tested as a level 3, and then they are just hoping their safety drivers can keep the scam working until they have gotten some more investor money to burn in their corporate dumbster fire.

Chromium source code. It is open source.

Any malware might as well install a keylogger then. You are assuming a compromised machine to argue it is compromised by this.
