I don’t think you understand Apple‘s stubbornness. They DO NOT like being told what to do. They seem to have gotten a long way better with Japan in this process than the EU, but they’re still not happy about it. So they’re absolutely not go

Oh I see, thank you for explaining. PS: personally I really like Swift, I would suggest giving it a try for fun

I like Mockito, it’s useful, but I’ll never understand mocking out DB stuff. Why fake it when an integration test tests the real thing . I’ve seen what you clearly have. Mocked ResultSets, mocked JDBC templates. “When you get SQL, it shoul

Why did Kotlin prevent those features?

Is anyone doing vertical integration in the computer space besides Apple?

Do you remember the reason? I spend most of my time in the Java and JS ecosystems where one tool does both jobs. In my mind they’re pretty heavily linked. But that may be based on not experiencing the opposite. At least not as far as I can

Was Helldivers II built from the ground up? Or grown from the v1 codebase? The first was on PS3 and PS4 where they had to deal with spinning disks and that system would absolutely be necessary. Also if the game ever targeted the PS4 during

So it’s video of an AI typing text? Why not just send text? Why do you need video at all?

Worst of all stuff like this is “how EVs work” because of them, so even legacy brands have been doing this on their EVs. Don’t want to be old fashioned.

I define “self driving car” as level 5. Or at least 4. It should’ve able to drive itself under almost all circumstances. And well. Tesla isn’t that. Nor Ford. Nor GM. Nor anyone else. Waymo is closest, but they limit the domain and clearly

Ok. Thanks. I must have been thinking of something else. Didn’t Google have little self-driving vehicles without controls that were limited to pre-planned routes on non-public roads on their campus? Obviously a hugely different problem do

We don’t have self driving cars.

Who said “blow through”? Waymos know how to handle 4 way stops.

When did a Waymo kill someone on a closed test course?

> The problem here is that safety and throughput are at odds. Waymo chose safety while most drivers chose throughput. Did they? They chose their safety. I suspect the net effect of their behavior made the safety of everyone worse . Th

Right. You know there are humans somewhere in the city who got confused or scared and mess up too. Maybe a young driver who is barely confident in the first place on a temporary permit, or just someone who doesn’t remember what you do and w

It’s not gonna be good. But you want it to be a gridlock because the cars can’t get out fast enough because there’s too many cars on the road. Not because a bunch of cars that are perfectly capable of moving are just sitting there blocking

GP’s point is that’s a false dichotomy. Yes that’s the correct decision when those are the only options, like if a car has stalled or the driver just got out and ran away. In this case there’s a third option: the computer that’s still perfe
832.

That’s what they usually do. The assumption here is that due to the blackout or some other related issue the human drivers were unavailable. However even if that’s not true if they have more cars than human drivers there’s gonna be a proble

I think part of the problem is they’ve made it our problem. Look I like Waymo. I think they’re neat and I trust them far more than any of the other companies. But in my mind being able to handle stuff like this is just a requirement to be o

Certainly. That one was interesting both because of the odd specifics of it and because it made the road more slippery than any normal accident where just a bunch of boxes of random dry goods fell over. It just happens to make a fantastic e

by MBCook 10mo ago
And yet the humans managed. Even at a normal four-way stop with stop signs people sometimes blow through it. The Waymo has to handle it. That’s part of driving. It can creep through at 3 miles an hour if it thinks that’s what’s safe. All it

Simulate them on a test course? There are absolutely places with street lights and everything that you could test something. Hell since they don’t need to work you can just have some put up in a parking lot to test with. Who cares. You don’

Yeah. I wasn’t considering people, just getting the car out of the way. I wasn’t considering people taking it as a given that any time the car gives up the doors should be unlocked for passengers to leave if they feel it’s safe. And as a pa

It can do that with a normal driver too. Doesn’t make it ok for there to ever be a situation where they need to when the target vehicle/driver is just fine and capable of doing it themselves.

That’s clearly unacceptable. It needs to gracefully handle not having that fallback. That is an incredibly obvious possible failure. Things go wrong -> get human help Human not available -> just block the road??? How is there not a ve
