I've riden in a Tesla and I can assure you it does not anticipate or correctly react to all curves. For example, the 2016 Tesla S totally over reacted to this slight jog in 101, terrifying all of us, and forced the driver to take over

How useful is this data really though? Say their software makes the decision to go straight and maintain the speed limit. I, as the driving choose to speed up. Was their software right or wrong? Did I speed up because I was avoiding some

I wonder how it works though. Who checks the logs to make sure what it would've done is the correct thing. And if it's done by software. Why isn't that software "driving" the car?

I definitely agree with the overall sentiment of your post but don't forget; even pure digital designs need to be powered and cooled and the design problems and available solutions for doing this at 28nm vs 10/7/5nm are diffe

I would argue it's a recompile in the same sense that moving a c-based, command line only, project from OSX to Linux is a "recompile". It will most likely kinda work assuming you only touched the most fundamental API calls b

Judging by all the other spam I get I think no. Especially if it's just a notice that they have no intention of actually following up on.

I wouldn't work on someone else's project for "many days" for free. I strongly suspect most other candidates wouldn't either. If you start paying them for their work, then it seems the decision to employ has been

Doesn't look like they added anything to the debate to me. But given that it has been going on 2500+ years I suppose that is not surprising. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave See also, https

Presumably once it gets "cheap" to launch stuff many projects which were uneconomic become possible. Does this mean low earth orbit gets overcrowded rapidly? Is there an international space traffic control? I wonder if this wil

That caught my eye as well so I googled past surveys to see how the results have shifted. What was more interesting to me is the 2016 distribution is very comparable to the 2013 distribution. But then again this survey hasn't been go

28nm was the last node in Moore's law. Transistors are smaller, but not cheaper. http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?doc_id=1321536 I should also add, many people think 5nm will be technically feasible, although I don&#

Keep in mind a proper solder station has things like fume extraction, hazard waste disposal, anti-static pads, etc. etc. In short, I can think of reasons why a proper station is not practical for a given middle school. But I definitely agr

I think the answer is simply NRE is amortized over a small number of units. This is the case for a lot of test equipment.

He didn't define his criteria for "best". If it's $/core, for example, then Samsung probably is better. But I doubt Apple cares about that particular metric.

I'm not so sure this is true in general. If you believe chip works, it's definitely false for Apple's A8. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8562/chipworks-a8

There are also nontechnical ways to attribute the attack to North Korea. For example a human informant inside North Korea which they did not want to reveal could provide quite solid information. But it appears we will never know the source

This can be true on modern CPUs as well. In fact, if the software chooses, it can even remove power from the core dynamically so one doesn't even have to pay the leakage power. See for example Intel's C6 state. http:/&#x2F
