Excellent article btw. You say there's nothing wrong with tinkering but it's a fairly derogatory word. From dictionary.com [0], it's specified as: > an unskillful or clumsy worker; bungler. Certainly here in HN and in comp

Your job description is in German, it would help if you either specify German speaking or create an English version. Can obviously use Google translate but it saves people wasting their time.

I think however the other way round does work. That is computers do stay alert and are able to take over with very short notice. This is essentially human augmentation. The regular collision detection in many cars now is a good example. It&

From the article: > In it, they are trained to keep hands hovering near the wheel at all times so that they can quickly take control when the car does not safely respond to dangerous road conditions or “noncompliant actors,” such as peop

"noncompliant actors" is the Uber term for pedestrians in the road. I understand the computer science concept to abstract the term but when you're talking to the drivers of the cars this is in retrospect an awful term. Rather

Is there a specific system for traffic sign detection? I'd have thought you could have a system that is dedicated to spotting traffic signs in the current country with a significantly higher accuracy than cat detection. Even a small pa

Bare in mind that Space X doesn't really care about trying to control the internet - their focus is making money from putting stuff in space so they can build the BFR. So a better comparison as others have said is comcast and mobile br

Tesla is fundamentally trying to change a 100 year old industry and get cars off fossil fuels. If Apple never existed we'd have uglier mobile phones. If Tesla never existed the switch to electric cars might well be delayed by a decade.

That 75m might not look so bad if you compare it to the total number of internet users at the time. But it's still probably an order of magnitude smaller than Facebook.

For me it's the opposite. There are decent replacements for all of Google's services. I can do this on my own and it's my choice. With Facebook there simply isn't a replacement that has all my family and friends. There&#

I don't see why they need to be 10x better. If every car could match the best that humans can do 24x7 that should prevent almost all casualties. I imagine the best possible driver to be a world-class rally driver who: 1. never drinks 2

As has been said elsewhere false positives of stopping suddenly are bad, but are better than false negatives of not stopping when there is something there. Also the collision-detection systems should be getting tested so that they improve t

The pre-conditions are called Guard Clauses [0]. It's really useful to think about guard clauses and explicitly look for them to ensure the pre-conditions are met rather than have them appear over time as if/else blocks. edit: now

I think we should be able to transfer the guidelines that apply to train drivers. There they spend hours and hours on end doing practically nothing and certainly not steering. However I'm guessing that the Uber test drivers don't
