MWIR. 4um-ish. The blackbody temp's they are using (>700C) center around 3um so it's also emitting peaks at lower energy. A graph overlaying the two is prob in the paper but so far I'm not seeing it.

This "humans are the bugs" thing is indicative of the disconnect between reality and the pre-programmed car proponents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20462051

Why? The model is wrong. There are always going to be severe bugs in deliberately complicated software. Hiding them behind terms that pretend the issue is about responsible disclosure is much more harmful in the long run because the real pr

For most services I cancel the account and explain why.

There is no making the programming easier, or possible. It's not a problem you can solve with a program. I blame sci-fi for this disconnect. Human sensory augmentation will save lives, but that has nothing to do with the marketing ploy

In my fantasy-py language, there is no "str", base types would be explicit. unicode() bytes(). "something" could have an implicit u"". Composite types could be explicit. If I want a set of int's, I can use

Nope. As I just said, even going the police state route _wont work_. Your premise, that we can make the environment more predicable to make pre-programmed cars easier to program is wrong. That would be attacking the tiny minority of the rea

Right. Except we are talking about corner cases where pre-programmed computers on wheels kill people. Merely better rule following does next to nothing, and that's expected. The idea that we can follow rules to make computers on wheels

I wasn't asking if the (unmentioned) rule existed, I'm asking how do you propose to enforce it?
940.
by jakeogh 7y ago
Consider your half example, how do you propose to do that?
941.
by jakeogh 7y ago
We have plenty of rules already. Rules get broken. The more enforcement approach is a road to China.

That assumption may be technically correct (I don't think it is but that's a different conversation), but it's very likely to be practically wrong in the "galatic alg" sense. By that I mean that the complexity is so

It's possible to condition people to actively avoid something. Shock, labels and association with unrelated (often false) information are pretty effective. http://s3.amazonaws.com/nasathermalimages/public/vide

The knowledge that people can ref things by their hash is a serious problem for power centers.

A consumer does not solder USB connectors together with magnet wire. Power plug compatibility which relies on software for fire safety is a bad idea.

So, the spec allows an under-gauged cable to be plugged into a power outlet, and then relies on software (instead of a fuse) to not start a fire. I'm looking for a word... worse than awful...

That's pretty common. If I bring up the (rather specific) subject of that link to someone who has been extensively exposed to bad information, they associate it with some other event. Association, where there is none, is a very effecti

Certainly. I have checked that box. The magnitude of bad/false information around that Tuesday exceeds the verifiable by orders. Your other responses (I strongly agree with) tell me you haven't really looked into it.

Gentoo tends to maintain out of tree patches (possibly to remove upstream changes), or complete replacements (like eudev/elogind).
