Because min/max per range is for complete suckers, who think it is feasible to buy at minimum and sell at maximum price. Definitely not practical for mere mortals trading a volatile "asset". I chose a biased $19,650 value to

I would agree, if the Autopilot didn't need a significant amount of human attention to avoid a simple, potentially deadly crash. Your equation should be rewritten to: human paying attention to driving + human preventing Autopilot from

> manual cases don't have any learning effect Not true. The traffic and safety regulations are in part based by analysis and lessons learned from crashes. The infrastructure, e.g. road profile, speed limit, signage, etc. benefits fr

"its price has risen from $3,729 in December 2018 to more than $62,000 this week." Nice advertising. How about: "its price has risen from $19,650 in December 2017 to more than $62,000 this week."

Agree. I still see a lot of value in SO and I participate from time to time. When I post there, I approach it like an interaction with an alcoholic prone to violent outbursts. I'm not expecting rational behavior. I'm not bothered

The Intel Gen GPU architecture, which includes the newest incarnation Gen12 aka Xe, is a SIMD architecture as opposed to Nvidia and AMD SIMT architecture. The reasons are historical, i.e. CPU centric design: x86 CPU, Larrabee, Xeon-Phi, etc

Not really. It was a choice for C and C++ and it has a very solid low level implementation and efficiency motivation. Unfortunately, it also became a curse for these languages. After many decades of existence, they still haven't introd

This behavior will not stop if the only price to pay for corporate malfeasance is no admission of guilt, a fine and golden parachute for the CEO. Serious jail time and bonuses clawback is the only way to put some fear into these guys.

Not to be too pedantic, but there is no connection between the Atlantic Ocean and Baltic Sea. The North Sea separates them.

Pedantry? Perhaps. Baltic Ocean, no way! No Atlantic Sea, either.

Good, but the numerous references to the ocean, 14 of them, indicate sloppy writing. Baltic is a relatively small, shallow and closed sea. It can be fierce, but ocean it is not.

We've got off easy this time. Wait a few years and a major outage like this will leave your "self-driving" car stranded in the middle of nowhere or crashed into a lane divider.

Yes. It is very surprising. I can't see the paper through the paywall, only the abstract, though. Specificity of their test may be low. There are other, older coronaviruses in circulation.

> That one factoid Not one. Russiagate in its many variations was and still is happily peddled by NYT. Coverage of Syria is also straight from warmonger 101 textbook. There is likely more, but I stopped reading them regularly after 2003.
