A safety driver is a driver that needs to stay focused on the vehicle's movements 100% of the time, to intervene if the autonomous system fails and starts to become unsafe. This is not what Waymo uses. The autonomous system is trusted

It's not like the price is set for the whole year, though. The price is set each half-hour, so it does matter what percentage of the time the gas peaker plants are necessary to supply the grid. This makes the effect of renewables on pr

IIRC it's still years out, though less than a decade.

Only if your transformer is the difference between the grid failing to keep up with demand or not.

Except that one is transmissive and the other reflective. They're not the same kind of thing. TBH I feel like a demo like this is the only way to get an intuitive feel for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xx7sPPTu3Y

The Amazon Go situation was also wildly misrepresented in media, to be clear. It's fairly obvious that they did actually have some vaguely accurate video processing tech, it's just that the reliability never hit a level that the c

Yeah (at least, that's probably the case in some parts of the US), but I didn't pass my test in the US.

I don't need, legally, to demonstrate any knowledge of this to drive on US roads currently (or even, strictly speaking, to know what side of the road I should drive on).
969.
by rcxdude 9mo ago
Indeed. I can rent a car and drive in the US, despite having learnt to drive and only having a driving license from a country which drives on the other side of the road.

Has Waymo been responsible, in any material way, for any deaths? To my knowledge they have not. (from a quick search: their cars have been involved in one fatal collision total, where a "SUV rear-ends stopped vehicle behind stopped Way

You don't need strict hierarchies, necessarily (in fact I don't believe 'traditional' hierarchies are in practice ever actually ironclad: the org chart is only ever an approximation of the real power structure). It'

No, it would look red. The weird thing about air is that it's not reflection or absorption that gives the color, but scattering, and that means the color is strongly dependent on what direction you are looking at it from in a way that

It's possible to (cryptpgraphically verifiably) split up the age verification and the knowledge of what the verification is for.

I don't need to know anything specific about your life for that to be true, which is why "what about breathing" is so ridiculous. And heat pumps even powered by fossil fuels emit less CO2, let alone the many renewable options

Almost certainly, this is biology, after all.

A better design would not involve a small default-trusted set of keys in the first place. If the signers were diverse and on equal footing, with users choosing who to trust, a single bad bootloader being signed would not compromise nearly t

Gamers want no cheaters, vendors want to be seen to be trying in the cheapest way that has credibility.

Generally it's hard to control: it'll be hot sometimes and cold other times, so a wide operating time is useful.

The CO2 for the power you use (directly and indirectly) is much, much more than what you breathe out. And heat pumps can supply heating without CO2 emissions. Planting trees is good but it's only a net carbon sink on an infeasibly larg

They aren't driving the cars. If someone is giving you advice from the backseat, do they need a driver's license?

Why would you assume this from that experience?

This headline implies this assistance is a new revelation when the only part that might be new is that it's now also being outsourced to the Philippines.

It would be a certifiably insane model with the latency and failure modes involved, for a start.

Password managers like bitwarden also have emergency access features which can do this, with the caveat of trusting them to enforce the requirement of access only being granted after a notification to the account holder is not denied in som

Shamir secret sharing is the cryptographic thing that you want. You can can configure any M of N to be needed to recover the underlying secret. (If you have a trusted third party, you can also enforce a cooling off period: e.g. that any att

In general whatever kind of backup plan you have for when you die could also work in this scenario, you may just need to think harder about anything that you do not want have revealed when you die.

This is exactly the breakdown of the system that people are sounding the alarm about.

Fron what I've seen this can work as a stopgap until IT get their hooks into the cloud system in which case you circle back to paying to costs of incompetence and the costs of the cloud (sometimes stacking on top of each other).

For paying out, maybe, but this is 100% a high priority security issue regardless of AMD's definition of in scope, and yet because they won't pay out for it they also seem to have decided not to fix it.
