That is actually the point. The technology isn't perfect. It is not even currently intended for fully autonomous operation, like was shown in the video. The car is certified for Level 2 automation by NTHSA. The operator must monitor the system at all times. Clearly, he is not. The car is...

uh. The rhetoric as of yesterday was the woman "darted out" from the shadows. That was not darting, she was walking. There are serious issues if that car did not sense her presence, they should not be solely relying on the visual spectrum. Things I noticed: The woman is not totally without...

Welcome to Test @Zebeid!!

Actually it's a friendly thing. Many people around the world don't understand it but you see, having too many teeth and no black eye is looked on by many Canadian women as "unattractive" in younger men.

Dang, now I'm sorry too, and I haven't been in Canada for 5 years. I still pronounce sorry correctly though. And sorry but for the record, Canadians do not say A-boot instead of About. They say A-boat. They say "I" and "eye", and not ahh. as in "ah, I got something stuck in my eye", does...

Gotcha. Nothing wrong with that. Well I fully agree with that, but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Most regulatory agencies were formed as the result of hindsight, and simply allow the Government to impose regulations, without legislation. "We'll fine you, and we don't even...

It is not required, since it is a redundancy.

Hm. That almost works, but what are alts that aren't in test squadron? Imaginary friends?

Heh, it was. Did you ever download a Linux distribution from back then? 13-16 floopy disks. It took hours just to download, then you had this cryptic installation process. You either had a dead system, with a potentially smoked CRT if you tried to install X-Windows with the wrong drivers, or...

Well it's about solving legitimate business problems, not enabling your employer to break the law. Put it in context. Some programmer(s) at Volkswagon were asked to write code that went something like this extremely simplified example: IF(environment_test_mode) { make_fake_test_results()...

A lot of people used NSFNET, most didn't necessarily know they were using it. In the early days, if you were a university student, you just logged into a terminal at your school, usually connected to a UNIX, DEC, IBM, or CDC host owned by a corporation or university. If you were at home, you...

The good news is, it's over 10 times that. Look for routers and NIC's with support for the 802.11ad specification. They operate in the 60 GHz range, and support 7000 Mbps (7 Gbit/s) maximum, but there are caveats all over the place that serve to lower your actual throughput. The problem...

Yep. That pretty much captures it. Then in 2 or 2 1/2 months or so you need a sequel, "Waiting for 3.2" ...

Me too, I switched back to wired USB. Wireless bluetooth works, but it's low power leaves it susceptible interference, and some software (Discord for example) doesn't always play nice with it.

Yeah, a star, black hole, or a galaxy. Or in the future, a starship.

He overcame great adversity to follow his passion. In the NY Times, the headline announcing his passing has a subtitle that reads : "His mind roamed the cosmos". Indeed, it did. His thoughts will forever be a part of the way we see and understand our universe. Pi day will never be the same...

Welcome to Test @Bengel !!!

lol. they weren't. If it took us until around 3500 BC to figure out how to make things go around and around (first known wheels were for pottery), and another about 300 years to figure out how things going around could make things go in a straight line (chariots) without rattling itself apart...
