That criticism seems to conflate culture with skin. The NHL has a culture where bring the spotlight on individuals is frowned upon (For a long time having a high number on you sweater was considered showboaty). The article wants to call this "white culture" that is unwelcoming to people of colour. That seems wrong to me.
Or a car with a "banker cargo" vs a "barista cargo". When I take a toll road, it is with full knowledge of what my time is worth, and that most people can't justify it.
Note, this was not some winding two-lane so typical of BC interior (Though this is getting better). This is a good road that was recently upgraded for the 2010 Olympics.
One again though, people are forgetting that "Autopilot" is just a marketing name for adavanced lane assist and adaptive cruise control (albeit of a relatively sophisticated variety). Expecting it to be able to cope with anything outside routine road conditions is a fools errand.
Tesla autopilot is not that different from its namesake in airplanes. Autopilot does not fly the plane from JFK to LAX, it only maintains speed, altitude and heading. If anything unusual happens, autopilot disengages and drops controls back to the pilot.
> Tesla autopilot is not that different from its namesake in airplanes.
Which is not at all how popular culture shows it, and thus not what people assume when they hear "autopilot".
> Autopilot does not fly the plane from JFK to LAX, it only maintains speed, altitude and heading.
There are autopilots which can do everything but taxiing and takeoff[0].
> So Tesla is not deceiving anyone.
Tesla is not deceiving actual pilots of airplanes large enough to have an autopilot old enough to only support stable flight maintenance. I'm sure that's great for all 10 of them.
Meanwhile, in the actual world there have been examples too numerous to count of people who pretty much expect the car to drive itself. Which I expect is exactly what the people who picked the term wanted: make it seem magic for the sales, but be technically correct enough that it covers your ass (and you can blame the driver) when it invariably fucks up.
Pilots must be trained to the capabilities and limits of autopilot in airplains before they can use it. They wouldn't be confused to the capability of flight instruments by their branding.
The regular person not only thinks autopilot is a magic make-the-plane-go computer, they also think the Tesla Autopilot is different in class than the same featureset with a boring moniker.
Enhanced Autopilot
Enhanced Autopilot adds these new capabilities to the Tesla Autopilot driving experience. Your Tesla will match speed to traffic conditions, keep within a lane, automatically change lanes without requiring driver input, transition from one freeway to another, exit the freeway when your destination is near, self-park when near a parking spot and be summoned to and from your garage.
Tesla’s Enhanced Autopilot software has begun rolling out and features will continue to be introduced as validation is completed, subject to regulatory approval.
Seems pretty sensible and not deceptive to me. To me, that says cruise control++, and not full self driving. The AP2 does do all of the things it says above, just depending on the roads. They say that Teslas have the hardware for full self driving, but not that they're capable of it yet.
"Hey if you read the fine print and ignore all of the popular culture associated with the term it does exactly what you're sold on".
> To me, that says cruise control++
Here's an idea: call it "cruise control++", or call it "drive assistance", or call it anything which clearly spells out that it doesn't drive on its own.
And they will never believe you. Elon musk said he'll run a coast to coast self driving car this year and also unveil Tesla network, the self driving Uber competitor.
Came here to say the same. I've been waiting to see some mention of the use of autonomy throughout the coastal or rocky mountains. This road can be deceptively tricky, but relatively easygoing. I'd like to see a test of it from Salmon Arm to Banff or from Hope to Penticton.
I'd also add that these roads are scary in the best conditions.
Is it really that bad - I drove to Whistler once from Vancouver airport and I don't remember anything unusual about the road. Didn't seem that bad compared to similar roads in Scotland, Scandinavia or the Alps that I have driven on.
The answer is it depends and it's complicated, as raw milk is actually fairly highly regulated. The FDA has laws that prohibit the sale of raw milk across state borders. State laws vary, obviously. In some states it is legal and can be found in stores on shelves, in some states it is legal and can only be sold on the farm, and in some states it is illegal to sell. And, of course, those state laws can be superseded by local laws. You really have to put a little effort in to reading the local and state regulations in each area to sort it out.
I feel that if I was going to buy raw milk from a very small scale operation that I would want to personally see their operation. You have to ensure that the farmers milking are really paying attention to what they're doing. I've had some particularly nasty food poisoning in my life, one instance of which landed me in the ER and had me on a quasi quarantine watch by the county CDC, in fact, and so I don't really play around with my food too much. Milk is a tough one because a healthy cow can become a sick cow overnight. It's also made more challenging by the daily goings-ons with the milking process.
Having said all of that, my wife and I buy raw milk from a mid-scale creamery in Los Angeles, near where my wife grew up, whenever we are in the area. I've never really had much concern over it, because this creamery has been in operation for many decades and is quite reputable, but we are also well aware of the risk.
Similar laws in the US, some places in my state label it as something not to be consumed by humans to get around the laws. I forget what the labels say exactly.
Immeasurably means "incapable of being measured", which could refer to too small to measure or too large to measure, because English is fun like that. It does generally refer to the latter, though.
Nvidia had a presentation at the risc-v workshop a few years back. I think they are building chips with it. Nothing the regular programmer sees though I don't think
