Futurology@futurology.today•The world's biggest manufacturer of Lidar says the biggest obstacle to fully autonomous vehicles will be societal acceptance. Even if they cause only a tiny fraction of the deaths of human drivers.English
7·4 months agoIt’s also the nature of the accidents. There are human-causes of accidents that we understand because we are human. We can punish irresponsible drivers more harshly than those who just had a freak accident.
Automated systems on the other hand will fail in completely unexpected non-human ways. We will look at the circumstances of a collision and say something like “it was completely clear [to a human] that the pedestrian was crossing the road, how could the car not see them?” and this will fuel a contempt of the automated car for being incompetent in ways which should disqualify it from driving, as an incompetent human would be, even if the car has a fraction of the accident rate.
We can drive defensively by predicting the mistakes or bad behaviours of other (human) drivers. But when there are drivers on the road that are completely unpredictable and make mistakes in unexpected ways, it makes all of us less safe, and less able to drive safely.

That’s remarkably precise (25pp billion!) for an estimate that has just 3 significant figures. Did they mean a few hundred million years after?

5·5 months agoThat video looks like CGI. Notice the careful choice of soft lighting in most of the shots to remove hard shadows. Also the camera angle choices when on grass to hide the fact that the grass isn’t moving when the feet/robot move on it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's involved in getting a "modern" terminal setup?
33·5 months agoFirst paragraph after the introduction:
what is a “modern terminal experience”? Here are a few things that are important to me, with which part of the system is responsible for them:
- multiline support for copy and paste: if you paste 3 commands in your shell, it should not immediately run them all! That’s scary! (shell, terminal emulator)
- infinite shell history: if I run a command in my shell, it should be saved forever, not deleted after 500 history entries or whatever. Also I want commands to be saved to the history immediately when I run them, not only when I exit the shell session (shell)
- a useful prompt: I can’t live without having my current directory and current git branch in my prompt (shell)
- 24-bit colour: this is important to me because I find it MUCH easier to theme neovim with 24-bit colour support than in a terminal with only 256 colours (terminal emulator)
- clipboard integration between vim and my operating system so that when I copy in Firefox, I can just press p in vim to paste (text editor, maybe the OS/terminal emulator too)
- good autocomplete: for example commands like git should have command-specific autocomplete (shell)
- having colours in ls (shell config)
- a terminal theme I like: I spend a lot of time in my terminal, I want it to look nice and I want its theme to match my terminal editor’s theme. (terminal emulator, text editor)
- automatic terminal fixing: If a programs prints out some weird escape codes that mess up my terminal, I want that to automatically get reset so that my terminal doesn’t get messed up (shell)
- keybindings: I want Ctrl+left arrow to work (shell or application) being able to use the scroll wheel in programs like less: (terminal emulator and applications)
There are a million other terminal conveniences out there and different people value different things, but those are the ones that I would be really unhappy without.
So basically it’s the features that have been standard in shells and terminal emulators for the past couple of decades.
Have you tried flushing the DNS cache in the system that you’re testing on?
