Not sure what the general consensus on Tesla in Norway. Sure, they are great cars during the summer, but during the winter they severely lack the robustness of the traditional car manufacturers. One of them being able to open the car door!
Yeah well that they omit a windshield wiper stalk is also idiotic and furthermore outright dangerous. I've done overtakes next to trailers some times in heavy rain where in a second I had to hit the wiper stalk to max. Relying on their camera-based AI to do that (yes they skip on the cost of the industry standard IR sensor for rain detection) is crazy. A german guy actually died a few years back because he was searching through the UI to find the control to set the wipers to max..
I don't even get the AI/ML wipers. Like you say, IR (and I believe some, though a definite minority, even use electrical conductivity/resistance) auto wipers have been reliable[1] for nearly three decades now. Why do we need ML for wipers? Are we anticipating new types of rain that existing auto wipers won't recognize?
[1] To those about to say "they're not reliable", I'm yet to find one that can't be tweaked with the sensitivity controller. If anything the only flaw I have had is when my wiper _blades_ are near the end of their life and they leave a 'streak' of water droplets over the sensor, and increase the false positive.
My guess is that they already have the front-facing camera so someone suggested they can cut costs by removing the IR sensor and "just write some AI" for it. Likewise the stalk is a cost saving.
They also removed the ultrasonic parking sensors from October to use the cameras for it to save cost. Good luck for all who happen to back into stuff at night or into glass windows or something..
The charitable take on this is that it's an optimistic design that anticipates a future where an AI will deal with all these minor decisions. The cynical take is that it's a cost cutting measure so Tesla can sell cheaply-made cars at premium prices.
That's not charitable, that's deluded. There's nothing charitable about giving you an inferior product in the name of a hope that at some point in the future, other things will be done just as poorly.
An electron-apps can use and call native code. I see Rust getting some attraction being bundled with electron apps. This should be a thing every electron app maker out there. Rust or otherwise.
I only skimmed through the article; so bear with me.
Currently at work we do extensive work with AWS Lambdas that does algorithmic calculations on in-memory datasets with pandas.
We're all pretty new to pandas and python in general. Our workflow has lead to us dropping debug-breakpoint in PyCharm and using ipython to interactively hack at our problem til we get it right. I think it works wonderful.
Until this project, I didn't use debug-breakpoints that much, but I've learned to appropriate the features PyCharm provides. It's very powerful once you get the hang of it.
1-5 star rating system works out when you have a lot of data; and don't work out at all when you have poor ones.
Now, that rating only makes sense given the clustered group of people with similar taste. It's also adds complexity of the clustering said group.
Furthermore, I think people generally are not always the best critic. I totally can picture people being precise in their rating getting the most of the the recommendation engine, and the sloppy getting poor recommendations.
In that case, I can't blame Netflix for wanting to trim down the complexity for making it easier for the audience and themselves.
Cooperations have had 2 years meeting GDPR requirements.
If you're late to the party, which I think the majority businesses in and out of Europe are, means you have made other priorities.
Question is whether or not how hard they hit when GDPR goes live 25th of May. That remains to be seen, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a `grace` period.
Virtually no big russian software companies incorporate in Russia, because the criminal raiders will take over the company - see Yandex, Parallels, Kaspersky Lab, all are registered in Europe with those companies controlling all the IP.
their EMEA Sales are in Prague. Anyone can go and see their offices map on https://www.jetbrains.com/company/contacts/ . By the way, most contact second names are distinctively Russian. And the name of their own programming language - Kotlin, is a tribute to island in front of St. Petersburg.
