Where are these cars going to come from in 2022? Which manufacturer is going to produce and sell more than 150,000 (i.e. 1/10th that of Tesla) next year?
Are we just ignoring the fact that Russ Mitchell is an infamous Elon hater and that the DMCA has nothing to do with the content of the video? The video was re-uploaded by a 3rd party and the original video owner makes a living off YouTube videos so rightfully asked YouTube to take it down.
Onto the ostensible issue of the car "almost hitting a pedestrian" ... This is a beta software that is equivalent to cruise control from a liability perspective. Its an advanced driving assistance feature. The driver must be ready to take over control at any moment as was the case here.
A neural network that is trained via self supervision based on Sony IMX424 rccb sensor data can achieve per pixel depth estimation with equivalent precision as even the most expensive automotive LIDAR.
Not only that, having cm level localisation is wasted resolution. What good does +/- 10cm get you in terms of safety? If the object is 30cm or 0cm away the vehicle trajectory output from the driving policy should be the same either way. At low speeds where that type of resolution is useful (e.g. parking) ultrasonics provided far better ranging than LIDAR and not to mention much, much cheaper.
The only defensible position of LIDAR is that when comparing a model trained using LIDAR input and one trained uses camera sensor input is that depth estimation recall is higher at .99 precision. This means that a non-LIDAR agent will sometimes detect and object that isn't really there or will estimate the depth to be closer when its in reality further away. This can be resolved with improved self supervision techniques and ultimately higher quality and more varied sensor data in the training set.
Why don't I prove the earth isn't flat while I'm at it? Oh wait, I can't. I guess you win. Clearly my inability to prove the earth isn't flat means that it is flat.
See how ridiculous you sound? You think that 25,000+ employees that work at AWS have somehow been silenced into some grand conspiracy? The underlying architecture of an AWS Region is fundamentally designed to keep data in the Region you specify. There is no physical way for it to move between Regions without you specifically logging in and telling it do so. Not only that its extremely expensive to move that data around. You pay for this in Region to Region transfer costs. Believe me AWS would not want this happening for free.
That brings me to my other point: AWS don't give a flying fuck about your your boring corporate data either by the way. What they really want is to replace your old expensive insecure data centre hosting shitware like SAP.
If you think AWS are secretly peering into your data to make the Amazon global cabal more powerful then you may as well unplug your datacenter and go back to the Stone Age. It'd be FAR easier for AWS to simply exploit some security vulnerabilities is your decades old, half-baked piecemeal built datacenter and syphon intelligence that way than it would be to try and attack their own cloud services.
Give me one single example of Apple changing the T&Cs and then retroactively removing Apps that are in violation of the new T&Cs.
Every single time Apple removed an App from the App Store is because the new version was somehow in breach of the T&Cs.
You could say that the rules was applied unfairly to Hey but nonetheless the T&Cs were clear as day about off platform signup/payments because it protects consumer from sham companies.
This is such a ridiculously primitive view of the world it beggars belief. By taking this view you are significantly reducing your security posture, no improving it.
There is an AWS Region in Germany. Your data will stay in Germany unless you specifically decide to move it elsewhere.
AWS also provide you with the tools to encrypt everything and if done correctly means that Amazon no matter how "evil" they are cannot decrypt the data. Not only that, there is such a huge separation in access and rigour around governance that there is no way anyone within Amazon can simply login and see your data even if unencrypted.
Every single case of data being leaked from AWS is because the people working for the company that manage the data literally checked a box to make the contents public. Contrast this to "on-prem" where physical security can get compromised or the vendors of the physical hardware/software leave gaping holes or maintenance backdoors that get exploited.
Honestly these types of views are no more grounded in reality that flat earth conspiracy type views.
>Apple can, at will, remove your entire foundation or business, your (their) customers and your existence on iOS is just gone.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
1) You make it seem like Apple are some capricious God like entity that any moment will completely change the underlying terms and conditions you agreed to when running your business in iOS. Its simply not true. If you remove this one situation with Epic its literally never happened.
2) Consumer trust in Apple flows onto any company that is on the iOS platform. You expect Apple to give this away for free? It provides immeasurable benefit to most businesses insofar that a consumer is far more likely to purchase goods or services knowing that Apple have 'vetted' you simply by being on the iOS platform. By Apple being so strict and stringent on App Store requirements you know as a consumer they aren't doing things in the interest of the vendors which in turn benefits legitimate vendors.
3) Epic flagrantly violated the terms they had previously agreed to simply because they don't agree to the 30% cut. That style of negotiation is absolutely atrocious and Epic should be the ones being punished not Apple. If they felt so strongly about Apple's anti-trust liabilities they could have formed an alliance with other businesses and lobbied governments globally without breaking existing T&Cs. They probably would have won too and been able to get the cut Apple take to the same level that it costs Apple to run (say 15%). Instead they are trying to bully Apple into doing something that benefits Epic and Epic alone.
