Rookie's code couldn't have been so terrible that it made a supermarket spontaneously combust... right?

Re: The power of coincidence

I was once performing spike testing on a large system. I clicked the single pulse button and the power to the whole neighborhood lost power. Turns out the instant I pressed the spike button, someone crashed into a powerline and took out the neighborhood.

Here's a race condition we can get behind: Neural net learns to keep up with 'skilled' amateur track driver in robo-ride safety experiment

Re: Control of a vehicle in varying driving conditions

That's what comma.ai is doing. You can install their kit and submit the information to their servers and it gets added to the machine learning database and helps all of the other comma.ai "self driving" users.

Wireless breakthrough: one frequency, multiple signals

I am suprised this is news

This technique of using different orthogonal or non-orthogonal polarizations of the incoming wave for a second channel is trivial. It is nearly the same as isolating linear polarized waves using orthogonal polarizations for each channel you are interested in (assuming the transmit and receive pairs have fairly large cross polarization rejection). What works much better is well established in many communications schemes is QAM, personally, I have seen at least 256 communications channels in one RF channel.

What is the truth on this story

Given the dramatic differences in the coverage from Lewis and the coverage from nearly everyone else, what is the truth. I seem to think that the truth is much closer to this series.
