Re:Launch HN: CSPA (YC S18) – SAT for Software Engineers on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @02:47PM (#18858934)

Was curious as to how tests like these guard against Goodhart's law (If goodheart's law is applicable here at all)?

Time to rewatch Gattaca I suppose

Re:How the Ballpoint Pen Killed Cursive on Friday November 16, 2018 @11:55AM (#18469925)

I think people were waiting for a reason to kill out cursive handwriting. It seems it was on the rise or being promoted in schools because of some weird myth that intelligent folks and cursive writing were a thing and established some causal relationship going from cursive writing to higher form of intelligence

Science is about verifiable proofs (verifiable within reasonable time limits) which somewhat means the same thing as formal proofs in the grand scheme of things. Correct me if I am wrong

Edit: forgot to put in time limits

Re:Intelligence as a Halting Oracle on Monday November 05, 2018 @05:08PM (#18386421)

Could it be that 'untrained' humans are NOT good halting oracles? the trained ones are good-enough halting oracles i.e on the scale of a fully focused Euler

Re:Autonomous Trucks and the Future of the American Trucker on Thursday September 27, 2018 @01:55PM (#18086994)

Can anybody expand on the link between autonomous car driving vs autonomous truck driving in terms of challenges faced. If they are similar, not sure why there is this kind of forecasting seeing how autonomous car driving is pretty much far from over or even usable. If they are vastly different, I don't imagine trucking is any easier than cars (maybe it is?)

Ask HN: Why are we so far from reaching acceptable autonomous driving?

from the ask-hn dept.

We seem to have large datasets that can be used, and the best of algorithms Why have we as a species failed to make acceptable autonomous driving a reality by now? What is missing? Do we not have the math to do this, like some folks say we don't to tackle hardest problems in quantum mechanics? (By acceptable I mean, a state wherin there exists a handful of people using it to drive across all...
