I believe that the curse of dimensionility doesn't apply here as we are optimizing the "universal apppriximator" of the "surface" of the possible real world function.
> Kernel methods owe their name to the use of kernel functions, which enable them to operate in a high-dimensional, implicit feature space without ever computing the coordinates of the data in that space, but rather by simply computing the inner products between the images of all pairs of data in the feature space.

i have been using C# since 2010.I find it a good language but I believe the future is not for strict statically typed languages and but for smart linters which probably could take over compilers.
The effort you put into strict types doesn't deliver the returns. Languages like Typescript incmy opinion are the best as they provide optional typing and support things mixins for example which is difficult to implement in C#
Facebook is one of the best companies in the tech world. They open source so much tech and pre-trained ml models. Even being smaller than MS and Amazon their contributions are huge. (i don't know what AWS contributes)
”Our founders said: “Cars are driven by people – the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo, therefore, is and must remain safety.” Those values have never changed, and in 2008 we set out our vision – that by 2020 nobody should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo car.”
They probably won’t reach this, but they worked hard towards it. For example:
In that case, be sure to buy a sedan, it's more dangerous to hit a pedestrian with a truck or SUV due to their higher ground clearance and taller fronts.
Maybe the http://www.arielatom.com/ ? Excellent visibility and low to the ground so you won't hit any vital parts in the event of a collision. Plus most people will probably notice you... ;-)
Honestly a gen1 prius is the ideal shape. It's small and the car is one big bulbous wedge. Pedestrians hit the car at the legs, topple over the hood, and roll off.
SUVs and trucks have a huge front end that can rip people in half or slam them under the car rather than have them roll up and off. I saw an SUV hit a deer and the poor thing exploded like a grenade.
You, the driver, have much much more control over pedestrian safety than any tool. Tech is not silver bullet, it fails (rta). If you believe the tech will "protect you", do you job for you, that is dangerous. Get skilled first, augment those skills with tech second.
That's a naive approach. Sure - technology shouldn't replace safe driving, but it sure does help a lot. It was amazing when the collision avoidance system kicked in on my Volvo V60 and did an emergency breaking, stopping in time when some kids snow sled into traffic. I think could have been able to stop in time, but that would have been a much closer call.
Its very good this topic is coming up. Fortune 100 companies pay a lot of money for these services, a classic example is Azure Search, which is using ElasticSearch. I wonder how the ElasticSearch community or the founder is benefited. I am curious to know. Also AWS sells a dozen of open source project as services.
they want to do everything chips,os,software,camera tech,battery-tech,own gorilla glass tech...ambitious company but I wouldn't want power concentrated in this way :)
Could we plant trees in parking lots? A law must be made. In the US especially West Coast (Seattle) for example and also in Germany a lot of flat space has been taken by parking lots. Its actually crazy seeing these huge parking lots. Could we plant verticle wines and change the geometry (introducing gradients to add area for a tree - simple pythogoras concept) to add space for at least a tree per car slot or maybe at times even more.
Many places in the US having zoning codes requiring trees or other plantings in parking lots of certain sizes. Success is mixed. Where I live a big box store will typically be built with a bunch of small trees planted which don't have adequate area for water to reach their roots. They will die in a few years and maybe be replaced by more tiny trees which die. So, that zoning might want to be revisited.
Writing laws to ensure outcomes with trees is hard. Our old suburban community, generally covered in mature trees, made rules that if a developer is going to tear down a house and build a new one the trees must all be inventoried, only a minimal number are allowed to be removed, the rest get fences around their drip lines for the duration of construction to protect their roots and at the end they are checked to make sure they weren't injured. Significant fines are involved for accidentally taking a tree… So now before a homeowner sells their property to a developer they "do a little landscaping" i.e. cut down all the trees except maybe some small ones on the lot lines. Problem solved!
Yup but its like a cat mouse game. There never will be no crime so the in the government laws must keep evolving, just as the thieves get more innovative. But the laws are needed. In Germany at least now they are taking climate change seriously. Munich has invested a lot in public Transport and by 2030 it would really at a good level. The parking lots Story I will make a Blog soon with preise carbon calculations so that its advantage us both for the Business and the climate.
