J. Steven York RESISTS<p>US hardware standards are INSANE.<br>Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online.

Howard Chu @ Symas<p>On page 5 they go on to write "it becomes apparent that LMDB confronts the map size limit, especially for value sizes<br>around 128 MB." Again this is false, there is no 128MB map size limit in LMDB.</p><p>Too bad the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAE</span></a> website doesn't provide any feedback mechanism for the papers it charges so much for. A high price to pay for such low quality technical content.</p>
Adam Cook<p>What is a Level 3-capable vehicle?</p><p>Put simply, per the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/J3016" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>J3016</span></a> standard (which is not safety standard), this is a vehicle that is capable (by definition, not necessarily in practice) of detecting a certain amount of failures to the Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) within a certain Operational Design Domain (ODD).</p><p>With some exceptions, the human driver can (theoretically) remain inattentive to the performance of the DDT until the automated system demands that they regain operational control.</p>
Adam Cook<p>While one could go to the official <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAE</span></a> website and download the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/J3016" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>J3016</span></a> for free... I would highly recommend Professor Phil Koopman's "User Guide" which draws only from the standard and attempts to explain the dry technical language within in a more approachable way.</p><p>Professor Koopman does not at all pervert the standard language and has taken great pains to not do so, unlike many individuals and organizations scattered about on the Internet.</p><p><a href="https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/j3016/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/j30</span><span class="invisible">16/</span></a></p>
Adam Cook<p>Ok.</p><p>What are these "levels" everyone is talking about?</p><p>The original source of the levels is a standard published by the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAE</span></a> with the designation of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/J3016" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>J3016</span></a>. </p><p>The standard is entitled "Taxonomy and Definitions for Terms Related to Driving Automation Systems for On-Road Motor Vehicles".</p><p>Note that the title does not include the term "autonomy" which is found no where in the actual standard.</p><p>If you want to utilize "the levels" in conversation, this is the only place you should be drawing from.</p>
Adam Cook<p>The chart presented below claims that it is sourced from the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAE</span></a> and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NHTSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NHTSA</span></a>, but...</p><p>**THE CHART IS WRONG!**</p><p>I took this from a "Tesla Twitter" exchange.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> has staked much of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a>'s future on the near-term success of their <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FSDBeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FSDBeta</span></a> program (however "success" is even defined)... so, naturally, there has always been an impulse on Twitter to "stretch" the capabilities of Autopilot and FSD Beta.</p><p>Let's take this apart because there are important public safety ramifications here.</p>
GenghisKen Coar<p>Well, <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/MachinerysHandbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MachinerysHandbook</span></a> has let me down for the first time in about two decades.
