But are the parts that are easy for machines also what is easy for humans? Human attention decreases when things get more simpler and more monotonous while an autopilot can deliver constant attention.
The problem with systems like autopilot is that the human still needs to pay attention. The driver needs to take over in a matter of seconds when the system encounters a situation in can't handle. Autopilot makes things simpler and more monotonous while still requiring perfect attention from the human.
In theory that's a huge problem. In practice we have 1.X billion miles of data and it does not seem to be such a huge deal. Either the systems are already fairly good, or people mostly pay attention.
Granted, I am approaching this from the perspective of a more relaxing driving experience not necessarily from a pure safety standpoint. People spend 20,000+ hours driving in a lifetime making that less stressful is a huge benefit even if they are still stuck in their cars and can't get work done.
We need better number to do this comparisons, similar car models, similar roads conditions, similar driver population, since Tesla keeps the data hidden from the public I incline to believe the data is not in Tesla favor.
As a teenager I was working in IT department of a mid-sized industrial company. Which meant helpdesk jobs, assembling server racks, manually installing software on dozens of PCs when it was difficult to automate, maintaining industrial PCs (mostly removing dust or replacing cards), manually wiping HDDs and all kinds of assorted jobs that were tedious but not very difficult with basic understanding how computers worked.
> media encoding is pretty close to being "embarrassingly parallel" in principle
My understanding is that there are some fairly tight feedback loops in the encoders that make it difficult to offload things to the GPU, at least if you want to maximize the quality per byte metric. If you want to target realtime and don't need optimal compression it probably gets easier.
The encrypted DNS proposals only cover securing the route to the recursive resolver. So the recursive resolver (your ISP, google, cloudflare) will still see all the sites you're visiting.
We also need encrypted DNS for the recursive lookup itself so you can run your own resolver somewhere.
The resolver is less of an issue because you have free choices there, ISP is harder to change. Plus you increase the number of parties that need to collude (ISP + RR provider) to spy on your traffic.
Well, then what attacker do you defend against if your laptop asks your router via DoT but then the router does an unencrypted recursive lookup anyway?
They did. Google didn't comply.
