01:10 <SilverFox> while driving home from my gf's place I came up with a rather good system I think for self-driving cars and how to make them safer; nothing can be trusted until it can be 100% trusted

01:11 <SilverFox> at least, as close to 100% as we can reasonably get

01:11 <SilverFox> an open-source community driven self-driving system where everything works in modules

01:11 <SilverFox> each module is mandatory tested upon startup, and cannot be set active until it gets the proper testing values from a verified source of constant or reliable output

01:12 <SilverFox> any information that is retrieved for use of driving or otherwise must come from a module, and must thusly be testable upon startup

01:14 <SilverFox> modules can inherit modules, but *must* check if those modules are set active, if they are not active, it can wait for set time, actions that would put the system into DRIVER_ONLY mode, or until that module returns active, otherwise it is REQUIRED to send signal to main command that is it disabled for the reason of failure to startup due to module inactivity.

01:15 <SilverFox> there are the important modules that require extra levels of testing and startup procedures, and are very much less forgiving in their tolerances; Steering, Brakes, Accelerator, just to name the main three I've thought of so far

01:16 <SilverFox> these each require two(2) valid testing in order to be used, and each sub-sensor in these systems must have a valid method of testing before any data can be gathered

01:16 <SilverFox> as any data given to the machine must be within a module, and thusly, be testable

01:17 <SilverFox> This method of thinking and system design should make the car safe as, if not safer than plane travel

01:19 <SilverFox> also a core module that isn't imbedded in the car is the alarm and emergency system of the computer itself, which will be tested upon startup, and no system can startup until it's verified alarm and emergency systems are working

01:32 <SilverFox> It would make things suuuuper obnoxious, but I'd very much rather much spend 5 minutes waiting for startup testing than spend my last 5 minutes of life pinned to the side of a trailer truck because the car had a faulty sensor

01:39 <SilverFox> An example of say, steering module, it's method of detecting failure, or a driver's presence is resistence when it turns the wheel. If you as the driver are turning the wheel, it'll see this resistence and give control. Because it's giving up control however, it must sound the proper alarms and display the proper warnings. It must be made known to the driver that control is handed over

01:40 <SilverFox> we're learning from the uber incident here

01:46 <SilverFox> I'd actually make it so that legal action can be taken with high fines and even imprisonment if safety features are disabled somehow

11:26 <GlassYuri> r4m0n, "There appears to be no license specified, but permission is implied by the following sentence: 如果你需要的也是这种效果，那你就来对地方了！"

11:26 <GlassYuri> a new low in legality for me

16:05 <SilverFox> the lowest price G-sync monitor is a stupid 525$

16:05 <SilverFox> Freesync: 160$

16:17 <SilverFox> you can still buy 60GB SSDs

16:17 <SilverFox> like why

20:34 <SilverFox> just got the GF's computer stuff, got the APU, RAM, PSU, and Mobo, plus a fan hub. We're just waiting on the cables and the case, and then the monitor and keyboard/mouse/headset combo I got from amazon, and the hdmi cable and the wifi pcie card, and that should be everything needed for the computer

20:34 <SilverFox> 18 days until it can be put together

22:46 <SilverFox> qualcomm is working on getting ARM chips to do x86 stuff and run windows 10

22:46 <SilverFox> this is the exact kind of innovation we need

22:47 <SilverFox> a new competitor in the desktop cpu space

22:47 <SilverFox> and with ARM, it's gonna be hella power efficient
