The Effects of Autonomous Cars on Modern DrivingMack Prioleau
Through its ability to perceive its surroundings, an autonomous vehicle can perform essential activities without the need for human intervention. A completely automated driving system (ADS) is used in an autonomous vehicle to respond to external conditions that a human driver would handle. At no point is a human passenger required to assume control of the car, nor is a human passenger required to be present in the vehicle at all.
Instead of "autonomous," the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) uses "automated." One reason is that the term "autonomy" has a broader meaning than only "electromechanical." A completely autonomous vehicle would be able to make decisions on its own. The terms “self-driving” and “autonomous” are frequently used interchangeably, but these are two different words.
The SAE has defined six levels of vehicle autonomy, ranging from entirely manual to fully autonomous, and the US Department of Transportation has approved these standards. The extent of the autonomous car's independence in operation control advances as the levels rise. The car has no control over its functioning at level 0, and the human driver is in charge of all driving. At level 1, the ADAS (advanced driving assistance system) can assist the driver with acceleration and braking.
In some circumstances, the ADAS can handle acceleration and braking at level 2. However, the human driver must maintain undivided attention to the driving environment. The Advanced driving system (ADS) can undertake all aspects of the driving duty at level 3, but the human driver must regain control when the ADS requests it. In the remaining cases, the human driver performs the required tasks.

10 of the world's best virtual museum and art gallery toursMack Prioleau
The original are out of reach for now, but you can still see world-class art-without the queues or ticket prices-with an online tour of these famous museums.
This year's World's Best Awards survey was open for voting January 11 through May 10, 2021, as destinations around the world were lifting COVID-19 restrictions. Survey rules have always allowed readers to reflect on their travel experiences over a three-year period. We hope that this year's honorees will inspire your own travels as you get back out into the world.
What attracts travelers to certain cities around the world? Is it new Michelin-started restaurants? Generations-old cultural heritage? Proximity to geographic wonders of the world? Unsurprisingly, when it comes to determining the best cities in the world, it's all of the above for our discerning Travel + Leisure readers.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
