Is he doing it single handed? I'd love to do that one day.

I did a trans-Atlantic about 10 years ago (Liverpool, england to Salvador, Brazil) as part of the clipper challenge race. We had a few force 8 and above experiences between the training and the actual trip. The boats were a bit bigger (68 foot, from memory) but either way it's amazing how resilient they are.

Once we went right over surfing down a wave (had a broach). At one point the boat was standing upright on the bow and was over so far that the mast was almost level with water so I could walk up it. The team spent a lot of time stitching those sails together again :-)

Sounds like a study with a lot of confounding factors. Example- patients treated in the ICU are more likely to die than those not in the ICU. The confounding factors being the critical condition of the patient. Patients in critical condition are brought to the ICU. The abstract of this paper says that it essentially compares doctors in the same hospital. Is it a stretch to think that senior doctors would see more complex cases.
There's some weird stuff going on in that app.

The oddest result I got was a rendering of 我长得不漂亮 as wǒ zhǎng dé bù piào liang "I long obtain no pretty". This gets the pronunciation right on four out of six characters. It gets the meaning right on three out of five words. Weirdly, it gets the pronunciation of 长 zhǎng "grow" right while glossing it as if it were 长 cháng "long".

If I give it 重新 chóngxīn, which is an adverb meaning something like "start over", it recognizes it as a single word of the correct pronunciation, but mysteriously glosses it as "reappear".

If I give it 我的狗去世了, it does pretty well, but glosses 了, a modality marker, as "is", which makes me extremely uneasy.

Transatmospheric "flight" is practically impossible for a human to directly control. Even in a simulation, the changing atmospheric density's nonlinear effects on lift and drag require real-time calculus in a way we have not evolved to process. Add to that turbulence, et cetera, and the effort quickly becomes futile.

On the 757, the pilot's controls move steel cables which open and close the valves on hydraulic rams which move the surfaces. Hydraulic power is necessary, which is why there's the backup RAT to supply enough hydraulic pressure to run the primary flight controls if the engines all fail.

A "feel computer" pushes back on the pilot's controls so moving the controls feels like it would on a machine where the surfaces were connected to the cables.

I'm pretty sure the 757 can be flown with no electric power.
what is missing in all of this, i think, is the ability to do a/b testing. It'd be nice if app stores provided the ability to repush existing version and new version to a small fraction of users - this way you could compare in a more sane way.
When you only provide the system with a few examples, there are many possible transformations which satisfy the examples.

One way to eliminate this ambiguity is to also provide a natural language description of what you want, e.g. "remove the spaces".

In the natural language processing community, we call this semantic parsing.

But sometimes the semantic parser can misinterpret the language too and generate a program which still "cheats" in the same manner as you described. We call these "spurious programs".

Shameless plug-- my group has been working on how to deal with these spurious programs:

The docs are sparse... but it looks like the answer is that it depends on what you mean by "correct." It doesn't look like it's a general purpose theorem prover, but it does appear to be model/spec-driven and the linked article says that the system can prove safety and liveness. I'm guessing they mean "type safety" but they may be using the term in the broader distributed system sense. In any case, it does look like it gives you certain "proofs for free" if your definition of correct is "eventually converges on a consistent state." I don't think you can prove arbitrary properties like you can with Coq or with a dependent type system. Still, very cool.
Kubernetes is actually getting a solid amount of large-tech and early adopter enterprise deployment. That's still pretty nascent, but it's picking up quickly. Happy to discuss in more details offline the adoption we're seeing.

The reason you don't bump into k8s while selling to Hadoop users is that Hadoop isn't something you'd run on a container-based stack (at least not right now and IMO it wont be). There are lots of Hadoop users who run containers for their application infra (as opposed to data infra). Pachyderm's whole pitch is that containerized data infra can be really powerful and that enterprises will want to unify their stack to all be containerized and k8s is THE answer for the orchestration layer.

P.S. Despite all my opinions above, I actually agree with your initial question around who zetcd is actually targeting. I don't have a clear picture of that.

If the behaviour is undefined then the code is broken. Programmers need to learn the language instead of putting together hail mary code expecting it to somehow work in spite of the language specifically telling them that they should not expect any defined behavior out of it.

People who whine about undefined behavior are like kids who insist in jamming their fingers in a electric socket and whine when they get a shock.

>> Students should be able to discharge their student loans in bankruptcy.

No. Bankruptcy is touted as being an absolute last resort that destroys lives. That's not the case, particularly if you are young. It's better to file for bankruptcy if you believe you will not be able to pay off your debts within a few short years. If student loans could be dumped with bankruptcy, every student would be advised to file for bankruptcy before their first payment became due. Bankruptcy would become the norm for many 21-24 year olds.

Exactly. One of my eternal questions about shiny new technologies is, "Great, but who's getting value from it on a daily basis?"

I keep asking this about Bitcoin, et al. For 6 years I've been getting, "Oh, it's just about to take off! You'll see soon!"

The Internet was definitely delivering value daily by 1990. It wasn't just a technological curiosity. Email, Usenet, mailing lists, file transfer, remote computing: all providing the sort of benefits that let researchers and academics justify paying to connect up.

I think cryptocurrencies and blockchains are technologically neat, and I appreciate them on that level. But neat technology doesn't always end up being useful.

Am I reading that document correctly? He had a clause for accelerated vesting upon termination and so vested 507885 shares immediately when they fired him in December (par. 36), and this suit is about the remaining 127386 "earn-out" shares that were dependent on hitting revenue targets? On the one hand that sucks and it sounds like he had a terrible time at Twilio; on the other hand he just got an extra 2.5 years' worth of stock without having to stick it out and is basically set up for life if he wants to be. Puts this in a slightly different light. (I have no connection to any of these people or companies, just interested in the story.)
But will the computer let you go to Direct Law? One of the problems with the Air France flight was it switched laws without them realizing it. I'm sure the pilots tried to put it in whatever mode is most like no computer intervention. And from the wikipedia article, it sounds like Direct Law isn't completely direct: the "maximum deflection of the elevators is limited for each configuration as a function of the current aircraft centre of gravity," which sounds like the computer still has some control.
I dunno, the vetting of SV teams leads to pretty strange signaling behaviour of wannabe startups.

I went on deferred payments when I lost my job 2 years ago, after missing the first payment they called me and set me up on a 0 payment deferment plan. After I got my job and made my first payment they called me again and set me up on an income based repayment plan.

Both times they called me, emailed me the forms, and helped me set everything up. I think they people who are defaulting are the ones trying to ignore everything and ducking calls.

Parent loans leave the parent on the hook, not the student so I don't know why youre bringing that into the fold.

Things aren't that complicated, you have multiple (usually 8, one for each semester) loans at different interest rates and you need to repay them. Not that hard.

> And strangely, a lot of people think we should both do that for free (at everyone else's expense) and that we should legalize the drugs that put them there.

Why should we pay money to enforce a legal regime of prohibition that subsidises the most dangerous and ruthless transnational criminal organisations -- to the point that entire fucking countries get destabilised from cartels and US military intervention? Why should my tax dollars pay to enforce criminal laws that turn the crank of the "iron law of prohibition" and cause drug use to be more and more deadly (which we all end up paying for, via taxes and medical costs)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition

Why do people think it's fine to enforce a legal regime that immiserates drug users to the point that they're willing to risk their life (I don't own guns, but lots of USians do) kicking in my door and stealing my old laptop to pawn for some overpriced fentanyl-laced drugs (sold by criminals) that might overdose them in the street? There'd be less laptops stolen out of cars and houses and less people keeling over in the streets and less "gang-related shootings" if addicts could just buy some fucking precisely-dosed pharmaceutical-grade opioids at-cost from a pharmacy.

Didn't we already try this? Murder done by organised crime combined with ineffective/corrupt police and low homicide clearance rates, along with along with severe increases in incarceration rates, increases in overdose deaths from alcohol/drug consumption (caused by higher potency and more impurities) isn't a new syndrome, it also cropped up during the 1920-1933 alcohol prohibition. Ending that prohibition slashed the murder rate. Why can't we do the same thing for drugs?

Where's the "personal responsibility" that prohibitionists need to own up to? Will they take responsibility for how their policies helped trash the US's homicide clearance rate? Is "less solved murders" worth the wondrous results that drug prohibition has given us?

The harm that drug use/manufacture causes is a lot more a function of the relevant policies/laws than the actual chemicals themselves. Indeed, most of the harm from illicit drug use comes from:

1. dose/concentration uncertainty or potential contamination with higher-potency drugs -- like unexpected fentanyl inside heroin

2. contamination with unwanted or dangerous chemicals (from manufacturing / distribution processes) -- such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPTP or cutting agents

3. Poly-drug use: combining any two of {opioids, benzos, alcohol} to exploit synergistic effects -- which can easily result in respiratory depression

4. Designer drugs: using a less tested / more dangerous compound because the better tested and safer one is prohibited.

All of these are either caused or significantly worsened by prohibition and can be much more readily avoided without prohibition. Those harms are not inherent to drug use; indeed, people who have adequate access to pharmaceutical-grade opioids can safely use them for decades without any major medical complications.

> It's about giving the airports the right to clear the airspace around them.

Why should they have that right?

Certainly they should do so over their own property, but if they want to extend that zone for commercial purposes ( i.e. permitting unhindered approach of aircraft so as to charge landing fees ) then the airport authorities should be required to buy land under the approaches, rather than just being able to declare a free-fire zone over other people's property.

You raise a good point, but I think we have to introduce exports and imports into the calculation. As most countries are not subsistance economies, but rather produce for consumption in other countries (and import other products themselves), those exports have to be attributed to the country whose population consumes them. The products that land e.g. in Wallmarts should be attributed to U.S. CO2 output, whereas meat produced in Argentina but consumed in China should be attributed to China.

Otherwise, the numbers don't make sense: China wouldn't release that much CO2 if nobody would import from China.
