Yes, correct!

And because the wind is not constant, airline dispatchers will generally try to pick the route and altitude with the most favorable wind direction and speed.
Yes. Ground speed is basically airplane speed + wind speed.
> here is nothing that says an enormous, impossibly thin solar sail can't be formed by randomly bashing an infinity of rocks together over a near-infinity of time

Nobody is saying that it is impossible, the author is simply saying that it seems unlikely that is the origin. It's Occam's razor, whereby the simplest solution seems to not be alien intelligence or serendipitous solar sails, but rather something that we have seen appear naturally (fractals).
I am; the stupidest thing anyone can do is try to save some time at the expense of placing faith in the justice system. I’d add, how screwed up is a system that punishes you for exercising your constitutional rights.

ground speed is the speed of the plane, relative to an observer on the ground, air speed is how fast the people on the plane are going relative to themselves.

Airspeed = Ground Speed - Wind Speed (wind blowing towards front of plan is positive, tailwind is negative)

* The given description of Tesla's "Shadow Mode" has been bouncing around for a while, but it's not accurate (see https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1096325954375430144 for a description of what Tesla actually does).

* The description of LIDAR having "much more detail than other sensors" is confusing. LIDAR has more detail than radar, but LIDAR is much less detailed than cameras.

* The description of the 2016 accident is not correct. MobilEye provided the EyeQ3 chip on the car, not just the software. "Since then, Tesla added radars for these situations" is flat out wrong; Tesla has always had radar as part of AP, and radar didn't (and won't) prevent that sort of accident (https://twitter.com/artem_zin/status/748623772056428544)

It may be worth pointing out as well that the stereotypical 40 hour/5 day week applies primarily for people commuting from their homes to a factory/office. There are lots of situations where people commute to a remote location and work ~12 hour days in a week/2 week/month on-off schedule.

Probably not based on scientific study but just a practical response to crews that need to be transported to a remote location and operate 24 hours a day collectively.

Naiva af and dumb as.
For 1. you only need a few bored grads at MIT/Stanford/another top school (where did the DeepFake come from?) that think it's a cool idea and no resistance from OpenAI et al. would matter (it should be fairly simple to reverse engineer small model they released and augment it with more data/layers/loss functions). Soon the "next cool chat app" will have a shitpost generator as its main feature, possibly trained on humor/sarcasm to make people ROTFLing, like Snapchat used to blow people away with (whatever) face filters, making this technique extremely popular.
they are selling hype. i also see it as a jab to fb/google "look boys, we re gonna keep this nuclear bomb from filling your databases with spam"
So lets run the numbers:

At Perihelion it was 38198320 km from the sun = an acceleration of 0.090962666582226 m/s^2

It's 1km long so on the other end the acceleration is 0.090962661819574 m/s^2

Subtract: .000000004762652 m/s^2 which is such a small amount I'm not sure how to put it into context.

Multiply by 1 metric ton = 1/5 weight-force of a single snowflake on earth.

Which means each metric ton of material needs to handle just that much force trying to separate it.

i.e. it won't be ripped apart in the slightest. Over centuries it might elongate a bit (and it's already elongated).
The difference is about 1.1 mph (edit: out of 800 mph) at 30,000 ft compared to ground, so I don't think it matters too much.
This has very little relevance to the topic at hand as these refer to electroencephalogram measurements taken through a skin (scalp) patch and conductive gel.
This isn't true in my experience, because in that case there would be many more players with masculine names than with feminine names, which is not the case; I'd say the amounts are similar, with an overwhelming majority of neutral names.

Important: this coming from my background, which is WoW, and not any of these modern games and communities. Maybe things have changed? The average WoW player is definitely older than the average Fortnite/OW/whatever player.
> But latency will decrease with time.

Only to a point.

For these streaming services to work, you really gotta have the data center within 1000 miles of you. If they only have a service in say, California, and you're on the east coast, well...even a round trip at the speed of light is about 30-35 ms. Add in the fact that electricity doesn't actually travel at the speed of light, processing time for routers, and delays for video compression/decompression, and you're looking at at least 60 ms delay on inputs that probably can't possibly be reduced.

Show HN: Measure If You Sound Good on Video Calls
Hi Jacques, author here. I'm a big fan of testing so I'm disappointed if the article gave the opposite impression. You won't find me saying "of course I didn't test it; I proved it correct." I was trying to use the guardrails metaphor as an intuitive segue to a topic that's boring but important, something that's more approachable than just proofs vs tests.

I think Dijkstra wouldn't be satisfied with anything other than proofs. The article is meant to look at the ways we write programs that fall short of his standard (ie almost everything) and ask if there are gradations there. I find pretty big differences in code that's written to meet the lowest bar of "just pass the tests" vs code that's written with the intent of keeping its state space small, methods tidy, and overall complexity limited. I don't know of great language to convey that distinction so I'm borrowing the term "intellectual control".

The article is also available as HTML: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8611447
When you have whole teams doing "AI safety" at FANG, what do you think would be a logical output of their work? Wouldn't it correlate with what we see from OpenAI?
Ah of course. I assume that is done pre-ADC though, so it is part of the analog circuitry on-board the sensor?

'Ruck' is definitely not UK military lingo! Talking about a 'rucksack' sounds extremely civilian to my British ears.

The UK military term is 'bergen' or 'daysack' or something smaller.

Historically, they've recommended Heroku... however, their dynos have a cold-start problem, causing your snake to sometimes timeout. I would recommend using an AWS free-tier instance if you have the option.
Sure, but this is under the assumption that the information is being censored, which I don't think anyone in this conversation is calling for. I'm certainly not suggesting that flat-earthers be jailed for believing in something really stupid, and certainly I'd never support them being shutdown in a public venue unless they got violent.

That said, and as I've kept repeating, YouTube and Google are not government entities, and they aren't required or even given incentive to platform horrible people, or people that they view as horrible. While I agree that it's a bit disturbing that Google is releasing a censored search in China, I don't live in China, and I was talking largely in regards to the United States, (since that was where the whole freedom of speech thing came up).

We draw the line all the time. If someone was in my house and started spouting off Neo-Nazi propaganda, I would tell them to leave, and I would be completely unimpressed with their argument for freedom of speech, as I think you would as well. Am I an evil totalitarian dictator because I don't want to give an audience to people I think are disgusting? Am I anti-free-speech because I'm denying the other members (especially children) of my house the ability to hear opposing viewpoints? Of course not; it's my property and I don't want disgusting people in there.

I would definitely prefer to keep open discourse, but my point is that I don't see how it comes down to the evil dystopian world that your comment indicates because YouTube doesn't want to recommend stuff that they view as dangerous.

I don't find the author's reasoning in the related article[1] that its not a solar sail very convincing

Wikipedia claims UK military uses the term, I added that only from there. It's definitely common in US military lingo and the military-wannabes (see the many civilians or law enforcement who buy GoRuck rucksacks and attend Go Ruck events). I probably should've limited my comment to US-only, but went with what Wikipedia said and added it.
It's the "I don't want to say aliens because no one will listen to you if you say aliens" conundrum, which does a disservice to the science by pooh-poohing any intelligence-spawned possibilities while wildly speculating on naturally-caused possibilities.

Agree this is totally the way to go. We spent $15 and got married in town hall two months ago. Then made breakfast with family at home. The rings cost a little more though.

Tamarin Prover
This makes me think that some time in the distant future, when we're really great a terraforming, we could influence the weather of the planet specifically to create functional jet streams that we could use to make travel faster, and then plan air routes specifically to use them.

A more serious question: I assume this kind of event doesn't actually save fuel because the airplane still has to maintain the same airspeed to avoid stalling, right?

She's not herself a high-powered scientist or philosopher, but she does spend a lot of time around them. For some time her co-host on her podcast was Massimo Pigliucci, a philosophy professor of some moderate note, and whose PhD is in biology. A great many genuine scientists and philosophers are guests.

That association does not in itself, of course, give her any accreditation, but she's widely regarded as somebody who takes the philosophy of science seriously, including by organizations like the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (formerly CSICOP).

Having heard her speak many times on her podcast, I'd say she's not the greatest interviewer or the most insightful thinker. But she is more than competent in the domain.
I have no idea what you consider a "neutral" name, but I'd caution you that if you only work based on your own personal perception instead of talking to others, then you are not going to see your own biased perceptions.

Certainly women play video games, and one only needs to talk to them and ask them why they choose one name over another to quickly accumulate first hand stories. If you do this with people you know in real life, you may find some clues as to what you aren't seeing first hand.

Edit: and, for what it's worth, you may forget that WoW has some unique rules on names compared to other games. No idea how that may affect things.
The Timing app for macOS (no affiliation) does essentially that, and then displays in a timeline of sorts. When one really needs to track time spent on tasks/projects, a quick after-the-fact look at the timeline makes it easy to spot blocks of "downright coding", "wondering how to do something", etc.

The UI is great for that as well - identify a block that is made up of several 1-minute back-and-forths between browser and IDE, drag across that, and enter task, for example.

It depends on your priors. If you set it up properly the evidence for either model from one sample would be weak. You shouldn't be confident in either model after one trial, but you can eliminate some models, i.e. all balls are green.
Exactly. I average around 10k healing/10min, but if the team isn't working well, that can drop 90%. If no one peels for me, or if we just get rolled because of an infinite number of variables, my individual stats can look like crap.
"If that result generalizes to OW, that would explain something which I thought was odd, which was that a lot of demands to switch and general vitriol came during my best performances with the feminine account. "

And better rocket come 'space ship' preparedness. You can only learn so much about things from millions of miles away regardless of your resolution. It's a very serious problem that our space program has severely regressed. In 1969 we put men on the moon and brought them back home safely. In 2019, we struggle to send a man on a flyby around the moon!

It's frustrating because we already have the technology to be able to achieve basic intercepts here, even if they were at high velocity. The only thing in the way is a dilapidated space program.
I watched the demo but, unless I'm missing something, I can't see any advantage over just dragging out another Chrome/Firefox/Edge window and putting them next to each other on the same screen. The UI is kind of strange, too.

In an employment "at will" state(Oregon is one), there really is no such thing as a set amount of days. You could get 15 days off and be fired for taking 4 days off in the year.

So even if you have a set number of days, your manager can still fire you for taking them. Your manager can fire you or not fire you for any reason. So you could take 30 days off and not get fired if your manager doesn't want to.

With "at will" employment there really aren't any concrete rules in play. Everything is just at the discretion of the employer. Regardless of the employee handbook, PTO or really anything. You could be fired for coming in too early. Coming in too late. Not working on the weekends. Working on the weekends. Probably even something as silly as gaining too much weight. Really anything unless it is within a few specific protected classes such as race or sex.

The only variable that exists is whether or not the terminated employee would qualify for unemployment benefits.

Edit: I should mention this is US specific as most US states have "at will" employment laws.

What you're saying isn't demonstrating any inconsistency. A thing is only true in mathematics if it follows from the definitions. If you change your definitions, you should expect that theorems built upon those definitions will no longer hold.

Stated another way, consistency is only a coherent mathematical concept from the perspective of a specific set of definitions. There's no problem here.

I think we have a very good chance of un-electing him. He's alienated all but his most dedicated core base, and there's a huge list of Democratic primary candidates from which to whittle down the very strongest. Lots of people who voted for him did it with the mentality of "The establishment's bad; let's try something different. Drain the swamp. Things couldn't get any worse." Now those people are saying, "Oh."

> I think the past dozen presidential administrations have made it clear that good governance only happens by gentleman's agreement. The executive has no shortage of knobs, dials, and levers that it can pull on, to inflict 'irreperable' damage.

This is definitely true, unfortunately. A government is made of people, and no government system can withstand being populated by bad (or at least shortsighted) people. Most of those before Trump weren't massively better people than him, morally speaking. Even Obama quietly did some really shady things.

What they did have was tact, and intelligence, and self-control. They didn't take Putin's word over their own intelligence agencies (https://www.npr.org/2019/02/19/695646320/andrew-mccabe-fbi-i...). They didn't display such erratic behavior that their own white-house staff called psychiatrists to ask if they should be worried (https://splinternews.com/white-house-staffers-reportedly-tol...). They didn't have a nuclear football installed in their personal residence (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/06/pentagon-nuc...).

Whatever objectives his predecessors had, they knew those couldn't happen if they literally endangered the society underpinning them.
It's amazing how "the US government successfully misled everyone to invade Iraq" now justifies the world being flat.

I once ordered a copy of Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS) on Amazon.

I had been a TA for Thomas Cormen at the time, and wanted the author's signature. He took one look at it, compared it to the copies he had in his office and said, "This is a counterfeit copy. Where did you get this?"

> “If we don’t solve this with automation, fresh fruits and veggies won’t be affordable or even available to the average person.”

I think this mistakenly assumes that the average person resides in a highly urbanised environment with no access to soil, and/or no time to tend even a small garden, and/or the current systems for harvesting all fruit and vegetables can't work in the future.
