ah yes, it's true we can keep adding on processors and memory until we go beyond what's in the brain (i think currently deep mind has ~ 11 billion neurons to our 100 billion), and indeed so far it's helping, but my point is that it's not at all clear that "more = better". there is more complexity involved than simply scale. the machine could become schizophrenic for exmaple (seriously).

Boeing's more general attitude of dismissing signs that there was a problem with the equipment

Having worked in software for decades, I've noted a particular sort of bias in myself and other developers. We tend to feel that our creations are like our children, and we are far too ready to blame the user. I've caught myself doing this. I've been caught out by QA doing this. I've caught fellow developers doing this, where I am in the position of the user. On that last count, I'm still surprised at the unrealistic levels of incompetence and/or malice ascribed to me in support of those face saving theories.

Emotions are a tricky thing. Do not formulate theories in the heat of them. If you care about being truthful, be especially mindful of your incentives in those moments.

Ask HN: I am a felon who went from homeless to millionaire. How to tell my story
I am a felon convicted of a violent crime who has had substantial success following my release from prison, such as:

- I've made a million dollars on three separate initiatives.

- I've bootstrapped a startup worth > $1M

- I was a very early employee of a company that had an IPO

- I've gone through Techstars, immigrated away from my home country, and was recently pardoned of my violent crime all those years ago.

I've gone from homeless convict that owed $20k+ in debts to being financially independent and so, so thankful that I was given a second chance.

I want to tell my story in a way that has maximum impact. How should I go about this?

Proposal: Write a series of blogs that lead to a release of a book. Follow the book with speaking engagements in prisons through the help of an NPO (thelastmile.org).

Is this thinking big enough? Should I do a traditional publisher or just self publish?

Lastly, not everyone knows that I am a felon. I've never spoken about it publicly. While I am fearful that people will view me in a different light, I'm determined to tell this story because I feel like it will benefit many of those out there who are in a dark time in their life. Can you think of any reason why I shouldn't tell this story?
" A Zebra that decides to try to scare off the Lion, but isn't backed up by the rest of the herd, or isn't backed up by enough of them quickly enough, is dead meat. "

Not necessarily true. An injury by a kick is a huge problem for the predator so they often shy away if the animal fights back. I have seen plenty of videos where single zebras or deer chased a predator away. Obviously this changes if there are several predators.

For some perspective here:

Various WWW tools for OS/2 back in the 1990s also did this, putting the source URL into a .SUBJECT extended attribute. The OS/2 port of wget was also modified to do this.

It wasn't in any way secret. The .SUBJECT of a file was visible in its Properties dialogue on the Worksplace Shell desktop. Which one could also use to edit it. People like me wrote other tools for manipulating and viewing these .SUBJECTs, which were also used for file descriptions by 4OS2 and various OS/2 file management and BBS softwares.

But.. Europeans did put Africans into zoos and freak shows and display them, and European culture did consider them subhuman. Just study the history of Sarah Baartman, for an example. Mentioning that is neither dehumanizing nor defacing European culture, it's a statement of literal historical and cultural fact.

That said, I don't really buy into the theory being presented here. I would need to see some documentary evidence supporting it first, such as a common cultural association at the time of "broad noses" with "Africans" or an attempt to portray ancient Egypt as a Caucasian society. People knew where Egypt was. The pyramids, temples and other signs of civilization were still there. Knocking the noses off of the statues wouldn't hide anything.
The W3C staff I've talked with seem very decent, in a public-interest kind of way. Though there's always been a tendency of Web standards (de facto, and de jure) to serve the interests of dotcoms, a bit like an industry consortium.

I think that industry-savvy people used to be mainly concerned with avoiding abusive monopolies, since we had examples of that. What I think many early Internet and Web people (who tended to be altruistic) didn't anticipate was the current culture of pervasive sneaky privacy abuses and often questionable engineering.
And that simply defeats their purpose. Similar thing was happening with banking regulators before 2007-2008 financial crisis.
> "Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence"

I don't see that that should be applied as a rule of thumb to investigations involving civil liability and possible criminal liability.

We have a situation where there are literally piles of dead bodies, massive civil and possible criminal liability, and key evidence goes missing when in the possession of the party that was in the end found to be at fault, who more than anyone else would have realized that the evidence that disappeared was a smoking gun. It's reasonable to assume that malice might have been a factor in such a scenario and it's a reasonable hypothesis to investigate.

That would make sense. Ads are designed to be visible and clicked on, but on the other hand you can't go too far without annoying the users. It's a fine line to walk so it's not surprising you'd lose some users as a result. The unblockable ads they had on Facebook at some point is what finally pushed me to close my account.

The entire airline industry relies on a sterling reputation for safety. The experience is scary for a lot of people, and the ability to say “the ride to the airport is the most dangerous part” or “it’s safer than putting on pants standing up” does a great deal to get the public to accept air travel. If they lose that reputation, air travel would drop significantly and everyone involved would lose tons of money.

The impression I got from the text is that Boeing has steadfastly denied a coverup, and there is probably not enough evidence to convict if they were to take them to court. The earlier crashes, the ones that claimed lives, sound like they haven't been reclassified to include this as the cause. The only incident that specifically ascribed to the control valve is the one where the pilot regained control and there was no actual loss of life. That allowed the FAA to determine the cause, and force the changes, but it didn't allow them to retroactively change the cause for past crashes. (something undoubtedly Boeing would have fought.)

Poor analogy. Just because they can't break the addiction, doesn't mean they don't care. A lot of long-time smokers are very aware that it harms them, and they wish they had never started, they just can't break the habit.

I've never liked Corel Painter, I've always used Photoshop, but for painting I can at least tell you Krita beats Photoshop in almost every way. It feels like it's built by digital painters for digital painters. I've stopped using Photoshop except for an older version I have for photo editing. It used to be that it had a few performance issues with big canvases, but they've been mostly fixed.

And the brush system is amazing (it also has nice auto-smooth options). You can customize everything. There's things Krita can do with brushes that Photoshop can't which allows me to use my pen with tilt support to the fullest. You can tweak the properties of any brush individually, even invert them. The only thing Photoshop has is real dynamic brushes (similar to Corel's simulated brushes but not as realistic, although faster), but because of limitations in what you can customize about the properties I could never get them to work how I wanted, plus the useful brushes (with more than a couple of bristles) were too slow to be of much use.

Regarding brush presets, I don't remember what presets come built in (I removed 90% of them) but there are nice brush packs out there that people have created that have all sorts of brushes to help get you started.

Many of my customers use Gmail (mostly as part of a company subscription to Apps) and I have frequent problems with their mail getting lost, classified as spam, rejected, filed somewhere, or just difficult to see.

I wonder at which point people will start realizing that Gmail is not all it's cracked up to be. Apart from the privacy issues (you basically have to assume that Google is reading all your mail and mining data from it), Gmail treats your mail as their mail: they will do anything they like with it, including hiding it from you.

If that sounds like a rant, it is — I am worried about the increasingly centralized nature of E-mail.
If you think about what you’re doing to the land you rip up while off-roading, the don’t-go-off-roading solution merits a look. As a hiker, if you could see yourself from my eyes, you would not like what you see. [Edit: ok there are better and worse practices of off-roading and maybe I shouldn’t assume you are not responsible... so disregard that if it doesn’t apply]. But yeah it would mean giving up some kinds of pleasure you’re indulging in now. That’s for you to decide.

As for the dream vehicle you describe, yeah electric won’t deliver that because for example the Tesla pickup and the Rivian won’t be cheap (one of your requirements). But there are costs you aren’t accounting for and probably never will if you’re this deep into it.

BTW Tesla AWD is insane and a step beyond normal AWD you are used to. So (when the truck comes out) the extra money is getting you something. The AWD is not the only thing of course but it is holy shit crazy good in their sedans, I can only imagine how it will be in the pickup.
Yeah this is a shortcoming of the tokenizer. It splits things up in ways that are not 1:1 mappable back to their source unfortunately.

I did a bit of post-processing to get it formatted a bit better (re-combining the “would“ and “n’t” tokens and changing html tags to markdown for example) but there’s still room for improvement.

Spacing specifically is different based on the context. Outside of code blocks you want a space after a period. Inside you probably don’t. But since the tokenizer has one in both places there’s no opportunity for the neural net to learn this (it can’t see any difference). And my naive formatted doesn’t know the difference either. (If you’re curious you can find it in the JS file)

Interesting. I had mostly thought about the region in terms of language groups probably due to coming from a history background, which relies on written sources, rather than anthropology or archaeology.

Looking at the sources for that wiki article, this appears to be one of the largest and most recent DNA studies on ancient Egyptian remains: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15694.

Edit: To stay on topic, my textbook in a two semester art history survey ("Janson's") said that the defacement of Egyptian statues was due to religious iconoclasm without further specifics. I'm going to accept this as the mainstream academic consensus in the early 21st century. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this matches the general thesis of the parent article.

Agreed. The implications of the story make a good movie script, but it's hard for me to imagine how this could play out practically across so many people and so many years. I mean whole careers started and ended in this saga.

I was thinking a more likely explanation is that once the original issue that ultimately was found to be the cause was dismissed, and after more and more fatalities built up, the consequence of admitting the problem may have been perceived as game over for Boeing. As in the financial and legal consequences would be unrecoverable. So basically like the web of lies problem - once they passed a certain point they couldn't go back.

Seems to me it’s a fishing expedition...once you are involved in litigation you can serve discovery on these schools.

During discovery the litigants will get their hands on all sorts of records and communications that no doubt will show what the institutions knew and when they knew it. That will likely result in emails involving deans and other highly regarded and connected individuals. Normally these kinds of people in power will lie about the existence of emails/communications/records (even in litigation) but here they would be hesitant to lie/deystroy evidence because They know there is an FBI investigation/criminal component, so they won’t take that gamble.

At that point to avoid the embarrassment the powers that be will settle so they don’t have to turn over these records and emails or sit for depositions. No doubt like in the corporate world some deans/assistant deans will get a golden parachute to take the blame and the institutions will release a PR statement that they are happy to have resolved this matter noting no finding of wrongdoing or liability in the settlement, but used the opportunity to improve the institutions processes so nothing like this occurs in the future.

There are quite comfortable warm-seated Western flush toilets roughly every 10 to 15 meters along the entire trail.

Enjoy that basement with haphazardly placed shelves while you can. Before long, an ADA lawsuit will wipe it out. Lawyers and disabled people team up to do this on purpose, searching for places to sue. It's not normally a disabled person randomly showing up and being inconvenienced; this is an industry. For example, in my neighborhood every business on a particular street got hit all at once. These teams know exactly what to look for, and will use the smallest insignificant violation to start a lawsuit.
I have troubles with the concept of a "non-intrusive" ad - If you don't notice it to any degree, it's not doing its job, and if you DO notice it to any degree, it's intrusive and disruptive (to a matching degree)

I worked under a CEO who had worked at Boeing before, and he said before that at times there was a number that a life was worth when making decisions while he worked there, in a conversation about diminishing returns in quality.

Now I’m not sure if he meant that literally and there’s a number in the Boeing employee handbook, but he had a point. He said they could make planes cost twice as much and save a few lives that will be lost one day, but no one would be able to afford flying.

This case definitely seems like that mentality gone wrong, but it’s interesting to realize yes, cost was spared in making your plane/car/boat/train as safe as possible

I actually think implicit "this" is a language wart. I think C++, C#, Java, Swift, etc.. would all be better languages if they required `this`. As it is, nearly every one of them ends up needing a per team naming convention to help make the code readable.

int area(int width) {
return width * height;
}

What is "height". Is it a global variable? variable in some outer scope? A member/property of the current object? Absolutely no idea.
