That Twitter thread is interesting, because it contains a link to a 'This American Life' program that gives a platform to Alex Jones to explain himself. I doubt anyone would call 'This American Life' a platform for spreading conspiracy theories or hate.

In this light, is Joe Rogan, who also allows people like Jones to explain themselves, a moderate or an extremist?

There are always two strategy to approach the problem. Build Vs Buy.

I know most people go with "Buy" approach as there are already frameworks to achieve it.
I want help with "Build" approach.
You're right that YouTube is not obligated by law to recommend videos. They do however follow their internal guidelines, which try to keep the platform open to ideas. Some of those ideas are distasteful to the majority of the employees at YouTube, however they will still in general respect people's rights to present those ideas.

Allowing monetization (where much of YouTube's controversies have been) is a completely different story since it also involves the demands of advertisers. The advertisers do have a right to avoid paying money to extremist content, just like you have a right not to donate to causes you don't believe in.

> first, do no harm

Easier said than done.

Challenge one is to define "harm" without classifying all sorts of alternative political ideas as "harmful".

Challenge two is once you've defined "harm", build a system that works at YouTube scale that can actually filter it. Also consider that it's a moving target - people are able to figure out how to get around YouTube's filtering algorithm, so YouTube needs to constantly update it to keep ahead of these people.
When tech companies have work that does not need to be done in the SF/NYC/SEA, they go straight to India, Eastern Europe, and (increasingly) Latin America. There is no role for mid-priced US cities.

Which makes sense. They are trying to maximize human capital : cost ratio. Ordinary American cities are good at neither. You go for the highest human capital or the lowest cost. And in some dirt cheap places you can still find a bunch of underemployed people with STEM education.
The criminal investigations would single out the employees, undeniably, but I'm not sure that would necessarily set up the right incentives, seeing as the next act of malfeasance would just be more likely to come with more CYA attached, and chilling effects on new, innovative research could be disincentivized.

In my estimation, a culture change is critical. There cannot be an attitude that sees airworthyness certification as something to be gotten around. There cannot be a tolerance for short cuts. The project isn't done until it is done. A baby takes 9 months as it were.

Perhaps review the practice of type certificate grandfathering? Seems like if anything, any new plane, even if based on an old design should still have it's own type, even if most of the data is the same as the old one.

Prove negligence as the facts allow, keep a thumb on Boeing until ample evidence of cultural improvement has taken place, and possibly tune up the regulatory framework to make sales oriented pitches like "no-retraining required" less likely? Or at least define some degree of modification that legally requires pilot/operator retraining?

Then just let the legal system resolve the remaining civil suits?

I don't think the entire company needs to be rendered no more, but a line in the sand was crossed, so I believe regulatory escalation is in this case both warranted and justified.
The red light thing is always funny. Driver's just don't notice other driver's run red lights either because they're far away from the intersection, their view is obstructed by other cars, or they're just doing other things during a red light. I'd say, from my bike, I see a red light run once every 2 days and I only go through about 5 lights on the way to work.
They have a paid option. Advertisers pay them to show you ads and get your data.

The difference is that Medicaid is a patchwork of various state systems rather than a no-questions-asked federal subsidy. Some states are hostile to Medicaid (e.g. Kentucky with its work requirements). Furthermore, the entire future of the ACA system is in doubt, because of executive sabotage, legislative attempts at repeal, and judicial overreach. All of that leads to people not being confident that they will be able to get the health insurance they need. That's why the Swiss system can fairly be described as universal health care, while the American system cannot.
Yes. In Emacs, if I setq some variable it doesn't stay set forever. In particular, not after I remove the setq statement.
Somebody should have tested that in Firefox. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's an unreadable mess.
That doesn't make sense.

Why would you want to ADD to the problem instead of being part of the solution?
Microchip sell a commercial version of a similar technology called "Bodycom", which has a similar low data rate and deliberately short range away from the human body.

It's quite old now though, so it's possible modern BLE systems are more power efficient.

4-copter has use for the balancing and has replaced complex mechanical flybar with cheaper electronics.

From what I understand, runaway trim looks like a continuous change, where runaway MCAS is intermittent changes every 5 seconds with longer delays if a pilot just touched the throttle trim controls.
That’s the point of the question. Is this the result of convergent evolution or are Boston Dynamics simply mimicking nature’s solution? Even worse, what if the bird-like head motion has no functional value for the posed problem?
I disagree. YouTube obviously allows hate speech and violent images on its platform. Did you follow their struggles in removing the NZ video? If they wanted to have systems to prevent what happened, they could have built them. It is not a stretch, in any way, to think that one day there would be a viral video that they HAD to remove for one reason or another. In fact, they do it every day for the RIAA.

Its not like YouTube is bound by some cosmic constant that makes it hard to police the content on their platform. They are Alphabet for god sakes, they have so much money they don't know what to do with it. They can, and should, solve these problems, and we can, and should, hold them to account until they do.
> So is one expensive F-35 capable enough of taking on 3 cheaper (yet sophisticated enough jets read up on JF-17 recent achievements)? Granted pilots and ground crew on both sides are equal match in skills.

According to most simulations and exercises--yes. The F-35 absolutely wipes the floor against cheaper adversaries.
We all know Supply is severely constrained. So, ultimately, it's all about demand which determined by how many employers are hiring.

Have google and facebook cooled off their highering now that they may be facing potential regulations/being broken apart? Have other companies reduced their highering in the area?
I was reading between the lines on the fact that the scenarios the listed involved high speeds (which generally need nose down trim) and an aft centre of gravity which also needs nose down trim.

Further, the section on EUSA's position clarifies that they wanted to improve the margin of safety on an out of trim dive, this is where 3 seconds of nose down trim (incidentally, that's how long they expect it to take for a mediocre pilot to identify a trim runaway) are applied without pilot intervention and the pilot has to demonstrate controllability.

But that point is pretty moot because the electronic trim cannot drive the jackscrew to the extremes that the manual trim wheel can, but it can return from the extremes to the centre. MCAS is driving trim to the nose-down extreme and the pilot is trying to return it to neutral.
Actually, I think it could last for millennia as built. Just not the full 89,000,000 years as mentioned. Even if you ditch the theory, there's a good chance this will keep running as built for several decades and that's pretty crazy. Makes me want to build one and let it run.
This reminds me of Tim Lewis' Pony kinetic sculpture...

> Are you saying that food demand is so unpredictable from year to year that we need to produce and extra 40% as a buffer to avoid famine?

I think GP is saying that food supply is so unpredictable (climate, pests, etc.) that suppliers need to target a large excess of production to avoid famine.
Eh. I used to think that, until I actually wrote event systems based on all of the above. epoll turns out to be my favorite.

Buffer allocation with IOCP feels incredibly ugly. You must allocate a buffer before you initiate a read(), and then you must leave that buffer alone until the read() completes. You would think that this has the advantage that the kernel doesn't need to allocate its own buffer, and you get some sort of zero-copy magic where bytes land directly in userspace. But that's not really the case. The socket still needs a buffer on the kernel side in case bytes arrive while no read() is pending. So now you have to allocate a buffer for each socket and the kernel also has to allocate a buffer for each socket, which seems like a waste.

This rabbit hole gets deeper. What happens if the socket receives two packets in rapid succession? In a naive implementation, the first packet completes the read(), and signals the completion on the IOCP. The app now has to process that event and start a new read() when it's ready. But in the meantime, the second packet arrives. Whoops, no read() is pending, so now the packet has to go into a kernel-side buffer only to be copied later.

But that's a naive implementation. Apparently, in reality, the kernel implements some sort of nagle-like algorithm where it tries to wait a bit for additional packets before it actually signals completion of a read(). But this introduces delay, and many projects (e.g. Chrome) have discovered this delay is rather harmful to certain kinds of performance. I read somewhere that Chrome and others have given up on IOCP and use WSAPoll instead -- but I can't remember where I read this because all the lore about Windows event handling is hidden in random forum threads and Github gists rather than proper documentation.

It seems to me that the right way to do what Windows was trying to do here would be for userspace to allocate a ring buffer for the kernel to use, and then the app and the kernel would coordinate the start and end pointers of the ring buffer. Then the kernel needs no buffer of its own; it can always deliver to userspace. If the buffer fills up, the kernel can do exactly what it would do in the case of a regular kernel-side buffer filling up -- apply backpressure and force the peer to retransmit later.
Nothing mentioned in this thread is Extreme.
I remember seeing that in a documentary about perception "WHat the bleep do we know?". I might have found some original reference at some point in a book about Magellan arriving for the first time at Tierra del Fuego. I don't remember the details.
It looks fine in mine and Im using the latest version.
This might be constrained even more by other identities.
Thanks for the tip, I agree. I'm thinking of making a "playground" also, which would help with quickly showing how it works and allowing people to fiddle with it easily.

yes, and keep in mind, you need to select "Median Sale Price" from the drop down value. The zillow home price index is misleading (according to their own data) and deviates from whats really happening (median sale price).

Yes, that's somewhat correct. I think it's more correct, however, to say that trucks (commercial ones) account for the vast majority of wear and tear. I've read that the wear and tear scales with exponentially with the weight of the vehicle, and trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, far more than your typical car that weighs 3000 or so.

Of course, on residential roads, they don't usually have many large trucks. Also, in areas with snow, it seems that snowplows actually cause most of the potholes.

This whole thing seems like more harm than good and an example of Facebook (intentionally or not) having a larger political influence than a "social media" company should.

I think "limited to political ads only" adds to the initial problem of political ads in first place.

What even counts as a "political ad"?

Sure, there are obvious examples like "vote ___ for governor", but then is an advertisement for condoms a "political ad"? It's a politically charged topic, so... it depends.

However, JRE hosted Alex Jones (conspiracy theorist "mass shooting victoms are crisis actors"), Gavin McInnes (white supremacist), and Milo yiannopolous (conservative provocateur who among other things supports pedophilia in the gay community.

Joe himself I can't comment on. He chooses to promote controversial and actively extreme people though. Sometimes he disagrees with those people, sometimes he doesn't.
Car modding has a) very high up-front costs, relative to developing political ideas and b) arguably very little chance of doing large-scale damage to a society.

If car modding videos led you down a rabbit hole towards "watch how fast I can go if I cut the brake lines with these $3 wire cutters! Those braking requirements are just a conspiracy between big auto and the shadow government to keep you from reaching car enlightenment, so make sure to drive through the front window of your nearest car dealership"... and then people started doing that, we would have a different attitude about them.
The only problem with that whole discussion is that nobody uses guns anymore.

The lessons of vietnam you cite really aren't as you claim. The gun was never the issue -- really poor missiles may have been. Better missiles fixed the problem, not the gun.
There is one other factor here along with the cost of pilot training, and that is maintenance. The F-22 (like the B-2 and F-117) was originally a beast to maintain. The RAM coatings had to be reapplied with extreme precision, along with RAM tape along seams. At first this was a manual process, then mechanized, but still expensive in terms of money and downtime for the aircraft. The one really good thing to come out of the F-35 program has been fiber mat RAM. No need to reapply paint and tape, the RAM is integrated into body panels.

Of course this should have been applied along with improved 3D thrust vectoring to a new block of F-22’s, but that doesn’t satisfy the Military Industrial Complex’s desire for endless money, and congresses insatiable need for pork barrel projects. Plus you have the usual pissing contests and budget infighting between services, all of whom basically want their own customized air force.
I don't remember anything specifically but I do seem to remember that it wasn't any one particular thing. If it was immediately pre-ictal I wouldn't have been likely to remember at all. I had two generalized seizures before I made it to my neuro and started Depakote (bad stuff) and then just had complex partial seizures. I'd just zone out for a half a minute or so with no memory of that time. There were times that I was walking down the street with coworkers, had a seizure and dropped my lunch and just kept walking along the whole time.
Unfortunately, "reading unencrypted data" repeatedly enough can turn into "burning the battery out" which is a denial-of-service attack.

Yeah the data marshaling is definitely a big topic. For now you have to just http.Get() stuff from the wasm code to an API on a server. No doubt some solutions with a lot less boilerplate would be really handy.

Your medium post is not directly related to what I was referring to in my first comment. Yes, bad actors game the recommendation algorithms to troll people. That's what Elsagate was about. People deliberately making channels and videos that would appear as and presumably get recommended as kid friendly content when it was actually shock content. I'm well aware that recommendation algorithms can be abused. Perhaps I should have more strongly emphasized that my examples are presented in a very simplified scenario, that is limited to the alleged political rabbit hole and not things like Elsagate.

The point I am making is that pointing out the fact that it's possible to get to the extremes of YouTube by clicking through on recommended videos shouldn't be surprising. In fact, of you couldn't so that it would be evidence of deliberately trying to keep certain content from being popular.

The question of how well YouTube polices it's terms of service (which already does prohibit hate speech) is related to this question about the alleged rabbit hole because such content presumably exists at the edge of my hypothetical political spectrum values. But it's not directly related to the fact that clicking through on recommended links can bring people to 1 and 10 even if they start at 5 should not be surprising.
Well, Sparrow had problems of its own, namely absolutely dismal reliability and the need to maintain continuous radar lock on the target during the missile's entire flight time (e.g. no "fire and forget" capability). But that doesn't invalidate your broader point about dogfights being more likely under restrictive RoE.

The thing is though, if history is any indication, wars so total as to have completely permissive RoEs aren't the wars that we actually ever fight. Even if you imagine a war with a full-on peer competitor like Russia or China, it's not hard to imagine scenarios where RoEs are restricted in an effort to keep the scope of the conflict from widening -- an important consideration when both sides have nuclear weapons!

So I think the general point still stands. If the balloon ever goes up on World War III, we probably won't see a lot of dogfighting. But there's a whole spectrum of conflicts underneath that, and building an air force entirely around fighters that can't handle the rest of that spectrum at least competently is going to be a problem.
I made a tent out of those plastic "SOL" emergency blankets that heats up inside via solar or a small campfire. You can dry out clothes pretty fast with it.

I know you can't have campfires out west, but I live in the Ozarks where forest fires are not an issue most of the time and it's easy to check the fire risk at https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/fire_wx/fwdy1.html

So, the reason I bring this up is it's pretty easy to fashion a UL clothes dryer if you carry one of those blankets, a bit of clear plastic, and some tape.

Here's a link to a very short video of the tent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdekfNtx65c

> From what I've heard from everyone everywhere on HN, banks are willing to give you a loan knowing you have a lot of stock in a big tech IPO

That could have gotten me in trouble when I was younger. I had startup stock that traded at $50+ on the day of the IPO. When the lockup ended, the stock was trading at $12. At the time, I more likely to think the stock was going to $1200, not $12. I'd likely have ended up owing a bunch of money I couldn't pay off AND a big tax liability.

If I were in that situation today, I'd see if I could find someone who would give me money at today's price and get N shares of stock in 6 months (the duration of the lockup period).
Which assumption is wrong? Employee #1 @ 1% equity is very common. You very quickly get into .5% and .1% after just a few employees.
I guess what I meant was, most software projects eventually reach a point where they have to be burned down and rebuilt (or simply deprecated in favor of a younger project). Depending on the quality of the engineering it could be 5 years or 25, but it feels like an inevitability. These single-purpose GNU tools seem to be free of that phenomenon.

Recommendations, and autoplaying videos in particular based on them, clearly drive growth and profits. But they are clearly the crux of the problem.

Sure, defining harm is not straightforward. But it's possible, and frankly as a private platform, it is their choice.

One could, for example, take a broader definition of harm, and use that to limit recommendations, but still host the video and allow it to return in search results. Is this the right answer? I don't know. But it's silly to just throw up your hands and somehow take recommendations as some sacrosanct part of the system, when it was clearly a choice to have them to begin with.

I'd be interested in seeing data about what the average ecological impact of buying Apple products.

I used to be of the opinion that as long as you recycled, everything was just fine, but the recent recycling horror stories about sorting and costs have made me more reconsider that. Apple has (insofar as I can tell) an excellent recycling program, but realistically speaking, is a good recycling program enough? I don't know how it balances against:

A) increased consumption rates (your airpods are basically guaranteed to need replacing in 2 years max).

B) the limited number of consumers that are actually going to the trouble to send airpods back in to get recycled instead of throwing them in the garbage bin.

This is something I'd be interested in reading more about.
