There were two experienced pilots in Lion Air 610.

In the case where prescribed procedures are followed, and don't work well enough (i.e. you're still stuck in a bad situation that continues to degrade), you're basically asking for experience to manufacturer an alternative on the spot. That's rather like a Hail Mary pass, in terms of logic. It's a 'well maybe maybe not'.

I'm not sure how that progresses the conversation, and yet people on HN keep bringing this up as if it's relevant without actually showing any new dots let alone connecting them. Setting aside hard evidence proving experience is a factor, you don't even have a hypothesis of how it might be a factor.

He had only 200 hours of flight time. Well so fucking what? You have to make the case. It doesn't make its own case. The reason why the U.S. has a higher regulatory requirement for experience is because of Colgan Air 3407, in part, even though the experienced pilot in command showed the same incorrect response to stall warning as the second in command, both of which were contrary to training, and also the training itself was inadequate.

I've got quite a lot more total time experience than the second in command of the Ethiopian airlines pilot. I can't tell you with any meaningful certainty I would have done anything different.

I'd say my life experience is more relevant than my flight hours experience. And my life experience when encountering either human or computer confusion at only 1000 feet above the ground, is to consider it somewhere between incompetency and sabotage. I would not be diagnosing that shit either way, I'd disconnect all of it.

And I would be irate at discovering a form of autopilot (MCAS is a safeguard, or control law) that I was not previously informed of by either my airline, or regulator, or the airplane manufacturer. And in fact, U.S. pilots are pissed at exactly that. Including or even in particular the ones with 1500+ hours.
At 05:43:20, approximately five seconds after the last manual electric trim input, an AND automatic trim command occurred and the stabilizer moved in the AND direction from 2.3 to 1.0 unit in approximately 5 seconds. The aircraft began pitching nose down. Additional simultaneous aft column force was applied, but the nose down pitch continues, eventually reaching 40° nose down. The stabilizer position varied between 1.1 and 0.8 units for the remainder of the recording.

It seems they tried it but MCAS kicked 5 seconds after they turned on the electrical trim. They didn't have enough time to correct the stabilizer. I don't know how fast returning a stabilizer to neutral position can be done, but they probably thought they had more than 5 seconds. They were probably going to turn off electronic trim control afterwards.
The US has overwhelming technological advantages over China, breakthroughs in AI still largely come from the US. China has more data and state support though.
This is reminiscent of how some scientific papers are written. You might be able to pick up some tips from those processes as well. For example:

- Write each sentence on a different line.

This allows for better change tracking, commentary etc in a number of tools including github.

- Inline sources and compile into a references section.

I want to see that a claim is backed by more than one piece of supporting work whenever possible.

- Have a compiled / formatted version for holistic evaluation.

After you've done the hard work of writing factual statements the piece also needs to be readable. This is an orthogonal view into the same information however and should be presented as such.
I understand your point, but let's dispel the myth of dangerous sharks. The vast majority of shark species never attack humans at all and it's totally safe to swim near them.
However Taiwan, Korea, and Japan all did this without pissing everyone off.

I don't know if this is exactly what you were thinking of, but Epic Games is using Trello to visualize their work on their store. They are well behind their competitors, so this is a way to show people that needed features are on the way.

What's the problem with that sentence? People speak to the press off the record all the time; it's part of the process. Unless the NYT doesn't actually have these sources, there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, all we have for proof is their reputation as a newspaper for integrity, and the word of any reporters involved, but reporters have often gone to jail rather than reveal anonymous sources.
Another data-point is that I literally just went to talk by a researcher from Toyota's self-driving car group and they 1) mentioned some OTA updates they made on their auto-pilot features in the last several months. 2) talked about their data collection efforts from production cars- order of petabytes/day

I don't know much about subaru but other companies are definitely integrating advanced driver assist features/updates. No idea how they compare to Tesla's and in frequency of improvements but this is definitely a thing other companies are working on.
2 scenarios: one is to run the app and push metrics and logs in real time. the other is to use external storage (a drive, nas or directly w/ the cloud like for eg S3)
How long did you smoke?

My own anecdote:

I was athletic when I was younger, but I was a regular smoker through most of my twenties.

I quit a few years back. My doctor would check my breathing, etc, with everything I'd told him about my habit. He gave me the surprising news that my lungs would be virtually back to virgin health in 4-5 years (after nearly 10 years of smoking). And to get back to exercising more.
this video[0] from "mentour pilot" on youtube explains the stabilizer system quite well.

it seems the trim wheels are connected manually to the trim mechanism in the back, but when the trim stabilizers are in an extreme position the wind loading on them makes it very hard/impossible to rotate the trim wheels manually.

from what i understand, one way to relieve/lessen the wind loading so that the manual wheels can be used again is to (in the case of trim down) dive the plane. this would lessen the wind loading on the stabilizer and allow the manual wheels to move again. but you would need "room" to dive, something they did not have in this case.

Everything old is new again! There's a little bit of an iframe renaissance happening, because even though iframes are a blunt instrument for combining content from different origins, they also have some really desirable features.

Cross-origin iframes are completely sandboxed, they can be styled quite nicely as transparent overlays with css, and they are supported on all browsers (including mobile).

Stripe Checkout uses iframes (in a super-nice, completely invisible) way. Intercom Messenger runs in (multiple, nested) iframes.

Our startup makes an in-browser video calling product and last year we started seeing people hacking together "embedded" video calling by wrapping our call pages in iframes. We thought, "that's cool!" and launched a full API to support this growing set of use cases. [0]

These days, if you want to combine interactive functionality on a web site, from multiple origins, you have several pretty good choices with different trade-offs: loading and using javascript libraries right in your DOM context, iframes, and (for patching in functionality at the user-level) Chrome extensions.

Here's to asymptotically approaching the Project Xanadu feature set. [1]

They did this decades ago, and without time for the US to react. Also the US shaped Japan’s government so it’s difficult to criticize them due to competition.
Not necessarily. You don't have to lie during the recruitment/interview. If you get in you get in. And you can resign when they ask you to do something you feel you should not participate in.

Simply trying to get in to be on the inside - without lying, is better than not even trying.

Of course, trying to advocate for better political control (privacy, transparency, lower barriers to enter the market) is important, and can and should be done while trying to engage with FB, trying to get close to their internal decision making process.

And, naturally, not everyone has the affinity to work at FB, but since it's a spectrum, likely there are a lot of software engineers that do have some ethical concern with regards to what and how FB does, and they shouldn't be discouraged from working at FB, but they should be very much empowered to be able to stand up and leave when their moral compass signals.
While it is true that there is plenty of uncertainty regarding the value of finding DCIS, it is well established that there is significant benefit to finding small invasive breast cancers such as invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma. The value is particularly significant if the lesions are found before exceeding 1 cm in size, which they often are nowadays. The paper sited refers to one study focused on DCIS and another Canadian study on breast cancer screening during the 1980's and 1990's before there were good mammography screening standards. The Canadian study essentially just showed that poor screening is of limited value.
Smart contracts on public blockchains solve this by committing coins to the contract. In effect the contract is an escrow facility in which the coins are locked up until the contract terminates.

The advantage of e.g. Ethereum blockchains is that defaults don't happen the assets are held by the contract. The drawback is that your assets are locked up for the duration of the contract, which is completely incompatible with how wholesale finance operates.

DAML's genesis was in solving this problem on private ledgers used for mediating inter-party value exchange of off-ledger assets (like dollars). To do that, rather than having an account or asset focus, it's built around the notion of rights, obligations, and enforcing a legally-compatible approach to contractual consent.

That is so that, when a "workflow" (e.g. your LIBOR swap) terminates, DAML provides a fully audited record of all the parties' agreement to be bound by the terms and consequences of the workflow itself. All being well there's an exchange of assets off-ledger. If things turn out badly, you go to court and the default is worked out with the backing of a rock-solid audit trail of affirmation (instead of a loose-leaf binder of printed emails and a dog-eared ISDA agreement.)

Everyone seems to ignore the trouble China has with terrorists in this region. Plane hijackings, mass killings, suicide bombings. I think that you have to view what's happening in the context of the violent terrorist attacks that have occurred.
That's amazing! I will look into their methodologies more. Thanks!
It's reasonable that someone can forcibly extract 35 billion dollars for being married to someone?
You are correct. S-expressions are a serialization format for trees and lambda calculus is a computational formalism. There is no inherent connection between them. You can have either one without the other.

However, the two together make a really magical combination because each one is a sort of local maximum in its respective design space.
Excellent example- it will be interesting to see if they win their defamation lawsuits against CNN and the Washington Post.

All rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt.
The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate
in the sandbox of political correctness and value systems.

>Rose: Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum.
They stay inside their little ponds,

>Colonel: The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh.
No one is invalidated, but nobody is right.

>Rose: Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in "truth."
Not that it's desirable, but maybe they could (de)prioritize internet traffic at the infrastructure level from specific phone manufacturers now that internet neutrality isn't a thing anymore.
I agree with eatbitseveryday and don't think that this should have been downvoted. I've tried to learn some of the more esoteric concepts in computer science (like monads, and ycombinators for that matter) but eventually forget how they work each time.

Personally, I think that monads are a sore spot for functional programmers, because they are the crux of why FP runs into difficulties in the real world when dealing with things like mutable state, side effects and logic that happens over multiple steps (imperatively).

Here is a relatively nontechnical discussion about how monads bridge functional and imperative programming, by treating IO sort of like an imaginary number that can be passed along as a black box until it can finally be computed:

The problem with that from what I've heard is that private industry really loves the float on that 3+ day transfer window.
You're not going to save it to start a business. You're just going to spend it on rent, products from China and a car loan. Don't pretend your socioeconomic class is better than that.
I'm not sure if you're filling out the 1040EZ or what, but some of us have investments with things like dividends and cost bases and small businesses, properties, etc.

Not that I believe the tax could can't be simplified, but I'm just saying, I've fired accountants that failed to understand the complexity of my particular tax situation, so getting some kind pre-filled form from the IRS to "amend" sounds pretty naive to me.

I think perhaps the question really lies around the level of extraction and how that has to be reduced.
> Japan caught up and surpassed the US without the corporate espionage or subsequent commerce war.

No, Japanese corporate espionage against US firms, Japanese transfers of sensitive US-origin technology to regimes the US wanted it kept away from, and a US-Japan trade war are all things that happened and were notable news items during the Japanese run up.

This despite the US and Japan being geopolitical allies at the times involved.
Right, which we need to stop using? like yesterday.
It looks like your "perfect multilingual console" here rubbed people the wrong way—the Arabic ligatures are a straightforward counterexample. You got something that's helpful for working in a multilingual environment if you don't intend to read text in other languages but only to refer to it or recognize what it is. So I'd say that in a few cases that don't involve reading and writing or typography, this is potentially more useful, but it's important to be able to draw the distinction!

For example, it's helpful for being able to say "the Arabic name for the Arabic language is spelled ة-ي-ب-ر-ع-ل-ا, alif-lam-ayn-ray-baa-yaa-taa marbuta". But if you want to have an Arabic speaker read it as a word, it ought to be written "العربية" (RTL with ligatures). Your terminal environment is good for the former but not the latter.
Maybe. It forces me to take 30 minute breaks every 3-3.5 hours, which I have found far more enjoyable than what I did in my gasoline car (drive for 10 hours with only one five minute break).

I quite like stopping at Tesla charging stations. They're generally in shopping areas with food and WiFi, and you can talk to other Tesla owners. It is like a new philosophy of traveling for me :)
Congratulations. You must be so proud of your seniors.

Unfortunately, many seniors physically can't walk long distances. The fact that you don't personally know them doesn't mean they don't exist.
That's how I have seen it used in practice.
This story is at least 10 years late. E-Sports has been like this for a very long time.

E-Sport athletes have been training physically for a while now. Not sure why the nytimes is trying to play it off like it is a recent phenomenon.
Compilation time is the other potential issue, although it's hard to predict it.
My Dad bought us an IBM PCjr with 256KB of RAM, which was kind of elite in 1984.

But he wanted more. So, he purchased a pair of thick memory expansion board that brought it up to an unheard-of 640KB of RAM.

Of course, these slabs generated an impressive amount of heat, so we had to set up a series of cooling fans, or else computations would go awry and weird bugs would appear in programs as it overheated.

It had all manner of strange behaviors, and IBM engineers on the support contract would dutifully visit and give us stacks of floppies containing custom builds of MS-DOS to try and help us out when he called about problems with his mods.

Today, incidentally, I’m a sysadmin.

That doesn't kill dead locked processes, or processes that aren't listening on the management IF. You see this with services that can't be "sc stop"ed.
Okay, it might not hold, that it's the best place to try to exert change, but it's undeniably a channel of interaction. Not exploiting it leads to less change.
I'm not sure what you mean by "exceedingly," but:

> Overall, 10 percent to 15 percent of lung cancers occur in non-smokers. (Another 50 percent occur in former smokers.)

> Two-thirds of the non-smokers who get lung cancer are women, and 20 percent of lung cancers in women occur in individuals who have never smoked. This percentage is significantly higher in Asian women.

https://www.verywellhealth.com/lung-cancer-in-non-smokers-22...

As for the smokers, they generally pay higher health insurance premiums so at least they're contributing their share of resources.
For the same reason we attempt to rehabilitate other types of drug addicts; they're still people with families and friends who want them alive for as long as possible. There are many societal constructs which are intended to help people who made poor choices.

I think it's a legitimate question though. I started smoking when I was 9, pack a day by 16.
I wonder if there's a market in medical education for precise models of different body parts with one-click ordering from model->3D production->shipping to your education facility. This is distinct from the efforts of facilities who are using 3D manufacturing to create patient models on site for surgery planning.
I'd be really interested to hear some of your techniques for finding these interesting things in the actual archive. How do you find stuff, do you have to know what your looking for and search by exact text match?
Lung capacity can only be improved a little bit with training (we're talking 5-10% range) and it's a poor indicator of your fitness level. Either you have a genetically larger lung capacity than your brother and dad, or you are simply better at filling your lungs to their full capacity.
VO2MAX has nothing to do with lung capacity (if you're healthy)
The relational model is awesome. SQL is one of the worst languages I have ever encountered. The syntax is awkward and unwieldy. The only unit of abstraction in SQL the language is the VIEW. I end up with so many repeated patterns in SQL it's mind numbing.

I would love to see lisp-style (AST) macros applied to the relational model. Here's an example that might have an obvious solution (please share), but not off the top of my head. Find the id of every row having the minimum value per group by aggregation. I have to write a subquery to do this, but the transformation is quite regular and predictable. Where's my macro?
> Instruct the IRS to coordinate with the Treasury to prepare a report on federal spending, and send each taxpayer a rundown of the actual amount of their taxes that went to each major spending area (e.g., domestic programs, foreign aid, military, etc).

I think this is outstanding. I'd love to know how my tax dollars are spent, and I think once people see this they can begin to push for meaningful reforms that they feel spends they money more effectively.
Code review assignments are so much better than coding assignments that for me it's a great sign that your hiring sucks if you haven't switched to them.

If you do a large coding assignment you have to leave the time frame rather open ended to assist candidates that have limited free time. Instead this forces every candidate to spend as much time as possible to get noticed, having an opposite effect. There is no obvious solution to that apart from doing short timed assignments.

But what is even more important, a code review can be tailored to provide the same information on technical expertise, has a more natural effort limit and more importantly, it actually tells you about how that person will act as a coworker.

Will they even explain their work? Will they provide reasonable feedback, and will their way of explaining their thoughts in written word be detailed enough to guide people through?

Not only are code reviews, for myself, essentially part of the documentation of the code base itself, but they are also a very important communication channel. And how one communicates with others through it is a great proxy about how they will handle the rest of their communication.

I've never worked with an engineer that was considerate, kind and detailed (with a focus on being understood) in their review comments or presentation, who turned out to be an asshole when interacting with through other channels.
Blergh. RFC 4256, which I'd guess is what you're thinking about, aka keyboard-interactive - is completely unsuitable for this purpose and certainly wasn't "specifically designed" for it.

In fact RFC 4256 pretty much spells out what it's for, it lets you use PAM to augment your authentication policies by changing what the remote user types into their console. You can add a One Time Password check or whatever.

It is full of requirements like "A command line interface (CLI) client SHOULD print the name and instruction (if non-empty), adding newlines" which have nothing whatsoever to do with the actual problem for Security Keys.

Of course you could _add_ a new SSH authentication method, but the existing RFC 4256 "challenge-response" approach is completely inappropriate.
That photo is priceless.
