From what I've heard, one of the problems here is that Windows 10's support of parallel ports (widely used in automation) is really bad, and there's no way that live updates are going to be acceptable on something that needs to be running 24/7. What ways are there to properly air-gap something like this?

>No re-training of pilots: Pilots were not aware of new ways in which the plane might take command away from them, and were left in the dark with only seconds to react to a deadly situation

Both the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air flights recovered from the initial MCAS. The mistake was assuming that pilots could reliably recover from a runaway trim situation. That might have been true when that was a more common failure and when pilots had more experience flying with manual trim.

My main goal is to improve our development process. I understand everyone is different and has their own ways, but if somebody doesn't use a tool at its full potential then in the end company/team loses, because instead of improving things, people fight/use less efficient process.

In this case I think TDD or a version of TDD acceptable to the team can really speed up development. I want that feeling if I run all the tests I can deploy.

You have that backwards. It's applications that are less than trustworthy. That's why we try to sandbox them.

As for the DHCP part, if you're on a public network you should only trust it as far as you need it to bootstrap your tunnel over which you can then finally contact a trusted resolver.

OS resolver -> a single thing you need to secure
every app uses its own resolver -> complete mess which makes it harder to ensure privacy of your traffic

You hire elite talent by competing in the talent marketplace with compensation and opportunity.

If I can go to FB/Goog and pull down ~350k+ a year, why should I come work for you? You need to have a really good answer or something that is differentiating/compelling enough.

Either that or you'll have to be comfortable settling for lower quality talent and the associated consequences - it becomes a strategy question at that point.
That's a really interesting question. (And you did say "graviton particles or gravity waves" in your first post, and I missed that.)

At first glance, I think that the gravity information can't escape from inside the event horizon, just like light can't. That means that the event horizon describes a frozen version of the mass inside it, not a current "live" version.

And that seems to work, if you think about gravity waves. There aren't any changes to the gravitational field coming out from inside the event horizon. But it doesn't work so well if you think about gravitons. "There aren't any gravitons coming out" should be equivalent to "flat worldlines", which is very much not true just outside the event horizon.

It also doesn't seem to work for a situation like a black hole merger. The spacetime outside the event horizon is this frozen snapshot, but it can still do this spiral around this other black hole? That doesn't seem to make a ton of sense.

So I'm not sure my answer is very good. But it's a fascinating question. If anyone has a real answer, I'd love to hear it.
It probably depends on Web Bluetooth, which Firefox doesn't yet support, see

Interesting view. With respect to the news industry: the TV format seems to have evolved. Have you seen HBO's Last Week Tonight? In a half-hour, John Oliver (and his writing team) recap the key news in 5-6 minutes and then finish by investigating one topic in depth. That is quite a model. It looks like shows similar to this are being made now, such as Netflix's Patriot Act.

But the print industry hasn't changed much. I wonder how they will evolve?

There is only one version of Org-Mode, with its own reference implementation, and it's been that way for years.

>I'm assuming all of the variations of Markdown that were created were created without knowledge of the original Markdown creator.

Not so. Daring Fireball was repeatedly asked to participate in advancing, changing, standardizing MD, but chose not to. He was well aware of the variants emerging.

That's not how reference implementations work. The only thing that matters are variants that get enough traction.
Just by sharing the news he is working with them helping the global effort.
I think what you're hoping for is a more exhaustive survey of what black holes are theorized to look like, with different possibilities. Is that right?

The problem here is your expectation does not match the product. It's like you went to a car dealer and are upset they didn't sell you an airplane.

It isn't surprising to me that Derek focuses on one form, since Veritassium is providing content for the armchair consumer, that he chooses what he believes to be the best model and presents that. This isn't a PhD defense, after all, it's just a timely video so that folks can appreciate the image that the EHT group has released (is going to release, at the time of Veritassium's video.)

Did you have some other models in mind?

Interesting to me is that Veritassium's presented model doesn't explain the corona-like features, nor any attempt at explaining the "blobs" although he does say that blobs would be exiting to see. And there they are! What fun.
I wasn’t arguing that fonts are more or less complex than photos, but that from the perspective of implementation and/or copyright, fonts are more like photos (which are implicitly under copyright in the U.S.) than the subject of a photo (like, say, a pasture, a person or a horse).

In other words, a font is the specific representation of the concept, idea and qualities that define a typeface, as a photo is a representation of the qualities of its subject.
>The implicit yield points you're talking about is sleep or wait (noop in other terms)

Isn’t sleep() usually defined as not giving up control? It’s semantically a busyspin for n seconds. That is, it’s explicitly not a yield point; it's a blocking call, and it doesn’t give control back to scheduler.

And isn't wait() usually defined as, semantically, a non-blocking spinloop with a condition (hence notify() or poll())?

Which makes sleep(), wait(), yield() and noops very different.

I suppose in go, if yield() is implicit on any function call, then sleep() will immediately call yield() before actually sleeping (but once started, it’ll hold control until finished)

I'm pretty sure the implicit yield points are actually yield(), though I haven't verified; it's the only one of the sleep/wait/yield semantics that would be sensible to be implicit as far as I can tell.

>It's also not exactly a yield, it calls the scheduler to tell it to schedule

As far as I was aware, thats exactly what yield means; it yields execution control back to the scheduler. I suppose in eg, a generator, it yields control back to the caller, but afaik thats fundamentally the same meaning (the caller is the scheduler). Can you expand?

>Finally, goroutines are not just cooperative, they also run in parallel in a pool of threads.

Sure, but is that relevant? I assume async.core also trivially supports thread pooling, and is presumably equivalent to go’s pool. The only real difference is go implicitly instiates the pool, while core.async presumably makes it an explicit function to call
Yeah I don't see how this is any different from the standard Google Authenticator style affair.

GL specs are generally quite accurate, now that there are real conformance tests for implementations.

It’s so disingenuous for Google to brand these efforts as “democratizing AI.” It is precisely the opposite.

This is classic commoditization of your complement. On one hand, Google is pushing to centralize the integration, data management and computing platforms for machine learning, so that these things become as much of a commodity as possible.

On the other side, they are offering massive compensation packages or acqui-hiring as much AI talent as they can, not really because they have useful work for these folks to do, but to artificially reduce the supply of statistical algorithm talent, making their consulting and pre-packaged AI solutions go up in value in a manner that is pretty much the same as De Beers pushing silos full of diamonds to keep diamond prices artificially high.

This is very much the opposite of democratization, and my advice to anyone considering services like this or like Amazon’s out of the box models, don’t do it!

If you think it’s going to save you money over paying competitively to get your own in-house machine learning staff, you’re wrong, and you’re going to waste probably hundreds of thousands of dollars before you learn you’re wrong.
Agreed. College has become just another high-priced consumer good. And universities are happy to act just like day care if it means more happy, paying customers.
The point of democracy is to prevent a minority of society from dictating the rules to the majority by excluding it from governance. It doesn't necessarily imply that individuals or small groups have almost no say in governance, especially on matters where they're uniquely affected.

Assuming that there are many software subsystems that need angle of attack input, it shouldn't be the responsibility of every one of those systems to try and determine if they are receiving bad input from the AOA indicator. Rather, there should be one angle of attack (AOA) sensing software system which feeds AOA data into all the other dependent systems. If the AOA sensing software system cannot determine a reliable value, then it should feed a value of "I don't know" to the downstream subsystems.

Then, all possible expertise about how to determine if the AOA input is valid (and I'm sure there are many, many, such factors, redundant physical sensors being just one) can be directed to that one AOA sensing system.

If MCAS gets an input of "I don't know" from the AOA sensing system, then clearly it is going to disable itself. So, a complex decision has been turned into a very simple one.

If you agree with me, then this is a really important example of why separation of concerns is so important.

People have tried playing exceedingly dirty in the past - colonial powers, especially. It doesn't usually work. Ultimately, unless you're willing to build your own infrastructure, you need to rely on local infrastructure. That requires supporters who won't try and sabotage you at every turn, and report everything you do to the enemy. Building your own infrastructure takes lots of people, money, and time. Successful asymmetric warfare works exactly the opposite way to killing all your enemies - it works by taking a group of your enemies, then convincing them you're the better bet.

We have a good coverage, but we don't have that feeling that after running all tests we can release. Currently each dev decides how much tests to write, but usually after the fact to make sure whatever he wrote behaves as expected, at that time.

From the article:

> all of the problems could potentially have been avoided by changing [code-snippet]

IMO, this implies the problem was a simple, single software problem. Firstly, that's in inaccurate assumption. Secondly, even if that assumption wasn't implied, one can't just say 'ooh, modify this if statement' with any authority because one does't know what the underlying algorithm looks like in the first place.

> The system as implemented could not have a "re-command full-nose down after reset".

For brevity, my comment lacked certain detail. The MCAS system was reset after pilots used the trim switches on the column. However, the MCAS did not account for this, and it's overall authority was allowed to point the plane full nose-down. See [1].

> In my view when a seemingly largely self-regulated group goes off and designs something with so many glaring issues

This is the point I'm mostly trying to make. When I read a column or comment that says "Oh, it was just the sensors" or "Oh, it was just the simple software problem," that's really helping Boeing's narrative. It's not just a simple mistake, it's a total failure of Boeing and regulators and cannot be understated.
