>ML is mainly just going to become automated p-hacking, and bring about a dark age to much of science

It is already happening. A lot of people who can contribute to actual Science are moving into AI/ML field for the money and the industry/media hype are reinforcing this. Everything is "Deep${NONSENSE}" nowadays whether it is relevant or not. As a beginner, when i started to learn NNs, i couldn't get past my initial hurdle on how to validate the results on actual real-world data. What Statistical metrics do i use to "know" that the blackbox is working correctly? What are the assumptions and limitations that i need to be aware of to understand and have faith in the output? Most people don't seem to know or care; it is "magic" to them. In a world awash with data, reckless application of NN models to any and every problem is only going to drown us in spurious results and muddying all Scientific endeavours.
With all the attention on this plane and the resources Boeing has, they really should have caught this before the FAA.

Every time I open the UI for the Ubiquiti UniFi console in Safari it complains that Safari may not work correctly and suggest Firefox or Chrome. Every time I curse at it, ignore it and have had no issues. The simplest way for me to not do want you ask is for you to tell me best viewed in X. If it does it working in Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Edge, then £#&$*=+&$% you. Do your job and test on the major platforms. My current company has a web UI and I make it a point when using the product to open it in a different major browsers each time I touch it. If there is an issue I file a Jira ASAP vs the UI team.

Okay I know this is about the Firefox security bug, but just a general rant anyways.
There are several reasons why you might not want to bother trying. I just bought a new video card so I went through this recently.

- It's possible that X->Z adapters are rare/discontinued/nonexistent/whatever, so you need to stack X->Y + Y->Z. If the adapters are active, now you need 2 more power supplies (or USB ports) just to run each display.

- There's many combinations of stacked adapters that don't work together, for various reasons, so this can involve a lot of research, and a bit of luck.

- Even if it basically works, it's common that not all features of every protocol are supported by every other protocol. I can control the brightness of one display from software (it runs directly over DVI), but not my other display (which runs over a DP->DVI adapter).

- It's also common that a lot of adapters just don't work. I've got an active adapter here that the manufacturer and retailer both swear supports dual-link DVI, but it doesn't. I eventually found a review online from someone who tore it apart and looked up the specs on the chip inside. It only supports single-link resolution. Bogus.

- There's also many passive DP->DVI adapters which claim to support dual-link, even though this is (apparently) electronically impossible. More lies.

- I have what seems to be the only working DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter, and it wasn't cheap (>$100). It also takes several seconds to wake up, and during that time it displays static and noise and off-color versions of my desktop. It's not the most pleasant experience.

- Newer displays are much less power-hungry than older models, so if you pay for electricity and have your displays on a lot, it's definitely cheaper to just upgrade that.

- I've also tried to convert (single-link) DVI-D to HDMI. Apparently it should be just a physical adapter, as the signals are electronically compatible in that direction. For two devices I have, when run at 1080p, the picture comes out horribly distorted. Each device supports 1080p, but when connected in this particular way, it's unwatchable. No idea why.

Any time you have to convert formats, there's potential for trouble. That's why I'm not optimistic about the new USB-C/Thunderbolt world of "we'll just encapsulate every other protocol in the world". When I've got devices and adapters strung together and it doesn't work, who do I call for support? One of Norvig's rules from PAIP was "Whenever you develop a complex data structure, develop a corresponding consistency checker". I wish I had test equipment for every port type in my house, but I don't, and that's not feasible for most people.
I wouldn't say the 737 MAX is nothing like the 737 NG, they're quite a lot alike in important ways, but there are clearly significant differences. And there should be an aggressively adversarial system to determine whether the difference is significant enough to warrant a separate type certification for the MAX variant.

I'm not at all amazed by Boeing's blatant deception and blame shifting. They've done this before, and with this same model of aircraft.

I'd like to add. I think the 'open society' mentioned is simply not an opposite to 'closed society'. Imo, there is a big spectrum to how closed or open a society is.

How open a society is, are efforts mostly paid in blood by the plebians. Those who look down on others and want control are the ones who probably makes society more 'closed'.

Money is only a tool. A way to facilitate immoral exchange of earth's finite resources + human labour.

My leftist ideals would say, we shouldn't deny a fellow human access to food or a vacation just because he doesn't have anything in exchanges. Especially today that we have a problem of overbundance, and we are not even optimizing our production, but for profit.

The Anthropologist David Greaber in his book, we can observe this human compassion when in the park when some stranger kid is in danger, maybe drowning, we do not hesitate for a sec to help out, and we don't ask for anything in return.
After finding out Firefox monetized its new tab page with sponsored Pocket ads[1], I'm not too thrilled about it. Firefox collects plenty of telemetry data too and it's unclear whether or not they use it for their pockets ads. With past scandals from Firefox, I'm would not be surprised if they do.

I'd take a lot of extra thickness. I had a cleanout of old tech recently and found an 10" HP laptop I hadn't used for a few years and fighting the nostalgia to get rid of that one was hard. It was such a solid, thick and chunky little thing that I could put through hell and would just keep on working. It was just perfect for it's job of mostly coding during commute time. I don't feel remotely the same way about the thinner, faster dell I replaced it with.
They aren't. The brave ads appear as a system notification at fixed intervals whether or not you're browsing. They're as disconnected from your browsing activity as they could possibly be.

The only connection is that your browsing activity determines how much each content provider is owed.

The Vx meter uses Barium-133.

I think tracerco uses cesium. However they are really small amount, but because its nuclear stuff you have to get a bunch of permits and stuff.
If 100% of US power was wind, turbines would still not be the #1 bird killer.

Can you point out the new hydro plants that we can build?

As a California resident, I'm happy that the state isn't spending extra to buy nuclear.

Whether it was intentional to meet the schedule or accidental, we may never know.
It's a culture problem. You need to fix the culture to fix the root causes of all of this. And listening to the CEO (who is the culture) doesn't seem they want to fix it.

When doing root cause analysis there is a pyramid with people problems at the top, then deeper technical problems, process problems, culture problems and value problems.

Most root cause analysis stops with people problems, or technical problems while all the root cause analysis I've done never showed that problems end there. Culture and value have often been the underlying causes.
But they're mostly wouldn't pay in ads either. The difference may be pay-for-ad-free vs adblock-and-no-money rather than getting more ad views.
Just an update: I realize I use async ib_insync all the time haha.
That makes me doubt the severity of this issue slightly. Maybe the FAA is pointing out a relatively minor issue to rebuild trust, and Boeing isn't in the position to disagree, or even say it's minor, so they're acquiescing.
Go community is big, divided, and has completely different opinions on "exceptions in Go", covering "we have exceptions already, it is called panic()" to "exceptions are evil"

Oh, and by the way agreeing on what an exception IS brings whole another dimension into this discussion too.

So, I would go as far as "Go community hates them". People have asked for them more than once. No, we did not get them.
Depends what you mean by things. A lot of kids fancy themselves as YouTube celebs, creating video content. Sharing photos is also creative.
Yes and no. With a shrinking population, the jobs you end up wanting to automate the most are related to elderly care in a lot of cases (see: Japan), which is fairly difficult for robots/computers in comparison to factory line operations, cashiers, etc. The other issue is that the timescales don't necessarily match up. It's a pretty safe bet that improvements in robotics, computer vision, machine learning, etc. will outpace the decline in population in most countries, so the net result still stands.

Ideally you would like the iframe to not be visible -- you don't want it to show scrollbars if the content overflows.

But at the same time, you want to see all the content in the iframe. If you knew ahead of time exactly the layout of the text in the iframe you could do this, but it's harder when you have dynamically generated content inserted into the iframe, and now add to that wanting the page to be on different devices with different viewports, resolutions, users resizing the page, users increasing or decreasing text sizes for accessibility or changing default fonts.

And if you don't control the content, some of it may contain fixed size elements or absolute positioning inside the frame.

It's a really difficult problem that we were struggling with before ultimately giving up on trying to use iframes for this purpose. And when you make a mistake you either get ugly scrollbars in your iframe or part of your content is cut off when the user resizes the page.
If you work in a place where there is not enough funding for your job to do it safely and people may day, you need to walk away.
Way to transcribe an interview without having to do shit
Ask HN: Do you feel dumb sometimes?
Yesterday I was reviewing the formal definition of a limit (epsilon, delta), and it took me like 25 minutes to understand it.

I understand the intuitive concept of a limit quite well, but the formal definition never clicked for me when I first learned it years ago. Yesterday I didn't feel the click either, it felt more like a forcing my intuitive understanding into the definition. I still don't feel satisfied about it.

When I learned to program, I got used to things clicking quite easily, it made me feel smart, like I could deduce the workings of any system from the bare first principles.

I feel really stupid now. Do you feel the same sometimes? Do you think I am dumb?
What ETFs do this?
Not "perhaps". It actually was designed for the 737 MAX, which comes in 4 lengths. Only the long one gets the fancy gear.

I respectfully disagree. I think most people would be okay with "average aesthetics" as long as the functionality of the product is designed well (flexible batteries in this case)

What looks good to 5/10 people, might not look good to the other 5/10. For an instance, consider an iPhone 4S. It is a pretty average design "aesthetically" IMO. But the phone did extraordinarily well because it was a well engineered phone. Another example is this website that you're looking at. I would call this average aesthetics as well.

Of course good aesthetics is an awesome add-on, but it is not fair to disqualify a product based on just aesthetics.
You writing all that is selfish.

The lord is giving me a death by having suicide in this reality as my natural death. :)

Your ignorance to face reality makes me assume the lord didn't choose to share it with you. All you have written are incorrect assumptions and compared to I; who can see the true intentions of fate.

You should be gracious the outcome of this conversation is me just offended at ignorance. I pity the few souls I've encountered for what I've shortly witnessed in reading these brief paragraphs and they've likely been of similar nature while communicated to others. Persons who cannot see reality for how it is and thus blamed people like you with thinking you all have free will. Evil isn't death. Evil is forcing good intentions upon others and as if you're from on high in judgement.

People will eventually lose their ego by not assuming they've become themselves by their own actions. People are forced into experiences until they die and for the purpose of the more privileged that are born later or the few that happen to be perfectly fated for the current system that's society.
So the FAA says "this is fucked" and and the EASA says "they're all good bro"[1], who do you side with?

The nice thing about climate change is that there will be no shortage of jobs for anyone. Miami's not going to move itself.
Downscaling the screen at "retina" resolutions works way better than your intuitions assume. I thought it would be terrible and ugly, but I was wrong. And I'm normally super picky about things being pixel-perfect.

The way macOS does it is perfect 99 percent of the time—and it guarantees no weirdness when app developers have differing ideas about how their app should react to scaling. Apple got this one right and everyone else should just copy them.
You already have to opt into kernel extensions in a very explicit way. I don't think what you mentioned about privacy is actually relevant to this dicussion.

RoutWire – WireGuard Mesh (PoC)
If $34T can't buy enough politicians to stop coal and subsidies and create carbon taxes, we're toast.
Dieter Rams’ 10 principles include long lasting (7) and environmentally friendly (9). Aesthetic is there (3), but it’s just 10% of it :)
I developed this app that I use for micro-segmenting networks. It works very well for me on ubuntu 18.04 as well as raspberry pi's. Sometimes to connect docker vm's to the reverse proxy without having to use swarm.

A Server assigns all the IP's (v4/v6) and Peer configs via MQTT out of band. Once the WireGuard Mesh is up, a vxlan interface and babeld create a meshed layer3 network. It then automatically distributes all bridges such as the one created by docker or other interfaces into the mesh and everything is reachable. It can inject a default route from several nodes for redundancy with different administrative distances.

It is a PoC at this point. I am just curious to hear what you think. I think there is elegance in the simplicity of this. Solutions exist already in npm and python but I find these dependencies unnecessary.

Improvements could be using sqlite for example.

Hands down, this was the comment I was looking for to agree with.
I had never heard of queueing theory until I read about it in a supply chain management textbook, and would have appreciated being at least aware of its existence much earlier than that. This is light, but it's a great way to introduce the topic to people who have never been exposed to it.

By the way, I also worked in a supply chain management department of about two thousand people for three years and I never heard anyone else mention queueing theory while I was there, so now I really wish at least this blog post were required reading for everyone in that department.
Sure.

But GE don't make "737MAX8 engines" specifically. They make the range of engines they have, and Boeing (and Airbus and Bombadier et al.) get to choose which one they want, given the constraints of their aircraft.

You _could_ fit a 500cu inch big block V8 into a Miata. Bit it's not gonna handle the same as it does with a 2L 4 cylinder in it, and it's gonna stick out the bonnet.
> I call these companies "state-controlled" because they are ultimately susceptible to the authoritarian central government's will.

If the companies are susceptible to the government's will, then attacks against the government would also be attacks on the companies. Defense and recovery against geopolitical espionage diverts resources away from those companies. Why is the drain on profit industrial espionage causes a problem while a drain on resources is acceptable?
Thank you very much for providing this information, those are some great leads I'll follow up.
And you think that doesn’t happen in liberal subreddits? I’ve been banned from /politics /News /worldnews all for disagreeing with people. All near instant bans. I’ve even been banned from non political forums because I shared unpopular view points, such as “femisnism has hurt dating dynamics”. Yes that got me banned. So you know full well wrongful and politically motivated bans happen all the time from both sides. So it’s a moot point.
You can't be serious! Did you literally yell those words at the screen?! That's pure madness.

Great read until "intersectionality" showed up.
What do you gain from it being open? Things like home brew will adapt. And this way the system gets a ton more secure. And with an ARM cpu we will get great performance but even better battery life probably. The software that we used to run will likley have to adapt and I’m sure we’ll be able to emulate x86 but the future seems to be ARM at least to Apple.
What's the problem with the airframe? What's the problem with the larger engine nacelle causing a different pitching moment? I've yet to read either of those violate any portion of FAR 25. There is still an open question whether the MAX should have or will have a separate type certificate from other 737's, thereby requiring pilots of a type rating to fly the MAX, thereby requiring full disclosure and training on all differences.

Which pilots should have had anyway, even if it didn't require a new type rating.
I for one have never really felt or noticed the effects of poor OpenGL support on macOS, at all in the last 10 years.

Metal seems much more compelling anyway, the Apple lock-in notwithstanding (even that is not so bad considering you can still target 4 rather popular device categories with Metal.)
Two things.

1) Humans are stupid. If we were not were not we would have long ago colonized the solar system. The technology is there but we rather not. We would rather fight, discriminate, and withhold knowledge which would, quite literally, save all of our lives.

2) Programming principles can be understood because they are based on concepts that are largely built upon a physical machine. Math can't really be understood, you just have to become accustom to it. Mathematics is simply too abstract to relate to things you already know like programming is. So when learning maths don't try too hard, just memorize, and familiarize. Once you start thinking you are smart you stop working and you stop learning.
Drivers are moving to userspace. What more low level access do you need other than that if you can write your own driver for things?
Sony MDR 7506. I got my first pair for monitoring to use with a Panasonic DVX-1000 video cam. I was so impressed I got a pair for my desk and have replaced them a few times over. I've tried may others' headphones but nothing beats it for midrange clarity and neutrality.

For my commute I'm using JVC HA-FXD80 in-earphones that I imported from Japan. Great isolation and sound. Again very neutral with clear midrange and no exaggeration of bass or treble. Surprisingly the wires are still fully attached despite being ripped out of my ears and catching on bags etc repeatedly.

Edit: I also keep a pair of Bose QuietComfort somethings around with no signal just NC and wear my in-earphones underneath them. Great combo on flights.
It's a shame the audio is so bad. Would love me a polished version...

I’ve been around the ad ecosystem for a decade, and for the better part of it I’ve been convinced that the audience needs a full seat at the table and a piece of the ad transaction if advertising is going to have a future at all on the web.

From the article:

Where are those details? I expected some math about the random distribution and how that adds up, but I can't even find the corresponding text passage to explain anything related to that.
I think you’re on the wrong platform. The platform of openness you’re looking for is the vast ecosystem of Linux or the BSDs. Apple has never really been open. They don’t release the OS to run on x86 boxes we build, the company is famously vertically integrated so it’s no surprise to me that they’re moving in this direction.
